Always...

"President Yang and Mr Jin! What brings you two here this evening?" Surprised to met them outside Happiness Restaurant's storefront, she smiled. But when she saw Jin Qi-Long’s appearance she became shocked. "Mr Jin! You looked horrible! What happened to you?"

Jin Qi-Long smiled at her, "Yeah, you know it’s those two girls. They sure gave me a rough day today."

"I’m sorry for not being able to help you!" Wang Yi-An felt awful when she left when the two girls fought each other. She wanted to help stop Tong Yue-Yan and Lee Yin-Yin, however, Yang Tian-Xu was the boss, and as her boss when he told her to not waste time and get back to work, she had to follow his orders; doesn't she? Even though, she felt like she should have stayed to help break the fight. Jin Qi-Long talked with Wang Yi-An casually, as he told her how much he had to suffer today, he said, "He would be terrible if you stayed behind, it's a good thing you left! The girls cursed at each other, pull on their hair, bite and scratch each other! It was like living in hell." As Jin Qi-Long complains to Wang Yi-An, he felt blessed someone cared about him enough to listen.

In addition, Yang Tian-Xu felt a little jealousy. To get their attention on him, he slapped Jin Qi-Long on the back and said, "Well, Mr Jin here is a very dependable man, he can handle anything you throw at him. An-An, you don't have to worry or feel bad about him. Handling women is Mr Jin's special ability."

"Oh…" She felt sorry for Jin Qi-Long, but she could say nothing more, she knew the reason for their fight, she was there when they first argued. It had nothing to do with Jin Qi-Long, it was because they wanted to get information about President Yang! Wang Yi-An thought it was unfair for Jin Qi-Long.

Wang Yi-An felt worse for Jin Qi-Long and the two girls, as President Yang doesn't seem to give them any attention. It made her thought; perhaps Mr Jin was used to cleaning up President Yang's mess? However, Wang Yi-An was just an employee. She doesn’t want to get herself involved in her boss personal affairs.

“Would you two like to come inside the restaurant and enjoy a good meal?” she asked as she smiled at them.

Jin Qi-Long looked over at the jealous Yang Tian-Xu for a second before he gave her a big grin and said, “Oh! We want more than just a meal! Do you guys have any alcohol?”

“Yes! Of course, we do! Come in and take a seat!” Wang Yi-An welcome them into the restaurant as she gestured them in. Compared to most places they'd visited, Happiness Restaurant was a regular family restaurant. The two guys weren't used to the crowded surrounding, unlike the high-end restaurant they frequent. The internal design of the restaurant was mostly yellow, and with a red strip followed along the mouldings of the walls. As they walked in they could see, fifty tablets or fewer, and four booths; each booth at opposite side of the wall, these booths were near the end of the storefront.

Wang Yi-An led them to a more private area; a little further in the restaurant's back, in one of the four booths, she picked the one that was free. The noisy and loud customers laughed and enjoyed themselves, greeting Wang Yi-An as she passed by, they all looked at the two handsome men that just walked in. However, the customers took a glance and returned to their enjoyment.

Most of the customers there are regular, and they all call Wang Yi-An; An-An. As she passed by them, she would greet them and ask them if she needed anything. Then she continued to led Yang Tian-Xu and Jin Qi-Long to the back. A tiny booth at the back was less rowdy compared to the front. Wang Yi-An showed them to their seat and brought them a pot of tea to enjoy first.

Yang Tian-Xu and Jin Qi-Long sat down and opened a menu. Jin Qi-Long wanted Wang Yi-An to select the food for them, and he wanted snacks that can pair well with alcohol.

“What about you, President Yang?” She said as she took their orders.

“I’ll take anything you recommend.” Yang Tian-Xu passed the menu back to her, and he smiled at her sweetly. Yang Tian-Xu was happy to see Wang Yi-An again.

“Okay, why don’t you drink some tea while I get your order ready?” Wang Yi-An took the menus as she smiled at them and went to get their orders ready.

Meanwhile, as they waited for their orders, Yang Tian-Xu didn't expect to see her already; this made him extremely happy. However, he turned to look at Jin Qi-Long with a murderous look as he whispered to him. "Don’t you try to get too close to her!"

"What? Are you jealous?" Jin Qi-Long mocked him as he grinned at Yang Tian-Xu. Jin Qi-Long didn’t expect Yang Tian-Xu to respond to him. Typically, if he made jokes like that, Yang Tian-Xu would ignore him, like he always does. However, once he heard Yang Tian-Xu’s response; Jin Qi-Long's face froze, and his jaws dropped.

"Yes." Yang Tian-Xu didn’t deny it and admitted it straight on. "I don’t want you to get too close with her, it'll be bad if you fall for her too."

It was honestly unbelievable to Jin Qi-Long's ears! Jin Qi-Long remembered that ever since they were little, Yang Tian-Xu would always share with him all of his toys, his food, even when they have homework. Yang Tian-Xu would share everything with him. Hard for Jin Qi-Long to believed his best friend had grew up to become someone so... Jealous? Jin Qi-Long felt the need to ask him, "Yang Tian-Xu! You would pick her over our friendship?"

"Always." Yang Tian-Xu said with a straight face. Meanwhile, his replied amazed Jin Qi-Long; Jin Qi-Long could not believe his generous friend had became somebody else. Yang Tian-Xu was serious and if he had to pick between Wang Yi-An and Jin Qi-Long; he would pick Wang Yi-An in a heartbeat.

Yang Tian-Xu wasn’t afraid to show Jin Qi-Long his feelings for Wang Yi-An. Jin Qi-Long sighed heavily. "I cannot believe this day had finally come." He said as he poured a cup of tea for Yang Tian-Xu.

Yang Tian-Xu took the cup, and he blew on it to cool the temperature down as he took a sip. Then Yang Tian-Xu sneaks a peek over at the counter to look for Wang Yi-An. There she stood by the bar as she laughed and chit-chats with a man.
