The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 138

"I... I don't know either."

Rong Dai's heart was also filled with trepidation after hearing Huo Shao Ting's words.

Since she and the original owner were able to switch souls, would they switch back again one day?

For a moment, her mind was in turmoil, and the joy and anticipation for the future between them vanished in an instant like ashes.

Panic and unease enveloped her like cold tidal waters.

Huo Shao Ting did not expect that his simple question would startle her so much.

"Don't worry, as long as you exist, I will find a way to find you."

It seemed they would have to let Huang Expert continue researching this matter.

Rong Dai's face turned pale, and it took her a long time to calm down.

Huo Shao Ting held her tightly. His unease was no less than hers.

It was not until Zhang Assistant knocked on the door that Rong Dai gradually came back to her senses. She looked at Huo Shao Ting with very complicated eyes, full of anxiety.

If it were not for the feelings between them, even if she really returned to that cold palace one day, she would just go back.

But Huo Shao Ting was here now. This man had entered her heart.

"It's alright. I'm here. Nothing will happen, okay? Let's go eat now."

Huo Shao Ting cupped her face and kissed her lightly, then raised his hand to tidy her hair. His voice was gentle and his gaze earnest and resolute as he looked at her.

Rong Dai knew that even if this did happen one day, there was nothing she could do. Such bizarre events were inexplainable to anyone.

She held Huo Shao Ting's hand tightly, trying to suppress the unease in her heart.

The couple went to the restaurant. Rong Dai relaxed a lot more. She knew worrying was useless.

Since this was the case, she should cherish every moment with him.

"The Chinese food here is very good. You'll probably like it."

Huo Shao Ting led her over and thoughtfully pulled out a chair for her. After she sat down, he took the seat across from her.

Rong Dai looked around. The décor here was classical, just the way she liked it.

"This place is nice."

She smiled lightly and nodded. She appreciated his thoughtfulness and didn't want to disappoint him.

After the couple finished their meal, Rong Dai leaned on his shoulder. They could hear each other's steady breaths clearly.

"Shao Ting, what's your bank account number?"

She was still thinking about the 2 billion yuan.

Huo Shao Ting was a bit exasperated. He asked her to give him her bank card and called Zhang Assistant to handle it.

In just a few minutes, they both received a text message on their phones that it was done.

When Rong Dai saw the string of digits, she didn't feel distressed. On the contrary, she felt relieved, as if a huge invisible burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Huo Shao Ting on his phone not knowing what he was up to, she asked and leaned in closer to see his screen.

"Making you my bodhi seeds..."

Rong Dai was startled when she saw the Weibo username.

"I want to be the bodhi seeds in your heart."

Huo Shao Ting turned to look at her affectionately and gently said, unable to resist planting a light peck on her lips.

"How did you know about that?"

Rong Dai was no fool. With what he just said, how could she not understand?

"If I want to know something, I'll naturally find out."

Huo Shao Ting smiled lightly in reply. She saw that among the accounts he followed, hers was the only one. And this account of his was newly registered.

Now it was her turn to be exasperated.

They say people in the throes of love are fools, and this saying really wasn't false.

She hadn't expected the esteemed CEO Huo Shao Ting to do such seemingly childish things.

But she knew this was this man's way of expressing his feelings for her.

Her gaze grew somewhat blurry, and there was a trace of slyness in it, filled with satisfaction. She moved closer to his cheek and planted a kiss there.

Although the two were already quite intimate, her heart still raced and she still felt as sweet as honey when taking the initiative to do this.

Huo Shao Ting took a picture of their clasped hands and added the 2 billion yuan screenshot, compiling a string of words: My life is yours, wife's betrothal gift.

Rong Dai laughed helplessly looking at it: "A 2 billion yuan betrothal gift to marry you, a big CEO, seems a bit of a loss for me."

"Not at all. I'm the one who gained more."

Seeing her radiant smile, Huo Shao Ting's heart softened to a syrupy sweetness.

The couple didn't linger outside for long before returning to the Huo residence.

"Rong Dai is back! Hurry and come try this. I just brought this bird's nest back from overseas. It's great for women!"

They had just changed their shoes when Lu Zheng walked out from the kitchen beaming, a bowl of bird's nest in her hands. She happily placed it on the dining table and came over to her.

"Mom? When did you come back? Why didn't you tell us to come pick you up?"

Seeing her mother-in-law at home, Rong Dai was surprised. She looked puzzledly at Huo Shao Ting as her mother-in-law pulled her over to the dining table to sit down.

"We have drivers at home. Having them drive back and forth is too much trouble. I just got home today. Quick, try this bird's nest and tell me how it is!"

Lu Zheng looked at her with warmth and satisfaction in her eyes, as well as thick concern. Her gaze kept sweeping over her neck.

Rong Dai's cheeks flushed red. She suddenly thought of something and hurriedly covered her neck with her hand.

Mother-in-law must have found out about what happened between her and Shao Ting last night.

"Mom, I..."

"Mom understands, mom understands everything. Mom has been through this too. How could I not understand? There's nothing to be ashamed about. Nowadays, isn't open-mindedness advocated?"

Lu Zheng smiled amiably sitting next to her. Rong Dai's face was burning hot.

This was just...too awkward.

"Shao Ting is young and vigorous. You're too thin and must eat more to nourish your body. As long as you two are well, I'll feel at ease."

Lu Zheng smiled and gently patted her shoulder.

"I'm going upstairs to rest now. Rushing back on a plane is quite tiring."

Seeing her embarrassed red face, Lu Zheng's smile didn't diminish. What she cared about wasn't the issue of having grandchildren.

Rather, it was that her eldest son could truly be happy and blessed. Only then would she feel at ease.

"Shao Ting, you have to be considerate of Rong Dai and not act on your own impulses, understand?"

Before going upstairs, Lu Zheng solemnly and sternly reminded Huo Shao Ting. The implication was clear to both of them.

Rong Dai's face was as red as a ripe tomato. Even the enthusiastic mother-in-law was too much for her to handle!

She suddenly missed how her mother-in-law had been neither cold nor warm to her when she first arrived. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑒𝔀𝓮𝘣𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝓵.𝒸𝑜𝘮

That would have been so much better!

This was too awkward now!

"Mm." Huo Shao Ting gave a light murmur of assent, loosening his tie as he went to sit next to Rong Dai.

"You just ate. Don't force yourself to drink it if you don't want to. Let it be. She's just like this."

Rong Dai smiled helplessly. Of course she understood her mother-in-law's good intentions.

Love breeds love after all. She understood that principle.

"It's fine. Mom rushed back on a plane. This is her way of caring. I understand what she means, so don't be nervous."

She had been through this before. How could she not understand these things?
