Chapter 81 – You really won’t be angry if I have someone outside? (2)

Song Tingshen slowly said, “Little Wang is getting smarter each day. Whether it’s me or you, we need to act as good role models in front of him. Otherwise, when he grows up, this will adversely affect his view of relationships. He might even follow our example when he grows up. It’s just like what happens to children that grow up in families with domestic abuse. There are clearly children that hate their fathers for beating their mothers, but under that imperceptible influence, those children will grow into adults that use violence to solve their problems. What do you think?”

Ruan Xia deeply understood this sentiment through a real life example.

She knew someone like this. This person grew up watching his dad beating his mom, and his relationship with his dad was very bad. He said that he hated his dad, but later on, as an adult, when he had a conflict with his girlfriend, he couldn’t resist the urge to hit her...

Thus, it could be seen how much influence a child’s family situation would have on him or her.

“Don’t worry.” Ruan Xia hastily said, “Right now, I don’t have much interest in things like feelings and love...”

Those things were so pointless. She already had so much money and a child too. Why would she be interested in dating fickle-hearted men?

Song Tingshen: “...”

“If one day I became interested in that and I find someone that I like a lot, I’ll tell you. If that time comes, we can amicably get a divorce. I hope you’ll do the same.”

The corners of Song Tingshen’s lips twitched. “Okay.”

These two could be considered to have reached a common understanding on this issue.

Ruan Xia paused before saying, “Song Tingshen, I feel you’ve taught Little Wang extremely well, truly.”

Following professional etiquette standards, Song Tingshen reciprocated her compliment. “He gets his cuteness from you. You did a good job giving birth to him.”

He was sincere about this. Although he initially hadn’t been happy about entering a marriage this way, after Little Wang was born, those feelings of unhappiness had faded away a lot.

Although it had been a bit nonsensical how Little Wang had misunderstood and thought they were going to get a divorce, Song Tingshen and Ruan Xia’s understanding of each other had improved because of this incident.

After all, to be able to calmly discuss extramarital affairs, it meant that this plastic couple had gotten a bit closer.

Little Wang returned to his normal energetic self the next day. He even cheekily said to Ruan Xia, “Mom, didn’t you ask me if I want to eat ice cream yesterday? I can answer that question now. I want to eat ice cream.”

Ruan Xia stayed strictly impartial and incorruptible by refusing his request. “Sorry, Mr. Song Shuyan, this offer has already expired. There’s no point in answering it now.”

Song Tingshen had come downstairs and happened to overhear this exchange. He walked Little Wang’s seat and kissed his chubby cheeks. “You wasted that opportunity.”

Little Wang sighed. “I wasn’t in the mood and didn’t have any appetite yesterday. Now that I’m in the mood and have an appetite, you guys won’t let me eat it. That means you guys aren’t treating me sincerely.”

Ruan Xia hadn’t been planning on dropping Little Wang off at nursery school today, but since something like that had happened yesterday, she changed her mind. She was surprised that Song Tingshen followed them when she led Little Wang over to put on his shoes.

Little Wang suddenly realized that when he was unhappy. his parents would treat him a lot better than usual.

When he was unhappy, his mom would offer him cheese cookies and ice cream, and his parents would bring him to nursery school together.

So then, would it be better to be an unhappy kid?
