At the back, the air was a lot cooler and fresh compared to the smaller packed kitchen as they passed through the steam and smoke. As they finally arrived outside in the back alley, he pulled up a short stool and asked, “Help me wash these dishes first before we go for that walk.”
She sat down on the small stool next to him, and she turned on the hose, and filled up a bucket of water. “You say that, but we never go after we finish.”Fung Qi-Wei smirked, and placed some dish detergent on a yellow dish scrubber, and start scrubbing the plates. There were two red buckets, one for cleaning the dirty dishes, and the other to wash off the soap. While Fung Qi-Wei scrubs the dirty plates, he places them in the clean water, and Wang Yi-An would rinse them thoroughly.She remembered back to those days when she was just a small child, always helping him clean dishes, and he would tell her he’ll take her and her brother out for some ice cream later aBefore he met her, he was a workaholic with a simple daily routine. Every day, he would be up at five in the morning, brush his teeth, go for a jog, come back, take a shower, get dress, and head to work. Then Repeat.Simple. Until that very day when he met her for the first time, as she was walking on the street across from the coffee shop where he sat. That day, Jin Qi-Long was sitting there across from him, and while Jin Qi-Long was chatting nonsense. By chance, he had been looking out the window, and saw her for the very first time.Since that very first day he met her, his eyes have always been following her. Searching for her. No matter where she was, his eyes would have always been searching for her, looking at her, and only her.Him, a workaholic who never thought he needed love. Him, a man who has everything he wants. But now that he stood there in Wang Yi-An’s living room with Liu Shun-Feng just a few steps away from him.Just as Yang Tian-Xu looke
Mother Wang thought it was odd that Madam Liu would suggest something so absurd. Sure, it was a new era where many unmarried couples would live together for a while before they get married. Heck, there were even those who lived together for years and still have no plans to get married. However, Mother Wang wanted more for her daughter. She doesn’t want her daughter to be living with a man when they aren’t even married yet.Sure, they are engaged but, that isn’t marriage. Mother Wang felt like it’s not such a good idea for the two of them to be living together under the same roof. If Liu Shun-Feng suddenly decided to call off the engagement, what would become of her daughter?However, after Madam Liu talked on the phone with her for over twenty minutes. It might have taken some time to convince Mother Wang on the thoughts that having them living together would be a good idea, but in the end, Mother Wang finally agrees, only if Wang Yi-An agreed.
Love… doesn’t always come at the right time. It’s unexpected, unwanted, like it was forced down Wang Yi-An’s throat. Suffocating her to the point that she doesn’t know what to do that made her ends up working at the Happiness Restaurant on a day she had requested to be off.Happiness Restaurant was busy on the weekends, and ever since the day that Yang Tian-Xu and Jin Qi-Long had visited the restaurant, it had been booked pack since. Thanks to Jin Qi-Long and his online reviews, he had made a review of the Fung’s family special alcohol that could knock him out in just one shot.Now, because Jin Qi-Long was famous as a man who was able to hold his liquor, everyone wanted to try it out. How could such a drink be able to knock out the Jin Qi-Long with just one shot? Curiosity sometimes causes trouble, and thanks to his review, Happiness Restaurant had become even busier than ever.People would come from all the Cities just to order th
Leaving the Wang’s Residence with a heavy heart. He drove around the city for hours until he wondered all the way to the church where he had taken Wang Yi-An that night. He stood there looking at the painted window ceiling high. The church just had a mass, after mass it became quiet. Silent with no one around.Yang Tian-Xu stood tall, looking straight at the place where they had once stood. Her words replay in his mind again.“Two years…” Why did she think two years would be enough for him to decide? Is it because she’s giving him time to handle everything before running away with her? Yet, she still went on ahead and became Liu Shun-Feng’s fiancée. Was she just trying to humour him? Was she really planning to come back here after two years?Yang Tian-Xu couldn’t understand her action. Just as she had promised to meet him at the church after two years. Yet, she had spent the night with Liu Shun-Feng.Not tha
Yang Tian-Xu stayed at Jin Qi-Long’s apartment because he didn’t want to return home. He sat there on the floor as he watched Jin Qi-Long sleep. Because some things Jin Qi-Long murmured had struck a nerve in his heart.He had taken out a bottle of alcohol from Jin Qi-Long’s collection and poured himself a glass before he sat down near Jin Qi-Long’s bedside. Maybe it would have been better if he was drunk as well. So he could put all his troubles aside. But when he took a sip, he placed the glass down on the counter near the bed and thought carefully.If Wang Yi-An loves Liu Shun-Feng and not him. Would he be able to let her go? How could he fight for her when she never loves him?The words that Liu Shun-Feng had said replays in his mind again. “Yi-An might be your first love, Tian-Xu. But right now, she is MY fiancée. Instead of asking me if I love her or not, you should be asking her that question. She was the one who agreed to ma
The smile on her mother’s face, her mother’s laughter, her mother’s voice, and every word her mother said had tightened her heart. With her brother still missing, declared dead by the government, she wanted so much for her mother to be happy.Love should bring happiness, but for Wang Yi-An; love brings her a troubling pain in her chest. With Madam Liu and Liu Shun-Feng as the house guest, Wang Yi-An can only hold in her troubles, and be a good host for the two.Fortunately, it was getting late in the night, and just as Madam Liu and Liu Shun-Feng were about to return to the Liu Manor. Madam Liu said, “Remember to talk to her!” Mother Wang smiled and nodded, as she waved Madam Liu goodbye.When Mother Wang closed the door after seeing the two off, Wang Yi-An turn her head to look at Mother Wang. “Talk about what?”Then Mother Wang had Wang Yi-An come over to the living room and sat her down on the couch. At first, Mo
Love, for many people like Jin Qi-Long; they can search for a lifetime and never really know what or who exactly they love. While for some people; like Yang Tian-Xu, love comes at first sight, and he knew exactly who and what he loves.But for some, love needed to be discovered. Because for people like Wang Yi-An, they had never experienced love. And Wang Yi-An wasn’t the only one who needed to discover love; Ma Xiao-Er was a lot like Wang Yi-An. Inexperience with the word, Love. To her; just like Wang Yi-An, love doesn’t exist in her world yet. To Ma Xiao-Er, Love is music.Ma Xiao-Er has a love for music ever since she was a little baby. Vice President Ma and her older sister, Ma Xiao-Yin had always been supportive of her pursuit of music. But not just any type of music. Classical music.Ma Xiao-Er dreamt of becoming a world class pianist and composer. She spent most of her time aboard studying classical music. While Wang Yi-An started her internship at
Back in his office, Yang Tian-Xu smiled and placed the documents in his hands down on the desk and picked up the ticket. Looking at it with his lips curled upwards. No matter how busy he was, he will make sure he can attend tonight.His work schedule today requires him to be away from Yang Corps most of the day. After setting up everything for Madam Liu’s Wedding Promo Event, Yang Corps has many other projects’ deadlines approaching as well for the month. Just as he was about to leave his office, he saw Wang Yi-An. She came in for her shift, but she never got the chance to greet President Yang, because he was busy all day. While he was busy, there wasn’t much for her to do now that Madam Liu’s project was pretty much done.Instead of sitting around doing nothing, she offered to help Assistant Tseng with his work. But Yang Tian-Xu had specifically told him not to give Wang Yi-An any work. She can only spend most of her time drawing and colourin
