Chapter 295 - That means I should support this family with him (3)

Although Ruan Xia wanted to find a job as soon as possible, it didn't mean she would accept just any job. During the interview, she truly understood Song Tingshen's comment that the economy was now in recession. Coming out of the somewhat aged office building, she was downhearted. She had suffered a big blow. Many companies had contacted her for an interview, but there weren't many that were good. After all, it was the end of the year... She might as well take her time to find a job. Maybe things will turn around at the beginning of the next year.

As the New Year approached, the housekeeper aunty asked Ruan Xia for time off due to family matters. Ruan Xia generously gave her extended leave and said she could come back after New Year.

Since it hadn't been easy to find a job, Ruan Xia decided to adapt to a life without a housekeeper in advance.

Once Song Corporation was bankrupt, there naturally wouldn't be a need to hire a housekeeper. When that time came, she and Song Tingshen would have to share household chores. In this matter, Ruan Xia had faith in Song Tingshen. He had been independent since he was a child, and he wasn't the type of man who thought his wife should be responsible for all domestic matters.

Thinking about their future life, she was full of confidence even if it wouldn't have a tenth of the creature comforts of the present. With Song Tingshen, with Little Wang, they would surely have a happy life!

Ruan Xia pondered about changing her car in the future. The fuel consumption of her current car was too high. It was okay to not care about it in the past, but she had to care in the future. She had to replace it with a fuel-efficient car. A car was still necessary. With a car, she could take Little Wang out to go for a spin during holidays and drive him to and from school.

She had been planning on going to the supermarket after her interview, but thinking that the supermarket's fresh produce would have already been emptied out by now, she parked her car at a nearby food market to buy food. The produce at a food market was fresher and would sometimes be cheaper than the supermarket's.

Ruan Xia was preoccupied with thoughts of what she would cook tonight and didn't notice Qin Yu following her.

Qin Yu had planned on not disturbing her life anymore, but when he saw her back figure, he couldn't help himself. He wanted to look at her a little bit longer.

When he saw her entering a food market, Qin Yu felt as if he had been hit by a truck.

There were plenty of people at the food market, and Ruan Xia didn't notice Qin Yu at all.

She was holding potatoes and haggling with the stall owner, "Boss, I'll buy some potatoes. Can you throw in a free handful of scallions with it?"

At another stall, she asked, "Boss, are you leafy vegetables fresh? Why are there bug bites in it?"

Qin Yu: "..."

He couldn't believe this person was Ruan Xia.

In his heart, Ruan Xia was above these things. She wouldn't even be willing to go to the supermarket, much less buy vegetables at a market.

And now, that proud and noble Ruan Xia had actually come to a food market. She even said a bunch of nonsense for the sake of a handful of scallions and a piece of ginger. She felt like a stranger to him. Her behavior was too ridiculous.

He didn't want to see her haggling with someone over an egg and a few shrimps. He fled the food market as if his life depended on it.

She was willing to accept subpar living conditions for the man she loved, but that man wasn't him.

He should have felt sad, but he suddenly discovered that he couldn't accept that the Ruan Xia in his heart was this woman.

Ruan Xia never noticed that Qin Yu was following her or his thoughts when he saw her. She was preoccupied with thoughts of going home, searching through online recipes, and cooking a delicious meal for Song Tingshen and Little Wang to fill them up.
