[Yang Menghuo POV]

Yang Menghuo and Li Dengjun walked away, leaving that weird guy Bai Yunyu alone. Bai Yunyu kept calling someone named Han Ye repeatedly, telling him there were two \'baddies\' hurting him.

Li Dengjun got creeped out by that guy. Even though he was a professional assassin, he never found a target that wasn\'t scared of him, not because he could fight.

But because he was weird and horny.

…

Li Dengjun shivered, but he resumed his professional nature after they were far from Bai Yunyu.

Yang Menghuo had a question in his head, mostly because Li Dengjun and Deng Jun seemed to be the same person.

Yang Menghuo was staring at the empty street, with Li Dengjun standing behind him..

"Li Dengjun, are you that guy in the rental boyfriend, Deng Jun?"

"… Yes, Young Master," Li Dengjun replied honestly. Then in a split second, Yang Menghuo turned his back and pointed an automatic handgun at Li Dengjun\'s forehead.

His face was cold, unlike the usual cutie bao that Shi Ying saw whenever they were together. He stared at Li Dengjun as if staring at dead meat instead of a human being. He was just one click away from blowing Li Dengjun\'s head off.

"You can choose to die right here, right now, or leave my Jie alone. I will not allow you to touch her," Yang Menghuo said coldly.

Li Dengjun didn\'t budge at all. He knew how cold the Young Master was. He saw it himself, how Yang Menghuo spared no pity to traitors, especially those who tried to harm him for the sake of money.

It was just a bit surprising because Young Master Yang would go this far just to protect and keep a woman. It was almost like a dragon who carefully kept his most beloved treasure and spat fire to anyone who dared to come near him and his treasure.

"Young Master, I dare not touching anything or anyone in your possession. I didn\'t know that she is your girlfriend—"

"Soon-to-be Wife," Yang Menghuo snipped to correct Li Dengjun.

"… I didn\'t know that she is your soon-to-be wife. Had I know, I will immediately cancel her order," Li Dengjun said. He kneeled dramatically and continued, "But I am responsible for accepting her order. Young Master Yang, you have picked me up from the gutter back then, I am forever indebted, so my life is yours."

"Please punish me accordingly," Li Dengjun braced himself.

Yang Menghuo sighed and put down his handgun, "Why are you doing a rental boyfriend service in the first place? Is it because the money I gave you monthly is not enough? How much do you want in dollars? Ten thousand? Fifty?"

Yang Menghuo and Li Dengjun cut off their contact for a while. This was what they would usually do after Li Dengjun or Uncle Guo assassinated someone under the order of Yang Menghuo. It was to avoid tracing from the enemy.

Both Uncle Guo and Li Dengjun were Yang Menghuo\'s skilled assassins. Uncle Guo was an ex-military soldier, while Li Dengjun was the apprentice that Yang Menghuo appointed for Uncle Guo.

"No, Young Master, my monthly salary from you is enough. I joined that Rent A Boyfriend app because I want a new experience. Besides, I want to have a girlfriend as well, Young Master."

"Ah, I thought you already have a girlfriend. Something happened?"

"Yes, Young Master, she broke up with me because she found out about my real job," Li Dengjun said. His expression looked a bit sad, maybe because he still had a feeling for that girl.

"Well, if it cannot be helped anymore, then I pray for the best to your adventure," Yang Menghuo said. He pocketed his gun again. "I still want you to do something, though, but this will be quite difficult."

"I am in your command, Young Master," Li Dengjun obeyed.

"Apparently, my soon-to-be wife had a date with someone today. But I don\'t know to with whom. I want you to be ready whenever I call you. You can\'t travel somewhere else until I can determine this person."

"I will eventually track him down somehow, and I will make sure that he pays for touching my Jie."

Li Dengjun saw a malicious smirk on Young Master Yang\'s handsome face, which was quite normal for him.

Young Master was an investor, also a business tycoon with many things under his wing. But he never used Li Dengjun\'s assassination skill carelessly.

He only killed someone when it was deemed necessary. It was to kill or be killed.

He just didn\'t expect Young Master to be this serious when protecting this woman, Shi Ying.

Li Dengjun saw the picture of Shi Ying in the profile, but he could barely remember her. Yes, she was pretty, but she wasn\'t really Li Dengjun\'s type, fortunately.

Because he couldn\'t imagine having to compete with his master.

"Young Master, may I ask something?"

"What?"

"Is this woman a serious one for you? You seem to be very repulsive of women before. I really thought that I had to prepare myself for the worst," Li Dengjun said.

…

It took Yang Menghuo a while until he realized what Li Dengjun meant by preparing himself for the worst.

Yang Menghuo shivered out of cringe as he imagined that, "You, don\'t mention that anymore. I got shiver down in my spine just thinking about it."

Yang Menghuo cleared his throat and then replied the question, "Yes, you know that I don\'t like getting entangled necessary with women. But for Ying Jie, I would gladly jump into a cliff."

"That\'s a bit of a stretch…" Li Dengjun commented softly, afraid that Young Master would hear it.

Yang Menghuo then looked at Li Dengjun full of pity, "Don\'t worry, you will find your soulmate sooner or later. But make sure that you will be the one on top. Just like me, my Jie is very obedient with me, hahaha!"

….

Right after, Yang Menghuo said that his phone rang. He checked it immediately and tensed. It was his Jie, Ying Jie.

He thought maybe he did something bad today that made his Ying Jie got angry. He tried to recall whether he did something wrong but couldn\'t find any.

Thus he answered the call, "Y—Yes, Jie?"

\'YANG MENGHUO! WHY DID YOU THROW MY PARENT\'S STOCK IN THE FREEZER?!\'

Yang Menghuo jumped slightly. He gulped and stuttered, "W—Which one? I—I just put the groceries in the fridge, Jie…"

\'Yeah, but you also threw away the stock of butter, oil, and milk that was sent by my parents! Ugh, do you know how much I like that?! It\'s from my family farm!\'

\'Wha—?! I—I don\'t know. I thought it was just some random expired milk…\'

\'EXPIRED MILK!? COME HERE, I WILL CHUG YOU AN EXPIRED MILK!\'

"Wuuu… I\'m so sorry, Jie, I really don\'t know!" Yang Menghuo begged, abandoning all his pride and power in front of his subordinate, while Li Dengjun kept staring at his cold-blooded Young Master.

…

\'Ugh, if you dare to come here tomorrow, I will throw you to the garbage can!\'

Beeeeep.

"Hello, Jie? Jieeee," Yang Menghuo paled after his Ying Jie ended the call. He stared at Li Dengjun full of anxiety, an expression that Deng Jun thought would never appear in his Young Master\'s face.

"W—What should I do? I really don\'t know it was from her parents!" Yang Menghuo became restless.

Li Dengjun heard the content of the call, so he kept pondering, \'Young Master Yang is worried over milk and butter?\'

"Should I buy a new one? Oh no, I think Ying Jie will get even angrier if I give her some store-bought milk and butter."

"Shit, I can\'t return and apologize now. Ying Jie sounds really upset," Yang Menghuo darted his eyes at Li Dengjun and asked, "Dengjun, how do you think? What should I do?"

"Master, please calm—"

"Ah, why am I asking you anyway? You\'re also a single dog! Aish!" Yang Menghuo paced back and forth and then finally decided upon something.

"I will do that!" Yang Menghuo hurriedly called his subordinate living in Switzerland. "Go and ship the best milk and butter from my farm to China! I want the best, remember, the best!"

"It\'s good, right? I will compensate my Jie for what I did. She must\'ve been upset...."

"Anyway, Li Dengjun, you can do whatever you want, just don\'t touch my Jie. I will make sure that you will pay if you ever accepted her order again."

"… Young Master, you can just tell your soon-to-be wife not to order anything from that app… isn\'t that easier to do?"

"Huh? Of course, I can\'t! What if Ying Jie got angry at me because I\'m too restrictive? I don\'t want her to get angry, especially at me! She is one fiery and lively woman!"

"I will leave now. I really need to make sure that butter and milk got carefully preserved. I may need to go to Swiss now. Goodbye."

Yang Menghuo dashed to his car and drove away quickly, leaving Li Dengjun stunned.

…

"Is that really Young Master Yang?"
