The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 137

"You're just a young girl, interfering with your elder brother and sister-in-law's affairs. If this was ancient times, your reputation would have stunk long ago," Jiang Xu said to Huo Mei Shu, who was sipping coffee with her eyes closed enjoying it, feeling a bit exasperated.

Huo Mei Shu glanced at him, in a very good mood, and said somewhat coquettishly, "I'm happy to!"

She was genuinely delighted that her sister-in-law's relationship with her brother had improved.

But these two hadn't even broken through that kind of intimate barrier yet, so her heart was still hanging.

This time she had painstakingly created an opportunity for the two of them.

They hadn't come back last night or been seen today either.

This morning her brother had even called to have Wang Ma stew pigeon soup and deliver it over, so she knew things had worked out.

The huge weight pressing down on her heart could finally be released.

After breaking through this barrier in their relationship, she believed her brother and sister-in-law's feelings would definitely grow even better. As long as her brother was happy, she could relax.

Jiang Xu was very tactful and didn't continue talking about this matter, as after all it was the Huo family's business, especially Huo Shao Ting's personal affairs.

"How's your music recital coming along?" he changed the topic.

"It's fine. I've already selected the songs and booked the venue. I handed over the other miscellaneous tasks to the event planning company. I just need to send out the invitations and I'll be good to go," Huo Mei Shu said somewhat absentmindedly.

"Wasn't this something you had always wanted to do? Why don't you seem happy about it?"

Jiang Xu was attentive and upon noticing something off with her, asked this.

"It's nothing. I'm just thinking about the clothing."

Huo Mei Shu put down her cup and looked at the neon lights outside. Her mood was a bit irritable.

Her brother and sister-in-law's issue was resolved, but her own issue still wasn't.

A flash of anomaly passed through Jiang Xu's eyes. He understood her so well, how could he not know what she was feeling irritable about?

"I'm going back first."

Huo Mei Shu grabbed her bag and immediately left. She was only holding this private musical recital because she wanted to see that person.

But she knew that person's temperament. He probably wouldn't come to a private recital like this.

...

Rong Dai slept from afternoon until night, and her vital energy finally recovered a bit.

When she woke up, Huo Shao Ting still hadn't come upstairs yet. Clean clothes had already been prepared for her on the nearby sofa.

Her whole body ached and felt very uncomfortable. Rong Dai hadn't expected they would be so wildly passionate.

Her heart was both sweet and a little shy. After crawling out of bed, she simply washed up and changed into the clothes.

The clothes conveniently covered all the marks on her body, but there was no helping the few places on her neck.

Rong Dai was a little resentful. She could only let her long hair down. Luckily it was nighttime, so unless someone stared closely at her neck, they wouldn't notice.

Looking at the messy bed, her ears couldn't help flushing red again. She decided to change the bedding to fresh sheets.

When she opened the closet, she saw that in addition to Huo Shao Ting's clothes, she also had a lot of her own clothes inside now.

This warmth spread through her heart, and she couldn't help smiling lightly.

"What are you smiling about?"

She didn't know when Huo Shao Ting had come upstairs. He embraced her waist from behind, and his lips followed to land on her soft hair.

Rong Dai had been a little nervous at first, but then relaxed, leaning against him very reassured.

Although it was just intimacy between a married couple, it had brought more tenderness to each of their hearts, and their feelings grew even more intense.

Rong Dai had a faint smile on her face, but it was very gentle.

It seemed that after last night's passion, her transformation from girl to woman had given her some unique feminine charm.

"Are you planning to treat this place as home now?"

She had said this casually, but Huo Shao Ting took it seriously.

Perhaps they should have a little home of their own.

A small home that belonged just to her and himself. In the future, there would also be their children.

Just imagining that scene caused Huo Shao Ting's heart to tremble lightly.

He turned her body around to face him. Looking at the woman before him, he couldn't express the tenderness in his heart with words. This woman was like she had seeped into his marrow, imprinting deeply on his soul.

He held her, his deep eyes looking at her very seriously: "Rong Dai, we can have a little home."

Rong Dai was stunned for a moment, her gaze meeting his.

She understood the implication behind his words.

"Mm," she murmured softly, leaning against his sturdy chest and listening to his strong, forceful heartbeat.

Perhaps she really could gain such happiness.

"Oh right, there's one thing I have to take care of."

Rong Dai suddenly remembered that 2 billion debt and hurriedly went to grab her bag from him.

Huo Shao Ting looked at her puzzled, and followed along.

Rong Dai breathed a long sigh of relief holding the bank card.

"Sit down and talk."

Huo Shao Ting considerately sat down on the sofa himself but wanted to pull Rong Dai to sit on his lap.

Rong Dai's cheeks flushed, but she didn't have that intense shyness from before.

Holding the bank card, she looked at him solemnly: "Shao Ting, do you still remember the 2 billion debt I mentioned before?"

Huo Shao Ting nodded. He didn't care about these things. She was his wife. He earned money precisely so their quality of life could be better.

"Perhaps right now I still can't admit some things to you, or say more about certain matters."

Rong Dai had a grave expression. She still couldn't reveal her former identity to Huo Shao Ting right now.

"I understand. This is good. Like I said, whenever you feel like talking about it in the future, it won't be too late. And if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine too."

"What I love is who you are now."

Someone as astute as Huo Shao Ting, how could he not understand this issue?

He held her, and his slightly cool lips kissed the back of her hand gently. His voice was very gentle as he answered her.

"I'm not being melodramatic. It's just, for me, this is an ending as well as a new beginning."

Rong Dai spoke softly, looking at him with great sincerity in her eyes.

"It's the end between you and her, and the beginning between you and me."

What she said was actually equivalent to indirectly admitting to Huo Shao Ting what he had sensed.

Someone as intelligent as Huo Shao Ting naturally understood the implication.

His heart was shocked, and also a little panicked.

Since she could come into his life, might she suddenly leave one day and be replaced by the other one again?

His expression suddenly changed. He held Rong Dai tighter unconsciously.

"Shao Ting..."

"I'm just nervous and afraid. What if you two switch places again someday? What would I do to find you?"

Hearing her voice, Huo Shao Ting hurriedly asked anxiously.

The unease and panic in his eyes were very clear to Rong Dai.

She hadn't considered this issue before. After all, she had seen the original owner in her dreams.

Her face also turned a little pale. She didn't want to return to the abyss again.
