The Villain’s Mother

Chapter 187 – What separates humans and animals is self-control and knowing your moral bottom line (3)

Ruan Xia sighed. Song Tingshen’s words were due to a rich person’s confidence.

In the past, there would always be a few days every month when she didn’t want to go to work. There were times when she was horrible oppressed. Even if she wanted to resign, even if those words were already her lips, she would end up swallowing those words back down. Why? Because she had to think about paying her rent and living expenses next month…

Nonetheless, her mood improved after hearing Song Tingshen’s reassurance. Although beauty was certainly a gold finger cheat, what really made her feel like a winner in life was that after transmigrating, she had freedom to live the life she wanted and not do the things she didn’t want to.

There was a certain line in a movie that was apropos; success in life means having the ability to live your life how you want to.

“Okay.” Ruan Xia nodded with a smile.

The car arrived at the office building, and Ruan Xia unbuckled her seat belt to get out of the car.

Song Tingshen suddenly called out to her, “If anything happens, feel free to call me.”

Ruan Xia broke out into laughter. “I’m just going to work, not going to…”

Song Tingshen touched his nose in embarrassment and honestly admitted, “I’m just a bit worried.”

Thinking about it carefully, this type of mood… it was similar to how he felt on Little Wang’s first day in kindergarten. However, it wouldn’t be good for him to voice that thought.

On Little Wang’s first day in kindergarten, Song Tingshen had been uneasy and stayed at the entrance for a few hours. If an emergency hadn’t come up at work, he could have stayed there waiting the rest of the day.

Ruan Xia knew that he was concerned about her. It was a sharp contrast to when she had first transmigrated here. Back then, no matter what she did, he wouldn’t be concerned. And now, he was very concerned about her.

“Don’t worry. If I’m really unhappy or unsatisfied, I’ll definitely immediately leave.” Ruan Xia proudly said, “I’m a rich woman now. I can be willful.”

It was so great to have money. If she wasn’t happy with the job itself or her coworkers, she could resign and leave.

Amused by her expression, Song Tingshen smiled. “Alright, go to work. I can’t park here for too long. The traffic police might come over.”

Ruan Xia nodded and waved at him. “Okay, bye.”

Song Tingshen added, “You didn’t drive here. I’ll leave work early today to come pick you up.”

Ruan Xia was just about to say no need, but she saw Song Tingshen’s expression that wouldn’t allow rejection and swallowed these words. Why did she feel as if he was treating her like a little kid on her first day at work? No, to be more precise, it was more like a parent watching his kid going to kindergarten for the first time. He was like a parent that was worried about all sorts of things…

She turned around and walked towards the office building. Song Tingshen didn’t immediately drive off. Instead, he waited until she entered the building before leaving.

It was only when he couldn’t see her figure anymore that Song Tingshen started the engine and left. It wasn’t easy to turn around here. He had to go around the office building.

In a small passage relative to the main road, there was a parked off-road vehicle. The windows to the car were open.

As Song Tingshen drove away, he closely passed by that car and saw a man sitting inside the car. That man raised his head and their eyes met. The man very politely nodded at him in greeting.

Song Tingshen also nodded back.
