Chapter 31 – “Dad said he’s not jealous.” (3)
Song Tingshen was currently sitting at his desk and reading work emails on his computer. His energy level was very good after taking a nap this afternoon.
Just as he was dealing with work matters, he saw his chubby son rushing into the room and looking deeply troubled.
Seeing his son holding his little pillow, Song Tingshen’s first thought was that Ruan Xia had kicked him out of her room. He wasn’t surprised. She didn’t like children. He had already been taken aback by her unusual behavior during the past two days. Thus, Song Tingshen wasn’t surprised that she had returned to her old self.
In the past, Song Tingshen disapproved of Ruan Xia’s behavior. But, after a few years had gone, he got used to it, and it was beneath his notice.
It was only that their son hadn’t gotten used to it.
Song Tingshen beckoned the chubby kid over and asked with a gentle expression, “What’s wrong?”
Fortunately, his son had a good personality. He was extroverted, lively, and cheerful. Although he would sometimes be unhappy because of his mom’s attitude, it didn’t take him long to forget each incident. Song Tingshen could give his son a good life in terms of materialistic goods and paternal love, but he couldn’t ask Ruan Xia to become a good mother.
After all, in the past four years, the two of them had already agreed to mind their own business and not interfere with each other’s life.
Song Tingshen didn’t think he had the ability to change Ruan Xia either.
The chubby kid carefully looked at his father. He was still young and couldn’t tell for sure if his dad was happy or sad, so he could only ask, “Dad, will you feel unhappy if I sleep with mom?”
It was rare for Song Tingshen to be caught off guard, but he would have never expected his son to ask this question. He froze in surprise.
The chubby kid misunderstood. He thought that his dad was truly upset about this.
This was a difficult position to be in.
“Dad, don’t be sad.” The chubby kid’s language skills were top-notch. Like a child prodigy, he even started to persuade, “I won’t sleep with mom every night. Mom gets scared when she has to sleep by herself. I’m just going there to keep her company.”
Song Tingshen slightly twitched his lips. It almost couldn’t be noticed. “Did your mom tell you that?”
He knew his son well. If someone hadn’t coached him, he wouldn’t say these words.
He didn’t even need to think about it. The person that coached his son had to be Ruan Xia.
The chubby kid betrayed his mom without hesitation. “Mom said that you’ll feel jealous if I sleep with her. That you’ll be sad and unhappy. Dad, don’t be like this. A man shouldn’t be petty.”
Song Tingshen: “... Dad isn’t jealous.”
The chubby kid looked at him and asked, “You’re really not jealous?”
Song Tingshen patiently endured, “I’m not.”
The chubby kid continued to ask, “Then, I can sleep with mom tonight?”
“... You can.”
The chubby kid cheered. After taking a few steps towards the door, he turned around. Still a bit worried, he asked, “Really?”
“Really.”
The chubby kid ran back into the neighboring room as fast as possible.
Ruan Xia was currently leisurely browsing through Weibo. She saw that the chubby kid had returned, but before she could ask why, he had already scurried up the bed. He was very agile for someone of his size.
Lying next to Ruan Xia, he said, “Dad said he’s not jealous.”
The chubby kid added, “Mom, he’s really not jealous, so I can sleep with you tonight.”
Ruan Xia: “...”
