Chapter 130 - DEAL!

"Jie! Look at me. I'm riding a cow!"

My jaw dropped when I saw Meng Bao was riding a cow I named Shi Qiang because that cow was so gluttonous. She would be the last one to leave the field because she kept eating. That cow also liked to eat my lunch, just like Shi Qiang in real life. 

"Bao! Get off Shi Qiang now! She doesn't want to be mounted! She will roll around, and you might get hurt or killed!" I yelled while rushing to his position. 

"Eh? This cow's name is Shi Qiang?" Meng Bao looked confused. "That's a unique name, Jie. I'll call this cow Shi Qiang now!"

"Bao! Get off of that cow!" I kept yelling, he was pretty far from my position, and the grass was muddy, so I couldn't run fast. I really didn't want him to get hurt, but Meng Bao looked so oblivious. 

Meng Bao didn't realize that Shi Qiang got upset whenever someone mounted her without giving something as an offering, like dried hays or other delicious stuff for cows.. 

It started mooing, and I was about to throw Meng Bao out of her back before I yelled my ultimate skill, "Tiger Jumping to sky and heaven!"

I jumped and landed on Shi Qiang's head, then I grabbed Meng Bao's collar and flung him as far as I could. 

"Whaaa!" 

Shi Qiang got angry and started struggling. She tried to throw me out of her back. So I jumped and did a somersault in the air. I landed on my feet, but the ground was wet, so I slipped and fell face-first to the mud.

"Ying Jie, are you okay?!" Meng Bao asked worryingly. I looked up and laughed when I saw his face. Because he was covered in mud, from head to toe. There was no more handsome Meng Bao, but it somehow made me feel relieved. At least a slag man like him deserved this!

"AHAHAHAHA! Mud Bao!" 

"Jie, you're also covered in mud!" Meng Bao didn't want to be defeated. He tried to get me up by pulling my hand, but the mud made it slippery for us.

He slipped and fell on his butt. I laughed even harder, "AHAHAHAHAHA! Okay, okay, you shouldn't make me laugh too hard. My morning cramp will get worse, ah!"

Meng Bao kept staring at me, and he sighed, "I wanted to show Jie my farming skill ah… You should've seen me herding the cows. I think I'm talented to be a good farmer. Maybe we should marry and stay here, Jie. We will herd our cattle and build a small hut for our family."

I chuckled and flicked his head, "You dummy. You have everything in life. Why would you stay on this farm?"

Truly, I couldn't stay mad with Meng Bao for more than a day. Just talking to him soothed my heart already. I didn't even want to continue with my anger.

Of course, I still hated him for all the false hope he made for me. I should be mad at him, of course.

It's just… when he kept doing all this silly stuff, it became my weakness, and I couldn't get mad at him. 

I took a deep breath, swallowed all the pain in my heart, and looked away.

"Meng Bao, you shouldn't stay here for too long. Go and meet your Childhood sweetheart. You've been searching for her for fifteen years. What if he got married to someone else when you're staying here, dilly-dallying your chase for her?" I suggested. Even saying that already hurt my heart so bad. But I had to be wise…

Because Meng Bao and I had no commitment or whatsoever. 

"She won't go anywhere, Jie, I just know that," Meng Bao replied with a smile. "But I need your help so I can confess and propose for marriage."

"You need my help?" I gulped. "Bao, don't you have at least a bit of conscience? You've hurt my heart here. You should've known that I'm in love with you at this point. Asking me to help you confessing to her is just too mean."

"No, no, Jie, trust me, you won't regret helping me," Meng Bao assured. "In fact, I will make sure that you might be the happiest woman on earth as long as you can help me here."

"Eheh…"

He really had no conscience for a single woman whose heart had been broken by his false promises. 

But at the same time, I was also curious about this childhood sweetheart of his. I wanted to know what kind of beautiful woman was lucky enough to marry Meng Bao. 

After contemplating for a while, I nodded defeatedly and agreed to help him, "Fine, whatever. But I don't want to do this for free. You have to pay me."

"Sure! I will pay you with anything you want!" Meng Bao replied energetically. I didn't know if I should praise him for being so lively or curse myself for being so stupid.

"Then, what should I do?"

"Jie, I want you to be present during my confession and proposal to her. All you need to do is to stand and watch, is it okay? I will pay you for anything you want. If you want a hotel, I will give it to you. Even if you want a private jet, then I will buy it for you!" Meng Bao said.

Honestly, it still felt bitter for me to do this because deep down, I knew that I didn't need all of his money. I just wanted Meng Bao to love me back. 

But since things had become like this, I might as well get my heartbreak compensation, right? I will think about my compensation later, but I will suck the hell out of his money for now! This would be beneficial in the future. I might stay unmarried until my death, but as long as I could be that rich aunty, I can provide for my parents and my sisters alongside their children in the future.

Wouldn't that be the best blessing ever? I didn't need to work anymore, nor did I need to care for all the crappy stuff I have to do in the office. 

'Think of it economically, Shi Ying. You need MONEY, M-O-N-E-Y. Don't be a dreamy girl who doesn't know the value of money ah!" 

After stealing my heart, I asked, "Okay, then, when do you want to propose to her? Do you know her location right now?"

"I already make an appointment with her. I ask her to wait on the hill behind a big house. I will tell you the place later, but you have to be prepared, Jie. Don't forget to wear a beautiful dress ah!" Meng Bao said. He then observed me for a moment and chuckled, "But Jie can also go there looking like this, and Bao will still like you!" 

"Ish, you're still the same pervert!" I smacked his head, and we laughed together. 

"Okay, deal! I will help you!"

After we had our time, Meng Bao and I went to the house, and my mom absolutely freaked out because we were covered in mud. 

"Oh my god! What did you guys do?! Shi Ying, I didn't know that you can do dirty and naughty stuff like this in the morning, outside, with your boyfriend!" Mom chided. "I know that you guys are eager, but that's really unsanitary! You two go and take a bath now!" 

"And don't share a bathroom. I know you'll also do stuff there!" 

I wanted to refute, saying that Meng Bao and I had no more relationship, I glanced at Meng Bao, who only grinned perversely. I rolled my eyes, knowing that Meng Bao didn't mind at all if the whole world thought that we had sex. 

"I'll take a bath first," I said. 

I passed Meng Bao and then took my towel to take a bath.

[Yang Menghuo POV]

Aunty Shi's eyes followed Shi Ying, who went to the bathroom. She then darted her eyes at Yang Menghuo and asked, "Did you do it with my daughter just now, Mengmeng?"

"N—No, mom, I haven't done it with Jie yet… We've promised ourselves to stay a virgin until our first night. I have to control myself, but I can't hold it forever, so I plan to propose to her today. In the hill behind my late grandma's house, that's the place where I met Ying Jie for the first time."

"Ah, I see. Mengmeng, my daughter, always talked about you when she was younger. Even when she got older, she kept saying that the only one she would marry is her Mengmeng."

"You've helped our family to pay for our debt. Even back then, I've realized there's no way for me to make Shi Ying reconsider other bachelors. She just wants you, since fifteen years ago…."

Yang Menghuo's smile bloomed, but he also felt funny because Ying Jie indirectly helped him get a blessing from her family.

Because she scammed his money so much in the past, it actually gave a great impression for Uncle and Aunty Shi.

'We're truly fated….'
