Chapter: 3684

In addition, she was afraid that before leaving, she would sneak into her and Xiao Chuan's room to take away the remaining nine gold bricks and sell them together.

However, at present, she had indeed become more honest, and her legs were not as agile either. She wouldn't be too realistic about going out to sell the gold brick.

Moreover, she needed to prevent herself from occasionally feeling impulsive and wanting to check on things, so she could only quietly put away the gold brick.

As a very valuable gift that couldn't be taken out and exchanged for cash, it was just right to keep her mood in check.

When Ye Chen returned with four gold bricks to Zhou Chen's place, he had just entered the gate when he saw Xiao Chuan walking out of the car garage from the garden.

Xiao Chuan had just arrived back home, parked her car, and seeing Ye Chen push open the door, she was overjoyed and exclaimed, "My husband has come back!"

Ye Chen looked at her with a tone full of affection and said, "I'm back. Have you thought about me these few days?"

"Of course I have!" Xiao Chuan responded without any embarrassment, running over to Ye Chen's arms, beaming with joy but also carrying a hint of complaint.

"I didn't expect you not to tell me in advance that you were coming back," she said. "I would have gone to the airport to pick you up!"

Ye Chen laughed and said, "I know your work must be particularly busy, so I couldn't possibly ask you to go all the way to pick me up. Why don't I just take a taxi and come back myself?"

Xiao Chuan nodded seriously and said, "Going to pick you up wouldn't be tiring at all. It's actually you who had been sitting on a plane for hours and then having to line up for a taxi, so how tired you must have been!"

"I'm not tired." Ye Chen said casually, "My physical condition is so good, what's a little trouble like this?"

Xiao Chuan sighed and said, "You could have told me earlier, I was waiting for you to come home and cook dinner. Your mom has been busy cooking for these few days, but she didn't do it well at all, just messing around all day and night. She even called me a little while ago saying she didn't want to cook dinner and asked me to order something instead."

Ye Chen laughed and said, "Ordering food is quite good, I'll get myself a portion as well."

Xiao Chuan nodded and said, "Go inside and rest for a bit first!"

The two of them walked hand in hand to the villa entrance, where Xiao Chuan swiped her finger on the lock, and just as they stepped inside, they heard Ma Ran's languid yet slightly annoyed voice: "Initial, you're back! Your dad is with that group of book-painting people again, I've been waiting for so long just to have dinner with you..."

At this moment, Ma Ran was lounging on the couch in the living room, not even looking up, but she knew it was Xiao Chuan who had come back.

Xiao Chuan sighed and said, "Mom, you've been too lazy these few days. You don't need to do household chores, just get yourself some food or something..."

Ma Ran got annoyed and said, "I'm so fed up with eating! Either I don't want to eat this, or that one doesn't look good either. Or both of them seem okay, but then which one should I choose... let your husband decide instead, okay?"

Xiao Chuan took a deep breath and said, "Mom, Ye Chen is back, let him order something for us."

As soon as Xiao Chuan finished speaking, they heard Ma Ran's exasperated voice from the living room: "Oh my goodness, Mom, my daughter-in-law has come home!"

As soon as she finished speaking, they heard someone walking with a cane and footsteps.

Just then, Ma Ran came running back, using one hand to hold her cane and jumping along, saw Ye Chen, and immediately said with a flattering smile: "Mom, oh, my son-in-law has come home! Why didn't you tell mom? Mom will do something good for you!"

When she finished speaking, she immediately said: "My son-in-law, take a rest first. Mom is going to the kitchen to see if there's anything to cook!"

Xiao Chuan saw his mother's enthusiastic and flattering expression in front of Ye Chen and suddenly felt at a loss for words, unable to help but mutter: "Mom... how come you're so energetic when my son-in-law comes back?" JrNovels.com
