23, Chapter 23
"No need." Lu Xiao said helplessly after recognizing that the rings were passed down from her mother's family.
Ling Cen was not an omega who cared about such things.
"Be obedient!" Mrs. Lu said with a smile.
Along the way, Lu Xiao listened to Ling Cen Xu Xu's praise of Mrs. Lu, and realized that due to his physical condition, he had a bad attitude towards his mother these days.
He explained in a gentle voice: "Mom, you should keep this... I've already given him the ring."
Madam Lu didn't want to explain anymore, she thought to herself, "Silly son... Just use the plain ring you gave to your wife as a wedding ring. He will definitely blame you when he sees other wives' jewelry in the future."
"Take it and give it to him." Mrs. Lu insisted.
Lu Xiao stopped arguing and took the jewelry box. Let's take it up and try it first...
"Thank you mom."
Mrs. Lu smiled happily and consciously resolved a dispute between the future young couple.
Lu Xiao got into the wheelchair and was about to leave the living room and go back to the room. He turned his head and saw Mrs. Lu's expression. After much hesitation, he decided to prepare his mother mentally in advance...
"Mom." Lu Xiao whispered.
"Huh?" Mrs. Lu lowered her head to look at her newly painted manicure in a good mood, and responded after hearing the words.
"Mom, Ling Cen... I think he might prefer the ring I bought today..." Don't be angry.
Hahaha, Mrs. Lu almost laughed out loud. This set of jewelry of hers is priceless and has no market. Every handkerchief store will be envious if it is released. Is there any omega who doesn’t like it? I don’t want to talk to Lu Xiao anymore.
With Lu Xiao’s blank love experience, how can he speculate on the psychology of an omega? Ling Cen has restored his self-confidence too much these days...referred to as inflated...
"Take it first, don't tell me if you don't like it." Mrs. Lu said with a smile. If Ling Cen doesn't like it and insists on wearing the crudely made wedding ring given by his son, she will drink coffee without milk or sugar in the future.
"Okay." Lu Xiao turned around helplessly.
Upstairs, Ling Cen was lying on the bed taking pictures of his wedding ring from various angles. Dozens of photos were stored in an encrypted photo album and he was slowly admiring them. When Lu Xiao opened the door and came in, Ling Cen was admiring the pictures of his wedding ring that he had just taken.
"You're back." Ling Cen turned around and saw Lu Xiao coming in. He smiled and got out of bed to pick up Lu Xiao. He pushed Lu Xiao into the hall and closed the door.
"Well, mom gave it to you." Lu Xiao whispered, handing the box to Ling Cen.
"What is it?" Ling Cen took it and sat on the chair next to Lu Xiao before opening the latch.
As soon as the box was opened, the jade was shining brightly. Ling Cen was shocked and took out a ring, which felt warm in his tentacles... He had only seen this kind of thing from afar in pictures or at auctions.
"This is too expensive..." Ling Cen said dumbly, "Why do you give me this?"
"It was said to be a wedding ring for us, and it was given to you."
"But I already have it." Ling Cen reluctantly bent his fingers and pressed his thumb against the inside of his ring finger, turning his wedding ring to confirm that it was still in place.
"What I mean is...you have already given it to me, so there is no need for Mom to give it to me again, right?" Ling Cen added softly, his words just now clearly showing his rejection of the kindness of his elders.
Lu Xiao understood what he meant, and took a sip of the warm water Ling Cen poured for him before saying, "Just keep it and put on this one." Ling Cen's idea was similar to what he had guessed, but there was no need to refute his mother because of this.
face...
What his mother said is right. No wife wears a wedding ring that is of the grade he chooses. It will make people think too much in future social interactions. Why not change it now?
Ling Cen put the jade ring he was playing with back into the box and whispered: "I don't want to change it. This one is very beautiful, but I already have...you gave it to me..."
The wedding ring given to him by his husband was not measurable in value. He hoped to wear the ring given to him by Lu Xiao all the time, even if Mrs. Lu thought he was "ignorant" and he did not want to change it.
Lu Xiao frowned and then relaxed quickly, and said happily: "Okay." This was exactly as he expected.
Ling Cen came over and gently took off the mask that Lu Xiao had put on when he returned home with one hand, and kissed the side of his face with a low eyebrow: "Can you go explain to mom..." I didn't dare to go.
Whether you call him timid or scheming, Lu Xiao's words as a son are much more effective than his daughter-in-law. This is just a small thing.
If he was smart, he shouldn't refuse Mrs. Lu's kindness at all, especially... this itself is an extremely precious gift.
Changing to this ring was the best choice, but the plain ring that Lu Xiao gave him was what he had been looking forward to for so long. In his heart, Lu Xiao's and his rings were far heavier than this one on the scale, and he really didn't want to
Replace it with an expensive ring.
"Yeah." Lu Xiao narrowed his eyes, enjoying Ling Cen's tenderness with satisfaction. In fact, he had already told his mother that explaining this matter would not be as difficult as Ling Cen imagined.
But he didn't point it out and instinctively enjoyed the omega's favor for a while longer.
"Okay..." Ling Cen tried to please him for a long time, but Lu Xiao didn't react at all. When he looked up and saw Lu Xiao's calm expression, he felt a little anxious.
"Okay, I'll go talk." Lu Xiao promised in a low voice while stroking Ling Cen's back.
Ling Cen let out a long breath, smiled and kissed him and said softly: "There is nothing better than what you gave me as a gift." A pair of peach blossom eyes looked forward to his beauty. His gentle words were very different from his "passionate look".
The harmony and contradiction are inexplicably more fascinating.
Lu Xiao was pushed out by him to explain to his mother. When he went downstairs, he recalled Ling Cen's attitude just now, and his back couldn't help but straighten even more... Nothing can make an alpha more confident than his wife's recognition.
Ling Cen turned a blind eye to his disabilities and flaws. Lu Xiao shook his head and chuckled. When he raised his eyes, his aura had returned to before.
"How's it going?" Mrs. Lu finally finished painting her manicure. The manicurist was halfway through painting her nails just now. She brought the old and new designs to find a ring for Lu Xiao...
The manicurist finished her work and was led away by the maid. Mrs. Lu sat on the sofa and leaned forward to ask about the situation.
Lu Xiao raised the red sandalwood box in his hand to show his mother: "Ling Cen said thank you."
"He didn't want it?!" Mrs. Lu was surprised.
"Yeah." Lu Xiao said calmly, with a hint of pride in his words. The ordinary plain ring they chose at the mall won Ling Cen's favor, but his mother's precious ancestral jewelry was defeated.
Mrs. Lu took the box and opened it. Inside, a pair of imperial green rings lay quietly in place: "Hey..."
Mrs. Lu sighed and couldn't help but shake her head. She really didn't expect it. She turned her head and saw Lu Xiao's faintly proud look: "Take it back. He likes that one. You can just wear it. This one is a gift from me."
Lu Xiao took it without saying a word, and Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "You have found a treasure."
"Thank you, Mom." Lu Xiao whispered, Ling Cen is indeed very good.
Mrs. Lu didn't say anything more, she smiled and waved Lu Xiao away. Lu Xiao had picked up the treasure somewhere... It was clearly the good luck of their Lu family.
He also laughed at his son for never having a relationship, guessing that Ling Cen's attitude made him too complacent... He needed to remind Lu Xiao from the side and suppress his temper so as not to make Ling Cen angry.
Now it seems... there is no need for this. She doesn't need to say anything about Ling Cen's relationship with her son. It seems that her daughter-in-law is just worried that her son is not ambitious enough...
