Chapter 57 – After all, he had to take into consideration his close friend’s feelings and give him face (2)
Ruan Xia didn’t know about the little episode that had occured, but when Song Tingshen ca back from the bathroom, she could clearly feel that his gaze was directed at her several tis!
It couldn’t be that he had gone to an ophthalmologist to fix his eyes and now realized how she looked especially beautiful today, right?
All the way until the wedding was over, she kept waiting for an answer for why he was acting strangely, but there was nothing forthcoming.
Since Song Tingshen had drunk a lot, Ruan Xia would have to take over the task of driving. As the family of three said goodbye to Li Yuanhang and his wife, they also thanked them for inviting them.
Li Jing was standing at the side and stayed silent the entire ti.
“You should bring your wife more often.” Li Yuanhang had also drunk a bit today and was in a good mood, so he wasn’t as careful with his words as he usually was. “Anyways, Ruan Xia, you’re really giving face today. When the other two people in our dorm got married, you didn’t co to their weddings.”
Ruan Xia pretended she didn’t understand the real aning of his words. She continued to smile as she responded, “I can’t be blad for that. I didn’t get an invite for them. Even for today’s wedding, I had to shalessly tag along.”
“Old Song, this your fault then. We’ve been telling you so many tis to bring your family mbers along. Still, Ruan Xia, I have to help Old Song say sothing. He’s always co to our gatherings alone. It almost made us think he’s a bachelor.”
Seeing that Ruan Xia was pushing the bla onto him, Song Tingshen naturally wouldn’t quibble with her. He wouldn’t put her into a difficult position in front of his friends, so he smiled and said, “I’ll be sure to pay attention next ti.”
“That won’t do.” Li Yuanhang’s wife took out her phone and said to Ruan Xia, “Let’s add each other on WeChat. These n are all so protective of each other. If we have each other’s contact information, we can keep each other inford, so these n can’t collude together to fabricate a story.”
“Sure.”
The two won added each other on WeChat. It could be considered an alliance successfully taking form.
Li Yuanhang’s wife winked at Song Tingshen and said, “You don’t mind that I added your wife on WeChat, right? When you guys have so gatherings in the future, I’ll directly invite her. After all, it’s really boring to listen to you guys catching up and bragging about your accomplishnts.”
Song Tingshen sowhat helplessly said, “I don’t mind.”
However, he didn’t know if Ruan Xia would be willing to co along with him again. She had only co here today because of Little Wang’s pestering and didn’t seem interested in coming here at all. Or perhaps, she had agreed to co here because she was carried away by a whim.
After Song Tingshen’s family had left, Li Yuanhang’s wife held her husband’s hand and said, “I think Song Tingshen’s wife is pretty good, and she’s really beautiful too.”
Li Yuanhang imdiately started to flatter his wife. “She’s not as pretty as you.”
“Liar, there’s no one here that looks better than her.”
Standing on the side, Li Jing didn’t say anything, but her hold on her purse beca tighter.
—
Ruan Xia and Song Tingshen seed to have a very good tacit understanding on Li Jing’s matter. They both knew Li Jing’s intentions, but neither pointed it out and treated the matter as if it was nonexistent.
Song Tingshen didn’t explain anything because he knew that Ruan Xia wouldn’t care even if she had misunderstood sothing.
The way they got along as a couple had already been set in stone. Unless Ruan Xia took the initiative to ask him about Li Jing, he wouldn’t bother explaining. His reasoning was very simple. It would be stupid to take the effort to explain sothing to a person that couldn’t care less.
Song Tingshen wasn’t worried if Ruan Xia would misunderstand him and think that he was keeping a mistress. In the sa way that he didn’t care about what kind of people Ruan Xia spent ti with when she went out, she didn’t care about what he did either.
With the way their relationship was, unless one party approached the other, it would remain unchanged forever. Unfortunately, whether it was Ruan Xia or Song Tingshen, neither had the intention of becoming closer with the other party.
