Chapter 288 – Without mental toughness, who could bear those experiences? (2)

Ruan Xia wasn’t done talking to Song Tingshen. She closed her bedroom door and went to the study. Song Tingshen felt had a headache coming on when he saw her.

For lack of a better option, he said, “Do you still have a bone to pick with me?”

Ruan Xia dragged a chair over, sat down in front of him, and said with a serious expression, “Of course I’m not done. I’ll remember this for a lifetime. The same goes for you.”

Song Tingshen pinched the bridge of his nose. “My friend was at fault…”

Ruan Xia widened her eyes. “You still see that person as your friend?!”

“It’s that…” Song Tingshen paused and said with great difficulty, “that assh*le’s fault.”

Ruan Xia was barely satisfied with that address.

“I’ll cut off contact with him. I’ll find an opportunity to beat him up.”

“That’s the right reaction. Don’t hang out with people like him. I’m not interfering with your freedom to make friends. A friend like him isn’t a good person. I think a normal person would never do such a thing.” The more Ruan Xia thought about it, the angrier she got. She vented out the past night’s anxieties. She almost wanted to make a voodoo doll of that guy and stick needles in it. “What’s wrong with him? How could he take away someone’s child without saying a word. At the very least, he should let us know first. Anyways, I think there has to be something wrong with this person. It’s definitely not as simple as wanting to take Little Wang to play. He must have a vile reason.”

Song Tingshen repeatedly nodded. “My dear lady is right.”

Sure enough, men were pigs. At a moment like this, he was still in the mood to flirt.

Ruan Xia rolled her eyes. “I have a recommendation for you.”

Song Tingshen suddenly had a bad feeling. Whenever she started a conversation with this, it was generally something bad.

“Go to the police station and ask the police to pay more attention to that person… Who knows? He could have done this to another family’s child too. He’s a potential danger.” Ruan Xia thought it over and added, “If you don’t have time, it’s the same if I go there.”

Song Tingshen couldn’t help but laugh. “Okay, okay, I’ll go do that tomorrow.”

Ruan Xia was silent for a moment, then she raised her head and looked at Song Tingshen. She quietly said, “Song Tingshen, you don’t know how scared I was.”

Song Tingshen got up, walked over to her, and crouched down. He held her hand and gently kissed it. “Alright, I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again. Little Wang will grow up well. Nothing will happen to make you worry again.”

It took a while before Ruan Xia slowly nodded. “Okay, we’ll protect him together.”

She finally understood how difficult it was to be a parent and how heavy a parent’s responsibility weighed on one. A moment of carelessness, and there could be an irreversible tragedy.

It truly wasn’t easy for children to grow up healthy and peacefully by their parents’ side. There were too many accidents that would happen during that time. Without mental toughness, who could bear those experiences?

She leaned forward and hugged Song Tingshen’s neck. In a muffled voice, she said, “It’s too hard being a mom. There’s too much hardship.”

Song Tingshen replied, “En, it’s not enough to just bring him into this world. We have many, many things to do. This may just be the start. The burden of being a parent is very heavy. But don’t worry, I’ll face it with you.”

It didn’t matter what trials and tribulations they would face. This family had Xiaxia and Little Wang. Nothing was more important than them.
