Reality 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.
After Little Wang lied down to sleep, he didnât fall asleep right away. Instead, he asked, âDad, will you and mom have another child?â
It was obvious that Little Wang was still bothered by the teasing questions asked at the wedding.
Song Tingshen tucked the summer blanket around his son and asked, âYou donât want a little brother or sister?â
Little Wang shook his head and said how he really felt, âItâs not that. Dad, mom now hugs me and kisses me. If mom has another kid, will she go back to before? When she didnât hug me or kiss me?â
Song Tingshen was stunned. He hadnât expected this would be his sonâs answer. However, if he stood in Little Wangâs shoes, he could understand why he would think this. After giving birth to their son, Ruan Xia hadnât been close to their son. As Little Wangâs father, since he had that type of agreement with Ruan Xia, he couldnât ask her to be a good mother. After all, she didnât love their child, and he couldnât 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.
However, 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 Wangâs heart yearned for his motherâs 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.
He didnât like Ruan Xia, and Ruan Xia didnât like him. In the past years, they had maintained an equilibrium of sorts. Neither side would interfere with the other personâs life. If they didnât have a child together, this type of marriage wouldnât be bad.
Song Tingshen hugged Little Wang and comforted him. âShe wonât. And, dad and mom donât have any plans on having another child.â
As an adult, he knew what kind of person Ruan Xia was. Thus, even if she had become slightly better now, it didnât 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 wouldnât be able to do that.
Little Wang opened his eyes wide and asked, âReally?â
He thought it over before adding, âIf mom will keep hugging me and kissing me, then I would want a younger sibling.â
Song Tingshen couldnât help laughing. On the surface, he looked relaxed, but his heart felt slightly heavy.

Ruan Xia didnât know this father and son pair would have this conversation. She didnât know Little Wang would have those thoughts, much less all the thoughts that would well up in Song Tingshen from Little Wangâs words.
She was happily lying in bed, browsing Weibo, and enjoying the cool air from the air conditioner.
Of 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.
You had to pay a price to be a one in a million beauty!
From now on, she and delicious high-calorie food were destined to never meet!
Just 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.
