"That's how it is."
Huo Shao Ting's voice was soft as he leaned down to give her a light kiss by her ear. "The kitchen is heavy with greasy fumes. Go rest, and you'll feel better soon."
Hearing his response, Rong Dai felt relieved.
She knew he wouldn't deceive her.
She had originally planned to show off a bit, but Huo Shao Ting had chased her out.
As she set the tableware and placed it on the table, her phone rang.
"Xuechun, is there something you need?"
After answering the call, she asked first.
From the other end of the line came Song Xuechun's relaxed and slightly teasing voice. "Did I interrupt your lovey-dovey time with President Huo?"
"Not really. How are things going between you and Jiayi?"
Rong Dai chuckled, wondering if she and Shao Ting were really that obvious.
"We talked, but she still wants to go abroad. Everyone has their own aspirations, and I won't force her."
Song Xuechun sighed, her tone no longer as agitated as that day.
"I've been following the news online these past couple of days. It seems that Shi Ning is targeting you! Did you have a conflict with Miss Shi?"
When Shi Ning was mentioned, Rong Dai's gaze deepened. "It's true that we had a conflict, but you will know more about it later."
Shi Ning currently has the advantage in terms of timing, location, and people. Although Jinxiu Lane has faced scrutiny this time, it has provided Ning Yue Fashion with a great opportunity to step into the public eye.
"I have already arranged the courses with the teachers at school. I can start at the company tomorrow. Have we hired anyone at our company yet?"
Song Xuechun asked her.
"The situation may not be too optimistic. We should know the specifics in a few days."
Thinking about the hiring process, Rong Dai also felt the pressure.
Mulang Fragrance offered very generous benefits, but now Mulang Fragrance is in the midst of controversy. Meanwhile, Shi Ning, relying on Jinxiu Lane and her own popularity, has managed to attract top-tier talent.
She even worried that no one would pay attention to Mulang Fragrance's recruitment information.
"Don't worry too much. No matter how powerful Ning Yue Fashion is, it's just a small fish in a big pond. Can she really lure away all the designers and embroiderers in the entire capital city?"
Song Xuechun comforted her. She always approached problems with a more optimistic mindset.
Rong Dai agreed, and after chatting for a while, they hung up.
Huo Shao Ting, wearing an apron around his waist, brought out the food. The couple had dinner together, and Huo Shao Ting received a call from his assistant, while Rong Dai took her clothes and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
When Huo Shao Ting finished the call and went upstairs, he saw Rong Dai, who had just finished bathing, coming out of the bathroom. His gaze became somewhat resentful.
Rong Dai's ears turned slightly red, and when she saw his expression, she took the initiative to embrace his waist. "It's not good for your health like this."
Her body hadn't fully recovered yet. She had spent a few months in the film and television city, and after returning, so many things had happened that their intimate moments had been scarce.
Huo Shao Ting understood what she meant, but his desire for her went beyond just the physical aspect; it extended to her heart as well.
"As for the invitation card from Fashion Wings, this time we don't need to go abroad. The other party is a former judge of Fashion Wings."
"Mrs. Huo, you need to make some preparations."
He didn't dwell on the earlier matter and instead told her the good news.
Rong Dai's eyes immediately lit up, and then she pondered for a few seconds. "I will be prepared."
Since she was a judge for Fashion Wing, she couldn't take it lightly.
"I will schedule the time for you."
Rong Dai nodded and leaned forward to lightly kiss his cheek. "Go freshen up quickly. I will take a look at the award-winning works of Fashion Wing in recent years to get a better understanding."
