Chapter 124 – Was this an opportunity to learn more about his romantic history? (3)
“There’s no need to be polite. It’s no trouble at all,” replied Song Tingshen. After a pause, he said, “There’s sothing I want to discuss with you”.
Ruan Xia felt relieved upon hearing those words. She felt that he had been acting strangely all day, starting from when she had picked him up. On the drive ho from her parents, Song Tingshen and Little Wang kept praising her beauty and just now he had even brought her a cup of warm milk of his own volition. If he didn’t say what he wanted, she would stay up all night trying to guess his thoughts.
After all, he was entirely acting out of character. If another man had treated her this way, it would be obvious that he was courting her. However, Song Tingshen would never do sothing like that. And so, when she was confronted with this behavior, Ruan Xia’s initial reaction was to suspect an ulterior motive. “I wonder what he wants from ?”, she thought.
“What is it? I’ll help in whatever way I can”, said Ruan Xia emphatically.
“Have you made plans for National Day?” Song Tingshen asked.
Ruan Xia shook her head and replied, “I don’t have plans.”
When she heard his question, she thought that Song Tingshen must have made plans for the holiday, so he was going to ask her to take care of Little Wang. It wasn’t a big deal to her, after all, she was Little Wang’s primary caretaker. In the past, the original owner had spent the holiday traveling abroad with her “plastic” friends and enjoying themselves.
Song Tingshen explained, “That’s good. I want to bring Little Wang back to my hotown. In these past years, we haven’t been able to go back due to Little Wang’s age and my schedule, so he’s never paid his respects to my parents. I had planned to renovate my parents’ grave this year, so it will be a good opportunity to bring Little Wang along.”
Ruan Xia was surprised at the unexpected good news. While Little Wang is very cute and she is happy to take care of him, she was even more excited about having so alone ti. Of course, she would say yes and let Song Tingshen bring Little Wang to his hotown for a few days. Finally, she would have so ti to relax. She started making plans in her mind, “Should I travel sowhere? But, there will be a lot of travelers over the holiday ...”
Before she could reply to Song Tingshen, he continued, “That’s why I asked if you’d be free. If you don’t have plans, how about we go together? Little Wang wouldn’t want to be separated from you, so if you don’t go, he’ll complain and want to co back ho.”
“I’m going too?” replied Ruan Xia blankly. Ruan Xia couldn’t believe what she had heard.
Song Tingshen made a sound of agreent and looked intently at her. After a few seconds, he said, “If you have plans, then don’t worry about it.”
Ruan Xia had already said she hadn’t made plans, so she couldn’t make an excuse now. According to the mories of the original owner, not only had Little Wang never been to Song TIngshen’s hotown, she also had never visited.
All things considered, Song Tingshen’s request wasn’t unreasonable. He hadn’t been back in several years. It’s normal for him to want to go ho and take care of his parents grave. It’s normal for him to want to bring his son to pay respect to his parents. And it’s normal for his wife (at least in na), to burn so incense for his parents. Furthermore, Song Tingshen had already asked her and she had no good excuses.
At this point, Ruan Xia could only agree, so she said “Okay. Since the ti we married, I’ve never burnt any incense for your parents. This ti, I should go with you.”
Song Tingshen felt relief when he heard her answer without hesitation. He had discovered that Ruan Xia is actually a good person. How had he never noticed these past years. It wasn’t too late to see that now, was it?
