Chapter 149 – I’m an ungrateful rat in the eyes of outsiders (1)

Song Tingshen had asked his assistant to book hotel rooms in advance. Although this was the best five-star hotel in this city, it looked a bit old. The furnishings in this hotel’s lobby weren’t even as good as the ones in the capital city’s four-star hotels.

The woman at the front desk looked at them several times. She was probably curious why they wanted two rooms when they were clearly a family of three. Could it be that they weren’t a married couple? But, the little boy was a mix of the two adults’ best features. He was definitely their child…

After they got the room cards, Ruan Xia held Little Wang’s hand and Song Tingshen dragged their suitcases as they entered the elevator. The two rooms were right next to each other, and Little Wang followed Ruan Xia into her room of his own initiative.

Even in a dilapidated ship, there would still be usable parts. Although it might not be suitable to describe the hotel using this idiom, the rooms were still very clean even though the hotel’s exteriors weren’t new.

Ruan Xia hadn’t eaten much at dinner and she was in a good mood, so she picked up her phone to order takeout. It had been several months since she had transmigrated here, but she had never let herself indulge in eating a late night snack. Let’s just indulge for tonight. After all, she was very happy that a hundred thousand yuan had dropped from the sky and into her purse.

Ruan Xia went over to the next room and asked Song Tingshen if he wanted a late night snack too.

In an unprecedented move, Song Tingshen nodded, “I’ll eat. If they have beer, order a can for me.”

Oh! He seemed to be in a pretty good mood too?

Ruan Xia immediately ordered a bunch of takeout.

Unfortunately, by the time the takeout arrived, Little Wang had already fallen asleep and didn’t wake up from the noise. He had gone straight to bed after taking a bath. He was probably tired from traveling.

Looking at the snoring Little Wang, Ruan Xia smiled. It just happened that the food she ordered wasn’t suitable for little kids to eat too much of. This was perfect, she wouldn’t have to coax this chubby kid.

Song Tingshen came over after taking a shower. When he saw the barbecue and seafood on the coffee table along with several cans of beer, he furrowed his brow. He probably thought this type of food wasn’t healthy, but he didn’t say anything. He sat down on the nearby couch, opened a can of beer, and took a sip.

Ruan Xia had just finished her manicure. She handed him a can. “Open this for me please. I don’t want to ruin my manicure.”

Song Tingshen glanced at her. “You’re drinking beer too?”

“Of course, I have to celebrate my extra bonus of a hundred thousand yuan.”

Song Tingshen opened the can for her and handed it back to her. “Don’t drink too much. This is very cold.”

This was the first time Ruan Xia heard him say words of concern that were directed to her. She was a bit surprised.

Perhaps, as their interactions had deepened past the superficial level and she got to know Song Tingshen more, they had gotten closer too.

In the past, she had thought of him as the template of a novel’s male lead because he gave her a feeling that he was unattainable. But now that he was sitting across from her, drinking beer, and eating food off skewers, she deeply felt that he was a real person, who was living out his life by her side.

“Do you think I went too far? She’s an elderly person now, and she took me in after my parents passed away, but I schemed to make her unhappy.” Song Tingshen laughed at himself. “I’m an ungrateful rat in the eyes of outsiders.”
