When I woke up, it was already the next morning.
As she lay in bed, Jiang Ran even felt a bit dazed.
But on serious thought, it seemed perfectly normal.
Everything felt natural and smooth.
Nothing abrupt or unpleasant.
No one was beside her, and she didn’t know where Pei Huai had gone.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard some noise at the door, and then Pei Huai walked in.
As soon as Pei Huai walked in, he met Jiang Ran’s gaze.
The two of them looked at each other silently for a long time.
After a while, Pei Huai walked to the bedside.
"You’re awake. I’ve already made breakfast. You can eat as soon as you get up."
Jiang Ran blinked, "Why didn’t you bring it over?"
Seemingly anticipating that Jiang Ran would suddenly say something like this, Pei Huai looked at Jiang Ran and didn’t speak for a while.
Seeing Pei Huai’s expression, Jiang Ran held back her laughter for a while but eventually couldn’t help it and burst out laughing.
"Why that expression? I was just teasing you."
Pei Huai heard this, and smiled helplessly.
"You!"
Jiang Ran, who used to be mature and steady, independent and self-reliant, seemed capable of handling everything on her own, without depending on others.
However, once she fully trusted someone, she would show her childish side.
Just like now.
Pei Huai liked Jiang Ran this way.
Not because he liked her showing weakness or being childish.
He just liked that Jiang Ran could be herself in front of him.
What he liked was Jiang Ran as a person, her entirety.
Not just a part of her.
After chatting with Pei Huai for a few words, Jiang Ran hurriedly got dressed and got up.
After washing up, the two of them went to the living room together.
As soon as they walked in, several pairs of eyes turned to look at them simultaneously.
Being stared at by family like this, even Jiang Ran blushed a little.
Just as she was thinking about what to say, Pei Jing loudly and curiously asked.
"Mom, why did you sleep with Dad last night? Dad’s so big now, does he still need Mom to sleep with him?"
Jiang Ran, "..."
As expected from her own son, that’s quite the question.
Jiang Ran looked at Pei Jing very seriously, "That question, you’ll have to ask your dad."
Throwing the tough question to Pei Huai, Jiang Ran felt no pressure at all.
After all, Pei Huai is the dad, and at this time, it’s only natural for him to handle everything.
Pei Huai wore a smile, not appearing troubled at all.
He slowly walked over to Pei Jing, ruffled his little head, and then sat down beside him.
"Little Jing, don’t your grandpa and grandma sleep together?"
"Yes!" Pei Jing nodded.
"Do you know why they sleep together? It’s because they’re a couple."
Pei Huai explained seriously, "Dad and Mom are also a couple, so naturally, we sleep together too."
Pei Jing tilted his head, thinking, and then asked the next question.
"But before, why didn’t Dad and Mom sleep together?"
"Because before, Mom and Dad didn’t know each other well enough, and we were worried that sleeping together might disturb each other’s sleep. But now we understand each other well."
Pei Jing looked at Pei Huai with a serious expression on his little face.
It was as if he really understood what Pei Huai was saying.
Just when Jiang Ran thought Pei Jing wouldn’t say anything else.
Pei Jing spoke again.
"Then in the future, I also want to find someone I understand..."
