The Villain’s Mother

Chapter 93 – That guy hadn’t even appeared in person in the novel, so she really couldn’t take him seriously (2)

After they finished lunch, Ruan Xia brought Little Wang along with her to her baking class. There weren’t that many students in her class, and some of them were full-time housewives.

Little Wang had the habit of taking a nap after lunch, so he was already rubbing his eyes with his chubby little hands. Fortunately, little kids didn’t have any requirements for their sleeping environments. She placed him on the couch and put a coat over his little belly. It didn’t take long for him to fall asleep.

“Is this your son?” Mrs. Liu, who had a pretty good relationship with Ruan Xia, curiously asked. “I didn’t believe you before when you said that you were married and had a kid. So it’s true after all.”

Ruan Xia was the youngest student in this class.

“Yup, he’s four.”

Mrs. Liu subtracted this number from her current age and was even more surprised. “You had a baby before you turned 21?”

Once this was said, the way that Mrs. Liu looked at Ruan Xia changed. Ruan Xia’s clothing and makeup showed that she had money without her needing to say anything. Anyone that was knowledgeable about brands could tell that Ruan Xia’s bags were worth hundreds of thousands. But, why would a woman have a baby at such a young age? It was easy for people to jump to ill conclusions.

Could it be that she was someone’s mistress? Or perhaps, she was a woman that used her pregnancy to oust the original wife and become a rich man’s second wife?

Ruan Xia naturally knew that Mrs. Liu had misunderstood her. She quickly explained, “This is the first marriage for my husband and me. It’s just that when I met him, I was only 20. We weren’t careful enough then, and I got pregnant when we were dating. At that time, our relationship was very stable, so we ended up getting married.”

She wasn’t the type of person that would stay silent when she knew she was being misunderstood, especially when someone misunderstood and thought she was a mistress. If there was an opportunity for clarification, of course she had to explain clearly.

Mrs. Liu froze for a moment in surprise. A bit embarrassed, she said, “It’s because you’re so young…”

Unbothered, Ruan Xia waved her hand. “A lot of people misunderstand. There’s even people that think Little Wang is my younger brother.”

Although Mrs. Liu hadn’t known Ruan Xia for long, she knew that she wasn’t the scheming type, so she instinctively believed Ruan Xia’s explanation.

It made sense when she thought about it. Ruan Xia was so pretty. It would have been normal if she had met a rich second generation when she was 20 and married him.

Ruan Xia had already decided early this morning. Since today was Song Tingshen’s birthday and there wasn’t enough time to find and buy him a gift, she would simply take advantage of her baking class to make him a birthday cake. This cake would only be for two adults and one child, so it didn’t need to be big. A six-inch one would be good enough. This would save her time, and it wouldn’t be wasteful.

She didn’t know how to make expert-level cakes yet, but after a few times of giving Song Tingshen food, she knew his tastes. Although he liked sweets, it couldn’t be too sweet. Even with the help of her teacher, it took her nearly two hours to make the birthday cake.

Once she had packed up the cake, Little Wang woke up in a sleepy daze. Holding his hand, Ruan Xia led him to the bathroom. He was completely awake after she helped him wash his face.

Ruan Xia had planned on going to a beauty salon for skin care maintenance, but it was already a little past 4PM. By the time she was done with her beauty treatment, it would be at least 6PM. If it was any other day, that would be fine. However, she already knew that today was Song Tingshen’s birthday. She couldn’t have him waiting for her on his birthday, right? And so, Ruan Xia decided to skip the beauty treatment today. She could just go home later and use an expensive face mask instead.

After leaving her baking class, Ruan Xia carried the cake box to her car and drove herself and Little Wang to Song Corporation. It would take about 20 minutes of driving to get to Song Corporation from here. By the time they got there, it would be about 5PM.

Ruan Xia wasn’t the only person that knew today was Song Tingshen’s birthday. Li Jing also knew.
