Chapter 49 – She would be an idiot to ruin their harmonious plastic relationship for an insignificant person (3)

In her real life, she could barely be considered a small beauty when she was wearing makeup. And after she removed the makeup, the skin on her face would be slightly dull, and there were clear dark circles and bags under her eyes.

Truly, the original owner’s skin was too good. There wasn’t any makeup on her face right now, but its face value was still high enough that she could proudly smile.

Song Tingshen coughed. “You answered a call for me yesterday?”

Ruan Xia dried off her face with a face towel and patiently started her skincare routine. While applying lotion, she answered, “En, I saw that you were drunk, so I answered it for you.”

“Thank you,” Song Tingshen said in a reserved manner.

Ruan Xia didn’t know if he was thanking her for answering the call for him or for taking care of him yesterday.”

“No big deal.”

She had no intention at all about asking him who Li Jing was or saying anything bad about Li Jing.

Little Wang saw that she was lightly slapping her face and felt distressed. He asked her, “Mom, doesn’t it hurt when you hit yourself like that?”

Ruan Xia: “... I already told you. This is the pursuit of a quality lifestyle.”

Song Tingshen picked up Little Wang. It was very obvious that the father and son pair found it hard to understand Ruan Xia’s tedious skincare routine.

“Dad, mom said she would take me out to play today. Let’s all go together!” Little Wang hugged Song Tingshen’s neck. “Teacher said today is Saturday. I don’t have to go to school and adults don’t have to go to work.”

Song Tingshen’s face revealed his hesitation. His friend was getting married today. Since he was a married man, he didn’t have to go there early as the best man, but he still had to get to the hotel by 11 AM. This was an occasion he had to attend and couldn’t make excuses for. After thinking it over, he said, “Dad has to attend an uncle’s* wedding today. How about dad takes you to play tomorrow?”

(T/N: Chinese Parents often refer to other adults as uncles and aunties when speaking to their children instead of using their names.)

His tone sounded like he wanted to discuss this. He didn’t have any intention of lying to Little Wang.

Ruan Xia’s eyes brightened. She was about to suggest to Song Tingshen that he could bring Little Wang to attend the wedding along with him. This way, she could have the rest of the day free. She could lay about at home like salted fish or go out shopping. She had arranged it so that her Monday to Friday schedule was very full. Since Little Wang had to go to school, she left her weekends free. She had been wanting to get a good rest for a while. How perfect, she wanted to take a nap, and it was like someone had delivered a pillow.

However, before she could voice her sincere suggestion, Little Wang said, “Wedding? I want to go too!”

Ruan Xia thought; what a good son. Two thumbs up.

Song Tingshen hesitated for a moment. Just as Song Tingshen was about to nod in agreement, Little Wang expectantly looked at Ruan Xia.

Ruan Xia suddenly had an ominous premonition.

“Mom, come with us!” Little Wang came down from Song Tingshen and hugged Ruan Xia’s thigh with his lotus-like arms. He rubbed against her and acted cutely spoiled, “Mom, come with us. Weddings are really fun. Come with us! Come with us!”

Little kids could be such pests. Ruan Xia didn’t have any other choice in the face of his badgering. She could only lean over and patiently say, “Mom is busy today.”

“Liar, you said recently that you would take me out to play. You were free before, how can you be busy now?” Little Wang wasn’t an easily tricked two-year-old. He was already a mature three-year-old boy. It wasn’t easy to trick him. “Mom, you’re lying to me. How can you lie to a child?”

Ruan Xia didn’t want to go. She also thought that it might be inconvenient for Song Tingshen if she went, so she pleadingly looked at him to save her.

Song Tingshen looked down at Little Wang, then he looked at Ruan Xia. And then, he very obviously misunderstood the look in Ruan Xia’s eyes.

“Let’s all go together,” he said.
