"Although I like being at home alone with you, sometimes we also need proper relaxation, change the environment, which is like changing the mood," Huo Shao Ting tenderly pulled out the chair for her to sit down and leaned over to kiss her on the cheek to explain.
Rong Dai's cheeks flushed, and she glanced at him without saying more.
At dinner, Huo Shao Ting carefully cut the steak for her, so Rong Dai only needed to use her mouth.
After dinner, the couple hugged together on the sofa, sipped red wine, and watched the night colors gradually blur the horizon. The afterglow and neon lights intertwined, looking hazy and ambiguous.
"I will go to the southwest early tomorrow,"
Huo Shao Ting put down his wine glass, his eyes gazing at her profoundly, and he reached out to tidy her hair by her temple.
Rong Dai was stunned for a moment.
Tombs were discovered in the southwest, related to her previous life identity.
This was very important.
She had to figure out how she was reborn here, and whether she would return to the Abyss again in the future.
Although the two had not mentioned this hypothesis in a tacit understanding as their feelings grew deeper recently.
But they were both very clear in their hearts that this was what they were most worried about.
"Then I'll go home and pack your luggage. What time are you leaving tomorrow?"
Rong Dai did not ask why he had to leave early, and reached out to hug his neck, with her chin against his shoulder to inquire.
"Leave early in the morning."
Huo Shao Ting turned around to take her into his arms, kissed her forehead: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Rong Dai nodded, but still felt uneasy in her heart.
The couple stayed in the restaurant for more than half an hour before returning to Huafu Hill City. That night, Rong Dai was very active, and the couple was extremely affectionate.
The next morning, Rong Dai woke up early too, because she still had to attend the empress' publicity event today.
"Don't worry, eat and rest on time, don't overwork, understand?"
Huo Shao Ting didn't let her send him to the airport. He said goodbye in his own yard.
Seeing Rong Dai's reluctance and the worry in her eyes, Huo Shao Ting reached out and took her into his arms.
His thin lips kissed her from her forehead all the way to her lips, and it took a long time for them to reluctantly separate.
Rong Dai stood in the yard watching as the car gradually shrank into a black spot, her heart full of melancholy and worry.
"Still looking? He's already gone far away."
Lu Nianzhi walked over, dressed as usual in professional attire, carrying a large black bag.
Rong Dai quickly retracted her gaze and opened the door for her.
After Lu Nianzhi went over the procedure with her, she went out to do styling. Zong Che handled Mulanxiang's affairs, then came over with his assistant and bodyguards.
At 10 o'clock on time, they arrived at the scene of the empress' publicity event. Qiao Wanzhou and Zhou Jing couple also attended together. Except for some people who could not make it because of schedule conflicts, almost all the members of the empress' crew were present.
Rong Dai had memorized the script beforehand, and answered reporters' questions fluently on the spot.
The empress' crew was a big production. After playing a short clip and the actors' stills on site, it immediately topped the hot search.
Lu Ye and Huo Shaojie were rushed off their feet recently, and both had lost a lot of weight, but they were very excited in the face of reporters' questions on the spot.
Overall, the atmosphere of the first publicity event was good, and no one asked irrelevant questions, only questions related to this drama.
"Ms. Rong, there are rumors that the costumes, some rules of etiquette, and some of the music in the empress' crew have your participation, is this true?"
A reporter asked.
Rong Dai's pretty face showed a faint smile, and she nodded elegantly: "That's right, as everyone knows, I'm not a professional actor, purely because of personal interest and hobby, I happened to take this role by mistake."
"I am a designer, so I participated in some of the designs. If you are interested in these costumes, please pay attention to Mulanxiang!"
Rong Dai answered while not forgetting to advertise for Mulanxiang.
