Chapter 388: I Need to Know You

Chapter 388

Women's intuition has always been keen, and Shi Ning's eyes...

Rong Dai's eyebrows furrowed slightly, but it passed in an instant.

"Mr. Huo, hello, I'm Shi Ning."

Shi Ning walked elegantly up to the couple, similar in age to Rong Dai, but having been exposed to these profound things since a young age.

Thus, she carried an innate gentle and tranquil aura like a secluded lotus. It was rare to see her taking the initiative to be so enthusiastic.

Shi Ning smiled lightly as she stretched out her hand. Huo Shao Ting only gave her a cold, piercing glance.

"Do I need to know you?"

His retort made Shi Ning's confident smile freeze slightly, unable to stop a flash of annoyance in her beautiful eyes.

Rong Dai captured all these subtle expressions clearly.

Shi Ning still found a way to descend the stairs herself, smiling as she withdrew her hand. Her gaze turned to Rong Dai.

"Mr. Huo handles things of importance daily, so of course he doesn't need to know me, but I know of Mr. Huo and Ms. Rong by your side."

She didn't address Rong Dai as Mrs. Huo, but as Ms. Rong instead.

If she tried hard to explain herself now, wouldn't that just confirm her reputation for pettiness?

"I see, I had almost forgotten about it if Miss Shi hadn't brought it up."

"Now that I think about it, there does seem to have been something like that."

"I didn't expect Miss Shi to still remember such an insignificant matter so clearly."

Rong Dai responded lightly with a smile, only after the other party had finished speaking for a few seconds.

Her reply was even prettier than Shi Ning's, effortlessly tossing the black pot Shi Ning had put on her head right back again.

She wasn't afraid of these little tricks in verbal spars!

This was all thanks to those imperial concubines from her past life. If not for each of them being outstanding people that honed her skills, she wouldn't have been able to cultivate such ability.

"Let's go rest over there. What is there to say to a stranger?"

Huo Shao Ting wasn't an idiot either, naturally able to discern the implicit meaning in Shi Ning's words.

This displeased him greatly.

But there were more pressing matters, and he cared more about Rong Dai's health.

Although the doctor had examined her, what kind of crappy venue was this? There wasn't even heating! Were they trying to freeze his wife to death?
