Chapter 944: Truly a Good Son-in-Law

At this moment, Xiao Churan was moved to tears.

Looking back on the years since she married Ye Chen, deep down, she was also filled with countless emotions.

Back then, her grandfather insisted that she marry Ye Chen. She didn't understand it, and the whole family strongly opposed it, but her grandfather still used his authority to make her compromise.

However, this forced marriage gave her a wrong perception of marriage from the very beginning.

After marrying Ye Chen, she believed that marriage was simply following her grandfather's requirements to be Ye Chen's wife, and the two of them would just muddle through life together; whether it was suitable or not didn't matter, and whether they liked each other or not didn't matter either.

Therefore, for a long time, the two of them treated each other with the respect of guests, and although they were husband and wife in name, they were actually just strangers living under the same roof.

Especially when they first got married, Xiao Churan also suffered immense pressure from all sides because of Ye Chen's identity.

At that time, everyone was constantly telling her in her ear: Ye Chen is a loser, a bum, a piece of trash; she shouldn't be with Ye Chen and should divorce him immediately.

But for her at that time, since she had chosen to marry him, regardless of whether it was voluntary or not, she didn't want to go down the path of divorce.

After all, all this time, Ye Chen had never done anything wrong.

Later on, in their married life, she gradually saw the shining points in Ye Chen and also gradually cultivated a bit of affection.

However, she still didn't understand what kind of feeling liking and love really were.

After all, Xiao Churan had never been in love and was relatively ignorant and clumsy about matters of the heart, so the two of them had just muddled along until today.

And now, facing Ye Chen's deep confession, she suddenly felt her heartbeat accelerate rapidly; this feeling made her breathing shallow and her head spin.

Of course, it also moved her to tears.

Ma Lan, standing to the side, was happy from the bottom of her heart to see this scene.

She now truly felt that Ye Chen was indeed a good son-in-law who could stand the test.

The rich second-generation heirs who used to like Xiao Churan, although they also flattered her to the extreme, almost none of them could truly do what Ye Chen had done.

Recalling the past, she had treated Ye Chen so poorly and insulted him so much, yet Ye Chen still maintained the respect of a son-in-law for his mother-in-law and always called her "Mom." Just from this point alone, Ye Chen was a good young man who repaid grievances with virtue.

What's more, she had repeatedly caused major disasters, and in the end, it was always Ye Chen who helped her clean up the mess, and he had even saved her life more than once. These were even more classic examples of repaying grievances with virtue!

Most importantly, Ye Chen finally had prospects now.

The villa at Tang Chen worth over a hundred million and the two BMWs were all earned through Ye Chen's hard work. Every time he went out to read Feng Shui for others, he would also buy her many expensive gifts.

To be honest, it would be hard to find such a son-in-law even with a lantern.

Moreover, he was indeed very good to her daughter and very attentive; this point was even more rare.

So, she hurriedly said to Xiao Churan: "Churan, Ye Chen must be tired after flying back so late. You two hurry back to your room, take a shower together, and go to sleep early!"

"Ah?" Xiao Churan was stunned, her face turned bright red instantly, and she said at a loss: "Mom... you... what nonsense are you talking about... what taking a shower together..."

Ma Lan said seriously: "Isn't it normal for a married couple to take a shower together? It just so happens that the bathroom in our big villa has a luxury bathtub. That bathtub is just right for two people to soak in, and you can also scrub Ye Chen's back or something. How nice that is..."

Xiao Churan was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Although she was over 20 years old now, in reality, she was still a young girl who had never seriously been in love.

Ma Lan suddenly asked her to take a bath with Ye Chen and even asked her to scrub Ye Chen's back; she couldn't adapt to it at all, feeling both shy and embarrassed.

Ye Chen knew that his wife was a woman who was easily shy, and she had no experience in that area at all, so how could she handle Ma Lan's teasing?

So he hurriedly said: "Mom, Churan has thin skin, so stop teasing her."

Ma Lan said with a grin: "Churan, see? How much Ye Chen thinks of you!"

As she spoke, she stretched and said: "I won't chat with you anymore. I have to go back to my room to take some good photos of my bracelet. You two should rest early too!"

Just as she was speaking, Xiao Changkun walked out of the elevator wearing a brand-new Boss suit.

As soon as he saw the three of them, he spun around at the elevator entrance with a proud look and laughed: "Look, your old Xiao still has some foundation, right? This suit is just like it was custom-made. You tell me, with my figure, not getting fat at fifty-something, it's rare in the world!"

At this moment, Xiao Changkun, wearing a high-end and appropriate suit, indeed looked very imposing, and coupled with the fact that he really managed his figure very well, at first glance, he really didn't look like someone over 50.

However, Ye Chen knew very well that his father-in-law, Xiao Changkun, was actually a lazy person who didn't exercise at all. The reason he could keep his figure so well was entirely because he had been tormented by Ma Lan for so many years.

Although Ma Lan had restrained herself a lot now, the old Ma Lan was simply a female devil. Anyone who ended up with such a wife would be miserable to death, feeling annoyed and depressed every day, and even having no appetite for meals, so it was impossible to gain weight.

So, Ye Chen praised: "Dad, you look like you're only forty years old dressed up like this. You really have a lot of class!"

"Right! Hehehe!" Xiao Changkun laughed proudly and said: "Back in university, your old Xiao was also a famous campus heartthrob. I'm no worse than those little fresh meats today!"

Xiao Churan shook her head helplessly: "Dad, when can you be a little more humble? If you say things like this, people will laugh at you!"

Xiao Changkun curled his lips and said: "What are you afraid of? Among a pile of old men, your dad is definitely one of the best. To use an idiom to describe it, that's called standing out from the crowd!"

Ma Lan looked at the young and imposing Xiao Changkun, and she really felt very uncomfortable inside.

She couldn't help but think to herself: "This dog Xiao Changkun, when he cleans up, he really looks like something! On the contrary, my figure has been constantly gaining weight over the years, and it's getting more and more out of control! During this time at home nursing the injury on my leg, I've lacked exercise even more, leading to constant weight gain! No! I must lose weight and restore my figure! No matter what, I can't let him, Xiao Changkun, outshine me!"

So, Ma Lan glared at Xiao Changkun unconvinced. She didn't talk to him, but said to Ye Chen and Xiao Churan: "I'm going back to my room. You two should go back and rest early too."

Xiao Churan replied with a blushing face: "Okay Mom, you go back to your room and rest first!"

Xiao Changkun also said: "Ye Chen, you go back to your room and rest early. You must be tired after running around for so many days. Let Churan run some hot water for you and have a good soak!"

Xiao Churan thought of her mother's words just now and couldn't help but feel a burst of embarrassment, but then she thought that her husband was indeed very hard-working, and a soak would be very relaxing, and his fatigue would definitely be greatly improved.

So, she said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, you chat with Dad for a while, I'll go up and run the water for you. You can come up and soak in ten minutes."

Ye Chen nodded.

After Xiao Churan and Ma Lan took the elevator upstairs, Xiao Changkun pulled Ye Chen over, wanting to make him a cup of tea to relieve his fatigue.

Just as Ye Chen sat down, his phone buzzed.

Looking down, it was an unfamiliar number from Yanjing, so he stood up and said to Xiao Changkun: "Dad, I'm going to take a call."

Xiao Changkun said: "Just take the call here, why go outside?"

Ye Chen nodded: "It's from a client."

As he spoke, he stepped out the front door.

Arriving in the courtyard, Ye Chen pressed the answer button and said: "Hello, who is this?"

On the phone, a woman's enthusiastic voice came through: "Oh my, Chen'er, it's your aunt! For so many years, Aunt has really missed you so much!"
