The Villain's Mother

035

Song Jungkook stood up and went to the bathroom with his tablet. From beginning to end, Ruan Lisa, whose attention was captured by the movie's plot, didn't pay attention to him.

It was only when the movie was almost over that she noticed that Song Jungkook, who had been sitting on the other side of the couch before, had disappeared. She didn't know when he had left.

When she got up to use the bathroom, on her way there, she noticed that the guest room door was closed. She had guessed that he had left the living room to take a nap.

Before the movie was over, the grandparents and their grandchild came back. Father Ruan was carrying Little Woo on his shoulders. The chubby kid's little face was flushed. It could be seen that he had played to his heart's content today. There was a mall in the neighbourhood, and the mall had an indoor play centre, so many people took their kids there to take advantage of the air conditioning.

"Where's dad?" Little Woo curiously asked.

"He's taking an afternoon nap." Ruan Lisa didn't want to sleep at the moment. "Go to the guest room and take a nap with dad. You must be feeling tired after playing for so long."

Little Woo answered, "Oh."

Father Ruan saw that his grandson was tired so he carried him to the guest room. The air conditioner was on in the guest room, but Song Jungkook was looking at his table, not napping.

Father Ruan put the chubby kid down on the bed and left the room

In the living room, Mother Ruan mysteriously pulled Ruan Lisa to the side and handed her two tickets. "Mom saw that there was a sale for movie tickets today, so I bought two. After dinner, you and your son-in-law should take Little Woo to see this movie."

For lack of a better answer, Ruan Lisa said, "We're going home right after dinner. How about this? You and dad can take Little Woo to see the movie."

"Your dad and I are too old to watch movies." Mother Ruan was worried that her daughter would refuse, so she said, "I've already bought the tickets. You and your son-in-law don't have anything to do now anyways. Lali, mom knows you're very strong-willed, and your dad and I can't interfere in your life, but you have to think about your child sometimes. Little Woo is almost four-years-old. A few days ago, he told me that he's never watched a movie with his parents. As his grandma, I feel so bad for him."

Ruan Lisa felt that she might be too cold-hearted.

What was the big deal? She had never watched movies with her parent either as a child.

When all was said and done, she couldn't be a substitute mom for Little Woo. After all, she wasn't the one that had been pregnant and given birth to him. Even though she liked the chubby kid, there was a limit to how much she liked him. For example, if she met a cute kid outside or a relative's child, although she liked them and would play with them, she couldn't see herself as their mother. Just thinking about it was terrifying.

Seeing that Ruan Lisa was silent, Mother Ruan sighed. "Actually, we know that we don't have any say in your decisions. It's only that mom has seen that your attitude has softened in the past few days, so I said this to you. Don't think that Little Woo is too young to understand right now. Little children are sensitive. I asked him if he was happy during the past few days. He said that he was super happy because you played with him and hugged him."

"Alright." Ruan Lisa nodded and took the two movie tickets.

It was just watching a movie. If it could really make a little kid happy, she didn't mind doing it.

When she carefully thought about it, the novel's Ruan Lisa had been so distant to Little Woo. She didn't have to see herself as his mom to treat him well. Even if she was only a good aunt to him, she was sure that Little Woo would still be much happier than before.
