A foreign city, dear you

Ye Lian watched Cao Xueqian busy and felt that it felt good to have a ready-made meal today.

Hehe, I’m looking forward to it.

Although the taste is probably not as good as the breakfast outside, but that is love, which cannot be compared to the breakfast outside.

"Eat breakfast! Here comes the longevity noodles." Cao Xueqian shouted.

After working for a while, it was finally time to have breakfast.

Ye Lian also called Lanshan up.

"My dear wife, oh no, Your Highness the Queen, please have your meal first." Cao Xueqian made a gesture of invitation to Ye Lian in a very gentlemanly manner.

Lanshan looked at his father and smiled, feeling amused.

Ye Lian also smiled and did not refuse. She straightened her skirt and sat on the chair very usefully.

She picked up a chopstick, blew on it, and put a mouthful into her mouth.

"How is it?" Cao Xueqian asked expectantly.

Ugh, tasteless.

Ye Lian's expression froze imperceptibly.

"How is it?" Cao Xueqian asked again.

"It's pretty good," Ye Lian smiled: "It's as plain as water."

Cao Xueqian slapped his head: "Oops, I only remembered to add love, but forgot to add salt. I will add it right away. Please don't punish the Queen."

Haha, fortunately, the queen is in a good mood today.

……

After eating the longevity noodles, Cao Xueqian pulled Lan Shan aside, the two of them muttered, and then walked toward the room mysteriously.

after a little while,

"Happy birthday, mom!" Lan Shan jumped from the room to his mother with a painting in his hand.

"Is this a gift for mom?" Ye Lian asked happily.

"Yes, I drew it secretly to give my mother a surprise." Lan Shan said proudly.

"Thank you, baby, you are such a good baby." Ye Lian kissed Lan Shan's little face.

Ye Lian actually knew that Lan Shan was secretly painting, but he just pretended not to know.

In Lanshan's paintings, there are white clouds, birds, flowers and grass... and a few very childish big characters: Happy birthday, Mom.

"My baby's painting is so beautiful. Mom likes this gift very much. How did you know it's her birthday?"

"Dad told me. We made an appointment to surprise you together."

"is it?"

"Dad, where's the surprise you gave mom?"

Cao Xueqian had been standing beside him silently for a while, with his hands behind his back.

When his son asked, he stretched out his hand to Ye Lian and said solemnly: "Happy birthday, wife!"

Cao Xueqian holds a box on the palm of his right hand. It is red and very beautiful.

"What?" Ye Lian asked.

Cao Xueqian motioned to Ye Lian to open it.

It’s a very delicate platinum ring!

Simple and elegant, Ye Lian likes simple style.

Ye Lian didn't like it very much: "For me?"

"Look what you're asking, if it's not for you, who else can I give it to?" Cao Xueqian looked speechless.

Cao Xueqian took out the ring, grabbed Ye Lian's hand, and put the ring on Ye Lian's ring finger.

"Not bad, just right." Cao Xueqian seemed to be examining a piece of art.

"Do you like it?" Cao Xueqian asked Ye Lian gently.

"I like it." Ye Lian smiled.

"Take a closer look." Cao Xueqian looked a little mysterious.

oh? Is there any mystery?

Ye Lian looked at the ring carefully in confusion and found small letters engraved on the side of the ring: I love you.

"Let me see, let me see." Lanshan also joined in the fun.

"I love you." Lan Shan clicked on the English letters with his hand and read out in a childish voice.

"I know." Lan Shan shouted, as if he had discovered a big secret: "Dad loves mom!"

Ye Lian and Cao Xueqian were amused by Lan Shan's serious and cute appearance.

"Yes, dad loves mom, just like Shanshan loves mom, right? Both of us men must love mom and protect mom?" Cao Xueqian took the opportunity to educate Lanshan about love.

Lanshan clenched his little fists and said, "I want to protect my mother like Ultraman."

That solemn look made Cao Xueqian and Ye Lian laugh again.

The family joked for a while, and Cao Xueqian found an excuse to send Lan Shan back to his room.

Although the little light bulb is cute, it is still a bit bright.

"Thank you for giving me a gift so thoughtfully." Ye Lian said sincerely.

"Thank me?" Cao Xueqian picked up Ye Lian's ring-wearing finger, put it to his mouth and kissed it: "I owe you this. I should have bought it for you when we got married, because I was too poor to afford it. . When I paid my first month’s salary at Shunda Factory, I said I wanted to buy you a ring, but I didn’t do it, so I’ve been putting it off until now.”

"It's okay, you know I don't care about this very much." Ye Lian said indifferently.

"But I care! You gave everything to me, but I don't even have the ability to give you a ring. Do you know how I feel?" Cao Xueqian sighed with emotion.

"Okay. Isn't it there now?" Ye Lian didn't want Cao Xueqian to be so sad.

"Lian, I am lucky enough to be able to marry you, who is considerate and understanding. Just now you said thank you to me, but in fact it should be me thanking you." Cao Xueqian's eyes were full of affection.

"Oh?" Ye Lian became interested: "Why do you want to thank me?"

"Thank you for marrying me when I had nothing, thank you for trusting me unconditionally, thank you for giving up so much for me, and thank you for raising such a good son for me..." Cao Xueqian broke his fingers, one by one. Listed.

"Stop it, stop it." Ye Lian was a little embarrassed by the words: "How can I be as good as you say?"

"Really, I have a lot to thank you for anyway. I will spend the rest of my life thanking you and loving you."

"Why did you become an amorous prince today?" Ye Lian joked with a smile.

"I was so poor at that time that you and I suffered so much." Cao Xueqian was still sighing.

"Why are you so far away? As long as you are good to me and devoted to me, what are you afraid of if you are poor or miserable?"

"Don't worry, I will be good to you all my life. I also want you to be good to me all my life."

"Well. If I'm not good to you, who should I be good to?"

……

The two of them are an old couple, and the more they talk about each other, the stronger their love becomes, as if they are still in love.

Their hands were intertwined, either he gently caressed her palm, or she caressed the back of his hand, expressing affection and love.

Cao Xueqian rubbed the ring on Ye Lian's finger with his thumb and promised affectionately: "Now we have to pay off the debt. When we have money in the future, I will buy you a better ring."

"This ring is already very good. It's not about how many rings there are or how expensive it is. It's about whether you put the effort into it." Ye Lian said sweetly.

Unexpectedly, Cao Xueqian's answer surprised her.
