Chapter 319: The Twenty-seventh Day in the ABO World

Chapter 319: Day 27 in the ABO World

The winter break flew by in sweet domestic bliss.

Wei Yang clung to An Yi every day, kissing whenever he wanted, hugging whenever he wanted, having the time of his life.

And as for meeting the parents, after repeated mental preparation and countless simulated conversations with An Yi, Wei Yang finally brought it up.

They chose a weekend afternoon. An Yi drove Wei Yang, who had dressed up carefully, toward the old An family home.

On the way, Wei Yang was so nervous his palms were sweating. He kept adjusting his already perfectly neat collar, muttering under his breath as he rehearsed what he was going to say and the etiquette he needed to follow.

"Brother, do I really look okay?" he asked again.

An Yi, hands on the steering wheel, glanced sideways at him.

While waiting at a red light, he gestured for Wei Yang to come closer, who immediately leaned over: "What's up, brother?"

An Yi kissed him on the cheek: "You still nervous?"

Wei Yang's cheeks flushed: "Not anymore."

The car pulled into the familiar courtyard.

When Wei Yang took a deep breath and followed An Yi through that grand door, An Teng, Yu Fei, and An Qing and An Xuan, who were also home, all fixed their gazes on him at once.

The gentle smile prepared on Yu Fei's face paused almost imperceptibly the moment she took in Wei Yang's frame.

This... this was the "cute male Beta" Xiao Yi had talked about?

This young man before her was actually slightly taller than all three of her Alpha sons, with broad shoulders and a tall, commanding build. Although his face clearly showed nervousness and restraint, his spirited, handsome features and the sunny disposition that seemed to come from his very core were... a far cry from "petite" or "soft."

A flicker of surprise crossed An Teng's otherwise steady gaze, but he quickly returned to his usual composure, thinking to himself: This kid... he's got some spirit.

An Qing was also surprised. When he'd heard An Yi describe him as "adorable," he'd automatically pictured a slender, soft Omega like Bei Yuke. He never expected reality to be so different.

He glanced at An Yi beside him, who looked completely at ease, and understood: beauty is in the eye of the beholder—the ancients really knew what they were talking about.

As for An Xuan, he'd been fighting back laughter since the moment Wei Yang walked in, shoulders trembling slightly.

He knew it! He knew this would happen!

Watching the brief shock on his parents' and eldest brother's faces, he mentally crowed: See! I told you Wei Yang wasn't "adorable" in the slightest!

"Dad, Mom, big brother..." An Yi spoke up. He casually took Wei Yang's slightly clammy hand and led him over to the family: "Xiao Xuan, this is Wei Yang."

Wei Yang immediately squared his shoulders, suppressed his nervousness, and flashed a smile he'd rehearsed countless times—one meant to look steady and polite. He gave a slight bow: "Uncle, Auntie, big brother, An Xuan... hi, I'm Wei Yang."

His voice was clear and full, carrying that bright, youthful energy.

An Teng nearly let out a "whoa"—this kid had some serious lung power!

Yu Fei was the first to react, a warm smile spreading across her face as she stepped forward: "Oh, what a good kid. No need to be so formal, come on in and sit down."

She sized up Wei Yang. His build was unexpected, but his eyes were clear, his smile sincere, and his manner open and warm. The initial surprise quickly gave way to trust in her son's judgment.

An Teng nodded and rose to welcome him: "Welcome, welcome. Xiao Yang, right? Come in and have a seat."

An Qing stepped forward to show them in.

An Xuan finally couldn't hold it in anymore. As everyone moved toward the living room, he sidled up to Wei Yang and whispered rapidly: "Sister-in-law!"

The blush that had just faded from Wei Yang's cheeks came rushing back, but he whispered back: "Hey, hey."

Everyone took their seats, and the servants brought out tea and refreshments.

Wei Yang was a bit stiff at first, hands neatly on his knees, back ramrod straight.

But An Yi's family really was as easygoing as he'd said.

Yu Fei chatted with him warmly, asking casual questions about his studies and family. An Teng chimed in here and there, and the atmosphere slowly loosened up.

Wei Yang was naturally outgoing, and once he relaxed, his sunny, talkative nature couldn't be hidden.

He kept making Yu Fei chuckle softly with his stories.

An Teng watched him talk with enthusiasm, a hint of approval in his eyes—it was good for young people to have energy.

Soon it was lunchtime.

The long dining table was laden with exquisite dishes, prepared thoroughly.

And it was during this seemingly warm, harmonious meal that An Teng noticed something unusual.

He noticed that the tall, spirited young man Wei Yang seemed to have most of his attention fixed on his second son, An Yi, at all times.

Whether it was serving food or pouring water, Wei Yang did it with effortless skill.

This kind of care was meticulous, attentive, almost instinctive.

Moreover, Wei Yang's expression while doing these things was completely natural, as if he'd done it a thousand times, carrying a sense of wholehearted willingness—even, one might say... completely head over heels?

An Teng watched this, then looked at his second son, who remained calm and composed, accepting it all as if it were second nature, and a strange thought slowly took shape in his mind.

He'd initially assumed that since his Alpha son had found a Beta, the Alpha would naturally be the dominant one, and this "daughter-in-law" would be the one being looked after.

But looking at the situation now...

It seemed more like this tall, sunny Beta was meticulously taking care of—even "waiting on"—his seemingly aloof, ethereal Alpha son who needed to be pampered?

An Teng's chopsticks paused mid-air. His gaze swept between An Yi and Wei Yang once more, and he thought to himself:

This... could it be that he's not a daughter-in-law, but a son-in-law instead?

The thought made him pause for a moment, then he found it a little funny.

He wasn't a rigid person. As long as the kids were happy together, that was what mattered.

It was just that the dynamic was quite different from what he'd pictured.

He'd thought his pig was going to eat the cabbage, but it turned out his was the cabbage?

He glanced at his wife Yu Fei beside him, who seemed completely oblivious and was still smiling gently as she chatted with Wei Yang. Then he looked at his eldest son An Qing across the table, eating calmly, and his youngest son An Xuan, who was clearly enjoying the show, a smile barely suppressed at the corner of his mouth.

An Teng shook his head inwardly and took a sip of tea.

...Well, that works too, he finally told himself.

As long as Xiao Yi likes it and is happy, what does it matter if it's a daughter-in-law or a son-in-law?

This kid had honest eyes, treated people sincerely, and was genuinely good to Xiao Yi. That was enough.

So he stopped dwelling on it and went back to his meal as if nothing were out of the ordinary.
