Chapter 944

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

Ma Lan, on the side, could no longer hold back; she squatted down and said flatteringly: "Oh, my good son-in-law, how could I 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 placed 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 is an executive director of the Calligraphy and Painting Association now, right? He always has social events and such, and 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 bear to spend the money. I didn't expect you to have already taken care of it for me! Dad really thanks you so much!"

Ma Lan curled her lips, disdainfully took the suit's shopping bag, threw it at Xiao Changkun's feet, and said with contempt: "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 just over fifty and haven't let myself go, unlike you, whose figure has long since lost its shape!"

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

Xiao Changkun hurriedly shrank his neck and said sullenly: "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 is enough to do him justice. I think that fake Rolex you found for him last time was pretty good; it's perfectly enough for an old man like him!"

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

Upon hearing this, Ma Lan immediately beamed with joy and said happily: "Really? Oh my! My good son-in-law still loves me the most! What gift did you buy for Mom? Hurry up and take it out so Mom can see!"

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

"Mom, this is for you."

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

As she spoke, she immediately unwrapped the packaging impatiently.

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

"My goodness! I recognize this bracelet! It sells for hundreds of thousands in the country! It definitely wasn't cheap to buy in Japan, right?"

Ye Chen smiled: "As long as Mom likes it, the price doesn't matter."

Ma Lan was all smiles: "Why else would I say my son-in-law is the best! Look at how he talks; Mom feels so wonderful hearing that!"

After saying this, she hurriedly put the bracelet on her wrist, brought it close to the light, and observed it carefully from every angle. While observing, she exclaimed: "These Tiffany things are just made well! The craftsmanship is exquisite; you can't find any faults at all! Wearing it on my hand matches my temperament perfectly."

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

At this moment, Ye Chen took another slightly smaller gift box out of 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? Husband, it's not easy for you to earn money. I never see you spend money on yourself, yet every time you go out, you always buy things for me..."

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

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

Ma Lan spat: "Pah! Even if a husband has no money, he will try every possible way to give his wife gifts. What about you? You only know how to use having no money as an excuse. In all these years, haven't you hidden any private money yourself?"

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

Xiao Churan had already carefully unwrapped the gift box at this time.

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 on the side immediately widened several times, and she exclaimed: "My dear mother! Such a big diamond?! It must be at least three carats, right?!"

Ye Chen smiled: "You really have a good eye; the main diamond on this ring is 3.2 carats!"

"Whoa!!!"

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

Ye Chen smiled: "It was only about eight hundred thousand RMB!"

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

Xiao Churan, who was beside him, couldn't help but be shocked as well, and said: "Ye Chen, you run around busy every day; it's not easy for you to earn money. Why do you have to buy me such expensive things... This ring is so valuable, I can't even 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 the late wedding ring I'm giving you!"

Xiao Churan was instantly moved to tears.

She looked at Ye Chen and said with a choked voice: "If you really wanted to buy a wedding ring, a twenty or thirty thousand 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, took his wife's right hand, and said seriously: "Churan, being able to marry you is my blessing. Thank you for not leaving me all these years. This ring is what I owed you as a husband; now I'm making it up to you, so 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 instantly flushed with shyness.

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!"
