Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

In the evening Cheng Lydia was cooking in the kitchen when she heard a movement at the door, and as she wiped the water droplets from her hands went out and opened the door.

Outside the door, Shen Ron was still pressing the code over and over again, and when he saw her come out, he stared up at her and asked, “Why won’t the door open?”

His tone was cold, a tired look on his face.

“I reset my password and forgot to send you a message to let you know.” Cheng Lydia said.

“Why do you want to reset.” His brow saw cold.

“No reason, it’s just that previous password has been used for so long that I’m afraid it’s not secure.”

Shen Ron wasn’t saying anything and crossed past her into the house.

Cheng Lydia followed behind, reporting the newly set password.

Shen Ron paused in the act of taking off his shoes and looked up at her askance.

“It’s my birthday.” Cheng Lydia annotated, receiving a snort from him in return.

What does he mean by that? Think she’s switching Yang June’s birthday down on purpose? Thought she was jealous? Well, as a wife, there’s nothing wrong with being jealous of your husband’s beloved, so let him misunderstand.

Cheng Lydia went back to the kitchen and made him a cup of floral tea, which the old lady had asked her to bring back this morning, and it was fragrant and clear in colour, a good tea indeed!

She placed the tealight in front of Shen Ron, “This is the flower tea from Shen Mansion.”

“The ones from Gu William?” Shen Ron asked with a raised eyebrow.

Cheng Lydia looked up at him breathlessly, “It’s from Uncle Gu Andrew.”

She really wondered how this man had the heart to carry this inexplicable bar with her when he was so obviously tired.

Cheng Lydia ignored him again and turned back to the kitchen to continue preparing dinner.

Dinner was cooked rather simply, and Shen Ron was used to it, keeping his head down and stifling his stomach.

At night, Cheng Lydia lay on the side of the bed with her back to Shen Ron and swiped the news on her phone. Shen Ron scanned the TV station without seeing anything of interest and casually pressed the off button.

He craned his head to look at Cheng Lydia, wanting to say something.

Cheng Lydia felt his gaze and tossed him a “Say what you have to say, don’t act all lusty.” without looking back.

Shen Ron’s handsome face sank and he shot her an unpleasant glare, his exit tone still mild, “You haven’t had your period this month?”

His words made Cheng Lydia flinch, her eyes instantly pulling away from the phone screen and twisting her head to look at him. Yeah heh, if he hadn’t mentioned it, she hadn’t really thought about it, her period had been delayed by eleven days this month.

Could it be …

“Not yet.” She said.

“And did you get it checked out?”

“No.” Cheng Lydia shook her head a little and stared at him in bewilderment, “I’m not pregnant, am I?”

Was this good news? Why did she feel a sense of sadness at the same time as she was happy? Was this what Shen Ron had set out to do by marrying her, and now it was finally going to work?

She looked at Shen Ron and did not see the joy on his face, perhaps he was as torn as she was, wanting a child and not wanting a woman other than Yang June to give birth to it.

“Let’s go check it out tomorrow.” Shen Ron said, pulling up the covers and lying down under them.

Is this his attitude? Cheng Lydia stared at him breathlessly.

“You don’t want a baby?” She asked.

“Of course I want to.” He said sullenly, “Isn’t that what we’ve been trying to do?”

Yeah, that was what they’d been working towards for months, and her heart sank hard every time she saw herself on her period because it meant a failed pregnancy.

Now that it was finally going to work, she should feel happy.

Shen Ron is acting so flat, it must be because he’s been mad at her for the last few days, it must be!

With this mixture of anticipation and fear, Cheng Lydia drifted off to dreamland.

In her dream, she saw her belly bulging a little bit, and she saw that she had a beautiful son, almost a likeness of Shen Ron. She and Shen Ron held his little hand together and went to the playground, to the food, to the kindergarten …

The picture is harmonious and beautiful, no nasty Ho Gina, no Yang June who steadily points Shen Ron’s heart, just the three of them …

However, the dream was abruptly interrupted before she could feel the bliss, and a tingling sensation came faintly from the small of her back.

Cheng Lydia woke up with pain and sat up from her covers with difficulty, holding back, feeling something wrong she scrambled out of bed and rushed to the bathroom.

Dreams really are just dreams, they’ll never come true!

Her heart was instantly filled with a pang of disappointment when she saw the splash of bright red.

Another failure this month, she sighed helplessly, opening a small locker to the side before remembering that she had moved here last after her last period and hadn’t purchased any tampons at all. She banged her head with her fist in chagrin, what to do? Was she just going to run out and buy tampons?

If only it was at Shen Mansion, she could still make an inside call and ask Amy to send her a packet, but right now …

She moved to the door and cautiously pulled a crack to look out, only to be startled by the sudden appearance of a handsome face; when had Shen Ron been standing in the bathroom doorway?

“Are you okay?” Shen Ron asked as he stared at her with only one face poking out.

Cheng Lydia had just woken him up earlier when she was woken up in pain, and seeing as she had run into the bathroom for so long without moving, he decided to come over and check it out, not realizing that the door was open at that moment.

“That …” Cheng Lydia opened her mouth with a small blush of embarrassment and said, “I’m on my period.”

Shen Ron froze slightly, then gave a soft ‘oh’ as if to reassure her, “It’s okay, just try again next month.”

With that said, Shen Ron turned around and headed for the main direction of the closet.

Seeing him turn to leave, Cheng Lydia was busy calling out to him, “That …”

Shen Ron turned back and looked at her askance, “Which one?”

“I … forgot to buy sanitary pads when I was buying daily necessities earlier, can … you help me buy a pack … of them from the supermarket downstairs. ” Cheng Lydia almost bit her tongue when she said this.

She knew it was very wrong to ask a man to buy such things, especially to ask a golden young master and big president like Shen Ron to go, but right now she had no one else to ask but him.

Sure enough, Shen Ron’s already not-so-sunny face instantly sank and he fingered himself with a dark look on his face, “You’re asking me to go buy tampons for you for women?”

“Please.” Cheng Lydia gave him a rare look of begging.

“What if I don’t help?”

“Then I’ll sit on the toilet until you help-.” Cheng Lydia threatened, word for word.

What kind of man wouldn’t even do that little favor? Could he bear to let her stay in the toilet all the time?

Well, she admitted that this little favor was really not a good one.

Shen Ron had just asked that question to make sure there was no other way to make it work besides sending him to the mall to buy tampons, but Cheng Lydia’s answer had shown that was the only way.

His heart had a thousand reluctances to go, but he couldn’t really let Cheng Lydia squat inside the toilet all the time.

After changing his clothes, taking a pair of sunglasses from inside the drawer and hanging them on his face, and finding a hat from inside the closet and putting it on his head, Shen Ron went out the door, and Cheng Lydia raised her voice at his back and said, “You’ll be mistaken for a mugger like that.”

Shen Ron paused breathlessly and walked over to the mirror in the foyer, realizing that he really did look like a mugger, and it would be bad to walk into someone’s store dressed like that and get put down with a stick by security.

He had to remove all of his equipment for the sake of his own life.

The good thing was that he usually drove in and out, and never shopped at the supermarket downstairs, and the attendant inside didn’t know him.

As soon as Shen Ron stepped inside, a flamboyant waitress immediately greeted him and asked with a smile, “Sir, what can I get you?”

Shen Ron coughed uncomfortably softly and glanced around the room before making his way to the hygiene products section.

Watching Shen Ron head in the direction of diapers, the nymphomaniac followed and asked thoughtfully, “Excuse me, sir, do you want to buy diapers?”

Diapers are further up the list of female tampons, and of course, no one would believe that such a handsome brother would be reduced to buying tampons for women.

Shen Ron’s face changed, he just wanted to hurry up and get his stuff and leave, as it were, he quickened his pace and walked to the feminine goods counter, swept the various brands on it, casually took a packet down on it and turned to leave.

The female service opened her mouth wide in surprise, obviously not expecting him to be running for feminine products …

“That … sir.” The attendant stopped his way with open arms and smiled cheerfully, “The brand you took is the worst selling one in our store and ready to be taken off the shelves, may I ask if you want night or day use? Do you want cotton or net? Do you want the extra long ones or the shorter ones.”

Shen Ron frowned at how there was so much more to tell …

He tugged his lips and cast a charming smile at the waitress, “May I ask what you usually use, miss?”

“I …?” The waitress smiled shyly.

“Just get me whatever you use, and just pick the best brand.” Shen Ron added.

The waitress nodded with an ambiguous look on her face, “Okay.”

The waitress helped him get two packs of the better brand and handed them to him in a black bag, Shen Ron paid for them and turned to walk out of the mall. Behind him, the waitresses’ murmurs reached his ears impartially, “I bet he’s a duck, don’t you think?”

“Didn’t the property’s little flag say that anyone who can afford to live in an upscale apartment like the Taian Residence is either a duck or a lady.”

“But the man is so handsome, he must not be cheap.”

“The woman who bagged him is so happy.”

“…”

The waitresses’ murmurs faded away, and Shen Ron could no longer use words to describe his heart’s grief and anger, these eyeless ones, which point did he look like a duck?

Is a man who is good looking and lives in a thaumaturgical home a man who is bagged by a woman? What logic!

When Cheng Lydia took the tampon from Shen Ron, it was obvious that he had an unpleasant feeling in his heart, as he said with a grateful face, “Thank you.”

Shen Ron hmmed faintly.

It was the first time in his life that he had been treated like a duck, and no amount of ‘thank you’s’ could make up for the trauma in his heart at this point.

He wrapped his arms around his chest, leaned diagonally against the wall of the bathroom doorway, and said to Cheng Lydia through the door panel, “Let’s stay somewhere else.”Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why?”

“It’s too small for what was supposed to be a bachelor pad.”

“A smaller house looks cozy, and besides, I don’t feel small at all.” A hundred and thirty square meters of bachelor apartment, where is it small?

“They say that the people who live here are either ladies or ducks, aren’t you afraid of being mistaken for a lady?”

“What are you afraid of, being righteous.” Cheng Lydia pulled open the door panel of the hand washing sheep and scowled at him as she wiped her hands on a towel, “Is it hard to believe you’re often taken for a duck?”

“How is that possible? I look like I’ve been raised by a woman, what part of me looks like I’ve been raised by a woman?” Shen Ron rolled his eyes at her disdainfully and turned away.

Just after arriving at the hospital today, Cheng Lydia received a call from Assistant Peng saying that something had happened to Shen and a group of villagers from the west of the city were causing trouble in front of Shen’s building.

Cheng Lydia was stunned, she didn’t know what Assistant Peng was calling her for.

“What’s going on?” She asked in a rush.

“The villagers all already know that Baron got Wangye’s property and demanded Shen to give them the same treatment chant, as it is they all ran to Shen to make trouble.” Assistant Peng sighed impatiently, “Secretary Cheng, now you understand why CEO Shen won’t agree to Baron’s request, right?”

It turns out that Assistant Peng called her in order to make her realize her mistake, and it’s clear that she did make a not-so-subtle one.

Based on the smallest size of a property in Wangye, one household is two million. And there were a total of twenty-two households living in the city, so Shen would have to lose at least forty million if he agreed.

Forty million or so, that’s quite a lot of money!

She only thought of the Baron family at that time, but did not take into account the thoughts of the other 20 or so, it was really too wrong, no wonder Shen Ron was so angry that he ignored her for a few days. No wonder Shen Ron was so angry that he ignored her for a few days.

Cheng Lydia hangs up the phone and after a slight hesitation decides that she’d better go to Shen’s to check it out.

She took her leave from the director, took the elevator down to the parking plant on the negative floor, and drove quickly to Shen’s.

When Cheng Lydia arrived, a large circle of people had already gathered at Shen’s front door, each pointing and shouting in the direction of Shen’s front door.

And next to Shen’s gate, only a few Shen executives were dealing with the crowd, and there was no Shen Ron in sight.

The crowd was separated from the door by security personnel who couldn’t get in, and emotions were growing, rising to the point of wanting to vandalize the company building.

Cheng Lydia squeezed into the crowd and made her way over to Assistant Peng.

When Assistant Peng saw her, he pulled her to his side and asked in a low voice, “Didn’t I tell you not to come here? Why did you still come?”

“I wasn’t sure and wanted to come over and check it out.” Cheng Lydia said.

How could she stay in the hospital by herself and be a coward when she was the one who caused the trouble?

“What can you do if you’re not sure? It’s not like you can help.”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t expect this.” Cheng Lydia apologized.

Assistant Peng waved his hand a bit, “No, you don’t have to say sorry to me.”

She was the current president’s wife, it was her freedom to do whatever she wanted, how dare he, a small assistant, accept her three words of sorry!

“What are they going to do now?” Cheng Lydia said with a worried look as she scanned the agitated crowd.

She had only just finished asking, and immediately a sharp-eyed member of the crowd recognized her as the person who had promised Baron the house that night, and Baron had now managed to get it, so it seemed her words had indeed worked.

After waiting all morning for Shen Ron to show up, they seemed to see hope and pushed their way to the front, yelling, “Ms Cheng! It’s not fair!”

“That’s right! We want the house in Wangye Mansion too, we want it too!”

Cheng Lydia looked at the menacing crowd and was really afraid they would rush past the security officers and pounce on them.

She shook her head apologetically and rushed the group, “I’m sorry, I’m just a secretary, I don’t get to say anything.”
