Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

Shen Ron was stunned by her sudden behavior and looked down, staring at her small face with closed eyes and a sad face. Such an active her was unfamiliar to him.

A vague flash of pain rose in his heart as he kissed the top of her head and asked with a smile, “What’s wrong?”

“Just wanted to hug you.” She replied.

He put the file down and wrapped his arms around her slim body, not mincing his embrace.

“Still upset about Miss Shih?” He asked.

“Hmm.” She nodded copiously. She couldn’t tell him that she was more because of Gu William’s confession and kiss, and her sympathy for Gu William’s obsession.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Couples can fight in bed and make up, so after all those years of bromance, can it really be over when it’s all said and done?” Shen Ron lost his smile and soothed in her ear, “It always passes.”

“Gu William says he likes me and got together with Chung Grace to get close to me, but I know he loves June and he always thinks of me as June and feels so innocent, sometimes I hate myself for having this face.”

He was silent and she continued, “Can’t he see that? June and I are not the same, and I could never be that lover he had in mind.”

She closed her eyes as teardrops rolled down her face.

After mutual silence, Shen Ron sighed quietly and said, “I can’t blame him, a lot of times I feel like you’re June too, the woman I love.”

“Not at all.” Cheng Lydia blinked away the teardrops on her eyelashes, a slight betrayal seeping into her tone, “I’m stubborn, fiery, headstrong, and I don’t please men.”

Shen Ron is speechless …

She still remembers the comment she gave her in the first place!

“June can be stubborn, fiery, and headstrong at times.” He laughs.

“Do you?” Cheng Lydia asked, tilting her small face up and staring at his smiling face with a serious expression, “Do you not believe in the relationship between Gu William and me either?”

“Seriously, not really convinced.” He replied.

Cheng Lydia’s little face fell, she knew Shen Ron didn’t believe her either, no wonder Chung Grace didn’t believe her.

“Actually, I don’t trust Gu William, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to resist his powerful seduction and fall in love with him.”

Rumor has it that Gu William has never failed to chase the woman he wants, so he has always forbidden Cheng Lydia to get too close to him, even this reunion, partly to avoid her meeting with Gu William, so he did not plan to bring her to the reunion.

“I won’t, as much as I’m short of money, I have my principles.” Cheng Lydia said with a solemn face.

Gu William is not only rich, but he also has the talent, the looks and the masculinity to drive women crazy, a fact that Shen Ron has to admit.

“So, you’re already in love with me?” He laughs.

Cheng Lydia’s eyes darkened, could she? Could she love him?

Because she couldn’t, she never bothered to confront the issue, and that verbal divorce deal was as much a thorn in her side as Yang June, a constant reminder that there was hardly a future between herself and Shen Ron.

“I’m not going to put that pressure on you, don’t worry.” She said.

“Don’t say that.” His long, slender fingers slid over her chin and gently teased upward, lowering his head to kiss her on the lips.

How is he not putting pressure on her? He forbids her from dating Gu William while he is deeply in love with another woman. Sometimes, he would be confused and would confuse her with Yang June, not being able to tell who is who.

But there was always that belief in his heart that he loved June, that it was always her.

Cheng Lydia’s body throbbed slightly as his lips came down in a kiss, perhaps still recovering from Gu William’s deep kiss, and being exposed to Shen Ron’s breath again inevitably made her feel uncomfortable.

Shen Ron’s scent, smell, body, and even body heat were extraordinarily familiar to her, so it didn’t take her long to throb and slowly adjust, eventually sinking into his tenderness.

The moon is bright and soft, softly through the floor-to-ceiling windows scattered on the two people in a sizzling kiss, obviously wonderfully moving, but with their own hearts …

The colleagues in the office were discussing the meteor shower forecast released by the weather forecast this morning, Doctor Song said with a smile while refreshing the news on his phone, “It is said that tonight’s meteor shower will be a once in fifty years spectacular yeah, should we go to the observation deck of the Tiandu Building to watch it?”

“I guess the Tiandu Building will be crowded tonight.” Dr. Qin said.

“Just squeeze a little, as long as you can see the sky.” Ann was all giddy.

“I’m going too.” Wendy raised her hand.

“Anyone else going, we’ll buy group tickets together.” Doctor Song turned to Cheng Lydia: “Doctor Cheng are you going?”

“It’s Doctor Cheng who’s not interested in meteor showers and says they’re sweepers.” Ann rolled her eyes.

Cheng Lydia swept her off her feet with a smile, “It would have been.”

But while she didn’t like it, Chung Grace was a big fan of and believer in the Legend of the Meteor Shower. She said to Doctor Song, “Hold on, I’ll make a phone call.”

She took her cell phone and called Chung Grace’s number, it was still unavailable and it seemed that Chung Grace had not yet pulled her out of the blacklist.

“Let me use your phone.” She took Wendy’s phone and redialed Chung Grace’s number; the call went through, but Chung Grace hung up as soon as she heard her voice.

Listening to the beeping sound coming from the phone, Cheng Lydia’s heart was disappointed, and she sent a message instead: there is a meteor shower tonight, we will go to see … it together.

After the message was sent and no reply was received for a long time, Cheng Lydia sighed helplessly, it seemed that Chung Grace was determined to ignore her.

“Ah, Tendo is already packed!” Doctor Song, who was about to use his phone to group tickets, suddenly exclaimed strangely.

“Who is it? Who’s that big of a deal?” Ann came up to her face, “So wouldn’t we even have a chance to squeeze?”

“Looks like we’ll just have to go to the river to see it for free.” Doctor Song sighed and couldn’t help but chastise, “Who’s so unethical as to pick a time like this to pack the venue?”

“It’s just some officials and bosses who want to take their little secretaries and are afraid of being bumped into.”

“What a happy woman.” Ann sighed with envy on her face, “Being a little secretary to such an extent, I would like to be in her place.”

“No good.” The crowd spat in unison.

“Then let’s go to the riverfront.” Dr. Qin counted the time, “The meteor shower starts at nine in the evening, right? Let’s go to the usual place for dinner together after work, and it’s almost enough to walk there after dinner.”

“Oye! I love that hotpot!” Doctor Song cheered gleefully and turned each Cheng Lydia once again, “How’s that? No date, right? Hang out with us if you don’t have one.”

“Yeah, no problem.” Cheng Lydia handed the phone back to Wendy, and it looked like Chung Grace was going to ignore her.

Just as the group finished turning in their shifts and were about to head to the ‘usual place’, Cheng Lydia’s cell phone rang and she took it out to see that it was Shen Ron calling.

She remembered that Shen Ron had a client appointment tonight, so why would he call her at this time?

Shen Ron’s bright voice came, “Off duty yet?”

“Got off, was planning to go to hotpot with my coworkers and watch the meteor shower on the way.” Cheng Lydia swept a glance at the cadre of colleagues who were looking at her with ambiguous faces and quietly turned away.

“I thought you would need my company, and it seems I made a fool of myself.” Shen Ron grinned.

“Don’t you have clients to spend time with?”

“How about this, you meet with me with a client first, and then I’ll walk you to the meteor shower.”

“I’ve got an appointment with a colleague.”

“It’s okay, I’m sure they’ll understand.”

“Then … I’ll ask them.”

“Good.”

Cheng Lydia hung up the phone, mentally weighing what to tell her colleagues, who would surely think she was a big fan of sex if she just left the team, right?

She turned around hesitantly, only to find that it was empty behind her, and that her colleagues who had been waiting for her were gone.

She dialed Doctor Song as it were, who said with a smile, “Dr. Qin just got a text message telling us to go eat hot pot by ourselves and he’s paying.”

“What?” Cheng Lydia wondered.

Doctor Song smiled ambiguously and said triflingly, “We just arrived downstairs and saw Ron’s Bentley car, so hurry up and come down, don’t keep people waiting.”

Doctor Song hung up the phone with a smile after saying this.

Cheng Lydia had a moment of confusion… Shen Ron was already downstairs? And had sent a message to Dr. Qin? How come she never knew Shen Ron was that fast and efficient? And knew her colleagues around her so well that he even had the phone number.

She snapped out of it, put her phone away and walked quickly to the elevator and pressed the down button.

When she got down to the first floor, Shen Ron was indeed already waiting at the door and saw her come out, smiling lightly and waving at her.

Cheng Lydia walked over to the passenger side and pulled the door open to get in, surveying the lightly smiling man, “Why did you come over here without telling me?”

“A surprise for you, and a surprise check to see if you’ll be asked out on such a nice night by some handsome guy.” Shen Ron started the engine and turned the car around and drove off in the direction of the hospital entrance.

Cheng Lydia looked at him with a smile and asked, “How did it turn out? It didn’t disappoint you, did it?”

“Fairly satisfactory.”

It was quite satisfactory, except that she preferred to accompany things rather than to accompany him.

“How did you remember my colleague’s cell phone number?”

“It’s a must.”

Cheng Lydia looked at the side of his handsome face, she didn’t actually expect to spend the night with Shen Ron, that’s why she agreed to spend it with her colleagues. She knew Shen Ron had to spend time with his clients tonight, and even if he didn’t have to spend time with them, he still had his June to spend time with, didn’t he?

But he didn’t. He didn’t even go into Yang June’s ward.

Looks like he’s really trying hard to fall in love with her!

She took a light breath, sizing him up in casual attire and asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be with a client? Why are you dressed like that?”

“It’s pushed to tomorrow.”

“It’s not to watch a meteor shower with me, is it?”

“What if I said yes?”

Cheng Lydia was dumbfounded and surprised at the same time once again.

He put off a meeting with a client to watch a meteor shower with her?

Actually, it really doesn’t have to be this way …

“Moved?” Shen Ron swept her up with a sideways grin.

“Hmm.”

“It’s good to be moved.”

Doesn’t love grow from being touched over and over again?

When he saw the weather forecast this morning that there was a meteor shower tonight, he immediately asked his secretary to put off his social engagements for the night. He didn’t know if Cheng Lydia liked meteor showers, but he’d seen the girls in the secretary’s group looking forward to the night all day. He figured the girls would like it.

He knew that Cheng Lydia had been in a bad mood for the past two days because of Chung Grace, and it was hard for him to watch her when she was in a bad mood, so he hoped that this act of his would make her happy again.

Cheng Lydia looked out the window again when she noticed the car was parked in front of the Tiandu Building.

She turned to Shen Ron and said, “I heard Doctor Song say that the observation deck at Tendou is packed tonight and you can’t get in.”

Shen Ron, however, didn’t stop at turning the car off and locking it, and even held the seat belt open for her, helping her with the door, his large, warm palm reaching for her, “Let’s go.”

Cheng Lydia looked up at him, surprised for the millionth time tonight, “You’re not the one who wrapped the show, are you?”

“Or what?” He raised an eyebrow at her.

“Oh my God. …” Cheng Lydia held back her heartfelt surprise and said, “Do you know you’ve caused public outrage?”

“That’s your fault, too.” He reached out and led her out of the carriage.

“How is it my fault?” Cheng Lydia demurred.

“Because I’m packing the venue to please you.”

“…”

The Tiandu Building was built three years ago and has attracted many domestic and international sightseeing visitors over the past three years, while Cheng Lydia, who is a local, has never set foot on it.

The observation deck on the top floor has a Western restaurant that is so incredibly expensive that Cheng Lydia can barely stand to look at the price list on the menu.

Shen Ron, seeming to see her hesitation, took the liberty of ordering her steak and dessert and juice, and handed the menu back to the waiter after ordering a simple meal all for himself.

Cheng Lydia looked at the departing waiter and asked, “Why didn’t you ask me what I wanted to eat?”

“I’m afraid you’ll order a fried rice and get it over with, and it’s dynamite and spicy, and then stuff it in your mouth with a snotty nose.”

Cheng Lydia’s face flushed slightly, he actually remembered that time.

It was her second meeting with him, and she ate the powerful spicy stir-fry Lim Toby had ordered for her, tears and snot dripping down her nose at the same time. So wretched, so humiliating …

“That time, did you think I was ridiculous?”

“It does seem a bit ridiculous.” Shen Ron said.

Cheng Lydia’s little face fell, did he pay sky-high prices to charter the observation deck just to make fun of her?

Shen Ron handed her the juice the waiter had brought up and smiled lightly at the discomfort on her face.

That day he had seen the whole process of Lim Toby and Feng Ann combining to insult her, and instead of feeling ridiculous at all, he unconsciously rose up with a pang of pity for her. At that time, he was thinking that if it was his June being bullied like that, he would have beaten the other party until they were crippled.

He reached out and gently stroked the top of her head, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you get a chance to eat chili fried rice.”

“Thanks.” Cheng Lydia picked up the wine the waiter brought up and raised her glass at him, “Thank you for chartering the observation deck for me.”

Shen Ron lifted his glass and clinked it with her, “Don’t you like to see the night view, you can see the whole LS City from here.”

“Save it for when I’ve had my fill.”

“It seems you really haven’t been here.”

“Fruitful? You heard that from someone?”

“No, guess.”

Yes, guess, this place was built only three years ago, and she had just married Lim Toby three years ago and started her miserable life. He guessed that Lim Toby would never have brought her here, and she herself would be even less likely to part with hundreds of dollars for a ticket to the observation deck.

Sure enough, she never arrived.

After eating the last piece of dessert, Cheng Lydia realized that she had eaten a little too much. It was the first time she had eaten in front of Shen Ron in such an unconventional and disrespectful manner.

Blame it on the fact that the desserts here are so good and the varieties Shen Ron ordered all happened to be to her liking.

“You don’t seem to be eating?” Cheng Lydia surveyed the dry, clean forked spoon in front of him.

“I don’t like anything too sweet.” Shen Ron reached out, gently wiping a hint of cream from the corner of her mouth with a napkin, “Want more? Can order more.”

“Do you make fun of me in your mind for being able to eat?”

“No.”
