If only you were here. - Part 2

Their home is small compared to the rich, but a perfect size for Wang Yi-an and her mother. The three bedroom upstairs each label with a homemade sign, the largest room in the house had a sign that said, "Mom". The second biggest room's homemade sign says, "Yi-An" and the last room at the end of the hallway homemade sign says, "Yi-Xiu" Wang Yi-An went to the bathroom and cleaned it up, then she went into each room to vacuum. She was a fast cleaner, and she finished in 20 min.

Then she would vacuum the entire home as she often returns to the kitchen to check on her stew for tonight's dinner. Today they were to have beef stew. Her mother's favourite dish. Wang Yi-An had spent her entire day cleaning and preparing meals, and food for her and her mother for three to four days.

The time display 6:00 p.m. on Yang Tian-Xu's watch. Tired from all the walking, Tong Yue-Yan seems content, and Yang Tian-Xu had spent the entire day with her. He hoped it would satisfy his mother to hear he spent the entire day with Tong Yue-Yan, and she'll leave him alone after this. A hopeful thought he knew it be too good to be true, he asked, "Anywhere else you want to visit?" hoping that this was the last time, and he doesn't have to be her tourist guide anymore. So that the next time his mother asked, he would have no reason to do so, because he had showed her all the places she said she wanted to visit.

"No," she shook her head as she smiled, thinking of how great it was to spend the entire day with Yang Tian-Xu, she hopes she had left him a good impression and soon they could something more.

He said, "We should head back." as he saw the time, "It's 6:00 p.m., I should take you home."

"Do you want to have dinner first before we return?" she asked.

He firmly rejected her, "After a long day, it's better if I take you home." Then they exited the theme park and his mother, Mrs Yang called him.

He answered the call, and his mother said. "Tian-Xu, my good son. You should invite Yue-Yan to our home for dinner. I have already invited her aunt to dinner."

Yang Tian-Xu sighed, but he obediently agrees, "Okay." Then he hangs up and turned to Tong Yue-Yan and told her, "My mother called, she would like to have you over for dinner and had already invited your aunt. Would you like to come as well?"

Delighted when he offered her, so immediately she said, "Yes! I would love to."

On their way back to the parking lot, he was quiet the entire day, only spoke when she asked. He won't show his irritation, but to make his mother happy, he'll do what she said and show her around in City Y, because he knew his mother can't force him into marrying someone he doesn't love.

Love, he thought about this word as they reached his car. For sure, he only kept Tong Yue-Yan company, but he felt nothing towards her the entire time.

A gentlemen's gesture, as let Tong Yue-Yan in the passenger's seat first, before he went inside the driver's seat. He buckled up, and he said, "It will be a long drive to Tian-Bo-Fu," he said as he started the engine.

"Tian-Bo-Fu?" she said with surprised, at first she thought they were going to the Yang's family manor in City Y.

The Yang family called their family mansion, Tian-Bo-Fu, a siheyuan style home. Siheyuan is a traditional Chinese courtyard home. Built on a 25 acres of land, located outside of the main city; it will be a long drive there, but when they arrived the enormous and beautiful traditional style home looked magnificent. It could be use as a palace in an ancient-costume drama or movie.

It was a well-styled courtyard home, modern yet traditional. This had been the Yang family's main manor for over a hundred year. It wasn't the same Yang Family home as the one during the Song Dynasty where everyone knew it as Tian-Bo-Fu.

Documented in China's history literatures, the Tian-Bo-Fu was a gift from the emperor of imperial China, to Yang Ye. Yang Ye was a hero who fought in wars for the emperor, he was the man that started the Yang family legend. The manor's name; Tian-Bo-Yang-Fu, was bestowed to them by the emperor. However, over time it named shorten to Tian-Bo-Fu; given to the strongest and bravest military family during the earlier years of the Song Dynasty, 960–1279.

The modern Tian-Bo-Fu was a remodel of the original. Designed and built by Yang Ming-Wa, a direct descendant of the Yang family, who is Yang Tian-Xu's great-great-grandfather.

Yang Ming-Wa's dream of rebuilding the family legacy and pass the teaching to his later generation. Even as he accomplished the goals, he wanted in the business industry; as the descendants of a military family, he felt something was missing. Still a peaceful country is better compared to an outbreak of war; however, he wouldn't hesitate to join the army, and be like his ancestors, he longed to revive the Yang's Legacy even in his deathbed.

Over a hundred years, the Yang family had regain their power and wealth, becoming more prestige than they were back then. They became one of the wealthiest family households with plenty of reputation in City Y; perhaps the country. The one who made it all possible was Yang Ming-Wa himself, when he built the home, he called it Tan-Tian-Bo Fu, meaning the new Yang family's manor. However, over the years that pass, precisely people known the manor as Tian-Bo-Fu.
