After the arrangements were made, Rong Dai got up early the next morning.
Although her plane ticket was for the afternoon, she still needed to go and see the Old Madam before leaving for France.
Because of the matter with her mother-in-law, the Old Madam had been upset for a while.
She was busy with Magnolia Fragrance's affairs, and Huo Shao Ting had work matters at his company to attend to.
Her younger brother-in-law and Little Sister-in-law also had their own things to take care of, so the Old Madam was inevitably lonely being by herself in the big mansion.
"Sleep a little longer."
Sensing that she had gotten up, Huo Shao Ting opened his eyes, reached out to put his arm around her waist, and dragged her back under the covers.
Rong Dai laughed helplessly as she held his face in both hands and kissed his forehead, "Don't mess around, let me get ready to go see Grandma."
Huo Shao Ting frowned like a child denied candy, rubbing against her as he spoke in a reluctant tone tinged with resentment.
"How long will you be gone?"
Rong Dai: "I'll be gone for a week, I'll come back next week."
Huo Shao Ting was silent for a few seconds without saying anything, just hugging her waist and pulling her into his arms again.
Rong Dai suddenly blushed to her ears, feeling waves of heat. Her chest ached slightly.
Seeing the red and purple marks on her chest from his sucking, Rong Dai was a little exasperated. How was she supposed to wear formal attire like this?
"I'll wait for you at home."
Huo Shao Ting rolled over to press her down, looking at her with unconcealed reluctance in his eyes.
Rong Dai hugged his neck and kissed his lips, smiling at the corners of her eyes, "Okay, your wife will return in a week."
Unsatisfied with her response, Huo Shao Ting lowered his head to give her a deep kiss.
It took the husband and wife half an hour to come downstairs. Huo Shao Ting cancelled his morning work and drove her to the supermarket to buy groceries before going to the Huo residence.
"Grandma."
As soon as she entered the garden, she saw the Old Madam watering the flowers. Rong Dai smiled and called out, immediately walking over.
Huo Shao Ting carried the groceries into the kitchen. Mrs. Wang and Uncle Li saw the couple coming and immediately smiled brightly, pouring tea and serving water.
"It's not the weekend today."
The Old Madam adjusted her old pair of reading glasses on the bridge of her nose. Her mouth said so, but her eyes couldn't conceal the smile.
Rong Dai smiled as she took the flower sprayer from her hands, speaking in a slightly coy tone, "Is Grandma unhappy that we're bothering you?"
The Old Madam beamed, "Don't talk nonsense, child. I'm certainly happy that you came."
Then she went with her to the pavilion chatting and laughing.
While Rong Dai was brewing flower tea, she also messaged Huo Mei Shu and Huo ShaoJie. The two of them returned to the Huo residence half an hour later.
Ever since the incident with her mother-in-law Lu Zheng, the Huo residence had not been this lively.
The family ate a lively lunch together, had afternoon tea, before leaving separately to attend to their matters.
Huo Shao Ting drove her to the airport, but kept her in the car for half an hour refusing to let her go.
Zong Che called her repeatedly to urge her, leaving Rong Dai laughing and crying. She had no choice but to first unbuckle her seatbelt.
"I'll come back soon."
There was a hint of resentment in Huo Shao Ting's eyes, but in order not to delay her check-in time, he just responded with an "En."
Then he got out of the car to open her door and personally sent her to the ground boarding gate.
Joining her on this trip to France were Zong Che, Song Xuechun, and the bodyguards brought by Huo Shao Ting - around seven to eight people in total.
"If you encounter any unresolvable issues, contact this person. He will handle it."
Before she left, Huo Shao Ting was still worried, saving a number on her phone and making Rong Dai memorize it.
Rong Dai nodded and smiled, kissing his cheek before boarding the plane with the others.
