The Villain’s Mother

Chapter 184 – Mom and dad are playing so well together now (3)

Ruan Xia barely managed to regain her composure. She thought; it’s not like she hadn’t been in a relationship before. Even if there was something between her and Song Tingshen, she shouldn’t get frazzled over it. Having adjusted her mentality, she started to carefully choose the fruits.

Once Ruan Xia was done shopping, Song Tingshen very conscientiously took out his wallet and swiped his credit card.

Since Song Tingshen was holding bags of fruit, Little Wang didn’t ask him to hold hands with Ruan Xia on their way back to the parking lot. After all, he could see that dad didn’t have a free hand to hold hands with mom.

The sky hadn’t completely darkened yet. Ruan Xia followed behind Song Tingshen. It wasn’t possible to tell if the light on him was the light from the setting sun or the street lamp, but that illumination on his tall and straight figure made him look like a character from a movie.

Lucky Koi Song was truly very good at unsettling her heartstring. While her mind was in terrible confusion just because he held her hand, he seemed so calm and composed

Ruan Xia wasn’t aware that Song Tingshen wasn’t as calm as he seemed.

He didn’t know why he had suddenly held her hand. Even he couldn’t find a reason strong enough to successfully rationalize it to himself. It had been a long time he had such an impulse. There was no logical reason behind it. He just wanted to do it.

In his 30 plus years of his life, he took the overall situation into consideration when making any decision and didn’t dare to take a wrong step. At this moment, he didn’t want to think about the consequence of his impulsive action or if he would regret it when he woke up the next morning.

On the way home, thanks to the chatterbox Little Wang, it wasn’t as noticeable that Song Tingshen and Ruan Xia suddenly had less words to say to each other. The little fellow wasn’t aware that the atmosphere between his parents had become very strange.

In the world of adults, one always had to consider if doing something would make them lose face. Ruan Xia really wanted to loudly ask Song Tingshen why he held her hand. However, this type of scene and questioning was becoming scarce even in idol dramas… Which meant that this was no longer appealing to the masses. It looked too naive.

“Mom, are you going to be like dad? Going to work every day?” Little Wang suddenly asked.

Ruan Xia hurriedly came out of her contemplation. “Yes…” She paused. Although she didn’t mention him by name, her following question was directed at Song Tingshen. “Umm, there’s nothing wrong with that company, right?”

Song Tingshen looked at the back of her head. “I had Assistant Chen check it out. There’s currently no problem with it. You can go try working there. If you’re not happy at work, you can resign at any time.”

Ruan Xia felt relieved after hearing Song Tingshen’s words. She had also thought more about the company’s strangeness. The company could just have a very humane culture where the employees treated everyone very courteously and warmly. Song Tingshen was very well-connected. Since he said there was nothing wrong with the company, it meant that there were at least no major problems with the company on the surface. She wanted to try working there. Just as he said, she could simply resign if the company wasn’t a good fit.

“By the time I get paid…” Ruan Xia thought it over. “It’ll be November. I’ll buy you and Little Wang coats to wear.”

Although she already had a lot of money, it would feel different to buy things for this father and son pair with money she earned herself.

Song Tingshen smiled. “Okay.”
