Chapter 153
Yang June got up early, washed and changed and stepped out of her bedroom, slowing her steps as she stepped out onto the air corridor.
The roses on either side of the hallway were blooming so nicely, she’d already heard from Amy yesterday that Shen Ron had planted them for her four years ago.
“Good morning, sister-in-law.” As she was fuming, Shen Belle’s cheerful voice suddenly sounded ahead.
Yang June looked back and saw that Shen Belle was walking towards her and greeted her with a smile as she did, “Belle, good morning.”
“Why are you up so early?” Shen Belle asked, sizing her up.
“Because I went to bed early last night.”
“What? My big brother isn’t messing with you?”
Yang June’s face flushed, and the words were too …
“Big brother and Cheng Lydia used to get rowdy almost every night when they were together.” Shen Belle smirked.
Yang June looked at her joking face and didn’t mind, giving her a little bow of her head, “Belle, I’ll go down first.”
“Okay, where do you plan to go with my brother later?”
“I don’t know yet, Ron said he’d show me around.”
“Well, it’s been so long since I’ve been outside, I should have let my big brother take you out for a walk.”
Yang June nodded and crossed over to her to head downstairs.
Shen Ron made it a point to drop work and show Yang June around, going to the beach together, eating great food and going to the movies.
Shen Ron’s pampering and thoughtfulness towards her is touching and enchanting, but it also makes her melancholy because she knows that the person he really wants to pamper is not her, but Cheng Lydia.
While eating dinner, Shen Ron offered Yang June a piece of frogfish, and Yang June instinctively blocked his chopsticks back, “I don’t eat seafood.”
Shen Ron froze, sizing her up suspiciously, “You don’t eat seafood?”
He remembers Yang June as a child who loved fish and shrimp too.
Yang June was shocked to realize that she had spoken out of turn and panicked, so she defended herself by saying, “I mean, I don’t want to eat seafood right now.”
“Why? Bad appetite today?” He inquired with concern.
“Well … yeah.”
“Then why don’t we change to another one?”
“No, it’s not necessary.” Yang June shook her head and reached for a slice of beef with her chopsticks, “I’d like some beef.”
Shen Ron saw her head down and started eating, so he had to let her be.
When they returned to Shen Mansion at night, Shen Ron took Yang June to her room, helped her adjust the room temperature, and went back to her room after telling her to get an early night’s rest.
Yang June finished her shower and headed to the patio as she toweled off her hair because she didn’t want to use the hair dryer.
The terrace here was sideways to Shen Ron’s side of the terrace, and she had deliberately taken some position to the other side so that Shen Ron wouldn’t see that she hadn’t rested yet.
The air here is nice and fresh and the temperature is already warming up, it’s already springtime and it’s the most comfortable night, Yang June closes her eyes and takes a deep breath of air, thinking how good it feels to be able to breathe fresh air!
When she opened her eyes, she was surprised to find a long wire on the parapet, and the wire was hanging down from the third floor. She was a bit confused, Shen Mansion lived in a big villa, it was not allowed to let the wires vibrate outside, so what was this wire doing in front of her?
Whatever was going on, powered up or not, Yang June thought she’d be better off avoiding it. As it was, she turned on her heel and headed for the house.
When Yang June woke up the next day, the wire was gone from the deck.
Over breakfast, Yang June casually mentioned this and Shen Ron thought about it and guessed, “Did the National Arts workers pull it?”
“The pool in the garden was clogged last night and the housekeeper was pumping it with a sump pump.” Shen Belle smirked, “Maybe the housekeeper pulled the cord and forgot to put it away.”
“Well, maybe so.” Yang June nodded, and didn’t care anymore.
Zhang Jane brought out a bowl of tonic soup from inside the kitchen and placed it in front of Yang June, the old lady took a look at the tonic soup and said, “June, this is specially stewed for you, drink more and fatten up your body.”
“Thank you, Grandma.” Yang June also knew that her body was too thin at this point, so naturally she was too embarrassed to push it away, and stiffly picked up the tonic soup and finished it.
Shen Belle scowled and ate her laugh, “Grandma, the baby in Lydia’s belly isn’t even born yet and you want your sister-in-law to conceive a grandchild for you, that’s too much of a rush.”
The old lady gave her a cross look and snapped, “Can’t you see how thin your sister-in-law has become? I just want her to gain weight and have a great body now, so I’ll plan for the pregnancy later.”
“Yeah, the main thing now is to get fatter, there’s no rush for anything else.” Shen Ron put his arm around Yang June’s shoulders, moving with great intimacy.
Yang June met his light smile, “I’ll take care of my health now.”
Seeing the young couple so much in love with each other, the old lady’s heart was not without relief. She who had previously lamented the loss of Cheng Lydia was now relieved to see Shen Ron able to be happy.
After a week of living in the old town with Chung Grace, Cheng Lydia was in a better mood, but couldn’t stay in the old town all the time.
After all, she and Chung Grace are both working people, especially Chung Grace, who disappeared for a week so long that the economy company is about to get anxious.
Chung Grace laughed indifferently and said, “Let them be anxious, and by the way, let our friends in the media speculate whether my lady is dead and gone or hiding somewhere to have a child for a rich businessman.”
“You’re not afraid of notoriety, are you?” Cheng Lydia said with a smirk as she swept her along while packing up her baggage.
Chung Grace smiled cheekily, “It’s called doing whatever it takes to get the hype.”
“It doesn’t look like it’s easy to be a star.”
“Of course it’s not easy, a slight sink and you risk never getting up again.”
The two took an early flight, and by the time they got back to LS City it was mid-afternoon, so they went to the supermarket together to buy the ingredients for dinner.
For the sake of the crowd, Chung Grace even called in Gu Ishara.
With three women in one, dinner was a very atmospheric affair, and Gu Ishara would probably have brought out the wine again if it weren’t for catering to Cheng Lydia.
After dinner, Gu Ishara greeted everyone at the station and played cards, which Cheng Lydia didn’t object to, as it was just as well she hadn’t played cards in a while.
“The person with the most face paint goes down to get a snack.” Gu Ishara said, waving a lipstick.
“And you have to get it with a flowery cat face.” Chung Grace added.
Both turned simultaneously to Cheng Lydia who was dealing the cards, “Lydia, does your silence signify agreement?”
Cheng Lydia looked up at the pair and replied, “I think it’s about you two.”
“What do you mean?”
“You guys put up with a pregnant woman with a flowery cat face to buy you guys a snack? Can you guys eat it when you buy it?”
“…” The two were speechless, and then yelled, “No fair!”
“That can’t be helped, who made me vulnerable?” Cheng Lydia smiled cheekily.
Shen Ron came back from work and saw Amy at Shen Mansion, stopped in his tracks and asked, “Is Lydia still not back from her trip?”
Amy was busy saying, “It’s back, young master.”
“Then why aren’t you over there with her.”
“Miss Chung Grace moved to Tai On Residence to stay with Ms Cheng, who asked me not to have to go there.”
Shen Ron nodded and said nothing more.
He’d be relieved to have Chung Grace around so Cheng Lydia would have some company too.
Yang June on the second floor terrace stepped down around the schist and said to Shen Ron, “Ron, you’re back.”
“Well, did you have a good day?” Shen Ron took her by the shoulders and kissed her affectionately on the forehead.
Yang June nodded shyly, “Pretty good, have you eaten?”
“We’ve eaten, come on, let’s go inside.” Shen Ron took her by the arm and stepped into the house, but Yang June pulled his arm and stood still.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing her look of inability to speak, Shen Ron’s expression couldn’t help but follow suit.
“I … want to go see Lydia, is that okay?” She asked hesitantly.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Shen Ron was surprised, she was going to see Lydia?
“I know it’s inappropriate to do this, but I haven’t seen her in a while and I really want to go see her.” Yang June had wanted to go for a long time, but Cheng Lydia had been absent from LS City for the past week and had just heard from Amy that she had returned, so she wanted to go and see her.
Shen Ron hesitated for a moment and nodded, “Okay, I’ll walk you there.”
“No, it’s better to let Tom drive me there.”
Shen Ron thought that it was not very convenient for him to go by himself, so he took out his phone and called Tom. After giving Tom some good instructions, he was relieved to let Yang June get into the car and leave Shen Mansion.
