Chapter 73: Chapter 73 – Was she making fun of him for buying three durians? (3)

Song Tingshen didn’t know that Ruan Xia’s psychological activities would be so rich and abundant. When he arrived at work, he remembered her instructions and handed the lunch bag to Assistant Chen. “Put this in the refrigerator for me.”

Assistant Chen agreed and went to the break room. When he opened the bag and saw the clear containers of durian and durian box cake inside, he was totally stunned.

Of course, there were people nearby unhappy about this.

“Hey, what’s wrong with you?Why did you bring durian to work? Do you want us to die?”

“Yeah! That smell is suffocating, ah. It’s going to stink up the entire refrigerator!”

“Are you the devil? I’m allergic to that smell!”

There were also people that liked durian. One of them asked, “Hey, can I have a taste? That durian box cake looks delicious. Where did you buy it from?”

Assistant Chen ignored the group’s opposition. He put the glass containers inside the refrigerator, then he said, “This belongs to CEO Song. If anyone has comments, you can tell him yourself.”

For a moment, everyone was silenced.

“...”

No one would have associated their wise and great CEO Song with this cake box, especially a durian one that was a lethal weapon to noses... Such incompatibility left everyone flabbergasted.

“I’m more curious about... Did CEO Song buy this cake or did his wife make it?”

The durian box cakes and mango box cakes that Little Wang brought to nursery school were very popular with his friends.

After lunch, it was naptime, but no one felt sleepy. Lying on their beds, the kiddos chatted away.

“I told you guys before that my mom knows how to make cakes, but you guys didn’t believe me.” Little Wang proudly laid in bed with his little legs lifted up. “My mom knows lots of stuff and even Teacher Wang said my mom’s cakes taste better than the ones you buy at a store.”

“Song Shuyan, my mom said your parents are going to divorce.”

They had been talking about toys before. Now that the conversation had suddenly changed, one of the girls timidly offered, “You’ll be really pitiful if your dad and mom divorce, but you don’t have to be scared. I’ll still be your friend.”

How could Little Wang tolerate hearing such words? He puffed up in anger, and his little face was flushed. “Your mom is saying nonsense!”

Although they were only little kids in nursery school and didn’t understand the adults’ world, many children knew what divorce meant.

Divorce meant the parents would separate, and they wouldn’t be able to live together with both of their parents anymore.

“I’m not saying nonsense.” The little girl rushed to explain herself. “If you don’t believe me, you can ask other people. All of our parents sleep together in the same room in the same bed. Only your parents sleep separately. My mom said that if a married couple sleeps separately, they’ll separate and divorce.”

Little Wang’s little face was flushed from keeping down his feelings. “My mom said its because she sleeps late and my dad doesn’t want to disturb her in the morning. You don’t know anything, so don’t say nonsense. That goes for your mom too!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“She’s lying to you. Song Shuyan, adults love to lie to us. If you don’t believe me, ask anyone else. Xiao Kaifeng, do your parents sleep together?”

The little boy that had been put into the spotlight trembled, but under Little Wang’s watchful gaze, he still nodded. “Yeah. Sometimes I’ll sleep between them too.”

One of the little boys that hadn’t spoken up this entire time finally said, “Song Shuyan, Ning Ya isn’t lying to you. Your parents really are going to divorce. Before my parents got divorced, they slept separately for a long time. When I asked my mom about it, she gave me the same answer as your mom.”

It felt as if a lightning bolt had struck Little Wang’s heart. He incredulously looked at his friends.

Were they right?

Were his parents really going to divorce?
