The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 225

"It's the thought that counts, you work so hard filming, these things can also be bought when we're back in Shenjing," Lu Zheng said with a smile. But she was looking over the gifts as she spoke.

She herself came from a good background. Although she had gone through crises after marrying into the Huo family, in the end she still lived a comfortable, privileged life and had seen many nice things. At a glance, she could tell the quality of the gifts Rong Dai had chosen - she had really taken great care in selecting them.

What Lu Zheng valued wasn't how much money was spent. The Huo family certainly wasn't short on money. What mattered was that Rong Dai had this thoughtfulness.

"Alright, I'll try these slowly later. You're not feeling well, hurry and drink the soup, then go upstairs and rest early."

Lu Zheng drew her gaze back, urging her to hurry at the same time.

Rong Dai could hear the deeper meaning in her mother-in-law's words. Her ears grew hot all of a sudden, and she shot Huo Shao Ting a shy, annoyed glance.

If not for this guy, how could she be embarrassed in front of her mother-in-law?

"Now, your mother has been through this too, you just got married, it's understandable to miss each other after a short separation, but you still need to restrain yourselves," Lu Zheng said with a smile, admonishing the couple. Then she called Mrs. Wang over to help move the gifts into her room.

Rong Dai felt both embarrassed and annoyed. Her beautiful eyes flashed with charming anger as she glared at Huo Shao Ting. Only then did she obediently go back to drink the soup.

When she was filming at the movie studio, although a nutritionist prepared all her daily meals and the food tasted good, in order to maintain her figure, she couldn't eat many oily, heavy dishes. This pork belly and chicken soup was extremely delicious. She sipped it slowly with half-closed eyes, like a lazy little cat.

A smile played at the corners of Huo Shao Ting's handsome face. He took off his suit jacket and went into the kitchen to pour her a cup of warm water.

"If you like it, let Mrs. Wang make it again tomorrow. Eating too much at night will keep you from sleeping well."

His voice was gentle and doting, and even the way he looked at Rong Dai was full of tenderness.

Rong Dai made a little murmur like a cat towards him. She finished all the soup in the bowl, then took a sip of the warm water, finally satisfied.

Lu Zheng came downstairs and saw the loving couple. Her heart was completely at ease.

"Mrs. Wang, I also brought gifts for you and Uncle Li, I just don't know if they'll be to your taste."

Rong Dai got up again and with some effort dragged another suitcase over, taking out the gifts for Mrs. Wang and Uncle Li.

Lu Zheng watched to the side. Seeing Rong Dai's propriety towards others, she felt gratified.

"Thank you, ma'am!"

Mrs. Wang accepted them with a smile, eyes full of joy.

"Alright, it's getting late, hurry upstairs to rest."

Seeing that Rong Dai was forcing herself and looking exhausted, Lu Zheng swept a reproachful glance at Huo Shao Ting.

Rong Dai's ears burned red and her cheeks flushed hot again and again. She could only hurry to say yes and almost fled upstairs.

Knowing they were coming back, Mrs. Wang had thoughtfully changed the bedding for them.

Although not a bright red for newlyweds, the light pink was cozy and ambiguous.

As soon as she entered the bedroom, Rong Dai sat on the sofa and massaged her legs, completely miserable.

The price of indulgence was her legs suffering. Just walking a few steps made them sore and shaky.

Huo Shao Ting's eyes were deep. He leaned down to kiss her forehead and put the thermal flask he brought for her on the table.

"Rest a moment, I'll run you a bath. Soaking will make you feel better."

Rong Dai looked at him with eyes both pitiful and resentful, but could only nod helplessly in the end.

Seeing her become more and more natural with him, more willing to show her feminine side, Huo Shao Ting's heart softened.

His gaze swept over her long, straight legs. His Adam's apple moved and his eyes flashed with passion.

His wife's legs were nothing short of legendary.

When they were intimate, he had been restrained enough, afraid of hurting her. 𝗳r𝐞ew𝚎bn𝚘ve𝚕.c𝗼𝗺

"Mr. Huo, what are you thinking about?"

While massaging her legs, Rong Dai noticed Huo Shao Ting standing frozen there. Her internal alarms went off and she asked sharply.

Huo Shao Ting's mouth curved up slightly. He looked at her with exceptionally gentle eyes. "Thinking of you."

Rong Dai's face burned. She grabbed a pillow in embarrassment and threw it at him. "Huo Shao Ting!"

Seeing her shy anger, and her discomfort, he didn't continue teasing her. He turned to the bathroom to run her bathwater.

Only then did Rong Dai let out a long breath, and slapped her blazing hot cheeks.

She would never have dreamed that one day she would become so intimate with a man like this.

Listening to the water sounds from the bathroom, the corners of her lips curled up slightly. Her heart was warm and sweet.

While Huo Shao Ting was running her bath, she took out her phone to browse Weibo.

As soon as she opened Weibo, the message alerts flashed nonstop. Her phone nearly crashed!

Luckily she was familiar with these major social media platforms, having delved into them to understand this world. She quickly muted it and Weibo finally calmed down.

On Weibo, she had been flamed to a crisp!

The reason wasn't anything else - it was because the flight was delayed last night and she had been out of contact at the terminal for nearly an hour.

This news had undoubtedly gone viral.

But the online heroes were more inclined to focus on the image of her and Huo Shao Ting kissing.

"Shameless slut! With the entire flight hanging between life and death, she actually still shamelessly kissed in public! Truly shameless!"

"Just seeing this woman makes me nauseous now, especially her pretentious face! If you've climbed into a wealthy family, just obediently be a rich housewife! Must you come out to trend every three days? Please keep a low profile!"

"What a seductive whore! She just married into wealth, how long has it been? How many times has she trended already? Nothing good ever comes of it when she appears!"

"Maybe this flight going missing was her doing too?"

...

The comments went on endlessly, making Rong Dai's eyes swim.

She simply logged out of Weibo and rubbed her temples.

She hadn't expected that in a moment of losing control, she would bring such great condemnation onto herself.

The officials had already confirmed that the flight losing contact was due to weather conditions.

Yet all these murderous heroes insisted on pinning this huge crime on her!

From Zuo Ran, to Wen Shi Lan, and later Yang Wanwan, she couldn't even remember how many times she had trended.

And it was more vicious each time!

Although the Huo family was hugely wealthy and powerful, they weren't royalty who could cover the sky with one hand.

Huo Shao Ting's previous thunderous methods could only silence them for a time, not forever.

Because these people were deeply biased against her from the start.

Rong Dai understood very clearly what the reason was.

To these ordinary people, Huo Shao Ting was like an emperor, while she was just a commoner who had married into wealth relying solely on her looks.

In other words, in their eyes, she was someone with no background or abilities, and that was why they maliciously maligned her like this!
