Chapter 21 – “Dad, haven’t you noticed that mom is sucking up you?” (2)

The chubby kid had played all day. Right now, he was resting his little head on Song Tingshen’s shoulder with his eyes slowly opening and closing like a bleary-eyed little chick.

Nearby, a group of girls saw this sight and smiled. If it wasn’t because of his father’s intimidating aura, these girls would have definitely taken a photo of him on their phones.

The chubby kid finally closed his eyes shut and fell asleep. He slept especially well and even started snoring a bit.

Ruan Xia had carried this chubby kid before, so she wouldn’t underestimate how difficult it would be to carry him for a long time. But, if she were to take the kid from Song Tingshen right now, it would be even more difficult for her. After all, there was no way she was stronger than Song Tingshen. And so, she could only look around and finally saw a passenger that looked as if he was going to get off at the next stop.

She sped over to that seat like a loach swimming in water. Just as that person had stood up from his seat and the people near him were still waiting to grab his seat, she had already successfully sat down in his vacated seat. Her movement had been too swift, and it was too late for the other nearby people.

The masses that had been preparing to grab the seat: “...”

Ruan Xia called out to Song Tingshen, “Come over here. You can sit here.”

Song Tingshen could only walk over to her while dragging the suitcase with one hand and carrying their child with his other hand.

Ruan Xia thoughtfully stood up and gave her seat to Song Tingshen. She said, “I can’t carry him for long without my arms going numb. It’s better that you sit down here with him.”

Even if she was sitting down, it would still be tiring to hold onto the chubby child for the entire train ride. This task should be given to good dad Song Tingshen.

Song Tingshen wasn’t overly polite with her. Carrying the child, he sat down.

Although Ruan Xia hadn’t spent a lot of time with Song Tingshen yet, she had a good impression of him so far.

His past interactions with the novel’s Ruan Xia had nothing to do with her. As an outsider to this existing relationship, she couldn’t critically evaluate him and the novel’s Ruan Xia.

However, from yesterday to now, Song Tingshen hadn’t talked to her much either. Still, even though he was a big boss, he had agreed to her request of taking the subway and being crammed into a subway train with commuters instead of taking a comfortable taxi ride. He hadn’t even voiced any objections or asked her why. This made her feel a lot better about her situation.

If he hadn’t agreed, she didn’t think she would be able to make a terrible fuss towards this stranger in order to get him to concede. That would be an insurmountable difficulty level for her.

From this, she could see that although he had no feelings towards the novel’s Ruan Xia, he was willing to go along with all of her requests no matter how strange they were, as long as he was able to do so. It was exactly because of this reason that Song Tingshen and the novel’s Ruan Xia were able to live together in harmony. Based on the novel’s Ruan Xia’s memories, these two hadn’t even quarrel once in the past four years.

In Ruan Xia’s original world, before she had purchased a car, her mode of transportation was usually the public transportation. Whether it was taking the bus or subway, her ability to grab a seat was first-class. After only a few more stops, she had gotten herself another seat.

Although Song Tingshen didn’t say anything, he would occasionally look over at his wife. He happened to see her snatching another seat like it was old hat to her, and the suspicion in his heart deepened.

Although he didn’t have a good relationship with his wife in name, and they were practically strangers, he had done his best to give his wife and son the best life possible. Whenever Ruan Xia went out, there would be a chauffeur to drop her off and pick her up. Later on, when she learned how to drive, he had brought her a car...

So, why would she have experience and skills competing for seats on public transportation...

Song Tingshen toss these doubts behind him. Perhaps, this was just an innate talent?

Even though she had acted strangely the past two days, she was still young. It wasn’t impossible that she would let insecurity over a dream affect her.
