Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

“Acknowledged.” Cheng Lydia nodded.

“Look, isn’t this nice.” Ye Max scowled at the seemingly gin and tonic duo, “Little two, from now on, don’t fight over nothing, it’s harmful to others and to yourself.”

Harming people and harming yourself? That’s something Cheng Lydia just doesn’t get.

Ye Max, seeing her confusion, added with a face laden with hate, “Ever since you married into The Shen Family, I’ve been Ron’s garbage disposal, dragging me around to complain and drink at the first sign of sadness, torturing me to the point where I want to bang myself against the wall.”

Cheng Lydia laughed, “When young Ye finds a woman later, Ron will want to hit the wall and kill himself one day too.”

“I’m not that sick.” Ye Max shrugged dismissively and said, “I’m out of here.”

“Not eating together?” Shen Ron asked.

Ye Max swept the pair once more, “How could I bother when it’s rare for you to be able to live together in peace.”

Ye Max walked away, and Shen Ron and Cheng Lydia walked together in the direction of the parking lot.

Sitting in the car, Shen Ron asked Cheng Lydia, “What do you want to eat tonight?”

“I want to go home and make my own.”

“Yeah.”

“I’m going to get some groceries, is there a supermarket nearby?”

“Not nearby, but not a great deal more inside the city.” Shen Ron started the car and drove toward the parking lot entrance.

Cheng Lydia was looking down for a disc all the way, Shen Ron put in the car there are quite a few discs, but most of them are piano performance songs, it is very rare to find a piece of pop songs stuffed into it, the sweet voice of the female singer TobyToby out, filled the whole car.

The car pulled up in front of a large supermarket after about ten minutes on the road, and Cheng Lydia pulled her seat belt off, realizing how familiar the supermarket looked as soon as she got out of the car.

She scanned her surroundings; this was indeed the vicinity of The Lim Family villa.

At this hour, Mrs. Lim usually came to the supermarket to buy groceries herself, and if she went in now, there was a good chance she would meet her.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Ron asked somewhat knowingly.

He did not mean to park his car in front of this supermarket, it was only after seeing Cheng Lydia’s hesitation that he was shocked to realize that this was a supermarket near The Lim Family villa.

“It’s nothing, let’s go inside.” Cheng Lydia smiled and walked with him inside the supermarket. Thinking that maybe Mrs. Lim didn’t come today, maybe she came and went back already, it was almost time for dinner after all.

Even if they met inside, it would be a matter of saying hello and exchanging pleasantries at best; after all, Mrs. Lim is quite a nice person to be around.

Cheng Lydia picks something inside, Shen Ron pushes the cart trailing behind, pushing the mall shopping cart for the first time Shen Da Young Master scrapes aside the goods from time to time, and finally simply abandons the cart and takes the items inside in his hands.

Cheng Lydia turned her head to see him throw the car to the side and asked him, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s not a good place to push a car.” Shen Ron was fairly honest.

Cheng Lydia pushes the cart back, obviously just fine, and she scowls at him tauntingly, “You can drive a car, you can fly a plane, but you can’t even push a simple shopping cart like this?”

“It’s called being too big for your britches.” Shen Ron said shamelessly.

“Che …” Cheng Lydia threw him a word with disdain.

As Cheng Lydia herself pushed the cart into the food section, she suddenly turned her head to look at Shen Ron, who was holding a chicken dumpling in one hand and a beef dumpling in the other, and said, “This isn’t your first time entering the food section of the mall, is it?”

“Yeah.” Shen Ron put one of each type of dumpling in the cart.

Not only was it his first time in the food section, he’d barely even been in the mall.

A man like him who clothed and fed and did only great things didn’t need to shop at the mall himself. Cheng Lydia nodded in recognition that she had been the one who had asked too much.

Cheng Lydia finished buying the meat and greens, only to turn around and realize that the shopping cart was full, she looked up at Shen Ron in a daze and asked, “What are you buying so many dumplings for?”

“Leave it at home and eat it slowly.”

“There’s so much, you won’t be able to eat it all until it expires.”

“Then we’ll eat every day.”

“You really are a big talent that can’t come to the mall for small use.” Cheng Lydia shook her head and moved the dumplings inside out, piece by piece.

“Eh, why are you taking off my dumplings.”

“I’ve already bought there dumplings at home yesterday, I’ll come and buy them when I’m done.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Didn’t you say you forgot to buy it last night?”

“…” Cheng Lydia stalled in her speech, oops, spilled the beans.

“How dare you bluff me?” Shen Ron reached out and tickled her most sensitive area, Cheng Lydia didn’t expect him to do it, and she laughed and dodged, but her foot fell on the wheel of the cart and she almost fell.

Shen Ron fetched her back with a quick eye, shielding her within arm’s reach and threatening in her ear, “Say, why did you lie to me?”

“Don’t want to make it for you to eat.”

“Do you believe I’ll tickle you again?” A certain man blushed and feigned anger, his hand already reaching between her waist.

“Mind your image, this is a public place.” Cheng Lydia squirmed and struggled.

“What are you afraid of, no one knows us anyway.”

“Well, I’ll make you dumplings tonight.” Cheng Lydia giggled as he was tickled.

“Really?”

“Really.”

“That’s more like it.” Shen Ron released her.

Cheng Lydia had just said that no one here knew her, when she turned around and saw a man standing not far away whom she not only knew, but had been close to – Lim Toby!

The smile on her face stalled, and her body stiffened.

To Lim Toby’s side stood Feng Ann, who already had a bulging belly, both of them with quiet expressions, and had obviously been standing there for a while.

Lim Toby has lost some weight and looks less vibrant than before, while Feng Ann, perhaps because she is pregnant with twins, has a belly that looks six or seven months old, and is wearing a beautiful maternity dress and has a much fatter figure than before, making her happy and enviable.

She just stared fixedly at Feng Ann, the happy woman.

She suddenly remembered how she had almost caused Miss Ling to miscarry when she met her in the café at Gu Ishara’s. If she had been more ruthless and sprinkled a handful of pearls under Feng Ann’s feet, then Feng Ann’s belly would not have grown as round as it is now.

A woman who destroys someone’s family is inherently unforgivable, so why should she be softhearted? If she had been ruthless, maybe Lim Toby would have given up on her and come around from there …

Cheng Lydia’s heart tightened a little, what was she thinking? How could such unrealistic thoughts arise?

A man can’t change his mind, can he? She doesn’t love him or resent him now, does she?

He has his happy little life, she has her good times, isn’t that nice?

“What? Still want to catch up on old times?” Shen Ron breathed in her ear.

Cheng Lydia returned to her senses, uncomfortably withdrawing her gaze from the already departing duo and looking down to sort out her shopping cart.

Lim Toby never used to go to the mall, just like Shen Ron, but now he’s actually following the example of other family men who go to the mall with their beloved ones, so it seems that he is truly devoted to Feng Ann.

“Let’s go back.” She looked up and came into contact with Shen Ron’s clearly unpleasant gaze.

The discomfort on Shen Ron’s face disappeared extremely quickly though, and he turned to lead the way in the direction of the cash register.

He knew that Cheng Lydia had been pining after Lim Toby, and he knew that he was in no position to control her; after all, leaving aside the agreement on the flesh face, he himself had not even died for Yang June. But he still felt a sourness in his heart at the sight of Cheng Lydia’s smitten gaze on Lim Toby.

Inside the mall, Lim Toby’s eyes followed Cheng Lydia until she got into Shen Ron’s car and left.

To his side, Feng Ann withdrew her gaze from the doorway to him and asked sourly, “You’re not regretting it, are you?”

“How?” Lim Toby smiled at her, “Want to buy anything else?”

“No, let’s go back.” Feng Ann walked with him on her arm to the cashier to wait for the bill.

“It seems like they’re getting along well.” Feng Ann said suddenly after a moment of deep silence.

“Hmm.”

“That’s what you get for blaming yourself.”

“I know, I won’t regret it, don’t worry.” Lim Toby patted her small hand and looked at her stomach with a serious face, “I’ll be by your side and the baby’s until the end of life.”

“Really?”

“Have I ever lied to you?”

Feng Ann was a little more at ease and smiled with a happy face as she clung to his side, “No matter what happens in the future, I will love you and the baby for the rest of my life too.”

“Thanks.” Lim Toby was moved to embrace her tightly.

In the evening, Cheng Lydia made a big plate of dumplings at Shen Ron’s request and dinner was settled.

Seeing him eating so well, Cheng Lydia asked suspiciously, “Why do you like steamed dumplings alone?”

Shen Ron glanced up at her from his noodle bowl and just smiled.

“What? Can’t even talk about that?” Cheng Lydia’s expression was speechless, this man was hiding too many secrets in his heart too, right?

“It’s not that I can’t say it, it’s that I’m afraid you won’t like it if I do.”

“You can talk about it.”

“Are you sure you want to hear it?”

“Hmm.”

“Because June she likes to make dumpling strips that taste similar to the ones you make.”

Cheng Lydia’s face did change slightly and she stopped talking.

Shen Ron, however, continued to speak, “I stayed at June’s house for a while after I got out of the hospital that year, and she used to make me dumpling strips for dinner.”

“Isn’t she the Yang family’s daughter? I can’t believe she knows how to do the kitchen?”

“She only knows how to make dumplings, having learned them from her mamma.”

“Oh.” Cheng Lydia nodded and put down her chopsticks, instantly finding the bowl of dumplings tasteless.

I thought I finally had a little something to get Shen Ron’s approval, but I didn’t expect it to be Yang June’s fault in the end, so it seems she’ll have to live in Yang June’s shadow for the rest of her life.

“Why aren’t you eating?” Shen Ron looked at her.

“I had a snack with Gu Ishara this afternoon and was a little full.”
