Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

At night, Cheng Lydia is alone in an empty house, boundless loneliness surrounding her.

Despite the fact that she had turned on all the lights in the house, it still felt eerily quiet all around.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

It wasn’t that she hadn’t actually lived alone, or in this room alone, it was just that none of the past firsts had had the intense feeling of loneliness that tonight had.

Was it because there was still someone in her heart? She thought it must be!

She hunkered down inside the couch in the living room and eventually couldn’t stand the loneliness of dialing Chung Grace’s number, which was buzzing with activity, and the noise even reached her ears.

“Lydia, what’s up with calling so late at night?” Chung Grace asked suspiciously as the voices around her quieted down and it was obvious she had walked to the bathroom.

“Grace, where are you?” Cheng Lydia asked with a sobbing voice.

“I’m barhopping with Gu Ishara, what’s up Lydia,” Chung Grace’s tone became instantly tense as she heard her crying voice.

“I’m … so bored alone, can you come over and keep me company?”

“Where are you? What’s going on?”

“I’m at the Thaumaturgy.”

“Okay, I’ll be right over.” Chung Grace hung up the phone.

Twenty minutes later, Chung Grace came over.

She surveyed Cheng Lydia, who was wet with tears, and reached out to take her into her arms, asking softly, “What’s wrong? Had a fight with Shen Ron? Bad baby? Or is there something else going on?”

When she didn’t hear Cheng Lydia’s response, Chung Grace let her go and scowled at her, “Say something, do you want to scare me to death?”

Cheng Lydia wiped a tear from her face and stared at him, “Yang June is awake.”

Chung Grace froze for a moment, and a long, deep silence followed.

Two hours later, Chung Grace lay on Cheng Lydia’s side, holding her hand tightly and sighing softly, “Since you have decided to give up and have given up, I don’t want to persuade you anything more, in fact, seriously …” Chung Grace turned around and gazed at her already tear-dried face a serious, “You and Shen Ron are simply too incompatible with each other, that’s why there are so many trials and tribulations. It was so easy for them to get well and have a child, but then Yang June woke up again. It’s as if you and Shen Ron’s trials and tribulations will never end, don’t you think?”

Cheng Lydia nodded and smiled bitterly, “Yes, how can there be so many trials and tribulations?”

“Okay, don’t think about that.” Chung Grace patted her hand, “Don’t forget you’re pregnant, you tend to cause lack of blood circulation when you’re upset, which then causes lack of itchiness in the fetus. You’re a doctor, you should know more about this than I do, yeah.”

“I know, but I just can’t be happy.”

“No fear, I’m here.” Chung Grace laughed, “It just so happens that I have nowhere to hide from the paparazzi these days, so I’ll move in with you for the meantime.”

“Really?”

“Of course it’s true.” Chung Grace thought for a moment and added, “Why don’t we take a trip together? Find a nice scenic resort for a few quiet days.”

“Better not, you’re so busy with work right now.”

“It’s okay, I can shift my schedule.”

“It really won’t bother you at work?”

“No.”

Cheng Lydia nodded, even though she wasn’t half as excited to travel right now, she was going to get out and let off some steam for the baby’s sake.

After dinner, Shen Ron drove Yang June outside for a drive and stopped by to see what is now LS City.

Yang June was surprised to find out that in just four and a half years, LS City is not the same in many ways.

Back at Shen Mansion, Yang June sat on the couch after showering and watching TV without even watching a single shot, the sound of ‘clattering’ shower water in her ears.

Shen Ron was taking a shower in the bathroom, and for the first time, she heard him in the shower, and for the first time, she was in the same room with him, like a normal couple.

The water went off and Yang June unconsciously sat up straight, followed by Shen Ron who came out with only a bath towel around his waist.

“It’s late, go to bed.” Shen Ron wiped his hair as he grabbed the crank to turn off the TV.

“No, I still have to read it.” Yang June said busily.

Shen Ron’s hand stopped pressing the crank, looked at the shopping ad on the TV, then at her, then smiled with relief, put the crank down and walked to the closet to get a pair of pajamas and put them on.

From the beginning, Yang June didn’t dare to look at him, her heart pounding with nervousness.

Changing into his pajamas Shen Ron moved to sit next to her and put his arm around her shoulders, “I’ll watch with you.”

“No, you go to sleep.” Yang June finally dared to move her eyes towards him.

Shen Ron looked at her little blush and said with a smile, “June, even though tonight is kind of our bridal night, there’s no need to be nervous like this.”

“Not …”

“Okay, don’t blush, go to bed.” Shen Ron turned off the TV with one hand and pulled her up from the couch with the other, then smoothly wrapped his arms around her slender waist and stared at her with a smile, “We’re a couple, no need to feel embarrassed.”

When he finished, he lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead, his red lips trailing down her brow and landing on her lips.

Yang June was momentarily at a loss for words, and she ended up pushing him away and shoving him far away as he intended to invade her mouth.

“Ron, here’s the thing, the doctor said I’m not physically fit to have intercourse right now, at least three months from now … Well, yes, that’s what the doctor said.” She nodded at him with a straight face.

Shen Ron froze, then stepped forward and swept her into his arms, apologizing, “I’m sorry, I was reckless, because the doctor didn’t tell me.”

Yang June shook her head in his arms and smiled uncomfortably, “It’s okay.”

“And is it okay for you to have a bedroom all to yourself?”

“Yes.” Yang June nodded busily.

“So you’re going to bed early?”

“Good.”

Shen Ron nodded and stroked the top of her head, “Good night, get up early tomorrow and take you around.”

“Good.”

Shen Ron walked out of Yang June’s bedroom and paused in his steps, turning his head to look at the closed door, Yang June’s reaction was so big that he was puzzled, as if they were just meeting for the first time, was it because they had not seen each other for too long?

He shook his head and headed for his bedroom.

He had originally planned to stay with Yang June in the room just now, so the quilt and bedspread in this bedroom had been unpacked and put away by Zhang Jane. The large bedroom seemed empty and quiet.

Cheng Lydia’s things hadn’t had time to take them all away, and a glance around the bedroom showed traces of her presence everywhere. He suddenly thought of Cheng Lydia, and wondered if she was okay now.

As much as he wanted to know how she was doing now, he couldn’t call her, after all, he was now with Yang June.

Early the next morning, Chung Grace booked a flight for that day to a holiday in an old town a thousand kilometres away.

On the plane, Chung Grace smilingly introduced the charming scenery of this ancient town to Cheng Lydia, who, after listening to her, looked at her suspiciously and asked, “When did you go there, how come I don’t know anything about it?”

Chung Grace smiled smugly, “I’m a popular star now, so it’s too normal for me to go to that to take a scene and shoot a commercial or something.”

“Heh, I hadn’t really thought of that, here, sign my mother and me.” Cheng Lydia handed her palm over.

Chung Grace laughed and slapped her hand down, “When the baby is born, I’ll sign it right on his little butt.”

“The baby daddy will blow you out.” Cheng Lydia stopped laughing, the baby daddy … Why did she bring him up again? Really shouldn’t have brought it up.

Alarmed by her sadness, Chung Grace changed the subject and said, “Do you think it’s possible that by the time the baby is born, I’ll have no one left to talk to?”

“How come? You’re legitimately popular right now.”

“Hard to say, without Gu William’s support, I’m nothing.” It was Chung Grace’s voice that darkened for a change.

Cheng Lydia grabbed her hand, sized her up and asked, “You’ve really given up?”

“Well, give it up.” Chung Grace took a light breath and smiled bitterly, “It’s useless to hold on to something that doesn’t belong to you, you see I’m doing just fine now, having a happy life just the same.”

“It’s good to be happy.” Cheng Lydia tightened her hand in relief.

One day she’ll come out of the shadows and live happily ever after, just like Chung Grace.

As the plane passed through the clouds, it suddenly got a little bumpy and tended to get sharper and sharper.

The sweet voice of the flight attendant rang in my ears, informing everyone that the plane had encountered strong turbulence and that they should not panic, stay put and remain calm in their seats.

However, most of the passengers screamed in fear and even pushed towards the safety exits, and the passenger compartment gradually turned into a chaos.

“A little draught and you’re scared to death of the noise.” Chung Grace swept the chaotic crowd without a glance.

She and Cheng Lydia were the most calm in the hangar, not half as frightened or unsure of their demeanor.

“Lydia, aren’t you afraid?” Chung Grace asked as she surveyed Cheng Lydia in surprise.

“Afraid of what? Afraid that the plane will fall?” Cheng Lydia smiled unconcernedly, “Strong air currents happen every day, but very few planes fall to the ground, and besides, even if a plane did fall, there’s no point in panicking, is there?”

“I just love it when you’re so calm.” Chung Grace gave her a thumbs up.

Cheng Lydia suddenly thought of Shen Ron, who, if he were on this plane at this time, would be cowering under his chair in fear.

Didn’t he get claustrophobic when we went to Japan together that time?

Thinking about Shen Ron’s situation if he was here, Cheng Lydia got a bit distressed since.

Luckily, the strong drafts soon passed and her thoughts were finally pulled back to reality from Shen Ron’s body, and the calm inside the barn returned to what it had just been.
