"I'm used to living alone, and I still want to live alone. Besides, I'm back in Jiangcheng now and I won't leave again. If you want to meet me, we can do it anytime." Ye Chen said.
In fact, there are several reasons why Ye Chen did this.
First, he had just returned and his illness was not completely healed. He did not want his family to see him when he was ill and did not want to make everyone worry.
Second, Duoduo didn’t know he was back, and Ye Chen hadn’t figured out how to face Duoduo, so he could only hide himself temporarily and then slowly find a chance to explain to Duoduo.
Third, Ye Chen has no blood relationship with the Shen family. Even though he longs for that to be his home deep down in his heart, that is not it. He doesn't want to trouble everyone, and he should have a home of his own.
"Have you made up your mind?" Jiang Xiaorou asked.
Jiang Xiaorou is very smart. She took care of Xuanxuan for a period of time when he was a child. She can probably guess what he is thinking, so she will not force him and will respect Ye Chen's ideas.
"Yeah." Ye Chen nodded. He had made up his mind.
"Okay, since you have made up your mind, I won't say much. But you should come home with me today, meet your dad, and have a meal before leaving!" Jiang Xiaorou said.
Ye Chen was hesitating.
Jiang Xiaorou added, "Don't worry, there's only me, your dad, and Xiaoxiao at home. Duoduo and Xiaomin are both in college, so they don't usually come back. Duoduo doesn't know you're back, so don't worry."
"Mom, can you promise me one thing? Don't tell Duoduo that I'm back yet. I want to find a suitable opportunity to explain to her in person?" Ye Chen said.
This time, the main reason why Ye Chen came back was to find Duoduo to explain. He didn't want Duoduo to misunderstand him all the time.
"Of course you can, but don't delay too long. If Duoduo knew that you had returned to Jiangcheng a long time ago but never showed up, she would definitely be even more angry with you. Explain it to Duoduo and she will understand." Jiang Xiaorou patted Ye Chen.
As long as Ye Chen can come back, it will be the best, nothing else matters.
"Okay." Ye Chen nodded.
Jiang Xiaorou canceled all her plans for today. She took Ye Chen to the supermarket and bought a lot of vegetables. Jiang Xiaorou could proudly introduce Ye Chen to people she knew, saying, "This is my son."
Whenever Jiang Xiaorou met someone she knew, she would introduce them this way. She never treated Ye Chen as an outsider. He was a member of this family.
Jiang Xiaorou and Ye Chen returned to the Shen family together carrying large and small bags.
The villa was the same one, the place where Ye Chen had stayed when he was a child. Every blade of grass and every tree in the yard was familiar. Seeing these, Ye Chen's eyes immediately turned red.
"How is it? Has there been any change at home?" Jiang Xiaorou asked Ye Chen.
Over the years, the house has not been renovated, just so that when Ye Chen returns home one day, he will see these and feel familiar. This also shows that everyone in this family is waiting for Ye Chen to come home.
"It's exactly the same as when I was a child." Ye Chen said.
"Don't stand here, go in and take a look! Your room hasn't changed, it's still the same as before. See if it feels familiar." Jiang Xiaorou said.
Ye Chen nodded. He went upstairs first and went to the room where he lived as a child. It was indeed exactly the same.
There really hasn't been much change in this house, except for two more rooms next to his room, nothing else has changed.
Ye Chen went to the first floor. He saw Jiang Xiaorou busy washing and cutting vegetables in the kitchen, so he walked in: "Mom, let me help you!"
Jiang Xiaorou turned around and smiled: "No need, actually, after all these years, my cooking skills haven't changed. Now I just wash and cut the vegetables, and ask your dad to come back and fry them later. It's very simple, you just need to watch from the side."
"Let me cook. I've had nothing to do abroad these years, and I know a little about cooking," said Ye Chen.
"Really? Then I can taste Xuanxuan's cooking tonight. Don't tell me, I'm looking forward to it!" Jiang Xiaorou smiled. She was very happy at this moment. How great would it be if time could stop here forever?
"Let me do it! You rest." Ye Chen rolled up his sleeves and walked over to replace Jiang Xiaorou.
Jiang Xiaorou didn't have to do anything, she just stood back and watched. Ye Chen's technique was really good, and he cut the vegetables very quickly, which was obvious just by the sound. The way he cooked was also very good. Jiang Xiaorou was like a fangirl, holding up her phone and taking many photos and even recording videos.
As soon as Ye Chen finished cooking a dish, Jiang Xiaorou would bring it to the table. By the time all the dishes were cooked, it was almost time, it was now six o'clock to get off work.
"Xuanxuan, hide first. We will give your father a surprise later. He will definitely be very happy to see you back." Jiang Xiaorou said.
"No need!" Ye Chen looked helpless.
He thought that this was childish behavior, but he was an adult now, and it would be too childish to play hide-and-seek like this again!
"It's useful, it's useful, hide quickly, they will be back soon." Jiang Xiaorou directly pushed Ye Chen behind the door, then she walked out with a smile and proud steps.
When Shen Yancheng got home from get off work, he smelled a fragrance when he walked into the yard. The taste of tonight's dinner was not right. It was not made by the aunt at home, so the taste was not right.
Shen Yancheng walked in with a puzzled look on his face, and saw Jiang Xiaorou standing in the living room with a smile on her face, showing a row of neatly white teeth, but this smile made him feel flustered.
"What's wrong? Is there any good news?" Shen Yancheng asked. He went over and hugged Jiang Xiaorou's waist, holding his wife in his arms tightly. Jiang Xiaorou smelled fragrant, and the smell was really good.
