This is just too sudden.
Even though Luo Yanran had told her mother about having a boyfriend, this was completely different from coming here and seeing her cohabitating with a man.
Xie Xiao was even more troubled, worrying whether his mother-in-law-to-be would think he was taking advantage of Ranran...
Although there was indeed that suspicion, he still wanted to make a good impression on Luo's mother.
The two of them hurried to get dressed and finished their morning routines.
They put away all the couple items they had just bought yesterday.
Luckily they had just set those things out yesterday, so they rembered very clearly.
After tidying up, Luo's mother still hadn't arrived.
Xie Xiao took a sip of water, feeling sowhat nervous.
Luo Yanran noticed and, although she was nervous too, she couldn't help but comfort him, "It's okay, Mom will definitely like you."
Xie Xiao looked at her and sighed, "I hope so."
Luo Yanran couldn't help but laugh at his nervous appearance, "I was also really nervous and it was very sudden the first ti I visited your ho..."
Xie Xiao looked at her seriously and sighed, "But it wasn't as awkward as it is now."
Luo Yanran thought about it and seed to agree; she asked, "Why didn't you consider just leaving right away so you wouldn't have to et her?"
Xie Xiao thought this girl was really naive sotis, "What would leaving solve? What about you?"
He looked at Luo Yanran earnestly and said, "I am a bit nervous because this is so sudden, but I wouldn't just leave you to face this alone. You must be nervous too, right?"
Xie Xiao sighed, "I was planning to be fully prepared before daring to et your parents, but now that auntie has arrived, I can't just hide and not see her. Ranran, I am the person who wants to spend my life with you; I can't just run away from this."
Luo Yanran understood what he ant, so her gaze beca even gentler and softer.
"Xie Xiao, you are so nice." She said it again.
Xie Xiao realized that she always says, "Xie Xiao, you are so nice," whenever she's touched.
It felt like he had received many "nice guy" cards.
Xie Xiao smiled a bit and reached out to ruffle her hair.
Just then, there was a knock at the door, three tis, then silence.
Xie Xiao's body tensed up again.
Luo Yanran's smiling face also tightened, followed by a deep breath, "I'll go open the door."
Having said that, she stood up and went to open the door.
"hello~ Baby~ Mommy missed you~" A refreshing and gentle female voice rang at the door.
Xie Xiao's heart raced, and then he stood up.
As soon as Luo Yanran opened the door, she was embraced by her mother, sowhat helplessly, "Mom~ there are guests at ho."
Only then did Luo's mother let go of her, "You have guests this early?"
As she spoke, she followed behind her daughter with her belongings.
Luo Yanran reached out to help, but was turned down, "It's not heavy."
After stepping inside, she took a couple of steps and then saw Xie Xiao standing in the living room.
Xie Xiao called out nervously, "Hello, auntie."
This was the first ti he had seen Luo's mother in person; she looked better than on TV and also young and beautiful.
Standing next to Luo Yanran, she looked more like her sister.
Luo's mother's gaze revealed a hint of surprise when she saw Xie Xiao, but she quickly smiled and said, "Hello."
Her eyes swept over the young man in front of her, noticing his nervousness.
And a guest visiting so early in the morning...
Luo's mother understood, glanced at her daughter who was also obviously nervous, and smilingly said, "Take a seat, don't be shy. I just ca to see Luoluo, I happened to be passing by."
Luo Yanran quickly said, "Please sit, Mom, I'll pour you a glass of water."
Luo's mother said with a smile, "Thank you, sweetheart."
Being called 'sweetheart' in front of Xie Xiao made Luo Yanran a little embarrassed.
Embarrassed to look at Xie Xiao, she turned around and went to pour water.
Xie Xiao slightly raised an eyebrow when he heard the term of endearnt, as she would blush when he had called her that before.
Why does she blush when Auntie calls her too?
Luo Yanran's mother saw his expression clear as day.
Smiling amusedly as she sat down, she then said, "You're Luoluo's friend, right? How should I address you?"
Only then did Xie Xiao realize he was so nervous he hadn't even introduced himself.
He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Auntie, my na is Xie Xiao, I am Ranran's... boyfriend."
Luo Yanran's mother was a bit surprised; she didn't expect this young man to be so straightforward.
Seeing his nervous but candid gaze, Luo Yanran's mother smiled and waved her hand, "Don't be nervous. Sit down and we can talk. Luoluo has told about you."
Xie Xiao sat down on the nearby couch, feeling sowhat frustrated with himself, "It's hard not to be nervous, especially because it was so sudden and I wasn't well-prepared. It was very rude of ."
"It's nothing," Luo Yanran's mother said with a smiling eye. "Didn't I arrive unexpectedly too? I must have startled you both; you probably hadn't even gotten up when I heard you."
Xie Xiao didn't spot anything amiss at first but suddenly stumbled over his words just as he was about to speak.
Wait, what did Auntie just imply?
The term she used was "you guys hadn't woken up...."
And so Luo Yanran walked out to see a flustered Xie Xiao and her mother looking at him with a smirk.
She quickly placed the water in front of her mother and whispered, "Mom, don't tease him."
Luo Yanran's mother playfully tousled her daughter's hair, "I wouldn't dare to tease the person my treasure likes,"
With that both the young ones blushed.

Luo Yanran's mother seed quite pleased with herself.
She was content after seeing both of them with flushed faces.
The conversation finally normalized.
No longer ntioning the previous attempt to tease Xie Xiao.
Instead, she asked, "I rember Luoluo ntioned that you're both at the sa school now, right? That's quite impressive."
Xie Xiao hurriedly responded, "Not really, not really, Ranran actually helped with tutoring before, her grades are better than mine."
"Is that so? Our Luoluo is quite remarkable..."
Xie Xiao realized after chatting for a bit that his mother-in-law was indeed a doting parent—her eyes lit up every ti Luo Yanran was ntioned.
If you complented her a couple of tis, she would beam with delight.
Getting to know his mother-in-law's character, Xie Xiao gradually relaxed.
Only Luo Yanran by their side blushed from their praises, too embarrassed.
She tried to refute their exaggerated claims, but both of them would respond, "Not at all exaggerated!"
In the end, Luo Yanran gave up.
She thought, let them say what they want—it wasn't as if her mother hadn't always praised her at ho.
But hearing Xie Xiao also praise her along with her mother, his tone sincere,
Luo Yanran felt genuinely embarrassed.
Around eleven, she couldn't take it anymore, "Shall we go out to eat?"
Luo Yanran's mother uttered a surprised "Ah," "But I don't want to go out."
She looked toward Xie Xiao, "Can you cook, Xie Xiao?"
Xie Xiao: ...No.
He said embarrassedly, "I can cook, it's just not very tasty."
"No, it's actually really delicious," Luo Yanran earnestly said.
In the end, Xie Xiao entered the kitchen under the expectant gazes of mother and daughter.
From outside ca Luo Yanran's mother's voice praising him, "Oh my, tall and handso, and he can cook too! Daughter, you really have a good eye!"
In fact, he suspected his future mother-in-law was actually a flattery machine.
