The Villain's Mother

Chapter 254 – My time has come (1)

After ending the call, Li Yuanhang looked at Song Tingshen, who was still pouring wine into the glass. He sighed. “You haven’t said anything all night. Did you and Ruan Xia have a fight?”

Song Tingshen rarely went to see Li Yuanhang. He spent all of his time outside of work with Ruan Xia and Little Wang, and his friend was married and busy with his own family too. He came to Li Yuanhang today because he didn’t know who else to turn to. And yet, he couldn’t tell Li Yuanhang about the recent issue between him and Ruan Xia. He didn’t even know where to start.

How could he tell his friend that a man was after Ruan Xia and that based on that man’s words, it seemed that there was something unusual between his wife and that man? He couldn’t just tell his friend that he didn’t know what to do and that he was full of jealousy and anger.

Jealousy and anger, only a man weak in character would have those emotions. He shouldn’t have those feelings, and that’s why he couldn’t say anything.

Song Tingshen remained silent, but Li Yuanhang had already concluded that his guess was correct. “So it really is something related to Ruan Xia. Old Song, it’s easy for small things to become big things between a married couple. You and your wife are the closest people to each other. There’s nothing you can’t say to her. Don’t hold back from having a conversation, otherwise it’ll inevitably become a bigger problem, and it’ll affect how you guys get along in the future. I can understand that you don’t want to talk to me about it, but if there’s something making you unhappy, I advise that you don’t keep it yourself. Talk it out with Ruan Xia. When you open your heart to talk, you’ll sometimes discover that what was bothering you wasn’t a big issue after all.”

“I don’t know how to say it.” Song Tingshen had his own position.

He deeply knew that Ruan Xia had done very well during this period in avoiding Qin Yu. She had even resigned from her job. This clearly showed that there was nothing going on between Ruan Xia and Qin Yu in the past few months. But what about in the past? Song Tingshen had checked over the results of the investigation. Before he and Ruan Xia married, Qin Yu’s business had been abroad and his wife was still alive. The investigation showed that these two people didn’t have any intersections at all in that period. The only possibility was that they had met after he and Ruan Xia had gotten married.

Although he and Ruan Xia had agreed to not interfere in each other’s lives after getting married, he couldn’t hold back his anger after hearing Qin Yu say those words. Although he had kept up a calm demeanor in the moment and behaved as if nothing was wrong in the past two days, he couldn’t move past it.

And yet, since they had that agreement, he didn’t have the right to get angry with Ruan Xia. After all, even if there had been something between her and Qin Yu, it was all in the past. After they had a heart-to-heart talk, she hadn’t done anything with Qin Yu.

Li Yuanhang patted Song Tingshen on the shoulder. “Just say what has to be said. She’s your wife, not an outsider. The two of you are going to spend the rest of your lives together. You can’t live the rest of your life being overly cautious and holding back on what you want to say. It’s inevitable that there’ll be clashes between you guys. Don’t let an unease fester when a simple conversation can resolve it. Otherwise, you’ll grow apart as time goes on.”

“I know. I’ll carefully think about it.”

Li Yuanhang didn’t know if Song Tingshen had taken his words to heart. He smiled and said, “Old Song, I’m actually quite happy to see you like this.”

Song Tingshen glanced at him in askance. “Are you gloating?”

“No, that’s not it.” Li Yuanhang hastily shook his head. “I just think you’re like a human now.”

Song Tingshen: “...”

Was he not a human before?
