Just by looking at Chen Bing’s expression, it was clear that something must have happened in the kitchen just now. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Jiang Ran was quite curious about what exactly had happened to make Chen Bing show such an expression.

"Brother Chen, what’s the matter with you?"

Chen Bing shook his head with a wry smile, "Ranran..."

Seeing his hesitant look, Jiang Ran became even more curious.

It wasn’t about taking pleasure in others’ misfortunes, just pure curiosity.

In the end, Chen Bing couldn’t hold back and spoke up, satisfying Jiang Ran’s curiosity.

"Just now, Auntie was in the kitchen talking about finding a match for Pei Yang. I spoke a few words for Pei Yang, saying he’s still young, there’s no rush for that right now."

"It would have been fine if I hadn’t said anything, but as soon as I did, Auntie’s attention shifted to me. She said Pei Yang’s young, but I’m not, and asked what kind of person I like, wanting to find a match for me!"

Jiang Ran, "..."

Pei Huai, "..."

The two exchanged a glance, originally not wanting to laugh, but couldn’t help it and ended up laughing anyway.

This is what they call bringing trouble upon oneself!

Chen Bing intended to help Pei Yang, but in the end, Pei Yang was fine and the trouble came to him.

Jiang Ran isn’t from this era, so naturally, she doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with Chen Bing not getting married at this time.

Chen Bing is only twenty-seven, and even if he were thirty-seven this year, not getting married wouldn’t be a big issue in Jiang Ran’s eyes.

Still, understanding is one thing, but curiosity is another.

"Brother Chen, let me ask, why don’t you want to get married?"

After all, Chen Bing is a person born and raised in this era.

People from this era, at twenty-seven, even seventeen, as soon as they finish school, start matchmaking.

Once they find a match, they settle down, get married in a year or two, and that’s just right.

Someone like Chen Bing is truly rare to see.

At least, since Jiang Ran came to this era, Chen Bing is the only one she’s seen like that.

Jiang Ran asked, and Chen Bing sighed.

"What’s so good about getting married?"

Chen Bing’s question left Jiang Ran slightly stunned.

Evidently, Chen Bing wasn’t asking Jiang Ran, nor did he expect any answer from her, he just continued speaking.

"Look at me now, I make money when I want to, and when I don’t, I can lie around and do nothing. I don’t have to buy a house; instead, I can buy a car if I like."

"If I want to be in beishi today, I can stay in beishi. If I don’t want to stay there tomorrow, I can go somewhere else to open another branch. I’m free and unencumbered by anyone."

"But if I get married? If I have kids? I would need to buy a house. I need to provide my family with a stable home, right? I can’t have them just wander around and rent places everywhere, can I?"

"When kids grow up, they’ll need schooling, right? You have to choose a good school, right? What if they don’t do well?"

"So many things, just thinking about it gives me a headache. Why get married? I just don’t want to get married. I find living alone pretty good."

Jiang Ran listened quietly, but as she listened, she felt something was off.

What was he saying?

Why did it feel like Chen Bing’s words were subtly criticizing her and Pei Huai?

She and Pei Huai are living exactly the kind of life he claims he never wants to lead!
