The Villain’s Mother - Chapter 113

Chapter 113 – Although, it was a bit bland compared to the original owner’s richly colorful life… (1)

Song Tingshen’s words completely dispelled Ruan Xia’s misgivings and uneasiness.

It seemed that he believed there was nothing between her and Duan Chi. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said that. Ruan Xia propped up her cheek in one hand and sighed. No wonder more and more people like the older men type. She had to admit that his reaction compared to hers clearly showed the difference in their ages. He was 11 years older than her, and he hadn’t wasted those 11 years. He was mature and had a successful and reliable career. If he was really thrown into confusion by Duan Chi’s words, it would be subverting her positive image of him.

Based on their relationship, under the premise of having been honest with each other, there really was no need for them to lie to each other. On this point, Ruan Xia believed that he didn’t have anyone outside either, and he returned her confidence with the same trust. This made Ruan Xia feel very good.

Although they were a plastic couple, the law still required monogamy. Even if the original owner and Song Tingshen had agreed they wouldn’t interfere with each other’s lives…. infidelity wasn’t some glorious thing after all, right?

As for Duan Chi, as long as Song Tingshen believed her and she wasn’t interested in pursuing a romantic relationship outside her marriage, she didn’t have to be afraid of Duan Chi causing trouble for her.

She had thoroughly scolded Duan Chi in their recent encounter, so he shouldn’t be trying anything else for a short period of time at least. Moreover, Ruan Xia felt that Duan Chi was suffering from Chūnibyō. What had he made up in his mind to think she was living in an extreme misery of a sorrowful marriage and needed him to save her from this torment…?

(T/N: Chūnibyō is a Japanese colloquial term usually used to describe early teens who have delusions of grandeur.)

Perhaps, after some time had passed and he had calmed down, he would be able to think things through on his own. Wait, no, perhaps he might fall in love with another person within a short period of time.

In the novel, Duan Chi didn’t even make it to passerby-level. This meant that after the original owner married her second husband, Duan Chi didn’t appear.

Thinking of this, Ruan Xia felt relieved. At the same time, she decided she absolutely wouldn’t interact with anyone from the original owner’s group of plastic friends. She had no idea if there were any difficult to deal with characters in that group. The original owner was easily able to handle socializing with them, but she couldn’t handle playing around like that. It would be better to properly live out her life.

Her current lifestyle was quite lovely too. Every day, she was enriching herself. Although, it was a bit bland compared to the original owner’s richly colorful life…

Little Wang was currently gnawing away on a slice of watermelon. The watermelon juice was flowing down from his chin to his small vest’s collar. He was eating very happily, and his attention was riveted on the cartoon on the TV. He was extremely content.

He didn’t like bibs. Every time an adult put one on him, he would be very annoyed. There was nothing that could be done about that. His parents simply prepared a few more outfits for him, so that he could change out of them when his clothes got dirty.

Mother Ruan was holding a small towel and she kept wiping his face, but her thoughts had drifted far away. She had always been very concerned about her daughter and son-in-law’s relationship.

Her daughter had married very well. Relatives and family friends that weren’t interested in interacting with her before had started sucking up to her after her daughter’s marriage. She and her husband lived in a large, comfortable condo, and their daughter would give them monthly living expenses. They didn’t have to work or worry about having enough money for food and other necessities. Their son-in-law was always more than generous during holidays. If she had to think about it, it was only after their daughter got married that she could hold her head high.

Everyone now said that she had given birth to a good daughter and she and her husband were born under lucky stars.
