Chapter 432

Recalling the past, Ye Chen was filled with emotion.

Only two people in the Xiao family had truly been good to him.

One was the late Old Master Xiao, and the other was his wife, Xiao Churan.

Now, Old Master Xiao had also passed away, and the only person in the entire Xiao family who was genuinely good to him was Xiao Churan.

Seeing Xiao Churan standing on the balcony with a worried face, Ye Chen walked over slowly, came to the balcony, and said to her: "Churan, you don't need to worry too much, Mom will definitely come back safely."

Only then did Xiao Churan realize he had come in. She turned her head to look at him and said with some annoyance: "You don't really care about her, so of course you don't think anything will happen to her. Even if something did happen, you wouldn't really be sad."

Ye Chen knew she was still angry with him, sighed lightly, walked up to her, and comforted her: "Wife, I know you are worried that Mom will suffer losses outside, or even be in danger, but don't you think that with her personality, if she could suffer a little loss, it might actually be a good thing for her?"

Xiao Churan said: "I understand what you mean, but the key is that suffering a loss should be within a controllable range. If it escalates to personal danger, everything becomes uncontrollable..."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Let's get some good rest first, and we'll go out to look again early tomorrow morning, okay?"

Xiao Churan hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and said: "Let's sleep first. I'll go to the police station to ask about the progress as soon as I wake up tomorrow. They said if they still can't find anyone tomorrow, they will send the missing person information to the Blue Sky Rescue Team and let them help spread the word."

"Hmm." Ye Chen hurriedly coaxed her: "The Blue Sky Rescue Team can mobilize very strong social forces; finding someone shouldn't be a problem."

"I hope so..." Xiao Churan said, then turned around and walked back into the room.

Ye Chen hurriedly followed behind her, feeling a little excited in his heart.

After all, tonight was a great day for him to level up; he could finally sleep in bed with his wife!

Even, if things went smoothly, he might be able to make up for the wedding night that had been delayed for so long!

Thinking this, Ye Chen hurriedly followed into the room, just about to scoop Xiao Churan up and put her on the bed, when he saw Xiao Churan didn't go to the bedside, but went straight to the closet to take out a set of bedding. She looked at Ye Chen sulkily and said: "Here, you're still sleeping on the floor tonight!"

"Ah?!" Ye Chen asked in surprise: "Good wife, didn't you say I could level up already? I've been stuck at this level for more than three years, it's time to let me level up!"

Xiao Churan was both shy and angry, stomping her feet and saying: "That was what I said before. Now the situation has changed, the leveling up thing will be delayed for a while!"

Ye Chen asked depressedly: "Delayed until when?"

Xiao Churan said sulkily: "Delayed until Mom comes home!"

Ye Chen was stunned, and his expression immediately became dejected.

Ma Lan, oh Ma Lan, you really are like a lingering ghost!

Just as he was thinking this, Xiao Churan was already lying on the bed, saying huffily: "You are not allowed to sneak up here! Otherwise, I'll kick you to the bedroom on the basement floor!"

Ye Chen was helpless and could only say dejectedly: "Alright wife, I won't level up for now, let's wait until Mom comes back."

This night, Ye Chen was quite depressed.

At the same time, he was even more annoyed with Ma Lan in his heart.

If it weren't for this mother-in-law's itchy hands, coming to steal his black card, things wouldn't have turned out like this!

If she had been honest, she would definitely be sleeping in the big bedroom upstairs right now, and he could be sleeping in the same bed as Xiao Churan.

It seems this woman still needs a lesson!

I'll have to give Chen Zekai a heads-up later and send a few people in to teach her a good lesson! At the very least, make her learn a lesson so she won't dare to steal other people's things or steal other people's bank cards to withdraw money from the bank again!

In stark contrast to Ye Chen was Xiao Changkun upstairs.

Xiao Changkun was so excited this night that he didn't sleep a wink.

He recalled his past with Han Meiqing several times in his mind, thinking about it over and over, savoring it over and over; he was completely immersed in it!

The more he thought about Han Meiqing, the more he looked forward to his reunion with her.

Early the next morning, Xiao Changkun, who hadn't slept all night, was instead full of energy, his face beaming with happiness.

He got up early to wash up, shaved his beard clean, not leaving a single stubble, and then combed his graying hair neatly, sprayed some styling spray, and then rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find the high-end suit he had never been able to bear to wear.

This suit was custom-made in Hong Kong back when the Xiao family was at its peak. At that time, he was the second young master of the Xiao family, and the Old Master was not stingy with his pocket money, so he was quite presentable every time he went out.

Fortunately, Xiao Changkun hadn't lived well over these years, so he hadn't gained weight, and the suit still fit him.

After changing into the clothes, Xiao Changkun looked at himself in the mirror, ten years younger, and revealed a satisfied smile.

As the saying goes, when good things happen, one feels refreshed; the smile on Xiao Changkun's face simply couldn't be controlled!

He believed that when Han Meiqing saw him now, she would definitely not be disappointed!

Thinking of this, he was excited in his heart and couldn't wait to rush to the airport to reunite with Han Meiqing.

However, Han Meiqing's plane wasn't landing until after ten, so it was still early. He went downstairs first and came to the dining room.

In the dining room, Xiao Churan and Dong Ruolin were sitting at the dining table drinking milk, and Ye Chen was still busy in the kitchen frying eggs and bacon. Dong Ruolin was the first to see Xiao Changkun and said in surprise: "Wow! Uncle is dressed so young today!"

"Is that so?" Xiao Changkun laughed shyly and asked: "Is it okay?"

Dong Ruolin gave a thumbs up: "It's more than okay!"

Xiao Churan raised her head at this time, saw that her father had actually put on his favorite suit, and asked in surprise: "Dad, what are you doing dressed like this?"

Xiao Changkun hurriedly said: "I have something to do today. An old friend is returning from abroad, and I'm going to meet her for a meal."

As he spoke, Xiao Changkun added: "Oh, right, Ye Chen is with me at noon, so don't come home for lunch. Just order something at the company to make do."

"Dad!" Xiao Churan said with some dissatisfaction: "Mom is still missing! I was counting on you and Ye Chen to go out with me to look for people today. How can you have a lunch date with an old classmate?"

Xiao Changkun said: "But they've already arrived, I can't just not go meet them, right?"

Xiao Churan said angrily: "But Mom is missing! Shouldn't you be worried about her first? You're in the mood for a lunch date at a time like this. Are you and Mom really a married couple or not!"

Xiao Changkun nodded and said: "We are a married couple."

After finishing, he added: "But we've already separated."

Xiao Churan was so angry she couldn't speak. Her father was dressed so formally at this time, even his hairstyle was deliberately styled; it was clear he was meeting a female classmate.

Moreover, her father said the other party was returning from abroad, so it was very likely that first love he had mentioned!

Thinking that her mother was still missing, while her father was dressed up brightly and going to have a meal with his first love, she felt a surge of anger.

Xiao Changkun said seriously at this time: "You can look for your mom anytime, but I made this lunch appointment a long time ago and can't break it. At worst, after I finish eating, I'll go look with Ye Chen!"

Xiao Churan said: "You go by yourself, Ye Chen is coming with me!"

"How can that work!" Xiao Changkun said hurriedly: "She's bringing her son, I can't go alone, right? How inappropriate would that be? How about you let Ye Chen go look for your mom, and you come with me!"
