Chapter 196

Huo Shao Ting and his wife Rong Dai sat in a teahouse by the West Lake. The teahouse was decorated very elegantly. Rong Dai was skilled at brewing tea, so there was no need for a tea master to serve them.

The couple drank tea and watched the snowy scenery of West Lake. Time slipped by swiftly.

Huo Shao Ting sent a message to Zhang Assistant, and soon received the addresses and contact information of the best silk factories in Hangzhou.

Because Zhang Assistant had made contact in advance, the general managers came out to receive Huo Shao Ting and Rong Dai when they arrived.

The Huo family was involved in a wide range of industries. Being able to connect with the Huo Group could help promote their reputation, so the managers were very diligent in introducing their products to Rong Dai.

Rong Dai had discerning taste. She had seen all kinds of exquisite materials in her previous life, but she was still polite and listened patiently to the manager's introductions without embarrassing him.

She selected some fashionable fabrics, and although the order was not large, the manager did not dare to be negligent and provided very attentive service.

The couple then drove to visit several other factories to see fabrics. Modern industry was more efficient than hand weaving, with novel styles and excellent quality.

Rong Dai easily found the fabrics she wanted. Some were hand woven, but most were machine woven.

"So much..."

Sitting in the car and seeing the totals, even Rong Dai was shocked.

She had tried to restrain herself, because compared to her previous life, there were far more base materials to choose from in this modern age.

She loved embroidery very much, and had trouble stopping once she started buying.

"I will earn money well, my wife."

Hearing her words, Huo Shao Ting, who was driving, spoke solemnly.

He was a married man now, and he had to provide for his wife.

He would buy whatever pleased her, as long as it made her happy.

In the future, he would also have to provide for their children, formula, diapers, and so on.

He really had to earn more money now.

Hearing him say this, Rong Dai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She turned her head and looked at him, "Shao Ting, when you say things like this, it puts pressure on me."

"You don't need to feel any pressure. I will earn the money for this family. You just spend it. You're my wife, and it's natural for me to provide for you," Huo Shao Ting replied earnestly, his handsome face serious.

Rong Dai smiled lightly. Seeing him extend a hand towards her, she naturally placed her palm in his.

His hands were long and slender, yet very warm.

"Shao Ting, I will be a good wife to you," she said solemnly, looking at his profile. He loved her so hard, she had to respond to him sincerely as well.

Huo Shao Ting gripped her hand tightly. Taking advantage of the red light, he turned to look at her, kissing the back of her hand while gazing at her with clear, earnest eyes.

He spoke gently, "For the rest of our lives, I'll be in your care, Mrs. Huo."

Rong Dai's heart began to pound. Her heart felt completely full.

The couple returned to their hotel room and spent a pleasant evening in Hangzhou before heading back to the studio city the next day.

After sending off Huo Shao Ting, Rong Dai made herself a cup of tea in the kitchen. She had just sat down to look over the script when her phone received a barrage of messages.

She opened it to see there were messages from Mei Shu and Qiao Wan Zhou.

After reading their messages, she replied to each before going online to check today's hot searches.

Sure enough, she was trending again.

Rong Dai felt very helpless. She only wanted to live her own life well, and did not want to be excessively scrutinized.

But she knew her wish was impossible to realize, at least for the time being.

The content of the hot search was very boring. The paparazzi had captured her and Huo Shao Ting's visit to the temple yesterday. 𝚏𝚛ee𝐰𝗲𝚋n𝐨𝘃𝗲l.𝐜𝐨m

They had only gone to fulfill a vow and ask the abbot for guidance.

But on the hot search it was written as if they had gone to pray for a child.

Asking for a child was one thing, but the malicious comments below were even worse.

Rong Dai was usually indifferent to such matters.

But Yang Wan Wan's incident had made her deeply reflect on herself. Now, although some netizens were blessing them, most of the comments were malicious.

Cursing that she would never have children was one thing, but some even cursed that she would miscarry even if she did get pregnant.

These words were more venomous than poison!

No wonder Mei Shu and Qiao Wan Zhou had been so worried.

It seemed her words that day were still unacceptable to many people.

She closed Weibo. This malice was too vicious. Although she had been an empress in her past life, seeing such words still angered her.

They could target her, but she didn't even have a child yet and they were already cursing her like this.

Rong Dai felt chilled inside.

She had just exited Weibo when the doorbell rang.

She opened the door to see Mei Shu lugging in piles of things.

"Sister-in-law, come help me, it's so heavy..."

Huo Mei Shu panted as she put the things down. After catching her breath, she went to the dining table for water before sitting down.

"Sister-in-law, did you and my brother really go to pray for a child yesterday?" Huo Mei Shu asked, looking up at her.

Rong Dai shook her head. "Just to fulfill a vow, even if we did pray for a child, I should be worshipping Guanyin, not Buddha. He doesn't handle things like this."

"That's right. You're separated from my brother right now, having a child isn't like planting vegetables. Those people online are bored and meddling. Don't take what they say to heart." Huo Mei Shu comforted her, and Rong Dai nodded.

Ignoring them was the most effective method. The more you engaged, the more arrogant and happy they were to curse.

Her time was precious, she didn't have so much time to waste on those people.

"That's right! Mom sent all this over from Shenyang, it's to nourish you. She bought it all herself."

Huo Mei Shu dragged the bags over and started taking out the contents.

"Bird's nest, ginseng, lingzhi, cordyceps..."

In just a few moments, the coffee table was filled. Rong Dai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she felt very warm inside.

"I told her that my brother has already prepared all this, but she just didn't believe it and had to buy it herself."

Huo Mei Shu looked at the overflowing coffee table and then at her somewhat stunned sister-in-law. She was also stunned.

If her sister-in-law ate all these supplements, wouldn't she become round as a ball?

"It's alright, between the two of us we can slowly finish it."

Rong Dai felt very helpless, but this was her mother-in-law's thoughtful gesture so she couldn't refuse.

Huo Mei Shu nodded, then looked at her with a smile.

Rong Dai was puzzled by this look in her sister-in-law's eyes.

"Sister-in-law, there's a concert tonight. Will you go with me?" Huo Mei Shu put her palms together pleadingly.
