Chapter 72 – Was she making fun of him for buying three durians? (2)
Ruan Xia quickly went about her task. She used up almost an entire durian to make several durian box cakes. Considering that some people might not like durian and since there happened to be mangos at home, she also made mango box cakes.
The next day, in addition to what she had prepared for Little Wang, she also packed up two pieces of durian in a glass box and placed that box plus a durian box cake in a lunch bag. Then, copying the housewives in Japanese dramas, she solemnly presented the lunch bag to Song Tingshen on his way out.
“Take this with you to work and remember to refrigerate it.” Worried that Song Tingshen would refuse, she added, “It’s been too hot lately. The durian will go to waste if we don’t finish it soon.”
Song Tingshen readily took the lunch bag, but then he felt a bit self-conscious with how fast he had accepted the lunch bag. “… Thank you.”
Seeing him like this, Ruan Xia couldn’t help inwardly sighing. He was the one that suggested acting like a loving couple in front of Little Wang.
Strictly speaking, other than having a child together, he and the original owner might as well be strangers even after four years of marriage. If it wasn’t for Little Wang’s benefit, his pride and self-esteem wouldn’t have allowed him to be the first one to take a step forward in their relationship.
Song Tingshen didn’t have the driver pick him up today. He drove himself to work instead. It happened to be the beginning of the month today, so it was time to transfer Ruan Xia’s allowance for the month. As he was doing so, he paused and added 100,000 yuan to the original number.
The original owner’s account already had a lot of money even before the addition of this month’s allowance. When Ruan Xia received the text message notification for the money that got deposited in her account, she was startled. After she transmigrated, her life had become much more luxurious than before. But still, it couldn’t be compared to how the original owner spent her life.
What a life she lived.
Ruan Xia looked a bit glum as she sat in a booth.
How many women could resist a man like Song Tingshen? He was a handsome gentleman that was rich and generous with his money. He was also calm and open-minded.
If he kept up these grandiose gestures, she might really end up falling for him.
That being said, even if she did fall for him, Song Tingshen wouldn’t like her back. If a skillful woman like the original owner couldn’t conquer him, her chances at success would be less than improbable.
If she fell for Song Tingshen, he would definitely go along with it because of Little Wang. But, when she carefully thought about it, everything he had done had only been for Little Wang. He didn’t have any feelings for her at all. Going down this path was the same as dashing forward for self-abuse. As soon as she thought about the drama this would lead, she wanted to light a row of candles for herself in sympathy.
Ruan Xia had always followed the principle of not giving herself a hard time.
Right now, she has money, free time, and beauty. From top to bottom, she was adorned with something a winner in life would have. Why stir up drama for herself, especially the bitter type of drama?
