Chapter 213

The next day, the winter sun was at its most beautiful, adding a touch of softness to the desolate winter.

When Rong Dai woke up, her whole body ached. Thinking back to Huo Shao Ting's passion and madness last night, she couldn't help but tremble all over.

She thought that as their feelings grew deeper, this passion would turn into a gentle, lasting affection.

But every time she was with him, the pounding of her heart was still like the very first time.

And his passion grew more and more intense each time.

The other side of the bed was already empty. She glanced at the time - it was almost nine o'clock already.

Rong Dai hurriedly climbed out of bed to wash up. She was halfway through washing when Huo Shao Ting came in.

"Do you want to sleep a little longer? You've been a bit tired lately."

Huo Shao Ting put his arms around her waist from behind, looking at their close reflections in the mirror. His voice was gentle as he asked.

No one knew her body better than him.

"It's probably because I've had a lot of action scenes to shoot lately. Don't worry, I'll rest well for a while after filming wraps up."

Rong Dai shook her head. She didn't have that many scenes now.

She had seen the shooting schedule. At most there were only five scenes a day.

She wasn't a full-time entertainer, so her workload was much more relaxed.

Huo Shao Ting murmured in acknowledgment and kissed her earlobe, instructing her that breakfast was ready before leaving.

After Rong Dai had washed up and come out, she saw a sumptuous yet nutritious breakfast on the dining table.

Seeing that Huo Shao Ting still had an apron tied around his waist, and thinking of his serious and stern manner when handling work in the office, compared to his gentle, domestic appearance now, the difference was simply huge.

This man had given all his tenderness to her.

She had let go of the arrogance in her bones from her past life. He was her husband.

Here, she could freely express her feelings as she wished.

She didn't want to restrain herself. Some things, some realizations, perhaps only came in a fleeting moment.

If she suppressed them and didn't express them, perhaps when she wanted to feel that way again, it wouldn't be the original feeling anymore.

Love needed to be expressed in a timely manner.

Sometimes if you missed the chance, it would be missed for a lifetime.

"Thank you, Shao Ting."

She went up and put her arms around his waist, not bothered by the smell of oil and smoke on him, and leaned her head against his chest. Her voice was soft and tender as she spoke.

She still wasn't used to calling him "husband".

But Huo Shao Ting didn't mind either. Hearing her call him that word at a certain moment would probably feel even more wonderful.

He looked down at her with a smile on his handsome face, and his voice was exceptionally gentle. "Eat breakfast first, or else I'll eat you first..."

Rong Dai's heart had been full of softness, but hearing him say this, the image of herself from last night, weeping and begging for mercy, rose in her mind. She glared resentfully at him and sat down at the dining table.

Huo Shao Ting looked at her indulgently and smiled, thoughtfully serving her porridge.

The husband and wife had their playful breakfast, and the morning passed by quickly.

Huo Shao Ting was taking a noon flight back. After sending him off, Rong Dai felt empty inside.

That feeling of having nowhere to put herself made her feel very lost. Only when he was by her side did she feel grounded and at ease.

But she still had work. Taking a deep breath, she adjusted her state of mind and went back to the apartment.

Glancing at the clock on the wall, she went to the kitchen to make tea. She had just set it down on the coffee table when the doorbell rang.

Lu Nianzhi was still in her stylish, professional attire, looking cool and capable.

"Have some tea first."

Rong Dai motioned for her to drink tea, while she went to get the plan she had made last night and looked through it carefully before handing it to Lu Nianzhi.

"Sister Nianzhi, this is the plan I made. Take a look first, and we can discuss it."

Lu Nianzhi looked at her in surprise. After all, Rong Dai had never called her "Sister Nianzhi" before.

Rong Dai had a faint smile on her charming face. Lu Nianzhi was family, she didn't need to be overly polite.

Besides, she believed in Lu Nianzhi's professionalism.

Lu Nianzhi nodded, put down her teacup, and looked carefully at the plan Rong Dai had given.

When she saw the time allocated for learning, she couldn't help frowning slightly. She was a little worried about such a packed learning schedule.

Learning wasn't about gaining something proportional to the amount of time spent.

Rather, it was about absorbing knowledge efficiently. Otherwise, no matter how much time was spent, the gains wouldn't be directly proportional.

She didn't bring it up immediately, and continued looking through Rong Dai's plan.

When she saw the planning and design for the studio, approval showed in her eyes.

She had encountered many extremely demanding employers before, although some had listened to her opinions, the vast majority had insisted on their own views.

After all, her profession was very rare, it was normal not to believe her.

But she had just finished analyzing with Rong Dai the day before yesterday, and today she had already made adjustments.

Seeing that Lu Nianzhi had basically finished reading it, Rong Dai spoke up, "Yesterday Shao Ting and I went to tour the factory. I feel I need to make some adjustments."

"I have to be clear about the gap between dreams and reality. For the planning of the studio, I agree with your opinion. I'll have to trouble you to prepare a report for me as soon as possible."

Lu Nianzhi nodded and clipped the plan into her folder.

"There are no problems with the career planning. And as I told you, maintain your popularity."

She looked at Rong Dai, her gaze very serious.

Whether in looks or figure, Rong Dai was outstanding.

"I'll quickly do my homework on fashion. Since you don't want to be involved in the entertainment industry, just dabble halfway, so you can maintain a level of popularity at any time."

"Your image is great. I did some research yesterday, take a look first."

As she spoke, Lu Nianzhi handed her a printed document.

"Like runway modeling, shooting fashion magazines - these are all very hot topics, and they're all linked to fashion."

"The entertainment industry is indeed complex, but we can find other ways in. I do know some editors-in-chief of internationally popular fashion magazines, I'm still contacting domestic ones."

"These will be very helpful for the career you want to develop. For example, The Beauty of the East in China, BE for short, is a domestic runway show of relatively high calibre."

"BE is connected to many major international fashion brands, like TK, AngelNasha etc. The magazines published for each show are of very high calibre.

"If we can get collaborations with these shows, break through the domestic barriers, it will be much easier. The reason I want you to maintain your popularity is because you already have topicality and traffic."

"You yourself are already a hot topic. As long as you maintain this balance well, it's the biggest promotion for your work. Lu Nianzhi patiently explained to her.
