Chapter 41 – Since Song Tingshen didn’t have a good relationship with his wife, why didn’t he divorce her? (1)
Even if other people saw that Ruan Xia had the intention of turning over a new leaf and wanting to be a good mother now, Song Tingshen didn’t have his hopes up. Habit was a terrifying thing, and it was difficult to change Song Tingshen’s impression of Ruan Xia. Just like how Ruan Xia wanted to be a plastic couple with Song Tingshen, he had similar feelings too. He had already drawn a line between them in the past four years. Strictly speaking, apart from having a child together and being married in the eyes of the law, they might as well be two strangers.
One of Song Tingshen’s close college friends was getting married soon, and it was customary to invite your friends out for a meal before the wedding in this setting.
Even though his friend had reminded him to bring his wife, Song Tingshen didn’t think about asking Ruan Xia to come to this gathering at all.
At the end of the work day, Li Jing knocked on his office’s door. Hearing his acknowledgement, she pushed open the door and walked in. Smilingly, she asked, “CEO Song, can I catch a ride with you today? My older brother suggested this.”
Song Tingshen’s close college friend was Li Jing’s older brother, so it was only natural for her to attend this gathering.
“Okay.” Song Tingshen nodded.
He would definitely be drinking today, so Song Tingshen called a driver.
The two of them left the office at the same time, and a company’s front desk was always a place of gossip. Seeing their boss and a new employee leaving together, the two employees stationed at the front desk and another female employee immediately got together to discuss.
“She’s a newcomer in the Finance Department, right? I’ve seen her knock on CEO Song’s door a few times. She can’t be having improper thoughts about CEO Song, right?”
“Do you even have to ask? Of course, the answer is yes. In my opinion, even if CEO Song is married, there are still many people with their eyes on him. He started building up a big company at a young age, and his company is publicly traded now. He’s handsome. He’s not balding and doesn’t have a beer belly.”
“I don’t care. I think it’s a bad idea to have ideas about a married man. Although I haven’t seen the rumored Mrs. Song, I’ve heard the older employees says that CEO Song’s wife looks likes a celestial maiden. And, they have a cute son too. CEO Song wouldn’t easily divorce his wife. Rich men never divorce their wives. At best, she would only be his mistress. Tsk.”
One of the front desk employees stroked her chin. “I don’t think CEO Song is that type of man. If he really wants to have a wife at home and a mistress outside, he would have gotten together with Amy from the Sales Department. She’s prettier and more capable than the one from the Finance Department.”
“Actually, rather than compare who can capture CEO Song, I’m more curious how beautiful his wife is.”
Companies were never short on speculation and gossip.

Li Jing calmly followed Song Tingshen to the parking lot. She adjusted her clothes to cause a lovely, fresh and elegant fragrance to waft out.
Li Jing had originally thought Song Tingshen would sit in the backseat with her.
To her surprise, when they reached the car, he opened the front passenger seat for himself and told her, “Sit in the back.”
Li Jing froze in surprise for a moment before smiling and nodding.
Song Tingshen’s driver was an honest and loyal middle-aged man. He was a quiet person. Seeing that there was a woman with the CEO, he was even less likely to speak. He focused on driving.
Li Jing placed her hands on her knees and mustered up her courage to ask, “CEO Song, is your wife not coming with us?”
Song Tingshen rarely brought his wife to meet his friends. Even Li Jing’s older brother, who was Song Tingshen’s good friend, had only seen his friend’s wife at the wedding and Little Wang’s first month birthday. Li Jing had heard from her older brother that Song Tingshen’s wife’s beauty was on another level from other people.
Li Jing thought her older brother was exaggerating. If she was truly that beautiful, why did she rarely go out with Song Tingshen? Was it because she was unwilling to go out or because Song Tingshen didn’t want to bring her?
