Chapter 272 - She wanted money and love (1)
It wasn’t boring keeping Song Tingshen company. Ruan Xia sat on the sofa, connected to the office’s internet, and browsed Weibo and shopped online. She was more serious about this than the working Song Tingshen. It was entering late autumn, and the sky turned darker earlier. After only a little while, when Ruan Xia looked up and out the window, she saw that it was completely dark outside.
Song Tingshen had gone out to attend a video conference with the remaining employees. She was only the one left in his office. Bored, she thought about pretending to be the boss and sat down in Song Tingshen’s chair. She swirled around the chair several times before stopping. When she saw the photos he had had on his desk, she was a bit surprised. Although it couldn’t be more normal for married people to put photos of their spouses and children on their desks, it seemed out-of-character for Song Tingshen to do that.
He wasn’t a high-profile and extravagant person, and the decorations in his office were very simple. Other than a computer, files, photos, and necessary office supplies, there was nothing else on his desk. There was nothing extraneous.
Ruan Xia was bored. She took a pen from the pen container and started drawing a cartoon figure on a post-it.
After she finished drawing, she stuck it somewhere that Song Tingshen would see.
The cute cartoon figure had its hands on its hips. Next to it, in a cute manga font, she wrote, “My eyes are so tired. Take a rest～（╮▽≦）/～.
She wrote another post-it,” Drink plenty of water. Drink eight cups of water a day, so that your skin will be smooth and tender!” And then another one, “C’mon baby! Get up and walk around! Otherwise, you’ll get a belly!”
By the time she was done drawing and sticking these post-its, Song Tingshen pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing that she was sitting in his office chair, he wasn’t surprised. However, as he walked further in and got a closer look, he saw that his originally low-key desk was covered with colorful post-its, drastically changing his office’s style.
Ruan Xia was a bit embarrassed. “I was just bored. If you don’t like them… ” just throw them away.
Before she could finish speaking, Song Tingshen moved closer to look at the post-its on his desk and laughed when he finished reading them.
“I like them very much.”
The little cartoon figures reminded him of her. They either had their hands on their hips or were grinning. They were very childish. The words written on them were very warm too.
Ruan Xia modestly smiled. “As long as you like them.”
Song Tingshen pointed at one of the post-its and asked, “What does that one mean? Call Little Wang’s Mom?”
“… I see that a lot of people will call their girlfriends or wives at work every day. Chatting a little bit is pretty good too.”
Song Tingshen nodded. “Okay, I’ll call you every day.”
He really liked the post-its she had stuck on his desk. They gave him a warm feeling. Just looking at them improved his mood. “Draw another one for me.”
Ruan Xia picked up the pen. “What do you want me to write on it?”
“Work hard to earn money to buy a bag for your wife.”
Ruan Xia: “…”
She thought it over and drew a big diamond, a purse, a house, and a car on the post-it. Next to the drawings, she wrote, “Work hard to earn money. All wives like all of these things.”
Song Tingshen squeezed her face. “Your appetite is quite big. You want this, and you want that.”
Ruan Xia nodded. She didn’t seem embarrassed at all.
She didn’t have a problem admitting that she wanted everything. When she had first transmigrated here, she had thought it was great being a rich woman. And now, she had gotten greedy. She wanted to be a rich woman and have a man.
She wanted money and love.
