The Villain's Mother

Chapter 69 – He hadn’t been able to have that as a child, but he hoped that his son could have it, even if that warmth wasn’t real (2)

Ruan Xia inwardly sighed. Regardless of whether the start of this marriage had been right or wrong, there was no doubt that Song Tingshen was a good father.

In today’s society, although there were many fathers that had love as deep as the mountains for their children, there were few fathers that would take their considerations to such a thorough and meticulous level.

In this marriage and in this family, Song Tingshen had the dominant position. He was this family’s sole breadwinner...

If the original owner was still here, what choice would she make?

She would probably nod her head in agreement. After all, this wasn’t an unfavorable condition for her.

“Actually, I thought you wanted to talk with me today because you wanted a divorce,” Ruan Xia softly said.

Song Tingshen slightly furrowed his brow. “You want a divorce?”

Ruan Xia shook her head. “I don’t have a strong opinion either way. Whether we divorce or stay together, either option wouldn’t be bad for me.”

She wasn’t interested in seeking romantic love. From childhood to adulthood, she always had the attitude of taking things as they were.

Ruan Xia looked at Song Tingshen and continued, “I’ve been living freely and without restraint in the past four years. So, when you said you wanted to talk, I thought you wanted a divorce.”

“I don’t have any thoughts or intentions of getting a divorce.”

Ruan Xia nodded. “I know that now. As for what you recently said, there’s nothing for me to consider. Little Wang is my son too. If it’s for him, as long as it’s something within my acceptable range, I’ll cooperate with you.”

Song Tingshen relaxed. Today’s discussion was a success, and he had achieved his objective.

“What do you want?” Now that the air had been cleared up, Song Tingshen wasn’t as hard-pressed as before. His expression looked more natural too. “Money, another condo, another car? I can give you anything you want.”

They were husband and wife in name, but they were sitting here and clearly negotiating.

Ruan Xia had originally wanted to say she didn’t need anything else. She already had enough. But, looking at Song Tingshen’s negotiating look and thinking of the original owner’s previous behavior, if she told him that she didn’t want anything, it would only leave this man unsettled.

After all, he was a businessman. Even in his married life, he viewed their relationship through a businesslike perspective.

Thinking of this, Ruan Xia said, “I already have money, a condo, a car, and jewelry. If you really want me to think of something, I can’t immediately come up with something. How about this? I’ll tell you once I think of something.”

Song Tingshen looked at her for a moment before finally nodding.

The two of them had already successfully reached an understanding, so there was no reason to stay here and keep talking. After paying the bill, Song Tingshen dropped Ruan Xia off at the place she was meeting the foreigner language teacher, then he went to work.

***

Ruan Xia’s language lessons were very casual and relaxed. She and the female teacher would meet at a cafe or a bakery and idly chat in English. Sometimes, they would go watch a movie together or simply go window shopping. Of course, costs incurred during these outings would be borne by Ruan Xia. Perhaps, because the settings were so relaxed, Ruan Xia no longer felt adverse to speaking in English, and she was rapidly improving.

Although her weekday schedule looked full, it was much easier than having a fulltime job.
