Huo Shao Ting had a restless night, and Rong Dai couldn't sleep well either.
She stayed by Huo Shao Ting's side all night, even though he was asleep, his brows remained furrowed.
Rong Dai's heart ached, and she slept with her arms around his waist throughout the night.
When Huo Shao Ting woke up in the morning and saw the blue shade in her eyes, he leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"I'm sorry for making you worry," he softly spoke. Although his handsome face didn't show any other emotions, Rong Dai could clearly sense the complexity in his heart.
"Is your face still hurting?"
He lifted his hand and touched her cheek. He had used medicine to reduce the swelling last night, and apart from a few faint bruises, Rong Dai no longer felt any pain.
She shook her head and leaned her head against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, finding solace in her heart.
"I'm fine, and I don't blame her either."
After the truth came out, Lu Zheng, his mother-in-law, became a forbidden topic. Rong Dai wouldn't try to persuade Huo Shao Ting to reconcile with her.
If he wanted to find peace, it had to come from his own willingness.
Only those who haven't experienced it cannot understand the emotions he had gone through in the past two decades.
Huo Shao Ting held her in silence. The couple stayed in bed until the doctor came and knocked on the door, asking Rong Dai to undergo an examination. Only then did they get up from the bed.
After having breakfast together, Huo Shao Ting went to the company as usual.
Rong Dai underwent the examination, and everything was fine, which eased her worries to some extent.
During her days in the hospital, she also learned a lot about women's health.
These were all things she didn't have in her past life, so she paid extra attention to her physical well-being.
After returning from the examination and checking the time, she saw that it was already ten o'clock.
She hesitated for a few seconds but still decided to call Huo Shao Jie.
"Sister-in-law."
It was noisy on Huo Shao Jie's end, sounding like he was at the airport.
"Shao Jie, how did you arrange things with Mom?"
She asked in a low voice.
Yesterday, the old lady had spoken and demanded that Lu Zheng leave today.
The Lu family didn't object either.
Moreover, even Huo Linjing knew about Lu Zheng's ordeal, so it would be difficult to keep it a secret online.
It would be good for her if her mother-in-law left Shengjing early.
Although the Huo family held a significant position in Shengjing, Hainan was far away, and there probably wouldn't be many people who knew her mother-in-law there.
A quiet environment might help her figure things out.
"It's all arranged. We're boarding now."
Huo Shao Jie's voice was faint.
What happened yesterday was unexpected for him as well.
He understood that neither the Huo family nor the Lu family, nor this bustling Shengjing could tolerate his birth mother.
Leaving early would be beneficial for her too.
So last night, after he went back, he arranged everything overnight.
"You've worked hard."
Hearing his words, Rong Dai felt relieved.
Although she was annoyed by the slap from her mother-in-law, which came out of nowhere, she could understand the reasons behind it.
However, in the future, she wouldn't be as close to Lu Zheng as before. It would be enough if they maintained a decent relationship in front of others.
The reason she inquired about her younger brother-in-law's mother-in-law was for Shaoting's sake.
Whether Shaoting forgives his mother-in-law or not is his own business.
However, as his wife, there are certain things she needs to fulfill her responsibility to tell him.
"Of course. If there's nothing urgent, I'll hang up now."
"By the way, Mei Shu and I are going to accompany Mom on a trip to Hainan. It will be a bit hard on you with Grandma and Big Brother."
"We'll take care of things over there and will be back soon."
Huo Shaojie spoke.
Rong Dai responded and hung up the phone.
