Chapter 691: A Reading Craze Is Started
It was the first time that mother and son had fought like this. w.a.n.g Yazhi was caught in the middle as listened to their argument. She didn’t know what to say. In the end, she looked at Ling Tianya and Ruan Zeyan helplessly, pleading for them to intervene.
“The book said that? What kind of book is that? Rubbis.h.!.+ It’s so important to give the child a good name. You need to consider the baby’s fortune. You can’t just give the baby a random name!” Madame Ruan said insistently.
“Ma! Stop being so superst.i.tious!” Ruan Qishan didn’t believe in any of that and insisted on his own thoughts. “Anyway, we must believe what the book said. We should allow the baby to get familiar with his own name when he’s in Tianya’s womb!”
“What book is this? Bring it out and let me have a look! Stop trying to fool me! I don’t believe any book would say that!”
After hearing Madame Ruan, Ruan Qishan impulsively dashed into the study on the first floor. When he came back, he was carrying a book on child-rearing in his hands.
Ruan Qishan slammed the book down in front of Madame Ruan and shouted, “This is the book!”
When he came out with the book, Madame Ruan and w.a.n.g Yazhi were both shocked. Even Uncle Zhong and the servants were astonished as well.
What had the CEO brought out of the study?
The book cover was pink, and there was a cute picture of a baby on it. There was a row of words beside the baby: “Mama, Papa, here I come!”
Everyone was silent.
Ling Tianya already knew about this book. Ruan Zeyan had told her that Ruan Qishan had bought all sorts of educational books, and the two had spent a number of nights a.n.a.lysing the material in the study.
Ling Tianya had thought that it was a phase that Ruan Qishan was going through. She thought that his fervor and interest would diminish as time pa.s.sed, and he would grow bored of the books. After all, he was a CEO, and he couldn’t possibly spend so much time reading them.
However, it seemed like Ling Tianya was wrong. Not only had Ruan Qishan been reading the books, but he had been reading them meticulously.
“This book is yours?” Madame Ruan asked in surprise as she pointed to the book.
Ruan Qishan was lost for words.
He had been quietly reading the book secretly on his own. If his mother hadn’t provoked him today, he would never have showed them the books that he collected over time.
w.a.n.g Yazhi tapped her own head aftter Ruan Qishan dashed out. She said regretfully, “Qishan, you are a terrific grandpa. I’m not as good as you: I haven’t thought about picking up a book yet. Do you have some more copies? Can I borrow one or two?”
Ruan Qishan blushed pink ,and he scratched his nose awkwardly before he cleared his throat. “I have a few other books as well.”
Everyone was speechless.
Ling Tianya grinned as she watched Ruan Qishan. Madame Ruan laughed as well. She hadn’t expected her son to do something so adorable at his age.
Finally, Madame Ruan said, “You should just read the books openly and proudly. There is no need to hide. You should lend some books to me and your wife!”
“Yes, yes!” w.a.n.g Yazhi nodded her head and looked at Ruan Zeyan. “Learn from your father! You should prepare yourself as well.”
Ruan Zeyan tilted his chin proudly and said, “I already finished this one.’
Everyone was rendered speechless once again!
This father and son were a team!
Since his cover was blown, Ruan Qishan had nothing to else to hide, and he ordered the servants to move all of the related books out into the living room. The books covered the entire coffee table.
Ruan Qishan was no longer embarra.s.sed; instead, he looked proud and happy. “I’ve read all of these! You all can help yourselves.”
Hence, a reading craze was started in the mansion.
