Chapter 228 – I can’t tell you that I… love you (2)
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
If Ruan Xia wasn’t listening attentively using the exceptionally good listening ability she had used during her college entrance exam, those last two words would have been lost to the sea breeze.
“Even if I tell you that, it wouldn’t be sincere.” After he said the part that was the most difficult to voice, Song Tingshen’s expression was more at ease. “But, I know I like you. I just don’t know if that like falls into that category you described. I have to acknowledge that if you’re not Little Wang’s mother or if Little Wang didn’t exist, I wouldn’t have liked you.”
This first part was very pleasant to hear, but what did he mean by the latter? So after wasting so much time in talking about this, his answer was that he had feelings for her because she was the mother of his son?
Ruan Xia’s expression darkened.
Song Tingshen had been paying attention to her expression. He inwardly lamented; he rather discuss business and projects with the most difficult customer than talk about this type of topic with Ruan Xia.
“Don’t misunderstand. I’m very busy with work. In my life, a romantic relationship isn’t important to me at all. For me, my child, my family, and even my career is more important than having a romantic relationship,” Song Tingshen helplessly explained, “I don’t have the time to develop a relationship with a stranger. If you’re not Little Wang’s mother, I wouldn’t be interested or have the free time to get to know you. But, the like that I have for you now is real.”
He fumbled to say these words, but Ruan Xia understood what he was trying to say. Of course, it was inevitable that she would supplement his words with her imagination. If she didn’t do that, how could she possibly understand what he was trying to tell her. She wasn’t a mind reader.
He was a realist, and all of his words were the truth. If she was just a passerby in his life instead of Little Wang’s mom, he wouldn’t have noticed her or be interested in getting to know her. He was so busy with work, and there were other things that he valued more than romantic love. It was because she was Little Wang’s mom that he would allocate part of his attention to get to know her. It was from that starting point that he had started to like her.
Although his words were the cold hard truth and without the shadow of romance, Ruan Xia was still very happy because she felt that she still had the upper hand. Song Tingshen had admitted that likes her. Regardless of how much or how little he likes her, it was still like. As for herself, when she carefully thought about it, he had only tempted her heart. So for now, he cared more about her than she cared about him.
Song Tingshen didn’t know which words he had said was right. He saw that Ruan Xia’s expression looked better. Her smile seemed bigger.
A woman’s mind was very difficult to guess. Fortunately, she seemed satisfied and happy with his response. It hadn’t been a waste to come here to see her.
As he thought along this line, he simply strengthened his courage and reached out to hold Ruan Xia’s hand. She didn’t shake his hand off.
Neither of them said another word. They just went on to stroll around the beach while holding hands.
