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 didnât have to worry about how her work was progressing, deal with difficult customers, or squeeze herself into a crowded bus or subway. She didnât have to rush about anymore to earn an insufficient salary. She knew that her spirit was being corrupted by this type of rich womanâs 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 wouldnât be able to adapt if she had to go back to her original life.
There truly wasnât anything negative that could be said about Father Ruanâs cooking skills. His cooking was even better than the Song familyâs housekeeper aunty.
Ruan Xia had already forgotten about watching a movie in the evening. She happily peeled crayfish while flattering Father Ruan. âDad, with your cooking skills, Iâm sure youâll have a booming business if you open a restaurant.â
After the novelâs Ruan Xia was no longer an ignorant child, she hadnât 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 hadnât been heard in so long, Father Ruan drank an extra glass of wine and cheerfully said, âIâm good enough to cook meals for the family but being a chef isnât possible.â
âGrandfatherâs cooking is the best!â Little Wang was the king of flattery, so he was sure to express his support and affection at this moment.â The doctor aunty said Iâve gotten fat and need to lose weight.â
It was true. The chubby kidâs 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 didnât 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 didnât say much, he ate more food than usual.
Even when the family of three was about to leave, Mother Ruan still hadnât seen her daughter mention going to the movies. She was worried that her daughterâs agreement had just been an empty words, so she reminded her, âXiaxia, didnât you say you were going to bring Little Wang to watch a movie? Donât forget itâll be crowded at the movie theater.â
Ruan Xia finally remembered her agreement to go watch a movie.
Little Wang immediately cheered. He jumped up and hugged his momâs waist. âMom, I want to go watch a movie. I want to go watch a movie!â
Actually, for a child, it wasnât important what movie he watched or if he could understand the movieâs plot or not. He was already happy enough going out with his parents.
âOkay,â 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, âDo you have free time later?â
Song Tingshen had almost forgotten about the horror movie from this afternoon, but now he was reminded of it again. Although a normal mother wouldnât bring a young child to watch horror movies, Ruan Xia wasnât a normal mother...
Just in case, Song Tingshen euphemistically reminded her, âYou have to choose a movie thatâs suitable for a child under the age of four.â
He specifically emphasized Little Wangâs age. If she was going to watch a horror movie, he would immediately take their son and leave.
