169 FORCED


    This was the first time one of thepany''s artists dared to hang up on Lan Xi!


    An A-Grade model called Tangning.


    Lan Xi endured her anger and held back her temper as she phoned An Zihao. After looking through


    Tangning''s schedule, An Zihao replied, "Since you gave all of Tangning''s previous jobs to Li Danni


    and Hua Yuan, Tangning ended up epting other ones. Her schedule is already full. I''m sorry, but


    it is not our problem."


    Of course, it wasn''t Tangning and An Zihao''s problem.


    Lan Xi only had herself to me.


    She had never imagined Tangning would be so popr because of LM''s highlights. And she


    definitely did not expect, her clients would insist on using Tangning.

    Losing a bit ofpensation wasn''t a huge deal. But...


    ...as the CEO of Cheng Tian with ultimate authority and power, how could she let a model mess


    around with her?


    Lan Xi hung up the phone. If Tangning was in front of her right now, she would pounce on her and


    tear her to shreds. After a moment of quiet thought, Lan Xi called Luo Hao into her office. She


    ced one hand to her forehead as she spoke in a tired manner, "That Long Jie, who else does she


    have at home?"


    "Her parents passed away early. She only has a grandfather."


    "Then what are you waiting for? There are only 2 days left until Tangning goes on Feng Cai.


    Immediately send someone to pick up Long Jie''s grandfather. Make sure to be discreet..." Lan Xi


    dropped her arms to her sides and walked over to the window. She looked out into the distance.


    "Lan Xi..." Luo Hao looked at Lan Xi with a deep expression. He had never seen Lan Xi do


    something so disgusting out in the open.


    "I want Tangning to fall into my trap. I want her to know that I am the one in charge!"


    Now that things had gotten to this stage, it was no longer a simple internal fight. As Lan Xi and


    Tangning''s rtionship deteriorated, there was bound to be a bloody battle; neither party wanted to


    bow down to the other.


    Luo Hao looked at Lan Xi''s confident expression before nodding his head, "I understand...I''ll handle


    this matter well."


    "We need to use extreme methods to deal with extreme people."


    In reality, Tangning had always been passively revolting against Lan Xi; she didn''t want to end up


    being stepped over by Lan Xi. After all, in Lan Xi''s eyes, her models either had to be like Li Danni


    with a bit of overconfidence and easy to control or like Hua Yuan who could differentiate from right


    and wrong but had to follow the crowd.


    Tangning wasn''t willing to do any of that, she just wanted to be herself...


    After confirming Feng Cai''s appearance time, Tangning went to a few magazines that were


    arranged by An Zihao for some interviews. In the evening, Tangning suddenly received a message


    from Mo Ting, "Come to Crown Hotel tonight, I have booked a candlelit dinner."


    Tangning nced at the date on her phone before smiling, "What is it? It''s not like today is our


    wedding anniversary..."


    "I want to show you the best view in Beijing."


    Tangning put away her phone and turned to look at Long Jie and An Zihao. She originally wanted


    An Zihao to drive her to Hai Rui, but Long Jie suddenly said,


    "My grandfather hase to Beijing to visit me...I need to hurry home."


    "How about we go see your grandfather together."


    "No need. Tangning, ording to your poprity, you have fans everywhere you go, you should let


    my grandfather off," Long Jie pressed her palms together and did an exaggerated praying gesture.


    Tangning let out a gentleugh as she said to Long Jie, "In that case, have fun with your


    grandfather. I''ll give you 2 days off."


    "OK," Long Jie nodded as she smiled sweetly.


    Afterwards, Tangning instructed An Zihao to drop off Long Jie before driving her to Hai Rui. After Mo


    Ting appeared, An Zihao quickly retreated and handed Tangning over to Mo Ting.


    He had recently been preupied with investigating the truth behind Yun Xin''s death.


    Mo Ting and Tangning boarded the car. The couple smiled at each other. Upon arriving at Crown


    Hotel, they drove the car through the VIP entrance. Mo Ting originally intended on handing the car


    keys to the valet, but...Tangning noticed the valet had his head down the entire time.


    At this moment, Tangning couldn''t exin the emotion that hit her. All the hate she once had, had


    completely dissipated because the man with his arm hooked around her was full of warmth.


    "What are you looking at?" Mo Ting asked.


    "The person just now was Han Yufan," Tangning replied calmly. Seeing Mo Ting''s eyebrows scrunch


    up, she quickly exined, "Hey, don''t misunderstand. I was just a little surprised; doesn''t he have a


    mother that married a director? Logically speaking, even if he was to be kicked out of Tianyi, he


    shouldn''t end up here.


    Mo Ting was a little unhappy as he ced his jacket on Tangning''s shoulder and dragged her by the


    hand into the lift.


    Tanging chuckled; it was rare to see Mo Ting being jealous. So she stretched out her hand, linked


    Mo Ting''s fingers and swayed his hand, "He is in the past..."


    Mo Ting took the opportunity to grab her chin and force her to look him in the eyes, "Then you


    should take more initiative. I want to be your future!"


    Tangning seized the chance to nt a kiss on Mo Ting''s lips before hiding her blushing cheeks


    against his neck, "Is this enough?"


    Mo Ting was satisfied as he pulled her into his embrace. He then took Tangning to the top of the


    building - the 120th level.


    "This is the highest point in Beijing. From here you can see the entire city."


    Tangning stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down. She couldn''t help but feel


    moved by the sparkling lights of the city below. Not long after, she felt a pair of arms wrap around


    her and a set of soft lips press firmly against her neck, "Afraid of heights?"


    "With you here, I''m not afraid," Tangning shook her head.


    With the satisfaction of being needed and being depended on, Mo Ting turned Tangning''s head and


    gently lowered his kiss, "Actually, a ce like this...is even more suitable for kissing..."


    "Why do you say that?"


    "Because it''s high up and it''s easy to be short of breath!"


    Meanwhile, Long Jie hurried home. However, as she approached, she did not see her grandfather.


    Instead, she found Luo Hao waiting for her.


    Long Jie looked at him suspiciously as she picked up her phone to call her grandfather. But, Luo


    Hao grabbed her phone out of her hand and hung up for her. He then tilted his head and said, "Get


    in the car. Don''t you want to see your grandfather?"


    "What did you do with my grandfather?" Long Jie was stunned for a moment before suddenly


    realizing something wasn''t right. Her eyes were red and her voice was raspy.


    "What can we do with him? We merely invited him over as a guest..." After speaking, Luo Hao


    opened the car door and hinted for Long Jie not to waste any more time.


    Long Jie didn''t understand Luo Hao''s motive and didn''t know where her grandfather was. So, she


    could only bite her lip as she boarded Luo Hao''s ck luxury car.


    Not long after, the two of them pulled up outside Lan Xi''s home. Long Jie had a bad feeling as she


    grabbed on to Luo Hao and asked, "Did President Lan bring my grandfather here? What is she


    trying to force me to do?"


    She had, after all, been in this industry for a long time, so she had a natural sensitivity to stuff like


    this.


    "If you want to know, then go in..." Luo Hao pulled away from her grip and responded to her


    casually before pushing open the door.
