The Villain’s Mother

Chapter 267 – Could it be that Song Tingshen wanted to express that he loves her a little bit more than she loves him? (2)

Ruan Xia giggled and decided not to quibble that he had only sent her 5.20 yuan. She had wondered whose excellent genes Little Wang inherited for him to be creative enough to rarely repeat the sweet words he used. And now, she knew.

In the past, she had always thought that men were pig trotters and that it was meaningless to be in a relationship, but now she took back those words. Song Tingshen had proved her wrong.

Being in a relationship was quite interesting!

However, you had to choose the right person. If it was dating someone like Qin Yu, the relationship would be short-lived. No, she would never date someone like him to begin with. To think that she had thought he was a good husband and a loyal man. Now, she only felt scornful of him!

Seeing that Ruan Xia didn’t respond, Song Tingshen put his phone to the side and went back to work.

Actually, Ruan Xia wasn’t the only one that had been proven wrong. Song Tingshen felt the same way. In the past, he thought Little Wang and his career were the most important things in his life. Everything else was ranked far behind and wasn’t worthy of his attention.

Song Tingshen pinched the bridge of his nose and laughed at himself.

Li Yuanhang’s words were right. His springtime has come.

Without him noticing, photos of her and Little Wang had appeared on his phone screen, his wallet, and even his desk. As for whether the person he wanted to see in those photos was Little Wang or her, only he knew.

Ruan Xia didn’t reply because she didn’t know how to respond to his straightforward words of love and because she was looking at a job site. She still wanted to find something to do. It felt pointless to idle her time away. Although her workload was very light in the past month, her arrangements filled her schedule. In the end, she felt that a busier life was safer and more secure. If she really had to be a rice weevil, she couldn’t be a happy one that ate without worries. She would be a rice weevil that worried over not having enough rice to eat in the next moment and spend her days trembling with fear.

After browsing the site, she didn’t find anything suitable. After all, this wasn’t the best period for job hunting. There were still a few months before the end of the year. Most companies wouldn’t start recruiting until after the holidays. Ruan Xia thought it over. Song Tingshen had previously proposed that she start a business. She had a lot of savings. Song Tingshen gave her a lot of money every month, and she couldn’t finish spending it all. After a few months of this, she had saved a lot of money. It wouldn’t be a problem for her to open a store.

Ruan Xia wanted to call Song Tingshen to talk about this, but thinking that he was probably busy with work, she could only hold back. She decided to wait until he came home to discuss this with him. After all, this would be her first time doing business, so she wanted to get advice from someone that had experience with this.

Song Tingshen wasn’t idle either. He had used all of his contacts to do his best to investigate Qin Yu.

The information he got this time was more detailed and precise than last time and even included the name of Qin Yu’s first girlfriend. The investigation included almost everything about him, big or small.

Although his friends were puzzled on why he wanted to investigate a person he had no intersection with, they were still very helpful. After carefully looking over everything that could be found about Qin Yu, Song Tingshen finally sighed in relief.

Translator Ramblings: I wonder if Qin Yu would lose interest in Ruan Xia if he finds out that she’s not the original owner.

Sort of related, I recently read a webnovel where the main character transmigrates into an alternate universe where she chose to marry and focus on her family instead of her career. She doesn’t get the original owner’s memories, so she initially misunderstands and thinks her husband is a jerk that doesn’t appreciate the original owner’s contribution to the family. She gradually finds out that the original owner’s husband really loves and appreciates the original owner, and that he and the original owner have a good relationship. She doesn’t see herself as his wife and considers if she should tell him the truth, that his wife of 10+ years is dead for all intents and purposes.

I feel Qin Yu’s situation is similar to that husband’s. If he knew that he was in an alternate universe, I don’t think he would chase after Ruan Xia. I think he would mourn the death of his wife.

What do you guys think?
