The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 242

However, the original owner's designs were mostly inclined towards the dark and avant-garde styles, possibly due to their environment and personality.

These designs deviated significantly from her own aesthetic, so she merely glanced at those drafts before storing them away in a drawer.

The original owner had distinct design traits, perhaps because design itself served as an outlet for her emotions, making her designs exceptional.

However, it was quite difficult for the original owner's designs to make it to grand stages like TK's fashion show.

Nevertheless, Song Xuechun and Liang Jiayi admired the original owner, which was probably influenced by their own environment.

These two individuals appeared obedient and well-behaved, while the original owner's design drafts were rebellious and expressive, showcasing a unique personality.

Designs of this kind, if seen by parents, would only be labeled as rebellious acts.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that despite some people appreciating the original owner, she couldn't gain the majority's recognition.

Being denied and isolated because of her appearance, living in such an environment, the original owner's life was undoubtedly oppressive, and she had no power to resist.

So, when facing friends like Song Xuechun and Liang Jiayi, the original owner instinctively resisted and kept her guard up.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have only doctors and nurses around her when she opened her eyes in this parallel world.

However, such experiences made things easier for the original owner, avoiding questions about her transformation.

"But Dai'er, you didn't inform Senior He when you got married. He even asked us a few days ago if we had your contact information."

"Senior He has been pursuing you since you entered school. It's been two years, and you've been neither hot nor cold towards him. Suddenly getting married like this, if you don't tell him, I'm afraid your days at school won't be pleasant..."

Liang Jiayi rubbed her hands, sounding a bit anxious.

Rong Dai subtly raised an eyebrow, naturally having no recollection of the Senior He mentioned by Liang Jiayi.

However, her striking appearance was a force to be reckoned with.

As the saying goes, beauty can topple kingdoms. It was within her expectations that the original owner would have male admirers.

But it seemed she didn't need to explain anything, right? After all, since the original owner had been neither hot nor cold towards this Senior He for two years, she had nothing to explain.

Therefore, she shook her head and said, "I don't like him, and he pursued me for two years without success. My attitude has been clear enough."

"My marriage is my private matter, and he is just a classmate to me. I don't need to explain anything to him. So, until I return to school, please don't give my contact information to anyone. I don't want to be disturbed."

Her words were sincere and gentle, yet resolute and sharp.

Song Xuechun nodded along with Liang Jiayi, but Liang Jiayi couldn't help but sigh, "Senior He is quite popular among girls at school. I'm afraid when you return, you'll face many attacks. Besides, Yao Shilin really likes Senior He."

Rong Dai naturally understood what awaited her upon returning to school, but she wasn't afraid or worried.

"That's their own business; it has nothing to do with me."

Seeing her response, Song Xuechun and Huo Shao Ting exchanged a glance, feeling a bit helpless. Dai'er completely missed the point of their conversation.

The three of them conversed in the coffee shop for nearly three hours, until the darkness of night descended. It was only when Huo Shao Ting, with his elegant stride, entered the scene that their conversation came to an end.

"This is Song Xuechun and Liang Jiayi, both my classmates," Rong Dai introduced them. Huo Shao Ting, with his handsome face and gentle expression, glanced at the two and nodded slightly, considering it as a greeting.

"Put on your clothes. It's a bit cold today. I brought you an extra one, but you insisted on not wearing it," Huo Shao Ting disregarded her two classmates and personally draped Rong Dai in a double-sided cashmere coat.

Although there was a hint of reproach in his words, it was predominantly indulgent.

Song Xuechun and Liang Jiayi immediately became nervous and uneasy, standing up along with Rong Dai, somewhat at a loss as they looked at the couple.

They were astonished to see Huo Shao Ting, this handsome man, being so considerate and putting a coat on her. After all, he was the emperor of Shengjing!

Rumors depicted him as cold and heartless, and despite his multi-billion-dollar net worth, he remained chaste, never being seen with any woman.

Who could have imagined that these two individuals, who were originally on parallel paths with no chance of intersecting in their lifetimes, would actually come together? Moreover, it seemed that Huo Shao Ting doted on Rong Dai.

"Thank you for accompanying Rong Dai this afternoon. I kept her waiting due to work matters. I've paid for your bills at the shop. Now, I'll take her back. Please excuse us," Huo Shao Ting said, his gaze shifting to them after ensuring Rong Dai was wrapped up securely.

Although his tone was calm, it exuded a coldness that made it difficult for people to approach him.

It was entirely different from how he spoke to Rong Dai.

He was well aware of the people around Rong Dai, including the former associates of the original host. He had conducted a thorough investigation.

Although there didn't appear to be any issues with the two individuals before him, he didn't want his wife to be involved in any crisis.

Song Xuechun and Liang Jiayi were already tense, and even though Huo Shao Ting's words were polite, their hearts couldn't help but beat nervously.

"Um, well... We should probably head back to school now. We can make plans with Dai'er some other time." Liang Jiayi stuttered anxiously, not even knowing where to direct her gaze. She quickly looked at Rong Dai and urged Song Xuechun to leave the coffee shop together.

The two hurriedly left the coffee shop, and only after breathing in the chilling air outside did they finally release a sigh of relief, clutching their chests.

"Oh my goodness! That was so scary! He truly deserves to be called the emperor of Shengjing. His presence... I can't handle it!" Song Xuechun exclaimed dramatically, patting her own chest.

Liang Jiayi nodded along, "But it seems like Huo Shao Ting treats Dai'er well, and that's already quite good. After all, not everyone can handle the challenges of an affluent family. Now, can you relax? Although when Dai'er returns to school, I suppose her days there won't be easy..."

The two walked hand in hand, sometimes sighing lightly and sometimes expressing concern as they made their way back to school.

Rong Dai couldn't help but find the situation a bit amusing, but she understood Huo Shao Ting's concerns.

He knew about her past and was worried that the people around the original owner would notice her flaws and raise suspicions.

However, she had nothing to fear now.

Even if she were to speak up, she needed someone to believe her, but most people would probably just think she was crazy.

"In fact, they are quite nice. Thanks to them, I found out that there were senior students who liked me back when I was in school."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Rong Dai mischievously spoke up, her eyes smiling as she stared at Huo Shao Ting, waiting for his reaction.

Huo Shao Ting had one hand on the steering wheel while the other reached over to hold her delicate and fragile hand.

During a red light, he turned to look at her, speaking with a serious tone and a hint of dominance, "Well, he doesn't have a chance anymore. The only chance has already been taken by me."

A smile appeared on Rong Dai's beautiful cheek, and in her heart, it felt as if she was enveloped in a layer of honey-like sweetness.

Yes, this one and only chance belonged to him.
