The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 569

Rong Dai also knew that what she was saying was indeed horrifying. If another person had heard her say this, they would have taken her for a madwoman.

"You should also get some rest soon. I'll be back quickly."

She gently advised him, looking at him with an adoring gaze.

"I might have to go on a date in a bit."

Huo Shao Ting didn't immediately end the video call, gazing at her with an equally longing expression.

Rong Dai instantly raised an eyebrow: "A date? With that great beauty, Miss Ying?"

Even though it was her own request, and she knew he was being honest, she still felt a tinge of jealousy.

"Unhappy now?"

Huo Shao Ting liked her reaction.

All this time, she had been very careful, suppressing her emotions for fear that the people around her would suspect her abnormality.

Although she would occasionally act spoiled in front of him, such moments were too rare.

Rong Dai huffed: "I'm going to sleep now."

Huo Shao Ting smiled helplessly and indulgently at her.

"I know what I'm doing."

He said softly, exchanging good nights with her before ending the video call.

Rong Dai placed her phone on the bedside table, looking at the warm yellow lamp beside her, longing for Huo Shao Ting as her mind became slightly muddled.

After tossing and turning for half an hour in bed, she finally fell into a dazed sleep.

The night was as dark as ink, and Rong Dai slept extremely restlessly.

Nightmares plagued her, with the events of her previous life vividly and bloodily entering her dreams once more.

Meanwhile, at another hotel, Shi Ning appeared with a cold expression, looking at the pale and weak Xin Ziqing on the bed.

"Are you ill?"

As soon as Shi Ning spoke, Xin Ziqing couldn't help but frown. Could this brat speak properly?

"I mean, do you really have an illness, or were you just pretending to be sick at the event?"

Shi Ning realized her mistake and quickly corrected herself.

"My emotions get the better of me sometimes, it's an old problem."

Xin Ziqing casually made up an excuse.

Thinking about what happened at today's award ceremony, her expression turned sour!

She had underestimated that bitch Rong Dai!

But this was good too, it would make things more interesting!

Shi Ning's deep eyes floated with hints of coldness and resentment: "Didn't you say you could handle that bitch?"

"Now you've only won a bronze award. How will Jinxiu Manor face others after this?"

She was resentful and dissatisfied!

If not for Rong Dai, would she have ended up in this situation?

Her glory, her reputation, had all turned to shit!

Xin Ziqing was very displeased with Shi Ning's tone when speaking to her. She really disliked the rules of this world!

She preferred to be superior, able to determine these lowlifes' fates with a mere glance!

Moreover, she was in pain, and had only risked so much to save face.

"I'm no saint, how could I have a foolproof plan?"

"That was your work, and it only won a bronze. Are you questioning me?"

Xin Ziqing said coldly.

Thinking of Rong Dai, she was more dissatisfied than anyone!

Shi Ning's expression turned vicious: "I don't care about all that. That bitch Rong Dai must die here!"

If Rong Dai died, everything would be solved.

Xin Ziqing wished for Rong Dai's death as much as anyone.

But Rong Dai was still useful, and couldn't just die like that.

"You'd better not act recklessly. This is a foreign country, not our homeland."

"If you cause trouble here, Jinxiu Manor won't be able to help you."

Xin Ziqing glared at her, very seriously warning her.

Shi Ning laughed coldly: "I'm not that stupid. Having been betrayed by that idiot Yang Yue once was enough!"

"We're not the only ones who want her dead."

Her smile was eerily sinister, sending a chill down Xin Ziqing's spine.

If this Shi Ning had been a concubine in the ancient imperial palace, she would have been a formidable opponent!
