Chapter 204 – When the accumulated number of broken promises exceeded a threshold, children would no longer believe those adults (2)

“What is it?”

“Can you change how you address me? You always call me by my full name.”

That’s what he wanted to talk about?

Ruan Xia’s reason was sufficient. “You call me by my full name too.”

“That’s why I’m discussing this with you.” Song Tingshen paused and said, “Xiaxia.”

He wasn’t here right now and wouldn’t be able to see her expression, so Ruan Xia candidly blushed.

She felt as if her weak point had been poked. Ruan Xia was a person weak to looks and voices without any reservations. She wasn’t someone without any experience. Generally, men with pleasant voices didn’t look outstanding. Song Tingshen was an exception to that.

Although her face was heated, her voice was as calm as his. “Then how would you like me to address you in the future? Little Wang’s dad?”

Song Tingshen did want her to address him that way, but he wanted face and really couldn’t voice his agreement. “Just remove my last name.”

“Tingshen?”

“En.”

After getting off from work and going home, Ruan Xia launched her currying favor attack on Little Wang. She kissed him and hugged him. She even cooked chicken wings for him.

While holding a chicken wing and gnawing on it, Little Wang asked, “Mom, is there something you want to ask me to do? Just say it!”

This kid!

Song Tingshen came over to speak for Ruan Xia. He patted Little Wang’s head. “Your mom can’t participate in the parent-child activity with us on Friday. There’s something at work that day, and she can’t be absent. You have to understand that she really wants to go. Don’t blame her.”

Little Wang dropped the chicken wing he was holding, and it fell onto his little table. Although his lips were full of ketchup and oil stains, it didn’t affect how sad his face looked. “Mom, you promised me…”

Ruan Xia hurriedly explained, “It’s mom’s fault. I shouldn’t have promised you before making sure. This won’t happen again.”

“Mom, you promised me…” He repeated those words like a voice recorder.

Ruan Xia looked even more guilty.

“Song Shuyan.” Song Tingshen spoke with a serious expression,”Mom has already apologized to you. It’s true that she didn’t do this well, but adults have things that adults have to do. Mom wants to participate in the parent-child activity too, but she really can’t be absent from work that day. Don’t be cross with Mom. Don’t blame her either. If you act this way, she’ll feel bad too.”

Little Wang lowered his head and didn’t say anything.

Ruan Xia had been a mom for a short period of time, and she was a newbie when it came to educating children. But no matter how inexperienced she was, she didn’t want to use her status as an adult to demand that a child must accept that she had broken her promise.

She had thought that Little Wang would be disappointed for a while, so she was surprised to see the kid grabbing a chicken wing off the plate and resumed eating it.

He slowly said, “I don’t blame mom, but mom, can you promise me something else?”

“What is it? As long as Mom can do it, I’ll definitely agree. After all, I was the one that went back on my word first.”

Song Tingshen and Ruan Xia relaxed after hearing Little Wang’s response. They thought their son was indeed very reasonable and easy to talk to, but that perception didn’t last long.

Little Wang looked at them and requested in a milky voice, “I want to sleep with dad and mom tonight.”

Song Tingshen: “…”

Ruan Xia: “…”
