Bab 35: You Can't Force Love.
Tong Yue-Yan walked over with a tray of cut up fruits for the two to nosh along. Tong Yue-Yan carried the plate with both her hands and when she bends down to place the dish on the table in front. Grandfather Yang joked, “My! Yue-Yan is already behaving like a good granddaughter-in-law already.”
A shy blushed face appeared on Tong Yue-Yan as she faced away from them, “Grandfather Yang, you are embarrassing me.” As she let out a secret smile. A sweet secret smile like she had already become his wife. However, the look on Yang Tian-Xu’s face shows he felt annoyed.
With a serious look on his face as he told his grandfather, “Ye-Ye, it is getting late. Miss Tong should be on her way home now.” Yang Tian-Xu wanted her to leave Tian-Bo-Fu, he doesn’t want his family to like her any more than they already are, because once he introduces Wang Yi-An to his family. How would they be treating her?
“What? She can stay and have a longer chat with our family. Yue-Yan is such a sweet child.” Grandfather Yang said as he smiled at Tong Yue-Yan, Grandfather Yang wanted Tong Yue-Yan to stay longer, she has been visiting him so much that he felt like she should be a part of the family.
Saddened by Yang Tian-Xu's suggestion, she could only think he wanted her to leave already. Tong Yue-Yan didn’t argue, or beg to stay; she wanted Yang Tian-Xu to like her, so she slightly bows to Grandfather Yang and told him, “Tian-Xu is right, it is very late already I shall take my leave and return home, I wouldn’t want my auntie to worry.” She said as she makes an excuse to leave.
Grandfather Yang was very understandable; Tong Yue-Yan is still a young lady of the Tong family. She must not stay too late at the Yang Family without her elders there. And so Grandfather Yang told Yang Tian-Xu, “Tian-Xu, you should go sent her to her ride safely.”
“Yes, Ye-Ye.” Yang Tian-Xu replied obediently and got up, as he looked at Tong Yue-Yan, he said, “We should get going before it gets too late.” Tong Yue-Yan nodded and bid her farewell to Grandfather Yang before she left with Yang Tian-Xu.
Yang Tian-Xu and Tong Yue-Yan had to walk thru the Garden before they headed out towards the main gates of the Tian-Bo-Fu. The Tian-Bo-Fu has a beautiful large garden. As much as Yang Tian-Xu hated that he has to be the one to send her off, he still did as he told, only because he wanted her to leave. Meanwhile, Grandfather Yang thoughts perhaps Yang Tian-Xu and Tong Yue-Yan could have the time understand each other better.
The scenery surrounding them was a field of beautiful roses and flowers. It smells refreshing in the first week of May. The flowers were all blooming beautifully, as they walked through, he thought about how great it would be if the person next to him would be Wang Yi-An.
Yang Tian-Xu knew the woman his parents wanted him to marry was Tong Yue-Yan, they couldn’t have made it more visible. Now, even his grandfather has taken a liking towards Tong Yue-Yan. A sudden thought occurred to him, "What if my family objects us from being together? What would she do?"
There was a sweet smile on Tong Yue-Yan's face as she walked side-by-side with Yang Tian-Xu, at this moment she was sure she had his entire family on her side. He surprised her with a sudden question, “Can I ask you a question, Miss Tong?”
She answered, "Yes, of course you can." But, in her mind she thought, "Is he gonna propose already? That is so fast!" She smiled at him as she waited for his question. They stopped and stood in place for a few seconds, he asked her without hesitation. "What if the family of the person you love object you two from being together, what would you do?"
Yang Tian-Xu had a severe look on his face. However, Tong Yue-Yan giggled at the question and asked him, “How can that ever happen? Your family loves me.” She couldn’t stop the grin on her face. However, Yang Tian-Xu knew it was a fact, and it wasn’t just only his parents who love her.
Now that Grandfather Yang had taken a liking to her, it annoys him so. He was most annoyed by her overconfidence. “You sure have extreme confident, don't you?” He asked, “Can you just answer it as an if-factor.”
“If…?” She looked puzzled as she thinks for a moment. Then, with her overconfidence attitude, she replied to him with a smile, “I’m sure I can make anyone like me.” She felt confident why shouldn't she be?
Who wouldn’t want to fall in love with such a beautiful and educated girl like herself? Her background and education are remarkable, and with her looks, every man on earth would drool over her, they can only dream of having her as their wife.
Yet, Yang Tian-Xu, the only man to break down that confident of hers; he looked at her for a brief second before he told her, “It’s a shame that my family likes you, but I don’t. I hope you can tell them you don’t really like me. That way it will shield you from embarrassment.” After he made his statement, he turned around to walk away.
Shocked from his words, Tong Yue-Yan stood there, baffled, “You… Yang Tian-Xu!” She shouted his name, and he turned to look at her as she came up to him. “What do you mean by saying that?” She demanded an answer from him. How could he treat him so cold and cruel?
Yang Tian-Xu said it out loud and clear to her, "I thought I was very clear." Yang Tian-Xu pushes a button to trigger the main gate to open wide, and he said word per word, slow enough to get his point across, "I… Don’t… Like… You…" then he signals for her to leave.
Tong Yue-Yan’s face was flushing red from anger as she walked out the gates. Never have she got treated this way! Never! Ever! She was like a princess born with a silver spoon in her mouth. How could she take this emotional-abused? She tried to calm herself down, but when she saw Yang Tian-Xu calls over her driver to bring the vehicle over, the anger boils up inside her blood.
She rushed inside the vehicle, without another word. Her blood boils with anger as she couldn't believe it, unable to say anything to him, she wasn't able to look at him. How could he say something like that? Tong Yue-Yan thought it was a sure thing that Yang Tian-Xu would become her husband. However, it was a sudden shot down, and she left the Tian-Bo-Fu feeling all furious inside.
