Rent A Boyfriend!
Chapter 20 - I'M NOT DESPERATE!
[Yang Menghuo POV]
Yang Menghuo was eating dust with his gaped mouth after Shi Ying dropped the bomb that she wouldn\'t hire Yang Menghuo anymore because he was simply too good looking. And Shi Ying\'s parents wouldn\'t believe them dating because of his face.
"W—What kind of alibi is that!? I\'m too good looking, so I can\'t be the fake boyfriend to meet her parents?!" Yang Menghuo stomped the ground irritated.
\'Ding! Ding! Ding!
The order has been completed! You earned 100 Yuan! There is a gift from the customer!\'
Yang Menghuo checked his phone and saw that Ying Jie gave him a bonus, a gift worth 200 Yuan with a message..
*You are a good rental boyfriend! Raise your price ah! I think you are worth 300 Yuan for the whole day!*
"HOW DARE YOU PRICING ME 300 YUAN?! THAT\'S NOT EVEN FIFTY DOLLARS!" Yang Menghuo pulled his hair frustratingly. Everyone in the bus station watched how a handsome man acted crazy.
An old man patted Yang Menghuo\'s shoulder out of nowhere and said virtuously, "Young man, did you get dumped by that woman? You are a handsome young man. I believe that woman is missing out on you. Maybe she will settle down with someone worse—"
"I KNOW RIGHT! SHE WILL DEFINITELY REGRET IF SHE DOESN\'T SETTLE DOWN WITH ME!" Yang Menghuo affirmed aggressively. He was both irritated and annoyed because he got dumped by someone so average as Ying Jie.
\'I am Yang Menghuo! Number five most desirable bachelor in the country, and that was only because I didn\'t want to take top three!\'
\'I am the young master and sole heir of Yang Group, a business empire dominating the country and branching out everywhere. I am also a self-made billionaire through investing that I didn\'t need to inherit the company since I\'m basically almost as rich as my dad.\'
\'I am also the son of Madam Evelynn Yang, a renowned editor and co-owner of VAGUE fashion magazine! How could Ying Jie dumped me like this?!\'
Yang Menghuo listed everything he had, from his appearance, wealth, and family background. He still couldn\'t accept the fact that he got dumped by Ying Jie, and he got priced less than 50 dollars for his rental boyfriend service.
This was a complete humiliation for the great Yang Menghuo!
The elderly man patted Yang Menghuo\'s shoulder again, "It\'s okay, you will find someone else. Let her settle down with another man, okay?"
"Yes! She can just find a trashy man lesser than me! I don\'t care!" Yang Menghuo said. He glanced at the elderly man and bowed his head politely, "Thank you for the advice, Grandpa."
"It\'s okay, young man. Back then, I also fell in love with someone, but she dumped me and married a man lesser than me," the elderly man said. "Now I am unmarried."
"Because you don\'t want to marry an average woman?"
"No, because I\'m impotent," the old man sighed, "It\'s okay, young man. Did she dump you because you can\'t get it up? Or because you are just bad in bed? What a pity for a handsome man like you. But I get it. No one is born perfect."
…
…
"BUT I\'M NOT IMPOTENT!" Yang Menghuo yelled loudly, which attracted the attention of many passersby.
Yang Menghuo was too ashamed to continue standing here. He walked away full of shame. But his mind was still occupied with Ying Jie.
"Hmph! She definitely misses out on me! How could she dump someone like me? I am Yang Menghuo! Even top models are chasing me left and right!" Yang Menghuo assured himself that it was Shi Ying\'s loss.
"She can just date another man. I don\'t care!" Yang Menghuo said again. But, when he said that, there was a sense of crisis in his heart. He started imagining Ying Jie hugged another man, held another man\'s hand and pinched his cheek.
He also started imagining another man sleeping on Ying Jie\'s shoulder. He started doing weird selfies with her, just like what he did in the cinema a few hours ago. He gulped nervously.
Yang Menghuo felt his sense of crisis was getting more and more irritating, and he got restless.
"Ah, damn it!" Yang Menghuo called his friend, who was the CEO of the Rent A Boyfriend app.
\'Yang-Ge! Why are you calling me right now? Is there something I can do for you?" Jinxing asked across the call. Jiang Jinxing was the heir of Jiang group, a young CEO, and a total nutcase who often made weird apps and invested in strange businesses.
But everything always worked out for him, somehow.
\'Jinxing, you know that Rent A Boyfriend app we are talking about, right?\' Menghuo asked.
\'Yes! I am the CEO of that app! You invested a lot, Yang-Ge. How can I help you?\'
\'You see, I made a joke account in that application, and someone actually ordered my service. After we finished a date, she said she doesn\'t want to hire my rental service again!\'
\'Ah… what a blind woman for her to waste our Yang-Ge! Do you want me to block her account or do something else?\' Jinxing said innocently. But Menghuo knew Jinxing and his family was really powerful with deep roots. It was more like a threat for Shi Ying.
\'No! Not that!\' Menghuo said hurriedly. \'I just want you to use whatever technology you have in your app, and…\'
\'…Make her unable to pick another rental boyfriend.\'
\'Huh? You want me to make her unable to pick another rental boyfriend? So basically, you want me to delete her account and block her forever from the account?\'
\'No, keep her account. Just forbid her to pick another rental boyfriend except me,\' Yang Menghuo said, although he felt embarrassed after saying that.
\'Make me her only choice in that application, and give her like 100% discount or something. You can also give her a prize for hiring my service again, like a bonus coin.\'
\'… Yang-Ge… you sound desperate.\'
\'I AM NOT DESPERATE!\' Yang Menghuo yelled on the phone. \'J—Just do what I said!\'
\'Okay.\'
Yang Menghuo hung up the call and glared at Shi Ying\'s smiling profile pic in her account, and he yelled again. "What are you smiling at? I am not desperate!"
Yang Menghuo was eating dust with his gaped mouth after Shi Ying dropped the bomb that she wouldn\'t hire Yang Menghuo anymore because he was simply too good looking. And Shi Ying\'s parents wouldn\'t believe them dating because of his face.
