“I’ll be careful next time,” Wei Tianlang was a filial son, trying to comply with his mother’s wishes. “Mom, this is Luo Yi’an, a girl I met in the mountains. Thanks to her, I was well taken care of during my difficult days,” introducing Yi’an to his mother, emphasizing her kindness to win her favor.
Upon hearing this, Wei Fang Yalan finally noticed the stranger.
“Hello, Madam,” Yi’an immediately smiled brightly when their eyes met.
A sweeping glance—cheap T-shirt, jeans, sneakers, and a loose travel bag. Despite her sweet smile and cute appearance, her shabby look was far from refined, causing a slight disdain to rise in Wei Fang Yalan’s heart.
However, if she was just a ordinary friend, she could overlook it for her son’s sake, considering he had been helped by her.
“Miss Luo, right? Thank you for taking care of our Tianlang these days,” Wei Fang Yalan slightly curved her lips, polite yet distant.
“Not at all, I’m happy to have met Tianlang,” Yi’an looked shyly at Wei Tianlang standing between them, who quietly returned a smile.
Sensing the ambiguous interaction, Wei Fang Yalan’s brow slightly furrowed, her sharp mind already detecting something.
“Mom, we’re all family, just call her Yi’an,” Wei Tianlang came to Yi’an’s side, gently placing his hand on her shoulder.
Looking at the bashful Yi’an and her son’s protective stance and words, Wei Fang Yalan’s brow furrowed even more. “Family?”
“Yes, we’re dating. Yi’an is coming back with me to live here,” Wei Tianlang announced their relationship with a smile.
“Please guide me, Madam,” Yi’an bowed obediently, feeling somewhat constrained in this luxurious place, facing this elegant elder.
“You’re dating?!” Wei Fang Yalan stared in shock, losing her elegant composure. “You’re with this…” Wild girl! She stopped, her face stiffening, almost blurting out an offensive remark.
Yi’an’s heart tightened, sensing her obvious displeasure, and moved closer to Wei Tianlang.
Earlier she was not warm but still polite, but now her attitude had become severe after learning of their relationship… Why?
“Mom, Yi’an is a good girl. Once you get to know her, you’ll understand,” Wei Tianlang softened his smile, speaking seriously to make his mother understand his determination, while firmly gripping Yi’an’s shoulder to encourage her not to be afraid.
Her sharp eyes fixed on Yi’an, years of breeding allowed Wei Fang Yalan to suppress her contemptuous thoughts despite her disdain.
Knowing him for just a few days and coming home with him? She didn’t believe such a girl could be good! Most likely she was vain, coming for fame, fortune, and wealth.
Tianlang, as the executive president of the Wei Group, was currently the most eligible bachelor. Many socialites had tried to approach him, but unexpectedly, he had chosen this unremarkable country bumpkin?
Taking a deep breath, she told herself not to get angry. Perhaps Tianlang was just momentarily confused. Soon he would realize a girl living in the mountains was unsuitable for the Wei family and couldn’t integrate into high society, and they would naturally separate… So, she shouldn’t be hasty or create conflict with her son over a mysterious woman.
She smiled, her smile not reaching her eyes, and spoke coolly. “Since you’ve said so, stay. We have plenty of rooms, and the Wei family can afford to feed one more person.”
After speaking, she turned and went upstairs, clearly showing her dissatisfaction with this unexpected news.
Her mother’s compromise temporarily relieved Wei Tianlang.
Fortunately, his mother understood his temperament and respected his decision. Otherwise, if she strongly opposed it while his feelings for Yi’an were unquestionable, it would have caused an even more intense family revolution.
He had already experienced this at the Luo family mountain villa and didn’t want to go through it again in his own home!
The situation was somewhat tense, but fortunately, the housekeeper Ge Ma broke the heavy atmosphere. “Young master, shall I prepare a guest room for Miss Luo?
“Yes, choose the most spacious guest room.” Wei Tianlang turned to Ge Ma and instructed, then formally introduced Yi An to everyone. “Miss Yi An is my girlfriend. She’s unfamiliar with this place. When I go to the company, you all must take care of her needs and absolutely do not neglect her, understand?”
Yi An heard him speak this way, which slightly eased her previously tense emotions, making her heart feel warm and sweet. She curved her red lips and nodded to everyone.
“Understood.” Everyone responded in unison, also raising friendly and respectful smiles toward Yi An. They had a good impression of her sweet and approachable girl-next-door image, intuitively sensing she wouldn’t be like previous guests who always adopted a condescending attitude.
“Alright, go do your own work!” Wei Tianlang dispersed them. After everyone had left, he turned to Yi An and saw the panic and unease in her eyes. Before she could speak, he reassuringly said, “Don’t worry, my mom just hasn’t processed this news yet. She’ll be fine after a good sleep.”
“Does your mother not like me?” Yi An worried.
“Don’t overthink it. She’s serious when dealing with strangers and hasn’t encountered such a situation before, so her reaction was quite direct,” he explained with a slight smile.
“Oh… right,” she could only mumble dejectedly, pursing her lips.
She could see that Wei Tianlang was very respectful and obedient toward his mother, and since he had said this, she didn’t want to dwell on it further.
“You can tell this is the first time I’ve brought a girl home to stay, right?” He warmly patted her drooping cheek, deliberately changing the subject to make her laugh.
Yi An gave him a coquettish glance, unable to suppress the appearance of her cute dimples.
If this was indeed the first time, no wonder her mother would have a reflexive rejection reaction!
“Let’s go, I’ll show you your room,” he took her hand and stepped toward the second floor.
If he couldn’t temporarily gain his mother’s support, he would have to personally take care of her, otherwise she would feel lost and helpless upon first arriving.
However, he remained optimistic, because Yi An was a lovable girl – something proven by how quickly he had fallen in love with her.
As long as they truly loved each other, and he let his mother slowly discover Yi An’s wonderful qualities, he believed his mother would eventually like her too. It was just a matter of time.
Everything would naturally unfold. Time could change many things.

Chapter Four
At nine in the morning, Luo Yi An was invited downstairs by Ge Ma. The moment she stepped into the dining room, she felt the space was silent and solemn, as if covered in a layer of snow, so cold that even the breathing air would freeze in her lungs.
Seeing Wei Fang Yalan sitting in the main seat, elegantly and leisurely eating, she inexplicably felt every cell in her body on high alert.
“Good morning, Madam,” she greeted timidly.
The unpleasant first meeting had cast a shadow in her heart. Seeing Wei Fang Yalan, she couldn’t help but feel trembling and apprehensive.
What terrified her was that Wei Tianlang had said he would go to the company early today, so she knew he was no longer at home, and she would have to face his mother alone.
Those Weird Parents! Which Normal Parents Would Agree to Let Their Only Daughter Leave Home with a Man She’s Known for Just Seven Days!” She feigned bewilderment, speaking as if to herself.
Hearing such a sharp questioning, the smile that had just formed instantly froze on her pale face, a surge of heat rushing to Yi An’s forehead.
“They originally didn’t agree, it was Tian Lang and I who convinced them…” She instinctively wanted to explain, but Wei Fang Yalan cut her off, forcing her to stop mid-sentence.
