Chapter 342. Tangning Has Never Been Mediocre
"What happened?" Mo Ting asked quietly after he and Tangning reached a quiet spot.
Tangning gripped tightly to the corner of Mo Ting's shirt and replied with a complex look in her eyes, "It seems he wants to get revenge for Han Yufan. The wife of Director Zheng is Han Yufan's mother and the two of them seem to be on good terms with Elder Zhang."
Plus, with her status, being bullied at an event like this, was a common occurrence. After all, her career wasn't well established yet and she hadn't done anything particularly deserving of respect.
Mo Ting looked carefully into Tangning's eyes before he grabbed hold of her right hand and said, "Hold on tightly..."
Tangning looked down at their intertwined hands and finally felt a lot more relaxed.
After they returned to the ballroom, everyone looked at Tangning in a different light. Mo Ting had already protected Tangning in the open and behind-the-scenes for quite some time, but this was the first time he did it at such a big-scale event. Not too long ago, he had announced her relationship with him, this time, he had made everyone aware of her status.
Tangning watched as Mo Ting conversed with others; she watched as he dodged and avoided difficult questions that were thrown his way. She found herself tightening her grip on Mo Ting's hand.
In this icy cold industry; this industry driven by profits; there was still a man willing to hold onto her hand through all the darkness. Above all, he sheltered her from the storm and guided her in the right direction. Tangning felt, in this lifetime, even if she had to give up her life for Mo Ting, she would do it without regrets.
Feeling his hand had almost lost circulation from Tangning's tight grip, Mo Ting lowered his head and looked at their hands. He then whispered into Tangning's ear, "How tight are you holding my hand?"
