"What are you thinking about?"
Huo Shao Ting lowered his head to look at her. Seeing the complex and strange expression on her charming face, he couldn't help asking her.
Rong Dai looked up at him with a cunning smile full of slyness on her pretty face.
She gently wriggled out of his embrace and went to sit on the sofa, signaling him to come over as well.
Huo Shao Ting didn't hesitate and went over, even bringing a small thin blanket to cover her legs.
The new replaced sofa was very spacious. Huo Shao Ting trapped her inside and stared at her closely with his eyes, unwilling to look away.
Seeing him looking so serious, Rong Dai felt a bit amused and helpless.
"I was just thinking of something interesting, that's all."
Huo Shao Ting didn't answer her, only kept staring at her, completely with an attitude that if you don't tell me, I'll just keep looking at you.
Rong Dai was helpless with him. She placed her hands on his chest, "Shao Ting, you're too outstanding, so wherever you go, you'll attract the coveting of other women."
"Even if they clearly know that I'm already your proper and openly recognized wife, they would still pounce on you."
Her tone was heavy and helpless, yet full of pride at the same time.
"If they pounce on me, I'll also kick them away."
Before she could finish speaking, Huo Shao Ting was already eager to clarify his stance, completely different from his cool and wise style when handling things at the company.
"Also, I won't give them a chance to pounce on me. This chance belongs exclusively to you, my wife, for a lifetime."
He added softly, she was the person he had decided to grow old together with.
Moreover, he only wanted to walk this path with her.
Taking good care of her in this lifetime was already an extremely important responsibility, as for other women.
He didn't have the heart, energy nor willingness to bother with them.
His sweet words made Rong Dai feel extremely contented, but she still had to tease him a little.
"Or how about I open a harem for you? Our house is big enough, having 3-5 more people wouldn't be an issue."
"Do you need me to help vet and bring in some concubines for you, President Huo? It would put my heart at ease too, so that I won't have to worry about you being taken away by others all the time."
She smiled slyly like a little fox. Huo Shao Ting knew clearly that she was deliberately teasing him, yet he still couldn't help feeling stifled in his heart.
Breathing heavily, he leaned in and sucked on her lips, lightly biting them a little as punishment.
"I don't need concubines."
"It's different here, Rong'er."
After biting her, he raised his hand to caress her face as he looked at her solemnly.
"I have a wife. I don't need concubines or mistresses."
"You are my lover, and also my wife. That's how it will be for this lifetime."
Rong Dai had originally wanted to joke around with him to lighten up the atmosphere today, but she didn't expect him to take it so seriously.
"I...won't joke with you like this anymore in the future."
She looked into his eyes, feeling a tinge of self-blame.
In her past life, using this seemingly joking method to teach or pry for information she wanted was common practice among concubines in the palace.
Unconsciously, she had picked up this skillset too. She didn't expect that this bad habit still hadn't changed.
He had mentioned before that he would take her words seriously.
This was a habit she must get rid of.
"You can joke around, but you need to know my heart only has you in it."
"I don't have the energy to deal with others. All my energy is spent on you, understand?"
Huo Shao Ting didn't blame her. His voice was gentle as he exhorted her, hugging her into his embrace. Taking the chance, he kissed her cheek twice more.
Just as the husband and wife were having an intimate moment on the sofa, Rong Dai's phone vibrated inopportunely.
