Chapter 14 - MY MENG BAO! (1)

[Yang Menghuo POV]

In the end, after her makeup had been ruined, Shi Ying decided to just wash all her make up, leaving her bare-faced and upset. Robin Yang chuckled and commented at upset Shi Ying, "Why are you pouting like that? You look fresh!"

"Stop with that sweet talk! If you want to laugh, just laugh!" Shi Ying yelled at Menghuo, who was enjoying the funny view. "Ugh, do you know how much time I spent to apply that makeup?"

"I feel sorry, but you look better like this," Menghuo said sincerely. Truly, he didn't really like a woman who was dolled up. He appreciated them for taking time to make themselves beautiful, of course, but whenever he saw a dolled-up woman, he instantly remembered Li Daiyu and her strange doll look and exaggerated expression to hook Menghuo.

It made her felt non-human for Menghuo.

'Hm… honestly, I like Ying Jie like this…' Menghuo thought. He felt closer to Ying Jie after seeing her bare face.

'And Ying Jie is beautiful in my eyes,' Menghuo was in a better mood to do this rental date.. His mission today was not to do a random date with a woman he just knew. Since the situation called it, Menghuo wanted to use this rental date to make sure his overbearing mother finally stopped matching him with a random girl.

Yang Menghuo held Shi Ying's hand, who jolted immediately, "W—Why are you holding my hand?!"

"Huh, we are on a date. What do you think we will do? Wrestle?"

Shi Ying was not used to holding a guy's hand. She was fidgety, but since this was part of the rental boyfriend service, she didn't want to miss anything.

"Is this part of your rental boyfriend service? You guys sure know how to hook a woman," Shi Ying grumbled, but in the end, she still accepted Menghuo's hand and walked out of KFC. The day was quite sunny, and they didn't know where to go.

Since Menghuo was leading, Shi Ying thought that Menghuo had a perfect date spot for them as a part of his rental boyfriend protocol. But Menghuo just walked to the nearest park and sat on the bench under a magnolia tree.

Shi Ying frowned, she thought it should be more than this, but before she opened her mouth, Yang Menghuo put his index on Shi Ying's lips and then leaned in to whisper, 'Ying Jie, would you help me here? Act like we are a real couple. Look at your left.'

Shi Ying glanced to her left and saw a man dressed in a checkered shirt and jeans. There was nothing wrong at all with his appearance. Thus Shi Ying asked in a low voice, "For what?"

'We are being watched by my mom. Ying Jie, I need your help here.' Menghuo whispered as he glanced at the other spot. He noticed a woman leaning on the tree near them with her phone. He remembered this girl who kept following him. When Menghuo confronted her, she said that she was ordered by Madam Yang, his mother.

'There are plenty of them here,' Menghuo said to Shi Ying.

Shi Ying felt a bit ridiculous. Did she just transmigrate into a rom-com novel with a rich second generation or what?

'Robin Yang, is this part of your rental boyfriend service or what?' Shi Ying whispered in Menghuo's ears.

'… Yes, you just purchased a rich second generation rental boyfriend service,' Menghuo didn't know if Shi Ying was just pretending, or she was just too dense to realize that everything was suspicious since the very start.

From that empty café with a handsome soldier, KFC that just got emptied, and men dressed in black suits who kept on following them around.

'This is part of my rental boyfriend service, a rich second generation service. They are just random people, but I set up this service to give you immersion. Please play pretend with me,' Menghuo said.

'Oh damn! This is exciting! I've always wanted a rich second generation boyfriend!' Shi Ying responded. She played along after they whispered to each other.

Shi Ying's smile bloomed immediately, and she closed her distance with Menghuo. This time, Menghuo was the one who jolted when Shi Ying acted so intimate to him. The change on Shi Ying was too quick that Menghuo was flustered.

Shi Ying leaned her head on Menghuo's arm and asked, "It's been a while since you return back. When will you introduce me to your parents?"

Yang Menghuo's heart suddenly beat faster when Shi Ying asked that. He would usually get disgusted when a girl did that to him, but for some unknown reason, he didn't feel the repugnance he usually had with Shi Ying.

'Mm… it feels somewhat comforting…' Menghuo thought, and his face gradually became hotter.

Shi Ying looked up at Menghuo, who was blushing. She giggled and poked Menghuo's cheek, "Why are you blushing? You said that you want to introduce me to your parents. We have been dating for a while."

Menghuo couldn't hide his shyness. He lowered his head and replied with a stutter, "I—I—I will think about it. Uhm… W—We need more time to know each other…"

"Well, if you say so," Shi Ying noticed that Yang Menghuo was being really shy, unlike his previous self, who actually looked like a handsome CEO with his cold gaze. Shi Ying's mischievousness tingled, and she had an idea to tease Menghuo even more.

Since Shi Ying didn't know Menghuo's real name, except that he called himself Robin Yang. Shi Ying remembered his ID name in Rent A Boyfriend app,

Handsome Meng God.

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