The Villain's Mother

Chapter 57 – After all, he had to take into consideration his close friend’s feelings and give him face (2)

Ruan Xia didn’t know about the little episode that had occured, but when Song Tingshen came back from the bathroom, she could clearly feel that his gaze was directed at her several times!

It couldn’t be that he had gone to an ophthalmologist to fix his eyes and now realized how she looked especially beautiful today, right?

All the way until the wedding was over, she kept waiting for an answer for why he was acting strangely, but there was nothing forthcoming.

Since Song Tingshen had drunk a lot, Ruan Xia would have to take over the task of driving. As the family of three said goodbye to Li Yuanhang and his wife, they also thanked them for inviting them.

Li Jing was standing at the side and stayed silent the entire time.

“You should bring your wife more often.” Li Yuanhang had also drunk a bit today and was in a good mood, so he wasn’t as careful with his words as he usually was. “Anyways, Ruan Xia, you’re really giving me face today. When the other two people in our dorm got married, you didn’t come to their weddings.”

Ruan Xia pretended she didn’t understand the real meaning of his words. She continued to smile as she responded, “I can’t be blamed for that. I didn’t get an invite for them. Even for today’s wedding, I had to shamelessly tag along.”

“Old Song, this your fault then. We’ve been telling you so many times to bring your family members along. Still, Ruan Xia, I have to help Old Song say something. He’s always come to our gatherings alone. It almost made us think he’s a bachelor.”

Seeing that Ruan Xia was pushing the blame onto him, Song Tingshen naturally wouldn’t quibble with her. He wouldn’t put her into a difficult position in front of his friends, so he smiled and said, “I’ll be sure to pay attention next time.”

“That won’t do.” Li Yuanhang’s wife took out her phone and said to Ruan Xia, “Let’s add each other on WeChat. These men are all so protective of each other. If we have each other’s contact information, we can keep each other informed, so these men can’t collude together to fabricate a story.”

“Sure.”

The two women added each other on WeChat. It could be considered an alliance successfully taking form.

Li Yuanhang’s wife winked at Song Tingshen and said, “You don’t mind that I added your wife on WeChat, right? When you guys have some gatherings in the future, I’ll directly invite her. After all, it’s really boring to listen to you guys catching up and bragging about your accomplishments.”

Song Tingshen somewhat helplessly said, “I don’t mind.”

However, he didn’t know if Ruan Xia would be willing to come along with him again. She had only come here today because of Little Wang’s pestering and didn’t seem interested in coming here at all. Or perhaps, she had agreed to come here because she was carried away by a whim.

After Song Tingshen’s family had left, Li Yuanhang’s wife held her husband’s hand and said, “I think Song Tingshen’s wife is pretty good, and she’s really beautiful too.”

Li Yuanhang immediately started to flatter his wife. “She’s not as pretty as you.”

“Liar, there’s no one here that looks better than her.”

Standing on the side, Li Jing didn’t say anything, but her hold on her purse became tighter.

—

Ruan Xia and Song Tingshen seemed to have a very good tacit understanding on Li Jing’s matter. They both knew Li Jing’s intentions, but neither pointed it out and treated the matter as if it was nonexistent.

Song Tingshen didn’t explain anything because he knew that Ruan Xia wouldn’t care even if she had misunderstood something.

The way they got along as a couple had already been set in stone. Unless Ruan Xia took the initiative to ask him about Li Jing, he wouldn’t bother explaining. His reasoning was very simple. It would be stupid to take the effort to explain something to a person that couldn’t care less.

Song Tingshen wasn’t worried if Ruan Xia would misunderstand him and think that he was keeping a mistress. In the same way that he didn’t care about what kind of people Ruan Xia spent time with when she went out, she didn’t care about what he did either.

With the way their relationship was, unless one party approached the other, it would remain unchanged forever. Unfortunately, whether it was Ruan Xia or Song Tingshen, neither had the intention of becoming closer with the other party.
