The Villain’s Mother

Chapter 37 – If you want to indulge, you have to be prepared to price the price (3)

When Little Wang woke up, it was already 4PM, and Ruan Xia had finished watching two horror movies.

She really liked her current idle and do nothing lifestyle. She didn’t have to worry about how her work was progressing, deal with difficult customers, or squeeze herself into a crowded bus or subway. She didn’t have to rush about anymore to earn an insufficient salary. She knew that her spirit was being corrupted by this type of rich woman’s indolent lifestyle. She also wanted to get back to her old self and go look for a job. At the very least, she should support herself… But, it was really too comfortably just lying here!

This thought was especially prevalent after she idled the afternoon away. Looking at the large table of food, Ruan Xia thought that in less than half a month, she would get too used to this new life and wouldn’t be able to adapt if she had to go back to her original life.

There truly wasn’t anything negative that could be said about Father Ruan’s cooking skills. His cooking was even better than the Song family’s housekeeper aunty.

Ruan Xia had already forgotten about watching a movie in the evening. She happily peeled crayfish while flattering Father Ruan. “Dad, with your cooking skills, I’m sure you’ll have a booming business if you open a restaurant.”

After the novel’s Ruan Xia was no longer an ignorant child, she hadn’t said a single compliment to Father Ruan. She always looked down at him. He was a father that loved his daughter, but she always looked down on him for not having the skills that could earn a decent income. Hearing these words of praise that hadn’t been heard in so long, Father Ruan drank an extra glass of wine and cheerfully said, “I’m good enough to cook meals for the family but being a chef isn’t possible.”

“Grandfather’s cooking is the best!” Little Wang was the king of flattery, so he was sure to express his support and affection at this moment.” The doctor aunty said I’ve gotten fat and need to lose weight.”

It was true. The chubby kid’s body weight meant that the doctors at the hospital would say he was on the unhealthy side of the scale and needed to control his diet.

The Ruan family didn’t have a rule of eating meals in silence, and the family chatted throughout the dinner. During the summer evening, it felt especially warm and comfortable. Although Song Tingshen didn’t say much, he ate more food than usual.

Even when the family of three was about to leave, Mother Ruan still hadn’t seen her daughter mention going to the movies. She was worried that her daughter’s agreement had just been an empty words, so she reminded her, “Xiaxia, didn’t you say you were going to bring Little Wang to watch a movie? Don’t forget it’ll be crowded at the movie theater.”

Ruan Xia finally remembered her agreement to go watch a movie.

Little Wang immediately cheered. He jumped up and hugged his mom’s waist. “Mom, I want to go watch a movie. I want to go watch a movie!”

Actually, for a child, it wasn’t important what movie he watched or if he could understand the movie’s plot or not. He was already happy enough going out with his parents.

“Okay,” Ruan Xia had already agreed and taken the movie tickets. She had only momentarily forgotten about it. Now that Mother Ruan had reminded her, there was no reason for her to refuse.

She looked at Song Tingshen. Although she thought he would probably be okay with it, she should still ask him, “Do you have free time later?”

Song Tingshen had almost forgotten about the horror movie from this afternoon, but now he was reminded of it again. Although a normal mother wouldn’t bring a young child to watch horror movies, Ruan Xia wasn’t a normal mother…

Just in case, Song Tingshen euphemistically reminded her, “You have to choose a movie that’s suitable for a child under the age of four.”

He specifically emphasized Little Wang’s age. If she was going to watch a horror movie, he would immediately take their son and leave.
