Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom

Chapter 368: Taking Little Jing to Beishi

When I didn’t pay attention before, I might not have cared about these things.

But once you start noticing, you realize you’re being slowly eaten away, bit by bit.

Unknowingly, you’re entangled in an invisible net.

Jiang Ran doesn’t like this feeling.

Liking someone, or disliking someone, can be without reason, but it shouldn’t be a deliberate habit formed over time.

Jiang Ran understands her own heart; she knows she has a slight fondness for Pei Huai right now, but it’s definitely not to the point where she can’t live without him.

Pei Huai quietly slipping into her life like this, giving her the illusion that she can’t manage without him, the illusion that having Pei Huai around seems so blissful, is something Jiang Ran dislikes.

Pei Huai didn’t actually take long to wash the dishes and come back.

But when he returned, he could clearly feel that Jiang Ran’s mood had changed.

Jiang Ran still sat there quietly, even her posture hadn’t changed.

But it was evident that she had distanced herself from him.

Pei Huai stood in place for a moment before walking over and sitting across from Jiang Ran, rather than beside her as before.

As soon as Pei Huai sat down, Jiang Ran lifted her head and looked at him directly.

"You’ve worked hard during this time."

Pei Huai shook his head, "It hasn’t been hard."

"It’s good that you don’t feel it’s hard. I haven’t gone to the beishi area for a long time and want to go there for a look. I’m planning to take some time off for Little Jing and bring him along. You don’t need to pick him up and drop him off. In the coming period, that’s when you’ll truly feel it hasn’t been hard."

Hearing Jiang Ran’s words, Pei Huai’s face showed no expression.

After a while, Pei Huai softly asked, "Why did you suddenly make this decision?"

"Because it’s a habit, not a preference."

After speaking, Jiang Ran stood up and started walking out.

Jiang Ran knows that what Pei Huai has been doing during this period is not actually wrong.

But she doesn’t like this feeling.

If Pei Huai truly loves her and wants her to stay with him, he should say it out loud.

But Pei Huai doesn’t say it.

She doesn’t even know what Pei Huai is thinking.

Does Pei Huai really love her, or does he think that they can just continue like this?

Does he think that the one-year period is almost up, so he wants her to get used to it in advance, so that when the one-year period ends, she won’t want to leave?

Jiang Ran doesn’t want to overthink Pei Huai’s intentions, nor does she want to speculate maliciously, but she wants to calm herself down.

Leaving here to go to beishi isn’t hard.

The small food store is managed by Pei Yang, pastries are Shanshan’s responsibility, and even the small wardrobe is taken care of by Xia Qiufang.

Jiang Ran just needs to notify the three of them, arrange everything that needs to be arranged, and then she can leave without worries.

That same night, Jiang Ran informed the Pei Family members of her plan to visit beishi.

The news came too suddenly, and everyone in the Pei Family was shocked.

Only Pei Jing, after the initial surprise, had a delighted little smile spreading across his face.

"Mom! Are you going to take me?"

For Pei Jing, where they are going isn’t important; what matters is whether Jiang Ran will take him along.

Facing Pei Jing’s expectant yet cautious eyes, Jiang Ran unhesitatingly nodded, "Yes, let’s take Little Jing! Does Little Jing want to see other places?"
