Chapter 11
Although he kept mentioning Cheng Lydia, Cheng Lydia was not angry and just thought he was talking nonsense in a drunken frenzy. She and Miss Liu worked together to lift Shen Ron to the bed, and the force was so strong that they pulled the wounds on their bodies.
Perhaps the movement was too much and Shen Ron’s stomach lurched up and then with a ‘poof’, he vomited all over Lydia and then planted himself back on the bed afterwards.
Cheng Lydia looked down at her dirty mess, her eyebrows furrowed into a frown, but for the sake of Shen Ron saving her life, she had to admit it.
Gazing at Shen Ron’s already quiet, sleeping face, she suddenly realized how good-looking the man was, with his artistically sculpted, smooth, three-dimensional features, honey-colored skin so clean it was flawless, and a body so wonderful it would never lose out to any fashion model.
Cheng Lydia was busy withdrawing her own gaze and turned around to find Liu drooling over the gorgeous man on the big bed.
She walked silently out of Shen Ron’s bedroom and went to the bathroom to clean the dirt off herself.
Early the next morning, Cheng Lydia retrieved her marriage certificate and ID card from the suitcase Mrs. Lim had sent over to her.
Today was the day she and Lim Toby were going through their divorce, and she didn’t want to hold out any longer when things had come to this, and she would find another way to pay for her mother’s medical bills.
Because of Shen Ron’s presence, Miss Liu got up extra early and made a Western-style breakfast table exquisite and sumptuous.
However, even the richest breakfast was like chewing wax to Cheng Lydia at this time of the day, and she casually ate two bites before planning to go out.
At that moment, the door to the bedroom where Shen Ron was located was pulled open, followed by the figure of Shen Ron appearing in front of her.
Compared to the drunken mess Shen Ron was last night, he had changed into a clean set of clothes, his hair was meticulously combed, his face was handsome, and his whole person was back to being the usual spirited and vigorous older man.
He scanned around, the shoe cupboard and coffee table had been reset and Cheng Lydia had changed her clothes. He was too drunk to remember last night, but he remembered what had happened.
“Ron, would you like to have breakfast now?” Miss Liu asked respectfully.
“Yes.” Shen Ron pulled out the dining chair and sat in the seat across from Cheng Lydia, reaching out to stop her from getting up and saying, “Eat a little more with me.”
“I’m sorry, I’m busy.”
“A divorce? I’ll take you to the civil office after breakfast.”
She had said so, Cheng Lydia naturally could not say anything else and sat back in her chair.
“I’m sorry about last night, I’ll try to exercise restraint next time.”
“It’s okay, there won’t be a next time.” She and he were just two people who had met in passing, there wouldn’t be a next time, and when she was done with her divorce, she would go out and rent a house.
“Did that include being forcefully kissed and puked on by you?” Cheng Lydia looked at him mockingly.
Although the slap marks on his face looked to make her feel that little bit guilty, she was in self-defense wasn’t she?
Shen Ron put a piece of bacon on her plate and scowled at her a serious, “I meant one thing last night, please marry me.”
Cheng Lydia’s hand with the knife and fork shook and looked at him in dismay.
Miss Liu, who was also momentarily stunned on the side, stared at Shen Ron in surprise.
A non-marriageable Shen Ron proposing to someone else? Anyone would be surprised to hear that.
“Shen Ron, have you not sobered up from your drunkenness yet?” Cheng Lydia asked slyly after a long time.
Shen Ron suddenly rose from his chair, leaned across the table, lifted her jaw with his long fingers, and, when she wasn’t expecting it, lowered his head and placed a kiss on her lips, “I’m wide awake.”
Cheng Lydia’s face was instantly scarlet, her heart was angry and anxious, what did this man want? How dare he kiss her in front of Miss Liu?
“I’m sorry, I have to go.” Whether he was joking or just talking drunk, Cheng Lydia decided that walking was the best idea.
As she turned around, a wicked and mocking voice came from behind her, “You’ve slept and kissed, who else can you marry if not me?”
Sleeping too, kissing too? On the side, Miss Liu was stunned once again. No wonder Shen Ron had treated her so well, hiring a doctor and an escort, and giving her his apartment to live in.
It turned out that … had such an unusual relationship!
And Shen Ron’s words successfully stopped Cheng Lydia in her tracks, and also successfully provoked the anger in her heart, while a certain man still unrepentantly got up and came in front of her, looking down at her and said with a light smile: “Is it bad to marry me? Is it not good to be the young lady of Shen? You should know that The Shen Family is more than a notch above The Lim Family.”
Lim Toby she’d been able to stalk until today before letting go, he didn’t believe she wouldn’t turn on him Shen Ron.
Unfortunately, he was wrong, and maybe most of the famous ladies in LS City would have been attracted to him, but that part did not include Cheng Lydia. To men, to love, to marriage … she had long since died of heart.
With a ‘snap’, Cheng Lydia raised her hand and threw a slap at his face, glaring at him and gritting her teeth, “Shen Ron, if this is the reason why you saved me, then you can die while you still can. Yes, The Shen Family is several notches above The Lim Family, but I, Cheng Lydia, will only allow myself to be wrong once, never again.”
Shen Ron’s handsome face, which should have been annoyed by her slap, blossomed into a cool smile as he looked askance at her, “You’ll be wrong a second time.”
One day, she would marry, that didn’t worry him.
“Lim Toby is the most heartless man I’ve ever seen in my life, you are the most narcissistic man I’ve ever seen in my life, hold your narcissism and find someone else and stop messing with me.” Dropping that, Cheng Lydia turned and left the restaurant.
She thought Shen Ron was a gentleman, a gentleman, but she never thought he was just a rich boy.
She didn’t know why Shen Ron had thought of marrying her, but one thing was clear to her, he had married her and it wasn’t about love!
That’s the kind of marriage she’ll never want again.
When Cheng Lydia left the apartment, she took her not-so-little baggage with her, in a big way.
Slapped again, slapped again by a woman … Shen Ron watched Cheng Lydia s determined back disappear out the door and kicked his foot on the dining chair in anger.
Ever since he was a child, had he ever been ignored and rejected like this? What is she, Cheng Lydia? She’s just an outcast who’s been thrown out of his home! Do you really think he can’t live without her?
Of course, his anger Cheng Lydia couldn’t see. The elevator went straight to the first floor, and when she stepped out of the door, she was surprised to see Lim Toby’s assistant standing by a BMW car. When the assistant saw her, she immediately took a step to greet her and while taking the salute in her hand, she respectfully said, “Ms Cheng, CEO Lim told you to just go directly to The Lim Family to sign a divorce agreement.”
The assistant used to call her Young Madam Lim, but today she changed her title.
Lim Toby really couldn’t wait, he even sent a car for her.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Cheng Lydia got into the back seat of the car with a calm face, as she could only straighten her body because it was still not fully healed. Every sight that flew by outside the window was familiar, and every pedestrian was as energetic as usual.
No matter how much her life changed, the earth would still transit in its path, and those busy people outside the window would not stop for that.
If she couldn’t live a beautiful life, she should at least live a healthy one, which had always been her philosophy of survival.
When Cheng Lydia arrived at The Lim Family, Lim Toby had already signed the divorce papers, and looking at the strong, steel ‘Lim Toby’ was like seeing Lim Toby’s determined, cold face. She took a deep breath, picked up the signature pen on the desk and signed her name without further hesitation.
Signed, Cheng Lydia got up from her chair.
“Ms Cheng, you can go back now.” The assistant collected the signed divorce papers, still with a respectful face.
“Where is he? I’d like to meet him.” Cheng Lydia said blandly.
The assistant opened her mouth, a little embarrassed because Lim Toby had confided that she didn’t want to see Cheng Lydia.
Cheng Lydia, seeing his difficult face, added, “Don’t worry, I’m not looking for his property, I just want to say a goodbye.”
The assistant hesitated for a long moment before saying, “CEO Lim is on the top floor.”
Lim Toby signed the divorce papers and then went to the penthouse and has not come down.
The Lim Family penthouse was spacious and bright, with floor-to-ceiling glass window structures on all sides, and the wide views were a great way to give a sense of peace of mind.
Cheng Lydia used to love to come and had the urge to come and not want to leave.
She and Lim Toby were not married then, and Lim Toby was not so disgusted with her as he is now, and even … Lim Toby still proposed to her here.
It’s ironic to think that Lim Toby was on one knee, holding up a ring and talking to her like it was yesterday, and today it’s all about divorce.
Cheng Lydia took a deep breath, pushing down the sadness in her heart, and glanced around the room, her eyes stopping on Lim Toby on the other side.
