"I like to see Titi busy in the kitchen and sometimes look tired. So I like to help Titi in the kitchen, for example when preparing food for the family on weekends," said Tian.

"If I'm cooking, Tian often helps. I don't feel disturbed at all every time Tian joins in the kitchen, it's actually helped by the little things Tian does while I cook. Tian is also involved in the cooking process," he added.
