nChapter 59 – If mom has another kid, will she go back to before? (1)

nReality proved that explaining this matter to his son was truly very awkward. Fortunately, Little Wang dropped this line of questioning. Song Tingshen sighed in relief.

nAfter Little Wang lied down to sleep, he didn’t fall asleep right away. Instead, he asked, “Dad, will you and mom have another child?”

nIt was obvious that Little Wang was still bothered by the teasing questions asked at the wedding.

nSong Tingshen tucked the summer blanket around his son and asked, “You don’t want a little brother or sister?”

nLittle Wang shook his head and said how he really felt, “It’s not that. Dad, mom now hugs me and kisses me. If mom has another kid, will she go back to before? When she didn’t hug me or kiss me?”

nSong Tingshen was stunned. He hadn’t expected this would be his son’s answer. However, if he stood in Little Wang’s shoes, he could understand why he would think this. After giving birth to their son, Ruan Xia hadn’t been close to their son. As Little Wang’s father, since he had that type of agreement with Ruan Xia, he couldn’t ask her to be a good mother. After all, she didn’t love their child, and he couldn’t force her to pretend to be a good mother. And so, other than the mental energy he used for work, all his thoughts were devoted to Little Wang. He wanted to give him more love to fill up the vacancy left by Ruan Xia.

nHowever, he forgot something important. In the process of growing up, a child needed a father and a mother. Neither party could completely replace the other. Little Wang’s heart yearned for his mother’s love. Now that Ruan Xia was giving him the motherly love he wanted, in the midst of his happiness, he would also be scared. Even an adult would be scared of losing something after possessing it once, much less a child.

nHe didn’t like Ruan Xia, and Ruan Xia didn’t like him. In the past years, they had maintained an equilibrium of sorts. Neither side would interfere with the other person’s life. If they didn’t have a child together, this type of marriage wouldn’t be bad.

nSong Tingshen hugged Little Wang and comforted him. “She won’t. And, dad and mom don’t have any plans on having another child.”

nAs an adult, he knew what kind of person Ruan Xia was. Thus, even if she had become slightly better now, it didn’t make a difference to him. In fact, he had already mentally prepared himself for her recent behavior to only be a temporary whim. But, a child wouldn’t be able to do that.

nLittle Wang opened his eyes wide and asked, “Really?”

nHe thought it over before adding, “If mom will keep hugging me and kissing me, then I would want a younger sibling.”

nSong Tingshen couldn’t help laughing. On the surface, he looked relaxed, but his heart felt slightly heavy.

n—

nRuan Xia didn’t know this father and son pair would have this conversation. She didn’t know Little Wang would have those thoughts, much less all the thoughts that would well up in Song Tingshen from Little Wang’s words.

nShe was happily lying in bed, browsing Weibo, and enjoying the cool air from the air conditioner.

nOf course, there were many times when she looked at websites for online food ordering services. She wanted to order a late night snack. But, when she looked at her flat belly and slender waist, she gave up on that idea.

nYou had to pay a price to be a one in a million beauty!

nFrom now on, she and delicious high-calorie food were destined to never meet!

nJust as she was about to put down her phone and go to sleep earlier than usual, her phone vibrated. When she tapped the phone to look at the notification, she saw that she got a text message.
