Anna fell silent at his words, her expression filled with complexity as she gazed at Gu Lan'an for a while. Carefully, she approached him and uncertainly asked, "Are you being serious?"

"Really," Gu Lan'an replied confidently.

"Great!" Upon hearing this, Anna's expression suddenly changed and she excitedly embraced Gu Lan'an, patting his back while praising him, "As expected of my son, so remarkable."

Gu Lan'an looked bewildered and asked, "Mom, you're not against it?"

"What's there to be repulsed about?" Anna let go of him and looked at Gu Lan'an with an intoxicated expression. "Love is love, regardless of gender. Being in a same-sex relationship is the way to go, isn't it?"

"Hahaha..." Gu Lan'an was amused by her and teasingly looked at Anna, saying, "Mom, I didn't expect you to be a veteran fujoshi!"

Can you see it?" Anna rolled her eyes and sat down on the chair, crossing her legs as she spoke to Gu Lan'an. "For all these years, your mom has hidden even her greatest hobby in order to not let my fujoshi nature influence your sexual orientation."

"You're not someone who supports homosexuality? Why do you not want me to be gay?" Gu Lanan asked as she sat down.

"Support and not wanting are two different things. I support because they have fallen in love and are destined to be together, plus they are outsiders. However, not wanting is because the path of homosexuality is too difficult to tread, and I don't want to drag you, my biological son, into it, making it so difficult for you to love someone." Anna rarely speaks seriously, but her seriousness only lasts for a second as she sarcastically remarks, not matching her image of innocence, "But since you've fallen for a guy yourself, then it's not my fault."

"Son, if you want to be in a same-sex relationship, you have to stick with it till the end. I've seen news and programs about Zhao Ye; he seems like a decent person, without any scandals. He might not be much of a threat to you, but he's a bit aloof. However, on the other hand, only someone with that kind of personality is suitable to be a top, and he's a perfect match for you. Since you like him, bring him home for me to see. If I like him too, I'll talk to your father about it."

"His personality is not suitable for being a top. Isn't it obvious that he's better off being a bottom?" Even though it was true that Gu Lan'an had been a bottom in his past life, he was driven by his self-esteem to retort before adding, "Thank you for your support, Mom. It's just that I can't bring him to show you yet. Right now, I am at most a stranger with a vague impression of him. I haven't even started pursuing him yet."

"Strangers slowly become familiar, don't they? Son, pursuing someone is not just about talking; you can't just sit back and wait for something to happen, you need to take actual action." Anna, frustrated by her son's lack of initiative, gave him a couple of preaching statements. Seeing that Gu Lan'an was still stunned, she reminded him, "Tomorrow is your birthday, and your father is planning a big celebration for you, right? You can invite him to come."

After hearing her words, Gu Lan An suddenly realized. Earlier, when he heard Grandfather Gu say that he wanted to treat someone to a meal, he didn't object, thinking that as long as his father was happy, they would just go along with it. But he hadn't expected that it would actually be a way to invite Zhao Ye. After all, Zhao Ye had always admired his mother, and if there was a chance to meet her in person, he would not let it go.

"Mum, you're so clever." Gu Lanan praised and quickly got up, rushing upstairs. "I'll send him a text message right away."

"What's the rush? I reckon it won't be held until tomorrow evening. We've got plenty of time. Let's grab something to eat first," Anna said, turning her head to look at his back.

"I'm not eating anymore, I'm full," Gu Lan'an said, leaving behind these words as she ran up the stairs.

"Is this enough?" Anna turned around and looked at the untouched dishes, shaking her head with a sigh. "You're so focused on your daughter-in-law that you forgot to eat." Before she finished sighing, she revealed another smile and rubbed her chin with her hand, squinting. "I'll be able to see my daughter-in-law tomorrow, how wonderful. I can't believe I've become a pair of husbands, just thinking about it makes me excited..." (The following omitted the daily delusions of a fujoshi.)
