Remarriage to a Rich Famliy

“Then give me another mango flavored ice cream ball.” She hedged, gesturing to the cup holding the ice cream ball in front of her.

Shen Ron raised his hand and beckoned the waiter to order her an ice cream ball.

Cheng Lydia glanced at the time, 8:40, it was almost time for the meteor shower to arrive. She got up from her chair and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window.

Looking out from this angle and height, you can see the whole LS City and the night view is not worse than Tokyo’s.

The stars were bright, the night was dazzling, and instead of getting drunk on the two glasses of wine, she looked like she was about to get drunk on the beauty of it all.

“Your ice cream ball.” Shen Ron took his place at her side and handed her the cup with the ice cream ball in his hand.

Cheng Lydia took the ice cream ball, scooped it up with a small spoon and handed it to his mouth with a smile, “Try it, it’s delicious.”

Shen Ron ducked to the side and didn’t avoid it, so he had to open his mouth and take it.

It was fragrant and soft, not as sweet as one would expect, but once it was in his mouth he knew it was a taste a girl would love, he smiled, “Not bad.”

“Take another bite.” Cheng Lydia gave him another scoop.

“You eat it yourself.”

“I’ve just eaten so much already.” Cheng Lydia said this but still sent a spoonful into her mouth.

At this moment, they were like a normal couple of lovers, sharing the same ice cream while watching the night scene hand in hand. Every action was carried out so naturally and so rightfully.

Cheng Lydia even put the finished ice cream cup into his hands and went off to watch the night.

Shen Ron beckoned the waiter to remove the cups and listened as she pointed here and there with an excited look on her face and said, “Isn’t that Yarn Hospital over there? It looks so close, and we just took so long to walk.”

“Stand tall and see far.”

“That’s Taian Residence over there, right?” Cheng Lydia pointed to the piece of property in the distance.

Shen Ron nodded patiently, “Yes, where you live every day.”

“And there’s Shen Mansion, it looks and feels so small from here, and over there …” Cheng Lydia’s voice lightened as her fingers paused, ” … is The Lim Family villa.”

The Lim Family … She hasn’t been there in a while.

“And over there, it’s the Gu family’s century-old mansion.” Shen Ron pointed to a mansion on the edge of another area, “I don’t suppose you’ve been there?”

“No …” Cheng Lydia shook her head, not understanding if he meant to or not.

A shooting star streaked across the sky and fleetingly started the night with a shooting star.

“The meteors are coming.” Cheng Lydia murmured softly as she tilted her small face slightly and gazed at the night sky that had regained its tranquility.

They stood tall, so they could naturally see clearly and far, and Shen Ron glanced in the direction where the meteor had disappeared, surveying Cheng Lydia, who had a calm face.

He thought she would be like the other girls who saw a shooting star and started to cheer and make a wish, even the waitress who had a job couldn’t help but cheer and make a wish secretly, but she was extraordinarily calm.

“Why don’t you make a wish?” He asked suspiciously.

Cheng Lydia smiled, “I don’t believe that shooting stars can really make wishes come true.”

“Of course you can’t, but don’t girls believe in it.”

“I only believe it’s the sweeping star that brings bad luck.” A gloomy look filled her eyes as she whispered, “The night I woke up from the hospital five years ago, it was also raining meteors outside my window, and I was so elated that I made the same wish countless times to the shooting star, hoping it would help me regain my memory, but until today, I couldn’t remember a single moment of the past, instead I received the news that my mother was critically ill the next day.”

Shen Ron looked at the side of her face shrouded in sadness; he rarely heard her talk about the past and rarely asked her about it. Because he knew her past had never been associated with happiness and couldn’t bear to let her look back on it.

“Not every time is that tragic, maybe this one will come true?” He smiled, hoping she would move on from the sadness of her past.

Cheng Lydia looked up at him, didn’t he not believe in meteors either?

“Try it?” He encouraged.

Countless shooting stars streaked across the sky and Cheng Lydia closed her eyes.

She had so many wishes she wanted to fulfill, she wanted her mother’s surgery to be successful, she wanted Chung Grace to forgive her, she wanted her pregnancy to be successful, and she wanted … herself to be with Shen Ron for the rest of her life.

All these wishes are too hard to grant, and since they are too hard, how about an easier one!

I hope I wake up tomorrow morning with Shen Ron by my side. That’s not too hard to wish for, is it? I’m sure it will come true, right?

She dropped her praying hands and watched more shooting stars cross the sky.

His soft voice inquired in his ear, “What did you wish for?”

“Not telling you.” She said.

“Does it have something to do with me?”

She only smiled, not saying anything.

Her whole life was already tied to him, wasn’t it?

On the riverfront.

Countless young men and women cheered at the meteor showers that crossed the sky from time to time.

As Shen Ron said, it doesn’t matter if it’s real or not and if it can help grant wishes, as long as it’s a girl almost always likes it.

Chung Grace was one of these girls, standing on the riverfront, the cold wind brushing her hair on her face, but she didn’t feel the cold.

Hands closed solidly, eyes dozing shut, she wished for just as much a bit more.

Beside her, the quiet-faced Gu William’s handsome face was slightly tilted up, watching the occasional shooting star passing across the sky.

The figure was elegant, dressed in high-class designer clothes, and the crowd silently showed off its nobility, and from time to time, girls passing by cast fascinated glances at him.

A man so perfect that once upon a time he lived only in the depths of their dreams, untouchable.

Chung Grace dropped her hands and turned to look at Gu William with a smile, “Do you want to know what I wished for?”

“What?” He withdrew his gaze, cast far into the sky, to Chung Grace’s bright face.

“Do you really want to know?”

He smiled, “I heard that wishes don’t work when you say them.”

“My wish is simple, I hope you’ll still be with me for the next meteor shower.” She said twisting her head around and asking, “Do you think it will come true?”

He knew then that her wish must have something to do with him.

After a pause, she replied, “Who knows? Only time will tell what will happen later.”

“Says so.” Chung Grace turned back around.

Gu William had been surprised and content to accompany her to the crowded riverfront to watch the meteor shower.

She thought she would spend the night alone, nestled in her house alone looking through the pictures of Gu William and Cheng Lydia on her phone, she received calls and texts from Cheng Lydia, but ignored them all.

She knew Cheng Lydia was innocent and believed she had no intentions towards Gu William, but subconsciously she just didn’t want to talk to her, didn’t want to see her. Was it avoidance? Maybe, she couldn’t even tell if she resented Gu William or Cheng Lydia anymore.

When Gu William called tonight and asked if she wanted to see a meteor shower, she could hardly believe her ears. Gu William, who hadn’t contacted her since the reunion broke up, suddenly offered to accompany her to the river to see the meteor shower? It was such a big surprise that she agreed to it without even thinking about it.

It’s her dream to keep this man!

Across the river, the top floor of the Tiandu Building is lit up and towers above the clouds.

“It is said that the Tiandu Mansion is being packed tonight.” Chung Grace gazed at the penthouse of the building with an envious face, “I wonder which girl is so happy and so lucky?”

“You want to know who it is?”

“Kind of want to.”

“It’s your best friend.”

“Who?” Stunned, Chung Grace looked at him in surprise and asked, “Lydia?”

“Hmm.” Gu William looked out with her to the top floor of the Skydome. There, there was the woman he liked spending quality time with other men.

It was a fact he didn’t want to face, but had to.

“I thought Shen Ron didn’t have Lydia in mind,” Chung Grace lamented.

It seems she was the one who misunderstood, thanks to the fact that she was always urging Lydia to leave Shen Ron before.

“I’m for no, too.” He smiled bitterly.

“So what? You’ll make them whole?”

“What’s the point of not being whole?” He shrugged helplessly.

He originally intended to snatch Cheng Lydia from Shen Ron’s hands, but after the incident at An Cheng Resort, he realized once and for all that Shen Ron and Cheng Lydia were husband and wife in name only, and his meddling would only cause Cheng Lydia to suffer Shen Ron’s misunderstanding and punishment.

Fearing that Cheng Lydia will be abused by Shen Ron because of himself, he has to let go of the pain and try to fall in love with another woman and stay away from her.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Now it seems she’s starting to move towards happiness and he can let go of her for good.

“If you’ve decided to let go, why can’t you open your heart and try to love me?” She stared at him, her eyes all thick with anticipation.

“I thought I was trying.” Gu William gave her a clear smile.

Why hadn’t he tried? He thought Chung Grace was Cheng Lydia’s best friend and that he would feel differently about her than other women and would slowly fall in love with her.

But that realization proved to be wrong, and he couldn’t love her at all.

“Is that so? I’m that unappealing?” She turned around to face him, her slender arms hooked around his neck, closing the distance between her and him, “All this time, wherever Lydia and I went, men’s eyes would always fall on me first, only you. Why? Is it because she has the same face as Yang June …?”

“Nothing to do with Yang June.” He shook his head a little.

“Is that so? So you truly love her?”

“Yes.”

“Gu William, will you stop being so honest?” Chung Grace puffed up her little mouth and glared at him, “Don’t you know that women need to be coaxed by lies?”
