"It's not even 8 o'clock yet, what's the rush?" Gu Lan An lazily yawned and stretched leisurely.

"Your wife is here and you're not even worried! No wonder she's still a stranger after all this time. Serves you right." Anna casually threw a set of clothes on him. If she could, she really wouldn't admit that he was her son, completely lacking the charm she had when she swooned over handsome guys back in the day.

"If he were to come, can I do this?" Gu Lan'an shrugged. "Mom, he didn't come. He didn't even reply to my invitation message."

"Oh? Did I just see wrong? I could have sworn I saw someone wearing casual clothes just now..." Anna wasn't able to finish her sentence before Gu Lan'an abruptly jumped off the stool and dashed outside. Just as he was about to go downstairs, he heard Anna shout, "Son, you haven't changed your clothes yet!" Only then did he realize his mistake and hurriedly rushed back to the bedroom, darting into the bathroom to wash his face and tidy his hair before finally coming out to pick out an outfit.

"Look how different you are now that your wife is here, huh? Even perpetual homebodies know how to dress up." Anna teased. Gu Lan An raised the corner of his mouth and compared the clothes against his body, asking, "Mom, how does it look?"

"Good-looking. My son is good-looking, he looks good in anything, mainly because his old mother has good genes." Anna's words were somewhat incoherent.

Gu Lanan helplessly tapped her forehead, then turned and entered the inner room to change her clothes. After walking out, she looked at Anna's satisfied and approving gaze, raised an eyebrow, and first glanced at herself in the mirror by the wardrobe. Then, unable to contain her excitement, she hurriedly walked out. However, before leaving the room, she abruptly stopped in her tracks.

"What's wrong?" Anna, who was right behind him, stopped and asked in confusion.

"This clothes is not suitable," Gu Lan'an said, as she turned back into the room.

"What's not appropriate? I think it's quite good," Anna said.

Zhao Ye doesn't like attending family gatherings and dressing so formally." Gu Lan'an explained, "I don't want to do things that he doesn't like."

"So, " Anna pondered, "speaking of which, I did see him earlier, and he was indeed wearing a set of casual clothes that stood out compared to everyone else!"

"What do you mean incompatible? He is the most suitable one. Originally, it was just a family gathering, but you guys turned it into a formal event for networking." As soon as Gu Lan'an heard her saying that his wife was unhappy, he immediately retorted.

"Yes, yes, you're right. Your wife is always right," Anna echoed and praised, "Your son is quite impressive, he has the potential to be a loyal dog."

"Whoever said that I must be the receptive one? Shouldn't it be the loyal canine on top?" Gu Lan An adjusted the brim of her red casual outfit's hat and walked out.

"You don't even look like a loyal top?" Anna hooked her arm through his and looked at him from above, shaking her head assuredly. "Someone as good-looking as you must be the bottom."

"According to your words, wouldn't Zhao Ye also be very beautiful?" Gu Lan An strongly disagreed.

"No, no, no!" Anna shook her middle finger. "That's different. Xiaoye is handsome, meticulously crafted, with perfect male features. While you are beautiful, a bewitching androgynous beauty."

"Tch." Gu Lan'an wanted to defend himself, but when he noticed that they were now in front of everyone, with all eyes upon him, he kept quiet.

Seeing Anna and Gu Lan'an appear from the corner of the stairs, the man who was still discussing business and the woman who was gossiping about Zhao Ye and making fun of his inappropriate attire suddenly fell silent.

Anna really enjoyed this feeling. She tilted her head back slightly and smiled, appearing as elegant and noble as a princess. Back then, she was ranked among the "Global Top Three Beauties", although she had aged now, her charm had not diminished in the slightest. Little did she know, this silence was all because of Gu Lanan.
