Wang Yi-An was already in bed by 9:00 p.m. sleeping like a baby, peacefully. Meanwhile, at Tian-Bo-Fu the heiress to the Tong family came to visit Grandfather Yang. She regretted not being able to bring gifts with her to visit Grandfather Yang, this is because Yang Tian-Xu told her it wasn't necessary for gifts, so they didn't drop by a gift store. Still, Tong Yue-Yan felt ashamed to come empty-handed.
The moment the maids notified Grandfather Yang that his grandson had arrived, Grandfather Yang became too excited and cheerful. Gifts? He couldn't care less about them. He was just happy to see his grandson, Yang Tian-Xu, “Tian-Xu! My boy! Finally, you decide to visit this old man!” The 87-year-old man wore a male hanfu. A hanfu is an old traditional Chinese outfit. He genuinely likes the traditional styles, and it indeed suited him because it makes him feel comfortable.“Ye-ye!” He called his grandfather, Ye-Ye. It means grandfather, and it was one“Ye-Ye…” lost for words he didn't know what to say, but Grandfather Yang reassured him. “My good grandson, listen to Ye-Ye’s suggestion. Miss Tong Yue-Yan may seem to be the most compatible woman for you. However, if you have someone else you love deeply, don’t be afraid to bring her home to meet Ye-Ye. Ye-Ye gave you his full support, no matter whom you love.”Yang Tian-Xu and his grandfather had a good relationship. His grandfather always doted on him. After hearing his grandfather's words, he felt like he could tell his grandfather everything. Before Yang Tian-Xu could open his mouth, Mrs Yang interrupted him. His mother called out, “Tian-Xu! It's getting late; you should take Ms Tong and Yue-Yan home.” “Yes, mother.” He replied and turned to his grandfather to face him. “Don’t you worry, Ye-Ye. When I met the girl of my dream; I definitely will bring her here to meet you!”
Wang Yi-An shift starts at 7:30 a.m. The restaurant she works at is nearby, it's not like they needed a car, when buses in City Y runs 24/7; it is cheap and convenient as they lived closed by a bus station, just a block away from home. Paying for insurances every month would get expensive, and gases prices goes up, and only a limited amount of parking spots for electric cars in their neighbourhood. It's better to take the bus instead of owning a car, with bus-stops at every corner it's just more affordable for them.Living nearby her work, she has a bike she used to travel around with, every day she would stroll around her campus, work, and ride her bike home. The restaurant is so closed by, she could walk if she wanted, but she loved her bike so she used it every day. Wang Yi-An and her mother have to save as much money as possible. Their little home was a recent purchased her mother invested in. They need to pay for mortgages and house bills. Wang Yi-An does not w
The most anticipating day had arrived for Wang Yi-An, her official letter of acceptance from Yang Corps internship program was sent to her late at night, although it was an email, it was still official. Jumping with joy as she received it in her Inbox, she told Madam Fung and Fung Qi-Wei, "Auntie! Brother Fung! I got the acceptance letter from Yang Corps!"They both cheers with her and smiled because they were proud of her. They wanted her to take the day off tomorrow to rest, however, Yang Yi-An wanted to work and make extra cash. Rejecting the offer, she continued with her duties.Two more weeks before she officially works for Yang Corps. During these two weeks, Wang Yi-An worked at the restaurant every day, until her school begins next term. She has the internship at Yang Corps for the entire summer. Still, she needed to make enough money so that she could help her mother pay off the mortgage as soon as possible. Wang Yi-An's long-term goal is to have her mother retired
Assistant Tseng felt awkward, "Well then, boss, I will go through the interns' schedule once more, and get that sorted out for you to view and sign for approval." Supporting his head with one hand while the other shooed Assistant Tseng away. Tseng Kuan-Yin took it as a signal to leave him be.Assistant Tseng returned to his office and finished up the schedule for the interns. This year Yang Corps selected only three interns, and he did the selecting himself personally on behalf of President Yang. Assistant Tseng took his job seriously, he double check and sometimes he'll triple check for errors before he sends President Yang anything. Making sure for the third time.Meetings after meetings, it packed Yang Tian-Xu's schedule. Need to meet with partner companies that need to host their products and events in Yang Corps Mall. The marketing and advertisement department of Yang Corps still need a Head-General manager, and with such a busy schedule, he's busy to the extrem
The day have arrived, today Wang Yi-An came early to Yang Corps' headquarters. Her orientation was not until 9:00 a.m but being early kept her mind at peace. The other two interns, Kwon Li-Mei and Liang Shing, arrived early, after they introduced each other they all went to enjoy a cup of coffee before they return for the orientation. When they returned, the receptionist told them to wait in the lobby. They sat there waiting, chitchats with one another.They found out they were about the same age, however, Liang Shing was the oldest. Being two years older than Kwon Li-Mei, and three years older than Wang Yi-An, he is indeed the oldest. He wanted to be sure he could get in Yang Corps and so he had completed his degree while Wang Yi-An and Kwon Li-Mei are in their third years. Kwon Li-Mei went to an expensive university, and Wang Yi-An went to a cheap third rate college. Not only does Kwon Li-Mei have a pretty face, but she also seems to be quite an intelligent beauty
His large hand grabbed onto her tiny arm, pulled her in towards him. She lost balance for a short second, but as she was about to fall into his arms, she kept herself together and not slip. His tug had a morsel force to it, when he pulled her in, she let out a minor moan, "Ah!"Everyone heard the loud shouts, turning heads to watch as they became more curious, then as they all heard the three words coming from their President Yang's mouth, "I like you!" they became startled by the catching rings attached to his masculine voice. Yang Tian-Xu stared deep into Wang Yi-An's eyes for a second longer, still he kept his grip onto her arm, tight.Nobody could possibility understand his suffering, his long waits at the coffee shop. Two weeks he waited for a chance to meet her again. It felt like the first-time he saw her, only this time his heart beats faster, almost like his heart could jump out of his chest. Dreams of her night after night, like an impulse remembered by his body
Meanwhile, Wang Yi-An walked down the hallway with Yang Tian-Xu beside her with Assistant Tseng trailing behind them. Yang Tian-Xu wanted to know more about Wang Yi-An, so he engaged her in a brief conversation. It was bare, he would call for questions, and she would respond, “I heard you have a photographic memory.”"Yes." a simple replied.Straightforward, shy, and simple is her personality; this is who she is. Hates engaging in uncalled conversations, and she avoids meaningless conversations as much possible. It always embarrassed her when she spoke to strangers. With the way she answered him, Yang Tian-Xu felt hopeless. If he didn't ask her, she won't talk to him. But there's a question he wanted to asked her, bottled up inside him for two weeks, it took courage to ask her, “How Old Are You?”“22.” She answered him. She thought it was unnecessary for him to ask about her age.There was a disappointment in his eyes when he h
Without the boss insight, Assistant Tseng felt the need to complain to Wang Yi-An. “This is all too sudden, sometimes he would make sudden decisions like this and hope I can accomplish it all.” He sighs and still packs up as he was told.“Has he always been very impulsive?”“Not so much, but lately, yes. Yes, He has.” He said as he sarcastically nodded."I see…" Wang Yi-An wasn’t someone who likes to gossip, but she felt like she had taken over Assistant Tseng’s desk. "I’m sorry I took your spot.""Oh, no, no." He stated, "This wasn’t my desk to begin. As President Yang said, I have my office upstairs on the eighth floor. This desk used to be Ms Mo. It’s a shame about what happened to her and the General Manager.""What happened to them?" interested as she was about to take somebody's desk and make it hers."You know about the missing plane, Medaria. Right?" Assistant Tseng started
“I have never agreed to that. Also,” he breathe out while he button the last button on his shirt before he said. “I can’t just tell my mother that we changed our minds and not get marry just because you’re in love with Yang Tian-Xu.”“I… can’t love him anymore…” Wang Yi-An faced away, because she doesn’t want him to see her sad face, but Liu Shun-Feng sees right through her.“A fight already?” He asked, but she shook her head. He stopped her when he said, “Don’t try to lie to me, Yi-An.” Staring at her, he knew what she wanted to say. He doesn’t need her to lie to him, nor does he want her to lie to him. “I heard you calling his name last night. It wasn’t just once. But a lot of times.”“I…” Wang Yi-An wanted to say something, but she doesn’t know what to say. She stared away from his eyes. Looking at nothing, as her mind became filled with confusion.Then Liu Shun-Feng came over and sat closer to her. He sat very close, close enough to have almost sat on her, but he didn’t. He looked
doesn’t? Walking into the bathroom with a pair of dried clothing. He had been busy taking care of Wang Yi-An since they got to the hotel. And he was still wet himself. He might not have been in the rain as long as Wang Yi-An has, but he was still damped by the rain.Heading into the shower after he had removed all of his clothing. He continued to curse and slam his fist on the shower wall. After the shower, he walked out feeling fresh. He walked into the bedroom and Wang Yi-An was still out of it. Still trying to recover from the fever she had, which had gone down thanks to the medicine.Feeling her forehead with the back of his hand. He smiled because her temperature had cooled down quite a bit, still hot. But not as hot as it was before.He wore a bathrobe as he got out of the shower; he was still wet and tried to dry himself first before he change, but he was just damn tired, so he was still wearing the bathrobe, naked underneath as he climbed into the bed with her laying next to h
Outside in the pouring rain, Liu Shun-Feng was on his way to Wang Yi-An’s house. He was supposed to meet with Mother Wang and his mother at the Wang’s Residence after he finished one of his endorsements gig.Pan Rong and Mother Wang had their plans, and they wanted to properly talked about Wang Yi-An’s engagement to Liu Shun-Feng. Pan Rong wasn’t happy with Liu Shun-Feng as his future son-in-law, and he wanted to talk with him personally. As a father, no one is good enough for his daughter.Just as Liu Shun-Feng was pulling his sport car into the parking lot, he saw Wang Yi-An rushing outside in the pouring rain. He couldn’t help himself, and he followed her. Watching her sitting down outside in the cold, in the middle of the street. He came over and covered her with his dark navy blue umbrella. Being soaked in the rain, Wang Yi-An fallen ill. Just as she loses her consciousness, he dropped his umbrella to the ground to support her. Holding her upright just in time before she hit her
He laughs as he said, “No one is making your mother cry. Your mother is shedding tears of joy.” He said as he smiled at her. “Your mother and I are going to get married, Yi-An. We can finally be a family together.”Pan Rong, the father that she hated. She hasn’t always hated him before. There were times when he had loved her, spoils her, and cared for her like any father would. His precious daughter. But since Yi-Xiu had disappeared, she hated him ever since. Wang Yi-An told herself that she no longer has a father, because if it weren’t for him. Sending her brother to study aboard, he wouldn’t need to take that flight. And if he hadn’t taken that flight, he wouldn’t have disappeared. Wang Yi-An hated him for that, and she could never forgive him for separating her family.Call her the girl with father issues, but she doesn’t need a father that only knows how to make her mother cry. Wang Yi-An had tried her best to live a life without her father.She tried to return home and forget abo
Under the love and care of Cheung Yun-Er, the twins had completed her in a way that she had always felt was missing. Holding the twins in her arms, Cheung Yun-Er was happy. She cared and love them like they were her own children.But two months later, the babies became sick, feverish because they were growing their first tooth. The doctor had mentioned something about how important it was for the mother to be around the babies when they grow their first tooth grown. Thus, Pan Rong had to seek out to Mother Wang and told her to become the babies’ wet nurse. Mother Wang was happy to be with her children again. She didn’t ask questions or needed anything else. Mother Wang moved into the Pan Manor to take care of her children.Wang Yi-An and her brother were about two years old at the time. Of course, Cheung Yun-Er wasn’t happy when Mother Wang had moved into the Pan Manor to take care of the twins. Even though legally, all the paperworks have been redone with Cheung Yun-Er as the twins’ l
Like a storm in her heart, the sky began to cry out the tears of the heavens. Rain. Dripping on her face as it continues to drip all over her body. Soaking her clothing. Her hair was wet. She doesn’t have an umbrella on her, nor does she need one. She deserved to be out in the cold rain.For all that she had done to Yang Tian-Xu. All the hurt she had caused him. She felt like she deserved to be soaked out in the cold rain that became heavier as the time goes by. She wanted the rain to continue, pouring harder and harder down onto her. Make her sick, freeze her to death, whatever… because she doesn’t deserve to be healthy. She doesn’t deserve to live with such guilt in her heart. She thought it would have been better if she didn’t exist.Walking home, wandering the street. She knew she needed to come back home. Late in the night, her mother might worry about her. All she wanted now was to just come back home. Crawl into her brother’s bed, continued to cry, and ask her brother. “Did I do
Why…? Is God this cruel to me? He thought. For all those times, he had imagined how perfect their first kiss would be. He dreamt of how he would lean in to kiss her, in the most romantic setting as possible.Under a beautiful setting, when he could tell her how much he loves her, and she would say the same. As he leans in closer to her lips, the sunlight would cover their entire body, and from afar it would look as if their silhouette merges into one.Yet, here they are. In a dark church after hours, where the only lightnings were those lit up candles of people’s hopes and dreams. Some candles were already long gone, while only a few remains. Still burning as they continued to flicker in the darkness.Even though her lips tasted like her tears, salty. He couldn’t help it, as he continued the kiss. The longer it held out, the more passionate the kiss became. He held her tighter as he sucks on to her bottom lips. Rolling his tongue against hers.Wang Yi-An didn’t push him out, nor did sh
Here… At this very spot. A soft, subtle tear had dripped from the corn of her eye; all the way down to her lips. One tear lead to many others, and she could taste those fallen tears. That salty, painful hurt that she had caused him. If she could light a million candles, just for him to forget all about her and be happy again. She would…“If you didn’t love me… Why are there tears in your eyes?” He asked. She was shocked to have heard his voice just behind her as she turned around.From behind her, he could see her sadness and knew she was crying without a sound. Standing there, only three feet apart from her.He didn’t follow her here, and when she left City Hall, he had begun to search for her everywhere, but she was no longer in his sight. He had wandered off in the opposite direction from her. Perhaps it was fate. Fate had made him wandered to this church, where he had remembered the promise she had with him. Bringing him back here to this place again, like it was fate. Just like th
“I had lied to you. Before… But now… I can’t lie to you anymore.” She had her back turn on him, and without looking at his face, she said all those hurtful words to him.But he would rather not hear the truth. He would rather if she kept lying to him and continued to deceive him. “Why? Why don’t you just keep lying to me?”“Because… You’re too kind, Tian-Xu.” She turned around to look at him. He knew she was trying her best to control her emotions, without shading another tear. As she wanted to break his heart completely. “And your kindness will only get you hurt, and I just proved it.”Taking off her necklace, she took his hand and dropped the necklace in his hand. Handing over to him wasn’t just a simple heart-shape locket, but his love for her. Like she had ripped his heart out and gave him back his heart. “Good bye…”A heart-shape necklace, the one he had purchased for her with the thoughts of being able to marry her in the future. Inside of it, he had already placed a wedding ring
