Chapter 173 – Even if she was only his wife in name, she must have saved the world in her last life to have such good fortune! (1)
Ruan Xia passed the day comfortably today. Song Tingshen had brought her breakfast in the morning and ordered delivery for her from the hotel’s restaurant in the afternoon. She had laid in bed and slept for several hours and drank hot brown sugar water when she woke up again. She was already feeling much better. She would generally feel uncomfortable on the first day of her period and be much better by the next day. She had gotten enough rest today, and her complexion was no longer pallid.
That evening, Little Wang was very well-behaved and went to sleep with Song Tingshen. Without a child around plus feeling lethargic because of her period, she fell asleep before 10 PM. When she woke up the next morning, she felt refreshed.
Song Tingshen had made an appointment to see a friend and couldn’t postpone it, so he handed Little Wang over to Ruan Xia. Somewhat worried, he asked, “Are you feeling better? How about I take Little Wang with me?”
Ruan Xia waved her hand. “I’m already okay. I’m not that fragile. Just go do your thing.”
If Song Tingshen was meeting a friend purely to reminisce, then he definitely wouldn’t mind bringing Little Wang. Since he would suggest leaving Little Wang with her, it meant that there was more to it. He probably had work matters to discuss with his friend, so it wasn’t convenient to bring a child along. Ruan Xia could understand this basic principle.
Little Wang patted his chest like a little adult. “Dad, go do your thing. I’ll take care of mom. You don’t have to worry!”
After the mother and son watched Song Tingshen leave, Little Wang immediately patted the pillow on the big bed. “Mom, lie back down and rest. Don’t go anywhere.”
Ruan Xia laughed. This kid was treating her as a sickly patient… but still, it was pretty nice to enjoy being cared for by this chubby kid. She laid down on the bed without any psychological burden. She watched the chubby kid scurrying about on his short legs. He went back and forth fetching her tea and bread, attending to her as if she was empress dowager.
She could sort of understand the fun in raising a kid now.
Although being a parent was very tiring and exhausting most of the time, it was undeniable that children could bring a lot of happiness. She just couldn’t tell for now if the amount of happiness outweighed the exhaustion.
That being said, that she could think raising a child was interesting relied on the prerequisite that she didn’t have to experience that hardship and pain of being pregnant for 10 months and giving birth. When she had transmigrated over here, the chubby kid was almost four years old and attending kindergarten. In addition, the Song’s had the financial resources to hire a housekeeper/nanny aunty, so she didn’t have to worry too much about Little Wang’s daily life.
If her current situation was like her former coworker’s, where she had to work and take care of her child alone because her husband didn’t help out, then she definitely wouldn’t be able to stand that widow-like marriage where the man’s only contribution in being a parent was sperm.
With such a comparison, Song Tingshen was simply the type of good man that had gone extinct. He was able to work, earn money, and bear the burden of financially supporting his wife and child. In addition, he wasn’t absent in his child’s development. He didn’t expect his wife to take on the full-burden of raising Little Wang while he did nothing.
Ruan Xia rested her head in her hands. She was deeply moved. To have transmigrated into the wife of such a good man after transmigrating, she wasn’t worthy. Even if she was only his wife in name, she must have saved the world in her last life to have such good fortune!
Song Tingshen naturally had no idea that he had ascended to a higher level in Ruan Xia’s mind.
