9. Mutual exploration of intentions

As their lips met, Tang Mi was completely taken aback, her dark eyes wide open, her entire body stiff and unable to move.

"Which one is simpler?" Wen Jiyan had no clear idea and was busy asking for guidance without hesitation

Tang Mi, feeling bored, twisted the hem of her dress, the silence in the air making her somewhat uneasy. The ambiguous atmosphere circulating in the cramped compartment made her feel as if she were sitting on pins and needles

"Tian Tian, since you are going on a date with Mi Xiu Yang, would you mind bringing me along as a third wheel?" Wen Ji Yan said, shamelessly looking at Tang Mi Tian.

"Otherwise, what do you think?" Wen Jiyan said with a playful smile as he looked at Tang Mitian, urging her, "Alright, hurry up and wash up, or you'll be late for work!"

Wen Jiyan clutched his injured groin, hopping in pain, as he watched Tang Mitian hail a taxi and leave. He hurriedly hopped and ran back to the parking lot to retrieve his car, but there was no sign of her anywhere!

"Hehe..." Gu Yiyi smiled silently as she stared at Tang Mitian for a while, then said seriously, "I think you and Wen Jiyan have a chance!" After clicking her tongue twice, she continued, "Tell me, if Wen Jiyan didn't like you, why would he go out of his way to pick you up and drop you off at work every day, rain or shine?"

"Where have I lost my face?" Wen Jiyan innocently touched his handsome face that had been slapped, his expression carrying a hint of gloom. "Tang Mitian, I just want to tell you the truth, I am not GAY, I am a normal man!"

"Then you eat, I am going to sleep!" Tang Mitian glanced at Wen Jiyan with a complex expression, then quickly walked back to her room. After closing the door, she covered her chest and gently reassured herself, "What are you so nervous about? It's just that he has a nice smile, is it really necessary for your heart to race like that?"

Wen Jiyan turned his handsome face and looked at Tang Mitian helplessly, saying, "Tiantian, do you think I have hands to wipe?" Both of his hands were tightly covering his clothes, blocking the gushing faucet.

"I know that a new hot pot restaurant has opened on Xinshi Road, and it seems to have a good reputation!" Wen Jiyan was driving, occasionally glancing at Tang Mitian, noticing her distraction. He thought it was because Mi Xiuyang was not around, which made him feel a subtle, indescribable gloom. He could only casually break the silence and chat aimlessly. What troubled him the most was how to change the impression of being a 'GAY' in Tang Mitian's mind.

"No!" Tang Mitian denied eagerly

Wen Jiyan looked at Tang Mitian, whose eyes were filled with questions. Not answering was not an option, so he could only respond half-truthfully: "I am not sure what kind of man I like, but I am certain that I will not like someone like Mi Xiuyang"

"I don't..." Wen Jiyan originally wanted to respond with confidence, asserting that even if all women were to perish, he would still not like men. However, the thought of lying about being gay made him wish he could just strangle himself. What troubled him the most was not knowing how to explain to Tang Mitian that he was not gay, that he liked women, and in fact, he liked Tang Mitian!

"No... it's nothing, I just think it's really funny when you say you're so capable..." Tang Mi sweetly chuckled and said, "Yesterday, while fixing a drain, you somehow managed to burst the faucet. You really are quite capable!" After saying this, Tang Mi couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst into laughter.

"Well, you are more handsome than Wen Yanyan!" Seeing Wen Jiyan's sunny disposition, good looks, humility, and politeness, Tang's mother couldn't help but soften her tone significantly.

As the end of the workday approached, Tang Mitian's phone rang; it was a text message from Mi Xiuyang: "Tian Tian, I am sorry, something came up unexpectedly, I cannot pick you up from work today!"

"He treats me well, but that doesn't mean I have to like him," Wen Jiyan said innocently while looking at Tang Mitian. "If I had to like everyone who treats me well, then since you treat me well too, Mitian, does that mean I can like you?" Wen Jiyan looked at Tang Mitian with a double entendre, his dark eyes revealing an unmistakable deep affection.

"Are you taking me to work? Why?" Tang Mitian was a bit taken aback; this kind of virtuous behavior reminiscent of Wen Jiyan left her in a state of confusion. "Also, why are you up so early doing housework?"

That smile was so bright it was almost dazzling, causing Tang Mitian's heart to skip a beat, feeling as if it paused for a moment before suddenly pounding violently again, "thump thump thump..." The rhythm was so fast it was completely uncontrollable. She hurriedly took advantage of the moment when she turned on the range hood to take a couple of deep breaths, which helped her calm down a bit, and she began to deftly make fried eggs, but her mind was racing, and she made a mistake!

"Tian Tian, what exactly is wrong with you?" Wen Jiyan slammed on the brakes, turned around, and shook Tang Mitian.

"What do you not understand?" Tang Mitian stubbornly looked at Wen Jiyan, seemingly eager to receive a clear answer to this question

"No way!" Tang Mitian hurriedly denied, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Rest assured, Sweetie knows her limits!" The aunt hurriedly comforted Tang's mother

Wen Jiyan felt the warm breath of Tang Mitian brushing against his nose, and a soft string in his heart instantly tightened. His gaze was fixed on her lips, which were so close, slightly trembling and enticing his senses. Her pouting face was incredibly charming and lovely, so he said without hesitation, "Since you don't believe that I am a man, then I can only prove it to you!"

"Hmm, Mom, I understand!" Tang Mitian replied obediently.

"Alright, I won't regret it. If I do, I will be a little dog!" Although Tang Mitian felt a bit uncomfortable, she gently patted Wen Jiyan's back and said, "Please don't be sad, okay?"

"Hmm, I am not sad!" Wen Jiyan took a deep breath, his chin resting against Tang Mitian's tender neck, inhaling her unique fragrance. He felt a burning flame in his abdomen, which instantly spread and ignited his entire body. He quickly steadied his mind, striving to dispel distracting thoughts, and gently released her, saying, "Tian Tian, thank you!"

"Tian Tian, good morning!" Wen Jiyan said with a bright smile, pulling at the corners of his mouth as he addressed Tang Mi. "Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face, I will take you to work!"

"Hmm, I know!" Tang Mitian suddenly felt as if all the strength in her body had been instantly drained away, leaving her so exhausted that she could barely move her lips, only able to respond softly. In truth, she understood what her mother was saying; she knew that giving up her feelings for Wen Jiyan and cultivating feelings for Mi Xiuyang was the best and simplest choice. Yet, her heart inexplicably leaned towards Wen Jiyan...

"Alright, alright, I won't banter with you anymore, I'm going to be late for work!" Tang Mitian pointed at the clock on the wall.

"Why are you back so early today?" Wen Jiyan asked Tang Mitian, who was bending down to change her shoes.

You are welcome, it is my duty, goodbye

"Tian Tian, let me tell you, even if all the women in the world were to perish, I would never look at a man like Mi Xiu Yang!" Wen Ji Yan said as he got into the car, patting his chest and speaking in a fit of anger.

"Look at you, let me ask what's wrong." Mother Tang said nonchalantly, then with a twinkle in her eye, she raised an eyebrow and smiled, "From the way you speak, it seems like there might be something going on with Mi Xiuyang?"

Wen Jiyan hurriedly released his grip, skillfully turned around, and pulled Tang Mitian away from the kitchen. The faucet once again gushed water, drenching the property manager and the maintenance worker completely.

"He treats you so well, and you actually don't like him?" Tang Mitian looked at Wen Jiyan in surprise. In this world, there are two types of people: one who is willing to love you and spend time with you, and the other who can fulfill your financial needs. The love from these two types of people is the most direct expression of love. Of course, those who sell themselves for support are a different kind of financial transaction.

Wen Jiyan nodded and said, "You go out first, you have had a long day, go take a shower, I will take care of things here!"

"Um..." Under the gloomy gaze of Wen Jiyan, Tang Mitian felt a slight chill in her heart and could only respond awkwardly. She quickly corrected herself, saying, "Ah, no, you are a man..." Seeing Wen Jiyan's expression, it was clear that her earlier remark about him not being a man had hurt his pride. Tang Mitian was not foolish, so she realized this and hurriedly changed her words, smiling apologetically.

Tang Mi Tian heard this and, disregarding the soap bubbles all over her body that she had not washed off, hurriedly grabbed a piece of clothing and threw it on haphazardly. Then she rushed to the kitchen, saying, "Wen Ji Yan, what happened?" Before Wen Ji Yan could respond, she exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!"

"I leave that to you!" Tang Mitian said seriously as she looked at Wen Jiyan, "If you need any assistance, just let me know!"

However, thinking of such a convoluted and dramatic relationship, Tang Mitian's heart was instantly thrown into disarray in the wind

Ah? Just like this

"Pfft!" Tang Mitian couldn't help but laugh out loud

Wen Jiyan wants to tell Tang Mitian that he has fallen in love with her, and that his feelings are very genuine and profound

Tang Mitian had just finished washing the rice when she noticed that the water in the pool was taking a long time to drain. Unable to contain herself, she shouted, "Wen Jiyan, it seems the drain is clogged!"

"Income?" Wen Jiyan was momentarily taken aback, then said, "It's not bad, an advertising fee could probably cover my expenses for eating, drinking, and entertainment for about half a year!"

Listening to Wen Jiyan's words tinged with a hint of sadness, Tang Mitian was at a loss for words to comfort him and could only change the subject, "What about your mother? Does she share the same thoughts as your father?"

"What are you laughing at by yourself?" Wen Jiyan said, scratching his head in confusion

"Of course not!" Wen Jiyan quickly denied, "None of my friends have been treated this way, except for you!" He smiled as he continued, "My mother used to have discomfort in her neck, so I always helped her with massages"

"Why is that?" Wen Jiyan asked innocently

"Where is Sweetie?" the aunt asked, looking around in confusion

I am Wen Yanyan's cousin, my name is Wen Jiyan! Compared to Tang Mitian's panic, Wen Jiyan appeared relatively calm. He steeled himself, politely smiled at Tang's mother, and flattered her by saying, "I have heard Wen Yanyan mention you, saying that you are especially kind, Auntie!"

"I just want to take you to work, do I need a reason?" Wen Jiyan asked Tang Mitian with an impassive expression, "Is the reason that it's on the way acceptable?"

"Loving someone is not that easy; everyone has their own temperament. After the age of dreaming about love, a calm life is more preferable than a passionate one. Happiness is not so easily attained, which makes it particularly captivating. In the age of ignorance, the most heartfelt moments brought the greatest joy, while the memories that were once longed for were the most painful yet the most touching..." Tang Mitian took out her phone and, seeing her mother Tang's call, hurriedly answered, "Hello, Mom"

"I am not speaking nonsense; just look at yourself. Not only do you smile, but your face also turns red!" Gu Yiyi seemed to have discovered a new world in an instant. "Tiantian, your face looks even better than if you had applied blush!"

"I want to tell you, I am a man! I am a real man!" Wen Jiyan said earnestly, then casually brushed aside the strands of hair that fell by Tang Mitian's cheek, leaning in closely to her sensitive earlobe and exhaling softly, emphasizing, "Tang Mitian, I am a man!"

Upon arriving at the cinema, Wen Jiyan went to buy tickets, while Tang Mitian went to purchase drinks and popcorn. As she cheerfully walked towards Wen Jiyan, holding the popcorn and two cups of cola, she was suddenly startled to see a familiar person approaching her, causing her to freeze in place as if she had been pinned down, unable to move. The cola in her hand slipped from her grip due to the shock, spilling a brown liquid all over the floor.

What are you so anxious about? Don't tell me you still haven't figured out whether Wen Jiyan likes you or not!" Gu Yiyi looked at Tang Mitian with a hint of surprise.

Wen Jiyan touched his slightly swollen handsome face, which had been hit by Tang Mitian, and sighed quietly, "Alas!" Then, he started the car and, with a thick skin, drove back to Tang Mitian's home. He wanted to have a serious talk with Tang Mitian. Of course, since he had already revealed the truth to her, expressing his feelings was also a very important matter.

"Mom... Mom..." Tang Mitian called out timidly, cautiously trying to shield Wen Jiyan behind her. If Tang Mama discovered that Wen Jiyan was the same person living with Tang Mitian, the consequences would be unimaginable. However, at a height of 1.65 meters, Tang Mitian was completely unable to block the 1.80-meter tall Wen Jiyan.

"I ask you, can you repair the sewer?" Wen Jiyan boldly inquired earnestly.

"Indeed, I am truly capable in every aspect!" Wen Jiyan replied unabashedly, a confident smile gracing his handsome face

"Perhaps, maybe, it will!" Wen Jiyan sniffed, looking at Tang Mitian, "Although the faucet burst, I have taken care of the drainage!"

"Your face is also very red!" Wen Jiyan stared blankly at Tang Mitian and said earnestly

"No, no, there is still money!" Wen Jiyan hurriedly interrupted Chen Jinyan, hesitated for a moment, cleared his throat, and lowered his voice to say, "Brother, do you know how to fix a drainage system?"

"Of course, if you can't test it out, just ask directly!" Gu Yiyi said as if it were a matter of course, "If you don't ask like this and he doesn't say anything, aren't you two just playing hide and seek?"

The truth of the matter is always so starkly hurtful. Wen Jiyan inadvertently spoke the truth; he does not like Tang Mitian

"Mom!" Tang Mitian couldn't help but stretch her tone as she called out, "What on earth are you thinking so chaotically?" She pouted helplessly, "I have things to do with Wen Jiyan, so we have to go now. Enjoy your movie, bye!" After saying this, she grabbed the still-dazed Wen Jiyan and, without bothering to watch the movie, quickly ran off.

However, Wen Jiyan was unaware that his actions appeared quite different in the eyes of Tang Mitian. Thus, the gaze with which she looked at Wen Jiyan instantly took on a different hue. "Wen Jiyan, I have heard a saying: the deeper the love, the sharper the hate," she said, hesitating for a moment. Yet, seeing Wen Jiyan's deep, burning gaze fixed on her, Tang Mitian could only brace herself and continue, "You dislike Mi Xiuyang so much; could it be that you have feelings for him?"

Despite Wen Jiyan's gentle call, Tang Mitian remained oblivious, clutching the phone that had already emitted a busy signal, her face a canvas of inscrutable moods.

"What are you being so polite to me for!" Tang Mitian smiled brightly at Wen Jiyan, "Why is your face red again?"

As Wen Jiyan watched Tang Mitian flee in a panic, he foolishly began to laugh at the burnt fried egg.

"Yes, it's fixed. Are you alright?" Tang Mitian glanced at Wen Jiyan, recalling how he had just been wrapped up by her like a zongzi, and couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

I think I understand what you mean," Chen Jinyan said with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, "Call the property maintenance hotline!

"Sure, if you could add some ham, that would be even better!" Wen Jiyan said with a bright smile, sweetly addressing Tang Mitian.

"Did you not eat dinner?" Tang Mitian asked again

"I feel like eating..." Tang Mi Tian thought for a moment, "It seems like there's nothing in particular I want to eat. How about hot pot instead"

Wen Jiyan watched as Tang Mitian finished eating, and naturally grabbed a napkin from the table to wipe the corner of her mouth

Tang Mi Tian was suddenly startled by the handsome face that appeared before her, her heart racing, and she stammered awkwardly, "Wen... Wen Ji Yan, what do you want to do?"

"Tang Mitian, you do have it, you are lying!" Wen Jiyan insisted just as firmly, his gaze burning as he stared at Tang Mitian

Tang Mi's sweet lips twitched more noticeably as she interrupted, saying, "Yi Yi, please stop talking!" If this continues, who knows what shocking words she might utter next. "Let's get to work first!" She pulled Gu Yi Yi and they began to busy themselves.

"I am just asking casually." Mother Tang smiled kindly, yet her gaze remained sharp as she looked at Wen Jiyan

"I, I am fine." Tang Mitian hurriedly forced out a formulaic smile, "Have we arrived?"

"How is it? Comfortable, right?" Wen Jiyan asked while controlling the pressure, watching Tang Mitian comfortably close her eyes, her slightly curled eyelashes fluttering like small fans. The expression on her entire delicate face resembled that of a lazy little kitten, making Wen Jiyan feel as if his heart were being scratched by the paws of a small cat, a ticklish sensation...

What kind of man would you be attracted to?" Tang Mitian said with a smirk, turning her charming face as she asked Wen Jiyan earnestly

"Wen... Wen Jiyan, you are up so early!" Tang Mitian stammered a greeting to Wen Jiyan, who was mopping the floor in the living room. She glanced at the clock on the wall, which read 6:45. Clearly, she was not accustomed to his early rising, and she was even more astonished that he was mopping the floor and doing housework so early in the morning.

Hmm!

Tang Mi Tian obediently grabbed the cup and gulped it down. Just after finishing, Wen Ji Yan handed her a bun, saying, "Here, it's meat-filled, just out of the oven this morning!" Without refusing, she devoured it without hesitation.

"Oh, I have no doubt!" Wen Jiyan quickly nodded in agreement, his dark eyes seriously looking at Tang Mitian, "So what shall we do?"

"Alas, there are too many peach blossoms; in fact, I am also worried!" Mother Tang took a deep breath, her radiant smile tinged with a hint of concern, "I am afraid this child will be dazzled by the choices!"

"Are you just eating instant noodles?" Tang Mitian glanced at the instant noodle box in Wen Jiyan's hand and asked awkwardly

"You... you shameless man!" Tang Mitian exclaimed in exasperation as she raised her hand to slap him. This damned guy kissed her just to prove he was a man, which nearly drove Tang Mitian to the brink of bloodshed.

"I have so much work today, I'm exhausted, my hands are cramping from putting on makeup!" Tang Mi Tian wearily stretched and twisted her sore neck as she spoke

Wen Jiyan's expression froze for a moment, then he suddenly turned around, gripping Tang Mitian's shoulders tightly, and retorted word by word: "Am I not a man? Or am I not considered a man?"

Tang Mitian opened the door and was taken aback to see Wen Jiyan sprawled haphazardly on the sofa. "Wen Jiyan, weren't you supposed to be going to the beach today? Why are you back so early?"

"Ah? Mikhail went to your house to look for you?" Tang Mitian was a bit confused upon hearing this, but her tone instantly rose by several decibels, "What did he go to find you for?"

Do not tease me! Gu Yiyi teased Tang Mitian, saying: "Mitian, I've noticed that whenever Wen Jiyan is mentioned, you can't help but smile!"

"I can't tell, you are still a filial child!" Upon hearing this answer, Tang Mitian felt an uncontrollable surge of joy and delight in her heart! She actually considered herself somewhat special; in order to conceal her excitement, she continued, "Since you are a filial child, why did you run away from the marriage?"

Under the penetrating gaze of Gu Yiyi, Tang Mitian felt a slight sense of unease in her heart: "Hmm, yes!"

When the property manager arrived with the maintenance worker, they immediately burst into laughter upon seeing Wen Jiyan, who was wrapped up like a zongzi. They then formally greeted him, saying, "Hello, sir, we are here for the repairs, please step aside!"

I made an appointment with your aunt to watch a movie together!" Mother Tang's gaze remained fixed on Wen Jiyan, "Tian Tian, what is your relationship with Wen Jiyan?"

Oh! Wen Jiyan responded calmly, looking at Tang Mitian's face filled with terror, unsure of what to say to comfort her, after all, that was her mother

"Not much, I was just asking casually." Mother Tang chuckled lightly a couple of times before slowly saying, "This morning, Mi Xiuyang came to my house to see me!"

Tang Mi Tian glanced at Wen Ji Yan with difficulty, seeing him looking at her pitifully. Her heart suddenly tightened, and without hesitation, she walked over, took a bath towel, and gently wiped his head. Then, she skillfully wrapped his water-drenched head. "Wait a moment, I will find you another bath towel!" After saying this, she hurriedly ran back to the room, searched around but could not find a large bath towel. Looking at the pink bed sheet, she pulled it down without hesitation, and then, following the previous method, first wiped Wen Ji Yan, and then wrapped him up completely.

"Sweetie, who is he?" Mother Tang asked with a serious expression, pointing at Wen Jiyan.

"Damn it, if your method doesn't work, I'll throw you into the sewer!" Wen Jiyan said irritably as he hung up the phone. Following Chen Jinyan's instructions, he finally managed to gather the towel and the hose, stuffing them into the sewer opening. He turned on the faucet with a forceful twist, and water rushed in, the foul smell of rotting vegetables from the drain assaulting his nostrils. While pressing down on the hose and pinching his nose, he eventually noticed that the water seemed to be slowly draining down. Excited, he quickly turned the faucet again.

No, no, you are overthinking! Tang Mitian, sweet as a dream, awakened from her reverie, tucked away her feelings of disappointment, and forced a smile at Wen Jiyan, trying hard to appear cheerful. "I am not angry..." There is nothing to be angry about. Just because she has feelings for Wen Jiyan does not mean that he will reciprocate those feelings. Matters of the heart are not dictated by one's own emotions; Tang Mitian rationally reassured herself.

Tian Tian, please do not find me tedious. Mishuyang's conditions are quite good, and he treats you well. If you do not seize this opportunity properly, it will be you who regrets it in the future!" Mother Tang took on the role of an elder and began to advise earnestly.

Mother Tang's gaze was fixed on Wen Jiyan. Seeing him with a smile in his eyes, he resembled a well-behaved big boy who was adored by the elderly. Her expression softened even more as she casually asked, "Wen Jiyan, what do you do?"

We are friends! Tang Mitian looked at Wen Jiyan, her mouth slightly open, fearing he would mention their co-rental relationship. She hurriedly responded to Tang's mother, "He is Wen Yanyan's cousin, so he can be considered my half-cousin, right?" As she spoke, she put on a flattering smile, but inside, she was anxiously beating her heart, crying out: "Mom, please stop staring at Wen Jiyan! The more you look, the more my little heart gets nervous and starts to sweat!"

Tang Mi Tian followed Wen Ji Yan's指向 and looked at the television, which was playing a program about the ocean. She couldn't help but twitch her lips and said, "Alright, take your time watching!"

However, if Wen Jiyan were to speak the truth, given Tang Mitian's temperament, she would definitely drive him away. He would lose the opportunity to gain favor first, and with the outstanding rival Mi Xiuyang lurking, Wen Jiyan does not dare to speak the truth, nor can he do so at this moment

"Tian Tian, what’s wrong with you?" Wen Jiyan asked with a hint of curiosity, holding the movie ticket in his hand as he observed Tang Mitian's startled expression. He scanned the surroundings cautiously and, upon spotting a familiar yet strange figure, he immediately understood. The reason for Tang Mitian's terror made his heart flutter slightly, but in comparison to her fear, he appeared much more composed. He tugged at the corners of his mouth, which were slightly stiff, and politely smiled at Tang's mother, saying, "Hello, Auntie!" Tang Mitian's terror made his heart flutter slightly, but in comparison to her fear, he appeared much more composed. He tugged at the corners of his mouth, which were slightly stiff, and politely smiled at Tang's mother, saying, "Hello, Auntie!"

"If I need to make a phone call, do I really need to ask you?" Wen Jiyan, having steeled himself, agreed to Tang Mitian. He certainly wanted to make a good impression, meaning he wanted to handle it himself, "I want to handle it myself, what should I do?"

"Mishuyan? What happened to him?" Tang Mitian asked in confusion, "Mom, why did you suddenly bring him up?"

Tang Mi Tian held the phone in her hand and began to drift into a reverie, lost in thought. Her chaotic thoughts seemed to have found a new direction, yet she felt overwhelmed by difficulties. She truly did not know how to move forward.

"Hot pot?" Wen Jiyan confirmed, and upon seeing Tang Mi nod, he said, "Alright, then let's go eat hot pot!"

Hehe! Wen Jiyan then forced a couple of dry laughs, pulling at the corners of his mouth to reveal the brightest and most radiant smile.

You!" Wen Jiyan extended his hand and pointed at Tang Mitian, saying, "After much thought, I find that Mi Xiuyang is quite unreliable, so I have decided to protect you!" Wen Jiyan said with righteous seriousness, "If under my protection, Mi Xiuyang can confidently continue to pursue you and move you with his sincerity, then I will bless you both!

Alright, I will hang up first!" Mother Tang ended the call

A sudden, inexplicable panic surged within Tang Mi's heart, "Alright, Wen Jiyan, I understand now, you are a man, a real man!"

"In the evening, I promised Mishuyang..." Tang Mitian's expression was hesitant as she apologetically spoke to Wen Jiyan

"Go on, go on!" Wen Jiyan waved his hand and smiled as he sent Tang Mitian out. Listening to her grab her clothes, she ran to the bathroom to take a shower, and hurriedly called Chen Jinyan: "Hey, brother! SOS!"

He specifically came over to explain to me that his previous feelings for Wen Yanyan were a misunderstanding. Mother Tang said this with an impassive expression, but her heart was unable to contain its overwhelming joy. She had always liked Mi Xiuyang, and at that moment, she was furious at his lack of insight for not appreciating Tang Mitian. However, seeing him sincerely come over to explain, and even after being sharply ridiculed by her, he still responded gently and firmly affirmed that he liked Tang Mitian and would do his utmost to pursue her, filled Mother Tang's heart with happiness. "Mi Xiuyang said he likes you and is pursuing you!" She had always liked Mi Xiuyang, and at that moment, she was furious at his lack of insight for not appreciating Tang Mitian. However, seeing him sincerely come over to explain, and even after being sharply ridiculed by her, he still responded gently and firmly affirmed that he liked Tang Mitian and would do his utmost to pursue her, filled Mother Tang's heart with happiness. "Mi Xiuyang said he likes you and is pursuing you!"

You have

Wen Jiyan quickly changed his shoes, locked the door, and followed Tang Mitian out. Seeing her with her arms wide open, breathing freely, he couldn't help but smile gently, calling out: "Tian Tian, let's go!"

"Tian Tian, what are your thoughts?" Mother Tang waited for a while but did not hear Tang Mi Tian speak, so she urged, "Do you think Mi Xiu Yang is good and want to get to know him better, or should I arrange for you to meet that young man introduced by the aunt?"

In case of a blockage, the following tools can be used to clear it: 1. A toilet (floor drain) plunger, preferably a rubber cup type, with a better option being a suction cup; after adding water, a few pumps will suffice. 2. A drain auger, made of a wire with a handle; while running water, move the auger up and down a few times to bring out hair and other debris, thus clearing the pipe. 3. Directly use a hose to flush with water; wrap a towel or similar around the hose and insert it into the drain opening, utilizing the pressure of the tap water to clear the blockage. " Chen Jinyan finished reading in one breath and took a deep breath, asking, " Do you understand? "

Very good, I am very satisfied" Tang Mi smiled sweetly as she opened the car door, praising Wen Jiyan.

Hmm, quite comfortable! Tang Mi's sweet lips curled into a smile as she casually asked, "Do you often help people with massages?"

Ah? What should we do?" Wen Jiyan hurriedly followed into the kitchen, feeling helpless. His young master truly did not know how to handle this, furrowing his handsome brows as he looked at Tang Mitian with difficulty

I..." Wen Jiyan opened his mouth and said with conviction, "I want to tell you that I am a man!" Then he patted his chest and said seriously, "If you still don't believe it, then let's continue with what we are doing!"

Rushing all the way to the entrance of Coastal Park, Wen Jiyan glanced at his watch, the timing was just right, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a bright smile: "Tiantian, how do you like this driver of mine?"

"Hmm, Tiantian, what are you doing?" Mother Tang asked tentatively, "Did you go out with Mi Xiuyang today?"

Indeed, the people in my family often say that among so many siblings, it is only Wen Yanyan and I who resemble each other the most!" Wen Jiyan smiled lightly, maintaining his composure as he told a lie. He wagered that the difference between a person wearing makeup and not wearing makeup was enough to fool Tang's mother, who had only met him once!

It occurred to me that since Mi Xiuyang was able to pursue Tang Mitian under the pretense of Wen Yanyan, it is not impossible for Wen Jiyan to pursue Mi Xiuyang under the name of Tang Mitian. After all, Wen Jiyan is gay and is attracted to men

The alarm clock disturbed her sweet dreams. Tang Mi, feeling impatient, turned over and turned off the loudly singing alarm clock. She lay in bed lazily, rolling around a few times, and finally sprang up like a carp leaping out of the water. She quickly got dressed, rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and opened the door, preparing to wash up and head to work

Oh, let me tell you, I just ran into Tiantian!

The sensitive waist received an unfamiliar touch, and there were strange heavy breaths by her ear, causing Tang Mitian to suddenly become alert. She reached out to push Wen Jiyan away, her pretty face instantly flushed red. She awkwardly stared at Wen Jiyan and shyly asked, "Wen Jiyan, what do you mean by that?"

Wen Jiyan opened his mouth, wanting to say something but hesitating, then focused on driving, taking Tang Mitian to "Spicy Temptation" for a hot pot meal. Seeing her expression still gloomy, he feared that she would go home and sulk alone in her room, so he suggested going to watch a movie. Although Tang Mitian was distracted, she agreed wholeheartedly.

Wen Jiyan smiled without speaking, gesturing towards the dining table, "Look at me, breakfast is all prepared for you!" Of course, Wen Jiyan could not mention that he had been so excited last night that he couldn't sleep, counting thousands of sheep, yet becoming increasingly awake, ... his mind filled with Tang Mi's sweet and delicate smile, her blushing face ... the burning flame within him spread and ignited his entire body ... Thus, early in the morning, he got up to do housework, exercise, and expend the excess energy within him. The burning flame within him spread and ignited his entire body ... Thus, early in the morning, he got up to do housework, exercise, and expend the excess energy within him

When Tang Mitian finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom, she saw Wen Jiyan dressed in a sharp suit, wearing a pair of large sunglasses, striking a cool pose in the living room. She couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "Wen Jiyan, what on earth are you doing?"

What can be done? "" Tang Mi Tian helplessly shrugged her shoulders, "" Just make sure she doesn't find out that you are a man, and that you live with me as a roommate. "" After saying this, she added very seriously, "" No matter what method you use! These two points must be firmly remembered. ""

"Because you are a man!" Tang Mitian pouted, "Even if you are gay and like men, if my mother finds out that we are living together, she will definitely strangle you to death!"

The aunt nodded in agreement: "These two individuals each have their advantages, but from your analysis, it seems that Mishuyan is a bit more reliable!" After all, the young man came to visit with sincerity, and his overall qualities are quite good. From the perspective of the elders, he is definitely a trustworthy candidate.

"What kind of man are you? You are just a GAY!" In a moment of urgency, Tang Mitian retorted, "You are not a man, and you don't count as one either"

Wen Jiyan took a deep breath, gazing at the pitch-black night sky, where the stars twinkled faintly. A sense of inexplicable gloom filled his heart, which was the very worry that had caused him to hesitate and refrain from revealing the truth to Tang Mitian. Because, if Tang Mitian were to truly get angry, the consequences would be very serious

"I am glad you are not angry. What shall we have for dinner tonight?" Wen Jiyan quickly shifted the topic, his voice gentle as he looked at Tang Mitian and asked. Although plans often change, since that annoying guy, Mi Xiuyang, did not show up, Wen Jiyan could create a romantic world for two with Tang Mitian, gradually guiding her and hinting that he is not gay.

Wen Jiyan, I earnestly tell you, never doubt my mother! She absolutely possesses such formidable explosive power!" Tang Mitian seemed afraid that Wen Jiyan would not believe her, and added.

"Well, to be honest, I still prefer Mi Xiuyang," said Tang Mama, pulling her aunt aside. She compared Mi Xiuyang with Wen Jiyan in detail, concluding, "Although Wen Jiyan is good-looking and a model, his income is unstable. Besides, why does a man need to be that good-looking? Moreover, Mi Xiuyang is not only good-looking but also capable, with a stable job, making him suitable for marriage"

As a result, with excessive force, the faucet was suddenly yanked open by him, and water sprayed out with a "whoosh".

"Bodyguard?" Tang Mitian blinked her dark eyes and then said, "Wen Jiyan, you wouldn't be thinking of looking for a bodyguard job, would you?"

Wen Jiyan cautiously glanced at Tang Mitian, his mind racing through various thoughts.

After taking a shower and getting ready, Wen Jiyan walked out of the bathroom looking radiant, while Tang Mitian was politely seeing off the property manager and the maintenance worker at the door, saying, "Thank you so much for today, goodbye"

Tang Mitian's fingers quickly typed on the phone screen: "It's fine, you go ahead and be busy." After sending the message, she unconsciously let out a sigh of relief. Thinking about how Wen Jiyan said in the morning that he would bring her along as a third wheel, Tang Mitian no longer had any expectations for tonight's date. ... Of course, she didn't have many expectations to begin with; she just wanted a bit more time to interact with Mi Xiuyang to distract herself from her feelings for Wen Jiyan ...

Whatever! Tang Mi Tian really has no mood to eat anything

Wen Jiyan caught a glimpse of Tang Mitian, who was slightly frowning and looking at him without any decorum. He hurriedly placed his legs, which were resting on the sofa, down, straightened his posture, pouted, and pointed at the television, saying, "Am I not watching it right now!"

"Hey! What's so funny about this?" Wen Jiyan asked, looking at Tang Mitian with dissatisfaction

This kiss instantly became lingering and passionate, deepening with each moment.

"Can't you do it?" Tang Mi Tian blinked her dark, glistening eyes and asked as a matter of course. In her view, men should generally handle incidents such as power outages, clogged drains, and leaking ceilings.

What?" Chen Jinyan was taken aback, "Wen Jiyan, say that again!"

I think it would be simpler to directly use a hose to wash and wrap the hose with a towel to plug it into the drain, utilizing the pressure of the tap water to clear the blockage. Chen Jinyan offered this suggestion candidly and curiously asked, "Ji Yan, what are you doing? Are you trying to flirt with someone?"

"It's nothing, I'll go mop the floor, and you take out the trash!" Tang Mi sweetly assigned the tasks, then grabbed a mop from the bathroom and plunged into the kitchen to get busy. After this commotion, she probably had no intention of cooking for Wen Jiyan, and since Wen Jiyan was not picky about food, he followed her into the kitchen to make instant noodles for himself.

"Damn it, get to the point!" Wen Jiyan shouted impatiently once again

Ah! As the faucet burst, Wen Jiyan exclaimed in panic, quickly stripping off his clothes and pressing against the gushing faucet, shouting, "Tiantian, something's wrong, come help me!"

"Alright, since you don't mind, I'll go with you tonight," Wen Jiyan said loudly, deliberately looking at Tang Mitian's troubled expression. With a wave of his hand and a broad smile, he added, "... Sweetie, see you tonight!" He stepped on the gas and sped away.

My ancestors have been honest citizens for eighteen generations, so I am not afraid of Auntie's inquiries. Wen Jiyan smiled brightly, looking at Tang Mitian's rosy cheeks from running, and couldn't help but be slightly distracted.

I won't..." Wen Jiyan was about to say that he wouldn't, but seeing Tang Mitian looking at him with such hope, he couldn't help but brace himself and say: "Of course I can!"

"Your ancestors for eighteen generations have been law-abiding citizens," Tang Mitian glanced at Wen Jiyan and said with a serious expression, "However, if my mother finds out that you are living together with me, she will definitely kill you!" After a pause, she added, "Even if you are a law-abiding citizen, she would still kill you!"

Hmm? Seeing Tang Mi Tian and Wen Ji Yan exchanging ambiguous glances, Tang Mama couldn't help but speculate about their relationship, feeling an increasing urgency to know what Wen Ji Yan does: "Wen Ji Yan, I am asking you, what do you do?"

Ah! Auntie was a bit taken aback, and then smiled and congratulated, "Now you can rest assured, Tiantian, you are in high demand!"

Tang Mi's heart skipped a beat, her fingers nervously fidgeting, biting her lip, as she quietly glanced at Wen Jiyan

Chen Jinyan, what is your situation? Are you deaf or has your mind gone blank? I ask you, can you fix the drainage?" Wen Jiyan impatiently growled, "The drainage at home is clogged, what should we do?"

I can't just find something for you to eat!" Wen Jiyan said helplessly, shrugging his shoulders. As he started the car, he said seriously, "Tiantian, just casually say what you want to eat."

"Tian Tian, is everything fixed?" Wen Jiyan asked casually as he watched Tang Mitian close the door

It must be said, it feels quite comfortable, so Tang Mitian originally intended to refuse but swallowed her words back. ... She closed her eyes, enjoying the way Wen Jiyan helped her from her hands to her wrists, shoulders, and neck, skillfully kneading, tapping, and massaging along the way

"Hey, don't run so fast... I haven't finished speaking yet!" Mother Tang called out in dissatisfaction to Tang Mitian's retreating figure. As she watched them disappear from sight, she awkwardly muttered to herself, "Mishuyang is not bad, and this Wen Jiyan is quite good too!"

Tang Mitian truly did not know how to refuse Wen Jiyan

Mom, let me think it over!" Tang Mitian took a deep breath and impatiently interrupted Tang Mama. At this moment, her mind was as tangled as a twisted dough, and she had no idea how to think!

"Hehe, you are really impressive!" Tang Mitian tugged at the corner of her mouth, smiling awkwardly as she looked at Wen Jiyan, who was drenched. "How about I help you find a towel to dry off?" Without waiting for Wen Jiyan to respond, she hurriedly walked to the bathroom and grabbed a pink KITTY towel for him.

"Didn’t you make a date with him for tonight?" Wen Jiyan did not have time to respond to Tang Mitian, and instead asked again, "Why hasn’t Mi Xiuyang come?" Could it be that Tang Mitian told him that she would bring along Wen Jiyan, this super third wheel, and Mi Xiuyang changed his mind at the last minute to avoid coming? Wen Jiyan secretly speculated in his heart and then voiced this speculation to Tang Mitian for confirmation, "Tiantian, tell me, is it that you told Mi Xiuyang to bring me along as a third wheel, and that’s why he’s unwilling to come?"

Oh, is that so? Tang Mitian simply made a polite remark and did not show much interest

No, not at all! Although Tang Mi Tian was puzzled, she still answered Wen Ji Yan in a very formal manner, "Mi Xiu Yang has no idea that you are going to be a third wheel tonight; he had something urgent come up, which is why he couldn't make it!"

Sweetie, good morning! As soon as Gu Yiyi entered the crew, she greeted her with a beaming smile, "Is it again Wen Jiyan who brought you to work?"

"It's fine, don't throw it away, it's edible!" Wen Jiyan hurriedly stopped Tang Mitian from discarding the burnt fried egg, tossing it onto the instant noodles. "Look, it’s only a little burnt, it’s still good to eat."

What happened?" Chen Jinyan's sharp eyebrows slightly furrowed: "Ji Yan, you wouldn't have spent all your money and need me to send you some again, would you?" This guy, even while fleeing, still doesn't know how to be a bit more restrained. In just one month, over 400,000 has been spent. What a waste!

"Oh, good!" The stunned Tang Mitian hurriedly called the property management, then returned to the kitchen. Seeing Wen Jiyan sneezing uncontrollably, she couldn't help but take a sharp breath. "Wen Jiyan, are you coming down with a cold?" Although the day wasn't particularly cold, being sprayed with so much tap water made it easy to catch a chill.

Mother Tang remained silent, her face cold, as she quickly approached, her sharp gaze scanning Wen Jiyan up and down

Tang Mi Tian glanced at Wen Ji Yan, then looked at the box of instant noodles, feeling a bit reluctant. She quickly walked to the refrigerator and took out two eggs: "I will make you two fried eggs to put in the noodles instead!"

"If it exists, then so be it. What exactly do you want?" Tang Mitian said impatiently, her dark eyes wide open, staring directly at Wen Jiyan, displaying an attitude of being ready to take any risk.

"You don't need to be so agitated; if you don't like it, then you don't like it." Tang Mitian calmly opened the car door, observing the momentary exasperation on Wen Jiyan's face, as if he had been poked at a sensitive issue, filled with indignation... Thus, the feeling of disappointment within her began to spread even more...

"Tiantian, Mixuyang is a good child, you must seize the opportunity!" Mother Tang advised with concern, "Sometimes, you can be a little more proactive, don't be too pretentious!"

"Why are you talking to yourself?" The aunt who came out of the bathroom couldn't help but ask curiously upon seeing Tang's mother with a radiant smile that seemed unable to close.

Damn it, bastard!" Wen Jiyan couldn't help but curse, and immediately offered a smile to Tang Mitian: "Mitian, did you see that? This guy, Mi Xiuyang, is untrustworthy and unreliable!" He kept cursing Mi Xiuyang in his heart, as he had prepared to be the third wheel and disrupt things tonight, but this rival didn't show up. All his perfect plans for sabotage ended up in vain!

My mother passed away two years ago!" Wen Jiyan tried hard to force a light smile, but it still felt very sad. "She loved the sea very much, but my father never had the time to take her for a walk by the seaside, to feel the sea breeze..."

Wen Jiyan could only nod slightly

I don't like it!" Wen Jiyan answered without hesitation

Why not strangle you

"No, no, no," Wen Jiyan hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, saying with utmost seriousness, "I am not looking for a bodyguard job; rather, I am already prepared to be a bodyguard!"

"Wait a moment, let me consult Baidu!" Chen Jinyan hurriedly opened the computer and typed: What to do if the kitchen drain is clogged. After a short while, the answer appeared, and he began to read it earnestly: "The kitchen drain is prone to clogging due to grease buildup. Regularly flushing it with hot water can help dissolve the grease, which is both economical and convenient. However, sometimes the pipes may not be smooth (especially cast iron pipes), and if hair or other debris falls in, it will require separate handling..." He earnestly began to read: "The kitchen drain is prone to clogging due to grease buildup. Regularly flushing it with hot water can help dissolve the grease, which is both economical and convenient. However, sometimes the pipes may not be smooth (especially cast iron pipes), and if hair or other debris falls in, it will require separate handling..."

"Oh, good!" Tang Mitian obediently turned and entered the bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, her delicate face involuntarily flushed slightly. She splashed some water on her face and murmured to herself, "Tang Mitian, what are you doing? Have you been eating Sudan Red lately? You blush so easily, it's really pathetic!"

"Tian Tian, you aren't angry with me, are you?" Wen Jiyan observed that Tang Mitian's expression was somewhat off, and hurriedly asked with caution, waving his hand in front of the distracted Tang Mitian's eyes.

What should we do? Tang Mitian glanced awkwardly at the bath towel in her hand, then looked at Wen Jiyan, whose hair was dripping wet. This way of getting soaked is truly not a solution

"Repair the sewer?" Chen Jinyan repeated in disbelief.

Aunt, I am an advertising model!" Wen Jiyan's mind was racing, and a brilliant smile spread across his handsome face

Mother Tang excitedly pulled Auntie and said, "Don't look anymore, she has run away!" After calming herself, she continued, "Recently, she has really blossomed..." Lowering her voice, she gestured with two fingers towards Auntie, saying, "Two flowers, and both are particularly beautiful!"

"Hmm, yes!" Wen Jiyan said with a bright smile.

The more she listened, the wider Tang Mitian's eyes grew. "Wen Jiyan, the way you say it makes you sound omnipotent!"

Tang Mi's lips twitched slightly, "I understand, Mom!"

"Because my father arranged for me to marry a girl I don't know." Wen Jiyan simply replied, "I just want to struggle to live a slightly different life, even if it's very short, it doesn't matter!"

Ah! Tang Mi was left dumbfounded as she watched Wen Jiyan quickly drive out of her sight

"Alright, since you helped me with the massage, I will make you dinner, just wait!" Tang Mi Tian said, hurriedly covering her slightly flushed cheeks, and quickly slipped into the kitchen. She patted her chest and reassured herself, "Calm down, calm down!"

Tang Mi Tian was completely stunned, her dark eyes wide open as she watched Wen Ji Yan gently and attentively wipe her mouth. Only then did she reveal a bright smile, showing her white teeth, and said, "Alright, Tian Tian, if you keep daydreaming, you'll be late for work!"

Sigh, don't mention him, just talking about it makes me irritated!" Tang Mitian couldn't help but sigh.

Hmm! Wen Jiyan smiled gently and said, "You have been tired all day, don't rush, let me do the mopping!" As she spoke, she snatched the mop from Tang Mitian's hands and diligently began to mop the floor.

"Tian Tian, I truly envy you!" Gu Yi Yi finished packing her makeup bag, leaned against Tang Mi Tian, and pointed her mouth towards the entrance of Binhai Park, "Look at you, you don’t even have to drive, yet every day there are different handsome guys coming to pick you up. You are simply bubbling with happiness!"

Tang Mitian held the phone in silence for a while, unsure of what to say to Tang Mama. Mi Xiuyang had come to explain, and given Tang Mama's fiery personality, he must have endured quite a bit of sharp words and hardship. Yet, he did not mention a single word about it, which stirred a slight ripple in Tang Mitian's heart. Her feelings towards Wen Jiyan had not yet had the chance to deepen, and it seemed they had been suppressed by his disinterest in her, leaving her in silence. Could Mi Xiuyang be another hope for her? Could this gentle feeling be elevated into something more profound, and then develop into love?

"Hey, yesterday was just an accident!" Wen Jiyan looked at Tang Mitian, whose eyes were filled with laughter, with a slightly embarrassed expression, and couldn't help but retort, "You messed up making fried eggs yesterday and burned them, so if I occasionally have a plumbing issue and the faucet bursts, it's not a big deal, right!"

Your friend?" Tang Mitian opened her dark eyes and asked tentatively

"Sweetie, don't worry, I will be your bodyguard for free, no charge!" Wen Jiyan quickly interrupted Tang Mitian before she could speak, and then said seriously, "Not only will I be your bodyguard, but I will also work part-time as your driver, nanny, serve tea and water, do laundry and cooking, and even provide massages and acupressure!"

"We shouldn't let her know that we are living together as roommates; this is quite easy to conceal!" Wen Jiyan thought seriously for a moment and said, "But, in fact, I am indeed a man!" Wen Jiyan said innocently, "This cannot be hidden, can it!"

Ah? Wen Jiyan was taken aback, quickly leaping up from the sofa, sitting next to Tang Mitian, looking down at her delicate face that could not hide her fatigue. She hurriedly pulled her and pressed her down onto the sofa, "Come, let me give you a massage!"

Although Wen Jiyan does not like her, if she chooses to be with Mi Xiuyang in the future to cultivate their feelings, then while there is still an opportunity, the two of them should enjoy their world together!

Are you really okay?" Wen Jiyan asked with concern

"Then how many advertisements do you shoot in a year?" Mother Tang asked tentatively, actually wanting to assess Wen Jiyan's financial situation. At this moment, she was scrutinizing Wen Jiyan with the kind of gaze a mother-in-law uses to evaluate her son-in-law.

I said, "Tian Tian, don't keep calling him GAY. I really don't think Wen Jiyan looks like a GAY!" Gu Yiyi looked at Tang Mitian and added, "Moreover, even if he really is GAY, I think he is the type that takes the initiative!" After saying this, she paused for a moment and continued, "This type is definitely much better than being a perpetual receiver; at least he could be bisexual..."

"Tian Tian, what are you doing?" Wen Jiyan, having been pulled along by Tang Mitian for quite a distance, turned around and saw no sign of Tang's mother. Only then did she bend down, place her hands on her hips, and breathe heavily, unable to help but ask in confusion.

How do I test this? I went out on a date with Mi Xiuyang, and he was still laughing and chatting on the phone with his partner!" Tang Mi frowned and said, "I can't just ask him directly in front of him, 'Hey, Wen Jiyan, do you like me or not?'"

"I am sorry, I did not mean to." Tang Mitian looked at Wen Jiyan with an apologetic expression, "I did not know..." Accidentally touching on Wen Jiyan's sorrowful spot, seeing him so upset, Tang Mitian felt somewhat at a loss. The innate maternal instinct of a girl made her open her arms without hesitation, embracing Wen Jiyan to comfort him, "Don't be sad, once I adjust my leave in the next few days, I will accompany you to see the sea..."

Your theory is simply nonsensical!" Tang Mitian glared at Wen Jiyan in silence and said in a huff, "I treat you well, but I don't expect you to like me!" Someone like Wen Jiyan, who is treated so well by others, actually says he doesn't like them, which shows just how heartless he is!

This is rather unstable! Wen Jiyan replied with an unnatural expression, as he was merely making things up to appease Tang Mama. He wondered how he could have so much time to spend with Tang Mitian, yet he did not anticipate that Tang Mama's thoughts were far more profound and extensive than he had expected.

Wen Jiyan was drenched all over from the water spray. He pressed the faucet hard and said to Tang Mitian, "Hurry up and call the property management!"

"Are you unsure about what kind of man you like?" Tang Mitian tilted her head, looking at Wen Jiyan, "You don't even like your boyfriend?" Hearing them on the phone with those ambiguous terms of endearment, such as 'dear', made Tang Mitian blush deeply.

Tang Mi Tian looked at the snow-white car and the cool pose struck by Wen Ji Yan, her lips twitching slightly as she shyly smiled at Gu Yi Yi: "Don't start with that, you look down on such a chauffeur. Otherwise, with your charm as Miss Cao, the chauffeurs willing to pick you up could line up from the head of Binhai Park to the tail of Binhai Park!"

Tang Mi Tian nodded and said, "Hmm, I trust you. I will go take a shower first. If you need anything, just call out!"

"Are you deceiving me?" Upon hearing this, Tang Mitian's expression, which was originally one of anger and shame, instantly transformed into one of exasperation. She pointed at him with her hand, her face filled with indignation, "Wen Jiyan, you have been deceiving me from the very beginning. What do you take me for?"

Mom, what are you doing here?" Tang Mitian looked at her cousin Wen Jiyan, successfully deceiving Tang's mother, and couldn't help but feel a slight sense of relief in her heart. With a smile on her face, she obediently looked at her and asked.

"Oh, don't say anymore!" Tang Mitian waved her hand irritably and gasped, "If my mom keeps asking, all the matters of your ancestors for eighteen generations will be dug up..."

Tang Mi's lips twitched slightly, and she could no longer remain calm. She tugged at her mother's sleeve and said helplessly, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"I won't listen, get lost!" Tang Mi Tian kicked Wen Ji Yan fiercely and turned to run away. In that instant, her world was once again thrown into chaos. Wen Ji Yan was not gay; he had been a normal man from the very beginning. And she, like a fool, had been played around by him. Tang Mi Tian felt such hatred in her heart that she truly wanted to strangle him!

"I hate it, I won't talk to you anymore!" Tang Mitian, with a hint of shyness, covered her pretty face and quickly walked towards Wen Jiyan, holding her packed makeup bag. Of course, seeing Tang Mitian approaching, Wen Jiyan hurriedly walked over with concern and took the heavy makeup bag from her hand. Once they returned to the front of the car, he turned his serious face towards Tang Mitian and asked, "Tiantian, why hasn't Mi Xiuyang arrived yet?"

"After strangling you, I will strangle myself as well." Tang Mitian thought of her mother, and she couldn't help but shiver all over, "If my mother finds out, she will definitely strangle both of us together"

"Hmm, I'm fine!" Tang Mitian replied without hesitation, clearly not wanting to say much more to Wen Jiyan

"Feel free to ask, what do his parents do?" Tang Mitian exclaimed with dissatisfaction, "You just wanted me to get along well with Mi Xiuyang, and now you're targeting Wen Jiyan again. What do you want to do?" As a daughter, Tang Mitian certainly understood her mother's intentions; her mother must be scrutinizing Wen Jiyan as a potential son-in-law!

Tang Mitian's sweet black eyes rolled around twice, still hesitant, allowing Wen Jiyan's kiss to deepen gradually along her lips and teeth with a domineering yet gentle touch. They entangled in mutual nibbles and playful frolics, while his hands slowly roamed and caressed her back, embracing her soft waist tightly.

"Are you an advertising model?" Tang Mama's voice revealed no discernible emotion, "You do look quite good!" Immediately after, she smiled and looked at Wen Jiyan, asking, "Is your income stable?"

"Are you looking for Mi Xiuyang?" Tang Mitian asked in confusion as she looked at Wen Jiyan, and then an inexplicable thought came to her mind. Wen Jiyan might want to be her third wheel with Mi Xiuyang. Could it be that he has developed feelings for Mi Xiuyang during their interactions and is now trying to pursue Mi Xiuyang under the guise of being interested in her?

"Tian Tian, do you think I look handsome like this?" Wen Jiyan took off his large sunglasses, blinked his deep black eyes at Tang Mitian, and with a charming smile at the corner of his mouth, asked, "Do I look like a bodyguard?"

"Alright, alright, if you don't like it, then you don't like it! I never liked it anyway!" Wen Jiyan watched as Tang Mitian pouted angrily, and hurriedly sought to make peace, clumsily trying to appease her according to her mood. Ever since their last cold war, he no longer dared to challenge Tang Mitian, for he was afraid of making her angry again

Tang Mi's sweet and beautiful starry eyes widened in an instant, and at that moment, everything came to a halt in thought. She did not know whether to resist or to yield to Wen Jiyan's kiss, whether to open her arms to embrace him or to pretentiously push him away

I have a crush on him? Are you kidding me!" Wen Jiyan exclaimed excitedly, "Tiantian, you aren't joking with me, are you?"

Tang Mi's body stiffened for a moment, and she swallowed hard before speaking. Looking at Wen Jiyan's handsome face, she noticed that his nose was less than three centimeters away from hers. She could even clearly feel the warm breath he exhaled on her sensitive nose, so warm, so humid

In the moment when Tang Mitian embraced him, Wen Jiyan's body stiffened for a moment. He did not intend to evoke sympathy from Tang Mitian by mentioning his mother, but inadvertently, he had done so. He was not a person who would hesitate; instead, he quickly climbed up the pole and gently held Tang Mitian's soft body in his arms: "Tiantian, this is what you promised me, no backing out!"

When the burnt smell sharply hit her nostrils, Tang Mitian finally came to her senses, hurriedly turned off the heat, and looked at the charred fried egg, apologetically saying to Wen Jiyan: "I am sorry, I am too tired today and did not perform well"

Kitchen! Wen Jiyan replied impatiently, a whiff of a strange smell lingering at the tip of his nose

"It's fine, there's still time. You should have some breakfast before you leave!" Wen Jiyan said as he pushed Tang Mitian towards the dining table, picking up a cup of milk. "Drink this, it's hot!"

Tang Mi Tian pouted her lips in frustration and said, "You see, if he were a normal man, I could shamelessly ask, 'Do you like me?' But unfortunately..." Tang Mi Tian pouted again, "If I were to ask a GAY, 'Do you like me?' and he said no, I might as well just throw myself against a block of tofu and die!" Liking a GAY is already abnormal, and if the final outcome is that this GAY does not like her, and it turns out to be her one-sided affection, then forget about saving face; she would lose all dignity to the point of being unrecognizable.

No! Tang Mi Tian insisted, responding with unwavering determination

However, upon hearing these words, Tang Mitian's charming face instantly turned pale, and she bit her lip hard, remaining silent for a long while... The sense of loss in her heart spread intensely throughout her body, as if it were something she had anticipated, yet it was also something she found difficult to accept...

How is your family situation? What does your father do, and what does your mother do?" Tang's mother continued to inquire about Wen Jiyan's family circumstances without revealing any emotion.

Ah! Now it was Tang Mitian's turn to be dumbfounded, as she stared blankly at Wen Jiyan, who was seriously holding her hand and gently kneading it with just the right amount of pressure

You ... ...

Is that so? Tang Mi Tian covered her flushed cheeks, and before Wen Ji Yan could respond, she heard the sound of his stomach growling. She couldn't help but slightly furrow her delicate brows, asking, "Are you hungry?"

I did not deceive you!" When Wen Jiyan saw that Tang Mitian was truly angry, he quickly retracted his gloomy seriousness and said in a fawning manner, "Tian Tian, please let me explain!"

"Tian Tian, Tian Tian..." It was evident that Tang Mi Tian's expression was unusual. Wen Ji Yan called out with some concern, "Are you alright?"

Where is the sewer?

Everyone loves to hear flattery. When Tang Mama was praised, especially by such a handsome young man, she felt a bit of joy in her heart. Listening to Wen Jiyan's words, she took a serious look at him and then spoke lightly: "You are Wen Yanyan's cousin, aren't you? No wonder you share some similarities in your expressions and features with her!"

Wen Jiyan truly wished he could give his own stomach a good beating, as he was hungry at the most inopportune moment. The atmosphere just now was so suitable for a confession! However, with this interruption, he looked at Tang Mitian, who was rushing to the kitchen to prepare food for him, with a hint of helplessness.

Um, can I come to pick you up after work tonight?" Wen Jiyan asked tentatively

However, Wen Jiyan remained serious; he suddenly stretched out his long arm and naturally wrapped Tang Mitian in his embrace. His warm breath, carrying a hint of heaviness, sprayed onto her sensitive nose.

Ah? Tang Mi Tian blinked her dark eyes in confusion, still unable to comprehend how to prove what Wen Ji Yan had mentioned, but his lips had already pressed against hers

"Tian Tian, since you understand what your mother is saying, then you should seriously consider dating Mi Xiu Yang!" Mother Tang remarked, expressing her feelings, "If you can't even appreciate such a good boy like Mi Xiu Yang, I really don't know what kind of man would catch your eye! Tian Tian, one must be a bit more realistic in life, and one's standards should not stray too far from reality!"

Could you help me wipe?" Wen Jiyan glanced at the towel in Tang Mitian's hand, naturally stretching his neck, waiting for her to start wiping from his head.

"However, I feel that you still do not believe me, you are just being perfunctory with me." Wen Jiyan fixed his gaze on Tang Mitian seriously, "You say with your mouth that you believe I am a man, but your expression still shows that you do not believe I am a man!"

"Ah? When did you find a job?" Tang Mitian furrowed her delicate brows, looking at Wen Jiyan, "Whose bodyguard are you? Is it dangerous?"

"Oh, good!" Tang Mitian felt as if her mind was a beat behind, only able to foolishly follow Wen Jiyan's instructions. She dashed to the entrance to put on her shoes, and after changing her shoes, she grabbed her bag and was the first to leave the house, taking a deep breath. She could only feel her heart starting to beat irregularly again, her mind filled with the image of Wen Jiyan wiping her mouth just now. What exactly did that mean?
