Convincing her

What does he mean by suggesting a 100 days trial with him?

"Yes. Let's date for 100 days and see if things will work out for us. We have nothing to lose and besides, this is just a trial. At the end of the trial period, if things won't go well between us then we can go back in our own lives. I won't bother you and you won't bother me. But if things went well between us at the end of the trial period, then we can continue on dating, right? By that time, it will be for real."

Nian Jiezhen didn't know whether or not to accept his offer. She was not the type of person who would do such things. Being in a relationship wouldn't work well for her since she knew that by the time she goes back to work, she wouldn't have much time to give him.

"I know that you still love Lu Yifeng. I'm the same, I still have feelings for Xiao Mei... Let's just say that, this is one way of distracting ourselves from them. We share each other's pain, we are the only ones that can understand each other... I'll be here for you and you'll be here for me." He caressed her cheek with his thumb.

"I can just distract myself with my work," said Nian Jiezhen, she was still a bit of hesitant of his offer. She was not interested in being in a relationship and she was not desperate to be in one so why would she take his offer?

"Where's the fun to that? We don't have anything to lose, we are just trying it out with each other. And besides, I am helping you, from the looks of it, I can say that you are a beginner in this kind of relationship."

She huffed, "So what if I'm a beginner at it? No, I'm not going to try this 100 days dating you."

"How about your parents?"

At the mention of her parents, Nian Jiezhen's lips were stretched into a thin line. Her parents were already looking for a man for her. Sooner or later, the day of her arranged marriage would come. She didn't want to be married, neither did she want to start a family that's why she needed something to push them away and make them give up on her.

Nian Jiezhen bit her lower lip, his offer was so tempting. If that was what he was offering her then... "F*ck my sexuality!" She grabbed her by her shirt before she pulled him to her, catching him by his lips.

Ren Shiyuan was surprised by what she suddenly did. Before he could realize what she was doing, she pulled away from the kiss and looked at him straight in his eyes with a blushing face. "Make sure to keep your word or else I'm going to hunt you down! I am doing this because I don't want my family to marry the man that my parents will choose."

Ren Shiyuan blinked a few times because of what she said. Their situations were the same, their parents wanted to fix an arranged marriage for them although their reasons for rejecting them were different. He didn't agree with what his family wanted because he wanted to marry the girl he loved.

"Fine, we can do that." Ren Shiyuan said with a smile. If his family learned that he was with someone, then they could finally stop pestering him right?

"My mother and father will be coming on Friday. I am going to introduce you to them and whatever happens, after I introduce you to them, you have to help me out, okay?"

Ren Shiyuan nodded and chuckled, "Okay, as long as you help me out with my family as well."

She blinked a few times, "They want to marry you with someone else?"

"Just like what I said before, we are the same." He said as he reached out for his drink.

"I see... I guess that's good. This 100 days trial will be useful for both of us."

"Mm." Ren Shiyuan took a sip from the hot choco.

Nian Jiezhen stood up and went to take a peek from the curtains of her window. "It's still snowing outside, won't you be late for your work?"

"Who said that I have work?" Ren Shiyuan was sitting on the sofa in comfort, he placed his mug back on the coffee table before he took the phone out.

"You said that you have somewhere you should be earlier." She walked towards her and peeked to see what he was doing on his phone but he has already exited his inbox by then.

Ren Shiyuan turned to her and smiled. He kept his phone before he reached out to her and made her sit on his lap. "I did say that." He grinned at her, "And I'm already here."

"How about your work?" Nian Jiezhen couldn't help but ask as she looked at his beautiful face.

"I wouldn't be here right now if I'm not free, " said Ren Shiyuan as he stared back at her. His slender hands were on her legs, caressing them in a loving way.

"Oh, that's good then." She placed her hand on his chest to grope his breast but for some reason, she found his chest too soft... as if there was nothing under his bra other than the pads.

"Hey, what do you think are you doing?" He lightly slapped her hand away. To be honest, he was not afraid that Nian Jiezhen would find out that he was actually a guy. The only thing he wanted was for Nian Jiezhen to find it out herself.

The reason why he allowed his disguise to prolong was that found it amusing whenever he was able to see her troubled face.

Nian Jiezhen's brows met and a wrinkle was formed on her forehead. "Don't tell me..." She trailed off as her eyes landed on his chest.

Ren Shiyuan thought that Nian Jiezhen has finally realized that he was a man but...

"You have cute sized breasts like mine."
