After contracting to have a child, the icy female CEO became addicted.

"Ranran, where did you get this BMW?"

Jiang Jianping, who had just returned home after a day's work, looked at the brand-new BMW 5 Series parked at the gate of his yard, and his eyes showed more worry than surprise.

"My child went to the store specifically to pick this out for you today!"

Lin Sufang, who had just come out of the kitchen in the yard carrying a basin, responded with a smile, and also winked at the house, "The child left the keys on the coffee table inside, go and try opening it!"

"You bought this for me?!"

Jiang Jianping stood there, stunned.

"Of course! Ranran went out early this morning to pick it out especially for you."

Lin Sufang, carrying a basin, approached Jiang Jianping, nudged him with her elbow, and said with a smile, "Go and try it! When you take your vacation in a while, the three of us can go on a trip!"

As if just recovering from his surprise, Jiang Jianping rubbed his hands together, rushed into the house without even washing them, grabbed his car keys, and dashed to the door.

Jiang Ran's voice rang out from the kitchen, "Mom, are you done cleaning up? We agreed to go shopping after I finished cooking for Dad!"

"Alright, alright!"

Lin Sufang responded and went straight to the bathroom from the living room to wash her face before coming out.

"The noodles are ready. Dad can just pour the sauce over them and eat them when he gets back."

In the kitchen, Jiang Ran wiped his hands on a rag and strode out. Seeing his mother already prepared, he smiled and said, "You promised, don't skimp on things today, Mom. We'll get whatever you want!"

"Fine! I won't stand on ceremony with you!"

Lin Sufang smiled as she took off her apron, grabbed the key to the front door, and habitually slung her canvas bag over her shoulder.

Jiang Ran has been staying at home for a week.

During this time, his parents didn't urge him to go out and find a job. Just like when he was a child, during winter and summer vacations, Jiang Ran slept in every day until he naturally woke up.

My father had to go out to work during the day and occasionally work night shifts, while my mother's job was a little easier; she could come home as soon as she finished her work at the factory.

My mother cooked lunch when she came back.

Dinner was prepared by Jiang Ran.

Although life was uneventful, compared to the backstabbing and hunger in Beijing, Jiang Ran's body and mind had indeed been well healed this week.

That's why Jiang Ran got up very early today to pick up a brand new BMW from the dealership.

This was a gift he had long planned to replace for his father.

"As soon as you bought that car, your dad didn't even have time to eat. He came back today and drove off without even washing his hands."

On the way, Lin Sufang was all smiles, clearly in a good mood.

"As long as Dad likes it, that's fine."

Jiang Ran smiled and agreed, then added to her mother, "Mom, you can't skimp on money for me today! We agreed to exchange the gold first, then buy you clothes, and you can pick out some skincare products!"

"OK!"

Lin Sufang readily agreed.

After the trip, including the car and the gifts from her parents, Jiang Ran had basically spent most of the money she had worked hard for that year.

My parents really didn't spoil the fun at all.

At the dinner table, Jiang Jianping enthusiastically took out his treasured wine and insisted on having a couple of drinks.

Lin Sufang, carrying several sets of high-end skincare products, excitedly showed them off to Jiang Jianping, saying, "I've never used anything this expensive in all these years with you. It's all thanks to my son's abilities."

"Your son? He's my son too, okay? I've already talked to Lao Guo, I'll take you and your son out for a drive tomorrow!"

"Okay, I have the day off tomorrow too. I need to pick out what to wear. Let me tell you, my son bought me a cheongsam today. I look like a lady in it."

"I've never seen you wear a cheongsam before, let me take a look."

"Get out of my way, don't get in my way while I'm changing!"

"..."

Jiang Jianping, who had been blocked outside the door, sheepishly returned to the dining table, pouring himself a drink while complaining, "Your mother is really something. She's so old, what hasn't she seen? And today she's acting all coy with me!"

"..."

Jiang Ran was silent for a moment, looking at the wine glass her father pushed towards her. After a long silence, she said, "Dad, I won't go tomorrow. You and Mom can go out and have some fun. I still have some money on hand, I'll transfer it to you later. I'm a little tired today."

As he spoke, he stood up, preparing to return to his room.

Jiang Ran didn't want to be a spoilsport, but he couldn't help it. These past few days, even after treating his parents to a lavish meal, he just couldn't muster any enthusiasm.

Watching Jiang Ran's departing figure, Jiang Jianping held the wine glass to his lips, but after a long pause, he finally put it down.

On the dinner table were all late-night snacks prepared by Jiang Ran herself, a very sumptuous meal.

Jiang Jianping's eyes darkened when he heard the notification on his phone that 50,000 yuan had been transferred.

When Lin Sufang came out excitedly in a dark-colored cheongsam, Jiang Jianping kept praising her, saying, "She looks beautiful! Clothes really do make the man. My wife looks good in anything..."

Stop being so cheeky!

As soon as she stepped out of the bedroom, Lin Sufang noticed that Jiang Ran wasn't at the dining table. She slapped Jiang Jianping on the forehead and asked, "Where's Ranran?"

"Honey, have you noticed that Ranran has been acting a little strange lately?"

"Nonsense! You don't need to tell me. I felt something was off when he came back from buying the car this morning."

With her smile fading, Lin Sufang sat down next to Jiang Jianping and finally spoke up after holding back all day, "He's so young, and he spent all the money he saved up last year on us. You have no idea how much it hurt me to pay the bills during the day."

"That's right, I went to the car dealership and asked. That BMW costs at least 400,000 yuan. I've never driven such an expensive car in my life..."

"Four hundred thousand?! He spent one hundred thousand on replacing my jewelry today..."

"What kind of jewelry is so expensive?"

"It's gold. Gold prices are high lately, so Ranran bought me a big gold bracelet."

"..."

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.

The elderly couple looked at each other, and neither of them spoke again.

Although the late-night snack was plentiful, no one was in the mood to eat at that moment.

Because they could all sense that Jiang Ran's condition had been really off these past few days.

Jiang Jianping gave Lin Sufang a deep look, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about... you use your connections to introduce a few more to the child?"

"By the time you remember, it'll be too late!"

It was rare for Jiang Jianping to think the same way as her, so Lin Sufang smiled and said, "I've already asked my colleagues for help, and I've even given them the child's authority. I reckon they've already made contact by now."

Jiang Jianping was taken aback: "You want the woman to add Ranran on her own initiative?"

"So what? This one is a bit older than Ranran. Her family is in a hurry, but we're not. Shouldn't we take the initiative?"

"..."

In the bedroom.

Jiang Ran was lying on the bed, half asleep, when she heard her phone vibrate.

He subconsciously tapped on his phone and saw a new friend request notification, along with a message.

[Hello, I'm Li Yan, the blind date Aunt Wang introduced me to.]
