"Mom? What are you doing here?"

Wow!

Mu Yiran's eyes widened. No wonder he looked familiar. His straight eyebrows and peach blossom eyes were exactly the same as Guan Shiyan's!

Su Yi was also surprised. Because of Guan Shiyan's father, Su Yi didn't want to know about the entertainment circle. She lived a secluded life and only knew that her son was on good terms with the young master of the Shi family, but she didn't know what Shi Youxi looked like.

Looking at it now, the boy next to Yan Yan is Shi Youxi.

Could the young woman next to Youxi at that time be...?

"So your older sister is Xiao Guan's mother! Xiao Guan is so handsome, it seems he inherited it from your older sister!"

Mu Yiran praised him generously, and it was the truth!

Even Ai Ni, who was standing to the side, nodded silently. The extremely similar face looked particularly beautiful on Guan Shiyan's mother, but on Guan Shiyan's face it just looked...tsk.

Shi Youxi, standing to the side, frowned upon hearing the woman's words. He knew his sister's praise was just polite, but...

My sister hasn't praised him at all since the beginning!

He praised Guan Shiyan first!

"Of course! I'm so envious of my mom for having such a handsome son!"

Guan Shiyan scooped up Shi Youxi, who had a strangely sour face, and said to Su Yi, "Mom, this is the eldest young master of the Shi family, Shi Youxi. He is the most important man in my life."

"..."

Su Yi glanced at the boy next to her son, who had a somber face, and felt both ashamed and amused for her son.

"Hello, Auntie, you can just call me Xiao Xi." Shi Youxi didn't give Guan Shiyan any face and patted Guan Shiyan's shoulder as she spoke.

"Hello, I always hear Yan Yan mention you. I'm sorry you've suffered so much. You've never looked down on Yan Yan all these years and you're still willing to play with him." Su Yi said sincerely. After all, sometimes when her son had a fit, she would pretend to be a stranger. She understood all too well the look of disgust on Shi Youxi's face at this moment.

"Mom! What are you saying? It's clearly me who didn't dislike him!"

Mu Yiran now knew who Guan Shiyan inherited his personality from; the mother and son were so alike, inside and out.

"Mom, let me introduce you to the eldest young master... and this beautiful lady next to him, she is—"

Su Yi smiled and blurted out, "She's Xiao Xi's girlfriend, right?"

Ai Ni: "???"

Guan Shiyan: "!!!!"

Mu Yiran: “Σ(?д?;)”

Shi Youxi: "..."

He quickly snapped out of it, staring intently at Mu Yiran, whose face was flushed red, a wild grin spreading across his face.

Mu Yiran's sunflower-like smile instantly withered.

She had never heard of such a terrible misunderstanding before!

She quickly waved her hands: "No, it's not me..."

Su Yi smiled as she looked at the two of them, holding her son's stiff arm. "Yan Yan told me about it beforehand at home. Don't be shy, I'm very trendy too, and these days, relationships between older women and younger men are very popular!"

Guan Shiyan was so scared he almost flew away. The little secrets he had been secretly telling his mother at home had been revealed in front of her!

He felt that Shi Youxi had already begun sharpening his knife, preparing to kill him and dispose of his body!

Guan Shiyan suddenly realized, "No, Mom! When did I ever tell you this? This is Shi Youxi's mother! Miss Cheng Ran!"

As Guan Shiyan spoke, he glanced at Shi Youxi's face, only to find that his good brother was not as dark-faced as he had imagined, but was smiling like an idiot.

Su Yi: "Huh?"

"How can she be so good at this, and so young..."

Mu Yiran chuckled, "I'm not Xiaoxi's biological mother. Haha, I didn't expect to look so young."

Su Yi's face flushed red. "I'm sorry, it's because I don't pay much attention to these things..."

He actually treated someone's stepmother like his boyfriend!

Oh dear, it's all that brat Guan Shiyan's fault!

He spends all his time reading those flirting guides, claiming they're for helping his brother, the young master Shi, get ahead.

She thought...

Seeing her embarrassment, Mu Yiran joked, "But if I were ten years younger, I probably would also like handsome guys like Xiao Xi and Xiao Guan."

Shi Youxi's eyes lit up instantly!

What my sister meant by that was...

Is that what he meant?

Guan Shiyan knew Cheng Ran didn't want Su Yi to feel burdened, so he quickly chimed in, "Of course! Maybe we won't even need to be a few years younger. If Auntie gets divorced in the future, my brother and I will be adults by then! Then we can be with Auntie—"

"....."

Absolutely amazing.

Ai Ni shook her head, unable to bear looking: This person is really not normal! He studied psychiatry to cure his own illness, didn't he!

Mu Yiran: ...I was so badly wounded by friendly forces that I couldn't speak.

Shi Youxi gritted her teeth: Ha...the two of us?!

Before he could finish speaking, three cold, piercing gazes suddenly shot towards him from the side.

Guan Shiyan suddenly realized what he was saying, his lips twitched, and he finally said dryly, "Mom, let's go outside. Didn't you say you were going to take pictures of me? I've prepared a hundred poses, so you have to make me look as handsome as possible!"

Su Yi was eager to end the topic, and as Guan Shi invited her in, she didn't forget to call on Cheng Ran: "Miss Cheng, let's go together, aren't you going to take pictures of Xiao Xi too?"

Yes! Taking photos is the most important thing!

They ignored the awkward atmosphere from just now.

Mu Yiran quickly pulled Shi Youxi inside. There were still many people queuing up. After all, life is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and students and parents all wanted to take as many photos as possible.

As they approached, Mu Yiran realized that Shi Youxi wasn't wearing a suit jacket. Thinking of the item she had brought, Mu Yiran asked, "Where's your jacket? It'll look better in the photos! Have you decided what poses you want to strike?"

Guan Shiyan, who had been resting his head on Su Yi's head, turned around and handed her the suit jacket he was carrying. "Here it is, he just asked me to hold it for him."

Shi Youxi took the shirt and put it on; it was the one Mu Yiran had given him before. Guan Shiyan nodded in satisfaction, while Su Yi kept taking pictures with her DSLR camera.

The two young men in suits standing together were a sight to behold, especially Yan Yan's friend, whose aloof and handsome demeanor made him look quite dashing next to Yan Yan.

"Alright... Ai Ni, bring the flowers!"

Ai Ni stepped forward and handed her the bouquet of white hydrangeas, which the madam had chosen for the young master. Ai Ni then went to the front and handed the remaining bouquet of sunflowers to Guan Shiyan.

"for you."

"Are you confessing your feelings to me, Sister Ai Ni?"

The two spoke in unison.

Upon hearing Guan Shiyan's words, Ai Ni puffed out her cheeks in shock, her dimples showing as she grinned.

"What are you saying! This was a gift from Madam!"

Guan Shiyan was delighted to see the two dimples on her face. She chuckled and took the item, saying, "What a pity, I was almost going to agree to your request!"

"......"

Ai Ni was on the verge of exploding: "Not everyone who sends flowers is going to confess their love!"

This person must be crazy to get all horny just from seeing a bouquet of flowers!

Besides, she didn't send these flowers!

She's just a delivery person!

Guan Shiyan, holding the flowers, gently touched the sunflower petals and lowered his head slightly, saying, "That's because... the object of your affection is you."

"..."

She clenched her fist, glancing at Su Yi taking pictures of the two of them out of the corner of her eye. In the end, she didn't throw a punch. She lowered her voice and gritted her teeth: "Since you want it so badly, then I wish you'll be receiving flowers and confessions of love every day from now on!"

After Ai Ni finished speaking, she gave Su Yi a polite nod with a straight face, and walked directly back behind Cheng Ran, keeping a distance from Guan Shiyan.

Guan Shiyan stared at the swaying high ponytail, feeling a chill run down his spine...

He didn't tell Ai Ni that this was the first bouquet of flowers he had ever received. Although Cheng Ran had bought it, since Ai Ni had sent it, it could be considered a gift from her.

Only what is accepted is considered a gift.

Guan Shiyan thought about those two dimples and suddenly realized that he probably wouldn't receive flowers from anyone again...
