Chapter 78 Dad, why dont you and mom sleep together? (2)

Baby, dad and mom arent going to divorce, but you dont have to worry. Your dad and I arent unhappy, Ruan Xia slowly said, Youre too young to understand matters between adults. When youre a little older, mom will explain it to you. I want to tell you something else. I hope that you can keep it in my mind. Your dad and I love you a lot. Even if one day were no longer husband and wife, it wont affect our love for you.

Little Wang didnt quite understand her words, but he still nodded. I got it. You and dad really wont divorce?

Ruan Xia didnt know whether to laugh or cry. Yup.

Then why dont you guys sleep together?

Ruan Xia thought it over before suggesting, Why dont you go ask your dad?

She had answered this question before, but it was obvious that the previous answer she gave couldnt fool the child anymore.

And so, she decided to throw the ball to Song Tingshen.

Okay. Little Wang was revived. He hopped off of her lap and two quick steps toward the door before turning around and rushing back into her arms like a little cannonball. Hugging her waist, he asked, Mom, are you happy?

Ruan Xia nodded honestly. Very happy.

Even though she woke up as another person and there were moments when she missed her parents, she believed that it was pointless to dwell on those thoughts. It would only be stirring up unhappiness for herself. Besides, from a pragmatic point of view, was there any reason for her to be unhappy?

Thats good. Little Wang was relieved. I just want mom to be happy. Im happy when mom is happy.

Such a good son.

Dad, why dont you and mom sleep together?

Faced with his sons question, Song Tingshen didnt know how to answer.

He thought of Ruan Xias previous answer and used her excuse. Because your mom sleeps late and wakes up late. I dont want to bother her.

Little Wang snorted. Im not one of those little kids thats easily tricked. Dad, you said that a person has to be honest. Dont be dishonest with me just because Im a kid.

Song Tingshen:

He didnt know what had happened. Ruan Xia hadnt given him the heads up through a WeChat message.

Once again, Song Tingshen was at a loss of words in front of his son.

Why didnt he sleep together with Ruan Xia?

Because they didnt get married out of love. Besides, Ruan Xia had been pregnant when they got married, and the two of them had already come to a common understanding by then. And so, from the first night of their marriage, they hadnt slept together.

But, how could he explain to his son that his parents only got married because of him and they didnt have feelings for each other? Thats why they didnt sleep together.

Early on, Song Tingshen had set down the resolution that he would be a good father, an honest father, a father that could be friends with his child. But at this moment, he really couldnt tell the truth.

Do you want mom and dad to sleep together? Song Tingshen didnt answer his sons question.

Little Wang thought it over and said, Other kids parents sleep together.

An indirect yes.

Song Tingshen already knew that their son was growing up, and Ruan Xia and his previous way of getting along wouldnt work. It wouldnt have any benefit to Little Wangs development. Thats why he had forced himself to have a talk with her.

But now, should he and Ruan Xia sleep together in the same bed?

No, that was obviously an undesirable outcome.
