“Okay, okay, go learn whatever you want!” His tone was indulgent as he pulled out a brand new credit card from his wallet. “Here, take this card. You can use it when I’m not out with you.”
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll spend too much?” She took the card boldly, giving him a playful sideways glance.
“You won’t,” he answered without hesitation.
He understood and trusted An, believing she wouldn’t spend extravagantly; otherwise, why would she be concerned about saving money when they went shopping together?
She avoided international brand counters, only feeling comfortable choosing items from regular women’s clothing sections. If he hadn’t insisted that certain leather goods and shoes required brand quality, she probably wouldn’t even dare to enter those specialty stores!
Besides, he had enough ability to provide her a comfortable life, and it was only natural to try to satisfy her needs if she truly required something.
His confident tone of trust made her smile satisfactorily. “Correct.”
He pinched her cheek, driving with a smile. “Where else do you want to go?”
“Aren’t you tired after spending the whole day with me?” She looked at his side profile, which still made her heart flutter, even though they were already so intimate.
“Being with you puts me in a good mood, so I don’t feel tired,” he said, not with sweet talk, but from the bottom of his heart.
An bit her lip and smiled sweetly.
If she could be this happy with him forever, she would ask for nothing more in life!
“Me too. But you have work tomorrow, so we should go home and rest.” Although reluctant to go home, she wanted to consider his needs.
“Let’s head home then!” He raised an eyebrow and deftly turned the steering wheel.
Tao Lesi’s “Fallen CEO”
Chapter Five
Unexpectedly, after the pleasant time, an unpleasant scene was about to unfold.
“Tsk, what’s going on? Is this a big move? She hasn’t even arrived, but stores have already sent a bunch of things, and there’s still more?!”
Wei Fang Yalan raised her delicate eyebrows, arms crossed, disapprovingly watching the servants carry bags to the second-floor guest room.
“An didn’t bring much when she came, so I took her shopping to get everything at once and avoid hassle,” Wei Tianlong explained to his mother as he led An to sit on the living room sofa.
Luo An sat nervously beside Wei Tianlong, feeling less intimidated with him present.
“I thought she’d never seen a department store before and wanted to take everything home,” Wei Fang Yalan couldn’t help but mock.
An’s face fell, understanding the sarcasm about her lack of worldliness.
“Mom!” Wei Tianlong frowned slightly, his voice lowering. “It was me who encouraged her to buy these things.” He took the blame upon himself.
Wei Fang Yalan pursed her lips, secretly displeased with her son’s protection. “Why buy so much? Won’t it be troublesome if you move in the future?”
She firmly believed that Tianlong and An’s relationship wouldn’t last long, given their vastly different backgrounds. Like someone used to fine cuisine occasionally trying simple fare for novelty, they would soon grow tired.
An involuntarily shrank back, and Wei Tianlong squeezed her hand reassuringly.
“Mom, An and I get along well. Unless something unexpected happens, we plan to stay together steadily.”
He expressed his intentions firmly, wanting his mother to understand and stop rejecting An. “So if she moves in the future, it’ll probably be from the guest room to my bedroom.”
This declaration made Wei Fang Yalan’s expression change dramatically.
Her son actually wanted to be with this Luo An long-term, despite her disapproval?!
“She…” Wei Fang Yalan wanted to criticize her directly but paused, changing her approach to persuade her son.
“You have access to so many girls, each from excellent families, with education, beauty, and refinement. Why choose such a weed? Have your eyes been clouded by something dirty?” Though she didn’t name her directly, her meaning was clear.
Previously claiming she wasn’t after anything, but now on her first outing, she was already showing such spending power! Wouldn’t her future potential be even more shocking?!
These actions only further confirmed her assumption – Luo An was no different from any other status-seeking woman!
“Choosing a partner based entirely on external conditions is wrong. Family background and education have nothing to do with my feelings!
An is kind, considerate, straightforward, and cute. That’s the type of girl I like.” He moved closer to his mother, more actively trying to convince her. “Mom, don’t let preconceived notions blind you. You need to drop your defenses to truly understand and feel a person.
Wei Fang Yalan softened her expression in the face of her son’s kind persuasion, but her gaze still swept over Yi An with displeasure.
“A girl should look like a girl. Wearing torn jeans and T-shirts all day, no matter how pretty you are, you look sloppy. Isn’t today much better?” she criticized, looking at the slightly dressed-up Yi An.
Seizing this rare opportunity, Yi An quickly spoke up. “Aunt, I’m not good at dressing up. If you have time, could you please teach me?”
“We’ll see. Some people just don’t have the talent, and teaching might not help. This is a matter of taste.” Tidying her hair bun, Wei Fang Yalan said proudly.
Even without a direct promise, this was already some progress. Wei Tian Lang gave her an encouraging look and smile, and Yi An couldn’t help but lift the corners of her mouth.
“Even if I have no talent, I’ll work hard to learn,” she added, trying to please her, already grasping the key to getting along with her.
“Yes, with my mom as a ready-made teacher, you can ask her to teach you makeup and etiquette! Just look at how elegantly she always dresses, and you’ll know she’s very skilled,” Wei Tian Lang sweetly chimed in, trying hard to bring his girlfriend closer to his mother.
“I don’t have that kind of American time! If you want to learn, there are professional teachers for that.” Wei Fang Yalan glanced sideways at her son, knowing he was trying to sweet-talk her, but she still couldn’t help but smile. “Don’t think you can fool me so easily!”
However, this Luo Yi An actually took her words seriously. After previously criticizing her for not knowing how to dress or understand social etiquette, she had already mentioned to Tian Lang that she wanted to learn, which was quite receptive.
“Who says I’m trying to fool you? I’m telling the truth!” he continued to lift his mother’s mood and ease the previously tense atmosphere.
Wei Fang Yalan pursed her lips and gave him a sideways glance. “Hmm, did you eat candy today?”
“Mom, I hope you and Yi An can get along. After all, you’re my most beloved mother. If you can get along well with my girlfriend, that would be my greatest happiness and satisfaction.” He continued to appeal to her emotions, believing that his always-doting mother would gradually adjust her attitude.
Her son’s sincere attitude made her have to seriously consider his seriousness about this relationship, but she couldn’t just give in easily. She still needed to observe Yi An more.
“Don’t say things too early. Even if I agree to let you date, it will take some time to see if she’s truly suitable for our Wei family.” She sighed quietly, ultimately having to consider her son’s feelings, but this was already the most she could offer at the moment.
Wei Tian Lang and Yi An exchanged joyful glances, understanding that her attitude had softened.
“Thank you, Mom.” “Thank you, Aunt.” They spoke in unison.
Though her words were still reserved, they were so happy about her softening stance that Wei Fang Yalan shook her head and didn’t continue the topic.
