บท 48: THAT MYSTERIOUS LAZY BUM! (1)

[Yang Menghuo POV]

Yang Menghuo couldn't sleep for the whole night because of the message from Ying Jie last night.

*Meng Bao, you don't need to meet my parents. I will find someone else. You don't need to call me again. Good night, and goodbye.*

Menghuo was so shocked when he got that message, then he called Ying Jie immediately, only to realize that Ying Jie had blocked his number. He tried few more times, but he was positive that he got blocked by Ying Jie.

'Did I say something wrong? Is it about the bride price? Damn it! I should've known that ten million dollars are too little for Ying Jie. Someone as precious as her should have a bride price ten times more than that! She must've been insulted by my words.'

'Yang Menghuo, you're an idiot! How could you ruin your own image to Ying Jie? How could you be so cheap?! You have a lot more than that, even a hundred times more than that money, and you still have it in your deposit, fuck this!'

Menghuo cursed himself because he had misspoken about this bride price problem. He might've jumped into a pit, and he didn't even realize that.

He wanted to just go straight to Ying Jie's apartment and knocked on her door, saying that he didn't mind if he had to pay ten times more, or even a hundred times more, since his liquid net worth has that mech amount. Meanwhile, he never counted his net worth because it was just too much. He didn't care about remembering so much investment he made throughout the years.

He could make ten million dollars in a week, but he only offered the same amount to someone as precious as Ying Jie? Yang Menghuo had the urge to jump from his penthouse out of shame.

"No, I can't come to Ying Jie's house this late night. If I come right now, she might still be mad at me…" Yang Menghuo thought. He spent hours thinking that he made a terrible mistake. Until he realized that he had been spending hours thinking about the bride price and marriage with someone he barely knew for two days.

Feeling like a dumb donkey, Yang Menghuo ruffled his head in frustration, "AAAHHH WHY AM I LIKE THIS!?"

"Stupid! This is stupid!" Menghuo cursed at himself. He checked the clock and realized that it was already five in the morning. He had spent three hours doing nothing but thinking about imaginary marriage!

"Damn it! Yang Menghuo, remember that Ying Jie is not Batman-Jie! Although she is so sweet, warm, and make you comfortable, She. Is. Not. Batman-Jie!"

Yang Menghuo decided to finally close his eyes and sleep for few hours because he had a meeting with his dad, Mr. Yang Zhuhuo, and his best friend/brother, Alexander Priest, in his dad's office.

"Sleep, Menghuo, sleep! And don't dream about anything weird! I dare you!"

***

Yang Menghuo woke up groggily. He had a… spring dream.

A twenty five years old man had a spring dream for whatever reason, and in his spring dream, he met a woman no other than Ying Jie.

Yang Menghuo went to his bathroom and washed his face. He stared at his own reflection in the mirror and said, "Yang Menghuo, what is wrong with you, really? You are twenty five but still, have a spring dream like a teenager? And with Ying Jie, really?"

Yang Menghuo still remembered the content of his spring dream clearly. He was in his dad's office, sitting on his dad's executive chair while looking at the name plaque on his desk,

Yang Menghuo, Chief Executive Officer.

Turned out, in this dream, he was the CEO of Yang group, replacing his dad for whatever reason. Although he didn't need the money from this tedious, mundane job.

But that thought soon changed when a secretary suddenly barged in with a cup of coffee in her hand. She was someone that Yang Menghuo recognized instantly, from her fuller body and curvy hips, her alluring charm, and her ravishing beauty that made Menghuo almost drooled like an idiot.

'Y—Ying Jie—'

'Don't call me that, Mr. Yang,' Ying Jie showed a thin smile. She put the coffee on Menghuo's desk and then suddenly pulled his tie until their faces were close to each other, and Ying Jie brushed her lips on his. Ying Jie grinned and said, 'Call me Secretary Shi. I will assist you day and night, Mr. CEO.'

And then they did *Beep*, *Beep*, and Menghuo inserted *Beep* until they *Beep*

"Stop imagining stuff, Yang Menghuo. You are super creepy right now," Yang Menghuo said to his own reflection. "Do you think Ying Jie will be happy if she found out that you've been using her in your spring dream? Do you think she will have the same dream as yours?"

Yang Menghuo sighed and took a bath. He used a simple Louis Vuitton grey shirt and black trouser. Then, he used his second helicopter in the penthouse to go to his dad's office.

Yang Menghuo landed his helicopter on the helipad on top of Yang Group's office, which he bought as a gift for his dad's fifty's golden birthday. He then walked straight to his dad's office. He was greeted by a man with platinum blonde hair, which was actually his natural hair because Menghuo had known this man since he was just ten years old.

Alexander Priest grinned at Menghuo and said, "It's been a while, Xiao Meng."

Yang Menghuo smiled at Alexander Priest and nodded, "It's been a while, Alex-Ge."
