How would you feel

Quick background we have been on and off since 12 years old . we have been fully serious and committed since 2011 . we are 24 have two kids LITERALLY BEST FRIENDS. I know that's cliche but we were friends even when. Not together so I've spent 14yrs out of my 24 with this man

So yesterday at the mall we stopped at a Lil ring cart . he told me to pick what I wanted . not a fancy girl I picked a simple ring pretty reasonable price. 150( which doesn't matter to me it could be 1 dollar) any who I ENDED UP PAYING. Before you guys have a fit hear me out. We got a one time deal if we didn't buy it then she wouldn't give us the 75 off. Soon as we got home he paid me the money back AS SOON AS WE WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR. funny thing is I don't have the ring lol he told me his planning something I'll get it when I get it . so my question is how would you feel ? Like isn't the surprise factor gone ? Like I'm not being ungrateful or nothing just want opinions . any meths about seeing the ting before ? I'm lol really anxious and surprised confused idk
