The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 135

“Don't worry, you can just treat me to a meal.”

Seeing her being so serious, Ji Zheng didn't tease her further.

“I charged commission fees from Ms. An to handle these assets, a fixed salary wouldn't satisfy my appetite. I've already taken what I should, this is the remainder.”

Hearing him say this, Rong Dai felt relieved.

She put away the documents and bank card, and glanced at the time on her wristwatch. It was already dark outside.

“Thank you.”

She said and then added after a pause, “I'm afraid there's no time to treat Mr. Ji to a meal today. I'll definitely invite you another day to show my gratitude.”

Ji Zheng smiled and nodded. The woman married to Huo turned out to be quite interesting, different from other women.

“Second brother, what are you doing here?”

Just as Rong Dai was about to leave, she heard a female voice behind her. She looked back following Ji Zheng's gaze.

The other party was wearing an exquisitely embroidered cheongsam, with long hair draped loosely over her shoulders, looking very gentle and graceful.

She looked a bit familiar. Wasn't this Shi Ning, the granddaughter of the owner of Jinxiu Silk Shop?

“Handling some business. What are you doing here?”

Ji Zheng answered plainly.

“Mr. Ji, I'll get going then.”

Seeing the siblings seemed to have something to talk about, Rong Dai picked up her bag, preparing to leave.

“You are Mrs. Huo, right?”

Shi Ning's eyes fell on her. Recently Mrs. Huo had been all over the news headlines, trending every few days. Even if Shi Ning wanted to pretend not to recognize her, it would have been difficult. After all, she had seen her at the shopping mall last time. And during the Wansheng incident, her two partners had offended Mrs. Huo. How could Shi Ning not recognize Rong Dai?

“Hello, Miss Shi.”

Rong Dai didn't hide her identity, simply nodding her head lightly in greeting.

“I've heard a lot about you, Mrs. Huo. You are as beautiful as the rumors say. My name is Shi Ning, also called Ji Ning.”

Shi Ning smiled lightly and similarly nodded back.

Rong Dai smiled faintly without saying anything more. She naturally knew about those news reports online. There was nothing inappropriate in how the other party addressed her, so she didn't take it to heart.

“Second brother, how do you know her? Did Brother Huo introduce you?”

After Rong Dai left, Shi Ning sat down and asked him.

But Ji Zheng stood up, tidying his clothes. He glanced at her and spoke plainly, “She is the daughter of my client who came to handle the inheritance. Are you going to tell Mom about this too?”

With Rong Dai present earlier, he didn't show his displeasure. Now that she had left, he naturally dropped the pretense.

“Second brother, how can I further explain that incident to you? I didn't mean it, I was just concerned about you.”

Hearing him say this, Shi Ning immediately widened her eyes, feeling extremely wronged.

“I don't need your concern about my matters.”

Ji Zheng threw down this cold remark and left.

Shi Ning's face turned slightly pale, her fists clenching tightly all of a sudden.

Rong Dai was oblivious to the discord between the siblings. After leaving the restaurant, she headed to Huo Group.

Logging in to mobile banking with her phone, she checked the account balance of this bank card, and felt slightly relieved in her heart.

Seeing that the lights in the Huo Group building were still on with many people passing by hurriedly, she went into the tower with her bag.

She had come to the company many times before, so the front desk staff recognized her and automatically called the exclusive elevator for the CEO.

"Madam, the CEO is still handling some documents. Dinner has been sent to the top floor. The CEO asked Madam to wait upstairs for a while."

Seeing her come out of the elevator, Zhang the assistant lied with a very calm expression.

To prevent the truth from being exposed, he had been waiting here for a long time and was on the verge of a mental breakdown!

"I see... Then I'll go up first."

Rong Dai didn't suspect anything. Not wanting to disturb Huo Shaoting's work, she took the elevator up to the top floor.

After watching Rong Dai go up, Zhang the assistant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. This was too dangerous!

When Rong Dai arrived upstairs, the lights in the room were on but not too bright, emanating a lingering ambiguous warmth.

Her heart skipped a beat as her eyes noticed the exquisite dinner already prepared on the dining table.

There were candles on the table. Under the candlelight, the red wine looked very beautiful and tempting.

There were also some full blooming red roses on the table, arranged very romantically.

Her ears involuntarily turned red. Putting down her bag, she looked around the room. Even the bedding had been changed with red rose petals scattered on the floor and sheets, candles lit, creating an extremely ambiguous atmosphere.

Rong Dai's breathing quickened involuntarily. Her blood was boiling.

Shaoting, could he be wanting to...

Her heart pounded out of control, her cheeks burning hot. She saw a red strappy silk dress placed on the bed, along with a bottle of perfume.

She took a deep breath, her palms sweating uncontrollably.

Was Shaoting implying something?

Perhaps...perhaps it was okay now.

She bit her soft lips, her fingertips trembling slightly as she picked up the silk dress and perfume and went into the bathroom.

In the bathroom, she stared at herself in the mirror, her cheeks as red as rouge, intoxicatingly beautiful. Her eyes also revealed nervousness and a trace of anticipation that she couldn't restrain.

Although they had been together only for a short time, she didn't dare to confirm whether she and Huo Shaoting could really spend their whole lives together.

But she could see his sincerity and she was willing to give herself to him.

Her heart also yearned to get closer to him, even closer.

If physical intimacy was the best medium for their souls to blend and sublimate, she was very willing.

She had never had such a strong desire even for the Emperor in her previous life.

She didn't want to have any regrets.

She took a few deep breaths, and simply took a bath in the tub.

She wiped her body dry, applied moisturizer on her skin, blow dried her hair halfway, and sprayed some perfume on her palms and into her hair before blow drying it completely.

Her hair had some natural waves. Her skin was fair and delicate. After putting on the dress, the hot vivid color set off her snow white smooth skin even more.

The dress had straps, and her collarbones were very beautiful. Her figure was also very graceful.

Without such a large, clear mirror in her previous life, looking at herself in the mirror now, the words alluringly charming popped up in her mind uncontrollably.

Due to some constraints on women and her role as Empress in her previous life, she had never truly examined herself before.

Looking at herself in the mirror now, she even felt that she had lived her previous life in vain.

This body of hers was extremely beautiful. She could be dignified when needed, and also be charmfully alluring.

Thinking of what was going to happen soon, her whole body felt hot and restless, her blood boiling like water.

She went out and found Huo Shaoting's suit jacket to put on. Sitting quietly at the dining table waiting for him to come up, her palms were sweating from nervousness. She drank some wine trying to calm herself down.
