After the empress's promotional activities came out, it occupied the top three hot searches on Weibo for three days.
Some previews and behind-the-scenes footage were also released, and the stills of the crew and costumes received overwhelming support from most netizens online.
The three promotional events were very successful, and Rong Dai did not need to attend the remaining events.
"There's no need to rush like this, right? Mr. Huo has so many people around him. He just went ahead to arrange the shooting for you. You don't need to be so nervous."
After attending the events and returning to Huafoshan City, Rong Dai changed out of her dress while packing her things and asked Lu Nianzhi to book her plane tickets.
Lu Nianzhi looked at the time. Although there were no major issues with the three days of events, dealing with those reporters was still tiring.
"I miss him."
Rong Dai stopped her movements and looked up at her very seriously.
Only Shao Ting knew about her affairs, and Lu Nianzhi and the others would not understand her concerns.
No matter what was discovered in the tomb, she had to go and take a look, otherwise she would not be at ease.
"...Alright then. But if you go now, there probably won't be any cars to take you to the village."
Lu Nianzhi said sourly, but still took out her phone to book plane tickets for her.
"It's okay, I'll stay nearby."
Rong Dai shook her head.
Unable to persuade her, Lu Nianzhi contacted Chong Che to confirm, then booked an 8pm flight for her.
Considering the situation in the southwest, Rong Dai rejected Chong Che's proposal and only brought Lu Nianzhi with her.
Before getting on the plane, she texted Huo Shao Ting, but did not get a reply from him for a long time.
Rong Dai's heart was uneasy. She fell asleep groggily on the plane and had a nightmare until Lu Nianzhi woke her up. Only then did she realize her whole body was drenched in cold sweat.
"We've arrived already?"
Hearing the roar of the airplane engine, Rong Dai could see the flashing ground lights of the runway through the window.
Lu Nianzhi nodded. Seeing the fatigue and worry on her face, she said, "What's wrong with you? You've been absent-minded ever since leaving Mr. Huo."
Rong Dai shook her head. "I'm probably just tired. I'll be fine after I get through this period and rest well."
Seeing that she was unwilling to talk about it, Lu Nianzhi did not ask further.
After getting off the plane and leaving the corridor, they saw Huo Shao Ting waiting there with Special Assistant Zhang and several security guards.
"Shao Ting!"
Seeing Huo Shao Ting, Rong Dai's eyes lit up and she immediately trotted over.
After worrying for three days, she finally felt relieved seeing him.
Huo Shao Ting had a smiling handsome face. He stretched out his arms to hug her and kissed her forehead, "Silly girl."
Rong Dai's inner fears surfaced, and her nose turned sour as she held him.
Sensing her emotions, Huo Shao Ting picked her up horizontally.
Rong Dai's cheeks flushed, but she felt good being held in his arms, so she simply rested her head on his chest with her eyes closed.
Lu Nianzhi watched enviously, her eyes green with envy, yet her teeth ached sourly as she dragged her suitcase along behind them.
"It's still a ways to the village. You can sleep first."
Sitting in the car, Huo Shao Ting still refused to let her go, using himself as a mattress for Rong Dai to lie on.
"Can't sleep."
Rong Dai stroked his chin and shook her head.
Huo Shao Ting gazed at her. Although she didn't say it, he could feel the fear and anxiety in her heart.
"Can you sleep like this?"
He lowered his head to kiss her lips, giving her a deep kiss.
Rong Dai's cheeks flushed red, and she panted slightly, gazing at him hazily as she nodded.
