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
Dayu's POV
"You're sure he's not forcing you..? In any way..? Dayu ah..?" Ann asked again, when Qing left us alone once again to go to the kitchen, saying he'd wash the dishes .
"Ann...There's something that you have to understand..." I looked at Ann, "no matter what Qing said or do, if I really didn't want to, I can always leave.." I glanced at Qing, whose still at the kitchen.
I heard Ann sigh and we both looked at each other before casting a look at Qing.
I knew that Qing did it deliberately. He's giving me and Ann some time to be alone, and talk without his presence around. He did it earlier when he prepared the coffee and he did again now, saying he'd do the dishes after we had finished our coffee.
To be honest, I was a little surprised; because he was so calm and collected even though this is the first time that he had actually seen Ann and I interacted honestly. Back when I was still with him; for two years, Ann and I acted as though we didn't know each other; because I wanted it that way. I didn't want Qing to know that I knew Ann and her father.
It's not going to be easy explaining the relationship that I had with the father and daughter and Qing had already set his mind about me since the beginning. In his mind; I had the worst character. He believed that I'm a loose guy; who slept with sugar daddies to get by. I stopped trying to prove to Qing that he's wrong after some time. After all; what we had was just a contract relationship. I am just an experiment. A mere toy, that he wanted to play with for a while. He didn't hide those facts from me. I knew.
I guess when I chose to have a relationship with Qing, I already knew that I would have to sacrifice my relationship with Ann and the old man Tony. I knew that the moment Qing threw me away, I would have to disappear and leave. As I said; that would be my burden of guilt that I would carry for the rest of my life. How I sacrificed my relationship with Ann and uncle Tony for the sake of making memory with the man I love.
"You still love him.." Ann said in a voice so soft that only I could hear it.
I didn't even flinch upon hearing that; after all, Ann had always been able to read my expression well. Too well. If Auntie Yin, could tell that I am still in love with Qing; then it'd be easier for Ann to tell.
"Unfortunately, yes..." I replied, under my breath as well, "bit don't worry..This time it's different than three years ago..." I assured her.
"He still didn't know, right?"
"No." I shook my head.
"Do you know, that he's so obsessed with you now? He had been for the past three years..."
"I know." I nodded, "He told me that he's sorry. He apologised for everything...And he even told me that he loved me.." I smiled bitterly.
Ann gasped, when she heard that. I caught her shocked eyes as our eyes met, "and that didn't bother you?"
