As soon as Director Feng stepped out of the studio and approached the gate, he saw a car by the side of the road and the silhouette of a man leaning on the car. He looked around but couldn't see anyone else but to be sure that the man was the person he was looking for, he dialled the number from Mo Ning's phone again and after hearing the sound of ringing and seeing the man answering the call then hearing his voice from the phone in his hands, he quickly walked up to the man. It was Shen Mucheng.
After the formal shaking of hands and exchange of pleasantries which took a little over thirty seconds, they both began to walk towards the studio and Director Feng began to explain to him what had happened as far as he knew.
Listening to his version of the entire incident alone made Shen Mucheng's jaw clench.
Even though he was trying very hard to suppress his emotions, the light that flashed in his eyes for a second was enough to tell how much he wanted a human punching bag at the moment.
He couldn't accept that the same woman he wanted to protect so much and couldn't even bear to harm or even let someone else do her harm had been subjected to such cruel treatment.
He wanted so much to get to the bottom of things and then make the person experience a life worse than death. But at the same time, he knew that now wasn't the time to be rash because all that mattered to him above everything else at that moment, was Mo Ning.
No matter how hard he had tried to push her away and stop her feelings for him, he knew better than anyone else that deep down somewhere, he loved her more than he had ever loved anyone else.
Suppressing the pain, anger and other conflicting emotions warring within him, he trailed behind Director Feng as they stepped into the studio.
He couldn't be more glad that he hadn't forgotten to put on a mask before entering the studio because various pairs of eyes glanced in his direction as soon as they stepped into the studio.
Not wasting any time, Director Feng briskly walked towards the dressing room Shen Mucheng trailing behind.
As soon as they got in, Director Feng dismissed all irrelevant personnel from the room leaving behind only Mo Ning's assistant, Shen Mucheng, himself and Mo Ning.
Mentally giving Director Feng a giant thumbs up for his wisdom, Shen Mucheng slowly walked towards Mo Ning scared of startling her.
She was sitting on a chair, her head against the wall, and a faraway look in her eyes.
She seemed lost.
The thought of that sends a searing pain through Shen Mucheng. A pain he couldn't describe nor understand.
Carefully, he extends his hands to her face gently wiping away the residual tears in her eyes after which he tucked her hair, that appeared to have grown longer a bit since the first time he met her, behind her ear before burying her face in his chest.
She tensed up at first but relaxed a bit after smelling the familiar Cologne mixed with that other scent that was uniquely his.
" Xiao Ning, I'm here" He whispered into her hair after feeling her tensed body relax a bit.
