The Villain's Mother

070

After having lunch with the female teacher, the English lesson would be over for the day. Ruan Lisa would then rush to her baking class, which lasted a few hours. When she occasionally had free time in her schedule, she would pick Little Woo up from nursery school. Today was one of those days.

When Little Woo saw her after school today, he rushed into her arms, and she picked him up.

Fortunately, he was only three years old. If his weight kept increasing at the current rate, she wouldn't be able to pick him up in a few years.

Little Woo was extremely excited. "Mom, why did you come to pick me up today?"

Ruan Lisa put him down and held his chubby hand as they walked to the parking spot. "Hmm? Not happy about it?"

The chubby kid chatted all the way to the car and only quieted down when they got into the car. Once he was seated in the child's car seat, he asked, "Mom, should we go pick up dad from work?"

Ruan Lisa didn't know what to say in response to that. Song Jungkook was right. Even though this chubby kid was only three, he was very smart, and he seemed to vaguely understand some things.

"Dad is very busy at work, and we didn't tell him in advance that we're going there to see him. What if we go there and he's not there?"

Little Woo accepted this explanation. Perhaps, the memory of eating at Pizza Hut with his parents yesterday was too wonderful, so he asked, "Can I call dad then and ask him to come home earlier so we can all eat together?"

Ruan Lisa couldn't help laughing. "Of course."

Even though Little Woo clearly didn't recognize many Chinese characters, he smoothly tapped the phone watch a few times and called Song Jungkook's number. The call was quickly picked up and a deep male voice asked, "What's wrong?"

"Dad, mom wants you to come home early today. We're waiting for you to eat dinner!"

Ruan Lisa: "..."

Song Jungkook was currently working. When he heard those words, he froze in surprise. A while later, he said, "Okay. Are you with mom right now?"

"Yup! She picked me up from nursery school!"

"Ask mom what she wants to eat. I'll pick it up on my way home."

Little Woo's phone watch was a hands-free device. If Song Jungkook could hear Little Woo's words, he would naturally hear anything that Ruan Lisa said.

Ruan Lisa was going to shake her head to indicate that she didn't want anything, but then she saw Little Woo's puppy-eyed look and thought of her conversation with Song Jungkook this morning. And so, she quietly said to Little Woo, "Tell dad to buy some umm... durian on his way home from work."

Ruan Lisa liked to eat durian. After she had bought it a few times, Little Woo, who was gluttonous towards all food, tried some and ended up liking it too.

But, she rarely bought this fruit. After all, she had to be strict with her diet in order to maintain her figure. It wasn't good for children to eat too much durian either. It was especially true for Little Woo , who was under a doctor's order to go on a diet.

Little Woo immediately got excited. He loudly said, "Dad, mom wants you to buy that smelly hedgehog-shaped fruit."

Song Jungkook : "... Okay."

The mother and son pair were both excited about eating this. Durian which had been refrigerated for a while tasted even better than ice cream. Little Woo was especially looking forward to this treat. When they got home, he kept looking at the door and hoping his dad would come home soon.

Ruan Lisa hadn't expected that Song Jungkook would be so... unreasonable!

Sure, she had been the one to ask him to buy a durian. But a normal person wouldn't buy three durians at a time, ah!

Those durians weren't even split open!

It was probably because Ruan Lisa's gaze was too condemning, so Song Jungkook felt the need to explain himself. "The store employee said it's rare for durians to go on sale."

The housekeeper aunty heard these words and laughed. "Sir, you really know how to live."

Song Jungkook's palms were red from carrying the three large durians from the garage to the house. After hearing the housekeeper's aunty's words along with Ruan Lisa's gaze, he inevitably felt a bit awkward.

Ruan Lisa nodded in agreement. "Yeah, he really knows how to live."

If she had known this about him earlier, she would have asked him to pick up diamond jewelry on his way home...
