53 The Vice President is Secretly a Sadist 5

Yin Mei was dressed up in a stunning red dress, holding a clutch purse as she and her parents were guided to a table in a fancy restaurant. This would be where she would be meeting Rong Sheng and his parents, though she still didn't know if Rong Sheng had even come.

Yin Mei's face at this moment was extremely gloomy. Although she had gone to sleep the other day trying to ignore the message she had sent, in the end, it was too difficult not to think about it. She was constantly checking her phone, but there had been no reply from Yao Heyan, causing Yin Mei too feel frantic and worried.

"Stop checking your phone already. It'll be rude to the Rong family." He Lanying's father said, narrowing his eyes. He was a handsome middle-aged man with an extremely stern appearance, his hair slicked back and his face seemingly in an eternal state of disapproval.

Yin Mei pursued her lips together but in the end put her phone back into her clutch, sighing as they sat down at the table they had reserved. The Rong family would be arriving a little later, so Yin Mei first excused herself to go to the bathroom.

Just as she was walking, she spotted someone that she would never expect to be here... and immediately proceeded to hide behind a corner to peek at him. "What in the world is Heyan doing here?" She muttered.

It looked like he was also with his family. She couldn't quite tell. This body was completely useless and the physical specs were really too low compared to before (though He Lanying was actually surprisingly fairly athletic for what one would expect of a rich young miss).

She wanted to call out to him, but at the same time, she was too embarrassed to. She braved herself and texted out, "Are you at China Grill right now?" After waiting a while and still seeing no reply, she could only guess that he was too busy to check his phone and sighed, going to the bathroom before returning back to their family's table.

At this time, the Rong family had already arrived. Aside from Rong Sheng and his parents, there was also his younger sister, who in he Lanying's memories was a spoiled girl with a gigantic brother complex.

She had a cute appearance and was wearing a black Versace dress with cute gold buttons and had a golden clutch bag in her hand. Such a sweet appearance, but she wasn't wearing light or youthful colors like pink or pastel and instead such a mature black and gold combo, the result was as if she was trying to appear older than she really was.

As for Rong Sheng, he was dressed in a steel gray Armani suit with a navy blue handkerchief and necktie. He looked sharp and handsome, and not at all like he was still in high school. "There's our lovely Ying'er," Rong Sheng's mother said happily, standing up to give Yin Mei a hug as she kissed her on both cheeks.

Yin Mei felt uncomfortable, but her expression didn't change as she returned the greeting before sitting down. Rong Sheng's little sister, Rong Ju, glared at her with clear hostility in her eyes. This girl had started out as a fellow cannon fodder as she tried to get rid of Wen Hua, but in the end, there was no way that Rong Sheng would abandon his blood younger sister so the result was that she was successfully converted into Wen Hua's faithful best friend and follower.

Yin Mei inwardly shook her head, wondering just what exactly went through the mind of this little 14-year old.

The dinner was slightly awkward as neither Rong Sheng nor He Lanying were cooperating at all, both sporting a stiff face. Rong Sheng outright spoke in a cold tone of voice, and while He Lanying sounded distant and detached, she still maintained a semi-polite facade, not completely spitting in the face of her parents who had set this dinner up.

As for Rong Ju, this girl was just sulking through the entire thing, complaining multiple times and having to be scolded by her parents until she just remained silent throughout the rest of the dinner.

But, because of the friendly discussion between the parents, aside from the unwillingness of the children, everything else appeared to go rather smoothly.

Yin Mei's face slowly grew uglier and uglier, until she had to excuse herself to the bathroom to take a breather.

What the hell, at this rate, won't I really end up engaged that this guy?

She couldn't help but thing, her expression dark as she tapped her foot impatiently by the entrance of the bathroom. She didn't go in, as it had just been an excuse to get out of there.

"You're not going in?" Rong Sheng's voice echoed out, and Yin Mei looked up, to see the man walking over and stopping in front of her.

She raised her brow. "I just wanted to get out of there. I'm surprised you're actually going along with this farce. I'd expected you to refuse." Yin Mei said, and Rong Sheng leaned on the wall next to her.

"Farce?" Rong Sheng said, putting his hands into his pockets.

Yin Mei shrugged. "I'd rather not be married with a narcissist." She said, folding her arms together.

"Really? I thought it was because you liked Heyan." Rong Sheng said, and Yin Mei immediately stiffened.

"Wha-wha-wha-" She barely stammered out, staring wide eyed at him as the tips of her ears flushed red.

Rong Sheng raised an eyebrow as he confirmed his hunch. "You two were getting along so well these days that I guessed it." He also didn't say that Yao Heyan, that b*stard was so jealous that after Yin Mei had left he had immediately forced him to complete the paperwork that they had initially pushed around to each other...

He almost didn't know what in the world had gotten into him that day, but looking at it now, it was because of this, right?

It was good that they had mutual feelings, but it didn't seem that they had realized it?

"Who, who likes that guy? No one would be into a two-faced yandere like him-" Yin Mei said, for the first time showing a flustered appearance.

"Who is a two-faced yandere?" A soft voice spoke from behind her, and Yin Mei let our a small and quiet shriek as she turned around to see Yao Heyan, who had on a slightly sad look. "So you actually thought of me like that..." It was almost as if she could see a pair of puppy ears and tail drooping down as he looked disappointed.

"N-no, that's not it, I just said in the spur of the moment, I don't actually think that, it's because Rong Sheng said something so weird!" Yin Mei lost her cool, anxiously trying to comfort the puppy-like Yao Heyan.

"Pfft-" There was a snort of laughter behind her, and her head whipped around to see Rong Sheng turning his head and covering his mouth, his shoulders shaking as he tried desperately to suppress his laughter.

"Hehe," but someone else didn't suppress theirs, and a soft laugh came from the mouth of Yao Heyan.

It couldn't be helped. For the both of them, this was the first time they had seen He Lanying lose her cool. It was also the first time that Yin Mei's outer expression had changed so drastically since arriving in this world.

Yin Mei stomped her foot in anger. These two b*stards were making fun of her!! She humphed coldly, turning around to leave.

"Wait, wait, Lanying, don't go yet. The three of us haven't gathered like this in so long, it'll be a good chance to go out and relax a little." Yao Heyan said, quickly grabbing Yin Mei's wrist before she could walk away.

He smiled gently as he said, "okay?" and Yin Mei couldn't resist that appearance of his.

"I'm surprised our ever busy president could spare the time to accompany us normal peasants." Yin Mei said. Of course, although He Lanying and Yao Heyan were nowhere near normal, they also weren't as busy with company matters like an heir like Rong Sheng. One of them was a girl, while the other was the second son. So although they were busier in terms of student council duties, they also had no family company matters to take care of, unlike Rong Sheng, who spent all his time managing his father's company.

Rong Sheng frowned at this. "You always talk like this. You know I wouldn't treat you two differently just because you aren't inheriting your family's businesses."

Yin Mei's gaze grew deep as she looked at him, but quickly turned her head away. He prioritized a new and fresh love over ten years of friendship. Actually, it wasn't like Rong Sheng was a particularly terrible male lead, he was simply a blind one.

But all those male leads, they certainly seemed to lose all capability to think and IQ when they fell in love with the female lead.

Yao Heyan and Yin Mei notified their families as the three of them went together to an amusement park. "Why an amusement park?" Yin Mei was thoroughly confused, feeling they completely stood out. She was in a red satin party dress, and the two beside her were in brand name suits.

???

She could only look at them with question marks. Rong Sheng shrugged. "Don't ask me. I'm the third wheel here." He said, looking slightly annoyed. But, he could bear with it to play matchmaker for his friends, even though he wasn't the type. In the end, Yao Heyan was his only friend from birth, so he was willing to sacrifice a bit of face for his sake.

"I just felt like it," Yao Heyan replied, with a smile. Girls liked this sort of thing right? He thought in his head, studying Yin Mei's expression.

Yin Mei personally would rather kill people for stress relief, but she thought an amusement park was pretty good too. It was just something that she would never expect to see wealthy and rich kids like themselves going to.

They went to the gift shop, Yin Mei trying on a cat headband. For some reason, Yao Heyan preferred the rabbit headband, but Yin Mei had always been a cat person and bought the cat headband instead. Yao Heyan could only sigh. Although the image he had of He Lanying right now was a little rabbit, a mischievous cat would also be quite good...

Of course, if Yin Mei was going to wear a cat headband, she was not going to let Yao Heyan and Rong Sheng escape from the grasp of the animal headbands either. In the end, she joyfully took a picture of a tired looking Rong Sheng who had been unable to resist and a brightly smiling Yao Heyan, who had both successfully been converted into cat headband wearers.

Yin Mei dragged them around, grabbing ice cream, going on rides, going into the haunted house... By the time it was all over, Rong Sheng was completely exhausted, while Yin Mei was practically sparkling from how refreshed she felt all over. Well, this was a different way to torture the male lead, but it was just as satisfying!

Although Yao Heyan felt a little sad that it wasn't just Yin Mei and himself, he still felt that it was good that she was able to relax so much and enjoy herself. Though her face still had on that blank look, he could tell that her eyes were clearly sparkling in delight.

"I'll talk to my parents about the engagement thing, so you shouldn't worry." Rong Sheng said from his seat on the bench as he looked at the lit up amusement park rides. "But, it'd probably be hard for your parents to agree to allow you to get engaged to Heyan, right?"

Yin Mei's brows furrowed as she nodded. She felt that this was slightly weird. After she had thought that she would matchmake the terrible pair of Rong Sheng and Wen Hua together, why was it that now Rong Sheng was the one being a matchmaker?

She then stiffened. "I never said I would marry Heyan!"

"You don't want to?" Yao Heyan activates the skill puppy dog eyes!

"I-I never said I didn't want to either!" Yin Mei has been instantly KO'ed!

"Then it's decided." Yao Heyan smiled, and Yin Mei sputtered, but couldn't come up with a way to reject.

Being so forceful with the demon king/zombie emperor's face was cheating!!

She thought this, but in the end could only give in.
