All the goddesses in the world are lusting after my body.

"You think I'm just playing around?"

"How could that be..."

The perception was incredibly fast, as if the two were telepathically connected. Jiang Tang's expression changed slightly.

"But now that we're officially starting our life together, I'd really like to ask... Peining, what kind of relationship do we have?"

"After all, it's not up to me to decide our relationship."

"And the previous relationship only became valid with your approval."

Jiang Tang has now shifted the blame onto Jiang Peining.

Her answer will determine Jiang Tang's position and persona alongside Jiang Peining in this large-scale "playing house" game.

If we're friends, then we'll treat each other as friends.

If he's your boyfriend, then treat him like a boyfriend.

As for his fiancé... well, someone more than a boyfriend but less than a husband, then Jiang Tang can be a bit more unrestrained!

My relationship with Jiang Tang in our future life together...

Jiang Peining had never thought of that.

Because in her heart, Jiang Tang is of course...

But how could Jiang Peining possibly say something like that?

In fact, her face flushed slightly, but the blush quickly disappeared.

The girl has a knack for controlling her emotions.

There are probably very few people in this world who can make Jiang Peining's emotions and expressions fluctuate so much.

Jiang Tang is undoubtedly one of them.

She leaned back on the sofa, squinted her eyes, and pretended to be relaxing.

At the same time.

"What do you consider our relationship?"

The ball has been kicked back to Jiang Tang's side.

"How about it, my crush? I can play a cool, aloof college student, and you can be my little fangirl..."

Seeing Jiang Peining's face turn icy cold instantly, and feeling the chilling atmosphere around them.

Jiang Tang then stopped joking with a light cough, but he still maintained his principles.

"Then let's have a boyfriend. Don't tell me you're going to kidnap me and not even give me a title."

"A title? We'll talk about that after you perform well."

"So I've been performing poorly lately?"

Jiang Tang countered with a question.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Peining couldn't help but recall those two nights Jiang Tang spent in the hotel bathroom.

And those scenes.

"...They did perform quite well."

The girl murmured to herself.

Whether it's length, shape, duration, or...

By the time she realized what had happened, Jiang Peining was already blushing to the point of being rude and embarrassed.

But she quickly concealed it, barely letting Jiang Tang notice anything amiss.

Jiang Peining immediately stood up, looking annoyed that someone had suddenly offended her, and strode angrily into the bedroom.

The words faded as her figure disappeared into the distance.

"I'm not here for you to negotiate with me. You should reflect on your own actions!"

"The life I want to live is indeed somewhat similar to the life of 'you and Shixue'."

"I admit that."

"So... from now on, I'm the young lady, and you'll be my personal male servant!"

No wonder there's a saying that a young girl's mood is like the weather—unpredictable.

Jiang Tang remained in the living room, Jiang Peining's voice echoing in his mind, his expression one of utter disbelief.

After a long while, he finally recovered and murmured with a wry smile.

"Similar to me and Shixue..."

"Shouldn't I be the master and you be the maid...?"

But clearly, these words must never be mentioned in front of Jiang Peining.

Jiang Tang is truly a man who can bend and stretch!

348 Life needs management

Jiang Peining was actually quite unaccustomed to suddenly living the life of an ordinary person.

She had already handed over all her work before coming to this house, and apart from particularly important decisions, no one in the family should dare to disturb her for a long time to come.

She can finally take a long and comfortable vacation.

That was originally what I was thinking.

Back in her bedroom, Jiang Peining tried lying on a blanket that wasn't very soft and even looked cheap for the first time, breathing in the bland air around her.

Her first feeling was one of emptiness and boredom.

It was completely different from the harmonious atmosphere between Shi Xue and Jiang Tang that she had imagined.

The surrounding furnishings were also pitifully ordinary.

Although it was designed based on Jiang Tang and Shi Xue's master bedroom.

But it still didn't feel like the home she longed for.

There's nothing worth putting in any special effort.

Expectations were dashed.

Fantasy fades into reality.

So where exactly is the problem?

The girl hugged a pillow, thinking as she squinted her eyes, and before she knew it, she was feeling sleepy.

This came from Jiang Peining's last crazy thought before she fell asleep.

It almost completely dispelled her sleepiness.

However, Jiang Peining still couldn't escape the dream.

And that thought was—"Could it be that I have to become Jiang Tang's maid to enjoy the same warm and cozy daily life as Shi Xue?!"

………………

By the time Jiang Peining was almost awake, it was already evening.

Jiang Peining was shocked to realize that she had slept for so long!

Have I really been this overworked and exhausted lately?

Secondly, she didn't even bother to wear slippers, just haphazardly put one on, leaving her other bare foot on the cold floor, which quickly turned slightly red.

She left the bedroom and ran into the living room.

She wanted to find Jiang Tang.

She was worried he'd run away! She wanted to confirm his existence!

If that situation really happens...

Jiang Peining felt a lump in her throat.

Deep down, she is a very sentimental person.

She would never show it in normal circumstances, nor would she deliberately try to.

Of course, those who could be associated with Jiang Peining were not from her family.

In today's world, there's probably only one like Jiang Tang.

Shi Xue might count as half, since she had always followed Jiang Tang as a little maid and had gotten to know Jiang Peining by showing her face.

It is precisely because of her deep emotions that Jiang Peining absolutely cannot tolerate the betrayal of those she cares about.

But it was as if fate had other plans.

When she rushed to the living room, that "what if"... still happened.

The living room and dining room were empty.

There was no trace of anyone, not even a hint of anything related to Jiang Tang.

He left, his whereabouts unknown, like a bubble gradually becoming transparent and bursting under the sunlight, or a breeze that cannot be caught.

Jiang Peining's heart suddenly felt as if it had been emptied.

From childhood to adulthood, people have doubted whether she can cry.

If it weren't for the fact that no one dared to provoke her, most people would probably call her a "cold-blooded monster, a person born without tear ducts."

But at that moment, Jiang Peining's eyes quickly welled up with a cherry blossom-like pink, as if her tear ducts had been suddenly activated.

If it weren't for her strong sense of self-respect, she would have shed tears long ago.

Even if you manage to hold back, how long can you hold back?

A cold flame ignited in the girl's sorrowful eyes.

It was as if something non-flammable had been set ablaze, and Jiang Tang's figure, voice, and smile flickered in the firelight.
