Chapter 42 – Since Song Tingshen didn’t have a good relationship with his wife, why didn’t he divorce her? (2)
The answer to this question didn’t matter. Either way, it meant that this couple didn’t have a good relationship.
Song Tingshen was silent for a while before he answered, “She’s busy.”
Li Jing didn’t believe his answer. Mrs. Song was the wife of a rich man and didn’t need to work. How could she be too busy? She even had a housekeeper aunty to watch their son. Out of everyone, Mrs. Song was the person most likely to be bored to death.
She didn’t understand. Since Song Tingshen didn’t have a good relationship with his wife, why didn’t he divorce her?
This type of marriage wouldn’t bring anyone happiness. It couldn’t be that he simply wanted to give his son a fake happy family?
Li Jing didn’t know that Song Tingshen was telling the truth.
Ruan Xia was truly very busy.
In the past, she had many friends and a rich social life. It was normal for a friend to not see her for a few days in a row. Although she didn’t have friends to hang out with in this world, she had signed up for two classes. Other than the time set aside for sleeping and playing with Little Wang, her schedule was packed full from her English class and baking class.
Li Jing grinded her teeth and said, “Then my older brother and future sister-in-law are going to be disappointed today. I thought we would be able to see the boss’s wife today.”
Song Tingshen’s driver looked at her through the rearview mirror. Although he wasn’t chatty, he was perceptive.
This young lady seemed interested in CEO Song? She was sure to be dissapointed. He had been Song Tingshen’s driver for the past two years. It wasn’t too long or too short. He had a good understanding of his boss. Regardless if his boss’s relationship with his wife was good or not, he knew that the young women that pursued his boss for his money or feelings wouldn’t be successful.
Song Tingshen didn’t respond. Although Li Jing was his good friend’s younger sister, he didn’t put any extra effort to look after her or pay attention to her.

During this period of time, Song Tingshen always came home on time. Ruan Xia had gotten used to eat dinner with him.
When the housekeeper aunty had finished bring out the last dish, she mentioned, “Madam, Mr. Song said he won’t be coming home to eat dinner, so I only made four dishes today.”
Ruan Xia froze in surprise for a moment. So Song Tingshen wouldn’t be coming home to eat dinner…
But really, even the housekeeper aunty knew he wasn’t going to come home in the evening while she, his wife-in-name, had no idea. This plastic couple really treated each other like strangers!
The housekeeper aunty usually ate meals with them. Two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, and one soup was enough for two adults and one child.
Little Wang had a virtue that Ruan Xia especially liked; he wasn’t a picky eater and was very well-behaved when eating.
One of her relatives had a child that behaved very badly at mealtimes. The child was a picky eater, and she felt bad watching her older relatives following after the child and trying to cajole the child to eat more food.
In contrast, Little Wang was a good eater. He would eat whatever he was given. Probably because he had a good appetite and enjoyed eating, so his body was slightly chubby. Fortunately, kids at his age were cute even if they were chubby. However, the doctor had already started to remind them that Little Wang should eat less snacks…
Ruan Xia couldn’t help thinking; was there any age when people could gorge themselves silly if they wanted too and eat whatever food they wanted?
When you were a child, you weren’t allowed to eat too many snacks. You had to control your weight. Once you grew up, you had to be even more careful. She had once thought pregnant women could eat whatever they wanted, but actually, pregnant women had to manage their weight too in order to avoid various health complications.
