Mistaken identity. Unreciprocated first love. Worst first impression. All the bad ingredients that connected Qing and Dayu's fate together. Both of them thought they chose the other one, for obvious reasons. But only one of them got it right. The ot...

Present Day
Qing's POV
There. I have laid down everything. My feelings. My intentions. I have laid everything in the open; in front of Dayu's friends.
I never wanted to keep us a secret anymore. If it's up to me, I would've shouted to the whole world that I am in love with Dayu and that I am pursuing him. That would have helped my cause and helped make my plan to make him mine, so much easier, because that would definitely keep some of the pests trying to have their taste on my Dayu, away.
But, I knew that I couldn't do that. Not until I have a little of Dayu's trust. Not until Dayu accepted a little of my feelings for him. And what's more; right now; I am not really sure of Dayu's real feelings for me. I don't really know where I stand with him.
Hence, I could only tell the truth to Dayu's friends, because they're the closest people to him. I didn't want to keep my intention a secret from them. Even if I came out as a pushover, or an arrogant bastard; I didn't care. I want to be honest and truthful at least, towards the people who matters to Dayu. I would refrain from claiming Dayu as mine in front of other people who weren't close enough to him, until he's willing to accept me.
I am not doing this to stake my claim on him; no matter how much I want to do it. No. Coming out with everything I have, everything I felt for Dayu, in front of his friends isn't me, staking my claim. It's me, assuring his friends that I am serious about Dayu. His friends are his family. Hence, they will become my family too. I will not lie or deceive them. They deserved to know my heart, my feelings and my intention towards Dayu.
I followed the older man; whom, I knew, Dayu really respected, outside of the room; anticipating the face-off between us.
"Please sit down.." the older but charismatic man motioned to the chair in front of him as he sat at one of the table in the café.
"Thank you.." I bowed down a little, politely before I sat down. One thing I had mastered during my years of being a businessman is always maintain eye contact and read the situation cleverly. I had never been able to apply it with Dayu though, but it worked well with anybody else.
"I'm sorry..Dayu haven't introduced us properly yet..I'm Tsang Chua..A former sailor now a baker..The beautiful lady inside, is my wife; Tsang Huiyin. She's the clerk and receptionist. The girl is Siew Li, she'd just finished her high school and she's been part timing here since she's a second year in high school. She's the waitress. Ah To; is the kitchen helper, he's Siew Li's school mate."
"The pretty one; is Minjun ; he's helping Siew Li at the tables when we are at our peak hour and helping Ah To in the kitchen when necessary. He's also helping my wife to keep the café's account.
And then he took a pause, before he introduced the last person, in Dayu's circle of friends to me, "Yang, is my assistant baker..As you might noticed, he is also Minjun's boyfriend...." he took another pause, "and he's Dayu's -"
