Chapter 48 – She would be an idiot to ruin their harmonious plastic relationship for an insignificant person (2)

When Song Tingshen woke up the next morning, he had a headache, but it was within the range that he could endure. He felt much better after taking a shower. As usual, he checked his phone for missed calls and saw that Li Jing had called last night. And, the call had lasted for almost two minutes. Song Tingshen’s first reaction was the housekeeper aunty or perhaps the driver had answered the call for him.

When he went downstairs to the living room, the housekeeper aunty was already finished preparing breakfast.

“Where’s Little Wang?” Song Tingshen asked her. Little Wang was usually already up by now.

As housekeeper aunty heated up milk, she answered, “He’s in the bathroom. Madam is there too.”

Song Tingshen said, “En,” in acknowledgment.

“Sir, do you want me to cook a soup to help with your hangover? You were already drunk by the time you came home last night. It’s all thanks to the driver for bringing you back. Madam also took care of you afterward.” The housekeeper aunty pretended to not be surprised when she mentioned all of this.

As a warm-hearted middle-aged woman that had worked in this household for a long time, even though the housekeeper aunty usually wasn’t talkative, she had an understanding of Ruan Xia and Song Tingshen’s relationship and felt concerned about them.

Of course, her concern was expressed within a reasonable boundary. For example, right now, she merely mentioned what happened last night. She didn’t say anything extraneous. After all, she was worried about losing this job. While it was easy for her to find another job as a housekeeper in this day and age, it would be difficult for her to find another family that was suitable and she was comfortable around.

Song Tingshen froze in surprise for a moment. It was true that he hadn’t thought Ruan Xia would take care of him. Could it be possible that she picked up Li Jing’s call last night?

In the bathroom, Little Wang was brushing his teeth with a child-sized toothbrush. For a young child, brushing teeth wasn’t a fun thing.

From Monday to Friday, he went to kindergarten, so Ruan Xia didn’t have to wake up early on those days. But on the weekend, she took the initiative to wake up earlier than usual to play with Little Wang.

While Little Wang was brushing his teeth, Ruan Xia was washing her face, and there was a rich layer of bubbles on her face because of her face wash.

“Mom, why do you put shower gel on your face?” Little Wang curiously asked.

“This isn’t shower gel,” Ruan Xia corrected. “This is a facial cleanser. When you wash your hair, you use shampoo. When you bathe, you use shower gel. As for me, I’m slightly more delicate than you. I have to use a facial cleanser in addition to water to wash my face. It’s the pursuit of a quality lifestyle.”

Little Wang asked another question, “How come I don’t have a facial cleanser?”

“You’re still young. You can’t use it.”

“Dad doesn’t have one either.”

Ruan Xia wasn’t surprised by this at all. Although there were now many straight men that used skincare products, someone like Song Tingshen… She guessed that even using Dabao* in winter might be exceeding his limit.

* T/N: Dabao is a Chinese brand of cheap skincare products.

Really, comparison was the thief of joy. Although Song Tingshen didn’t use skincare products, his skin wasn’t bad at all. Although his skin wasn’t white, it wasn’t dull with big pores either. On the contrary, it looked quite refreshing.

Ruan Xia answered, “It’s because your dad isn’t an exquisite boy.”

Song Tingshen, who had come to the bathroom and was standing at the door, heard this conversation: “…”

Ruan Xia rinsed off the bubbles on her face. Once her face was clear and she could open her eyes, she happened to see Song Tingshen standing in the doorway through the mirror.

Even so, she didn’t forget to admire the first-rate beauty in the mirror. She wanted to borrow a South Korean quote – Could such a beauty really exist in real life?
