Chapter 274 – She wanted money and love (3)

Ruan Xia got up early the next morning. She felt that she should make it up to her son for lying to him last night, so she offered to drive him to kindergarten.

Little Wang was standing on a small stool to brush his teeth in front of the sink. He spat out the toothpaste foam and said, “Mom, I’m really smart.”

Ruan Xia had no idea that Little Wang had already seen through her. She nodded in agreement, “Yeah, our family’s Little Wang is the smartest child.”

Little Wang sighed. He used a small towel to wash his face. After he was done washing his face, he applied baby facial cream without Ruan Xia’s prompting. After all, he wanted to live an exquisite life too.

His skin was very white. Ruan Xia dabbed a bit of white facial cream on his nose. It looked really cute.

Little Wang suddenly hugged Ruan Xia’s waist and nuzzled her.

It was normal for him to be clingy like this, and she didn’t mind.

Their family of three almost always ate breakfast together. Today was no exception. Just like the old cadres on TV, Song Tingshen liked to read financial magazines during meals. Seeing that he was riveted by this magazine, Ruan Xia snatched it over to look. After browsing a few pages, she had a headache. The series of complicated economic terms was incomprehensible to her. Sure enough, this wasn’t suitable for her. She obediently returned the magazine to Song Tingshen.

“If you have free time, take a look at interior decorating books.” Song Tingshen ate a spoonful of congee and looked at Ruan Xia. “My thoughts are this. Little Wang will have to sleep on his own after the New Year. The current design of his room is too childish for him now. Let’s change the style. I think it’ll be better if you’re the one that designs his room.”

Little Wang immediately put down his cup. Without even wiping the milk stains around his mouth, he urgently protested, “I don’t want to sleep by myself, Dad!”

However, Song Tingshen felt this matter couldn’t be delayed any longer. “Dad was already sleeping by himself when I was your age.”

Little Wang immediately replied, “We’re different.”

“Same.” Song Tingshen wiped his hand with a napkin. “Alright, it’s settled. I’m going to work.”

Little Wang pouted. After waiting for his dad to leave, he said to Ruan Xia, “Dad wasn’t like this before.”

Ruan Xia had a guilty conscience.

That was true. Song Tingshen had previously never said Little Wang had to sleep by himself before. The reason he had mentioned it several times recently was related to her. So, to put it more bluntly, men not only valued their lover over friends, they also valued their lover over their children too.

Little Wang asked, “Mom, how much longer until New Year.”

Ruan Xia calculated the time. “Less than three months. It’ll be New Year soon after your kindergarten has winter vacation.

Little Wang hugged Ruan Xia again. He had probably accepted his fate. Knowing that he couldn’t go against his dad’s wishes, he had a very helpless expression. “Then I can only sleep with Mom for three more months. Mom, I know you want to sleep with me.”

Ruan Xia: “…”

“If I don’t sleep with Mom, Mom will definitely be scared at night,” Little Wang said with confidence, “Dad is too much. Doesn’t he know that Mom needs me?”

Ruan Xia thought; she probably wouldn’t be scared. After all, when the time comes, the place next to her wouldn’t be left vacant…
