Pei Jing nodded, "I want to, as long as I’m with Mom."
Children’s requests are simple and straightforward like this.
But Jiang Ran likes this simplicity, and likes this straightforwardness even more.
Jiang Ran patted Pei Jing’s head and said to Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan, who were looking worried, "Mom and Dad, don’t worry. I’ve been to beishi before, I know what to do about taking the bus and all. Besides, Brother Chen is over there, you don’t have to worry about things once we get there."
Wang Cuilan and Pei Baoshan looked at Jiang Ran with expressions of wanting to speak but holding back.
Finally, it was Wang Cuilan who spoke.
"Ranran, we certainly don’t worry about you, but this decision of yours is really a bit sudden."
"Exactly, sister-in-law!" Pei Yang couldn’t wait and spoke up, "Didn’t you say earlier, you were going to take and Shanshan to beishi along? Why are you now taking only Little Jing?"
Pei Baoshan also said, "You’re alone, it’s still not very safe, especially when you’re bringing Little Jing along, let Pei Huai go with you."
Jiang Ran precisely planned this trip to beishi because she didn’t want to see Pei Huai and was determined not to let Pei Huai follow.
So after hearing Pei Baoshan’s words, Jiang Ran shook her head without hesitation, "Dad, Pei Huai is busy with his project, he doesn’t have ti to go with us."
Actually, without Jiang Ran refuting, Pei Baoshan already thought of this.
Since Pei Huai couldn’t go along, Pei Baoshan shifted his gaze to Pei Yang, "Then let Pei Yang go with you."
Before Jiang Ran could object, "I know, Ranran, you’re strong and capable of protecting yourself. Pei Yang might not have many skills, but he’s tall and big, going out he can intimidate those with ill intentions."
Jiang Ran looked towards Pei Yang, who quickly flashed a bright smile at her, "Sister-in-law, I think Dad’s right, take along! I might not be good at other things, but running errands, carrying things, that’s absolutely my expertise."
Believe it or not, the words from Pei Yang truly moved Jiang Ran.
It’s just...
"If you leave, what about the business at the small food shop?"
"There’s a cook, it doesn’t matter whether I’m there or not."
"Then who would manage the accounts?"
"Isn’t there Brother? Since you’re going and Xiao Jing is not ho, Brother is free. We’ll let Brother handle it."
Hearing this, Jiang Ran wanted to give Pei Yang a thumbs-up.
With such a mindset, the young man is quite clever!
More importantly, he even dared to say this in front of Pei Huai, quite bold indeed!
Jiang Ran gave Pei Yang a look of appreciation, but Pei Yang misunderstood it as she found him useful and wanted to take him along.
Pei Huai remained silent throughout, and the matter was decided just like that.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms, and Jiang Ran started packing.
This ti, she truly intended to leave imdiately, planning to buy the tickets and depart the next day, packing up tonight.
Jiang Ran returned to her room, while Pei Huai directly went to find Pei Yang.
In the room, Pei Yang was packing his things, his face full of excitent and smiling.
Pei Yang didn’t care about the footsteps he heard, nor did he stop what he was doing.
It wasn’t until Pei Huai ca up to him, reached out and pressed down on his clothes, that he looked up.
"Big...Big Brother?"
