The Villain's Mother

Chapter 20 – “Dad, haven’t you noticed that mom is sucking up you?” (1)

Ruan Xia merely wanted to avoid the possibility of natural and man-made disasters. She knew that her current mood had gone to an extreme with all sorts of emotions displayed on her face. She wouldn’t get angry if Song Tingshen, who didn’t know what was going on, started suspecting that there was something wrong with her brain. But, since she clearly knew the plot, she really couldn’t persuade herself to treat it as if this was a normal trip home.

Song Tingshen felt increasingly confused. What Ruan Xia was plotting? However, as the older one in their relationship, he tried to be as tolerant of her as possible. He was older than her by 11 years. Since she was young and not as mature, he would let her have her way instead of bickering with her.

In addition, he felt gratitude towards her because she had given him a child. It didn’t matter if the way she had gone about doing that had been appropriate or not. They were both Song Shuyan’s parents. Even though he couldn’t see her as his wife, he gave her everything that he should as her legal husband.

And so, he didn’t ask Ruan Xia why she wanted to take the train. She had already bought the tickets, so he would just accept it.

Ruan Xia couldn’t help but sigh in relief when Song Tingshen didn’t say anything. Based on what she had seen so far, Song Tingshen seemed like someone that could be a novel’s male protagonist. Although he wasn’t talkative, his temperament was okay. Of course, most of his exhibited behaviors were mostly in line with someone of his age group. After all, he was a successful 35-year-old man.

Pushing her luck, she suggested, “Can we take the subway over there?”

Song Tingshen froze in surprise. Right now, the word “strange” wouldn’t be sufficient describe her.

Ruan Xia had her reasons for making this request.

Although the heavy rain hadn’t started and they weren’t going to the airport, she still wanted to take more precautions. There was no way to hit a subway train with a truck...

“Are you okay?” Song Tingshen finally asked.

Ruan Xia lowered her head. Looking somewhat disheartened, she said, “I’m scared because of that dream I had.”

When she had read novels in the past, she hadn’t been able to understand why those protagonists hadn’t been able to keep their calm in critical situations. Those characters would practically collapse under the stress and do crazy things at the moments when it was crucial for them to remain rational. But now, she understood.

Because she was scared she was going to die. She was scared that Song Tingshen was going to die.

Of course, even if Song Tingshen wasn’t her husband in name, she would still feel scared for him if she found out that he was in danger of being killed.

Song Tingshen inwardly sighed. His silence was acquiesce to Ruan Xia’s peculiar request.

In contrast, little Song Shuyan found the idea novel. No one in his family had ever taken him on the subway before.

There would be a lot of people at a subway station, so Song Tingshen picked up the chubby child in one hand while dragging a small suitcase with the other hand. Ruan Xia followed after them into the subway station with her rolling suitcase.

No what what city it was, the subway trains would be crowded with people taking it to transfer to a high-speed railway station.

Ruan Xia’s beauty was indisputable. Even if she were to appear in a film, her beauty wouldn’t be any worse than an actress. As for the kid, he was white and chubby like mochi and dressed fashionably. He looked pretty adorable. Song Tingshen, who was standing tall and straight, looking straight ahead, and radiated a naturally oppressive aura, was undoubtedly a successful person.

This family of three’s looks were able to attract the gazes of many people. Those people even turned their heads around for a second look.

Ruan Xia ended up being pushed closer to Song Tingshen because of the cramped space in the subway train. The two of them were very close. It would usually be easy for a romantic mood to form between a man and woman when they were this close, but these two were different.

She didn’t feel any romantic tension and neither did Song Tingshen. Despite being so close, the two of them were able to avoid eye contact.
