Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

Chapter 45



Cheng Lydia sulked out of her sleep as the warm sun was rising.

Unlike before, she wakes up to see not Shen Ron’s always tight face, but Gu William with a gentle smile.

Gu William was standing in front of her bed, no longer dressed in the same clothes as yesterday, with a glowing face, and no idea when he had entered.

“Awake?” The smile on Gu William’s lips deepened once as he gazed at her.

“Did I oversleep?” Cheng Lydia slowly sat up from the bed and casually scratched the messy hair from her head.

“I’m the one who got up early, it’s none of your business.”

Cheng Lydia glanced at the schedule on the wall, six forty, twenty minutes left before the end of the day and night agreed with him.

“I didn’t do anything out of character last night … did I?” She glanced down at the robe she was wearing and thankfully, the bow on it was still the way she had originally tied it.

“No, you’re a good drinker, and you sleep quietly when you’re drunk.”

Is that so? She sleeps quietly when she’s drunk? But Shen Ron clearly said she looks horrible when she’s drunk.

“You don’t even know how cute you look when you’re asleep, it almost made me lose control.” Gu William added.

Cheng Lydia laughed in embarrassment, while a big stone fell in her heart, did he say that to mean that nothing had happened between her and him last night?

Rumor has it that Gu William plays with women like he changes clothes and doesn’t show any mercy, but from last night it seems that Gu William isn’t as bad as she thought.

“We’re no longer working together in seventeen minutes, so hurry up and elaborate on whatever you have to elaborate on, and hurry up and summarize whatever you have to summarize.” She said as she gazed at him.

Gu William took a step forward and extended his hand at her, “I just have one thing to say, it was a pleasure working with you this time and I hope to have the opportunity to work together again next time.”

Cheng Lydia slapped his palm down, “There won’t be a next time, Master Gu.”Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Gu William laughed.

She laughed along with him.

The two had breakfast inside the villa and at the table, Cheng Lydia smiled and said to Gu William, “Can I borrow your phone for a moment?”

“Yes.” Gu William handed over his cell phone.

Cheng Lydia took his phone, opened the album and found it full of single pictures of her, all taken yesterday. There were no more pictures in there besides hers.

She tapped her thumb on the clear button and emptied the entire album of its contents.

After breakfast, the two men went to their respective rooms to gather their simple belongings and met again in the second floor sitting room.

Cheng Lydia was standing at the floor-to-ceiling window watching a private helicopter slowly land when Gu William approached, followed her gaze to the landing helicopter and asked, “Is it ready to go?”

Cheng Lydia nodded, “Yes.”

The two men changed their shoes and were ready to leave the villa when they did.

Gu William stretched his arms out at her and said with a big smile, “Be my date for one last minute.”

“Remember, it’s last minute.” Cheng Lydia grinned and thrust her wrist into the crook of his arm as they walked together toward the cottage door.

When the two of them walked out of the villa, Cheng Lydia was stunned by a figure that appeared in front of the villa, and the hand in the crook of Gu William’s arm was quickly withdrawn like an electric shock, staring at the unexpected appearance of Shen Ron in a daze.

You can tell by the shocked and not at all surprised look on Shen Ron’s face that he came all the way over here to catch an adulterer!

Cheng Lydia stared at him and opened her mouth, but couldn’t spit out a word.

What should she say to him at this time? Even if she told him that she and Gu William were only lovers by agreement, he might not believe her, right?

Compared to Cheng Lydia’s panic, Gu William looked calm after a slight surprise, looked sideways at Cheng Lydia, then at Shen Ron, and finally spat out four words with a smile, “What a coincidence, Ron.”

Back when he had just seen the helicopter, he had recognized it as the one Shen had been keeping at LS City Airport, he just didn’t expect Shen Ron to show up so quickly and find out where they were at once.

“Not a coincidence at all.” Shen Ron stepped forward and gazed coldly at Cheng Lydia and said, “My dear, may I ask if you’re cuckolding me for the winter?”

“Not …”

“So you can’t live without a man?” Shen Ron yanked her into the crook of his arm and held her in a death grip. From his rigid frame, Cheng Lydia could sense that he was angry at the moment.

She frowned slightly, squirming and swabbing her body in an attempt to break free from his arms.

“Shen Ron, what do you want? Hurry up and let go of her.” Gu William shouted coldly.

The more nervous he was about Cheng Lydia, the more annoyed Shen Ron became, and he laughed grimly, “Master Gu, I will make you understand once and for all that you are never qualified to interfere and cannot interfere in matters between me and my wife. What do I want? You really want to know what I want at this moment that badly? Then I’ll let you know clearly.”

After saying that, Shen Ron tightened his arm that was circling Cheng Lydia’s shoulder with force and forced his arm around her towards the inside of the villa.

“Shen Ron, what are you doing? You let go of me so I can explain to you.” Cheng Lydia growled low in exasperation.

“Explain what? Explain how much you can’t stay away from men?” Shen Ron snorted coldly, “Only unfortunately, no amount of brilliant explanations will be enough to quench the anger in my heart at this moment.”

As he finished speaking, Shen Ron pushed her into the vacant bedroom on the first floor, then turned around to block Gu William, who was in a hurry to follow him in the doorway, and looked at him askance, “Master Gu, you can just listen here, no need to come in.”

“What the hell are you trying to do?” Gu William pressed his hand against the door panel.

“Repeated conjugal duties, are you going to come in here and watch?” Shen Ron laughed mockingly, and while he was dumbfounded flung his hand to close and lock the door of the room tightly.

Cheng Lydia stood in the corner of the room, staring at him with a terrified expression.

A furious Shen Ron is still scary!

However, the more frightened she acted, the more Shen Ron felt that she was hypocritical and pretentious, and the anger in his heart grew hotter and hotter. He rushed up and pulled her out of the corner and threw her on the bed, followed by bullying her onto her body.

The dress on her collar ripped under his rough tug, and his relentless and exasperated words were in her ears, “What are you pretending for? Would a bitch who could even do something as scandalous as cheat on her husband behind her back still be terrified of such a thing?”

“Shen Ron, don’t you do that?” Cheng Lydia struggled and pushed against his arms, but her hands were pushed above her head by Shen Ron and fastened tightly to the soft bed, not giving her a chance to struggle.

He leaned in, his handsome face almost against hers, and gritted his teeth, “Don’t what? Like this?” He took the softness of her breasts in one hand, moving without gentleness.

Cheng Lydia sucked in her breath as he pinched her and whimpered a plea, “Don’t …”

“Why not, wasn’t that how he caressed you and kissed you last night?”

“No! He didn’t, didn’t do anything, and he’s not as shameless as you are …!”

“Is that so? I’m more shameless than him, right?” Shen Ron laughed in exasperation, “I’m your husband, Cheng Lydia, and I’m no more shameless than I am legal and honorable. I don’t need to sneak around and hide in An City like you do, much less cover my tracks with all kinds of lies.”

“I said we didn’t do anything!”

“A lone man and a woman in the same room, huh …” Shen Ron obviously didn’t believe her.

“Shen Ron!” Cheng Lydia finally got angry and glared at him with hatred in her eyes, “You’re the one who said I could find another man! You’re also the one who said we don’t interfere with each other’s personal lives!”

“But did I also say no getting too close to men out there? At least wait until after the baby is born before you can have sex?”

“I’ve said many times that I didn’t do things with him that I shouldn’t!” Cheng Lydia bit her lip and complained tearfully, “Why is it that you can stay by Yang June’s side all night long, but I can’t go out for a walk and travel with another man?”

“Finally admitting that you cheated?” After hearing her words, Shen Ron’s heart suddenly tightened and he became more and more fired up.

He’d much rather hear her deny her relationship with Gu William over and over than hear her loosely admit it, and even he didn’t understand why he felt this strange.

Is it true, as Ye Max said, that he has gradually started to care for her a little? Is that why he used a helicopter to chase her to An Cheng overnight when he saw the photo of her and Gu William?

How is that possible? It’s absolutely impossible!

What he cares about, is that sense of defeat that he lost to Gu William, he wouldn’t have given up Yang June to him back then, and he won’t give up this woman to him today, even if it’s a woman he doesn’t like, a woman he doesn’t want!

When he took control of Cheng Lydia’s body with his own, Cheng Lydia finally stopped all unnecessary struggles and parted her face, with his ruthless and cold words in her ears, “You want to talk to me about equality? Don’t you look at your own status? Don’t look at yourself to see if you have the qualifications? Never try to match June’s weight, or you’ll only be making a fool of yourself. Do you think Gu William really likes you? He picked you up because you look like his long-time crush, June. He’s been holding a grudge because he couldn’t steal June from me back then, that’s why he’s running out to steal you today. He wants to win me so badly. He can’t always lose in this life, can he? Wait until the day he plays you to the ground and throws you to the curb, then you will understand that all the beautiful dreams you have experienced are just a nightmare …”

At first Cheng Lydia could hear what he was saying, and her heart ached for it. In the later stages, gradually the whole body and mind fell into a puzzlement.

This feeling is too abrasive.

She had never known that she was so unashamedly vile and without an ounce of self-control when it came to such things i. e. too.

It’s Shen Ron who’s too good at tossing people around, it must be!

It was as if a century had passed …

With his hatred deflated, Shen Ron stood beside the bed, looking at Cheng Lydia, draped and disheveled, sprawled softly on the bed, the contempt on his face reappeared: “Last night, were you also so satisfied that you didn’t want to move? Or is Gu William better than me? Is it worth you traveling so far to An Cheng to cheat on him?”

Cheng Lydia was lying on her back, her hands clutching the white silk quilt, her eyelids slightly dozed as two bean-sized teardrops rolled down her face.

The physical soreness and weakness was no match for the sadness in her heart, and she just lay motionless on the bed.

And her silence, in Shen Ron’s eyes, was acquiescence, silent acquiescence.

He dressed slowly and methodically, then turned and walked behind the door, pulling it open as he did so.

Sure enough, Gu William is still around, always has been.

A dense layer of cigarette butts was scattered around his feet. It was obvious that he had been standing outside for as long as he and Cheng Lydia had been doing it inside.

“I didn’t realize Master Gu had a penchant for eavesdropping on people doing private things.” Shen Ron scowled at him with a look of mockery covering his features before stepping past him and striding towards the drinking fountain in the living room.

Little by little, Gu William clenched and unclenched his clenched fist, a look of annoyance, but more helplessness, covering his face.

Yes, there is no help …

Shen Ron is Lydia’s husband and it’s his right to toss him around in bed any way he wants, so what if he’s furious and beats him up violently? Shen Ron won’t let that change his attitude towards Cheng Lydia.

The only thing he could do now was to pull the clothes off her body in layers.

“Do you still like it when I’m this wretched and disgraced?” Cheng Lydia gave a self-deprecating, bitter laugh.

“I like you in all shapes and sizes at all times.” Gu William took off the coat he was wearing and covered her, her clothes having been torn by Shen Ron and unable to avoid her body.

“Like I said, Shen Ron will one day regret what he did to you.”

As Gu William said this, Shen Ron, who was leaning lazily and idly on the living room sofa drinking water, paused slightly in his movements and then smiled noncommittally.

The heels of his legs sank as he set down his glass of water and stood up from the couch to head inside.

“Have you had enough goodbyes? If you’ve had enough, hurry home.” He stepped forward and pulled Cheng Lydia from the bed and into the crook of his arm. He walked out of the bedroom and out of the villa under Gu William’s pain-filled gaze.

Sitting in the window seat of the private plane, Cheng Lydia’s hands were clutching the collar of her coat, not knowing whether it was because her body was cold or because she was shivering at Shen Ron’s heart.

In the front cockpit, Shen Ron is wearing a headset to steer the plane.

As the plane sailed smoothly through the clouds, with the turquoise sea beneath her, a bad idea came to Cheng Lydia’s mind and she rushed up to the cockpit, interrupting all cabin signals before he had time to react and dying with him in the vast ocean beneath her.

She gave a jolt, jumping at her paranoid thoughts. How could she think that? How could she possibly go to her death, and for a man like that!
