My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 425 - 019: Nervous

"Me?" Ye Lingran was slightly taken aback, shaking her head with a smile: "No need, I already have more bags than I can use. Let’s go!"

Yun Qi’s lips curled up slightly in a smile. He didn’t insist, and after paying, he took the bag from the sales assistant and left the store with her, starting to think about what gift to bring for Ye Lingran’s father. He hadn’t been this troubled even after years as a CEO.

After visiting two more stores, Yun Qi helped choose a particularly beautiful pearl necklace for her grandmother. But when it came to buying a gift for Ye Chengmin, it was difficult. Even after visiting several stores, he couldn’t find anything suitable. Noticing his dilemma, Ye Lingran smiled and comforted him: "If we really can’t find anything, just forget it. It’s already past 5:40. My dad won’t mind. I’ll explain it to him later."

Yun Qi raised his eyebrows, feeling uneasy. After all, he bought gifts for her mother and grandmother, but nothing for her father, which didn’t seem appropriate. This was only their second meeting, but it was the first official one, and he couldn’t afford to leave a bad impression on his future father-in-law!

As they walked side by side for some distance, Ye Lingran suddenly noticed a store ahead, stopped in her tracks, pulled Yun Qi to a halt with a smile: "I just thought of what you can give."

"Hmm?" Yun Qi stopped as she pulled him, glancing at her fair hand before looking up at her pretty, delicate face.

"My dad has a little hobby."

"What hobby?"

"He likes collecting pens. If I hadn’t seen that store ahead, I would have almost forgotten. I’m sure he’ll be happy to receive one."

"A pen?" Yun Qi followed her gaze and raised an eyebrow: "Shall we take a look?"

"Okay."

Upon entering the store, a sales assistant approached and asked what they needed. Yun Qi first scanned the store, his attention caught by a black pen on a rotating stand in the display case, adorned with a line of gold letters and two sapphires. He walked over and spoke slowly: "Can I take a look at this one?"

"Of course." The sales assistant smiled politely, taking the pen from the display case and handing it to him.

Yun Qi took the pen, feeling its weight and remarkable grip. He removed the cap and turned to Ye Lingran: "What do you think?"

Ye Lingran walked over, looked at it, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, it’s quite nice."

"Then let’s go with this one! Wrap it up."

"Alright, but... the price of this pen is comparatively high."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingran leaned over to check the price tag and counted the zeros, instantly shocked: "One hundred and fifty-eight thousand eight hundred? Just for this pen?"

"Yes, this pen is handcrafted in Switzerland and a limited edition with only 12 in the world. The gold line is 24K gold, and the two sapphires are rare South African sapphires, costing several thousand each! The nib is made of platinum, and the cap is studded with six red rubies of varying sizes."

After hearing this, Ye Lingran gave an awkward smile and looked at Yun Qi: "Um... let’s choose another one! I just saw some really nice ones at the other counter."

"It’s fine, let’s get this one!" Yun Qi smiled lightly, pulled out a gold card from his pocket, and handed it to the sales assistant: "Wrap it up, please!"

"This is too extravagant." Ye Lingran truly felt embarrassed to accept it. He had bought expensive gifts for her mother and grandmother, and now a six-figure gift for her father... she couldn’t bring herself to accept it. Just as he finished speaking, Ye Lingran snatched the card from his hand: "No, let’s pick a different one, or I won’t let you buy it. If my dad finds out, he’ll definitely say something."

The sales assistant watched them argue, eyes fixed on the gold card in their hands, desperately wanting to take it, but unsure whether to intervene. If this deal went through, half of her month’s performance goals would be met!

Yun Qi chuckled, flicked her nose gently with his finger, and handed the card to the sales assistant with a gesture to go. Containing her excitement, the sales assistant quickly nodded, taking the pen and gold card for packing and billing.
