15 MY MENG BAO! (2)

[Yang Menghuo POV]

"Now that we are here, do you have any plan for today's date, My Meng Bao?" Shi Ying said.

'My Meng Bao…'

The endearing call echoed inside Menghuo's brain. He blanked for a while, and his brain short-circuited out of both shock and awe. Yang Menghuo got plenty of endearing calls from women who wanted to be with him. Most of the time, it made his stomach turned, because it was either so cringy or just downright flirtatiously disgusting.

But why did it hit different when Shi Ying said it? Was it because he never got called Meng Bao before? Maybe the intonation? Or maybe just because of the overall atmosphere?

'My Meng Bao…'

Yang Menghuo's heartbeat accelerated as he covered half of his face with his palm, trying his best to hide his face. Because he was blushing red like a tomato, it was pretty unscientific for him.

Shi Ying saw that Yang Menghuo was blushing hard. She giggled and teased even more, "Meng Bao, why are you so red? Are you a tomato bao bun or strawberry filled bao bun? Hihi~"

"I—I am not a dumpling…" Menghuo said. He became stiff immediately when Shi Ying poked his cheek.

"Your cheek has some fat in it. Are you sure you are not strawberry bun?"

"S—Stop teasing me!" Menghuo grabbed Shi Ying's hand and looked at her. Their eyes met and under the magnolia tree. Both Shi Ying and Yang Menghuo's gazes started getting intense, and they couldn't hide their chemistry on each other, giving everyone who saw this scene butterflies in their stomachs.

Including people who were assigned by Madam Yang to follow her son in case, her son was lying again about getting a girlfriend. They took a picture of this scene and sent it to Madam Yang immediately.

After making sure they had done their job, the people assigned to spy on Yang Menghuo finally left. Menghuo brushed Shi Ying's hand away and slid his butt further from Shi Ying on the bench. Shi Ying still giggled at Menghuo's reaction and his blushing red cheek.

"S—Stop laughing! What's so funny anyway?" Menghuo chided. He turned his head to the opposite side to avoid Shi Ying.

"Meng Bao, you are really a virgin, aren't you? I've never seen someone at your age so flustered like this. It is pretty cute, though, ahahaha!" Shi Ying laughed freely at Menghuo's nervousness.

Feeling humiliated, Menghuo howled back at Shi Ying, "You are not so different than me. Don't you remember that you are also a virgin?"

Shi Ying's laugh stopped immediately. She glared at Menghuo, "That's because I'm a goodhearted maiden who wants to wait until my marriage!"

"And I am also waiting for my childhood sweetheart!" Menghuo glared back, not wanting to be laughed at by Shi Ying.

…

Their gazes met again, they were both glaring at each other, but their glares somehow turned into a long gaze that made both of them embarrassed for no reason. They looked away and sat at each edge of the bench.

"Well, your mother's people have left now. Are we still going to do this play pretend? Geez, your rental boyfriend service is surely a handful!" Shi Ying complained.

"W—Well, yes, this is part of my rental service. You still have to play along to gain the full experience of dating a rich second generation," Menghuo said.

"You should tell your fellow friends who are in this rich second generation service to stop playing around and get a real job," Shi Ying commented. "But well, I enjoyed it nonetheless."

Yang Menghuo pondered for a moment, 'It seems that she is still clueless about my real identity. This is beneficial. All women I've met will definitely change after they know my real identity and start aiming for money, except Batman-Jie."

From his experience with many suitors, they were fawning over two things, his money and his looks, which was pretty typical.

But Yang Menghuo always preferred someone like Batman-Jie. The one who was down to earth and could make him comfortable. And perhaps, Shi Ying was the closest one at that.

Since he didn't feel disgusted at Shi Ying, he started thinking about taking advantage of this comfort and lined it up with his interest to delay more times so he could find Batman-Jie.

"If I can trick Ying Jie with this, I can just continue with this rental boyfriend service for a while, and I am sure Ying Jie wouldn't fall in love with me.'

'Me? Of course, I will not fall in love with Ying Jie. My love is reserved only for Batman-Jie! Batman-Jie is my one and only sweetheart!' Yang Menghuo chanted in his heart to assure himself.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Shi Ying asked. "What is the next service? Another play pretend?"

"Well, I can always take you to the nearest cinema," Yang Menghuo said.

"Cinema? Hm… I don't know the newest movie, but sure, why not," Shi Ying replied.

Shi Ying held Yang Menghuo's hand so naturally as they walked to the cinema. This area was an expensive shopping district with a lot of luxury brand and also very well maintained. It was owned by a mysterious billionaire who never mentioned his name, but he was sure a crazy rich Asian.

"You know, from what I heard, this area is owned by a mysterious billionaire. Imagine to have this kind of richness," Shi Ying gushed over the trivia. "I bet he is swimming with a bunch of beautiful women right now, though. What a pity."

Yang Menghuo glanced at Shi Ying for a second and asked, "Why a pity?"

"Because I also want to get that money ah! Hahahah!" Shi Ying laughed heartily.

"Are you not going to say that you want to have a beautiful love life with him or something?"

"Romance can wait. Money comes first!" Shi Ying laughed again. "Besides, he is probably an old man with a nagging wife and five mistresses! What romance we are talking about?"

"Heh, I see…" Yang Menghuo nodded with a thin smile on his face. "It's better without romance, right?"
