All along, she had wanted to catch up with Huo Shao Ting's footsteps as soon as possible, to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
She was very averse to living under the protection of his halo.
But what happened today made her realize that if it hadn't been for Huo Shao Ting today...
TK would definitely not have let her leave so readily, nor would they have been able to get back the original manuscript or obtain the surveillance video so easily.
All of this was made possible because of Huo Shao Ting.
In her previous life, she was the Queen, born in a prestigious family.
The nobility and pride ingrained in her bones made her unwilling to bow her head before anyone. But when she first arrived, all she felt was crisis.
She had no choice but to rein in her sharpness and obediently become a well-behaved daughter-in-law.
She had her own pride, so she didn't want to rely on others.
That was why she shut even Huo Shao Ting out.
So when she made up her mind to make a career for herself, she was stubborn about it.
But now, upon careful reflection, she had actually been too impatient, with knots still in her heart.
All she wanted was to prove that she was the woman who could stand by Shao Ting's side.
Nothing more.
Huo Shao Ting chuckled lightly when he heard her say this, and planted a light kiss on her forehead.
"I'm very glad you've figured it out."
"All I want is for you to be happy. I also understand your abilities clearly."
"But if my wife wants to support me, she still needs some time to grow."
With his keen insight and perception, how could he not know what she was thinking?
He had seen her entanglement and stubbornness clearly.
He knew her status and understood her pride and nobility.
So as long as she was happy, he would accompany her no matter what she did.
Rong Dai was immediately amused by his words. "In that case, Huo Sir, please bear with the costs of supporting me for now!"
"Alright..."
Huo Shao Ting looked at her with a faint smile. As long as she could let go, that was good enough.
He only wanted to live an ordinary married life with her, although such a thought was hard to realize. But he was willing to wait -
wait until he retired, wait until she grew old.
Wait until their children grew up and handed the company over to them, then he would take her to travel the mountains and rivers, eating, drinking, and living simply.
"Thank you for always...being so accommodating of me."
Rong Dai tiptoed with her hands wrapped around his neck, looking straight into his eyes very, very solemnly as she spoke.
In fact, even if others didn't think she was the woman who could stand by Shao Ting's side, what did it matter?
As long as he acknowledged her, that was good enough!
Perhaps it was due to her experience in her previous life, coupled with Shao Ting's meticulous care for her in this life.
She would subconsciously compare them, causing inner turmoil that she herself did not realize.
"And thank you too for giving me such an opportunity and honor."
Huo Shao Ting turned around to hug her tightly, giving her a deep kiss.
Blushing and breathless, Rong Dai finally sat down with her husband to have dinner after he let go.
After dinner, Rong Dai hugged her laptop while Huo Shao Ting hugged her.
The married couple communicated together.
Rong Dai found that with Huo Shao Ting's help, her thinking became clearer and her plans more well-defined.
Listening to Huo Shao Ting's patient guidance warmed her heart.
In this life, meeting this man was truly her greatest blessing.
He bore so well with her "misdeeds", and after things went wrong, he did not reproach her at all - merely helping her handle the aftermath and teaching her how to solve the problems while exhorting her not to repeat the mistakes again.
His tolerance and gentleness made it impossible for her to leave his side ever again.
"I'm sleepy, darling..."
In the midst of typing, she suddenly closed the laptop childishly and threw herself into his arms, hugging his neck coquettishly.
