The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 83

"Sister-in-law, if I could get this back, I wouldn't be so upset here. This song... I put in so much effort, I didn't expect someone to just plagiarize it like that! I haven't even had the chance to finish arranging it yet!" Huo Mei Shu angrily pounded the table again, making the bowls and plates rattle.

Rong Dai didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. If they couldn't get it back, the young sister-in-law would just have to resign herself to her misfortune. But this was the fruit of her labor, she would probably be upset for days.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for making the wontons and bird's nest for me, I'm fine. I'm just angry and disappointed. If she really wanted this song, she could have just asked me for it."

Huo Mei Shu's anger had subsided quite a bit by now, and she also realized she had lost control. She quickly added this sentence.

Rong Dai nodded, looking at her earnestly: "Although this song is precious, using one song to make you see through her is not necessarily a bad thing."

She shook her head and said, Huo Mei Shu was not like her. She had lived two lifetimes, and knew that the human heart was the least resistant to trials.

As soon as heavy interests seduced, how many people could resist?

"Even if she becomes famous because of this song, you should know that some things don't belong to her. Things taken by theft will be repaid in other ways sooner or later."

She tried to make her words not sound too profound, her voice gentle and soft, pleasant to the ear.

"And this is your talent. I believe that if one day you can display your talent, it will definitely be undeniable. You have to believe in yourself. Don't waste your energy on things that are not worth it. Just take it as her returning your favor for the zither she gave you. Look at it from a different perspective, and you'll feel much better."

In her previous life in the palace, through the long nights, the concubines including her as the empress all had to learn to distract themselves from worries, otherwise how could they survive in the palace?

So she was first class at comforting people.

Huo Mei Shu found her words very comforting, the gloom and anger in her heart swept away, and she immediately revealed her unique brilliant smile again.

"Thank you sister-in-law! I feel much better after talking to you!"

Rong Dai also breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled as she got up: "If you're willing to talk to me in the future, I'll be very happy to listen, I promise to keep it a secret."

Huo Mei Shu nodded vigorously. She found that the Rong Dai in front of her now was simply a treasure of a sister-in-law!

"Mom was very worried about you today. She probably hasn't gone to sleep yet. Do you want to go talk to Mom for a few minutes? I still have some work to do on the script, so I won't accompany you there."

She cautiously asked, after all, it was best for Huo Mei Shu herself to go, so her mother-in-law could feel at ease that she had "completed the task", and the mother-in-law could rest easy as well.

"Go, go! Take advantage of this opportunity with my big brother, don't miss this good timing!"

Huo Mei Shu's playful gossiping mood had taken over again.

Rong Dai smiled helplessly, and could only leave her room with mixed feelings.

Returning to the bedroom, she saw Huo Shao Ting sitting at the desk busy at work on his computer.

"There are still things to deal with at the company?" She asked in surprise. Then hadn't she wasted a lot of his time that afternoon?

"I'm making a schedule for you. Come take a look, let me know if there's anywhere you think needs to be modified."

Huo Shao Ting glanced up at her and waved her over.

Rong Dai closed the door and locked it, then went over to him. Just as she was about to bend down to take a look, she felt his warm big hand grasp her waist, and her whole body sat down on his lap.

Her heart suddenly started pounding wildly. Although she had gradually become accustomed to this over the past few days, intimate contact between the two of them still made her feel this accelerated heartbeat.

Her cheeks and ear tips couldn't help turning red. Damn him, Huo Shao Ting had even rested his chin on her shoulder, his steady breathing lingering around her neck, both sour and itchy.

"You... you go ahead and do it, I'll go take a shower."

The high temperature generated by this kind of contact between them was almost overwhelming her. She hurriedly found an excuse to get away, but as soon as she stood up, her waist was pulled back by him with a slight force, and her whole body steadily fell into his arms.

Rong Dai's face turned crimson, her eyes nervously and panic looking at him, her moist, bright red lips slightly parted, somewhat at a loss.

Was he... wanting to do that?

Huo Shao Ting looked at the tempting her in front of him, constantly attracting him to get closer to her.

"Focus, or would you rather do something else with me?"

Seeing that her mind was elsewhere, a trace of evil charm flashed through Huo Shao Ting's eyes. He suddenly leaned in close to her ear, his low, mellow voice was seductive in itself.

And saying such suggestive words, Rong Dai's just calmed down temperature erupted again.

"I don't want to look anymore! You decide!"

Rong Dai knew he was deliberately teasing her. She turned her head and glared at him indignantly, but her blushing face had already betrayed her inner thoughts.

"No more joking around, look seriously." He quickly coaxed, unable to help pecking her cheek again.

"You..." Rong Dai was both shy and annoyed. He was doing this on purpose!

After the couple frolicked for a while, they finalized the schedule.

Huo Shao Ting went to run her bath water, while she fiddled with the computer herself, looking up the few dramas Jiāng Líng had recommended.

"Go take a bath first, we'll watch the videos later." Huo Shao Ting came out after a while, water droplets still hanging on him.

Dressed like this in a white shirt with two buttons of the collar undone, he was simply tempting.

Rong Dai swiftly glanced at him before hurrying into the bathroom, too nervous that she forgot to lock it.

After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she got naked and entered the bathtub. Although she was an empress in her previous life, bathing was regulated and not something she could enjoy every day. She really liked this feeling of being enveloped by hot water, eliminating fatigue.

She was lying in the tub with her eyes closed enjoying it, when she suddenly felt a little pain in her lower abdomen, and something leaked out from down there.

She quickly took a look, and the water in the tub had turned red.

This was... her period starting!

Rong Dai was stunned!

Her phone wasn't by her side, and Huo Shao Ting was still outside, what should she do?

She had no idea how people in this modern era handled periods, but it definitely wouldn't be as complex and primitive as in ancient times.

Her period was getting heavier and heavier, she could only get up and wrap a towel around herself, then sit on the toilet.

She stared blankly at the floor in front of her, soulless. What should she do? If she had her phone, she could ask her young sister-in-law for help.

But Huo Shao Ting was outside! Should she... ask him to help her?

Rong Dai felt her brain was tangled up.
