Chapter 302 – She was worried about losing the current Song Tingshen (1)

Little Wang’s words had a big impact on Song Tingshen. After placating his son, Song Tingshen couldn’t put his full focus back on work. He wasn’t stupid. On the contrary, he was very smart. It was just that he was too busy during this period. His brain didn’t have room for anything but work. As he sat in his chair and looked at the series of numbers on the report, he took the time to think about Ruan Xia’s recent behavior. She had been acting oddly lately, but he hadn’t thought too deeply about it at the time.

Ruan Xia had changed. In the past, she did cook sometimes, but it wasn’t daily like now. Even if the housekeeper aunty asked for time off, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to hire a temporary housekeeper. Not only did Ruan Xia not hire anyone, she tried to take care of all the housework. This was very abnormal. Her behavior had also been very strange when he took her out for dinner on their anniversary. They had gone to this restaurant more than once before. Why did she have such a big reaction that time? She even accused him of being too extravagant.

Her recording of expenses fell under the same umbrella. Their family didn’t need to be so frugal. Song Tingshen thought it over. He connected her strange behavior with her question about his company and made a bold guess. Could it be that she thought there was a big problem with his company and that the company was lacking in funds and was about to go bankrupt? Was that the reason for her behavior?

The more he thought about it, the more he was sure that his guess was right. With Ruan Xia’s character, this was something she would do.

While being dumbfounded, he was also very moved. At the very least, after she made this guess, she forced herself to adapt to a poorer life instead of thinking about leaving him.

In the end, she wanted to be with him for better or for worse. Her thoughts and mindset was a hidden treasure to him.

Ah, if he wasn’t at a critical juncture with his work, he really wanted to have a good talk with her. He wanted to know what was going on in her little head. It would definitely be very interesting and cute.

Song Tingshen thought it over. Anyways, he’ll be free in a few days. He could have a good chat with Ruan Xia then. The most important thing at this stage was still work.

Ruan Xia didn’t know that her son was distressed for her or his show of anger towards his dad. And that as a result, the father and son had already talked. After a brief busy period, she adapted to life without a housekeeper aunty.

Every morning, she woke up at 7 AM and prepared hot milk, fried eggs, and toast. After finishing breakfast, she had Little Wang watch cartoons in English. She no longer went out to buy groceries every day and only went grocery shopping every few days. When Little Wang was watching cartoons, she would hang up clothes to dry and water the flowers and plants in the little garden. Around 11 PM, she would prepare ingredients for the day. A little over an hour was enough time to prepare lunch. Song Tingshen naturally wouldn’t come back to eat lunch. The leftover food was enough for dinner.

When Little Wang took an afternoon nap, she would also nap with him. She planned out her whole day. When she had free time, she would clean. The hourly worker usually came once a week. That was enough to ensure that their home was clean and tidy.

Ruan Xia deeply felt a sense of accomplishment. Today, she was in the backyard drying a washed blanket. The quilt cover exuded the scent of detergent. The sunlight was just right. Little Wang was playing on the swing. She suddenly felt this kind of life was quite good. This was also a life that she wanted to live.

Ah, her life was so wonderful!
