Howl 11I grew up thinking that I must become successful. I want to find my parents. I must find my parents. Luckily for me, on the day I turned nineteen, a man who claims to be my uncle came to the orphanage. He bought me to his place, fed me the finest delicacies and provided me with a roof over my head. He placed me into Global, with the position as District Manager. I worked hard to climb my way up the ranks. Everything was going well, until uncle passed away due to a car accident.
In the blink of an eye, just a few seconds, I lost my ‘family’ again. From then on I became cold and unfriendly towards people. The only person whom I trust is my secretary, my friend ever since I got into Global. He was the one who suggested I go on a long break at a quiet fishing village. Important work will be sent to me via mails. And so, I began my stay at Auntie May’s inn. She gave me the impression of a kind mother. She’s like the mother who is missing in my life. She was the second person in this world to walk into my heart. She was the second person in this world to know the name, ‘Skye’.
I don’t know how long has it been since I last felt love again. Life was perfect at the fishing village. I had no intention of leaving it at all, and no intention of revealing my identity to anyone. Even if I did, I bet no one will believe my words anyway. I am, after all a Chairperson that even most employees in Global would not recognise. Much less anyone else. I find life so perfect, I was even planning not to return to the city. Then, a girl named Lan Yi Rou appeared…
“I did not have a good impression of you at first.” Skye confessed. “But feelings just developed.”
Rou never imagined that Skye would be someone of such shocking background. An orphan turned Chairperson of a well known international company? Merely the thought of it seemed ridiculous. “So that explains the files and laptop in your room… and your reaction after you heard my name…”
Skye nodded. “I doubted you are the Lan Yi Rou of Lan Yi Electronics. But how many would bear the special surname Lan Yi? Then, I got my secretary to do a few simple checks on you…”
“You checked up on me?!” Rou exploded. The one thing she cannot tolerate is being doubted.
“I am a Chairperson! I cannot risk getting too near to someone whom I do not know. The only way to find out about you was to check.” Skye pulled Rou to face him. “Just believe me will you? I’ve truly fallen for you.”

“Wake up…” Skye called softly. “Rise and shine, sleepyhead!” Rou stirred in the bed and opened her eyes slowly.
“Morning…” Rou stretched herself on the bed. “What’s for breakfast?”
“Go wash up and you’ll know soon enough.” Skye planted a kiss on her forehead before leaving the room they shared.
“Tada! Breakfast consisting of healthy sandwiches and your favourite salad!” Skye presented the dish proudly. Rou giggled and reach for a sandwich. Before she could take a bite out of it, Skye leaned over and stole a bite. “Mmm… I must be talented. This is heavenly!” Rou burst out in laughters and rained her small fist on him. “Return my salad!” this was the third day since Rou moved in with Skye. He lived in a small apartment near the seaside. The house was much smaller compared to the Lan Yi mansion despite the difference in their family’s wealth. However, there was this coziness which is absent in the Lan Yi mansion. Rou loved it here. “Don’t finish my salad!”
Rou busied herself cleaning up the apartment whilst Skye went back to the company to chair a meeting. The house was really neat and tidy though, and didn’t require much cleaning. Rou pulled open a drawer and found a dusty box. “Gosh. This is ancient!” Rou wiped off the dust and opened the box. Inside was a stack of photos and a few letters. “What is this? An eagle?”
“I see you found my treasure box.” Skye’s voice rang from behind Rou. He hugged Rou tightly from the back and took the soft toy from Rou. “This is the only toy I had. The orphanage told me that I had this even before I was sent there, so this might be the first and only present my parents gave me.” Skye patted the toy. “I believe that the word ‘Tian’ in my name has something to do with this eagle. My parents must’ve wanted me to be able to soar high in the sky, just like an eagle. That’s why I gave myself the name of Skye as well.” Rou nodded her head. The explanation seemed logical enough. At least, it was acceptable compared to Skye’s past…
“Xuan, I will not tolerate having this girl run wild in our house. Do something about her!” Madam shouted angrily at Sheryl.
“Madam… I…” whatever Sheryl had wanted to say was cut short when Madam raised her right hand.
“Enough. I’ve listened to you for umpteen times already, and my reply is still the same. Even if you get reborn 12 times, you will still be unacceptable!”
“Madam! Apologise to her!” Xuan grew impatient. “This is going to be the last time you speak to her this way!”
“Xuan, it’s okay. Madam, perhaps you do not have a good opinion of me now. But I’m trying hard with my designing. I’m sure I will be recognized. By the 13th time I get reborn, I will be able to match up to Xuan.” Sheryl bowed slightly and ran from Xuan’s room.
“This girl… she’s impossible!” Madam drew a hand to her forehead dramatically and walked out of Xuan’s room as well. Xuan smiled and took out his wallet. He pulled out the picture he took with Sheryl and grinned blissfully. He was sending her home after the movies once and took a picture of him kissing Sheryl on her doorstep. Their official ‘engagement photo’ as he puts it. “Happiness will be ours, as long as we never stop pursuing it.”
