The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 280

Rong Dai suddenly burst into tears, disregarding everything as she struggled to stand up from under the rock. However, her legs were numb from being curled up, and she stumbled as she tried to stand steadily, instantly scraping her palms on the sharp pebbles!

But Rong Dai didn't care about any of that. She was so agitated and nervous that her whole body was shaking!

She hurriedly took out her phone, turned on the flashlight, and waved it above her head!

"Madam is over there, President Huo!"

Zhang Assistant was in the co-pilot seat with Huo Shao Ting. Because it was nighttime, Rong Dai's phone flashlight was bright enough to be easily noticeable.

Huo Shao Ting had a cold and solemn expression, with stubble grown on his chin and bloodshot eyes.

He naturally saw it too.

Seeing her alone, tied up here in these steep mountains, she must have been scared out of her wits these past few days and certainly suffered greatly.

His heart felt like it was being viciously stabbed with needles, and his heart was like it had seven or eight huge holes leaking air, throbbing painfully!

Huo Shao Ting held the control stick and gradually decreased the helicopter's altitude.

The huge noise from the helicopter startled the birds and beasts in the deep woods. The two men who had been lurking around looking for Rong Dai also heard the sound.

When the two men saw the helicopters appear, their faces changed drastically!

The two men quickly turned off their flashlights and snuck into the woods to observe. They naturally also saw Rong Dai waving her phone flashlight.

"Damn it! That woman was right under our feet earlier!"

The two men were extremely furious, but didn't dare come out now. They could only gnash their teeth in hatred!

Although the surroundings were steep mountains, the three-way fork in the road was a dirt road that was very flat. Both helicopters landed smoothly.

When Rong Dai saw the man she had been longing for day and night appear, her tears flowed like a burst dam, streaming down her face!

She desperately wanted to call out his name, but no sound came out of her throat, and her legs felt as heavy as lead.

She could only cry while waving her phone flashlight around like an idiot.

Huo Shao Ting got out of the helicopter and immediately sprinted toward that bright light!

It was because he hadn't protected her well, allowing her to be frightened over and over again.

"Wife..."

He ran up to Rong Dai, breathing heavily, but his voice was exceptionally gentle, and a little self-reproachful.

Seeing Rong Dai with tears running down her slightly haggard face, he felt like his heart was being sliced!

He stepped forward and pulled her into his embrace, not bothered by her stench. He kissed her hair.

"I'm sorry, I came late..."

If she hadn't been so clever, he didn't dare imagine what would have happened.

He had almost lost her...

Just thinking about it made him unable to breathe from heartache!

Rong Dai was pressed tightly against his chest. Her once restless heart was now like a small boat that had returned to a safe harbor.

She cried mournfully, her beautiful eyes red and swollen.

"Shao Ting, I, I almost didn't get to see you again..."

Rong Dai sobbed as she spoke, her tone full of grievance.

She had never imagined that she would have such a fragile side, that she would actually be scared to tears like this.

But she just couldn't control herself. Seeing the man she had been desperately thinking of appear, she simply couldn't hold it in!

"That won't happen, I'm here. Your husband is right here."

Huo Shao Ting held her tightly, practically stuffing her into his embrace.

Rong Dai cried like a wronged little girl, an emotion she would absolutely never show normally.

The short few days of this experience felt as long as a century.

She had figured out many, many things.

She was Huo Shao Ting's wife, his woman, and he was her husband.

So what if she was being a bit oversentimental?

Because Huo Shao Ting gave her warmth, love, stability and security.

So she was also willing to "let go" of herself, no longer wanting any restraints.

In the world between her and Huo Shao Ting, she would forever be a favored princess.

"I, I want to go home."

Rong Dai looked up at him, barely managing to stop her crying, though she couldn't make her hiccups stop.

Huo Shao Ting held her as he gazed at her, lowering his eyes. He kissed her lips, then slowly kissed away the tear streaks on her cheeks.

He had to remember this agonizing pain and fright, so he would learn his lesson, would understand how to protect her.

Rong Dai looked at him like this as her heart gradually calmed down.

"We'll go home."

Huo Shao Ting said softly and lifted her in his arms.

Rong Dai nodded. Her head nestled against him securely as her arms wrapped around his neck.

"You're hurt?"

Huo Shao Ting smelled blood and his brow immediately furrowed!

Only then did Rong Dai notice her still bleeding hand.

"I fell earlier. It will be fine after I wash up when we get back."

Huo Shao Ting strengthened his hold on her, as his lips drew into a tight line. He quickened his pace back to the helicopter.

It was only at that moment that Zhang Assistant, Lu Hong, and Lu Nianzhi caught up. Seeing Rong Dai with bloody hands shocked them all!

But the three were very tactful and dared not speak up.

After all, Rong Dai's hands were priceless, and Huo Shao Ting's expression was murderous. His appearance alone was chilling!

Huo Shao Ting also ignored the three. He swiftly reached the helicopter with Rong Dai in his arms, and assisted her up into the helicopter. His icy gaze swept across Zhang Assistant. "You're driving."

Zhang Assistant dared not hesitate as he scrambled onto the helicopter.

Once on board the helicopter, Rong Dai finally gradually collected her thoughts. She turned to Lu Hong.

"If you don't mind, search along the woods on both sides of these two roads. There were two men lurking around trying to find me earlier."

Lu Hong's face darkened. He immediately directed two armed police officers to search.

"President Huo, you guys head back first. We'll take care of things over here."

Lu Hong could see Huo Shao Ting's displeasure and promptly opened his mouth to speak.

"I, I'll go with you guys."

Lu Nianzhi had lost her appetite these past days from anxiety. Finally seeing Rong Dai safe and sound, she felt her heart settle at last.

"Sorry, Sister Nianzhi, to have made you worry."

Rong Dai's gaze fell upon Lu Nianzhi's haggard face. Seeing that she was even more worn out than herself, Rong Dai knew that she must have been scared these past few days too.

"As long as you're alright, it was my failure..."

"Quiet or you're walking home yourself."

Before Lu Nianzhi could finish speaking, Huo Shao Ting interjected coldly.

Rong Dai gave an apologetic look to Lu Nianzhi.

Lu Nianzhi was merely her assistant, not her personal bodyguard.

Besides, it wasn't her job to watch over Rong Dai 24/7 either.

The fault lay entirely with those malicious people without consciences!

Soon after, the helicopter rotor made a huge noise as the aircraft slowly left the ground, flying towards Shengjing.

Once the helicopter climbed to a stable cruising altitude, Huo Shao Ting got out the first aid kit to treat the wounds on Rong Dai's hands.
