Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 118: Why Not... Get Divorced?

But hasn’t the situation changed now?

Now that the family doesn’t lack those things, Wang Cuilan is naturally willing to spend on ingredients.

Her cooking skills were already quite good; as long as she’s willing to use enough ingredients, the food she makes can’t be bad no matter what.

Without needing to cook, Jiang Ran simply went back to her room.

Jiang Ran planned to draw some more designs, but as soon as she entered the room, she saw two big boxes and a large bag on top of them.

Seeing these things, Jiang Ran was momentarily stunned but quickly realized whose they were.

They were Pei Huai’s.

As soon as Jiang Ran thought of Pei Huai, Pei Huai walked in.

Hearing the footsteps, Jiang Ran turned her head and met Pei Huai’s gaze directly.

"I’m here to get some things," Pei Huai said.

"Oh."

Jiang Ran responded and walked towards the table, "By the way, I have something for you."

She had been thinking about how to call Pei Huai in to talk about this, but now that Pei Huai had come in himself, wasn’t that just perfect?

Hearing Jiang Ran say this, Pei Huai raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything and also walked towards the table.

Jiang Ran took out a key, opened the drawer, and took out the box that originally held the money.

Pei Huai stood quietly by the side, watching as Jiang Ran opened the box.

As the box was opened, a neat stack of large bills was revealed before both of them.

"This is five hundred bucks, for you."

Jiang Ran said as she placed the box in front of Pei Huai.

Pei Huai looked at the box with a deep gaze, and after a while, he spoke, "Why are you giving me money?"

Although he already had a guess in his heart, Pei Huai still wanted to ask.

After returning the money to Pei Huai, Jiang Ran felt much relieved, and when she spoke, she wasn’t as restrained as before.

"These years, every month you sent money back home, all the money is still with me, so now I’m returning it to you."

"Why do you want to return it to me?"

Pei Huai’s voice still didn’t reveal any emotion, leaving people unsure of what he was truly thinking.

"It’s yours after all, so of course, I should return it to you!"

Jiang Ran said it as a matter of fact, catching Pei Huai off guard and leaving him unsure how to respond next.

What Pei Huai didn’t expect was what Jiang Ran was about to say next.

"It wasn’t right for me to insist on marrying you back then. I was young and naive; I’m really sorry."

Jiang Ran carefully chose her words, afraid that if she spoke too harshly, Pei Huai might feel uncomfortable.

"We don’t have any feelings for each other. This is just a waste of time for both of us, so why not... let’s get a divorce. I don’t want to hold you back any further. Don’t worry, after the divorce, Little Jing will stay with me, and you won’t need to pay alimony. I won’t be a burden to you."

Pei Huai’s dark eyes fixed on Jiang Ran, watching her mouth move, with no expression on his face.

Jiang Ran said everything she felt she should say, but seeing Pei Huai staring at her without expression, she found it strange.

"Why aren’t you saying anything?"

Shouldn’t he agree immediately?

Pei Huai looked at Jiang Ran; he could tell these words were genuinely from her heart and not some kind of bluff.

He had thought about divorce before. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

But when he actually heard Jiang Ran propose a divorce, Pei Huai suddenly didn’t want to agree, so he could only stay silent.

They faced each other without saying a word, and the atmosphere was unbearably tense.

Being stared at by Pei Huai the whole time made Jiang Ran feel completely uneasy.

Can’t you just say whether you agree or not? Why keep silent?
