Chapter 943

Seeing that Ma Lan was already full of impatience, Ye Chen placed the suitcase on the floor, ready to open it.

Ma Lan, who was on the side, could no longer hold back. She squatted down and said flatteringly, "Oh, my good son-in-law, how could we trouble you with such a thing? Let Mom help you!"

Ye Chen smiled helplessly and did not object.

Ma Lan opened the suitcase and saw a large Boss shopping bag on top. She couldn't help but say, "Hey, this Boss should be men's clothing, right?"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "This is a suit I picked out for Dad. He's an executive director of the Calligraphy and Painting Association now, and he always has social events and such. He's a leader of sorts, so he needs to have some style when he goes out!"

Xiao Changkun was incredibly excited on the side, "Oh, Ye Chen, you really are Dad's good son-in-law! Dad has always wanted to buy a suit to wear when going out for tea, but I just couldn't bring myself to spend the money. I didn't expect you to have taken care of it for Dad! Dad really thanks you so much!"

Ma Lan curled her lips, took out the suit's packaging bag with disdain, and threw it at Xiao Changkun's feet, saying scornfully, "You old thing, are you worthy of wearing such a good suit? Look at your own old face; are you worthy?"

Xiao Changkun said angrily, "Why am I not worthy? I, Old Xiao, am in my early fifties and haven't even put on weight yet, unlike you, whose figure has long since gone out of shape!"

"What did you say?!" Ma Lan was instantly enraged and blurted out, "You actually dare to say my figure is out of shape?! Are you tired of living?"

Xiao Changkun hurriedly shrank his neck and said sheepishly, "I was just joking..."

Ma Lan glared at him fiercely, then said to Ye Chen, "Good son-in-law, why did you buy him a Boss suit? For an old thing like him, wearing a fake would be good enough. I think that fake Rolex you found for him last time was pretty good; it's perfectly enough for an old fogey like him!"

Ye Chen laughed, "Mom, Dad's suit didn't cost much; it was on sale. The gift I bought for you is much more expensive than this."

When Ma Lan heard this, she immediately beamed with joy and said happily, "Really? Oh! My good son-in-law still loves me the most! What gift did you buy for Mom? Take it out quickly and let Mom see!"

Ye Chen took out two Tiffany gift boxes and handed the slightly larger one to Ma Lan.

"Mom, this is for you."

When Ma Lan saw the Tiffany logo on the packaging, she immediately danced with excitement, "Oh! Tiffany! This... this is an international luxury brand!"

As she spoke, she immediately and impatiently tore open the packaging.

Afterward, she opened the exquisite Tiffany jewelry box, and at a glance, she saw a gold, diamond-encrusted bracelet lying inside. She was instantly overjoyed and danced with excitement!

"Oh my! I recognize this bracelet! It sells for hundreds of thousands domestically! It definitely wasn't cheap to buy in Japan, right?"

Ye Chen laughed, "As long as Mom likes it, it doesn't matter how much it costs."

Ma Lan was all smiles, "Why do they say my son-in-law is the best? Look at how he talks; Mom feels so wonderful inside hearing that!"

After saying this, she hurriedly put the bracelet on her wrist and held it up to the light, observing it carefully from every angle. While observing, she exclaimed, "Tiffany's things are just made well! The craftsmanship is fine, and you can't pick out any flaws at all! It matches my temperament perfectly when worn on my hand."

Xiao Changkun, who was on the side, secretly curled his lips, but he didn't dare to say anything sarcastic.

At this time, Ye Chen took out another slightly smaller gift box from the suitcase and handed it to his wife, Xiao Churan.

"Wife, this is for you. Open it and see if you like it!"

Xiao Churan said in surprise, "You bought one for me too? Hubby, it's not easy for you to earn money. I never see you spending money on yourself, yet every time you go out, you're always buying things for me..."

Ma Lan, who was on the side, hurriedly said, "Silly girl, Ye Chen is cherishing you, loving you, and spoiling you. He is definitely a model of a good man! Look at your dad, that old miser; when has he ever given me anything valuable?"

Xiao Changkun said sheepishly, "You've always held the financial power in the house; I don't even have pocket money, so what could I use to give you things?"

Ma Lan spat, "Pah! Even if a husband has no money, he will try every possible way to give his wife things. What about you? You only know how to use having no money as an excuse. For so many years, have you never hidden any private money?"

Xiao Changkun picked up the suit Ye Chen gave him and hummed, "I'm not going to argue with you about these useless things here. I'm going back to my room to try on the suit my good son-in-law bought me! It just so happens that the Calligraphy and Painting Association has an event tomorrow, so I'll wear this new suit then!"

Xiao Churan had already carefully unwrapped the gift box.

When she saw a brilliant, crystal-clear diamond ring lying in the jewelry box, she was so shocked that she covered her mouth!

Ma Lan's eyes widened several times over, and she exclaimed, "My dear mother! Such a big diamond?! It must be at least three carats, right?!"

Ye Chen laughed, "You really have a good eye. The main diamond on this ring is 3.2 carats!"

"Whoa!!!"

Ma Lan felt her scalp tingle and exclaimed, "So big?! This must cost a million or so, right?!"

Ye Chen laughed, "It's only about eight hundred thousand RMB!"

"Only eight hundred thousand?!" Ma Lan touched her chest and sighed, "My goodness! My son-in-law really has great ability! An eight-hundred-thousand-yuan diamond ring, and he says 'only eight hundred thousand'; he's truly wealthy and generous! Incredible! Truly incredible!"

Xiao Churan, who was beside them, couldn't help but be shocked as well, saying, "Ye Chen, you're busy running around every day; it's not easy to earn money. Why do you have to buy me such expensive things... This ring is so precious, I can't possibly wear it out. Isn't this a waste of money..."

Ye Chen said seriously, "Wife, we've been married for so long, and I've never bought you a ring. Just consider this ring as the belated wedding ring I'm giving you!"

Xiao Churan was instantly moved to tears.

She looked at Ye Chen and choked up, "If you really wanted to buy a wedding ring, a two or three-thousand-yuan one would have been enough. You shouldn't have bought such an expensive one..."

As she spoke, she wiped her tears and continued, "And look at you... every time you only buy things for me and for Mom and Dad, but you never buy anything for yourself. How can I feel at ease..."

Ye Chen smiled slightly, took out the ring, and took his wife's right hand, saying seriously, "Churan, being able to marry you is my blessing. Thank you for not leaving me all these years. This ring is what I, as your husband, owed you. Now I'm making it up to you; you must accept it!"

"Exactly!" Ma Lan also chimed in from the side, "Daughter, look at how good Ye Chen is and how attentive he is to you! You must live a good life with Ye Chen; having a child quickly is the most important thing!"

Xiao Churan was originally moved by Ye Chen's deep confession, but when she heard this, her face turned red with shame.

At this moment, Ye Chen carefully placed the ring on her right ring finger and said with a smile, "Wife, companionship is the longest confession. Thank you for staying by my side all these years!"
