Chapter 114 - MY BELOVED

[Yang Menghuo POV]

"Ugh, so dizzy…." Yang Menghuo massaged his head as he finally woke up after spending the whole night completely drunk. 

He was so heartbroken yesterday, thinking that Ying Jie had discarded him because he couldn't choose. Thus he spent hours and hours thinking about whether he should leave Batman Jie for Ying Jie.

His heart told him that he loved both equally, literally 50:50. There was no bias to one or another. And Meng Bao never felt like this before. 

He kept thinking that he was such a despicable man to fall in love with two women and played with their hearts simultaneously. 

'Maybe I am a despicable playboy….' Menghuo thought on the train before.. 

He just couldn't accept the fact that Ying Jie might be true about him being a player because he had been so faithful to his beloved Batman Jie for so long, getting called a player actually hit his conscience. 

Thus, he spent the whole evening drinking and eating cake, thinking that he must've been the worst man ever alive. He was wishy-washy and a playboy who played with Ying Jie and Batman Jie's heart. 

Little did he know, he was actually a light drinker. But he pushed himself to the limit and gradually turned from tipsy into a dead drunk. 

That was the last thing he remembered. He did remember doing some stupid shit, although he didn't clearly remember what he did. 

He looked around and notice the clock that showed 6 am. He then looked around again and noticed that he was in an executive suite room, he had a faint memory of this place, as if he had visited it once, but he didn't know the exact location. 

His consciousness gradually recovered, and then he realized one thing was missing,

"YING JIE!" 

Yang Menghuo got up from the bed, but the hangover worsened his dizziness, and his body slumped back on the bed. 

'Did Jie left me here because she was angry at me? Or is it because she doesn't want me anymore, thinking that I'm too wishy-washy, and she decided to stick with another man while leaving me here, crying alone in this executive suite!?'

"NOOO, JIEE, PLEASE COME BACK! I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU!!" Yang Menghuo got up from the bed again and pushed himself although he was still dizzy, then in just a few steps, he fell again. 

He looked at the door and cursed himself, "My beloved Jie has left me. There is no goal in this life anymore…."

"Maybe I should just…."

Yang Menghuo closed his eyes as he was thinking about Ying Jie. Honestly, he felt his day was colorful again after he met Ying Jie, like a man searching for an oasis in a scorching hot desert. Being with Ying Jie gave him a new reason to live life to the fullest.

At least, whenever he remembered about Ying Jie or Batman Jie, he would push through all.

But now, Ying Jie left him…

"Jie… Wuwuwu… I can't live without you, Jie…." 

Yang Menghuo started crying dramatically until the door was opened, and Shi Ying came in with a bowl of congee soup. 

Shi Ying stared at Meng Bao, lying on the ground, crying as if he had experienced another heartbreaking accident today. 

Yang Menghuo looked up to his Jie, and he hugged Ying Jie's leg immediately, "JIE! I thought you're leaving me alone. Wuwuwu, I promise I will be a good man for you. I will try to clear this as soon as I can. I will never disappoint you again, Jie!" 

"W—Wha, Meng Bao, release me now! I'm holding a congee for you!" Shi Ying wobbled, and she held into a table because Yang Menghuo kept on shaking her leg. 

"Are you still drunk?! It's been twelve hours already! Drink your congee now. Your hungover must've been really bad."

"Wu… you're not going to leave me?"

"LEAVING YOU?! Meng Bao, I literally have to change your cake and beer-stained shirt, wipe your face with a warm towel, and bringing you a rice congee because you're dead drunk! What do you mean leaving? I'm literally the one who took care of you! You dumbass!" Shi Ying yelled as she was already fed up with Meng Bao's antics. She propped Meng Bao's up and then sat him on the sofa. 

Yang Menghuo was still dazed as Shi Ying picked the bowl of congee again and then spoon-fed him again.

"You should take a bath after this," Shi Ying sighed. She pulled few more tissues to wipe the snot on Meng Bao's nose and another tissue to wipe his tears. 

He was truly a dramatic cry baby who loved to be spoiled.

"We will leave in two hours, okay? Thanks to the hotel manager, they forced us to use the hotel car, so we will go to my village safely," Shi Ying said. 

"Wait, Hotel manager?"

"Yeah, this is one of your hotels. It turns out you also have one here, surprise surprise," Shi Ying rolled her eyes and continued spoon-feeding Meng Bao.

…

…

"Jie… you already know about my…."

"I know that you're rich, Meng Bao. I've known it for a while. It's just you who keep trying to hide it for no reason."

"W—Well, I thought that you'll date me solely for money…."

"Well, what do you think about it? You can just buy my love, and I will be your girlfriend despite your confusion about your childhood sweetheart," Shi Ying joked.

But Yang Menghuo took it seriously. In contrast to the previous Menghuo, who wanted to hide his wealth, he thought this would be the best thing to do if he could get his Jie's love. 

"How much, Jie? Twenty million dollars? Fifty? Wait, I will call my manager and see if we have a hundred million dollars right now, or I will have to wait in few days."

"Or Jie… do you want an asset? I can always give you a hotel or two—"

"Wait, why am I so cheap on you!" Yang Menghuo became frantic for a moment. He was scared that his beloved Jie would take that as an offense. 

"H—How about this, I will give you half of my share in some of the big companies, so you can have a continuous income? I will also help you to build your own company—Urk! "

Shi Ying shoved a mouthful of congee in Meng Bao's mouth, so he would stop talking. She was tired of listening to it because she was just joking in the first place, but Meng Bao took it too seriously. 

"Okay, Bao, I really don't need your money. I mean, I love money, duh. But I will not take money from someone who is not my husband. Besides, you shouldn't offer so many things to some random woman ah! What if you find a devious woman who is really after your money?" 

"But you're not a random woman!" Menghuo denied. "Ying Jie, listen to me. I've never been someone who likes to share. But I will always try my best to help my close friend and my parents. If I can be this close to you, that means you're special!"

"You're ultra-special for me, Jie!" 

Shi Ying giggled when Meng Bao wholeheartedly confessed his feeling. Yes, he was over the top and dramatic, but that was part of his charm.

Shi Ying patted her Bao's head and said, "Bao, you shouldn't say something like that so easily. I'm not angry at you anymore, but you know, I will not answer your confession until you can say to me face to face that you've moved on from your childhood sweetheart."

"… I'm trying, Jie. I'm trying so hard to find her, but it's so difficult."

"Really? Hm… I will help you search for her after we've met my parents. Maybe she's someone I know. I have lots of colleagues. Maybe she is one of my friends. You don't know this is a small world, haha~."

"Y—You will do that for me?" 

"Mhm, I mean, Meng Bao, I don't want to be trapped in this feeling for so long. If you've decided to leave me, then I at least I will be free."

"Though, you should give me compensation after that heartbreak, ahaha…." Shi Ying laughed dry. 

"I… I will think about it after I met with my childhood sweetheart…."

Shi Ying smiled thin and then continued spoon-feeding Meng Bao before giving him the mineral water. 

"Go take a bath, Bao. We need to be ready," Shi Ying said. 

"Okay, Jie…"

Meng Bao got up from the sofa and went to the bathroom, but in less than a second, he suddenly returned and said, "Wait, I forgot something."

"Huh? Forgot what?" 

Shi Ying turned her head, and Yang Menghuo immediately stole a kiss on Shi Ying's cheek. 

Chu~

"Wha—"Shi Ying was stunned for a moment, and Menghuo giggled while rushing back to the bathroom.

"Thank you for taking care of me, My beloved~."
