Falling Dreams, Rising Hopes: Saving Mr. Boyfriend

Mei Qingyang's dishes were served soon and the server excused himself once he made sure that the two people would not need anything else.

It seemed like the two people sitting at the table opposite to each other were not very compatible. The guy looked shrewd. On the other hand, the girl looked like a ball of fury, burning in fire over anything the guy said. Was the guy right or just delusional in calling this a date? But then, the server did not have right to judge. He would just go and tell his mistress about the happenings in this room.

"What did you say? She practically sold herself for some favor from that bastard Want Hao?" Su Lang bumped his fists on the table loudly when he heard from Chen Jie what was going on. Why would she not tell him anything?

Today, when he had asked her the question, she had brushed him aside saying she had to hurry up and complete this mission. He couldn't ask much then because she would just not give him the time.

If he had known something like this was going on, he would have never allowed her.

Chen Jie and Su Lang were also having dinner at the time. Chen Jie played with the shrimp in her plate.

"I think you should trust her more. Now that you know the context, don't you understand what she was talking about today during the lunch?" Chen Jie was just an observer. She would not meddle in any of the cases like these. However, she was also fed up with this brutal system of the school. And she wholeheartedly supported Mei Qingyang's endeavors. It took serious oppression for rebellion. And Mei Qingyang was just that person who could take over this task.

Otherwise, Chen Jie herself was too privileged to even think about going against Yu Rong. She would have to think about their business relationship and whatnot. On the other hand, Mei Qingyang by herself. As long as she could separate herself from the emotions and humans around her, and keep that goal in her mind all the time, there was nothing she could not achieve.

"Still, we are dealing with Wang Hao here. However much she is capable, that bastard is definitely a cunning person. He will definitely have a trick or two up his sleeve," Su Lang was very concerned. Yu Tian was also not here to stop her. Did he not know about it?

No way! Did she tell him or not? He needed to call him right away.

"Lang," the phone was received as soon as Su Lan dialed the number.

"Bro, do you know what your girlfriend is doing right now?" Su Lang hurriedly tried telling him everything. But before he could even start the story, he was cut off by his friend.

"Whatever she is doing, she will handle it. Did you call me just for that?" Yu Tian replied coolly. That meant, he knew?

"Are you annoyed at me while your girlfriend is enjoying a date with Wang Hao?" Su Lang decided to put oil in the fire. How would this issue pick his interest otherwise?

Yu Tian clenched his teeth. He knew exactly what she was doing. She had already told him on that day about her deal. He had been reluctant at first but had given in once again when she assured him that nothing bad would happen.

Unfortunately, he wasn't even in the campus to help her out. All he could do was believe in her.

"I am aware. Don't worry she can do it," his voice softened on her mention. Su Lang was moved by their faith in each other. She could just be cheating on him but she also made sure to communicate her plan properly to him. He had seen numerous couples in his life but this was first one which was so communicative. He prayed for them to never separate and then continued the conversation.

"So, what is up with you? Qing Qing said you would be unreachable?"

"I have only one number with me right now, which is yours. I know you would not call me if not urgent," there was a similar bond of trust and understanding between these two friends. Su Lang smiled at his words. This guy had become more expressive. He could not imagine the Yu Tian a few months ago saying something like this.

"Fine, fine. You knew I would contact you only if she was involved. You are not worried about me but your little girlfriend. I get it. I will go and worry about her alone," Su Lang was about to put down his phone.

"Lang!" he heard from the other side.

He brought the phone once again to his ear.

"Take care of yourself and her too," then he cut the call. Su Lang was flabbergasted. What was this emo Yu Tian? This change was too much!

Chen Jie had a laugh in her eyes. Boys, she shrugged.

"And right about now, Mr. Wang, the liquor should kick in," Mei Qingyang smiled, with the glass of juice in her hand. Wang Hao widened his eyes. He had gotten alcohol mixed into her drinks too, why was she okay and only him becoming intoxicated?

"Did you mix anything?" he spoke through slurs. He was so drunk that he could not even speak properly. His head was buzzing and he was feeling drowsy.

"Haha, you are not the only one who can mix drugs. I know you mixed alcohol in my juice. Unfortunately for you, I had already taken all the anti-dotes I could take. Nothing is gonna affect me," she spoke, relishing another sip from her glass.

"You…," he could not find any words.

"I told you, one night. It doesn't matter how we spend it right? You can go to sleep and I can do my work. It is still spending night together, right?" she smirked. Wang Hao's eyes were closing. He saw the image of the girl laughing through his blurry eyes. What was going on? He only had two glasses. He had quite much capacity after several years of drinking because of his master's circle.

And she was talking about some drug! What drug? He had so many questions but his brain had stopped functioning at this moment. However, his vision got really clear suddenly. He moved his eyes, he could see the girl sitting, and then the surroundings were the same too.

"Oh, this is the wanted effect. Nice! By the way, you can speak too. Only thing you cannot do it move your limbs. I got a custom drug for you," Mei Qingyang grinned. What the hell?

"What do you mean by custom?" Wang Hao spoke and was surprised that his voice was coming out of his mouth. A second ago, he could not even utter a few words or form a coherent sentence. Why was everything clear so suddenly.

"Nuh uh Mr. Wang. I am the one who asks questions. It's not your turn yet."

"Hmph, if you do this, are you any different from Yu Rong? Who do you think you are anyway?"

"Let's just say you are my hostage at this moment. If you spill some dirty secrets of your master, however, I might let you go," Mei Qingyang clapped her hands. The door opened and the same server who had served them food came inside with a whip in his hand.

"I heard Yu Rong likes to use her whip a lot, especially on you. Do you really enjoy this?" she opened the brand new whip in her hand and untangled it to reveal a shiny long tail to the equally shiny handle. Wang Hao's eyes became fearful. Was this girl going to do the same thing as her? He had also used the whip on this girl when she was imprisoned by Yu Rong. Would she take revenge for that?

"So? What's your choice then?" she asked once again.

"You… you can't do this. This is practically kidnapping. What if I tell Yu Rong about it?" his fear got expressed through his trembling voice.

"Oh you can certainly do that. But, one, would she really believe you? Two, if she does, you can't even defeat a frail girl like me, what's the use of having you as an assistant? Most importantly, would you even be willing to let go of your image?"

"I guess you will have to make excuses after tonight, to deny her advances. What will you do?" Mei Qingyang was really enjoying this. She was not going to do anything to him, it was just a scaring tactic. More importantly, she just needed some information about some proofs that she could gather. Only then this would be considered a successful night.

"If I tell you some unrevealed information, would you let me go?"

"If you give me proof about whatever you are going to tell me, sure. I need to make sure that you are telling the truth," the girl smiled amicably but she looked like a goddess from hell to Wang Hao. He swore he would never get tangled with this girl. She was beyond him. In a span of five months, she had gotten even the mysterious owners of Moonlight Bar on her side to help her like this!

"Okay, I will help you out," he finally admitted defeat.
