Little Wang nodded. "Mom spent all day playing with me. I feel okay."
"That's good."
Ruan Xia looked at Song Tingshen's tired appearance and felt tired on his behalf, so she said, "Little Wang, come here. Let dad go to his room to rest. He stayed up all night to take care of you. He's really tired right now."
Even if Song Tingshen was an iron man, it wouldn't be okay to torment his body like this.
Little Wang was very obedient to Ruan Xia. He hastily said to Song Tingshen, "Dad, go to sleep. I'll just play with mom."
It didn't need to be said that Song Tingshen was truly exhausted right now. He hadn't been able to sleep well on the train and stayed up all night when they got back home. He had a horrible headache right now. Still, if this was the past, he wouldn't be okay with leaving a child that was recovering from a fever with Ruan Xia. However, because of the past two days of interactions and his hope that she would become closer to their son, he put the chubby kid down. "Okay, dad will go straight to bed."
Song Tingshen looked at Ruan Xia. "I'll have to trouble you today."
Ruan Xia smiled. What a novel experience. She had played with "her son" for a day, and "her husband" had actually politely thanked her for it. He really was very amusing.
Song Tingshen didn't say anything else. Just as he was going up the stairs, Ruan Xia thought of the news article. Thinking that she could hammer in her earlier point, she said, "Did you see the news about City A's rain? If Little Wang and I hadn't gone there to see you, with your personality, you would have definitely taken an earlier flight back once you found that Little Wang was sick..."
She trailed off instead of completing her sentence. She was sure that Song Tingshen would understand her point.
Song Tingshen though her words were simply fanciful. It was just a coincidence.
He was a person that had his feet firmly rooted in reality, but at the moment, he couldn't find the words to refute her.
In the end, he could only silently go upstairs.
Ruan Xia had succeeded in her objective. But, although Song Tingshen had avoided an early death, she was still concerned about the current situation about the car accident. Although this car accident had nothing to do with her, she was the one that caused it to change. She silently prayed that the people involved in the car accident would be okay.
Song Tingshen was exhausted. He lied down on his bed after taking a shower. He was still thinking about Ruan Xia's earlier words. She was right. He would have changed his plane ticket and come back early if he found out that Little Wang was sick.
After thinking about it more, he drifted into thinking that Ruan Xia's logic made sense.
In the end, he could only force himself to think about the details of a contract. While thinking about this, he fell asleep within ten minutes.
When he woke up, it was already dusk.
Song Tingshen hadn't expected to sleep for so long, but this was truly the best sleep he had gotten during this period of time.
Wearing loungewear, he went downstairs. Ruan Xia and Little Wang were currently sitting on the sofa and watching cartoons. The housekeeper aunty was busy in the kitchen, and the smell of cooking was wafting out into the living room.
Ruan Xia happened to be looking at the staircase as he was walking down.
The light from the setting sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows and illuminated the glossy floor. Song Tingshen was holding onto the banister as he walked down the stairs in loungewear.
He had the presence and charm that a young man wouldn't have.
His face and his eyes showed that he was someone that had been striving and succeeding for over a decade.
In real life, Ruan Xia had rarely interacted with successful people like Song Tingshen. Seeing him now, she only had one thought - the novel's Ruan Xia was an excellent judge of character!
