Chapter 160
The Shen Family was getting ready for dinner when Yang June arrived home.
When Shen Ron came down the stairs and saw her, he immediately quickened his pace downstairs and greeted her with a concerned look on his face, “Where have you been? And the phone isn’t working?
“I’m off to see Lydia.” Yang June pulled her phone from inside her bag and wondered, “Can’t I get through to my cell phone? It’s probably out of battery.”
“It’s okay, it’s good to be back.” Shen Ron stroked the top of her head and then asked, “How’s Lydia doing?”
Yang June nodded, “Quite well, having moved on from the miscarriage.”
“That’s fine.” Shen Ron was slightly silent and took his hand, “Next time you go out you can ask me to accompany you.”
“Really?” Yang June rejoiced, “Then how about we go on holiday this weekend?”
“Yeah, where do you want to go?”
“Well … I haven’t thought about it yet.”
As soon as Yang June’s words left her mouth, Shen Belle’s joking voice came from the spiral staircase: “It’s not enough for you to take us on a trip without your brother and sister-in-law, is it?”
The duo downstairs twisted their heads to look at Even as Shen Ron smiled, “June and I are going on vacation, so of course I can’t take you.”
“See, it’s so inadequate to have a wife and not want a sister.” Shen Belle feigned an unhappy Takako pouting.
Yang June was busy saying, “Actually, I prefer the crowds, so why don’t we take Belle with us?”
“It’s still your sister-in-law’s generosity, look at you, you cheapskate.” Shen Belle laughed and looked at Shen Ron before turning to Yang June, “Sister-in-law, I’m just kidding, how can I be a light bulb for you guys.”
“It’s okay.” Yang June took her small hand and deliberately lowered the volume with a sincere face, “Belle, I was actually going to ask you a favor, hoping you could persuade Grandma and Mom to come along and we could all have a fun day of swimming together. Maybe once we’re happy, Grandma will forgive me and treat me like family.”
“Ron, do you think I’m right?” Yang June turned to Shen Ron.
Shen Ron nodded, “Good, we haven’t hung out as a family in a while.”
“No problem, I’ll take care of the problem of convincing Grandma and Mom.” Shen Belle tapped her chest and then asked, “By the way, where are we going to play?”
“Grandma is too old to go too far, so find a place close by that is suitable for both the elderly and the young.” Yang June said.
“So … we’ll go to the South Beach Resort?” Shen Belle said.
“Yes, you can fish, see the sea, take another boat ride, and eat seafood at Nanchong Resort.” Shen Ron turned his head and asked Yang June, “June, what do you think?”
Yang June nodded, “For seafood? Sure.”
“Well, let’s wait for Grandma and Mom to agree on the details then, now it’s time to eat.”
“Okay, I’ll go back to my room and change into a set of clothes.” Yang June finished and spread a smile at the two of them, turning around and heading upstairs.
Yang June returned to her bedroom to change her clothes and was about to go downstairs for dinner when she remembered that she should call Mrs. Yang, as she picked up her phone and dialed Mrs. Yang’s number.
“Did you get the message?” As soon as she got on the phone, Mrs. Yang spoke up and asked.
“Roger that, thanks mom.” Yang June said.
“Just receive it, and remember to delete it after you read it.”
“I know, I’ve deleted it.”
“Also, whenever there is water in this period, you try to stay away from it, remember?” Mrs. Yang reminded in a serious manner.
Yang June opened her mouth and there was a moment of silence before she nodded, “Mom, I know.”
Just as she stepped through the gate of Shen Mansion, Yang June received a message from Mrs. Yang reminding her that twenty minutes earlier Shen Belle had spoken to a man on the phone and asked the man what she was most afraid of, and the man’s reply to her was ‘water’.
Yes, Yang June’s fear of water is something most of the Yang family knows since she saw Cheng Lydia fall into the sea with her own eyes.
“Always keep an eye out for that vicious woman.” Lady Yang warned worriedly.
“Don’t worry, mom.” Yang June eagerly ended the call saying, “That’s it mom, I’m going down to dinner.”
After hanging up the phone, Yang June held the phone in her hand and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a long time, her mind in a daze.
It wasn’t until Shen Ron knocked on the door that she snapped out of her daze.
“What’s wrong?” Shen Ron had to look for her when she came downstairs, only to find her standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a state of distraction when she entered, so he was inevitably worried.
“I’m fine.” Yang June shook her head and joined him downstairs for dinner.
In the evening, Shen Belle was excited to tell Yang June and Shen Ron the good news that the old lady had agreed to go to the vacation village for two days.
After Shen Belle left, Shen Ron sat on the sofa to study the map and entertainment of the Nanchong Resort, while Yang June poured a glass of water in front of him and sat beside him to gaze fixedly at the side of his handsome face.
His hair was a little damp, hanging diagonally at the corners of his forehead, and his features were so three-dimensional and sexy that Yang June couldn’t help but look a little smitten.
“June, do you think it would be better to arrange for Grandma to live in a cottage or a log cabin?” Shen Ron turned his head and saw her staring fixedly at herself with an infatuated gaze. As she smiled slightly, she lifted her finger and flicked it on her forehead, “What’s wrong? Did my face bloom?”
Yang June smiled sweetly, “It’s better than blossoming.”
“Is that so?” Shen Ron rubbed his handsome face.
“Of course, why else would so many women be infatuated with you.”
“I don’t need too many women to obsess over, just one of you is enough.” Shen Ron reached his arm over her shoulder and kissed her on the forehead, turning his eyes back to the map and pointing to the row of houses on it, “Look at all the wooden houses here, they look chic, I just don’t know if Grandma likes living on the beach.”
Yang June quietly rested her head on his shoulder and followed his finger to the map, which was so complex she couldn’t read it and didn’t care to look at it.
“You can ask Grandma about that.” She responded casually, her mind, not on the map, not on this rare trip, not on the cabin or the cottage.
“That’s fine, I’ll ask Grandma tomorrow.” Shen Ron put away the map and looked down at her, “It’s late, get some rest.”
“It’s not late, I don’t want to sleep yet.”
“So what do you want to do if you don’t sleep?”
“Well …” Yang June thought for a moment, “Will you watch a movie with me?”
“Good.” Shen Ron grabbed the crank and turned on the TV, bringing up the movie library, which was full of the latest releases.
Yang June casually pointed a finger at a romance film on the home page, “Just this one.”
Shen Ron is not a fan of romance movies, but he hits play anyway. yang June is fascinated by his doting, and she leans into his body, feeling warm and fuzzy inside.
Shen Ron, on the other hand, was surprised by her extra clingy look tonight and twisted his head to take a closer look at her.
She had been so afraid of being close to him before that she was uncomfortable even when he kissed her, but tonight instead of pushing him away, she took the initiative to be close to him?
“What’s wrong? Did my face bloom too?” Yang June looked up at him and smiled.
“It’s better than a bloom.” Shen Ron smiled and sent her the same reply.
“Really?” Yang June asked.
“Really, I can’t get enough of it.”
Yang June smiled warmly and leaned her head back against his shoulder, “It feels so good to cuddle up with you and watch a movie.”
“That’s satisfying?”
“Hmm.”
“I’ll go to the cinema with you some day.” Shen Ron smiled and stroked her head.
“Just tomorrow night, okay?”
“Okay, you said it.”
Yang June nodded, “Tomorrow I’m going back to my mom’s house for the day, we’re going to the movies in the evening, and the morning after we’re going on a trip to a cabin, it’s so nice, the schedule is full.”
“Well, I’ll pick you up there directly after work tomorrow.”
“Good.” Yang June nodded.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Since it was so late, Yang June leaned on Shen Ron’s shoulder for a while to watch the movie, and sleep came over her and she drifted off.
Sensing her quietness, Shen Ron looked down and realized she had fallen asleep. A doting smile spread across his lips as his long, slender fingers gently brushed over her quiet sleeping face, then used the remote control to press off less than a quarter of the movie he had watched.
Shen Ron carefully carried Yang June to the bed, pulled the covers back for her, and sat on the edge of her bed watching her for a long time before getting up and leaving.
Mrs. Yang surveyed Yang June for a long time before she asked, “Did I hear you right? You’re going with Shen Ron and the others to Nan Chong Resort? And Shen Belle will also go with you?”
Yang June nodded, “Yes, so I need my mom to help me with this.”
“You did you manage to trick Shen Belle into going to the yacht?”
“Just try it and find out.”
“What if this doesn’t work? How dangerous.” Mrs. Yang shook her head, “No, I can’t let you take that risk.”
“Mama …” Yang June walked over to Mrs. Yang’s side and put her arm around her and shook her up, “The night is long, if I don’t do something soon, she’ll do something to me, don’t you want to get rid of her as soon as possible so Ron and I can live well for the rest of our lives?”
“Just leave the getting rid of Shen Belle to me, no need for you to worry about it.”
“But I really think this is a great opportunity.”
“Nanchong Resort is on the sea, Shen Belle will go on vacation with you guys, she must be trying to do something against you, maybe she’ll already push you into the sea and drown before you can make a move.”
“Mom, don’t worry, since I already know about her trickery, I’ll naturally be careful to watch out for her. I will not leave Ron’s side for a moment when we get there, even if she gets me into the water then, there is Ron who will save me.” Yang June smiled with an adoring face, “Ron’s water is very good, all I won’t be in any danger.”
After thinking about it, Mrs. Yang shook her head, “No, I’m still not sure.”
“Mom, I promise I’ll be very, very careful.” Yang June continued to pout, “Just help me.”
Mrs. Yang was still hesitating, and Yang June was busy saying, “Then we have a deal.” After saying that, she stood up from the sofa, “Come on, mom, let’s go out shopping.”
“What’s the point of shopping if you’re not buying anything.” Mrs. Yang’s thoughts were still engrossed in the incident just now, and she only looked up at her askance, not rising.
“You can shop without buying anything.” Yang June grinned and pulled her up from the couch, “Besides, it’s been a while since people have shopped with their moms.”
Hearing her daughter say this, Mrs. Yang’s heart softened and she finally agreed.
And Yang June, who saw her mother nod, smiled gleefully and took her mother by the arm and headed for the door.
The mother and daughter got into the car and the bodyguard and driver drove the pair in the direction of the downtown area.
It had indeed been a long time since mother and daughter had shopped together, and Mrs. Yang smiled happily as she looked at her daughter, who could once again be alive and well and pick out clothes to try on everywhere.
Looking at her daughter’s happy back, she said in her heart, June, I will make you happy for the rest of your life.
“Mom, come over and look, this necklace suits you.” As she walked to the accessories section, Yang June turned her head with a cheerful face and waved at Mrs. Yang.
Mrs. Yang walked up with a smile and said, “Mother is not short of jewelry.”
“Just take a look, consider it a gift from me, I haven’t bought you any jewelry in my whole life.” Yang June said and gestured at the attendant, who immediately took the necklace out from inside the counter.
Yang June took the necklace from the waiter’s hand and put it on for Mrs. Yang, and the waiter duly handed up the mirror with a smile, “Auntie, your daughter is so kind to you.”
Mrs. Yang smiled and patted Yang June’s shoulder, her eyes couldn’t hide her smugness, “Of course, I only have one daughter, who will honor me if she doesn’t?”
“That’s a good point haha.” The waiter smiled and nodded.
Yang June hung her head, a flash of guilt in her eyes, then smiled and asked, “How’s that? Does mom like the necklace?”
“It’s looking good.”
“Then take it.”
“It’s just …” Mrs. Yang scowled at Yang June, “Mom keeps forgetting to ask you, do you have money to spend now?”
“Mom, look at how good Ron is to me, how can I not have any money to spend?” Yang June dried out a gold card from her wallet and waved it in front of her, “No limit, spend it however I want.”
“Then I’ll be polite.” Mrs. Yang rushed to the service lady, “Write the ticket for me.”
“Yes, please wait a moment.” The waiter went off happily to open the ticket.
After buying the jewelry, Yang June accompanied Mrs. Yang for afternoon tea until after five o’clock when she sent Mrs. Yang to her car to go back first, while she herself was just waiting for Shen Ron to come and pick herself up at the roadside.
Ten minutes later Shen Ron pulled up to the curb and watched as she got in and surveyed her empty-handed, “Why did you shop all afternoon and get nothing?”
“I wasn’t planning to buy anything, just a casual stroll.” Yang June pulled her seat belt and said, “By the way, I bought my mom a diamond necklace and swiped your card.”
“Well, I saw the message.”
“You’re not upset, are you?”
“How come? Do you see me as that petty?” Shen Ron gave her a look askance.
“No.” Yang June shook her head and hemmed and hawed.
“That’s right.” Shen Ron finished and asked instead, “By the way, what do you want for dinner? We’ll eat and then go watch a movie.”
“How about Western food?”
“Good.”
“I’ll order candles to eat.”
“Why?” Shen Ron asked with a smile.
“Romance, stupid!”
“Oh.” Shen Ron smiled shyly, “I always thought you weren’t that romantic.”
“Romance once in a while.”
“Okay.” Shen Ron took out his phone and started making reservations.
The car drove to the entrance of a high-end western restaurant, and a waiter immediately came to lead the two of them into the private room.
The private room of the Noble has candlelight, red wine, roses and a violinist, the melodious tunes and dim lights mingle with each other, the roses are fragrant, the whole atmosphere is intoxicatingly romantic.
