Damn it, I'm surrounded by insane Alphas!

When Shi Ran's mother received the news, she was leaning against the hospital bed, staring blankly at the unremarkable sky outside the window.

"France?"

She tried to sit up, propping herself up on her arms. "Director, you're kidding me... How could I possibly travel that far in this condition? Besides, how much would that cost?"

The director reached out and helped her up, saying with certainty, "Of course we're serious. There's an institution in Europe trying a new treatment, and your condition perfectly matches their requirements, so the treatment and round-trip airfare are all covered! You don't have to pay a single penny."

"Really? That's so sudden..."

She used to be a doctor, and although she had heard of some experimental projects that would cover all medical expenses, she never expected that it would happen to her.

Is there really such a good thing in the world?

Seeing that she was gradually accepting the situation, the director continued to instruct her, "The visa has been processed on a special basis and sent over. A special medical team will accompany you on your flight the day after tomorrow. Shi Ran has also gone there to prepare. You don't need to worry about anything."

The mother relaxed a little when she heard that Shiran had already gone there, and muttered softly, "That child, he didn't even discuss it with me... He went to such a far place by himself, where he didn't know anyone. What am I going to do?"

Little did his mother know that while Shi Ran was a complete stranger in Paris, three women were eagerly fawning over him.

Two days later, when the plane landed at Charles de Gaulle Airport, she still felt somewhat dazed.

She has lived a very honest and upright life; who would have thought that she would be able to fly to the legendary France at such an advanced age?

"Auntie, please slow down."

Zhou Jin's voice sounded behind her, and he handed her a cashmere shawl in a very obsequious manner, gently draping it over her shoulders.

"Be careful not to catch a cold."

The mother was somewhat flattered, and her fingers unconsciously touched the fabric of the shawl. Moreover, the logo seemed to be the LV bag that her young colleague had carried, which she had heard was very expensive.

"Oh dear, Xiao Zhou, this...this is a brand name product, right? I don't use this."

She hurriedly tried to take the shawl off, but Zhou Jin, quick as a flash, grabbed her hand and laughed, "It's not valuable! Auntie, it's a high-quality replica, not worth much! This is part of our... um, project benefits!"

Looking at him, his mother couldn't help but exclaim, "The benefits of this project are just too good!"

Since yesterday, these young men have been staying in the ward, helping her pack her luggage with every little detail.

She personally prepares all three meals a day, and even prepared a portion for the grandmother in the next bed.

The most attentive and thoughtful person was Xiao Zhou, who was busy with everything, big or small. Whenever asked, she would say, "These are all benefits from our project, Auntie."

I really don't deserve to be chosen to participate in such a great project. I must live up to expectations and not let others down.

Thinking this, Mom pulled her shawl tighter and, guided by Zhou Jin, followed the flow of people toward the customs passage.

At this moment, the airport exit was bustling with people waiting to pick up passengers.

Shi Ran was looking down at her phone, trying to check the latest flight information, when she turned around...

Wen Yiheng, Cheng Ye, and Fu Yanshen had somehow formed a subtle semi-circle behind him.

Moreover, each person had a large bouquet of flowers that looked quite expensive.

The three of them were already eye-catching, tall, and all were powerful Alphas, and they just stood there at the busy exit.

Every passing passenger glanced at it twice.

Shi Ran felt a chill run down his spine, and he took a deep breath:

"Gentlemen, is this really necessary?"

He had repeatedly emphasized in the group chat that morning: there's no need to pick me up, really no need.

Yes, Wen Yiheng created a strange group chat for the four of them.

Shi Ran almost suspected that if they really lived together in the future, Wen Yiheng would definitely be the one who brought him a tray every night to choose a concubine.

When he mentioned that Fu Yanshen would send a car to pick them up, the other two disagreed even more.

Cheng Ye was the first to jump in: "How can that be? It's my first time meeting your mother, I have to be there! It's a matter of courtesy!"

Wen Yiheng followed closely behind, her tone gentle but brooking no argument: "Professor Weber asked me to personally liaise with Auntie."

Shi Ran stared at the screen, speechless and choked with emotion.

Shi Ran: "Are you two conjoined twins? Why do you have to do everything together lately???"

No one answered; the protest was invalid.

Thus, the spectacular scene at the airport exit came about.

Shi Ran stood with her hands on her hips, her gaze sweeping over the three men in front of her.

"I'm saying this one last time: when you see my mom later, you'd better behave. Don't say anything strange, don't do anything strange, and don't scare her. Do you hear me?"

The three tall Alphas nodded in unison.

Shi Ran was still worried, so he looked at Cheng Ye, who was most likely to cause trouble, and gave him a surprise check, "Cheng Ye, if... my mom asks what your relationship with me is, what will you say?"

"That's obviously a man..."

He paused for a moment, then, seeing Shi Ran's suddenly narrowed, dangerous gaze, he abruptly changed the subject, saying, "A male friend."

Shi Ran: "..."

Shi Ran turned to Wen Yiheng and asked, "If my mother asks you why a doctor would personally come to pick you up at the airport, what would you say?"

Wen Yiheng remained expressionless, as if she had already prepared her answer: "Auntie, Ranran and I are old acquaintances..."

The moment he uttered that word, three pairs of eyes focused on his face.

Helpless, Wen Yiheng had no choice but to change her tune without changing her expression: "Shi Ran and I have known each other before. This time, my aunt came for treatment, and I happened to be attending an academic conference in Paris. I just wanted to do my part as a friend."

Shi Ran nodded, and finally, his gaze fell on Fu Yanshen.

Fu Yanshen simply looked back at him calmly, his eyes seeming to say: Do I look like someone who would talk nonsense?

Shi Ran thought about it and realized that Fu Yanshen was usually very quiet, so she didn't ask him anything.

After waiting for about five more minutes, two familiar figures finally appeared at the exit.

"Mom!" Shi Ran's eyes lit up, and she immediately went to greet her.

When the mother saw her son, most of the fatigue and anxiety on her face disappeared. "Xiao Ran! Oh my, you've lost so much weight!"

Shi Ran quickly stepped forward and carefully examined her mother: "I'm fine. Are you tired from the journey? How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

"Not tired at all, I'm fine."

The mother patted his hand, but her gaze was involuntarily drawn to the three particularly eye-catching figures behind her son.

Three young Alphas, each with a distinct temperament but equally outstanding, came to pick me up, each holding a bouquet of flowers.

Mom was stunned.

Isn't this airport pickup a bit too big?

Before she could even ask a question, the three men walked towards her with smiles on their faces.

Surrounded by three bouquets of flowers, Shi Ran's mother was overwhelmed with gratitude, but also terrified.

Three Alphas, three completely different kinds of "handsome," but all of them are so handsome that you wouldn't normally encounter them in everyday life, and yet they're all holding flowers and smiling at you so attentively.

An absurd yet perfectly reasonable thought suddenly popped into the mother's innocent mind.

She took two steps back and gently patted Shi Ran's arm: "Little Ran..."

Shi Ran's heart tightened: "Mom?"

Mom sighed and said earnestly, "Tell me the truth, have you been wasting money again?"

Shi Ran: "Huh?"

The mother gestured with her chin towards the three people in front of her, and lowered her voice, "Where did you get these three from, right?"

She paused, seemingly considering her words.

"Isn't that guy called... a male model?"
