BXBX NOVEL Chapter 311 - Only after passing life and death, they were able to have this heart-to-heart moment (1)
Every day, she ate a rotation of boiled vegetables, hard boiled eggs, and unappetizing chicken breasts. Her meals were low on fat and salt and very healthy. These meals were a match for the meals that female celebrities ate.
While Little Wang was gnawing on a chicken wing, he commented, “Mom, you look like you’re suffering so much when you eat this stuff.”
The food in her mouth was tasteless. Every cell in her body was clamoring to eat hot pot and high-calorie food, but she endured these cravings. Ruan Xia picked up boiled leafy vegetables that didn’t have any oil with her chopsticks. Looking as if she was facing death without flinching, she said to Little Wang, “This is the price of indulgence.”
Thinking about it carefully, if she hadn’t indulged so much in the first half of the month by having hot pot with Song Tingshen several times, she wouldn’t have to be so hard on herself now.
“Mom, you don’t have to lose weight.” Little Wang squeezed his chubby belly as if it was a glorious thing. “I’m not losing weight.”
Song Tingshen echoed the same sentiment. “Yeah, take a bite of meat. You look so pitiful.”
No way! Ruan Xia shook her head. She felt that this father and son pair were demons!
They were doing their best to tempt her to commit a crime. Seeing that victory was waving at her up ahead, there was no way she would pay attention to these two demons!
Ruan Xia simply took her plate of boiled vegetables and hard to swallow white hard boiled eggs to eat upstairs.
After she left, Song Tingshen said to Little Wang, “Your mom works very hard to stay beautiful, so you should compliment her more often.”
Little Wang sighed. “Even if Mom becomes fat, I’ll still think she’s the most beautiful.”
“Great minds think alike.” Song Tingshen picked up his cup and clinked it with Little Wang’s.
Little Wang and Song Tingshen were helpless when it came to Ruan Xia. In the matter of going on a diet, she had a mind of her own and wouldn’t listen to anyone. Song Tingshen could only hope that the day of the annual meeting would come sooner. Perhaps, after the annual meeting was over, she would return to normal and not torture herself like this.

The company’s employees were all looking forward to the annual meeting. Song Corporation had always been generous, and its treatment of employees was one of the best in the industry. In addition to a free big meal, the lottery draw was the most anticipated event. The employees had already inquired from the admin department that the company was more generous with the prizes than usual. Everyone was reposting lucky koi on Weibo every day and praying that they would be the lucky winners.

This year’s annual meeting was the same as usual. It was hosted at a five-star hotel in the city. Song Tingshen raised his hand to look at his watch. He had waited so long that his temper was gone. Little Wang was wearing a small tuxedo and sitting blankly on the sofa. It was obvious they had been waiting for a long time.
These two had been eagerly hoping that Ruan Xia would appear and be ready to go, but she was in no hurry as she put on her makeup.
In the past two hours, she had washed and dried her hair and applied a facial mask. She had already chosen her dress, jewelry, heels, and clutch purse earlier this week. Ruan Xia tried to be exquisite and perfect in every aspect. Every strand of hair was peacefully guarding its post, not daring to be rash.
