Chapter 244 - Why did he want to test Ruan Xia like that? He should know better. (3)
It was naturally impossible to hide Ruan Xia's decision to resign from Little Wang. Otherwise, he'll definitely have objections when he finds out.
At the dinner table, Ruan Xia very solemnly announced this news to Little Wang, "Son, I have something to tell you. Mom won't go to work after this week."
Little Wang wasn't surprised and only asked, "Mom, are you unhappy at work?"
"... Yeah." Ruan Xia nodded. Although Qin Yu didn't come to the branch office every day, she still felt awkward about working for his company. She had boldly said that she would buy winter clothes for Song Tingshen and Little Wang when she got her paycheck, but now, she might not get that check.
Little Wang comforted her, "If you're not happy, then don't go. Mom's happiness is the most important thing."
Ruan Xia was touched by these words. She hugged Little Wang and kissed him.
Song Tingshen observed them from the side. He had clearly said those same words to her multiple times, but she hadn't been so moved or so happy. There really was a big difference in treatment.
Little Wang waited until Ruan Xia was done being moved to say, "Mom, I don't like going to kindergarten every day."
From Little Wang's perspective, he went to kindergarten to go to school. There wasn't much difference between that and his mom going to work. Since mom can stop going to work because she was unhappy, can he have a bold idea?
To his surprise, Ruan Xia and Song Tingshen said in unison, "Don't even think about it!"
They understood exactly where this chubby kid was going with those words.
He wanted to stop going to kindergarten! Dream on!
Little Wang was wronged. "Why can mom stop going to work because she's unhappy? I'm not very happy every day either."
Song Tingshen answered, "Because I have double standards."
Ruan Xia laughed.

Little Wang was gradually gaining awareness that there was a difference between boys and girls. Song Tingshen and Ruan Xia had talked it over. As long as he was at home and had free time, he would be the one giving Little Wang a bath. And tonight, Song Tingshen had an important task.
Song Tingshen had been thinking about the problem of sleeping arrangements in the future. Based on the current trend of his relationship with Ruan Xia, which was getting better and better, they might become a married couple not just in name, but also in reality soon.
Although it was a bit too early to think about that now, it was better to plan ahead then wait until the last minute for this type of thing.
"Little Wang, how old are you?" Song Tingshen asked.
"I'm four." Little Wang stretched out five chubby fingers as he said this.
Song Tingshen corrected him, "You're showing me five fingers, not four."
"Oh... These are my fingers. If I say there's four, there's four," Little Wang answered. He was very cool now. He might not listen to other people's opinions and sometimes refused to acknowledge his mistakes.
"Boys need to learn to be independent. You're already four. It's time you learn to sleep alone." Song Tingshen paused. "How about we go clean up your room in a few days?"
There was no way that Little Wang would accept this arrangement. He shook his head. "I don't want to sleep alone. I want to sleep with Mom."
Seeming to be worried that his dad was jealous, he weakly added, "I'll sleep with Dad too."
"You're a boy. How can you continue to sleep with your parents when you're four."
Little Wang thought it over and said, "If I go to sleep by myself. Who will Mom sleep with? Sleep with Dad?"
Song Tingshen's silence could be considering agreeing.
Little Wang disdainfully looked at Song Tingshen. "Dad, you're older than me. Isn't it even more embarrassing that you want to sleep with Mom?"
Song Tingshen: "..."
He suddenly felt that it would take quite a while to wear his son down on the issue of sleeping arrangements.
