Chapter 182 - Mom and dad are playing so well together now (1)
Even Assistant Chen wouldn’t have thought that Song Tingshen’s “more important dinner” was with Ruan Xia and Little Wang.
Ruan Xia had made reservations at a restaurant in the city with a good reputation. Fortunately, today was a weekday and it wasn’t a problem to reserve a small booth. Taking into consideration that there would be a little kid with them, she chose food with a cooking style that was less oily and less heavily seasoned, Cantonese cuisine.
Little Wang saw Song Tingshen coming out from the elevator and said with excitement, “Dad is coming out. I see him!”
Ruan Xia knew that this father and son had a good relationship. She opened the car door and Little Wang practically flew out of the car. He shot over like a cannonball on his short, little legs and into Song Tingshen’s arms. Song Tingshen picked him up. The father and son exchanged a few words, both looking very happy.
Seeing their excellent relationship, Ruan Xia was grateful for the decision she had made at the time. Whether it was her or Little Wang, Song Tingshen’s continued existence was wonderful.
Song Tingshen walked over while carrying Little Wang. He opened the car door and got in.
Little Wang somewhat rejected sitting in a booster seat now. In his opinion, these seats were for little kids. He was already four years old and about to start elementary school. Why did he still have to sit in a booster seat?
“Dad, I don’t want to sit in the…” Little Wang wiggled his chubby body and attempted to fight for his interests.
Song Tingshen was a loving father, but he was a strict father when it came to principled issues. “No.”
He wasn’t satisfied until he enforced the rule of Little Wang having to sit in the booster seat and put on the seat belt too.
Displeased, Little Wang argued, “The other kids in my class don’t have to sit in booster seats.”
“That’s because their parents are too big-hearted.” On this type of issue, Ruan Xia naturally stood on the same side as Song Tingshen. She definitely wouldn’t play good cop while he played bad cop. They were always united in front of others, including with Little Wang. “Mom and dad are doing this for your safety. You don’t want mom and dad to split their attention on worrying about you when we’re driving, right? Little Wang, other things can be discussed, but not this one.”
Little Wang: “Oh, then when can I stop sitting in this?”
“Depends.”
Little Wang: “...”
Song Tingshen ruffled Little Wang’s head. “Your mom is right. You have to listen to mom.”
Little Wang pouted. “Mom and dad are playing so well together now. You’re both on the same side.”
There was a limit even to a precocious child’s ability to express himself, but both Song Tingshen and Ruan Xia knew what Little Wang menat.
When he said, “playing well together”, he meant that their relationship was good.
Neither Song Tingshen nor Ruan Xia refuted these words. In sync with each other, the two changed the topic by asking in unison, “Did you have fun at kindergarten today?”
Little Wang’s attention was easily diverted. He immediately started sharing with his parents the little things that happened in kindergarten today.
He happily gesticulated as he talked. Ruan Xia was driving and would occasionally chime in. Song Tingshen patiently listened to everything and would unequivocally answer whenever Little Wang wanted a response.
Little Wang’s little melon head didn’t contain a lot, but he still remembered that his mom had a test today. After remembering that, he caringly asked, “Mom, did you get a 100 on your test today?”
Ruan Xia was driving to the parking lot, and Song Tingshen didn't want her to be distracted. So, he took the initiative to answer for her. “Mom did a super good job today. She got 100 points and also took first place. That's why we’re eating out today, to help mom celebrate.”
