Chapter 156 - MENG BAO'S WISH

[Yang Menghuo POV]

The old driver bowed deeply after and then said, "With this, I think my duty for years is done. Young Master, this old driver needs a rest. I want to resign." 

"What?! Why?" Yang Menghuo thought that he had misheard. This was the first time the old Uncle driver ever said he wanted to resign after more than fifteen years of working with the Yang family. 

"Is it about money? I can double your payment if you have a problem with it," Yang Menghuo suggested. He was grieving over this because he thought the Old driver would stay with him forever. 

Since he was the most trustworthy man for Menghuo, even though he was just a driver. 

"It's not about money, Young Master. I've been working for so long, and I want to do something else.. I want to live with my family, just like how you want to live with your beloved, Miss Shi Ying."

"I have a wife and six children, two pairs of twins, and other two younger sons. I can't leave them forever. The money you gave me is more than enough to support me for my lifetime, Young Master. I just want to rest and have a peaceful life with my wife and children."

Yang Menghuo was dumbfounded by the amount of children the old driver had. He didn't expect him to be so fertile. 

"Wow, you have six children?" 

"Yes, and they are all happy. The twins are boys and girls, so I have two daughters and four sons," the old driver said. 

"And they're all happy?" 

"They are all content, especially since my wife is a fierce lady like Miss Shi Ying, she has great motherly instinct, but she never hesitates to discipline the kids when they're making trouble."

"Then, how about you?" Yang Menghuo asked. "Are you in love with your wife?"

"Very," the old driver smiled mysteriously. "Years passed, and we grew old together, but my love for her never falter. We fell in love every single day, and no woman ever come close to tempt me."

"Ah…" Yang Menghuo was impressed with the old driver's love story. He didn't expect the seemingly calm driver to have such a loving family.

…

And he wanted that kind of family as well, with Ying Jie. He wanted to have many kids since he was a lonely only child, and he also wanted to fall in love with Ying Jie every day. 

"Then I will allow you to retire. I will give you plenty of pension money to support your family. Don't worry about it."

"Thank you so much, Young Master," the old driver bowed his head. "I know that you can change after meeting Miss Shi Ying after so long. I wish you to be blessed with many children and a loving wife."

Yang Menghuo nodded, and the old driver turned his back, walking away from the Young Master.

But Yang Menghuo had something in mind. Thus he asked the old driver, "Uncle, do you think I can have a loving family like yours?"

The old driver halted his step and turned his head at Young Master Yang, "I believe you will have the same happiness as I did. You will have six children, two pairs of twins, both boys and girls, and two more sons. You will also have a loving but fierce wife."

"I also believe that you will fall in love with her every single day, Young Master Yang."

"A loving but fierce wife and six children…." Yang Menghuo couldn't help but feel a butterfly in his stomach. He imagined his married life with Ying Jie as his loving and fierce wife. They would have six children. Maybe they could go on a family picnic together or went fishing together.

He could also play with his children. His children wouldn't be lonely with many siblings, which was impossible for Menghuo since he was always playing alone with everything his parents gave. 

"Do you think… I can get that kind of blessing?" Yang Menghuo asked again. 

…

"No, never mind, I was just being silly, haha!" Yang Menghuo laughed at himself for being too hopeful for something unpredictable. He didn't even know if he would have any kids in the future since Ying Jie said that she would still work even after they got married. 

He just wished for something that he couldn't grasp yet.

The old driver laughed heartily, which make Menghuo somehow felt dissatisfied, "What's funny?" Menghuo asked. 

"No, Young Master, you doubt something that will likely happen," the old driver said. "Just trust the red string in your finger. The thread will lead you to the life that you've always wanted. Young Master, you said to me when you were a kid, you said that you want to have Batman Jie as your wife and have a lot of children, right?"

"Yes…"

"Just believe in that."

The old driver bowed his head for the last time before leaving Yang Menghuo alone in the mansion. 

Yang Menghuo stared at the door where the Old driver left, there was a question in his head, but he didn't dare to ask the driver.

"How did he know that I have the red string of fate in my hand?" Yang Menghuo thought. 

He caressed the red that circling around his ring finger, the proof that he and Ying Jie were meant to be together. 

"Maybe he is…." 

Yang Menghuo wasn't really an ancient Chinese Gods expert, but he heard it from Ying Jie that a God called Yue Lao managed over the red string of fate between destined lovers. 

He felt that it was too much of a coincidence that Old driver knew about the red string of fate in him since he never told anyone about it. 

…

"Ah, whatever, I don't want to think about it too much. I need to focus on wedding preparation and meeting my dad tomorrow with Ying Jie.

[The following day]

Shi Ying was busy with many documents that she needed to process in her new office. Even though she was a new employee, her new Boss already expected a lot from her, because she was brought up by Alex, and had a long experience as a secretary in a big company. 

The job wasn't so difficult. It was just the amount of workload that surprised her.

The Boss did mention that the previous secretary messed up a lot, so there was plenty of jumbled-up data that needed to be sorted. 

'At least the payment is worth it,' Shi Ying thought. 

~Tian Mi Mi, Ni Xiao De Dian Mi Mi~

Shi Ying noticed that someone called her, but she didn't even bother to pick it up. Because her phone had been ringing at least three times per hour. 

And the caller was the same man who called her at four in the morning because he was worried that Ying Jie would forget about the meeting with his dad...

And the supposed meeting was set in the evening, after work! 

Annoyed, Shi Ying finally picked up the call and yelled at Meng Bao, "Baobao, why are you calling me over and over?! I'm working, and I have a lot to do here!"

"Wu… Jiejie, I'm just worried that you might forget… he is the last one. As long as we can get his blessing, then we are good to go!" Meng Bao said. He was anxious for some reason because he thought that Ying Jie would forget the big day.

"Oh, come on, I've been working with Mr. Yang for seven years! I know his schedule at the back of my head!" Shi Ying insisted. And after all the mess that the previous secretary had created, she had a lot to do rather than just catering to Meng Bao's worry.

"J—Just don't forget about it. I will take you in the evening…." Meng Bao said. 

"Evening, huh…" Shi Ying walked towards the glass pane and looked down, he saw a black car parked at the parking lot, and it was too flashy and luxurious compared to the other car around. 

She knew that Meng Bao had been waiting since morning at her new office for absolutely no reason. 

"You, go now and leave this place before I catch you again!" Shi Ying yelled. "Return at five, you heard that, FIVE!"

"W—What are you saying Jie, I—I'm in my room right now…."

"I saw your car in the parking lot, dumbass. How long have you been waiting there? You're wasting your time! Just go and grab breakfast first, at least. I don't want to hear you sick just because you're waiting in the parking lot for hours."

Yang Menghuo gulped once he got caught. But he was just that impatient, "T—Then, Jiejie, do you want me to buy you anything for lunch? It's near lunch after all…."

…

"Just buy me a burger for lunch. I will eat in your car since I have tons of work to do."

"Right on, Miss Shi Ying!"
