My Co-renting Lady Boss

"Ha, he took your money; you can even ask him to say you look like Batman."

Li Xiaoli chuckled and smirked.

Truly, Tang Ming had never made a good impression on either of them before, so no one really saw him as a handsome guy.

It's no wonder, where could there be a handsome guy who devours a meal meant for five people like a whirlwind! Handsome pot, perhaps.

By eleven o'clock at night, Li Xiaoli was feeling sleepy, so the three of them got into the car and dropped Li Xiaoli off at home first.

Li Xiaoli lived in a luxury apartment nearby, not far from the Liu family villa. Her parents were abroad, and she had a brother who rarely came home due to work.

After reaching home, Li Xiaoli waved to Liu Mengting as she got out of the car and cheerfully said, "Meng Meng, have sweet dreams tonight."

"Yes, you too,"

Liu Mengting replied with a smile.

Back at the villa, Uncle Quan saw Tang Ming in a completely different outfit and was instantly surprised, "Tang Ming really cleans up well, you see, with this get-up, he looks totally different, much more handsome."

"Uncle Quan, I was quite handsome before too, wasn't I?"

Tang Ming glanced at Uncle Quan discontentedly and said narcissistically, "It's just that I possess natural beauty; you just don't appreciate it."

Uncle Quan chuckled and nodded, thinking that this kid really had thick skin, but if he were thin-skinned, he probably couldn't handle the young lady's princess temper.

"Alright, you guys rest up, and don't make any noise at night, I need absolute silence to sleep."

Liu Mengting said authoritatively and then went upstairs. Upon reaching the third floor, she took out her iPhone from the drawer and directly called her dad.

Her dad was only free at midnight; usually, he was very busy, so this was the only time Liu Mengting could have a good chat with him.

"Dad, it's Meng Ting."

Once the call connected, Liu Mengting immediately started to complain,

"Why did you get a country boy to protect me? Moreover, he's a grown man staying in my villa, are you really okay with that?"

"Honey, the person Dad picked for you has been thoroughly investigated. Don't worry; Tang Ming's character is definitely not an issue, and besides, he can not only protect you but also help you solve a lot of trouble at school! Didn't you often say that a classmate keeps bothering you? Ask Tang Ming to handle it; I believe he will make you satisfied."

Liu Gaoze spoke sincerely but felt internally that Tang Ming was after all your fiancé, so even if he did something out of line, it was all reasonable. The real trouble would be if he insisted on calling off the engagement!

Chen Younian was his alias. Although Liu Group seemed prestigious in Songlan City, there were still many competitors eyeing them. Once news leaked about Liu Gaoze's deteriorating health, it would be a perfect opportunity for the rivals to strike.

Thus, whenever he went for medical treatments, he used a different name. Luckily, Tang Ming had only seen the name on the medical records and had no suspicions that he was Liu Mengting's father, and was taken in completely.

"Okay, I'll let him try, but if he can't handle it, no matter his skills, I won't use him."

Liu Mengting really couldn't understand why her cautious and protective father would trust Tang Ming so much!

"Could he be Dad's illegitimate child?"

Liu Mengting suddenly thought of a plot often seen in dramas and immediately drifted into her imagination.

"Alright, honey, Dad has things to take care of, you should go to sleep. Tomorrow I'll have someone arrange the enrollment procedures for Tang Ming."

Liu Gaoze finished the conversation and hung up the phone.

At that moment, sitting across from him was a man in his thirties, Liu Gaoze's trusted assistant and driver, Liu Fei.

"Chairman Liu, that Tang Ming is Mengting's fiancé, right?"

Previously, it had been Liu Fei who drove Liu Gaoze and Tang Ming from the train station back home.

Liu Gaoze nodded, "Yes, this kid rode the same high-speed train with me and straight away told me he wanted to break off the engagement with Mengting! Of course, I had to stabilize him first. Now, let him spend some time with Mengting; young people living together will eventually develop feelings."

"So, that's how it is. Director Liu secretly went to the provincial city for a health check-up, and even brought back Meng Ting's fiancé. It seems it was all destined."

Liu Fei laughed and cracked a joke after hearing this.

The next morning, bright and early, Uncle Quan knocked on Tang Ming's door.

Groggy-eyed, Tang Ming opened the door to see Uncle Quan. "Uncle Quan, why are you looking for me so early?"

"The sir instructed me to let you know that later when you go to school, someone will assist you with the enrollment process. You need to subtly protect the young miss's safety while at school."

Uncle Quan said with a grave expression on his face.

"Alright, I'm her bodyguard, so of course I will protect Miss Liu's safety! By the way, are we having breakfast at home or going out?"

Woken up early, Tang Ming felt hungry again and yawned as he asked.

Uncle Quan was speechless, this guy was really a glutton—almost all of last night's meal was eaten by him alone. How could he be hungry again? How does his stomach even digest so much food?

"Breakfast will, of course, be at home. Everything is prepared, just waiting for the young miss to wake up."

After finishing, Uncle Quan went straight downstairs to prepare—obviously, multiple servings!

Knowing he had to accompany Liu Mengting to school later, Tang Ming realized he couldn't sleep anymore, so he headed to the bathroom to wash up and brush his teeth.

In the bathroom, toiletries were fully stocked; there were several varieties of toothpaste alone and drawers full of toothbrushes, towels, and shower gels!

After washing up, Tang Ming went straight downstairs to the living room. The dining room was busy with lots of servants coming and going, carrying food.

There were soy milk and dough sticks, Western breakfasts, and a dazzling array of desserts, as well as milk and various freshly squeezed fruit juices.

Looking at the full table, Tang Ming's appetite surged, almost wishing he could twist Liu Mengting out of bed and drag her here.

After waiting a whole ten minutes, Liu Mengting came downstairs drowsily. Tang Ming was instantly delighted, finally, it was time to eat.

Once they both were seated, a maid stood behind Liu Mengting to help her comb her hair. Tang Ming curiously watched, thinking to himself that rich people's daughters are indeed impressive!

Liu Mengting gave Tang Ming a glare, somewhat displeased, "Why are you staring while I'm getting my hair combed? Eat your breakfast."

"Oh."

Once Tang Ming heard it was finally time for breakfast, he became very happy and was about to dive in.

"Hey, don't touch my fried egg sandwich and ham, and leave me a glass of juice too. Otherwise, you, the glutton, will eat it all in a minute."

Remembering Tang Ming's capabilities, Liu Mengting quickly pointed out a few items in front of her.

"So, you mean I can go for the rest?"

Tang Ming asked uncertainly.

"Sure, stuff yourself."

Knowing his appetite, Liu Mengting said resentfully.

Not caring about anything else, Tang Ming simply pulled the rest of the breakfast closer to him and began eating rapidly, soon leaving only the items Liu Mengting mentioned.

"You really can eat! How is your stomach made, fitting so much?"

Liu Mengting stared at Tang Ming in astonishment as if she had just seen the monster Shrek!

At 7:30 in the morning, the driver was waiting at the gate on time.

Liu Mengting walked out wearing a chic little western dress, with pretty hair clips in her hair.

Tang Ming's outfit was much simpler—a pair of sweatpants and a short-sleeved athletic shirt, all from domestic top brands. Of course, in the eyes of little princess Liu Mengting, she wouldn't consider buying copycat brands!
