Chapter 181
As the car drove down the road, Shen Ron glanced at Cheng Lydia in the rearview mirror and asked, “Where do you live?”
“Taianju.” Cheng Lydia replied.
Shen Ron froze for a moment, twisting his head in surprise and sweeping her up.
Cheng Lydia was busy saying, “It was the hospital that arranged my stay and I only found out about it when I arrived at LS City.”
“So I wasn’t wrong about my feelings that night, someone really did come to our house.” Shen Ron smiled, “So that person was you.”
“You found out.” Cheng Lydia was a little uncomfortable.
“Why? I miss our past so much.” Shen Ron braked the car to the side of the road and turned back to stare at her steadily, “Is that hole in your heart really that deep?”
“Ron …” Cheng Lydia whispered, “Give me a little more time.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.” Shen Ron nodded and restarted the car.
The car came to a stop in front of the F building at Taian Residence and Shen Ron pushed open the door and got out, pulling open the backseat door to let Cheng Lydia out before scooping Isaac into his arms again.
“Ron, it’s getting late, you should go back first.” Cheng Lydia said.
“I’ll walk you up.” Shen Ron led the way to the F building.
The family went upstairs and Cindy, who could hardly wait, came running to the door as soon as she heard the knock. When she saw Isaac in perfect condition, she was so excited that she couldn’t speak, “Oh my God, Isaac was really found, where did you find him?”
Ella scooped Isaac up out of Shen Ron’s arms, “You’re about to scare mommy and Ella, little grandpa, you know that? No running around next time.”
Isaac said with a cheerful face, “Ella, I’m sorry, I found my dad, that’s why I was running around.”
“You found Dad? Where?” Cindy was surprised.
“Here ya go.” Isaac pointed a finger at Shen Ron in the doorway.
Cindy looked up at Shen Ron and the surprise on her face deepened as she sized him up and said with her mouth open, “Isn’t this gentleman … the man we saw on the news the other day? The owner of ‘Happy City’?”
“Hi, I’m Shen Ron,” Shen Ron said, smiling and nodding at her.
“What’s going on?” Cindy turned to Cheng Lydia and lowered her voice.
Cheng Lydia smiled lightly and said, “He’s Isaac’s real father.”
“Huh?” Cindy’s mouth dropped open in shock.
So the little guy she’s been serving is the incognito Crown Prince!
Cheng Lydia added to Shen Ron, “This is Cindy, brought in to help along with Isaac.”
“Cindy worked hard.” Shen Ron said politely.
Cindy scrambled and waved her hands, “No hard work, no hard work, I’m doing it to get paid too.”
“Cindy, why don’t you take Isaac in the shower.” Cheng Lydia said.
“Okay.” Cindy carried Isaac towards the house.
Cheng Lydia turned to Shen Ron, “Want to go in for a glass of water?”
“No, you guys get an early night.” Shen Ron took her hand and smiled, “Don’t wake up tomorrow and you’ve disappeared again.”
“Didn’t you say so? Even if I go to the corner of the cliff and the sea, you will still find me out.” Cheng Lydia smiled lightly, “So, don’t worry, I won’t leave, even if I wanted to, Isaac would be the first to say no.”
Now that Isaac has been allowed to meet his father and grandparents, she can’t selfishly deny him the opportunity to claim his ancestry again.
“Thank you for being able to think that.” Shen Ron cupped her small face and leaned over to place a kiss on her forehead, “I’m off, good night.”
“Be careful on the road.” Cheng Lydia said.
Early the next morning, Cheng Lydia was getting ready to leave the house when she saw Isaac lying on the patio, smiling and raising her voice at him, “Sweetie, Mommy’s going to work, so be good and listen to Ella at home, okay?”
Isaac suddenly cheered, “Yeah! Daddy’s coming to get me!”
He finished whooping and immediately turned and ran in from the terrace and said to Cheng Lydia, “Mum, Dad said he’d come and get me when I woke up from my nap, he didn’t lie to me yeah.”
Cheng Lydia was speechless.
No wonder he’s been sprawled out on the terrace all morning, waiting for his dad to pick him up.
She headed outside the terrace and sure enough, she saw Shen Ron’s car parked downstairs.
“Mom, can we go now?” Isaac asked impatiently.
Cheng Lydia smiled and said to Cindy, “Cindy, why don’t you and Isaac go over to Shen Mansion together.”
“Huh? I’m going to Shen Mansion?” pointed Cindy, “Is that appropriate?”
“The people over there are nice to be around.” Cheng Lydia smiled as she packed Isaac’s things, “The people over there don’t know Isaac’s habits yet, so I’m relieved you’re going.”
With both Mrs. Shen and Shen Belle gone, leaving the old lady and a cadre of servants, there was no longer the hook-ups of the past, or she wouldn’t have felt comfortable sending Isaac there.
“Okay, don’t worry about it, I’ll walk Isaac over there.” Cindy went back inside to change.
As soon as he took the big number, Isaac rushed up with a gleeful look on his face, “Dad …!”
Shen Ron took a few quick steps up and caught his tiny body and lifted him high into the air with a big smile, “Little baby misses Daddy so much.”
Isaac nodded, “Of course, I’ve been waiting for my dad to pick me up.”
“Okay, but Daddy has an emergency at work today, so I’ll have Uncle Li and Ella take you to Grandma’s and play with you when I get back tonight, okay?” Shen Ron asked as he kissed his little cheeks.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
“Good.” Isaac nodded good-naturedly.
Shen Ron then carried him towards a nearby car and put him in the compartment, giving Tom a few words of advice before saying to Cindy, “It’s been too long since the people over at Shen Mansion have taken care of a child, so please let them know if there’s anything they don’t understand.”
“Okay, Mr. Shen.” Cindy followed Isaac to the car.
“Bye Mom and Dad!” Isaac peeks out the car window to shake hands with Shen Ron and Cheng Lydia to say goodbye.
Cheng Lydia smiled and reminded, “When you get over there, you have to listen to your grandma you know?”
“Got it, Isaac will behave.”
As the car slowly pulled out of Taian Residence, Shen Ron turned around with a smile and looked at Cheng Lydia, who was standing off to the side.
“What’s all the laughing about?” Cheng Lydia scowled at him.
“Bye mom and dad …” Shen Ron smiled and repeated Isaac’s goodbye, taking Cheng Lydia by the shoulders, “Never heard a goodbye so moving.”
“Want to be a dad that badly, huh?”
“I just want to be a father to your kids.” Shen Ron swept her towards the Bentley, “Come on, I’ll take you to work.”
“No, it’s easy for me to get over here.”
“Isn’t giving the woman you love a ride to work the most logical thing for a couple to do? Let’s go, don’t push it.” Shen Ron pulled open the passenger side door and motioned for her to get in.
Cheng Lydia had no choice but to get into the car.
On the way, Shen Ron asked her, “That hospital you’re in is too small, want to go back to work at Yahn?”
“No, I’m quite happy at this hospital and don’t want to change again.” Cheng Lydia refused.
Dean had asked her to come over to LS City to help, so how could she choose to jump ship at this point? And … Yarn was where Lim Toby had left off, and she didn’t want to touch down there again.
“It’s okay, you’re happy.” Shen Ron said.
Cheng Lydia thought about it, looked sideways at Shen Ron, and asked hesitantly, “Ron, can you go somewhere with me this weekend?”
“Sure.” Shen Ron thought nothing of it.
“You didn’t even ask where you were going?”
“What place?”
“Since I’m here, I’d like to visit with Lim Toby, and his family.”
Shen Ron nodded, “I should.”
She could have gone alone, but she was afraid that Lim Toby would be worried and upset if he saw her alone.
After all, Lim Toby’s last wish was that she and Shen Ron could grow old together.
Shen Ron dropped Cheng Lydia off at the hospital entrance, unbuckled her seatbelt and gazed at her, “I’ll pick you up from work this afternoon.”
When she tried to refuse, he added, “That’s also exclusive to being a couple, no refusal.”
“You said that, what can I say.” Cheng Lydia shook her hand at him, “Get to work at the office.”
She watched Shen Ron’s car drive away before Cheng Lydia turned to walk into the hospital and back to her office.
A small nurse walked in holding a bouquet of blue sirens and said with a smile, “Doctor Cheng, these are the flowers the florist sent over for you.”
Cheng Lydia, surprised, surveyed the bright blue siren in the nurse’s arms and instinctively asked, “Who gave it to me?”
“I don’t know, here’s the card.” The nurse smiled and pointed to a card inside the bouquet.
Cheng Lydia took the flowers and held out the card inside, which read in clear, strong handwriting, Love you Shen.
A few simple words, but written in Shen Ron’s own handwriting, and she didn’t even know when Shen Ron had written the card down.
It seems Shen Ron is playing with her for real and really wants to pursue her like a normal couple.
Growing up, Cheng Lydia had received many flowers from suitors, but it was the first time she felt sweet as honey when she received roses.
The nurse lady said with an envious look, “Doctor Cheng just came to LS City and has a suitor to send flowers, so happy.”
“Thanks.” Cheng Lydia set the roses in the corner and got to work.
Shen Ron did come to pick her up from work in front of the hospital in the afternoon, and Cheng Lydia got into his car, lifting her wristwatch to see the time on it, “Off work so early?”
“There is no end to the money you can earn, but there is only one beloved one, of course the latter is important.” Shen Ron started the car and asked her with a smile, “What would you like to eat? I’ll treat you.”
“Isn’t it straight home?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve invited you to dinner.” Shen Ron said, “Don’t worry, Isaac is fine at Shen Mansion, very used to it, just go over and pick him up later.”
“Then … eat whatever you want, I’ll do it.”
“Knew you’d say that for sure.” Shen Ron said, and then turned the car onto a two-way street and came to a stop in front of a French restaurant.
The two had dinner together and stopped at a nearby supermarket together to pick up some gifts to take to The Lim Family for the weekend before hitting the road home.
Isaac really got used to playing at Shen Mansion and was reluctant to leave when he did.
Shen Ron chuckled and whispered in Cheng Lydia’s ear, “You might as well hurry up and move back, Isaac loves it here.”
