Chapter 58 - BEIJING'S TARZAN LADY! (1)

[Yang Menghuo POV]

After talking with his dad and Alex-Ge for a while and still insisted on refusing to take control over his dad's company, Menghuo decided to return to his hotel, Lunaris Hotel, with his helicopter.

He landed on the helipad and went to his room. He was in a bad mood today, of course. First, because Ying Jie suddenly said she didn't want him to accompany her to meet her parents. And that they should cut contact.

Ying Jie even blocked Menghuo's number for no reason!

Yang Menghuo was in a bad mood at first, until he stumbled upon Secretary Shi. He never saw her before their meeting today, but he felt that he had seen her somewhere. From her posture, her gait, her gaze, it reminded Menghuo so much to Ying Jie.

He was completely convinced when Secretary Shi used that paper bag to hide her identity. Menghuo didn't understand why Ying Jie would try to hide from him.. Shouldn't she feel joyous of dating a rich, young man?

But because she kept denying it, and when Alex-Ge said they had kissed, Menghuo's hope shattered into pieces. There was no way his Ying Jie would let herself get kissed by someone like Alex-Ge.

'But what if Ying Jie really kissed someone else, though?'

Yang Menghuo was gazing at the empty wall in front of him. Truthfully, he couldn't imagine seeing Ying Jie kissing another man without him gunning that man down. He didn't care if he got into trouble later. He could solve it with money.

But if Ying Jie got kissed by someone else, that kiss will linger forever on Ying Jie's lips. 

And he just wanted to gun that man even more. 

"Aish, why do I sound so homicidal?" Menghuo ruffled his hair. He tussled around in his bed until he saw the clock. It was already four in the evening. Ying Jie must've been prepared to return from her work back to her apartment. 

'I need to meet Ying Jie. I need an explanation about this.' Menghuo said. 'But maybe, I should bring her something that she likes to make her feel better, like a cheesecake!'

'But I don't want Ying Jie to taste that cheap cheesecake again, pei! I will ask my pâtissier to make one special for her!'

"Aishh, so tired ah!" I complained as I cracked my knuckled after a long day of work and handled that annoying Alexander Priest, Mr. Yang Zhuhuo, and Meng Bao. All of them were really handful, especially Alex. He kept on rambling about their future date plane. As if I'd actually date him out of the blue just because he was handsome.

I mean, Meng Bao was more handsome than him, but I wouldn't date Meng Bao, at least not after I knew the reality.

"I really didn't get paid enough for this."

After I typed my boss' tomorrow schedule. I turned off the computer and packed up my belonging. At least, I could find my sanctuary in my apartment, free from these crazy nutjobs. 

"I still couldn't believe Meng Bao is a killer. He looks very harmless and cute," I commented as I packed my belongings. "I mean, he looks like a cute young boy who would act like a cute bunny, so he could get some snack. But if he could actually kill someone just because he's displeased…"

I imagined a white bunny holding a knife as the bunny jumped on me and slashed my throat. Letting me die out of blood loss while the bunny stared at me with its cold gaze.

… 

Okay, that was a horrible imagination.

After I packed my stuff, I used the staff card to go down and used the bus to reach my apartment. It was already five when I reached my apartment building. I used the lift to reach the eleventh floor and passed the corridor. 

I was ready to fish out my key until I saw a man standing in front of my door with a metallic briefcase.

I froze on the spot as I felt like blood was drained out of my body in an instant. I saw Meng Bao was standing in front of the door with a metallic briefcase of God knew what was inside.

'T—That's definitely a gun inside that metallic briefcase!' I gulped in fear. I felt like my life would pass anytime soon. If Meng Bao was really angry at me because of what I did yesterday, he'd definitely gun me down! 

I saw how terrified Alex was when Meng Bao glared at him. Even with such glare, the cute Meng Bao could strike fear to a shameless and influential playboy like Alex, then Meng Bao was no joke at all. 

And I accidentally smacked him and blocked his number last night.

'Oh Buddha, why are you giving me such unfortunate life? Is it because I watch too much BL? Don't blame me, ah! It's because I've tasted the forbidden fruit of BL, now I've become a rotten woman! But please, save me from Meng Bao's anger, I beg you,' I silently prayed in my heart. 

I was peeking from the corner of the corridor, praying that Meng Bao would leave. He checked his watch and frowned. Then he opened the metallic briefcase, which was definitely filled with a gun or two.

But when Meng Bao opened the briefcase, a faint mist appeared from inside the briefcase, and I saw…

No, not a gun.

CHEESECAKE!

Meng Bao literally had a strange metallic briefcase that could cool stuff, like a mini fridge, and he stored cheesecakes in it! 

'How did you have that kind of weird gadget? And why cheesecake? You could've brought me red velvet for a variation instead!' I yelled in my heart. It was so ridiculous that I was about to laugh at myself. What kind of crazy situation was happening today? Why was everything looks straight out of a comedy novel?

I facepalmed as I was laughing at my own stupidity, I wanted to approach Meng Bao, but when I looked in the mirror in the corridor, I just realized that I was wearing my working clothes, the same one when Meng Bao came to the office a few hours ago, and Meng Bao would definitely notice my clothes.

I wanted to call Shi Qiang for help, but I remembered that she was on a business trip with her boss. 

'She's never here when I actually need her other than clearing up my fridge,' I complained. 'Okay, Shi Ying, the only way for me to get in my room safely is from the balcony. I need to get to my balcony, enter my room, and change my clothes before I greet Meng Bao from inside.'

I checked at the room not far from me. It was a woman's room who happened to be a fellow apartment renter and fellow BL fan, Zhu Luli.

'If I jumped from Luli's balcony to the other room's balcony, I can reach my balcony after five jumps.'

'Okay, Shi Ying, you are called the Tarzan girl when you're young. You can be Tarzan Lady today! This is for your job! I shall do anything to keep my job! Fighting!"
