Rong Dai saw that she was anxious and sighed softly in her heart. The young lady of today was so similar to her former self in her previous life.
"Shao Ting, it's okay. There's Shao Jie in the crew, and Mei Shu knows more than I do, so she just needs to work a little harder."
Rong Dai still couldn't help but chime in. She understood too well the feeling of silent torment.
Moreover, although she had gradually accepted everything new here recently, there were still some things she didn't understand.
The young lady was born and raised in this era. She knew more than Rong Dai did.
There were some things Rong Dai couldn't ask others about. Having the young lady by her side would make her feel more at ease.
Huo Mei Shu looked at her gratefully and hurriedly nodded.
Huo Shao Ting gazed at Huo Mei Shu. A few seconds later, he uttered: "Convince mom yourself first."
Huo Mei Shu's face instantly collapsed. Given what had just happened, it would be a miracle if mom agreed.
But she had her ways!
After the concert ended, their family unusually dined out. They even had a video call with Mrs. Huo before dinner.
"I'll take you somewhere."
After dinner, Huo Shao Ting put his arms around her slender waist from behind and gently said.
"Where to?" Rong Dai very much enjoyed the time together with him. Huo Shao Ting's thoughtfulness and meticulousness made her feel very reassured.
"You'll know when you get there."
Huo Shao Ting didn't reveal it. He lowered his head and kissed her earlobe, then led her out and into the elevator.
"Sister-in-law, where are you guys going?"
Seeing the couple leave, Huo Mei Shu asked, but was frightened into silence by Huo Shao Ting's icy stare!
Huo Shao Ting took her to the rooftop of the hotel. Despite it being almost the end of September, Corlin's heat persisted even at night.
The rooftop of the hotel was decorated very cozily, with flowers, candles, and star-shaped lights entwined around the trellises.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine red roses were surrounded by candlelight, and the sultry air was full of floral fragrance.
"Do you like it?"
Huo Shao Ting let go of her hand and walked to the other end of the red roses to ask her.
Rong Dai's heart pounded rapidly. She looked at him in surprise, her cheeks flushed, and nodded.
Stripped of all glory, she was just an ordinary woman who also longed for her husband's care.
In her previous life, her heart had lacked. But in this life, Huo Shao Ting had satisfied her in every way.
Her eyes grew a little moist. The vibrant fiery roses set her heart ablaze. She had never experienced being cherished so much by someone.
Huo Shao Ting really loved her wholeheartedly.
"Thank you, Shao Ting. This is...this is the first time someone has done this for me."
Her voice was a little choked up.
The past was gradually fading in her mind, but Huo Shao Ting's feelings were real.
"Rong Dai, will you be my wife?"
Huo Shao Ting suddenly knelt down on one knee and took out a diamond ring from his pocket.
The beautiful diamond reflected a dazzling brilliance in the candlelight.
Rong Dai was stunned, looking at him with somewhat blank eyes.
Seeing the pigeon egg-sized diamond ring, her heart pounded rapidly!
Joy spread from her heart and permeated every cell of her being!
Although she and Huo Shao Ting were already together, this meant something different to her.
Although she hadn't told Huo Shao Ting about her previous life in words, he knew.
She also understood his meaning.
Amidst the joy, she was deeply moved. Her nose tingled and her eyes involuntarily reddened.
She looked at the calm, wise man before her in the candlelight. He wasn't just anyone, he was her husband.
The man who would spend his entire life with her.
"Sister-in-law, hurry up and say yes!"
Not knowing where she had popped up from, Huo Mei Shu was holding up her phone to film this. Seeing Rong Dai hesitate to answer, she was the one getting anxious first!
Rong Dai's ears instantly grew hot. She looked at Huo Shao Ting tenderly, then walked over to him. She held out her left hand.
"I do."
The moment those words left her mouth, Rong Dai felt her life was complete!
As the cool, heavy diamond ring slid onto her ring finger, she felt his warmth in her palm. Her eyes involuntarily reddened.
In her previous life, she was a noble and arrogant empress. Nothing was allowed to make her bow her proud head.
Her identity as empress was like shackles, tightly confining her.
She couldn't feel the emperor's love but had to manage everything in the harem for him, devoting all of herself to him.
Yet in this life, she had yet to give anything, but had already received all of Huo Shao Ting's tenderness.
"Big brother, isn't this..."
Huo Mei Shu ran over with her phone. Seeing the diamond ring on Rong Dai's hand, she looked at him in shock and began to speak.
But she was frightened into silence by his piercing gaze before finishing her sentence!
"What's wrong with this ring?" Rong Dai asked in puzzlement.
"I bought this with the first money I earned. It has special meaning to me. Using it as an engagement ring now is perfect." Huo Shao Ting explained himself, his gaze at her full of soft colors.
Rong Dai suddenly felt the ring on her finger weigh a thousand pounds. She looked at Huo Shao Ting with a resolute gaze, "I'll take good care of it. You've given it to me, so there's no taking it back."
Huo Shao Ting smiled lightly. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, staring sharply at Huo Mei Shu, who very tactfully ran back down.
Huo Mei Shu happily showed the video she had taken to Lady Lu Zheng, touting the benefits of her becoming Rong Dai's agent.
Upstairs, Rong Dai leaned against Huo Shao Ting. Her whole body felt as soft as a ball of cotton.
Bang bang bang!
Suddenly the sky was filled with many dazzling fireworks. Rong Dai was startled and quickly looked up. She was instantly stunned.
The brilliant fireworks lit up almost the entire Corlin sky.
The nearly fifteen-minute long fireworks finally formed several large words: I love you, Rong Dai.
Rong Dai's cheeks burned hotly. She hadn't expected this man to express his feelings so vigorously.
"I can do a lot of silly things as long as you like them," Huo Shao Ting whispered in her ear, his voice mellow and seductive.
He just wanted her to know his feelings.
Rong Dai felt her spine tingle again and again, her palms sweating again and again. Her cheeks burned and her heart pounded as if about to jump out of her throat!
If a man had said such things to her in her previous life, she would have only found him frivolous.
But it was different here. She knew Huo Shao Ting was a man of action who liked to say things and act on them.
She could understand his feelings. He just wanted her to feel assured and at ease.
"Thank you, Shao Ting."
She looked at his face slightly tilted, recalling the time when she had first arrived. She had never imagined she would intersect with Huo Shao Ting this way, and that their feelings would have developed to such an indescribable depth.
