Chapter 141
“Well, I won’t say anything is all.” Cheng Lydia put down her knife and fork and drew a paper towel to wipe the corner of her mouth.
“Had enough?”
“Eat up.”
“Then let’s go.” Shen Ron beckoned the waiter to settle the bill and handed him a gold card.
It was an expensive meal, but well worth it, especially after seeing how cheerfully Cheng Lydia ate.
Being so full and early, Cheng Lydia suggested walking back to the villa.
Shen Ron naturally did not object, and the two walked forward arm in arm, talking and laughing in the somewhat cool sea breeze.
It was still a little chilly and Shen Ron looked down at her and asked, “Is it cold?”
“It’s not cold.” Cheng Lydia shook her head, “It feels so comfortable.”
“Just love the beach that much?”
“I love it, just looking at the blue and empty sea is so relaxing, my dream as a child was to live by the sea, to wake up every morning to the sound of the waves, to go to sleep at night to the sound of the waves, and to sit in the window when I was depressed to look at the sea and blow the wind.” Cheng Lydia smiles and pulls her hair from her cheeks to her ears, “Of course, there would have to be a loved one around, and preferably a lovely pair of children, if I could live that comfortably for once in my life, it would be enough.”
“Satisfied with such a small dream?” Shen Ron looked at her askance.
“It’s not a small dream at all, and I think dreams, well, they’re just something you can only think about in your dreams.”
“No need to think about it in your dreams, I’ll make it happen for you soon enough, but it will require your cooperation.”
“My fit?” Cheng Lydia wondered.
“That’s right, after all, I can’t manage this childbirth thing alone.”
It turned out he was referring to the child, and Cheng Lydia was speechless.
“Forget it, I was just saying that.”
“What? Not going to have two cute kids?”
“No, I just don’t think you should leave Shen Mansion behind and go live in a place like that, after all, Grandma is so old.” She didn’t want him to leave his family and Shen Mansion because of his dream.
Shen Ron, however, smiled indifferently, “It’s okay to go back once in a while, just like we live in the Thaumaturgical Residence.”
This feels so far away, it’s better to talk about it when the time comes.
Cheng Lydia looks up at the sky, there are more stars and brighter than in LS City, a great place for a vacation indeed!
Because they were so tired from the night’s tossing and turning, it was nearly noon when the two woke up the next day, and Cheng Lydia rose from Shen Ron’s arms, startled by the time on the wall.
“Oh my God, it’s eleven o’clock.” She tossed and turned to get up, only to be pulled back under the covers by Shen Ron.
His face was buried in her shoulder’s capaciousness, and his slurred voice came out, “Sleep a little longer.”
“We’re here to travel, not to sleep.” Cheng Lydia was speechless.
Although she felt it was too bad to use the time to sleep, seeing Shen Ron’s still sleepy look, she finally couldn’t bear to push him awake and touched his face with her small hand, letting him continue to sleep on her shoulder.
Gradually, Cheng Lydia also fell back to sleep.
It was lunch time when he woke up again, this time Shen Ron woke up first, he pinched Cheng Lydia’s tiny nose with his hand and leaned down to her ear, “Hey! Who just said we were here on vacation?”
Cheng Lydia, disturbed, flung her hands away from him and rubbed herself into his arms like a kitten.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Sleep, however, was drawing away little by little, and she opened her eyes to see his spring-like face close at hand.
“Awake?” He asked.
“Well, I was woken up by you.” Cheng Lydia tilted her little face up slightly, and Shen Ron took it in stride, kissing her on the lips as she did, in a long, mid-afternoon kiss.
As their lips loosened, Cheng Lydia scanned the time on the wall again and it was actually after 12 noon.
“Shouldn’t we pack our bags and go straight home?” Cheng Lydia sighed regretfully.
Shen Ron shook his head, “I booked tickets for the evening, we’ll rent a yacht for the afternoon and go out to sea, then have dinner before we leave.”
“Out to sea, huh?” Cheng Lydia was surprised.
“Well, not like?”
“Love it.” Cheng Lydia nodded and asked in surprise, “You really know how to drive a yacht?”
“What’s so surprising about that? It’s not much different than driving.” Shen Ron scowled at her, “But … what do you mean I can actually drive?”
“Oh, it was the last time Gu William was open, and I asked him, and he said he knew everything you knew.”
“Well, he’s nothing compared to me, except for his in-laws.”
“Look at that smug look on your face.” Cheng Lydia gave him a breathless blank look.
Shen Ron laughed harshly and scooped her out from under the covers, “Hurry up and get up and change or you’ll really have to pack your bags and go straight home.”
The two took a shower together in the bathroom, changed clothes, and while Cheng Lydia brushed her teeth, Shen Ron called to have lunch prepared downstairs.
Lunch was a relatively simple and time-saving affair, so we ate and took the bus to the pier.
Outside, the ocean view was even more blue and beautiful, and Cheng Lydia felt like she was about to get drunk on the romance.
Shen Ron put one arm around her shoulders and smiled, “It’ll be more fun in warmer weather, next time I’ll take you to another sea.”
“Yeah.” Cheng Lydia tightened the coat she was wearing, “But I can stand the cold.”
“Don’t blame me if you catch a cold.”
“I’m the doctor, does it help to rely on you?”
Shen Ron gave her a sideways glance and smiled.
Having loved the feeling of being at sea so much, Cheng Lydia was slow to leave the sea and by the time Shen Ron brought the yacht back to the dock, it was dinner time.
The two had another special meal inside the resort before they pulled their suitcases and headed to the airport.
Back in LS City, the two resumed their usual lives.
We work during the day and either go back to Shen Mansion together in the evening or go back to Tai On Residence for a sweet duo.
And Cheng Lydia’s company for Yang June was not a minute less than usual, still a fresh bouquet of roses every day, rubbing her body and talking with her every.
At the end of the day, Cheng Lydia met the man named Wang Boyce.
It had been more than twenty days since they had last seen each other, and Cheng Lydia was not reluctant to feel a little weak when he suddenly appeared in June’s hospital room today.
Her feet paused and she hesitated for a moment before walking up and staring at him, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Yang said her daughter is hers and only she has the right to decide whether she lives or dies.”
“You gave her my medicine?” Wang Boyce looked at her with cold eyes.
“It’s …” Cheng Lydia nodded sheepishly; it was Mrs. Yang who had taken it from her, but she didn’t think Wang Boyce would need to explain; after all, the medicine had disappeared from her hands.
Wang Boyce grabbed her shoulders in anger and pushed her against the wall behind her, glaring at her and gnashing her teeth, “Cheng Lydia! You are really vicious, even though I thought your fake care for June was real, how could June have a sister like you? Do you think that there’s no way for me to wake her up like this? Do you think that you can secure the throne of Young Madam Shen like this? You …!”
Wang Boyce turned abruptly and copied the rose from the windowsill and smashed it at her feet along with the bottle, “June doesn’t even like Rose, take your hypocritical heart and get out of her face!”
The glass vase fell at Cheng Lydia’s feet with a loud ‘dang’ sound, shards of glass leaking out in all directions.
Cheng Lydia, stunned, looks at a furious Wang Boyce, tears permeating her eyes.
She shook her head, desperately, “No, you misunderstood, I really didn’t think of competing with June for the position of Young Lady Shen, and I didn’t know exactly what flowers June liked, I thought she would like roses … as much as I do.”
“Then why didn’t you medicate her? Why?” Wang Si Xin once again clasped her shoulders with his own large palms and shook her hard, “Aren’t you just afraid that she’ll wake up? Isn’t it?”
“No!” Cheng Lydia felt like she was just about to be shaken loose from him, only to feel her brain foggy, as if she might pass out at any moment from lack of itch.
“You were the one who said she might die, and I didn t want her to die, and Mrs. Young happened to break in and snatch the medicine away …”
“Do you see how she’s different from dead now?” Wang Boyce pointed at June on the bed, “Lying here every day, she can’t smell the flowers, can’t see the sky, and can’t feel the sun. Mother only knows how to use her to draw Shen in, and her husband is gone all day long, and even you, her most beloved sister, won’t help her.”
“I …” Cheng Lydia finally couldn’t hold it together, so dizzy that she just felt the whole ward whirling around while one accusation after another from Boyce Shen stabbed her heart with pain.
Her body went limp and she ended up fainting in Wang Boyce’s arms.
Cheng Lydia was never soft, and she didn’t know what was wrong with her and how she suddenly fainted.
Lying in bed, she didn’t need to open her eyes to know that this was a hospital room, surrounded by the smell of sterile water. She gradually came to her senses but never opened her eyes.
ShenBoyce’s words echoed in her mind over and over again, tears wetting her eyes once more.
He said she was evil, that she was trying to keep June from waking up in order to hog Shen Ron, none of that was true. She also wants June to wake up soon, whether June wakes up and steals Shen Ron from her or not, she might even give up everything to her as long as she wakes up!
“Lydia …” Shen Ron, who had been at her bedside, felt her eyelashes fluttering and tear tracks leaking from the corners of her eyes, and heartily caressed her little face and whispered, “Lydia are you awake? Is it hard to feel well?”
When he received a call from the hospital telling him that Cheng Lydia had fainted, he rushed over immediately.
Hearing Shen Ron’s voice, Cheng Lydia’s tears finally slipped out of her eyes and looked at him through them, the feeling of guilt staining her heart once again.
Is Wang Si Xin saying that June’s husband is missing all day and is blaming her for hogging Shen Ron who is supposed to be by Yang June’s side?
Yes, when she was at Shen Mansion, Shen Ron used to visit her almost once a morning and once a night, but now it’s rare to see her even once a week. She knows that it’s not that Shen Ron doesn’t love Yang June anymore, he’s just trying hard to let go of her and forget about her.
“Lydia, where are you not feeling well?” Shen Ron couldn’t help but get a little nervous when he saw her in tears.
Cheng Lydia shook her head, not saying a word.
Shen Ron gently wiped the tear stains from her face with a tissue and smiled, “Are you too happy and touched? So moved that you’re crying?”
When he first received the news, he was also moved and happy.
Cheng Lydia looked at him and choked out a sob, “What are you talking about?”
How could she be happy when she was clearly crying with sadness? How could she be happy after being accosted like that?
Shen Ron grabbed her small hand and led it to move gently to her flat belly, his other hand on his lips, “Shh, keep it down, he’s probably sleeping.”
“What? Who’s sleeping?” Cheng Lydia looked at Shen Ron, who was smiling with his eyebrows, and reacted for a moment.
“He, ah, the one in your belly.”
“Huh?” Cheng Lydia was stunned.
“So you don’t know yet? Then what were you crying about?” Shen Ron gaped at her in surprise; she didn’t know she was pregnant?
