[Yang Menghuo POV]

Yang Menghuo was waiting silently at a pavilion on top of the hill where he was supposed to propose his beloved Jie here, but this with Li Daiyu and his mother ruined everything.

He waited until the group that searched for his Jie finally returned. They were all beaten, torn, and wounded as if they had returned from dangerous war.

Yang Menghuo frowned with so much displeasure when he saw no sign of his Ying Jie anywhere. He glared at the commander, "Explain what just happened before I kill all of you."

The commander gulped and reported what happened without leaving anything, afraid that Young Master Yang would really execute them in a mass burial.

"Young Master, we did found Miss Shi Ying in the depth of the woods. But she is hostile towards us. She knew that we\'re there to take her back to you. That\'s why she attacked us with….." The commander gulped again, "With her animal friends. She is like… violent Snow White… or vicious Pocahontas."

…

"Do tell me in detail," Yang Menghuo ordered.

—**—

"Alright, you\'re my mount now!" Shi Ying had just defeated the tiger with an uppercut, and the tiger admitted defeat by bowing down to Shi Ying.

The tiger showed fear, probably because this was the first time a woman could wrestle a tiger, suplex the heck out of it, and did a jab and uppercut.

Shi Ying chuckled happily and mounted the tiger. She didn\'t seem to be troubled at all. There were few more animals, like other tigers, wolves, monkeys, and birds of prey, perching at the branches around her, as if crowning her as the queen of the forest.

"Heh, you guys don\'t know your Ying Jie ah! I was called Tarzan Girl for a reason!" Shi Ying chuckled. She felt so much better after wrestling against the big tiger.

"Alright, time to return home~."

Shi Ying rode the tiger, singing along to some old song like \'Tian Mi Mi\' while vicious beasts like wolves, tigers, eagles, and snakes followed her.

It was all good until she stumbled upon a group of big burly men dressed in black. They saw Shi Ying, who was riding a tiger, followed by many other beasts behind her.

"B—Boss, that\'s…" one man tapped his commander\'s shoulder. They were all astonished by what they saw.

"Impossible…"

"Wait, aren\'t you guys Meng Bao\'s people?" Shi Ying asked as she noticed few familiar faces before.

…

The situation became awkward, and then the commander took one step forward and said, "Miss, we\'re tasked by our Young Master to take you to him. Please cooperate with us."

"Eeeehh? Returning to that slag man? PEH! PEI! PEII! I will never!" Shi Ying chided. "Just say that I don\'t know him anymore, and he can do whatever he wants with his fiancee!"

\'Wait, aren\'t you the fiancee?\' The burly men had the same collective thought in mind.

"Miss, let\'s just return. Young Master has been waiting for you. If we can\'t return with you, he will kill us!" The commander said.

"Ah, you guys are just too scared of him! He is just a big crybaby!" Shi Ying yelled.

\'CRYBABY?! But we saw him gunning down someone over a land dispute before….\'

"What will he do anyway? Throwing a tantrum if I didn\'t come to him? Peh! He is such a cute soft man, I like cute soft man, but I hate him!" Shi Ying yelled.

\'These couples have some twisted common sense….\'

\'I guess weirdos stay together….\'

Those guards kept having the same collective thought, and after few glances at each other, they agreed to do it roughly.

"We\'re sorry, Miss. But we have to make sure that you\'re coming with us."

They were preparing themselves, but Shi Ying didn\'t want to yield, "Peh! You guys won\'t be able to catch me!"

She looked at her behind and commanded, "Go, my primitive animals, protect your Jie!"

Magically, the animals obeyed her and started attacking the guards.

"ARRGHH!"

"NOOO!!"

"C—COMMANDER!"

They were trying to fight for a moment, thinking they could defeat these animals with a taser gun since they didn\'t bring a real gun.

Even with a real gun, the birds of prey like eagles started pecking their head, made them unable to fight.

"RETREAT! RETREAT!"

Thus, everyone retreated. They ran as fast as possible because the animals kept chasing them until they were far out of range with Shi Ying.

They returned with wounds all over, still unable to take Shi Ying.

Yang Menghuo was astonished by the story. If his Ying Jie was just a regular woman, he wouldn\'t believe the story of these people. But since it was Ying Jie, Menghuo had to admit that his Jie was just extraordinary. She was a special woman for him.

"B—But, Young Master, it seems that Miss Shi Ying wants to return to her home because we met her, and she was heading to the path that should lead to her home in that farm," The commander informed, trying to save himself and his group from Young Master Yang\'s wrath.

Yang Menghuo pondered for a moment and then got up from the chair and walked to the car behind the hill, "I will go to my Ying Jie\'s farm again. I will spare all of you for now, but if I saw her with one single scratch, then I will rip your mouth."

"Y—Yes, Young Master," the guards said in unison.

"Young Master, how about this woman?" The commander pointed at Li Daiyu, who was still gagged and tied on the chair.

"Just release her, let her tell stuff to my mom. I don\'t care."

Yang Menghuo went to his car, and he told his driver to return to the farm because knowing Ying Jie, it was positive that Ying Jie had returned.

\'Ying Jie… please don\'t be mad at me, or I might go crazy….\'

I returned home with my tiger. My mom and dad freaked out when they saw me suddenly popped out, covered in mud, riding a tiger. What kind of crazy stuff happened there?

"S—Shi Ying? What happened?! Where\'s your fiancee?" My mom asked from afar, afraid of the tiger. They already know that I usually tamed tigers, boars, et cetera once I reached the teenage age of sixteen. But they were still scared of it.

"Well, he had fun with his fiancee, of course," I replied with an ironic chuckle. I\'m sorry, mom, I don\'t think we can get anything from it, though. Since I threw the rose bouquet to his face and ran away."

"… but he is…" mom was about to say something, but she zipped her mouth for a moment and then changed the topic. "You should tell us later, go and wash first, Shi Ying. Also, kick that tiger away. We don\'t have meat for that tiger!"

"Awww, I\'m sorry, Miss Miao. I can\'t give you food. Go and return to the woods before my mom cooked you for dinner. You might be our next meal if you don\'t leave now, haha!"

Shi Ying jumped out from the tiger, and the tiger ran as fast as it could. Shi Ying chuckled and asked her mom, "Okay, since I\'m now free from a slag man like him, then I should celebrate by eating hot pot ah! Don\'t worry mom, I will take a bath and then buy some meat from Uncle Liao\'s store."

I walked, went to the bathroom, and took a bath to cool myself down after so many things this morning. It was already late afternoon when I reached the house and took a bath, so I guess I could just buy the hot pot for dinner. That\'d be perfect.

I washed my body that was covered with mud and brushed my teeth. I looked at myself in a small mirror in the bathroom and smiled thin, "Ah, it\'s okay, Shi Ying. Meng Bao might not like you, but he is a slag man, after all. I will stand alone and return to the city, working as hard as I could to save money, especially for Meili."

"Hmm… maybe I should let Yanyue stay in my apartment and pay the rent by half once she got a job in Beijing, hmmm…."

I dried myself and went to my room. I picked a comfortable loose old shirt and knee-length pants from a thrift store in Beijing.

I liked wearing qipao, but my fat waist really didn\'t accentuate the qipao well.

I slapped my cheeks again to make sure that I\'ve moved on from Meng Bao. I just didn\'t want to ponder something inevitable in the end. Because Meng Bao wasn\'t for me, and he was a slag man, a jerk!

I took out some money from my wallet and then walked to the front door. I saw mom was sitting at the door as if staring at someone outside.

I approached her and said, "Mom, I will buy meat now—"
