The Villain's Mother

Chapter 171 – Sure enough, people were more vulnerable when they weren’t feeling well (2)

Although Song Tingshen offered, Ruan Xia didn’t think it was appropriate to ask a man, who she wasn’t particularly close to, to help her buy sanitary pads. Besides, the female staff had already said she would have it sent over soon.

Ruan Xia endured the embarrassment and replied, “No thanks. I already called the front desk. Thank you.”

Song Tingshen asked again, “I’ll go buy brown sugar at the convenience store. Do you need medicine? There’s pharmacies nearby.”

Although Ruan Xia felt embarrassed, her heart felt quite warm. She wouldn’t have been unhappy if Song Tingshen didn’t show any concern towards her. After all, she had over 10 years of getting periods and could be considered quite experienced in this area. She could solve this problem herself and didn’t need someone else’s care.

Ruan Xia thought it over before replying, “Okay then, but you don’t have to buy too much. I don’t need to take medicine either. I’ll be fine after resting today. If it’s convenient for you, please bring me breakfast. 蟹蟹!”

Song Tingshen stared at the “蟹蟹” for a long time before he figured out that she meant 谢谢.

What a bad habit, deliberately having a typo. He can’t let her adversely affect Little Wang’s study in the future.

(T/N: 蟹蟹 and 谢谢 have the same pinyin (xiè xiè). One means crab, and the other means thank you. Using 蟹蟹 (crab) to say thank you is playful texting humor.)

Song Tingshen took Little Wang out of the hotel room. The hotel provided breakfast, but it was in buffet-style. Carrying Little Wang, he left the hotel, went to a nearby 24-hours convenience store, and brought the brown sugar that Ruan Xia needed. When he passed the sanitary pads counter, he looked at it several times. Since she said she didn’t need him to buy it, then he probably...

The breakfast options in the convenience stores were very convenient with a wide variety. Song Tingshen brought hot congee for Ruan Xia. He also bought steamed buns, hot soymilk, and hard boiled eggs.

Little Wang’s heart only had his mom. He asked, “Are we buying breakfast for mom?”

Song Tingshen answered, “Yes. Why? Do you want to eat it too? Dad will buy more then.”

“No.” Little Wang shook his head and pointed at the freezer section. “Let’s buy ice cream for mom. She likes to eat that.”

“Do you like it or does mom like it?”

Anxious, Little Wang stamped his feet, looking super adorable. “Dad, how could you say that! It’s mom that likes it. I definitely won’t eat any today. Buy it for mom so she can eat it!”

It was true that Ruan Xia really likes to eat ice cream, but she restrained herself for the sake of her figure. However, she couldn’t hide this from Little Wang. He knew that his mom liked ice cream. Now that his mom was feeling unwell, then of course, they had to buy the foods that his mom likes.

Song Tingshen saw his chubby son being so anxious and hastily coaxed him, “Okay okay, it’s mom that likes to eat this, but she can’t eat ice cream today.”

Little Wang asked, “Why not?”

It wouldn’t be good for Song Tingshen to explain so much in the convenience store. He could only say, “Dad will explain it to you after we deliver breakfast to mom, okay?”

Little Wang nodded. “Okay.”

By the time Song Tingshen brought Little Wan back to the hotel, the housekeeper aunty had already changed out the sheets and mattress and Ruan Xia’s complexion looked better than before. Still, she looked listless.

Song Tingshen very patiently boiled hot water to make brown sugar water for her to drink.

Ruan Xia felt much better in her lower abdomen after drinking hot soymilk. Seeing how he was bustling about for her while she sat on a chair and ate a steamed custard bun, it was impossible for her to not feel anything.

Sure enough, people were more vulnerable when they weren’t feeling well. She actually felt somewhat touched by his efforts.

“Thank you,” Ruan Xia sincerely said.
