Chapter 160 - LOVER BICKER

Meng Bao and I excused ourselves and left Mr. Yang's office, which would be our office soon. 

After agreeing to his term, he forced us to sign a document to transfer all the ownership to Yang Menghuo and Shi Ying. I suspected that Mr. Yang had known we would come today and prepared everything. 

I forced Meng Bao to use a car instead of a Helicopter again because I didn't want him to take advantage of me in the air since I couldn't do anything except leaning on his chest and closed my eyes. 

"Wu… I've been planning to do other things…." Meng Bao complained while he was driving one of his cars in the office garage. 

I glared at him, "What other thing are you talking about?"

Meng Bao stiffened and shook his head, "I—It's nothing, Jiejie."

"Remember, Baobao, we're not yet married! You should control yourself!" I yelled at Meng Bao. Though, I did understand his standing. He was a young man that had been a virgin for fifteen years because he was searching for me. Of course, he could be a bit too sticky.

But it still didn't excuse him from taking advantage of me. 

Meng Bao pouted, but he just nodded obediently, "But in exchange, I want to get married soon, Jiejie…." 

"Just set the date, or do you want to go to the village again and do it traditionally? I will invite that old man, Old Fu." 

"Oh no, please not him," Meng Bao paled, and he refused. He still had trauma with that old man. Because he thought that he saw a ghost.

"L—Let's just do it practically and invite the family when it's our wedding banquet, okay?"

"What do you mean practically?" I asked. I wasn't exactly a fan of old tradition as well. As long as I could get married to Meng Bao and exchanged our vow, then it would be okay. 

Oh, maybe also paying respect to the ancestor, at least, that was what my mom and dad did on their wedding day back then. 

"Um… we just exchanged our vow in front of the local government and then got our marriage certificate. Then we celebrate a great wedding on a Yacht!" 

"We need to skip the fiancee part. Because I don't want to wait that long. Besides, in many tv series and novels, I saw that fiancee usually doesn't last because there would be a third person who steals the groom or bride! It's better to marry as soon as possible!" Meng Bao said. He looked worried. 

Maybe because of Alex's incident before, I could feel that Meng Bao was antsy about marriage between us. 

"Don't worry about other traditions, like taking you as the bride, tea ceremony with my parents, and the banquet. I will prepare for everything. All you need to do is to be pretty for me, Jiejie!" Meng Bao said excitedly. "Though, please don't be too pretty. Don't wear too much make-up, I'm afraid you'll charm other men during the wedding banquet. I can't afford to kill someone during our wedding banquet. Even though it'd be convenient since we would be wearing red."

…

Yeah, I think the only one who'd be charmed was only you, Meng Bao. And nobody was brave enough to face Meng Bao, I knew that. 

"Getting our marriage certificate is a must, I know that…." I replied. "But I'm not going to go on a Yacht or something! Baobao, you're wasteful!"

"Um… I think it's even more wasteful for us if we don't use the Yacht…." Meng Bao said in a low voice. He curved his back, trying to dodge me and my legendary smack. 

"What? Why are you scared? What do you mean it'll be even more wasteful not to use a Yacht?"

"Because I bought the Yacht already…." Meng Bao said. "And the cost to maintain it is quite costly. It'd be a big waste if we don't use it, Ying Jie…."

"YOU BOUGHT WHAT?!" 

"I—I bought a Yacht, a big one about a week ago. It is around the same time when I bought you the train, Ying Jie…." Meng Bao replied. He was even more scared when he received my death glare. 

"I told you not to be wasteful!" I yelled at him. 

I didn't want to scold him, but he was so wasteful about everything, "What are you? Pablo Escobar? How did you get that much money?"

"Um… business and investment, my net worth is around Pablo Escobar's original net worth, Jie…." Meng Bao said. "I told you that I will be rich in the future, so you don't need to worry about anything." 

…

I said Pablo Escobar as a joke, but I guess everything was possible with Meng Bao. 

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, "Okay, Baobao, I won't blame you if you want to do it. But you should be more mindful with your spending."

"You don't seem to be mindful when you buy a ten thousand Yuan Tanghulu…." Meng Bao said, attacking me with that scam I did back then.

I stiffened immediately, knowing that Meng Bao was trying to attack me with my own weapon. I had to admit that I lost here, damn it. 

"Fine, how about the date?" I asked again. "Do you want Old Fu to determine the date of our wedding?"

"No, not that old ghost," Meng Bao shook his head vehemently. Let's just find the best time and prepare for everything, including our pre-wedding photos, Jie."

"Do we need that Pre-Wed photo?" I asked. "I heard that people do Pre-wedding photos one or two months before the wedding day. Our relationship is not even a month old!"

"Jie, it's true that we've just met after so long. But I've been thinking about you for fifteen years. I never dated anyone, nor thinking about it because I believe I can find you in the future. So I will count our relationship as fifteen years old of love!" Meng Bao said confidently.

I chuckled after hearing that fifteen years of love. I raised my eyebrows mischievously, "Are you sure that it is fifteen years of love?"

"Yes! I've never thought about dating and marrying anyone except you, Ying Jie!" Meng Bao stated seriously. 

"But I've dated plenty of guys in the past. In fact, I've dated at least fifty guys!"

"WHAT?!" Meng Bao pressed the brake suddenly. He stared at me thoughtfully and asked, "Is that true? I thought you've been waiting for me as well…."

I grinned when I saw Meng Bao's serious face, "You said that I'm the prettiest woman on earth, right?"

"Yes, that's very true…." Meng Bao nodded.

"If I'm the prettiest, of course, many men will chase after me. And naturally, I dated some as well!" I claimed.

Meng Bao looked lost, he was dazed for a while, and I could sense the air around him changed. He smiled at me and asked, "Jiejie, do you still remember all of your exes' names?"

"Eh? Why do you ask? Of course, I still remember all of them!" I chuckled. 

"Then, please tell me where their name and their address, if it's possible. I don't want to waste any more time before our wedding…." Meng Bao said, dead serious. 

…

"Baobao? You're not planning anything devious, right?"

"Un, no, Jie. I just want to have a talk with all of them," Meng Bao replied with his perfunctory smile. 

…

I facepalmed after realizing that Meng Bao took it seriously, "Seriously, Bao, you're taking this too seriously! I've been waiting for my Mengmeng for so long, I even thought that I'd die single since you come so late!" 

Meng Bao was stunned for a moment, "So… you're not dating someone else, right?"

"I'm dating someone named Yang Menghuo, my future husband will be called Hubby Bao, and my ex name is Mengmeng!" 

Meng Bao's expression eased. He giggled cutely again, just like the regular Baobao.

"Don't joke like that, Jie. When you're the one who said it, I'd still believe that you've dated 100 men. Because you're that beautiful..."

Seriously, I think Meng Bao needed to have his eyes checked. He was so blind! 

I think I should be the one who got suspicious at Meng Bao. He was ultra-wealthy, very handsome, tall, and also had a great family background. 

It was a miracle that he actually stayed single for fifteen years, just waiting for a village farm girl like me. 

We arrived at my apartment, and he said that he wanted to escort me back to my apartment door. So we walked side by side, still bickering with each other 

The old security guard suddenly bowed his head when we passed him, and he said out loud, "Welcome, Young Master!"

I halted my step immediately, "Wait, Uncle, why are you calling him Young Master?"

Meng Bao suddenly grabbed my hand, trying to shift my attention, "Y—Ying Jie, let's just leave. That old security guard must've been drunk!"

The old security guard then replied, "Ah, Miss Shi Ying. You didn't know that Young Master Yang has purchased the whole apartment building for a while? He has been living in the penthouse for a while as well."
