But the sudden appearance of this handsome guy made her feel an inexplicable surprise in her heart, while also bringing forth a sense of worry.

"Mom, this is... my boyfriend, Su Ming."

Lin Yanan, seeing the situation, straightforwardly revealed Su Ming's identity to Lan Yuexuan.

Given her current relationship with Su Ming, it was only a matter of time before he would meet her mother.

Usually cool and elegant, Lin Yanan found herself introducing her boyfriend to her mother.

Her ears were slightly flushed, feeling somewhat shy, yet happy and delighted.

She then tugged on Su Ming's arm, pulling him fully into the center of the video frame.

With a soft smile, she said, "Su Ming, this is my mother."

It was then that Su Ming clearly saw the figure in the video.

The lady in the video wore a sophisticated women's suit, her hair neatly coiled atop her head.

Her face bore a resemblance to Lin Yanan's, possessing the same cold and serene demeanor, but with added gravitas from years in a high position.

By estimating her age, Lan Yuexuan was at least over fifty, but thanks to excellent maintenance, she didn't look her actual age.

The merciless passing of time seemed to have spared her face, leaving few marks.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm Su Ming, Yanan's boyfriend."

Su Ming didn't feel stage fright, and his face showed a gentle smile as he spoke warmly.

Coupled with his handsome face, remarkable demeanor, and composed attitude...

...made him feel like a gentle spring breeze, leaving a refreshing, serene feeling.

It felt like the saying "a gentleman as precious as jade, unmatched in the world" wasn't an exaggeration, with him as a real-life example.

Lan Yuexuan, seeing this, had a flash of surprise in her usually sharp eyes...

...as she had a favorable first impression of her dear daughter's boyfriend.

"Hello, I'm Yanan's mother, Lan Yuexuan."

But Lan Yuexuan's face betrayed nothing of her inner thoughts, as she spoke lightly.

Lin Yanan then chatted with Lan Yuexuan for a bit before ending the call.

At this moment, Su Ming entered the lounge, planning to play a few rounds of King's Glory.

Lin Yanan changed into a new pair of gray stockings, and also switched to a pair of high heels.

Her face was flushed, her mind recalling the scene from the office earlier, as her heart raced.

But after calming down, she thought of Lan Yuexuan's attitude toward Su Ming, feeling something was amiss.

As expected, in an office located in a building in Shangjing...

Lan Yuexuan sat in her office chair, exuding an aura of authority, leaning slightly back, her fair hands crossed over her chest.

On the desk in front of her were a stack of documents, and on top of them was a paper dossier.

The name "Su Ming" was prominently displayed, accompanied by several photos of him.

"Chairwoman Lan, this is the complete dossier on Su Ming, including his life history, birthplace, interests, and social connections, all thoroughly investigated."

Standing in front of Lan Yuexuan was a tall and slender young man with clear features, dressed in a suit.

His name was Li Haoran, a Harvard University finance doctorate graduate who returned to the country a few years ago.

He had since become Lan Yuexuan's assistant, earning several million a year, making him a standout among men.

Yet before the stern and imposing chairwoman, he was nothing but respectful, speaking cautiously, not daring to breathe loudly.

"He was originally a driver, now suddenly becoming the general manager of Cyan Mountain Archery Hall, overseeing a construction company and a bar. It seems Li Guoqiang holds him in high regard."

At this, Lan Yuexuan's eyes emitted a chilling glare...

...making people feel like they had fallen into an ice pit, chilled to their core.

"Although he seems quite ambitious, with good looks and demeanor, if that's all he's got, it's far from enough to become my son-in-law."

Meanwhile, Lin Yanan directly called Su Ming over to the office.

She directly asked, "Su Ming, do you love me? Do you want to spend your life together with me?"

Su Ming, upon hearing this, was taken aback, not understanding why Lin Yanan asked such a question.

He looked at the elegant, graceful figure in front of him...

...and then gave a soft smile, "What's wrong? Why suddenly ask a pointless question like that?"

Lin Yanan's face suddenly turned cold, her deep crystal-like eyes revealed a serious look as she gazed at Su Ming, speaking:

"Pointless? Does that mean this question doesn't even deserve an answer? Or am I so unimportant in your heart that I can't make you care?"

Su Ming realized that Lin Yanan wasn't joking, so he responded seriously:

"Because I've always wanted to be with you for life, to be by your side and take care of you, so isn't this question redundant? Doesn't my usual attitude towards you answer this question in everything I do?"

Seeing the seriousness in Su Ming's eyes, Lin Yanan's heart surged with happiness and joy.

Sometimes, women just like to hear these words, which might seem pointless to men.

Lin Yanan knew well that Su Ming treated her well, but as someone always cool, independent, and decisive...

...she nonetheless wanted to hear a satisfying answer from Su Ming's lips when it came to this question.

Smiling gently, Lin Yanan said, "Since that's the case, let's get married, register at the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow, what do you think?"

Su Ming, hearing this, usually remained calm as water, indifferent like the wind, no matter the situation...

...but upon hearing this, his expression subtly changed, feeling as if he were glued in place.

He had known Lin Yanan's decisiveness and straightforwardness.

But hadn't expected that she would apply the same approach to what might be a once-in-a-lifetime matter like marriage.

Lin Yanan had actually planned to find time to thoroughly consider her lifelong commitment...

...but after witnessing Lan Yuexuan's attitude towards Su Ming, she felt an urgency to wed before any late changes might occur.

For earlier, Lan Yuexuan hadn't overly scrutinized Su Ming's mannerisms or shown any overt attitude...
