The Villain's Mother

101

"Today is your birthday, you should enjoy yourself. I'll drive." As they were coming out of the restaurant, Ruan Lisa offered to take over the job of driving.

Song Jungkook didn't turn down her offer out of politeness. He handed her the car key, picked up Little Woo, and got into the back seat.

Although the peak rush hour had passed, there was still some traffic on the road. Probably because today was a somewhat special day, Song Jungkook actively tried to find something to talk about with her. "Father-in-law and mother-in-law are getting older. I've been thinking about whether or not to buy them a villa in our community. If they live close by, it'll be convenient for you when you visit them. Little Woo will also be able to see his grandparents every day."

Ruan Lisa shook her head. "No need. They're already used to the area they're living in. There are not many middle-aged people or seniors living in our community either. My mom wouldn't be able to find people to do plaza dancing with."

Song Jungkook was silent for a while before he added, "We talked about you opening a store this afternoon. Do you need me to buy a store with a suitable location for you?"

... Did he feel that he had too much money and nowhere to spend it?

Since he had already spoken to this point, Ruan Lisa carefully thought it over and figured out why Song Jungkook's was acting so out-of-character.

After that incident where Little Woo had misunderstood and thought they were getting a divorce, her understanding of Song Jungkook had deepened. Song Jungkook, this guy.... he was quite straightforward. The way he repaid favors was very simple. He would throw money around: buy a house, buy a car, buy a store, give jewelry, give purses, etc. Of course, this way of thinking might be due to his prior understanding of the original owner and thinking that's what she wanted from him.

Today's situation was the same. He felt that she had treated him nicely today by celebrating his birthday with him, so he felt that he should give her a suitable expression of gratitude. A verbal thanks wouldn't be sufficient. He was offering to spend money on her because he had adapted to the original owner's preference.

In this aspect, his behavior was quite like one of those domineering CEOs.

"It's okay." Ruan Lisa smiled. "I have money. If I really want to open a store, I won't have a problem with funding it."

Seeing that Song Jungkook looked as if he was thinking hard on what else he could give her, Ruan Lisa paused before adding, "You know, you don't have to do stuff like this. You've already given me a lot. I have a large home to live in, have a car to drive, and I don't have to worry about necessities every month. Don't worry. If I really have something I need, I'll definitely ask you about it."

Hearing Ruan Lisa saying this, Song Jungkook finally felt relieved. Still, he didn't forget to add, "You have to tell me if there's something."

"I know ~"

Since their family of three was eating dinner outside, Ruan Lisa had given the housekeeper aunty half a day off. Although the housekeeper aunty wasn't originally from here, her son and daughter-in-law worked in this city and had bought a small home here. And so, since Ruan Lisa had given her half a day off, she went to stay over at her son's place and wouldn't be coming back to the villa until tomorrow morning.

When they returned home, Song Jungkook saw that Ruan Lisa looked tired, so he took over the task of giving Little Woo a bath.

Giving this chubby kid a bath could be considered physical exercise. He would get very excited as soon as he came into contact with water and wouldn't give up on playing around in the bathtub for at least half an hour each time.

Little Woo's wet hair was sticking to his forehead. He suddenly said to Song Jungkook, "Dad, I feel Mom likes me a lot now."

Song Jungkook laughed at his words. While scrubbing the underside of his son's knees clean, he said, "Your mom has always liked you a lot."

Little Wooshook his head. "Mom didn't like me before."
