Chapter 83
“You don’t feel bad about your forty million?”
“Heartburn.”
“Then why don’t you scold me?”
“Does it help to scold you?”
“But I don’t feel like it when you don’t scold me.”
“So that means I want you to owe me for the rest of your life.” Shen Ron smiled wickedly and hung up the phone.
Of course he was heartbroken, of course he was tempted to scold her.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
This outcome was something he had expected from a long time ago, so he had been angry with her for the past few days, but he couldn’t be angry with her for the rest of his life because of it, especially after seeing how extremely remorseful she looked for her actions.
Since the damage was unavoidable and there was no use being angry, why not just let her off the hook?
Cheng Lydia learned from her secretary Alina about the location of the hotel where Shen Ron and the client were eating.
After dinner and a shower in the evening, with nothing to do, she took her keys out as it were and went to the hotel where Shen Ron was staying.
She didn’t know what time Shen Ron broke up, and didn’t want to bother him by phone, so she found a seat in the cafe in the first floor lobby and read a magazine.
After sitting in the cafe for about ten minutes, she heard a commotion from the elevator door and looked up, surprised to see a familiar figure.
It’s Gu William, stepping out of the elevator as he shakes hands with several men and women to say goodbye.
After the men and women had left, Gu William was about to leave when his gaze unconsciously swept over the cafe and landed on Cheng Lydia with a noticeable lurch in his step.
Cheng Lydia feigned ignorance as she took a sip from her coffee and looked down to flip through her magazine.
Out of the corner of her eye she noticed that Gu William was heading her way, and knowing that there was no avoiding it, she lifted her head as it were and smiled at him with a feigned look of surprise, “What are you doing here too?”
“I just had dinner with CEO Shen.” Gu William sat down on the couch across from her and surveyed her with a smile, “You didn’t wait here specifically for him, did you?”
“Yes, I’ve come to pick him up and take him home.”
“That’s pretty thoughtful.” Gu William smiled a little sourly.
Cheng Lydia explained casually, “He hurt his hand and couldn’t drive.”
“I saw the report, did he do anything to you?” Concern flashed in his eyes.
Cheng Lydia didn’t understand what he meant when he asked that, was he worried that Shen Ron would blame her and resent her?
Shen Ron is not unhappy, but it’s all in the past.
She shook her head a little and asked instead, “By the way, why isn’t he down yet?”
“His wound was bleeding and a female client volunteered to dress his wound.”
Cheng Lydia’s heart clenched, “How did the wound bleed?”
“Accidentally hit by a chair, nothing serious.” Gu William saw the concern in her eyes and the sourness in his heart flooded out again.
Hearing him say that, Cheng Lydia’s heart settled down a little, but another question came to mind.
A female client?
Shen Ron was left alone in a private room with a female client at the moment?
Just as she was still secretly speculating on whether the female client was young, pretty, and for what purpose, the elevator doors opened again and Shen Ron appeared with the female client.
When she saw the chic, round and chubby female client, who was over half a century old, the stone fell from her heart.
Shen Ron also saw her at this time and was slightly surprised then turned back to say goodbye to his female client, “Goodbye Mrs. Joe, please excuse me for not being able to see you off.” He intentionally raised his injured left hand to her.
The female client smiled and waved her hand, “It’s fine, it’s fine, my driver is at the door, why don’t I give Ron a ride.”
“No need, I have a driver waiting too.” Shen Ron gave Cheng Lydia a deliberate sweeping glance.
“Oh, I’ll see you sometime, then.” The female client looked a little disappointed.
“I’ll see you there.” Shen Ron smiled at her.
Having easily sent the female client away, Shen Ron walked towards Cheng Lydia.
Cheng Lydia then remembered that in William’s Cun Da, as it were, twisted her head to look across the couch, and to her surprise, Gu William had lost sight of her at some point.
I was worried that Shen Ron would think more of her when he saw her with Gu William, but I didn’t expect Gu William to leave alone because he didn’t want Shen Ron to misunderstand her and hurt her like he did last time?
Ever since the incident at the Anseong Resort, Gu William had consciously distanced himself from her, never even appearing in her presence in this recent period.
Still, Shen Ron swept a glance in the direction of the hotel’s front entrance and smiled as he sat down across from her and sized her up, “I thought you’d have a cup of coffee with Gu William before you left.”
“So you knew I was waiting for you downstairs?”
“Guess so.”
“And you let a female client bandage your wounds?” Cheng Lydia swept a glance at the messy bandages wrapped around his wrists.
Shen Ron’s eyes sank as he looked at her askance, “You did meet with Gu William.”
“…” someone was dumbfounded.
“Say, what have you been talking to him about?” Shen Ron leaned over and moved the glass of lemonade Gu William had been drinking in his hand to the side, eyeing her unpleasantly.
Cheng Lydia opened her mouth, to be so serious …
“Nothing, just said hello and greeted each other, and how long you were with your female client is how long I was with him.”
“Don’t block me with female clients.”
“I’m not lying to you.”
“That better be true.” He took a sip from her glass of water, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Cheng Lydia scowled at him, “And what about you? What else did you do in the private room with the female client alone but bandage the wound?”
Shen Ron rolled her eyes breathlessly, “And kissed and made love, what? Got a problem with that?”
Shen Ron was exasperated by the brain-deadness of the woman in front of him, was he that horny in her eyes? Not to mention that Mrs. Qiao’s body looks, he can’t do it just because of her fucking age.
Cheng Lydia didn’t expect him to answer himself like that and was as speechless as he was.
Of course she knew that Shen Ron couldn’t have gone too far with that female client, and that question just now was just out of vindictiveness.
Right now, she didn’t really know how to respond to him for a moment.
She tugged at her lips, smiling lightly as she changed her tone, “The wound is tied too tightly, let me re-do it for you.”
When she finished, she walked over and sat down beside him, gently picking up his injured hand.
Instead, Shen Ron smoothly looped his arm around her shoulders and brought her into his arms when she wasn’t expecting it, lowering his head to kiss her punishingly on the lips.
Cheng Lydia was startled by him, and her body stiffened, This is a public place …
Shen Ron wrapped his arms around her who tried to struggle for a long moment before moving his red lips away from hers to between her ears and spoke warningly, “Next time you question me, you will not be spared.”
“You were the one who questioned me first.” Cheng Lydia defied.
Even though she had a point, she meekly shut up when she saw Shen Ron’s glare glare.
Not to be the object of continued spectatorship, Cheng Lydia backed out of his arms and gently warned, “Hurry up and put your hands out, it’s late.”
“Say you’re wrong.” A certain man demanded dominantly.
“I was wrong.” A certain someone looked like he wasn’t going to get along with him.
Reasoning with Young Master Shen? You’ll always be unreasonable!
Shen Ron finally handed her the injured hand.
When Mrs. Jo had just helped him to bandage it up, he had felt that it was tied too tightly, so tightly that the wound was raw and unbearable, except that he hadn’t brought it up in order to get rid of Mrs. Jo as soon as possible.
There was no denying that it was Cheng Lydia who was more to his liking when it came to things like treating wounds.
At night, Cheng Lydia received a tweet from Chung Grace saying that she just came back from Thailand, she hasn’t had hotpot for a long time, and she wants to have hotpot together tomorrow.
Cheng Lydia naturally agreed without saying a word, asking in passing: Did you bring me a present?
A minute later, Chung Grace came back with a message: brought you a human demon, definitely can replace Shen Ron’s demon down.
Cheng Lydia laughed.
The next moment, her phone was snatched away from her by Shen Ron.
Cheng Lydia froze and instinctively lunged to grab it, “Give me back my phone!”
Shen Ron avoided her palm and lifted his hand above his head, “Sending letters to and from in the middle of the night, who knows if you’re flirting with a man, I have the right to censor.”
“Where’s the man, it’s Chung Grace la.” Cheng Lydia grabbed it in a rush, thinking that she couldn’t let Shen Ron see Chung Grace’s text message, or else …
Unfortunately, before she could finish her thought, Shen Ron’s face had clouded over and his superb gaze was staring at her phone screen.
Cheng Lydia unconsciously gave up her snatch and backed her body up to the edge of the bed, looking at him with a heated, dry smile.
Shen Ron stretched the screen of his phone out in front of her and said in an unpleasant tone, “Is this how you guys usually discuss me?”
“Of course not.” Cheng Lydia shook her head.
“You want to switch me down that badly?”
“Of course not.” Keep shaking your head.
“Let’s see what I, the demon, can do to you!” Shen Ron threw down his phone and his lanky body quickly lunged at her.
Cheng Lydia had nowhere to hide and was pressed up against him, so she could only push and hit him while reminding him with a cheeky smile, “Don’t you move around, be careful of touching the wound, I won’t bandage you if it bleeds again …”
“That’s what you just threatened me with.” Shen Ron said.
She had also threatened to not bandage his hand if he hurt it when he had just tried to make out with her, but she hadn’t dutifully re-bandaged it for him afterwards.
So, he wasn t worried … at all.
