"Thank you Grandmaster Shi, I will if needed."
Rong Dai stood up with a smile.
Grandmaster Shi Yue had already made it clear, Rong Dai did not want to, so she certainly did not want to keep talking.
"I look forward to your arrival, this is my business card."
Grandmaster Shi Yue smiled kindly and handed her a simple but very textured business card.
Rong Dai took it with a smile and nodded her head, then bid farewell to the grandfather and granddaughter before going home with the vegetables.
After Rong Dai had walked away, Shi Ning looked at Grandmaster Shi Yue tentatively and asked, "Granny really wants her to join the company? But she is Huo Shao Ting's wife, the Huo family's status..."
She was very hesitant, seeming worried, but only she herself knew her true thoughts.
Thinking of that man Huo Shao Ting, as noble as an emperor, she sighed slightly in her heart.
If she had taken the initiative back then, with Granny's relationship with Madam Huo, would it have been different?
She just didn't expect Huo Shao Ting to get married so soon, and to marry not some rich man's daughter.
It was precisely because Rong Dai was not some rich man's daughter that she felt a little uncomfortable.
And she had seen the news about Rong Dai, she could not imagine how a man like Huo Shao Ting could accept such a woman?
Shi Ning was raised by Grandmaster Shi Yue, so she certainly knew her granddaughter's personality well.
She could guess Shi Ning's intentions in asking this.
She looked at her granddaughter with calm, rippling eyes, and sighed softly, "You are still young and cannot see Rong Dai's value."
"She is only in her early twenties, yet has such amazing embroidery skills. How many years have you studied embroidery to achieve what you can do today? But her talent is absolutely astonishing."
"If she could come to the Brocade Embroidery Workshop, she would definitely change the company. It's a pity that the girl is with the Huo family, otherwise this old bag of bones might still have a chance."
Grandmaster Shi Yue sighed lightly and shook her head, feeling very regretful.
On the surface, Shi Ning was calm, but there was a turbulent wave in her heart.
She secretly clenched her fists. She would feel more convinced if Rong Dai was some young miss of a prominent family.
But instead she was nothing, yet attracted such high regard from Granny with discerning eyes. She really could not accept it.
"Let's go. You have to work hard too. The company is not doing well now. If you don't accomplish something, it will be hard for Granny to speak for you in the company."
Grandmaster Shi Yue knew she was not convinced, but she had to do this.
She hoped her granddaughter would take her teachings to heart. If Rong Dai could join the company, it might stimulate this child. The Brocade Embroidery Workshop might still have another way forward.
Shi Ning's face was calm, but her heart was turbulent.
She supported Grandmaster Shi Yue and nodded obediently, "Mm..."
The grandmother and granddaughter then left the pavilion.
When Rong Dai got home, she glanced at the time and was about to wash vegetables and cook when she heard a message come in on her phone. She picked it up to check.
Seeing it was Huo Shao Ting's reply, she quickly replied back, then happily went to cook with peace of mind.
Not long after Rong Dai served dinner, the sky darkened and Huo Shao Ting also returned home.
Seeing the warm light in the house, his heart softened.
This feeling of being waited for to return home, it was so nice.
"You're back!"
Hearing the sound, Rong Dai wiped her hands dry, took off her apron and hung it up before walking over to him.
After changing his shoes, Huo Shao Ting hugged her by the slender waist and kissed her, gazing at her, "I wanted to get off work early and come back to see you sooner, every second apart felt like eternity."
Rong Dai smiled at his teasing. She blinked coquettishly at him, "Go wash your hands for dinner."
Huo Shao Ting nodded and let her go to wash his hands.
The couple enjoyed dinner together and watched the lights outside come on.
Although it was quiet, their hearts were especially warm.
The couple sat on the sofa. Huo Shao Ting held her. The TV was on in the living room. Since the New Year, the two had not been so relaxed.
But Rong Dai was sensitive. She looked up at his chin and softly asked, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Huo Shao Ting tightened his arms around her and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. He paused for a few seconds before answering her, "Some goods of the company were detained overseas. Huo Second Uncle's people did it, but I need to go resolve it."
Hearing him say this, Rong Dai immediately understood. Her heart suddenly tightened with a little worry as she asked him, "Will it be dangerous?"
Although Huo Second Uncle was still paralyzed in bed, Huo Shao Qian had not given up.
In her past life, she had seen many such struggles between heirs of family clans.
Huo Shao Ting smiled lightly at her, stroking her hair with one hand, his voice gentle, "There won't be any danger. It's just that those goods have some impact on the company. And I want to deal with those people as soon as possible. Otherwise the company could just send an executive to resolve it well."
Hearing his explanation, Rong Dai was instantly relieved. But her heart was wrapped in a thick reluctance.
The two had been together for so long, yet it was always brief meetings and long separations.
She had finally returned to Shengjing. Guohou's side didn't need her for publicity activities for the time being. She had thought they could spend more time together originally.
"I'll be back very soon, at most half a month, or as fast as five or six days."
Huo Shao Ting was also reluctant. If not for her work, he would have definitely brought her along.
Rong Dai nodded. Leaning in his arms, she gazed at him. Her hands took the initiative to climb onto his shoulders as she extended an inviting tone.
Huo Shao Ting was naturally happy to accept her invitation.
That night, the couple was extremely unrestrained. The living room and bedroom bore traces of their passion. Rong Dai was exhausted to the point she fell straight asleep.
When she woke up in the morning, Huo Shao Ting was no longer by her side. Her heart couldn't help but feel a little lost.
Recently she had gotten used to opening her eyes in the morning and seeing Huo Shao Ting next to her. This sudden absence made her feel very sad.
Thinking of the work to submit for the TK fashion show, she got out of bed feeling a little disheartened.
After washing up, she was going to eat some breakfast before starting work, but saw Huo Shao Ting had left breakfast for her in the thermos in the kitchen, along with a note he left behind.
Seeing his thoughtful reminders, Rong Dai's mood immediately brightened up. She finished his prepared breakfast in one go before energetically starting work.
After Rong Dai prepared all her work tools, she took out her phone and muted it. She also left a message for Lu Nianzhi. She thought for a bit before sending Huo Shao Ting a message.
She had assumed Huo Shao Ting should have already boarded his plane. Just seconds after sending her message, Huo Shao Ting's call came in.
"Hello..." she drew out the syllable lazily.
But to Huo Shao Ting, it was the most beautiful sound.
They had just been apart for not long, yet he already missed her so crazily.
He looked down, sitting in the airport VIP lounge, and said lightly, "Wife, I miss you..."
