"Wear this."
After passing two red lights, Huo Shao Ting took out a silk eye mask and handed it to her.
Rong Dai looked at the eye mask and frowned slightly: "What is this for? So mysterious."
Although she said that, her actions were very obedient. She took the eye mask and put it on.
Deep down, she had been looking forward to what Huo Shao Ting had told her before, to spend the new year together with him.
She also wanted to know what kind of surprise he would arrange for her, to make their first new year of being together more meaningful.
She had also prepared a gift for him, but she wanted to wait and see what new year's gift he had for her first.
"You'll know when we get there."
Huo Shao Ting said softly, still firmly holding her hand in his.
Although it was the Spring Festival, it was still very cold in Shenjing in January, and it got dark early. The streets were lined with warm yellow lights, adding a touch of softness in the harsh winter.
Huo Shao Ting drove to Huafu Mountain City, parked the car in the underground garage, then picked up Rong Dai who was sitting steadily in the passenger seat and carried her in his arms.
Rong Dai's vision went completely dark. Although she really wanted to sneak a peek or two, she was afraid of spoiling the atmosphere, so she resisted her curiosity and tightly wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Shao Ting...where are we going?"
Feeling that he had walked a long way, Rong Dai couldn't help asking. She was full of anticipation and nervousness in her heart, just like when she first gave herself to him.
She didn't know why she still felt this nervous excitement, even though she and Huo Shao Ting were already intimate and their feelings were harmonious.
But she really enjoyed this feeling of nervous excitement, because every time her heart raced for him, her love for Huo Shao Ting would deepen a little more.
She hoped that her love for Huo Shao Ting could continue to grow infinitely.
Even though she had been hurt before, this man's love and warmth nurtured her, making her brave as well. She was willing to explore together with him, and try new things together.
"Almost there."
Huo Shao Ting noticed her nervousness, so he paused in his steps. Lowering his eyes and seeing her slightly parted lips, he swallowed subconsciously and lightly sucked on them.
Rong Dai's heart was pounding faster and faster, she was so nervous that her palms were sweating.
Until Huo Shao Ting put her down, in the warm house, there was the fragrance of flowers, mixed with the smell of burning candles.
There was also the aroma of food and wine, just the scents in the air were already full of romance and warmth.
"Wait for me for a bit."
Huo Shao Ting helped her sit down on a chair, leaned down to kiss her ear, and instructed her in a magnetic, deep voice.
Rong Dai obediently nodded, wringing her hands together. Her little heart was pounding wildly.
Huo Shao Ting's deep eyes were full of tenderness. He quickly turned and went into the bedroom, changed into a hand-embroidered Western suit, and came out looking neat and dignified, exuding an imperial aura.
In the warm candlelight, his chiseled features appeared softer. Just one look was enough to mesmerize anyone.
He personally took off Rong Dai's eye mask. Seeing her slightly flushed cheeks and exquisite, charming face reveal a hint of anticipation that was charming yet a little mischievous.
Although the two had reached deep into each other's bones, every time he looked at her, the throbbing in his heart felt deeper than the last.
She was like a delicate flower blooming in his heart, needing his care every moment.
Huo Shao Ting's heart was as soft as a puddle, and every beat was just for her.
"My wife, you can open your eyes now."
Hearing his light and gentle voice, Rong Dai slowly opened her eyes.
In front of the table, there was a candelabra with lit candles. Rose petals were scattered all over the table. Beside it was a bottle of red wine ready to be opened. In front of her was an exquisite cake, with their initials written on it.
Next to the cake was a love letter tucked inside a pink envelope.
Rong Dai's heart raced uncontrollably. She looked at Huo Shao Ting sitting across from her in surprise.
He was like an emperor at this moment, yet so gentle and charming.
"Open it and take a look. This is the first love letter I've written in my life, and it's only for you."
Huo Shao Ting said gently.
Rong Dai nodded. As she opened the envelope, a specially made gold key fell out.
"What's this?"
"My fortune. From now on, every penny I earn will be handed over to you."
Huo Shao Ting answered truthfully.
He loved Rong Dai. When he understood his feelings, he had never been more certain.
In this materialistic era, apart from everything he did for Rong Dai, material security was probably the second biggest sense of security he could give his wife.
Rong Dai was stunned for a moment. She remembered his words "I will work hard to support our family". Her heart instantly softened.
She remembered seeing online that a man who spends money on you doesn't necessarily love you, but a man who doesn't spend money on you definitely doesn't love you.
But for her, Huo Shao Ting had given her his entire fortune.
How could she not understand this man's expression of love? How could she not be moved?
Then she raised her eyebrows playfully and asked him, "Mr. Huo, aren't you afraid that your wife will start a business and squander all your fortune?"
But Huo Shao Ting looked at her indulgently: "You just squander it as you please, I'm responsible for earning it back. I will strive to match the speed at which my wife spends money."
Rong Dai immediately gave him an annoyed glance, put the key aside, and carefully read the love letter he had handwritten.
This was the first love letter he had ever written, and it was also the first love letter she had received!
The content of the letter:
When I see a deer deep in the woods, and when I wake to see you, they are the most fortunate things in my life.
Meeting you is the luckiest thing that has happened to me.
Having you is the most beautiful thing in my life.
Loving you is the most heart-fluttering thing I've ever done.
From now on, I will be the husband who loves and protects you.
You will be my only wife, the only woman I truly love.
A once in a lifetime throb of the heart, only because of you, and only for you.
Whether it is wind or rain in the future, I will always be your greatest reliance and harbor.
In this life, loving you is the only firm thing.
- For my wife, Rong Dai
Although there were only a few short lines, Rong Dai could feel his heartfelt emotions.
Her eyes involuntarily became a little wet in the flickering candlelight.
In her previous life, she had suffered grievously because of love.
In this life, she never expected that this man would hold her in the palm of his hand, loving her, doting on her.
Seeing the glistening in her eyes, Huo Shao Ting got up to wipe her tears with a tissue.
Rong Dai felt warm and sweet inside. She blamefully yet sentimentally complained, "It's all your fault. You promised to spend new year with me but made me cry instead."
"It's my fault. I made the cake myself for the first time. Will Madam Huo grace me by trying it?"
Huo Shao Ting's tone was indulgent as he coaxed her.
