Sweet Military Marriage: Mr. Jing, Please Spare Me!

Ning Hua apologized profusely while he held onto Wen Ting Ting's hand to help her get up.

Tears welled up in Wen Ting Ting's eyes, but she didn't cry. Instead, she looked at Ning Hua with a hurt expression.

Wen Ting Ting's eyes were filled with hurt, and they made Ning Hua felt very guilty for treating her that way.

Ning Hua recalled the times that they had been together, and he felt even more remorseful because Wen Ting Ting had always helped him, and yet, he got angry at her just now and harmed her.

"Ting Ting, I'm sorry… I'm really sorry... I didn't mean to get angry at you..."

Ning Hua held onto Wen Ting Ting's face and stroke it gently as though trying to remove the pain from her face.

Seeing that Ning Hua had finally calmed down, the makeup artist immediately came over to look at Wen Ting Ting's face.

The makeup artist inspected Wen Ting Ting's face, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"Her face is very red and swollen. She wouldn't be able to take part in the competition this way."

"What?" Ning Hua was shocked, and Wen Ting Ting pretended to be stunned as well.

"Can't we hide it with makeup?"

"No. It is too swollen to be able to hide with the makeup. People would notice that something is wrong with her face. Also, even if the face is no longer swollen and we could hide the redness with makeup, her lips would remain swollen for a while. She is not only bleeding on the outside, but her cheek on the inside is also bleeding, and that is what is causing most of the swelling. Furthermore, heavy makeup would affect the overall look because we are going for a more natural and purer look."

Wen Ting Ting 'cried' out when she heard the makeup artist's words, "Hua... What are we going to do?"

Wen Ting Ting was still in Ning Hua's arms, and she hid her face in his arms while she cried out.

When Wen Ting Ting leaned into Ning Hua's arms, she suddenly felt her heart scrunched up in pain because she recalled the times when they used to do this in the past. She believed that Ning Hua truly liked her in the past, but perhaps, his ego and his career were more important than her. That was also why his love for her wasn't enough for him to put down everything just for her.

Since when did things change so much?

Since when did this warm embrace turn into something that I can't even trust?

Wen Ting Ting couldn't help but think of all those things while she was in Ning Hua's arms.

While thinking, tears started to roll down Wen Ting Ting's eyes, and she made a promise in her heart that that would be the last time she cried for Ning Hua. So, she decided to pour her heart out in his arms.

Seeing that Wen Ting Ting was crying so hard, Ning Hua felt even more guilty than before, and he held onto her tightly.

"Ting Ting... I'm sorry..."

Ning Hua tightened his hold on Wen Ting Ting's body as he stroked her hair gently.

Ning Hua then turned his head to the makeup artist, "So what are we going to do now? What are your suggestions since you said that we couldn't hide Ting Ting's face with makeup?"

"The only thing we can do now is to change a model."

"But Ting Ting is supposed to wear the main design. The other four models are sub-models."

As the designers are allowed up to five designs in the final competition, they are also allowed to have five models.

"We have no choice. If we don't change the model, then we can only wait to lose because the overall feel will change completely, and we have no confidence in that."

Ning Hua kept quiet for a moment, and he felt very frustrated by whatever that was going on.

"Alright. Contact the other model that we wanted to choose and let her replace Ting Ting."

"Ok."

Ning Hua then calmed himself down before he planted a kiss on Wen Ting Ting's head, "Ting Ting, I'm sorry…"

Wen Ting Ting continued to sob, but she put up her brightest smile like usual.

"It's alright… Good luck with the competition later. I will stay here to rest."

In the past, Wen Ting Ting would also try to look happy in front of Ning Hua even when she was down because she didn't want to make him worried. She also didn't want to make him feel as though she was a burden that he had to care for, so she always put up a strong front.

Ning Hua looked at how Wen Ting Ting was trying so hard to smile even though she was sad, and he felt a pain in his ċhėst. He tightened his hold on her even more, and a thought flashed across his mind.

Am I wrong to use Ting Ting for my future, and let her wait for me forever while I try to stand at the top?

"Mm. Ting Ting, when everything is over, let's get married..."

Wen Ting Ting's heart stopped for a moment, but she nodded.

"It won't be for long. I promise. Once the competition is over, and Lu Jin Sheng and Blue Diamond Entertainment disappear from the entertainment industry, Ning's Fashion would have an even stronger position than before. When I am at the top, we will get married right away. So, please continue to wait for me. Things would be over real soon."

"Mm. I had been waiting."
