"Take so ti to go to the hospital."
Rong Dai looked at herself in the mirror, concerned about the occasional dizziness she experienced. She felt a bit worried.
After talking to herself, she left the dressing room and went downstairs to the kitchen to see Huo Shao Ting cooking.
"It'll be ready in a little while."
When Rong Dai hugged him from behind, Huo Shao Ting turned around and smiled gently.
Rong Dai rested her chin on his shoulder, slling the aroma of the food, and her stomach couldn't help but protest.
"Do you need any help?"
She asked.
"Contribute your hands by hugging , that's enough."
Huo Shao Ting replied, his handso face focused on cooking.
Rong Dai's pretty cheeks lit up with a smile. She made a nasal sound from her nose and rested her head on his back, embracing his waist, feeling incredibly safe and warm.
The al was quickly served, and Rong Dai, whether due to her good mood or the delicious food cooked by Huo Shao Ting, ate two large bowls.
The consequence of eating too much was feeling incredibly full.
She drank tea to relieve the heaviness, while Huo Shao Ting changed into a suit and ca to her side. He bent down and kissed her cheek, saying, "I'm going to the company to handle so matters. Rest well at ho."
"If you want to go out, please take the bodyguard with you, okay?"
Rong Dai put down her teacup, turned around, and hugged him, looking apologetic in her eyes. "Did I delay your business trip this ti?"
He had ntioned the duration of the business trip before, which could be as short as half a month or as long as a month.
But he had only been gone for a short while when this incident happened to her, forcing him to co back.
She was aware of the crisis in the company because she had heard about it from her grandmother.
And this ti, he was dealing with sothing related to the planning of the second master Huo's family. Although he made it sound simple, she knew it wouldn't be as straightforward as he described.
"Everything's taken care of, don't worry."
Huo Shao Ting looked at her with an indulgent gaze. As long as he looked at her, a warm and indulgent smile always graced his handso face.
"Trust your husband's abilities. If you're tired, go and rest. Don't overthink about other matters when you have your husband around, alright?"
Rong Dai's heart ward, and after seeing the ti on the wall clock, she stood on tiptoe and kissed his thin lips. "I'll be waiting for you at ho."
Huo Shao Ting responded, and then he left.
After watching him leave, Rong Dai turned back to the living room and picked up the new phone that Huo Shao Ting had given her to browse through.
All the photos she had taken were copied onto it, and after looking at a few of them, she rembered that she needed to call her mother-in-law.
Lu Zheng had indeed been quite frightened these past few days. After all, it hadn't been long since the incident with Zuo Ran, and now she had been kidnapped!
When Lu Zheng found the person and brought them back last night, she had contemplated coming over to see her, but her son didn't allow it. After learning about the situation, she didn't insist anymore.
When she received a call from Rong Dai, she imdiately answered.
Rong Dai first reported that she was safe, and then she criticized herself.
Seeing Rong Dai's sensible behavior, Lu Zheng couldn't bring herself to scold her anymore. She reminded her to be more careful when going out in the future and preferably bring a bodyguard along.
"Thank you, Mom. I will be careful from now on."
Rong Dai obediently responded, as she, being a woman herself, naturally understood so of the vulnerabilities won have.
Mother-in-law Lu Zheng was a person who spoke harshly but had a soft heart. As long as Rong Dai maintained the right attitude, Lu Zheng wouldn't argue with her or scold her, and thus, conflicts would naturally be avoided.
"As long as you know, dear. Whenever you have ti, co back with Shaoting for a al. Your grandmother hasn't been sleeping well these past few days."
Lu Zheng instructed her.
Rong Dai acknowledged each request and, towards the end, suddenly asked, "Mom, do you know of any good gynecology hospitals? I... have been unable to conceive, and I'm a bit worried."
"If Mom knows of any good hospitals, I'll recomnd them to you. I'll go for a check-up myself. If there's any minor issue, I'll address it promptly."
Lu Zheng was surprised by her question.
After all, tis had changed, and most married won were strongly against being pressured to have children.
Although she was also anxious about this matter, she refrained from asking too much.
What use would it be for a mother-in-law to worry about such things?
If her own son wasn't making an effort or had issues himself, how could Rong Dai bear a child alone?
But she hadn't expected Rong Dai to ask her proactively and also show great concern about this matter.
Lu Zheng instantly smiled, and even her tone softened significantly as she spoke, "Mom will have to check and see. Once we find out, I'll accompany you, alright?"
"Thank you for your trouble, Mom."
Rong Dai obediently replied, and the tension between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was instantly relieved.
Lu Zheng gave her so instructions, and Rong Dai patiently listened to all of them.
She hung up only after Lu Zheng ntioned having sothing else to attend to.
Rong Dai's mouth felt a bit dry, so she finished the red tea in her cup. Just as she was about to go online and catch up on the news from the past few days, she received a call from Lu Nianzhi.
"Sister Nianzhi."
Without hesitation, she answered the call.
On the other end of the line, Lu Nianzhi lowered her voice and asked, "Rong Dai, is Mr. Huo still at ho?"
These past few days, Lu Nianzhi had been restless. Although she had found Rong Dai and confird that she was safe last night, her guilt hadn't diminished. She wanted to have a proper conversation with Rong Dai.
"He went to the company. If you have the ti, Sister Nianzhi, it would be great if you could co over to my place. There are so things I'd like to ask you."
Rong Dai replied in a gentle voice.
She was too tired and sleepy on the helicopter last night, so she didn't say much to Lu Nianzhi.
But she knew that Lu Nianzhi must have been extrely worried these past few days!
"I'll co right away!"
Upon hearing Rong Dai's words, Lu Nianzhi imdiately perked up. She put on her coat and shoes while speaking.
Fifteen minutes later, Lu Nianzhi arrived at Rong Dai's house, carrying a bunch of things in her hands.
Rong Dai looked carefully and realized that they were the items they had bought together while shopping that day.
"Sister Nianzhi, did you take too much? These things weren't the ones I bought."
She noticed that there were two pieces of luxury jewelry that she hadn't purchased, so she pointed them out separately.
Lu Nianzhi quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, this is for you! I'm giving it to you! If you don't accept it, I'll feel guilty and won't be able to assist you properly at work."
Rong Dai looked at the two luxury items. She rembered that she had only comnted on their appearance when she saw them in the shop window that day, but she didn't expect Lu Nianzhi not only rembered but also bought them for her.
"Nianzhi, it's not your fault, actually. Even if it wasn't that day, the other party would have chosen another day to strike. It was my carelessness that caused it."
"You don't need to bla yourself or feel guilty. If anyone should be buying gifts, it should be giving them to you."
"If it weren't for your help during this period, I don't know what chaos and confusion I would have faced! This matter has already passed, so you don't need to worry about it or put pressure on yourself."
"Otherwise, if you keep dwelling on this matter, I won't be able to focus on our collaboration. Working with you is comfortable, and I don't want to lose such a compatible partner like you!"
Rong Dai smiled lightly and spoke sincerely, her gaze towards Lu Nianzhi particularly genuine.
