[Yang Menghuo POV]
Yang Menghuo grabbed Jie's hand and then kissed it. With eyes full of sincere love, he said, "Happy Birthday, and Happy Valentine, Jie."
Shi Ying was dazed for a while. She watched the train attendants put the cake carefully on the table and then sang the birthday song.
"Happy Birthday to you~ Happy Birthday to you~."
Yang Menghuo chuckled when he saw Ying Jie's dazed expression. He knew it must be astonishing for her because Menghuo remembered her birthday.
Yang Menghuo realized Shi Ying's birthday when he cleaned the apartment by himself. He saw a photo frame with Young Ying Jie and seemingly Ying Jie's little sister.
Ying Jie was holding her birthday cake, and there was a date on the cake.
-14 February, Happy Birthday and Happy Valentine, Shi Ying.~
Thus, Yang Menghuo prepared everything for a surprise. He knew that Ying Jie wanted to go on a train, so he called his subordinate to quickly recruit fifty people for this one trip for them, so Ying Jie could have VIP treatment for herself on the train. He was also the one that prepared all kinds of food just in case Ying Jie wanted something.
Last night, he said to his subordinate to empty the train for them, but he changed his idea in the morning.
Yang Menghuo had also prepared something for his beloved Jie, a gift, but he wasn't sure how to say it.
Shi Ying watched how more train attendants came in with balloons and decorated the whole train with birthday balloons.
Meanwhile, Shi Ying thought this was so ridiculous she thought she was dreaming right, maybe she was still sleeping in her room, but when Meng Bao said, "Jie, this is the knife, you should cut the cake first," Yang Menghuo said.
Shi Ying held the knife and then cut the cake for one piece. One female attendant asked, "Miss Shi Ying, who will have the right to get your first slice?"
Shi Ying frowned when she heard that. She looked around and noticed the only person here other than the attendant was Meng Bao.
"Ah, yes, turns out there is only Young Master—I mean, Yang Menghuo here! Miss Shi Ying, you should give your first cake of birthday and valentine to him!"
Meng Bao's cheek reddened, and he smiled sheepishly, "J—Jie, I would be honored to have the first cake. It would mean a lot to me. But… but if you don't want to give it to me, then I guess I can only concede. I will also be heartbroken though, what if—Mmmff!"
Shi Ying rolled her eyes as she listened to Meng Bao's ramble. It was obvious that he demanded that first slice, so Shi Ying shoved a spoonful of cake to Meng Bao's mouth and said, "Okay, you get my first slice. We don't have anyone here other than these suspicious train attendants anyway."
Yang Menghuo's smile faltered when he heard that. The cheery aura around him darkened instantly, but he still had his amiable face in front of his beloved Ying Jie.
However, the train attendants all paled when they sensed their Young Master Yang's anger. They almost dropped on their knees, begging for Shi Ying to kiss Young Master Yang or something because they didn't want to lose their head… or their job.
"Jie, if there is someone else on this train, you would give it to him?"
"Of course!" Shi Ying replied confidently. "There is always something called priority, you know."
Yang Menghuo clenched his fist, "Jie, please tell me who this special guy is? I… I want to make sure that he will be a good person for you," Yang Menghuo asked.
Though that was just a blatant lie, all he wanted to do was to tie that man on the railway and then crush his body with this train. He wouldn't let anyone touch his beloved Jie.
Shi Ying seemed to notice what was inside Meng Bao's head, then replied, "Of course, he is my husband. I will always prioritize him other than anyone."
"HUSBAND?!" Yang Menghuo's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He was so ready to smash anyone who dared to interrupt at this point. And the train attendants were too scared. Some of them couldn't handle it and almost pissed themselves.
Shi Ying noticed how these attendants got too scared to the point of almost fainting. Thus she replied with a grin, "His status is still my future husband. We're not yet married, though I hope he will marry me soon."
"Who?" Yang Menghuo asked with a low but threatening voice.
Shi Ying saw someone that couldn't even handle his facial expression. She sighed out of pity. She pitied the people who had to listen to this powerful Young Master's presence in their life.
"His name is Meng Bao, he is standing in front of me. I wonder how someone can be so sweet to prepare everything for me in these busy days," Shi Ying said.
Shi Ying then leaned in and kissed Meng Bao's cheek gently, with so many people watching, "Thank you, cutie Bao."
…
…
"Ehe—ehehehe~" Yang Menghuo chuckled happily. He hugged his beloved Ying Jie and twirled around with her in Meng Bao's tight embrace, "Ehe~ Jie, you're making me scared. I really thought that you wouldn't want me anymore."
"Meng Bao would be sad if you have another man in your life, Wuwuwu~" Yang Menghuo buried his face in Shi Ying's shoulder.
Shi Ying chuckled, "I'm just messing around with you. Anyway, thank you so much, Meng Bao. I don't know that you can be this attentive to me. I appreciate it a lot."
'Though, I still have to act stupid because you want me to act like an oblivious woman who doesn't know that you're so rich, filthy stinky rich, right?' Shi Ying complained in her heart.
"Hehe, of course, Jie. Anything for you~" Menghuo said.
Meanwhile, the train attendants were just too shocked by Young Master Yang's sudden change. He was so cold to everyone, but to this woman, he could turn into a monster and then reverted into a baby that just wanted to cuddle with his beloved.
It was such a drastic change. The attendants thought they were hallucinating this whole time.
Shi Ying thought there wouldn't be anything more ridiculous than Yang Menghuo emptying this train, hiring so many new train attendants, cooking a real steak on the train, and a three-tier birthday cake. She thought the surprises ended here, but she was still curious.
Thus he asked, "Meng Bao, did you get me any birthday gift? A birthday and valentine are not complete without gifts, you know~."
Yang Menghuo paused for a moment. Of course, he already prepared a gift, plenty actually. But he already prepared one special gift for Ying Jie. He just didn't know how to say it.
"Uhm… Jie… if I say that my gift is literally what you're using right now, would you believe it?"
"Hm? What do you mean?"
"Y—You know, what if I say that your gift is… this…." Yang Menghuo tapped the train floor with his shoes nervously. "T—This one…"
"Hmmm~" Shi Ying gave a sweet but intimidating smile to Meng Bao. She knew that Meng Bao meant by that, but she just couldn't accept something so ridiculous. It was too ridiculous even in Meng Bao's standard.
"Are you telling me that you bought me this train and everything in it as my birthday gift? Is it because I used the train whenever I return to my hometown?"
"Aha…" Yang Menghuo felt something was amiss as if his Jie was actually pissed at his gift.
"But that's not possible, right? What kind of person would gift me a train? What kind of ridiculously rich person is that? Even if he is rich, why would he buy a literal train for a birthday gift?"
"Aha…" Yang Menghuo gulped with the pressure. Somehow, he already guessed that Ying Jie wouldn't like this. Of course, because it didn't make sense. It was just fleeting idleness that Menghuo felt that led him into purchasing this train.
It was quite expensive, but it didn't hurt his pocket money at all. He just thought it would be convenient if Ying Jie used this for her transportation, so she doesn't need to rush.
Yang Menghuo kind of forgot that he was still playing as a poor guy in front of his Jie, afraid that Ying Jie would love him solely for his money. Now that he was in love with her instead, it became so difficult because he wanted to shower Ying Jie with money, but Ying Jie didn't like it for some reason.
"Aha… of course, I was just joking, Jie. How could I buy a literal train, hiring fifty people as train attendants, and then hiring a world chef to cook for us on the train? That's just absolute madness, right?"
"Now you get it," Shi Ying said with a smile. "It's okay if you don't have a gift for me—"
"Actually, I do have a gift for you, Jie…."
Yang Menghuo took out something from his pocket, a medium-sized red box.
"Um…I give you this…"
