My Co-renting Lady Boss
Chapter 1343 - 1342: Can’t Make Sense of It
CHAPTER 1343: CHAPTER 1342: CAN’T MAKE SENSE OF IT
Tang Ming was startled, could it be that Liu Gaoze already told Liu Mengting that he’s her fiancé, and didn’t even give him a heads-up?
"That’s right! From now on, Brother Tang Ming is Meng Meng’s fiancé, and you even have a baby already."
Li Xiaoli immediately chimed in.
"Pfft! What nonsense is this?"
Hearing this, Tang Ming almost bit off his tongue, exclaiming defensively, "I haven’t even touched her, where did the baby come from?"
"Oh come on, we’re just pretending."
Li Xiaoli laughed and explained, "Meng Meng’s fiancé is coming to Songlan on the 26th of this month to have the engagement ceremony with Meng Meng."
"And then what?"
Tang Ming was completely puzzled.
"Then naturally, Meng Meng doesn’t want to marry that fiancé, so we came up with a plan to have you pretend to be a couple with Meng Meng, and even pretend to have a baby together."
Li Xiaoli explained with a sly smile, "This way, when that fiancé shows up, Meng Meng can just say she’s going to marry Brother Tang Ming, and send him packing."
"Tang Ming, I’m asking for your help this time. From now on, you’re my man, and on the 26th, attend as my fiancé and drive that stupid fiancé away."
Liu Mengting pleaded while staring at Tang Ming.
"Brother Tang Ming, you’ve helped so many people be their shield, now it’s Meng Meng’s turn, you can’t refuse, okay?"
Li Xiaoli also started to purposely guilt-trip Tang Ming.
Tang Ming was confused, as he was originally Liu Mengting’s fiancé, so why did he have to pretend to be her fiancé again?
Liu Mengting wanted to send the fiancé away, but was she asking him to help, or was she trying to get rid of him?
"Wait a minute, my head is spinning."
Tang Ming waved his hand, seriously looking at Liu Mengting: "I am your fiancé, you..."
"Yes, that’s the feeling. On that day, in front of everyone, you just announce that you’re my fiancé."
Liu Mengting nodded repeatedly.
"Sis, what I mean is, I am the fiancé who’s supposed to get engaged to you."
Tang Ming argued, speechless.
"Exactly! I want to get engaged to you, not that other fiancé. You’re really getting into character, I’m satisfied."
Liu Mengting laughed.
"How can you not understand? I’m the fiancé supposed to have the engagement ceremony with you on the 26th."
Tang Ming shouted in frustration.
"Oh, come on, Brother Tang Ming, stop repeating yourself. Just like you said, on the 26th you’re Meng Meng’s fiancé, and that guy with the engagement is getting lost."
Li Xiaoli laughed and chimed in.
"You two sit down, let’s straighten this out."
Tang Ming was totally confused.
"What else don’t you get?"
Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli sat hand in hand across from Tang Ming, looking at him uncertainly.
"Calm down, let me finish speaking and you’ll understand."
Tang Ming took a deep breath, calming his emotions: "Actually I am Liu Mengting’s fiancé, we’re supposed to have our engagement ceremony on the 26th of this month, do you understand?"
Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli stared blankly at Tang Ming, silent.
"Do you understand or not?"
Seeing the two women remain silent, Tang Ming asked, not kindly.
"Yes, that’s what we just told you, right? You’re the fiancé supposed to get engaged to me on the 26th, but is there something you don’t understand?"
Liu Mengting looked at Tang Ming with confusion.
"I..."
Tang Ming almost spat blood, rolling his eyes, "Forget it, forget it, I’m too lazy to explain, you’ll understand on that day."
"So it’s settled then, you can’t back out, you must show up on the 26th to help me deal with that fiancé."
Liu Mengting looked at Tang Ming with a tense face.
"Just let me die."
Tang Ming closed his eyes in despair, wondering why he couldn’t make these two women understand.
"Alright, finally got it settled."
Li Xiaoli clapped her hands with a smile: "Let’s hurry up and eat. After lunch, we need to continue studying."
"Tang Ming, if you have some time now, you should study hard too. After all, the college entrance exams are coming up soon."
Liu Mengting asked with concern.
"Got it, I only need a couple of days of studying to get into a good university, you two should worry about yourselves more."
Tang Ming yawned, replying half-heartedly.
"This show-off is top-notch, we’re impressed."
Recalling Tang Ming’s amazing study skills, Li Xiaoli had to admit defeat.
"Miss, Officer Lin Xue is here to visit."
At that moment, Uncle Quan came in.
"Why is Sister Lin Xue here?"
Li Xiaoli wondered: "Seems like we haven’t seen Sister Lin Xue for a long time."
"Uncle Quan, prepare an extra set of tableware, we should have Sister Lin Xue stay for dinner."
Liu Mengting considered for a moment and then instructed with a smile.
"Alright."
Uncle Quan nodded, then went to open the door for Lin Xue.
Lin Xue, dressed in her police uniform, entered the villa hall, instinctively surveying the area.
"Officer, are you here as a guest or to catch a thief?"
Seeing Lin Xue’s habitual demeanor, Tang Ming replied listlessly.
"Sorry, occupational habit."
Lin Xue gave an awkward smile.
"Sister Lin Xue, long time no see, you’re getting prettier."
Li Xiaoli warmly greeted her.
"You’ve also gotten... bigger."
Lin Xue observed Li Xiaoli, this girl’s chest was really something, it seemed to have grown even larger since the last time they met.
"Oh please, I didn’t want them to get this big."
Li Xiaoli pouted in frustration, pulling Lin Xue over to the sofa area to greet Liu Mengting.
"Hello, Sister Lin Xue."
Liu Mengting also warmly exchanged pleasantries with Lin Xue.
Then the three women sat together, chatting away, completely ignoring the main character, Tang Ming.
"Three women make a play."
Tang Ming smirked and looked out the window with a sense of irony: "Wei’er is still the best, she’ll always see me as the center no matter where or when."
"Mengting, Xiaoli, you two have fun by yourselves first. I need to talk to Tang Ming."
After a while, Lin Xue instructed meaningfully.
"Alright, we understand."
Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli nodded repeatedly, then took their books and went to study, knowing well that Lin Xue was definitely here for Tang Ming.
"Are you alright?"
Lin Xue asked Tang Ming with concern.
"I’m great! Eating, drinking, and having a good time. Thanks for asking."
Tang Ming adjusted his clothes and sincerely thanked her.
"I heard about what happened in the Imperial City, and even rushed back there to meet you, but unfortunately, our timing was off."
Lin Xue sighed regretfully.
