Chapter: 3210
Xu Changkun couldn't help but grumble, 'I still have other things to do, you do it yourself.'"
Ma Ran grew angry. 'Don't waste time, hurry up and take care of the crab! Otherwise, you won't even get a bite at dinner tonight!'"
Xu Changkun asked discontentedly, 'You're telling me to take care of the crab, then what are you going to do?'"
Ma Ran replied casually, 'I'll just peel some garlic for now.'"
After saying that, she grabbed a few cloves of garlic and sat down on a small stool in the corner, peeling garlic towards the trash can.
Xu Changkun was somewhat reluctant, but didn't dare argue with Ma Ran, so he quietly took out the crab, washed it thoroughly in the sink, and put it back in the steamer.
Lei Chen saw this and said, "Dad, why don't I take care of the crab instead?"
Xu Changkun quickly told Lei Chen, "Old man, today is a special day. Please stay out of the kitchen, go to the living room and watch TV for a while. Someone will bring cake soon, so make sure to listen for the doorbell."
Lei Chen saw her clear attitude and didn't continue to insist, saying, "Then you have something to remember to call me."
"Okay."
Lei Chen got up from the kitchen and sat down in the living room for a while. The doorbell rang.
He walked out of the room and looked at the security monitor, seeing that it was a delivery man pressing the bell.
Outside the yard, one middle-aged delivery man asked, "Is this the Xu family's house?"
He nodded slightly: "Yes, it is."
The other party handed him a rectangular box with a length of about 50 millimeters and said, "This is Mrs. Xu's cake, please sign for it."
He took the cake, and just as he was about to sign his name on the receipt, the other party reminded him, "You should open it up first to check if there are any problems. If there are issues, I'll directly pick up the cake from the store instead of signing for it later only to find out that there are problems. In that case, we'll also be responsible as riders."
He didn't think much about it and carefully opened the red ribbon on the box's lid, revealing a beautiful double-layered cake.
This cake looked unlike the luxurious five-tier cake made by Guest Autumn Yin, with no exquisite and lifelike figurines. It was just a ordinary-looking cake. However, the line of chocolate syrup written on top of the cake stirred up a warm feeling in his heart.
The content of that line was: "Happy birthday to my dear Mr. Ye, wish you all the best."
The signature read: "Love from your wife, Initial."
When he saw those words, he smiled to himself and told the rider, "The cake is fine, I'll sign for it directly."
He signed his name on the receipt and then handed it back to the rider.
The rider took the receipt and left, Ye Chen then rewrapped the cake and carried it back to the house.
This scene was just caught by Mrs. Xiao, who was hanging clothes on the balcony opposite the villa.
She saw Ye Chen take a cake and return to the villa, and couldn't help but wonder what occasion it was for. She went back to her room and asked Xu Changkan and Xu Hairen lying on the bed: "Changkan, Hairen, do you know what day it is today?" JrNovels.com
