Chapter 451: Chapter 451: The Aggrieved Second Brother

Under the expectant gazes of the three, Ye Xian opened the first gift bag. “A set of Windsor & Newton 25th Anniversary deluxe art supplies is for mom. It’s a limited global release of 300 sets, all originally sold out. I bought them from a middle-aged artist at 1.5 times the price. At first, he was reluctant to sell, but when he heard it was for my mom, he was moved and even said I inspired his creative inspiration, so he sold it to me.”

Ye Xian described vividly but noticed Xia Hewan staring blankly at the art supplies, expressionless.

Could it be that mom doesn’t like it?

“Mom…”

Just as she wanted to ask, Xia Hewan suddenly covered her face with one hand and leaned on Ye Zhuoxuan’s shoulder, sobbing, “Zhuoxuan, Xianxian, Xianxian actually bought me a gift. This is the first time my daughter has given me a gift, and it’s even from a brand of art supplies I really love. How can I be so fortunate~”

Ye Zhuoxuan said, “Come on, don’t cry, this is a happy occasion.”

Though Ye Zhuoxuan said that, his nose also felt a bit sour.

Raising a daughter for eighteen years, she had finally grown up, and he felt the warm sensation of wearing a small cotton-padded jacket.

It was just too much happiness, Ye Xian smiled, “Dad, it’s not your turn to cry yet!”

Then, she opened the second gift bag, “I see you like playing chess in your free time, so this is a bamboo chessboard handcrafted by Yoshida Toshiaki, a top master in the Japanese chessboard manufacturing industry. Do you like it?”

“Li, like it, I love it!”

A man doesn’t shed tears easily, unless he receives a gift from his daughter.

Ye Zhuoxuan couldn’t hold back either, tears swirling in his eyes. Who would have thought, not only had his daughter become sensible, but she also observed their preferences. What kind of ultimate heartwarming down jacket was this?

“Xiao Yezi, not bad, you’ve grown up now and even learned how to win people’s hearts?”

Ye Shaowen was utterly moved, rubbing his hands together and secretly looking forward to his own gift–this was the first time his little sister was giving him a gift, and he wanted to keep it for life!

“Yes!” Ye Xian nodded. “That’s all the gifts given!”

“???”

Ye Shaowen was stunned.

That’s it, it’s over?

Xia Hewan dried her tears, excitedly looking at her precious daughter, “Honey, no filming today. Sit down, mom will cook for you personally!”

Ye Xian exclaimed, “!!! No need for cooking!”

“Mom…”

“Xiao Yezi!”

Suddenly, Ye Shaowen roared like a tiger, startling Ye Xian. “Second brother, what’s wrong?”

“You… are you sure you haven’t forgotten something?”

Ye Shaowen’s voice was tinged with a grinding tone.

Ye Xian responded, “Sure! What’s wrong?”

Ye Shaowen clenched his fist, the warmth of earlier instantly vanishing, leaving him feeling utterly wronged and ready to cry.

But as a strong man, he forcibly controlled himself, simply curling up and sitting on the sofa like a baby who had suffered a great injustice, ignoring everyone.

Xia Hewan and Ye Zhuoxuan exchanged glances and shook their heads at their silly son.

Ye Xian scratched her head, feigning ignorance, and walked towards the sofa, looking at the television, “Second brother, what are you watching?”

Ye Shaowen instantly switched from the video game she was playing to Peppa Pig on the TV.

Ye Xian: “…”

“Hey, it’s not easy being home for once, who knew second brother would ignore people~”

Ye Xian moved to sit beside him, and like sensing a landmine, Ye Shaowen immediately moved to the farthest spot.

Giving a gift for the first time, she thought of dad and mom but completely overlooked him. Despite how well he treated her, she really had raised an ingrate!
