The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 160

"Shao Ting?"

When she saw Huo Shao Ting's back facing her as he made a phone call by the window, she hesitated and called out to him softly.

"That's it."

Huo Shao Ting hung up the phone and turned around to look at her. Seeing the hanger in her hand, his deep eyes revealed a teasing smile, "You're going to use that to fight bad guys?"

Rong Dai was instantly embarrassed. She glared at him before putting the hanger back and took Huo Shao Jie's suit off the rack.

"Whose suit is that?" Huo Shao Ting's eyes narrowed immediately.

"Shao Jie's."

"Why are you wearing his suit?" Huo Shao Ting continued asking.

Rong Dai was a little exasperated. She hadn't even asked him why he was here yet!

"What are you doing here?"

"Answer my question first."

Rong Dai: "..."

Not waiting for her to speak, Huo Shao Ting strode over to her side. Of course he could smell the wine scent on her body.

"Have you been drinking?"

Rong Dai shook her head, "I didn't drink, someone just spilled wine on me."

"Who was it?" Huo Shao Ting's eyes instantly turned ominous.

"It was just an accident. That's why Shao Jie lent me his jacket to wear back. Let me go clean up first, wait for me."

Although Rong Dai liked drinking, the smell of wine made her very uncomfortable. She briefly explained a few sentences before going into the bathroom.

Huo Shao Ting frowned. After she entered the bathroom, he immediately called Huo Mei Shu.

Huo Mei Shu was at a loss in her room. She had originally wanted to resolve this matter for her sister-in-law.

But she realized that without her big brother and second brother's help, she seemed unable to accomplish this.

Just as she was feeling dejected, she received Huo Shao Ting's call.

"What happened to your sister-in-law at the banquet tonight?" His voice was extremely cold.

Huo Mei Shu shuddered and quickly gave him a detailed report.

Huo Shao Ting's face instantly darkened.

After washing up in the bathroom, Rong Dai changed into clean clothes and came out to see him just hanging up the phone. She looked at him helplessly,

"It's just a small matter, I can handle it."

She didn't want Huo Shao Ting to intervene every time something happened, that would make her seem disabled.

Although being such a disabled person was comfortable, she would lose her own brilliance.

"Really, believe me."

Seeing that he was still frowning, Rong Dai took the initiative to wrap her arms around his waist, looking up at him with bright eyes, completely like a little woman.

Huo Shao Ting couldn't resist her charm. His expression eased as he said very helplessly, "Just this once. If you can't handle similar situations in the future, I'll take care of them."

Rong Dai was exasperated but her heart felt warm.

The feeling of being cared for and worried about really felt so good.

"You still haven't answered me, what are you doing here?"

Seeing that his expression had eased, Rong Dai was practically hanging on him as she spoke, her tone mixed with some coquetry.

In front of Huo Shao Ting, she was gradually shedding the pitiful sensibility from her past life, and revealing more of her feminine side.

With Huo Shao Ting, she realized that sometimes women don't need to be too sensible.

In her past life, she was too sensible, too dignified, which ultimately led to the estrangement between her and the Emperor.

Although Noble Consort Hui definitely played a part, she was also at fault fundamentally.

There is a saying that goes, "A crying child gets candy, a coquettish woman lives best."

Although this saying is not absolute, sometimes women can let go of some of that sensibility and pride, and perhaps get an even warmer response.

"I missed you."

Huo Shao Ting made no attempt to conceal his feelings. He tilted her chin up with his hand and lowered his head to kiss her.

Rong Dai's ears instantly turned red. She looked at him with shimmering eyes, the warmth filling her heart was indescribable.

This man gave her warmth and security.

Although they had only been apart for a few hours, she had been missing him constantly in her heart.

She just didn't expect him to come chasing after her so quickly.

"I missed you too, Shao Ting."

Her slightly coy voice was very soft and tender, making Huo Shao Ting's heart tremble. His eyes grew fiery hot. He swept her into his arms and carried her with big strides toward the bed.

"The curtains...the curtains aren't drawn."

Rong Dai's breathing grew urgent, her face flushed as she reminded him.

Huo Shao Ting took a deep breath. He practically leapt from the bed to stride over and yank the curtains closed.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder, they had only been apart for a few hours, yet Huo Shao Ting’s passion and her ardent response made the slightly sultry night even more sweltering.

After their passion, Rong Dai lay sprawled on the bed, looking at him resentfully.

Seeing her slightly parted red lips, the blush still lingering on her cheeks, Huo Shao Ting felt a surge of tenderness. He leaned over her from behind to kiss her.

Rong Dai glared at him indignantly, but to Huo Shao Ting, she looked charming and extremely alluring like this.

Annoyed, she could only turn over and wrap herself tightly in the blanket.

The smile never leaving Huo Shao Ting's lips, he took a tissue to gently wipe the beads of perspiration from her forehead.

"Wife, I love you."

His actions were gentle, and he didn't forget to whisper sweet nothings.

Rong Dai felt both sweet and annoyed inside, she just gripped the blanket tightly without answering him.

Ding dong ding dong!

Suddenly the doorbell rang loudly, making Rong Dai jump in shock.

"I'll get it."

Seeing that she wanted to get up, Huo Shao Ting pressed her shoulders down. He got up naked and went to the closet to grab a robe to put on before going barefoot to open the door.

"Sister-in-law, I know how to deal with that wretched Yang Wanwan! I...Big brother?"

As soon as the door opened, Huo Mei Shu excitedly said while looking at her phone. Sensing something wrong, she glanced up and saw her big brother. She was stunned for a moment.

Huo Shao Ting ignored her and took her phone to look at it, instructing lightly, "Send me the video."

"Oh...okay."

"Bang!"

Huo Mei Shu had just finished answering when the huge sound of the door slamming shut rang out. The gust of wind blowing through the crack hit her face, stinging a little.

Looking at the closed door, Huo Mei Shu was not upset at all. Her mind went back to remembering her big brother's appearance just now.

He seemed to be making love to her sister-in-law?

So did she...interrupt their lovemaking?

No wonder he got angry.

Huo Mei Shu sniffed innocently and walked back, quickly sending the video over. Her heart instantly felt at ease.

"Was that Mei Shu?"

Seeing Huo Shao Ting return, Rong Dai asked.

"Mm."

"Then she must have something important. She felt very guilty about what happened tonight, but it wasn't her fault at all. Give me your phone and let me comfort her, don't let her overthink."

Rong Dai said helplessly. She was rather fond of this little sister-in-law.

"No need. She came to show you this."

Huo Shao Ting held up his phone and played the video Huo Mei Shu had sent, for her to see.

Watching the video, Rong Dai saw Yang Wanwan deliberately pouring wine on her, clear as day.

"Who filmed this? It's so clear."

If this video got out, those netizens would be slapped in the face again. They were probably going to be very upset.
