Chapter 98 - MENG BAO'S FIANCEE?! (1)

I went to my office in the morning as usual, but my mood had been relatively low since I woke up. Because I spent the whole night trying to find a rental boyfriend that I could hire to meet my parents this Saturday to no avail.

Somehow, everyone suddenly became fully booked in my Rent A Boyfriend app. I literally almost clicked the profiles one by one, and all of them became fully booked. 

It made me wonder if someone booked them all for a sausage party or something. 

And there was only one person left for me to order. When I scrolled down to his order queue, all of the previous orders had been rejected by him, which was still surprising, at least for me.

'Hm… Meng Bao is just surprisingly very consistent with me…' I thought as I scrolled his profile on the bus. 

—

Name: Your Meng Bao, 

Age: 25

Height: 186 centimetres

Weight: 80 kilograms

Zodiac: Pisces

Slogan: Does not accept any request, does not accept any order. This account is reserved only for one special woman! Don't waste my time and don't order unless you're her!

—

I always chuckled whenever I read his slogan because it kept making me think that special woman was actually me. It would be such an honor for me, though, to be favored by a business mafia, hehe.

I pocketed my phone and stopped at the bus stop near my office. I walked to the office alone, holding few documents because Mr. Yang Zhuhuo said he had an important meeting this morning, so I had to prepare myself. 

I saw Alexander Priest already standing in the corridor, working early today. Our eyes met alongside the smile from that handsome face, but I turned my head, not wanting to see such beauty in the morning that would distract me. 

"Aww, Ying Jie, are you embarrassed after our first date last night?" Alex asked, half giggling.

"Embarrassed? To you? HAH, I would never even bat an eye on you!" I replied harshly in the lift, but Alex didn't seem to be discouraged. In fact, the smile on his handsome face bloomed even more, which made it ten times creepier for Bai Yunyu.

The elevator was only filled with us. The atmosphere felt different and intimate as well. "Ying Jie, I know what you're stressed about. You're stressed because of me, right?"

"Huh?"

"Because you can't forget the kiss that I gave you last night, hmm?" Alex guessed with a smirk to me. Which made me even more disgusted. 

"Oh, come on, why would I remember something like that?" I yelled at him. It was true though, any memory about kissing Alex was washed away instantly when I kissed Meng Bao yesterday. 

I could still feel it when his lips brushed on mine, it was more like a quick peck, but it was still very memorable and made my face reddened.

But I shook my head again. This was not the best time to remember such sweet memory, knowing that Alex might have misunderstood and assumed that I was thinking about him.

"Mr. Priest, we are in the office. Please refrain from calling small names in the office. It's quite inappropriate. Please maintain your professionality and call me Secretary Shi or Miss Shi instead."

"Sure, Paper Bag Secretary~."

"You—!" Alex just smiled and winked. He walked out when the lift finally hit the top floor. I was about to leave the lift as well, but Alex suddenly pressed the close button from outside, and I could only gawk when the lift door was closed, with Alex chuckled evilly.

He did the same thing as what I did yesterday, so petty!

I crossed my arms and waited until the lift went down to the ground floor. But before I could press the button to the top floor, a woman was standing outside of the lift with her classy black Dior mini bag. 

She was really tall, at least compared to me. She was probably 175-180 centimeters. She wore a light brown blazer with a Gucci 'GG' belt on her thin waist. She also wore latex jeans and black boots for women. Just from one glance, I could already sense her chic and high fashion appearance radiating. 

'Wow… so beautiful, gorgeous as heck…' I thought. 'Really a chic model girlfriend material ah. I wonder if she is single—'

'Wait… Shi Ying! What are you thinking!? You said to yourself that you're not a lesbian!'

The woman took off her glasses to check on me from head to toe, and then she commented, "Ah, this office is quite rich, as I expected. They even have a lift attendant to serve an important guest."

My jaw dropped when she said that, 'Did she really think that I'm just an elevator attendant?! I'm Shi Ying! I'm uh… just a regular secretary, but hey, I'm a senior here! I have been here for almost five years!' 

"Excuse me, miss, but I'm not—"

"Ugh, I don't need to hear your tour. Just bring me to the highest floor," the woman said as she stepped in. 

…

'SHE REALLY THINKS THAT I'M AN ELEVATOR ATTENDANT!' 

I was shocked. I started checking my appearance and found nothing wrong. I still used the regular working attire. It was proper as well, just like this woman, though. She probably got all those stuff from branded stores, while I got mine from Taobao, hehe.

[Note: Taobao - China's most popular online shopping platform. It's really cheap with good quality!]

I wanted to protest, but I considered the possibility first. This woman looked expensive and most probably an important guest for Mr. Yang Zhuhuo. 

Rather than making needless trouble, I would rather keep my silence and acted as if nothing happened.

Thus, I pressed the button, and we went up.

The woman leaned on the lift and commented, "This office is really nice, indeed. I didn't expect Menghuo to gift an office building worth billions for his father's fifty years old birthday."

I had heard this from Mr. Yang Zhuhuo himself, of course, so I nodded enthusiastically. I was also happy that Meng Bao at least had some filial piety for his parents.

'Ah, this woman knows about this as well? Then she must've been Meng Bao's friend or business partner! But why would she come here, though? Meng Bao is not here…' I thought for a fleeting second before returned back and answered the statement,

"Yes, Miss! This office building is now fully owned by Yang Group! It's all thanks to Mr. Yang Menghuo's generosity! He is such a good and generous son to Mr. Yang Zhuhuo," I said enthusiastically. Because praising Meng Bao made me feel good as well. 

The woman chuckled and sighed, "Well, Yang Menghuo is a fine man indeed. He is handsome, wealthy, young, and one of the most important aspects of him…"

'Ohh? I wonder what she will say about Meng Bao,' I already guessed in my heart. Thinking about all Meng Bao's personality, 'Cute Bao? Cuddly Bao? Crybaby Bao? Pouty Bao? Dramatic Bao?'

The woman had a thin smile on her face, "He is challenging, very challenging."

…

"C—Challenging?" I asked her, thinking that I might've misheard.

'Challenging Bao…' 

Okay, that one was definitely out of my expectation. How could someone like Meng Bao got called 'Challenging.'

'He fell in love with a woman like a man changing his underwear ah, he fell in love too fast, too easy!'

The woman nodded, thinking that she had some spare time to chat with this humble 'lift attendant.' 

"I guess a lift attendant like you doesn't know about this, huh?" The woman shrugged. "Well, understandable, since someone like you has no chance at all."

'What is she talking about anyway?' I pondered. 

"Alright, I will tell you, the handsome and wealthy Mr.Yang Menghuo is a difficult man. He is very difficult to impress, extremely cold to everyone as well. Do you know how many women flocked around him? They are trying to impress him because he is basically a golden ticket to wealth and position!" 

"A—Ah… really?" I asked. I really doubted that statement because Meng Bao, that I knew, was completely different than what this woman described just now. "L—Last time I remember, Mr. Yang Menghuo is quite… mm… kind…"

"Oh? What did he do to you? Did he spare you a smile? Or give you some money as a tip?" The woman asked, suddenly interested in it. 

'More than that actually… a lot more…' I replied in my heart. But I wouldn't say that to her, afraid that she personally knew about Meng Bao, and it would be big trouble if she told Meng Bao about me here. 

"H—He gives me a generous tip..." I replied modestly.

The woman sighed and shrugged, "Well, he is never stingy with money. He has a lot of it, after all."

Ding!

The lift opened at the top floor, the woman walked out first, and she glanced at me, "Thank you, lift attendant. I will give you a tip later. It wouldn't be a bit rude if my fiancee gives you money while I don't."
