Chapter 2: How I dream of you.- Part 1

Cheung Lan-Er, known by many as Mrs Yang, she is in her late-40’s, however, she still looked young and had taken care of her beauty well. She asked him, “You remembered Yue-Yan right?” as she placed her hands on the girl’s shoulder. Mrs Yang smiled at the girl next to her as she continued, “Yue-Yan arrived from City A today, and drop by to give us a visit.” Tong Yue-Yan smiled at him and gave a slight nod as a greeting.

He slightly nodded back at her and his mother caught his father by surprised as she blames her husband, “This is all your father’s fault! Yang Fei-Hung!”

Mr Yang choked on the tea he took a sip of, coughing as he put the cup down on their expensive maple coffee table, he asked, “Why is it my fault?”

“Yes, it’s your fault, you let my poor Tian-Xu work late every night! If you have been the President instead, our Tian-Xu would have opportunities to find himself a lovely girlfriend and get married by now, the reason he’s still single it’s because of you.”

“But! Honey, if I took the job as President, I won't be able to spend as much time with you!” Mr Yang acted like he was a child, almost married for 30 years made him unwilling to separate from his wife.

"You are not as important as our Tian-Xu," she said as she turned her sight to Tong Yue-Yan, "Don't you agree with me, Yue-Yan?"

Tong Yue-Yan understood what Mrs Yang was hinting at, as Mrs Yang complained to her husband in front of her. “You should come help at the company sometimes, so that our Tian-Xu can spend more time with his personal life. Right? Yue-Yan?” Mrs Yang intentions was obvious, she wanted to play matchmaker.

Tong Yue-Yan sat next to Mrs Yang, and she was blushing a little as she nodded in agreement, she has a lovely gentle voice, “Yes, it is imperative not to overwork yourself.”

“Definitely!” said Mrs Yang, as his mother; she often worried about Tian-Xu. “I'll be glad and content if he married someone who is not only smart, beautiful, and understanding. Like you, Yue-Yan.”

Tong Yue-Yan blushed redder when Yang Tian-Xu’s mother complimented her.

“Honey, you will embarrass the kids.” Mr Yang looked at the embarrassed Tong Yue-Yan as he apologised on behalf of his wife for attempting to match-make the two, “I’m sorry, she always liked you to be our daughter-in-law.”

Tong Yue-Yan face grew hotter as she heard Mr Yang said those words. She was glad that both his parents seem to like her. She remembered back to when she first met him. It was her ninth birthday, and they came all the way to City A to help celebrate her birthday. Yang Tian-Xu had given her a music box in which she still kept to this day.

“Now look at who’s embarrassing whom. You’re making Yue-Yan’s face all red.” She said as they teased her about her being their future daughter-in-law.

Yang Tian-Xu remained calm. He said in a steady voice, “Mother, father, you two shouldn’t have to worry too much, I have my plans for the future, so please stop teasing and embarrassing Miss Tong. Excused them, Miss Tong, for the trouble they bring you, they always liked to joke around.” He said politely.

“It’s… It’s okay…” It was a little shocking for her to hear him apologised. She is Tong Yue-Yan, who wouldn’t want to marry her? She is pretty, have a compelling family background, and she graduated at the top of her classes. Yet, everything seems to not affect him, he was unmoved by her accomplishments.

Perhaps because Yang Tian-Xu is also an accomplished man with a strong background and education, he and her are a perfect match in the eyes of many. Many men in the world, none whom wouldn’t be interest in her, Tong Yue-Yan, however, she only has eyes for him, Yang Tian-Xu.

Tong Yue-Yan looks beautiful, sweet, and sitting like a proper lady, wearing in a beautiful spring blue dress. Her hair tied up to the side, with beautiful perfect curls. She dolled herself for him, yet his eyes seems uninterested, the only response she received from him was a simple greeting.

“Tian-Xu,” His mother called his name, again. “You should show Yue-Yan around tomorrow, she hasn't visit City Y in a long time, our City Y differs greatly compared to City A, give her a fine tour.”

“I’m sorry, but I have other plans tomorrow. I have to be at the company. There is the internship interview I have to attend.” It was clear he prefers working instead of keeping some-random rich girl company.

“Let Assistant Tseng handle the interviews, take the day off and show Yue-Yan around, it is rare for her to be in City Y.” His mother demands him to take her out, and not giving him much of an option to opt-out.

Tong Yue-Yan sat there unable to believe his mother had to forced him to take her out. How could she let her pride take it? She spoke up, “Mrs Yang, it's okay if he is too busy, we can reschedule for another day.”

“Oh please,” she said, as she grabbed her hands gently. “Call me Auntie. Don’t you worry, he needed time off from the company anyway, right Tian-Xu?” She glared at him, giving him no choice but to say. “Yes, mother. I will come to pick Miss Tong up tomorrow and show her around the city.”

Tong Yue-Yan stood up and gave a polite bow to him as she said, “Then, I will be in your guidance tomorrow?” She looked up at the antique clock that hangs in the living room and realised it was already 7:00 p.m. “It’s getting late, I should return home.”

“Oh! Tian-Xu, why don’t you take Yue-Yan home?” said Mrs Yang, smiling at him.
