Free Web NovelChapter 619: Chapter 622: Resentment
Breakfast was made by Pei Huai.
Pei Huai didn’t say this himself. Jiang Ran realized it after she had breakfast.
After all this time, she just needed one taste to tell whose hands the food had come from.
This wasn’t any special skill, just a basic ability of a cook.
After breakfast, Jiang Ran played with Pei Jing for a while, then went to the kitchen with Pei Huai to get busy.
Although Qin Chuan wasn’t visiting for the first time, since he was a guest and invited by Pei Huai for a meal, they naturally had to prepare a sumptuous meal and not just do it perfunctorily.
Luckily, this task wasn’t a trouble for either Jiang Ran or Pei Huai.
The two of them cooked together in the kitchen, chatting every now and then, finding it not at all tedious, but rather quite enjoyable.
Sometimes Pei Jing would run in, curiously watching them busy, and after taking a look, he would clatter away.
With Pei Jing bustling in and out, the kitchen, already lively, became even more bustling.
Around ten, Qin Chuan arrived.
Qin Chuan never came empty-handed.
He always brought gifts along with him.
It wasn’t that the gifts he brought were particularly valuable.
But just from looking at those gifts, it was clear they were thoughtfully prepared, not just random afterthoughts.
The thoughtfulness of a gift lies not in its price, but in its intention.
The Pei Family didn’t really lack these things; what they valued more was Qin Chuan’s thoughtfulness.
His careful preparation at least showed that he was taking things seriously.
He was serious about Pei Shanshan and serious about each member of the Pei Family.
It wasn’t just Qin Chuan who was serious; his parents were also very serious.
Marriage was originally the union of two families, each good complementing the other for a good life.
If from the beginning, things weren’t taken seriously, done perfunctorily, or even impatiently, that relationship would certainly not last long.
Qin Chuan hadn’t seen Pei Huai for a long time, and when he showed up and saw Pei Huai, he seemed a bit uneasy.
But this uneasiness didn’t last long.
When dealing with outsiders, Pei Huai’s attitude might be a bit cold, but with his own family, he was actually quite gentle, often wearing a smile.
So after exchanging a few words with Pei Huai, Qin Chuan relaxed, and his smile wasn’t so stiff anymore.
For a long time, Qin Chuan actually felt that things between him and Pei Shanshan were already settled.
It was just that they hadn’t officially made it official, that’s all.
And it was precisely because it wasn’t official yet that he felt uneasy.
If they were to get engaged now, Qin Chuan certainly wouldn’t be this nervous.
But Qin Chuan understood that Pei Shanshan was still young, and above her, Pei Yang, her older brother, was not engaged yet, so it wasn’t possible for Pei Shanshan to get engaged first.
Thinking about this, Qin Chuan looked at Pei Yang with a bit of resentment.
Pei Yang was just sitting there like a prop, listening to them talk.
Suddenly being stared at with such a resentful look, he felt completely baffled.
"What’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Pei Yang looked at Qin Chuan puzzledly.
Suddenly asked like this by Pei Yang, Qin Chuan quickly shook his head, "Nothing, nothing. Second Brother, I’m really fine."
He acted as if desperately trying to cover up something that wasn’t there.
