Chapter 88 – He thought she was pretty because she was his mom (3)
Although Ruan Xia was suffering from insomnia and tossed and turned in bed until 1AM before blearily falling asleep, she had gotten used to waking up at a certain time, so she still woke up at 7AM.
Don’t plan on sleeping in once you have a kid. Ruan Xia went about getting out of bed, washing up, and going downstairs on autopilot. Song Tingshen and Little Wang were already sitting at the dining table and waiting to eat breakfast.
Song Tingshen was surprised to see her getting up so early. “Didn’t you say you had trouble falling asleep last night?”
Ruan Xia sat down across from him looking as if she was ready to die and with black circles under her eyes. “Still woke up at 7AM anyways. This won’t do. I have to go to the beauty salon to get a facial today.”
In the past, her circumstance wouldn’t allow her this luxury. But now that she had transmigrated here, it would be a waste to not use the original owner’s numerous platinum credit cards and diamond credit cards at the beauty salon.
She didn’t even need to look in the mirror to know that her beauty value had dropped by 00001%.
Little Wang had followed Ruan Xia to the beauty salon once. He had a lasting impression of the orange juice and small cookies offered by the female employees at the beauty salon. His eyes immediately brightened, and he exclaimed, “Mom, I’ll go with you!”
Ruan Xia hesitated. Several kids at Little Wang’s nursery school had gotten sick, and it was being tentatively assumed that they had gotten sick from a viral infection. Last night, a lot of parents had informed the teachers that they were keeping their kids home for the time being. For the sake of safety, Ruan Xia had done the same too.
“Bring him along.” Song Tingshen glanced at Ruan Xia. “Once you guys are done with that, you can come to the office to look for me. We can eat out together in the afternoon.”
Ruan Xia felt there was something strange about Song Tingshen today.
It was strange that he was offering to eat out without Little Wang’s requesting it. However, once she thought of how they had agreed to act like a loving married couple in front of Little Wang, she understood why Song Tingshen had taken the initiative of suggesting this.
“Okay.”
After Song Tingshen left for work, Ruan Xia went back to her room to look through the original owner’s collection of membership cards to beauty salons. It would be great if there was one near Song Tingshen’s office. After all, she had a lesson with her foreigner teacher in the morning and a baking class after lunch. She had to wait until she was done with her lessons before she could go to the beauty salon.
The original owner had a large pile of cards. It was a dazzling sight.
When Ruan Xia was rummaging around to look for more cards, Little Wang suddenly came up to her with a red booklet and asked with a curious expression, “Mom, what is this?”
She turned around and saw that Little Wang was holding the marriage certificate. Stunned, she put down her bag and took the marriage certificate from Little Wang. “Where did you find this?”
Little Wang pointed at a cabinet in the corner. “There.”
“This is a marriage certificate.” Ruan Xia opened up the marriage certificate booklet. Inside the booklet, there was a photo of the original owner and Song Tingshen. They were both wearing white with a red backdrop behind them. It clearly should have been a festive photo, but their smiles looked forced. It was a very awkward-looking photo.
Just as Ruan Xia was about to close the booklet, she inadvertently saw Song Tingshen’s birthday.
September 21st.
Isn’t that today?
Today is Song Tingshen’s birthday?
That’s why for the very first time ever he had suggested eating out together this afternoon?
Ruan Xia tried her best to search through the original owner’s memory, but the strange thing was that Song Tingshen had never asked the original owner to go out to eat with him in the past few years on his birthday.
Little Wang tugged her hand and took the marriage certificate from her. As he looked at the photo in the booklet, his little face wrinkled up. He asked, “How come I’m not in the photo? Mom, did you and dad secretly take this photo?”
“You weren’t here yet.”
“Where was I?”
Ruan Xia teased him, “Where do you think?”
Little Wang pursed his lips. Holding Ruan Xia’s hand with his little chubby hand, he raised his head to look at her and smiled, revealing his little white teeth. “In mom’s heart.”
