Little Wang loudly answered, “Because mom is the prettiest!”


  “I like this answer, so I’ll agree.”


  The driving Song Tingshen heard all of the exchanges between the mother and son pair. Although Ruan Xia seemed the same to his senses, he was still felt grateful about her change in attitude.

  Yes, what he felt was gratefulness.

  Because she was now “charitably” bestowing Little Wang a pitifully small dose of concern and care, Little Wang had become livelier and more cheerful. His son was very happy every day. This made Song Tingshen, who had always been worried that his son would become withdrawn from a lack of motherly love, feel grateful from the bottom of his heart.

  Song Tingshen’s cell phone rang. The caller was Li Yuanhang.

  Song Tingshen answered the call on his Bluetooth headset. It was very noisy on the other side of the call, and he heard Li Yuanhang loudly saying, “Why aren’t you here yet? Pretty much everyone is already here. You’re the only one missing. Is there a traffic jam on the road?”


  Song Tingshen glanced at Ruan Xia and Little Wang through the rearview mirror. The two of them were still talking. In a deep voice, he said, “It’ll take another twenty minutes before we get to the hotel. Yuanhang, I’m bringing my family today.”


  Li Yuanhang casually replied, “Oh, I haven’t seen Little Wang in a long time. I miss him. Why didn’t you say it earlier? Maybe Little Wang could have been the flower boy.”


  Although he was casually saying this, he and his bride both had suitable children from their families to choose a flower girl from. Thus, the flower girl candidate had been chosen a while ago.

  At this point in the conversation, Song Tingshen was feeling a bit awkward. After thinking it over, he said, “It’s not just Little Wang.”


  After all, this was the first time that he was taking Ruan Xia to this sort of occasion. And, this was Li Yuanhang’s wedding too. He had to let his friend know in advance.

  Li Yuanhang thought he must have misheard. “Are you saying that your wife is coming too? I’m not having an auditory hallucination, right?” It was very rare to see his friend’s wife.

  Song Tingshen replied, “En.” It could be considered a reply.

  “Okay okay, no worries. I’ll reserve seats for your family of three.”


  After ending the call, Li Yuanhang was still feeling a bit stunned.

  Li Jing walked over to him and asked, “Were you talking to Big Brother Song on the phone? I was just at the venue, and I didn’t see him there.” She was wearing a pink dress today and looked rather beautifully moving.

  Li Yuanhang nodded. “He’s still on the way here. He should be here soon. Oh right, you should go get ready to help me welcome them. Song Tingshen’s wife is coming too.”


  When she heard the last part, Li Jing froze in surprise. In disbelief, she asked, “Mrs. Song is coming?”


  Other friends came over to look for Li Yuanhang and happened to hear these words.

  One of his friends said, “Old Li, it’s really all thanks to you that we’re lucky enough to meet the legendary Mrs. Song today. I’m going to go wait at the door. I want to see how pretty she really is for Old Song to always be hiding her away like she’s his treasure.

  Li Jing didn’t know if she was feeling excitement or panic. She felt that Mrs. Song must have decided to come here because of her call last night. So, why was Mrs. Song coming here? To demonstrate something?

  If she could cause Mrs. Song to do this, does that mean she could believe that Mrs. Song was a bit threatened by her?
