Chapter 195: To Pay the Price

Chapter 195

Rong Dai had no choice but to go with him to the pavilion.

Because of Yang Wanwan's story, she was deeply moved and willing to let go of the past.

She had opened up to him about those things last night.

She thought he would be scared or at least feel somewhat difficult to accept.

But she didn't expect this man to be extremely gentle and considerate.

He not only accepted her but also understood her and was even more concerned about her troubles than she was.

The couple walked up to White Beard Master and politely greeted him.

"Esteemed donors, please sit down. This poor monk has been waiting here for a long time," White Beard Master opened his eyes and gestured for them to sit down.

Rong Dai was not surprised by this kind of thing. Even an ancient empress like her could be reborn in this modern world, so it was understandable that there would be one or two ascended masters in this world.

"Esteemed lady donor, you have come a few months earlier than this poor monk divined. It seems you have let go. The donor is fortunate," the old monk spoke gently, but his words made the couple very shocked.

"Master, what do you mean by that? Does it mean something will happen to my wife?" Hearing the master's words, Huo Shao Ting's expression immediately turned cold and he asked with a frown.

Ever since he learned of her identity, what he worried about most every day was that one day she would open her eyes and no longer be herself.

This kind of fear that penetrated to the depths of his soul, even when Huoshi Enterprise was on the verge of bankruptcy, he had never felt so anxious and terrified before.

He knew very clearly that he could not lose Rong Dai.

He needed her very much.

Rong Dai was clever too, of course she understood the implications behind the old monk's words.

Her mood was the same as Huo Shao Ting's, she was also very terrified that one day she would wake up and with the blink of an eye, she would be back in that cold palace.

That palace was the dreamland of her previous life.

Here, she also had her own new guardian.

But if this really happened, she understood very well that neither she nor Huo Shao Ting could reverse it.

Even the advanced science of this modern world could not yet unravel this kind of thing.

If she really went back to her previous life, she could not imagine how she would spend the rest of her life,

or what Huo Shao Ting would become.

Rong Dai leaned against his chest, looking up at him with a faint smile, "Okay."

He loved and cared for her so seriously and gently, how could she bear to disappoint him?

Seeing her in his arms like this, Huo Shao Ting looked at her with such gentle eyes they seemed to be dripping water. He couldn't help but lower his head to kiss her lips.

Rong Dai's ears instantly turned red. She glared at him indignantly and struggled out of his embrace.

"Weren't we going to eat?"

This guy would be intimate at the slightest opportunity.

At home it was fine since it was just the two of them and no one could see.

She was also gradually accepting his way of expressing himself.

But they were in a restaurant right now!

Seeing her shy annoyance, Huo Shao Ting looked at her with eyes so gentle they seemed they could squeeze water out. Words of love flowed naturally from his lips, "My wife is the most delicious."

Rong Dai: "..."

Her cheeks flushed hotly. She could only pretend not to hear.

Huo Shao Ting didn't want to tease her and make her hungry. They ate their meal peacefully and quietly. Then he drove and took her to see the snow scenery of West Lake.

"So many people..." Seeing the crowded flow of people on the broken bridge, a black mass, Rong Dai was a little dumbfounded.

She had seen the snow scenery of West Lake in her previous life, but it was far less beautiful than the pictures shown on computers in this modern world.

Seeing so many people on the broken bridge, Rong Dai wanted to leave.

Although she liked liveliness, that was limited to at home. It was different outside.

Huo Shao Ting also didn't expect so many people at West Lake, even in winter.

Coming here was really a mistake.

"Let's go drink tea instead. There's still plenty of time. I want to go shopping, buy some embroidery cloth. Suzhou silks are unmatched. I have time now so it's perfect."

Rong Dai looked at him brightly, not needing to pretend in front of him.

"Okay."

Huo Shao Ting stroked her head, gazing at her indulgently and gently.
