The Villain's Mother

Chapter 84 – The original owner was able to skillfully and easily deal with troublesome admirers, but she didn’t have confidence to do the same (2)

Li Yuanhang’s wife had added Ruan Xia to her WeChat at the wedding, so she had Song Tingshen and Ruan Xia on her WeChat. Thus, she saw their exchange underneath Ruan Xia’s update. Song Tingshen and Ruan Xia’s comments didn’t really mean anything.

Even so, when Li Yuanhang’s wife saw their comments on her friends’ circle, she smiled and said to the person next to her, “Your older brother has been worried that Song Tingshen’s relationship with his wife isn’t good. He thinks that Song Tingshen and his wife are headed for a divorce. but those two look pretty sweet to me. It’s pretty good that they’re still so affectionate with each other after four years of marriage.”

Li Jing had taken the afternoon off today to visit relatives at the hospital with her sister-in-law. When she heard these words out of the blue, it felt as if her heart had jumped to her throat. “... Why are you saying this?”

Mrs. Li wasn’t reserved in front of her sister-in-law. After all, the two of them were friends. She handed her phone to Li Jing. “Look.”

Li Jing was dazed when she saw Ruan Xia’s post on friends’ circle

“Actually, it’s not easy for a married couple to get divorce, especially when they have a child together. Your older brother is worrying for nothing.” Mrs. Li failed to notice there was something wrong with her sister-in-law’s expression. “Besides, I understand men too well. With how Song Tingshen’s wife looks, no man could bear to divorce her. They would be too busy pampering her and loving her. Anyhow, Song Tingshen and his wife are well-matched, and their kid is cute too.”

Li Jing suddenly thought of the durian box cake in the office fridge.

She had heard about it from her coworkers afterwards. They said there was the lingering smell of durian in the office kitchen. If someone else had put something like that in the fridge, her coworkers would have ganged up on that person. But unfortunately, it was their boss that did it.

Someone even said it was simply too discordant that their reticent CEO Song liked to eat durian and durian box cake.

Having found out that he liked eating desserts, she was planning on baking some cookies when she had time and bringing them to the office. If she used the excuse that she was bringing them in to share with her coworkers to taste, he probably wouldn’t refuse her if she gave him a box of cookies?

However, she hadn’t expected that it was Ruan Xia who made him the durian box cake.

Ruan Xia had made xue mei niang today. She had made strawberry ones as well as mango ones.

Delicate, white, soft, and chewy. They tasted even better after being refrigerated.

Song Tingshen tried one of the strawberry xue mei niang. The sweetness and coolness in the soft dessert went hand in hand. Although he liked desserts, he didn’t like overly sweet desserts. The level of sweetness in Ruan Xia’s desserts was just right and not overly sweet. He wasn’t stingy with his compliments. “It tastes pretty good.”

Ruan Xia’s little tail almost stuck up high in the air.

Yes! She knew she had talent in this area. It was just unconfirmed before. Before transmigrating here, she only had a small oven. Following online tutorials, she had made several things. And so, once she had the money and free time, other than learning skills that would greatly help her with her career, she also wanted to learn things that she was interested in.

The housekeeper and Little Wang had praised her desserts before, but it was obvious that she was even happier to hear Song Tingshen’s compliment. Why? It was simply that she thought a person like him probably rarely gave out compliments.
