Yang Mi had always had high-profile relationships and often spotted visiting her boyfriends on the set. Hawick and Yang Mi were seen hugging and kissing before, no wonder Hawick said there are plans for marriage this year.

Yesterday the couple came back to HK from Beijing to send new year greetings to Hawick's father, Lau Dan. At the airport, Yang Mi initially had her arm linked with Hawick, but once she saw reporters, she shyly took her hand off of him.

When asked when the couple is going to give out a pair of red envelopes? Hawick smiled and did not respond. As they were leaving the airport, the couple headed towards the direction of Lau Dan's home. Asked if he already sent new year greetings to future father and mother in-law in Beijing? Hawick smiled sweetly: "Yes, they're very nice and made me feel very comfortable. I also got red envelopes too. My girlfriend will be staying in the new home for a few days, she saw it and really likes it. (Are you giving the house to your girlfriend?) Actually the house is under my mother and Yang Mi's name."

How are they celebrating Valentine's Day? Hawick said: "It's Valentine's Day every day! Actually I'm rarely in HK, so I'll be spending time with my family in the next few days. (Did you already get the gift?) Don't need to especially get a gift because usually whenever I see something that she might like, I would buy it for her. Also, we're always together, how can I go buy it? (Then did Yang Mi prepare a gift for you?) Nope, actually this is our second Valentine's Day, we just spent it like any other day last year."

In the past year, Hawick has been earning tons of money in Mainland. Last year he purchased a HK$30 million, 1,398 square feet Valverde home in the Mid-Levels district. It was understood, in less than 6 months after the property was purchased, the market value had already increased by 10% (now HK$33 million). Also, in order to fully acknowledge Yang Mi as his girlfriend, Hawick added her name on the property. Their marriage is probably not too far. Although Hawick stressed that the home is primarily used to visit his family while he's in HK, Hawick will definitely make arrangements to spent a sweet Valentine's Day in the new home.

Hawick Lau, his girlfriend Yang Mi and Chrissie Chau were in Hainan Island working on their new film Hold My Love (Hold住愛). Earlier it was rumored Yang Mi's love shifted towards Nicholas Tse, but the couple proved the rumor false through actions. When the couple were interviewed, Yang Mi was like a little bird and often had her boyfriend do all the speaking. During the time, she often stared deeply at him with feelings. So envious of them!

Yesterday it was the first day of work for Hawick, and he already has to shoot a break up scene with Yang Mi. It looks like the storyline holds the same view as the latest rumors. Hawick has the trust for his girlfriend and expressed: "We all know she (Yang Mi) is a popular actress, she can easily get these gossips!" When Yang Mi heard her boyfriend's praises, she couldn't help but squeal a "hey" sound and deeply watched Hawick as he continues: "I never asked her about it. If I had to ask, then that means I don't trust her. (Undercurrent?) There really isn't anything! We rarely have arguments! (Don't get to see each other a lot?) Sometimes even if we have a 1 or 2 day break, we would take advantage of the time to see each other. (She's a marriage partner?) We have so many job notices daily, no time! (Girlfriend has many pursuers?) What's to worry about, I have a lot of pursuers too!" Yang Mi laughed: "We are currently doing very well."

In the film, Hawick has a bed scene, but he reveals its not with his girlfriend, but rather sexy goddess Chrissie Chau. Yang Mi laughed and said she won't monitor the set. Hawick immediately said: "You should come watch!" The two were flirting in public, Hawick then reassured his girlfriend: "I have the body of King Kong, nothing can hurt me."

Collaborating with a sweet couple, Chrissie frankly expressed she feels awkward: "They're a pair, it feels like I'm the third party. In my heart, I feel sorry. (Have a bed scene with Hawick?) Yeah, somewhat awkward. (Tell Yang Mi to come visit the set?) Not necessary, we are professional artists."

2011 was the year for Yang Mi. From the most influential drama of the year to the highest grossing horror film in Chinese history all the way to a musical debut, the actress finally reached a top after 20 years in the industry (she’s only 25). To top it all off, Yang Mi admitted today that she was dating actor Hawick Lau. The story has resulted in more than16 million weibo’s after less than two hours.

According to Yang Mi, the two became good friends during the filming of upcoming drama Ruyi. She then introduced him to her company, and he ended his long independent actor status. Hawick Lau recently called Yang Mi in a surprise phone call on Happy Camp, and the two filmed a MV together for Yang Mi’s new album.

In an interview published today to Southern Metro Weekly, Yang Mi said that previously, she always thought she was too busy for a relationship, but found new confidence in Hawick Lau.

“To be honest I’ve thought about dating, but never really wanted to date because I felt like dating is a waste of time. I’m too busy with work and has been afraid I won’t have time to face a relationship, but you can find confidence and security on this person. It’s really hard for me to trust someone, and he can make me trust him,” said Yang Mi. “This circle is very fast-paced and superficial, and many, including me, have gotten bad habits. But when I’m working with him, I’ll reflect on myself. I’ve never met someone who could make me do that. ”

The publishing of the interview was followed by a weibo announcement by Hawick Lau a few minutes ago.

“I can finally loudly say I have a girlfriend! I want to apologize to everyone who’s been caring and worrying about my relationship status. This unveiling took a lot of courage. Little Mi is very insecure, so I hope everyone can support her and protect her. She says that she hopes everyone can look at us like other friends who are dating. If we can receive your blessings we’ll be very thankful,” said Hawick Lau. “A new relationship is little a budding treeling and must be protected. Because of work, it’s seems not so simple at all to have a simple relationship. I just want to say it’s difficult to meet someone who I love, and I really want to treat this relationship seriously and be together. As a man, I will try my hardest and do everything possible to protect everyone near me and this little treeling. @Yang Mi.”
