"An An, maybe you shouldn't call her Aunt Wan."
Tian An looked at Zhao Yiming in a daze, "What should I call it then?"
Zhao Yiming didn't say it directly, but reminded her: "An An, think about it carefully. Apart from twin sisters, what other relatives can look so similar that people can mistake them for each other."
In a flash, Tian An suddenly understood what he meant, "You mean Aunt Wan and I might be mother and daughter!"
Zhao Yiming looked at her seriously and nodded, "Given the An family's current attitude towards you, it's very likely."
Tian An immediately thought of everything that had happened before, the look in Madam An and Duke An's eyes when they first met her, and the fact that the An family adopted her as their goddaughter. During the conversation, she always subconsciously brought the topic back to her family's past.
There is also the matter of An Wan going missing, her mother hiding her name, and there is no news about her mother's family.
If her mother is really An Wan, then everything makes sense.
Tian An and Zhao Yiming didn't know what the An family was planning, and Tian An wanted to confirm the matter again, so a paternity test would be best.
After discussing it, the two of them did not make it public. They planned to wait until the first day of the new year when they went to the An Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to get the DNA of the An family members, and make plans after the test.
......
Tian An had a lot of business to do, and it took him until the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month just to look at the account books and do the accounts.
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, Tian An invited Gu Jinyan, Qin Yalan, Wei Lingran, Song Zhiyun, Zuo Yunshu, and Peng Zhang, his partners, as well as all the store managers and employees, to a reunion dinner at a hot pot restaurant.
We have given certain rewards to each person based on their contribution, and have also prepared a number of prizes for everyone to draw in order to motivate everyone and ensure a better year ahead.
After the reunion dinner, all shops will officially close and will not reopen until the eighth day of the first lunar month of the following year.
On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Tian An and Zhao Yiming brought Xiaokang and Xiaoqi to personally paste Spring Festival couplets and window decorations on the doors and windows of every courtyard in the mansion.
Xiaokang and Xiaoqi wrote all the Spring Festival couplets. After a year of practice, their handwriting had improved immensely, far surpassing the unevenly sized ink dots in their yard last year. Each couplet was unique, and Tian An, reading as he pasted them, became captivated by the artistic conception of the words.
Grandma Qin and Madam Xiao accompanied Tian An in cutting the spring flowers. Grandma Qin said that she might not be able to cut spring flowers with Tian An in the future, so she taught Tian An all her unique skills.
During dinner, Zhao Yiming went to burn incense for his parents. Tian An couldn't follow him, so he prepared the offerings himself and also covered for him.
Tian An pretended to take a rest, and after sending Xiang Tao and Deng Xue away, he slipped into the space, tidying up the land in the space while waiting for Zhao Yiming to come back.
There were no seasons in this space; once crops were ripe, they could be harvested and then replanted. Tian An had recently been researching purple yam; if he could successfully plant them in the space, he could find suitable land to plant them around Qingming Festival next year.
It was around three quarters past midnight when Tian An, with his sharp ears, heard a noise coming from the window.
Thinking that Zhao Yiming had returned, he left the space.
When she entered the space, she was lying on the bed, and when she came out, she would just land on the bed.
Zhao Yiming came back feeling cold. When he walked to the bedside and saw that there was no one on the bed, he thought Tian An had gone to the bathroom. However, he did not expect Tian An to suddenly appear in front of him out of thin air.
Zhao Yiming was fine, as he only took half a step back reflexively with one foot, but Tian An himself was startled.
He accidentally stepped on empty air and fell towards Zhao Yiming.
Zhao Yiming paused for a second, then reacted and quickly reached out to catch her.
Then, he was knocked backwards by Tian An and almost became her human cushion.
Fortunately, at the last moment, he quickly took a big step back with his right foot and stabilized both of them in time.
Tian An put his hands on Zhao Yiming's chest and climbed on top of him. The two of them were at a 45-degree angle to the ground, supported entirely by Zhao Yiming's leg.
Suddenly, Zhao Yiming put one arm around Tian An's waist, protected the back of her head with the other hand, and exerted force with his right foot.
The two immediately switched positions, and Tian An lay on his back on the bed behind him, becoming Zhao Yiming's human cushion.
Zhao Yiming protected her head and supported himself on the bed with one hand, so she was not hurt.
But the posture of the two of them at this moment is inevitably a little...
Tian An put her hands between them and felt Zhao Yiming's heart beating very fast. She secretly raised her eyes to look at him, only to find that his eyes were a little blurry. He just looked at her straight with indescribable emotions in his eyes.
The two were so close that Tian An's earlobe could not only feel the hot water exhaled from Zhao Yiming's mouth, but he could also clearly hear his somewhat heavy breathing, which made Tian An's heart beat faster.
She is not really a child. Although she has never been in love in her previous life, she has seen pigs run even if she has never eaten pork!
She understood the feelings in Zhao Yiming's eyes, but mental age is one thing and physical age is another. She didn't know whether she should respond to him at this moment. Her mind was blank and her cheeks felt hot.
Zhao Yiming looked at Tian An's attractive rosy cheeks and her shy eyes that didn't dare to look at him, and his eyes became even more hot.
Unable to resist the temptation, his head gradually moved down, and just as his thin lips were about to touch Tian An's small, rosy, cherry-like lips.
There was a sudden noise outside the glass window, followed by a cat's meow.
Zhao Yiming paused, and Tian An's heart suddenly started beating like a drum, as if he had been caught doing something bad, and he felt inexplicably guilty.
Tian An didn't dare to look at Zhao Yiming's face, but she intuitively felt that his handsome face must be as black as ink at this moment.
