Chapter 145
“Nowhere.” Shen Ron laughed and stroked her head, “So bad at talking, Grandma should hear you again.”
“I’ve managed to escape from Grandma’s care and my ears have just cleared a little and you’re doing it again.”
“Fine, fine … I won’t say anything is all, anyway, my Lydia is in good health, it’s okay to do some work, you take your time to serve master.” Shen Ron simply put his hands together and let her help take off his body suit.
Cheng Lydia smiled with satisfaction and without pushing back raised her hand to help him unbutton his shirt.
It wasn’t until she got down to the last middle piece that she turned and headed out the door.
Shen Ron, however, quickly took her hand and smiled evilly, “What? Don’t you want to work?”
Cheng Lydia cast a sly glance at his lanky body and said, “I was afraid I’d set you on fire and there’d be no one to help you put it out.”
Still, she was thoughtful, Shen Ron agreed, letting go of her arm.
She was right, in case she lit a fire, who would he find to put it out now that she was out of shape? That was indeed no small problem.
A romantic wedding is part of a woman’s dream, and since she can’t stop Mrs. Shen and Shen Ron from having a wedding, Cheng Lydia doesn’t stop anymore, and starts to prepare for it.
After meeting Shen Ron for a wedding dress fitting in the afternoon, Cheng Lydia arrives at Yang June’s hospital room after work while waiting for Shen Ron to come and pick herself up.
It had been over a week since Wang Boyce handed her the medication and she hadn’t seen the slightest reaction to the medication in Yang June’s body, not even a change in blood pressure or lipids.
Cheng Lydia, who was confident at first, gradually began to feel a little less confident.
She hesitantly dialed Wang Boyce’s number and told her of Yang June’s reaction. Wang Boyce was silent for a long time and said nothing, only instructing her to continue with the medication and hung up.
Cheng Lydia’s cell phone rang, a ringtone set just for Shen Ron. She stepped out of the hospital room, tapped the answer button hesitantly and asked, “Ron, it’s the weekend, do you want to come up and see June?”
Shen Ron on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and shook his head, “Not going up there.”
“Oh … that’s fine, I’m going down now.” Cheng Lydia hung up the phone and headed in the direction of the elevator.
Cheng Lydia got into Shen Ron’s Bentley and asked with a smile, “Don’t you have any social engagements tonight?”
Shen Ron looked at her sideways with his hands on the steering wheel and said with a straight face, “Lydia, now that we have a child and are about to have a wedding, it means that I really want to be with you properly and it also means that I have really decided to let go of June, so I won’t be seeing her in the future.”
It might seem cold to do so, but he had to, because every time he saw June was a moment that tickled his inner pain and shook his resolve, so he couldn’t go.
Cheng Lydia looked at him with a serious look on her face and nodded, “Okay, I won’t ask you that kind of question again.”
“Well, let’s forget about the past together.” Shen Ron reached out and ran his large palm over the top of her hair and started the car toward the bridal shop where he had made an appointment in advance.
It was one of the most famous wedding photography centers in the city, and when the two walked in, a woman in her thirties immediately greeted them and politely asked, “Is this Mr. and Mrs. Shen, please?”
This afternoon, there was a golden client who had made an appointment to come over to pick out a wedding dress, and when Shen Ron’s Bentley pulled up in front of the shop, she had already guessed that he was the golden client.
Shen Ron nodded, “Did all the wedding dresses I picked out earlier arrive?”
“Here it is, just delivered from the factory this afternoon.” The clerk smiled and made an inviting gesture at the two, “Please follow me upstairs, you two.”
Shen Ron put his arm around Cheng Lydia’s shoulders and followed the clerk upstairs.
The dozen or so wedding dresses set out on the floor were selected by Shen Ron and Cheng Lydia last night from a promotional album.
When I saw it in the pictures, it was so beautiful, but now that I saw it in person, it was more than twice as beautiful as the picture book. Even before I tried it on, Cheng Lydia exclaimed, “It’s beautiful!”NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“That’s because Mr. and Mrs. Shen have a good eye, picking pieces designed by our company’s most famous designers.” The clerk smiled and said, “Mrs. Shen first pick one and follow me to the dressing room to change into it, we’ll see how it looks when it’s on piece by piece.”
“Try every piece? It’s too much of a tussle, isn’t it?” Shen Ron was distressed, after all, Cheng Lydia was pregnant now.
The clerk said, “It’s okay if you don’t try them all, pick a few you like and try them on.”
“No, I want to try them all.” Cheng Lydia said.
Every wedding dress here looked so beautiful, she really didn’t know which one to choose.
Shen Ron saw her interest and didn’t object, admonishing, “Then take care of yourself and don’t get too tired.”
“Got it.” Cheng Lydia responded perfunctorily and followed the clerk inside the dressing room.
The first set was a snow-white one-shoulder floor-length dress, which was just right for Cheng Lydia’s height and body shape.
The shop assistant, Xiao and, while helping her sort out her dress, pointed to the stapled pearls on it and smiled, “The pearls on it are all leftover deep sea pearls in texture, which will look very beautiful and noble under the sunlight and light.”
Cheng Lydia surveyed herself in the mirror, she did look quite regal and the three dimensional lilies on her skirt looked particularly pretty.
“How do you feel about it yourself, Mrs. Shen?” The shop assistant lady asked.
“It’s quite beautiful.”
“Then let’s go out and have Shen take a look.”
Cheng Lydia walks out of the locker room and comes to Shen Ron, noticing that Shen Ron has a slightly lost expression on his face.
“Look at that, Mr. Shen is looking dumbfounded.” The shop assistant lady smiled.
Cheng Lydia smiled faintly and called out, “Ron.”
She didn’t think Shen Ron was dumbfounded by his own beauty, because there was such a hollow look under his eyes.
“Oh.” Shen Ron snapped back, standing up from the couch and taking two steps forward, running his fingers through the hair on her shoulders with a slight smile, “Beautiful.”
When he had just seen her come out of the dressing-room, he had that instant sense of familiarity; once, too, he had sat like this on the sofa while Yang June came out from behind the curtain in a white gown and stood with a light smile at his heels.
Damn it, thinking of June again!
“Then we’ll go try the next one.” The shop assistant lady said.
Cheng Lydia followed her back to the dressing room and tried on a second beige sheath-length veil in the same unique and chic style.
Shen Ron scowled for a long time before smiling lightly, “Each one is so beautiful, I really don’t know what to choose.”
The shop assistant immediately interjected, “That’s because Mrs. Shen has a good figure.”
“Yes, because my Lydia is in good shape.”
“So torn indeed.” Cheng Lydia said, “How about forgetting the ones below, the more I try, the less I know what to pick.”
“Didn’t you claim to be trying it all out?”
“But you also said every single one of them was beautiful.”
“Who made my bride look pretty?” Shen Ron put his arm around her scented shoulders and they laughed together.
From the bridal shop, the two went into an upscale Chinese restaurant for dinner together.
Shen Ron ordered a maternity meal for Cheng Lydia and straight up rendered Cheng Lydia speechless.
“It’s really thoughtful of restaurants these days to even think of maternity meals.”
“It’s called a business opportunity.”
“But I’d rather have the ones you have.” Cheng Lydia looked at her own maternity meal, so bland it didn’t look very good at first glance, and then at the fried steak in Shen Ron’s bowl.
“No, deep frying is not good for you or the baby.” Shen Ron said, but still offered her a piece of chops in her bowl, “Here you go.”
“Thank you, husband.” Cheng Lydia excitedly picked up the steak and ate it, suddenly looking up halfway through the meal and asking him, “Let’s go see a movie after dinner, okay?”
Shen Ron thought about it and said, “Can we do it tomorrow night?”
“Why? You have something else to do tonight?”
“Well, something’s up.”
“What is it?”
Shen Ron reached out and took her palm, brushing his fingertips over her ring finger, “Don’t you think we’re still missing a pair of rings?”
“Huh? The ring?” Cheng Lydia froze.
“Yeah, the ring.”
“But, didn’t you say …” Cheng Lydia looked at him, he had clearly said that he had promised June that he wouldn’t buy a ring for a second woman hadn’t he?
Shen Ron read her mind and smiled, “I thought June would understand me.”
“Better forget it, I don’t actually care if there’s a ring or not.” Cheng Lydia said.
She really doesn’t care, as long as she and Shen Ron are genuinely in love, she doesn’t have to care about having a wedding ring at all. Because she doesn’t want to see him embarrassed, much less break his vows to Yang June for her.
“You can’t have a wedding without a ring can you?” Shen Ron squeezed her palm, “Well, I want to buy you a ring and I have to, so don’t think about anything else.”
“All right then.”
“Good girl, hurry up and eat.” Shen Ron smiled with satisfaction and gestured to her bowl of dinner.
The rings were picked as a pair, and Cheng Lydia didn’t fancy the pigeon egg diamond ring the clerk recommended, but instead fell in love at first sight with a pair of less than a carat.
“Just like this pair that much?” Shen Ron asked, staring at her.
Cheng Lydia nodded and looked up at him, “These are safer to wear out and about and don’t interfere with work, too big instead they look flashy and should only be used for crushing.”
“That makes sense.”
“It’s just that … the diamonds are not even a carat, would that make you feel ashamed?” She was more worried about that.
“What’s there to be ashamed of?”
“Like people will think you’re petty.”
“It’s not like being petty is a bad thing, I don’t care what people say.” Shen Ron shrugged indifferently.
“If you say so, then I’ll pick this pair.”
“Take your pick, pick the first one that catches your eye.” Shen Ron gushed at the clerk lady, “I’ll take this pair.”
The shop assistant lady looked a little disappointed, but nodded politely, took out her slip and billed it, helping the two men take their measurements and then making the changes on the spot.
