My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 426 - 019: Nervous_2
Ye Lingran looked at him in confusion. Before she could ask, he teased lightly, "This is a gift I got for your parents, why are you feeling bad? You should just feel bad for your wallet later."
"..."
Ye Lingran was speechless. Listening to his ambiguous words, her heart skipped twice, and her face flushed with embarrassment, feeling as if she had been teased. She turned her head away and ignored him.
Yun Qi raised an eyebrow, realizing he had hit her nerve precisely!
After the sales assistant finished with the transaction, another assistant packaged the pen. The box was very elegant and refined. When Ye Lingran received it, her heart felt quite heavy. In less than two hours, he had spent nearly two hundred thousand, and she was feeling guilty about it.
It was supposed to be a fake gesture... yet he treated it so seriously.
Leaving her puzzled about how she could possibly repay him, which was quite stressful.
"What’s wrong? Why the long face?" Outside the mall, Yun Qi noticed she kept her head down and seemed unhappy, prompting him to ask with a smile.
"It’s nothing, just felt... today cost you too much." Ye Lingran raised her eyes to look at him, her words tinged with some apology.
"No need to worry about it." Yun Qi smiled warmly, checking the time on his wristwatch: "It’s getting dark, and it’s about time, let’s head over! Don’t keep your parents and grandma waiting too long."
Ye Lingran pursed her lips, looking at his gentle smile that seemed unbothered. She sighed silently and didn’t say much more, joining him as they headed to the parking lot. Once inside the car, Yun Qi buckled his seatbelt and glanced at her sideways: "You know the way, I won’t turn on the GPS."
"Alright."
At six thirty, the car successfully arrived at the Ye family’s villa area. Yun Qi eyed the luxurious villa ahead, a slight smile playing at the corners of his lips as he took everything from the backseat and walked inside with her. Inside, Ye Chengmin came out upon hearing the noise, seeing the two of them return, he laughed repeatedly: "Ranran, Yun Qi, you’re back. Your mom was just urging me to call you!
"Uncle." Yun Qi greeted Ye Chengmin politely with a nod, handing over the items: "My first official visit to your home, a small gift as a token of respect, I hope you won’t mind."
"You came, what gifts did you bring, you shouldn’t have." Ye Chengmin laughed, taking the bag from his hand, sizing him up and patting his shoulder: "Come in and sit down! Don’t just stand there, Ranran, quickly give Yun Qi those shoes to change into."
Ye Lingran complied, bending down to take out a pair of slippers normally worn by Ye Chengmin from the shoe cabinet and placing them in front of him. She changed her own shoes as well. Entering the living room, Grandma Ye, who was eating fruit, saw him and brightened up with a smile. She put down her fork and stood up: "Ah... Ranran, why are you back so late? Today, it’s rare that both your dad and mom are home waiting for you for dinner! Your mom even cooked herself, is school making up classes again? Tired? Have some fruit first, okay?"
Ye Lingran froze at first, a slight smile creeping onto her lips, she walked over and held her hand: "Grandma, you forgot, I graduated a long time ago! I’m working now!"
"Ah, really? Graduated and working already? I still remember that year when you got heatstroke during the college entrance exam, I was so worried. How come you’re working in a blink of an eye!" Grandma Ye was taken back for a moment, muttering to herself before laughing: "I guess people really get old and forgetful." Saying this, she noticed Yun Qi who came in after Ye Lingran, looked him up and down: "Who’s this handsome young man? Looks familiar?"
"You’ve been thinking about your granddaughter’s fiancé all afternoon, and here he is to have dinner with you tonight, happy?" Ye Chengmin, listening to their conversation, was somewhat moved and joined in the conversation smoothly.
Grandma Ye, after listening, seemed to think seriously for a moment, then suddenly realized and nodded repeatedly, bypassing Ye Lingran to stand in front of Yun Qi, with a smile: "Oh, you’re Ranran’s boyfriend! Didn’t we meet last time? You said you’d visit me, how come you’re here now? Come sit down, come sit down." Saying this, she pulled Yun Qi to the sofa to sit and even handed him some fruit.
