The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 221

Luckily, it was already late at night, and there were not so many vehicles on the street. Huo Shao Ting almost ran through all the red lights to get to the airport.

Zhang, his assistant, followed him all the way, making all the arrangements for him, so when Huo Shao Ting arrived at the airport, he was immediately taken to the VIP lounge.

"What exactly happened with the plane?"

Seeing the person in charge of the terminal come out, Huo Shao Ting asked directly. His voice was trembling.

"My wife is on that plane. I have the right to know what happened!"

His voice contained panic, and his handsome face was a little pale.

The person in charge was frightened by his aura and didn't even dare to breathe.

"Mrs. Huo was on a flight that lost contact with the control tower due to weather conditions. We are doing our best to reestablish contact. Mr. Huo, please calm down and wait here."

That was all the person in charge could say. None of them had expected something like this to happen on an ordinary flight.

Based on the time, the plane should have been in the skies above Shengjing by now.

But Shengjing had seen light snow for days, so flight disruptions were normal.

Huo Shao Ting secretly took a deep breath and punched the wall, tightly gripping the tablet in his hand until cracks appeared on the screen.

The person in charge wanted to say more but didn't dare. Huo Shao Ting was emitting an icy, sinister aura.

"I'll wait here. Inform me immediately if there is any news."

He looked up and stared at the person in charge. His voice was very low.

The person in charge nodded and gestured for his staff to bring over hot water, before hurrying off to work.

When Zhang the assistant arrived at the airport after dealing with Huo Shao Ting's traffic violations, he saw Huo Shao Ting sitting there stony-faced with his eyebrows knitted together, like a statue.

Zhang glanced at the time. It was 2:15 in the morning. Based on Mrs. Huo's flight information, the plane should have landed safely by now.

But apart from the beeping of the equipment, there was no roar of airplane engines in the terminal.

He didn't dare approach Huo Shao Ting, only looking at the light snow outside the terminal, praying in his heart.

Praying the plane was safe and sound, praying his boss's wife would reach the ground safely.

Otherwise, he didn't dare imagine what his boss would become.

Zhang stood silently to one side, stealing glances at Huo Shao Ting from time to time.

Huo Shao Ting was extremely gloomy, emitting an icy, sinister aura. He was just short of hanging a "Keep Out" sign on his chest.

Time passed second by second. Until 3 in the morning, there was still no news.

Cold sweat broke out on Zhang's forehead.

It had been so long without any news...

He looked at Huo Shao Ting, took out his phone and browsed the news. If something really happened to the plane, it would be reported immediately.

Luckily Weibo was peaceful, with only news about some minor celebrity still trending.

Looking at the calm Weibo with no updates from the terminal, Zhang also broke into a cold sweat.

If this happened on land, the boss would still have some options.

But in the sky, only a deity's intervention could save the day. Otherwise, even the boss was powerless.

"Contact established!"

Someone suddenly ran out from the terminal and said. Huo Shao Ting immediately stood up, gaze fixed on the airport.

"The flight Mrs. Huo was on experienced severe turbulence due to weather conditions, resulting in brief loss of contact."

"However, the flight crew were highly professional and have now guided the aircraft out of the dangerous zone. The flight path has been replanned and the plane is estimated to land in thirty minutes."

Upon hearing the news from the person in charge, not just Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. The knot in Huo Shao Ting's heart finally loosened.

The nearly two hours of torment felt like he had taken a trip to hell and back.

Seeing the plane touch down and taxi smoothly, he finally unclenched his fists. His first action was to go to the arrival gate to receive Rong Dai.

When Rong Dai and Lu Nianzhi disembarked, the two were still holding each other's hands tightly. Having just survived a life-threatening situation, they finally felt relief when their feet touched the ground.

Nearly an hour of continuous violent shaking, panic, fainting, Rong Dai was certain she wouldn't make it out alive this time.

But when they finally reached land, she realized how terribly afraid she was of death.

She was afraid she would never see Huo Shao Ting again, never lean against his sturdy chest, never hear his voice again.

"It's over."

It took Lu Nianzhi a long time to squeeze out those words. Due to the turbulence, both their heads were badly knocked around and looked a little disheveled.

The other passengers who took the flight all had their hands over their chests, breathing heavily, grateful to have survived.

Rong Dai nodded and leaned on Lu Nianzhi for support as they slowly made their way out.

Her legs felt a little weak. Supporting each other, the two walked slower than the other passengers.

"The boss is here, I should get going."

Lu Nianzhi was still reeling from the shock. Seeing Huo Shao Ting approach, she let go of Rong Dai's hand.

"Get some rest when you're home. I'll contact you when I'm better."

Rong Dai nodded, watching as Lu Nianzhi left before looking towards Huo Shao Ting.

"Shao..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was enveloped in his warm embrace, her mouth covered by his.

Her heart trembled. She had just survived a life-and-death trial.

Normally she would have rejected such intimate contact in public.

But she saw the worry, anxiety and fear in his eyes.

She didn't struggle, hugging Huo Shao Ting tightly around the waist, passionately responding to his kiss.

Although it was a close shave, the experience made both of them understand their hearts clearly.

Rong Dai knew she could never leave this man.

He was her destiny.

And she wanted to protect this destiny with all her might.

One passionate kiss was all it took for Rong Dai's heart to finally calm down.

She looked at Huo Shao Ting closely, holding him tightly around the waist. Though she said nothing, Huo Shao Ting understood everything.

"Let's go home."

Huo Shao Ting's voice was rich and gentle. Reaching out, he scooped her up in his arms.

Rong Dai had her arms around his neck, gazing at the face she had been longing for day and night.

At this moment, her heart was warm, fulfilled.

On the turbulent plane, she had fainted and awakened, with only Huo Shao Ting in her mind and heart. She only wanted to return to his side.

In that instant, she realized she could no longer leave Huo Shao Ting.
