My Co-renting Lady Boss

"If you don't believe it then forget it, but I can't do this bodyguard gig, I'm leaving."

Tang Ming lifted his leg, ready to leave.

"No way, how can you be so unreliable, not keeping the promises you made?"

Liu Mengting's smile faded, her expression becoming stern.

"I got tricked into this by your dad, he's the one without credibility!"

That uncle seemed decent enough, but who would've thought he'd pull such a shady move, just as bad as the old man back home!

"Are you scared my fiancé is tougher than you and will beat you to a pulp, so you're chickening out?"

Liu Mengting looked down on Tang Ming with contempt, taunting him deliberately.

"Your fiancé is me, what's there to be scared of?"

Tang Ming curled his lip but then suddenly remembered, wasn't he here to call off the engagement? If his fiancée had appeared, why was he still leaving?

"Changed your mind about leaving?"

Seeing Tang Ming's hesitation, Liu Mengting thought her plan had succeeded.

"Of course, I want to leave, but I have something to tell you."

Tang Ming straightened up, full of confidence, and spoke word by word!

"I, Tang Ming, want to break off my engagement with you Liu Mengting!"

"Breaking off the engagement? Stop kidding, will you? I can hardly take any more laughter."

Seeing Tang Ming's serious demeanor, Liu Mengting couldn't help but burst into laughter, it was too funny!

"Meng Ting, I think this bodyguard of yours is not bad, even tells jokes to cheer you up, helping relieve your boredom."

Li Xiaoli also giggled and clapped along.

"Forget it, it's no use explaining to you! I quit, is that not enough for you?"

Seeing these two silly girls didn't believe him, Tang Ming felt depressed and was about to leave again.

"Oh, so you've met with Uncle Quan, haven't you?"

Liu Mengting suddenly dropped her smile and looked at Tang Ming seriously.

"I did."

Tang Ming didn't know what this girl was up to, but seeing her suddenly change her expression wasn't a good sign!

"And you signed the contract, didn't you?"

Liu Mengting asked with a sly grin.

Tang Ming was startled, and after thinking carefully, he realized he had indeed signed some contract, though he hadn't paid it much attention.

"Of course, I signed it! But even though I've signed the contract, if you want me to leave, I won't stop you. But this counts as a breach of contract, so pay me a million in damages."

Seeing Tang Ming's expression, Liu Mengting immediately puffed out her chest with pride, grinning as she held out her hand.

"What? A million?"

Tang Ming's face changed slightly, he felt his pockets, not a single hundred, let alone a million!

"Right, a million. Just pay the million in damages, and you're free to go."

Liu Mengting pointed toward the front door with a triumphant smile.

"I don't have a million, is there any other way?"

Tang Ming became anxious, thinking bitterly that he'd even accept a meat compensation!

But he didn't dare speak those words out loud, afraid of getting entangled!

"There is, keep being my bodyguard! I'm still counting on you to take care of that dreadful fiancé of mine!"

Liu Mengting laughed triumphantly and, without waiting for Tang Ming's reply, waved Li Xiaoli over, "Xiaoli, let's go."

"Meng Meng, are you really planning to keep him as your bodyguard?"

Li Xiaoli was a bit puzzled. Tang Ming looked so ordinary, dressed so outdated, plus that foolish hairstyle, he was just exasperating to look at.

"Yes! Oh Xiaoli, I had you come to help me lay down some rules for Tang Ming. Now tell me, how should we keep him in line?"

Liu Mengting suddenly remembered the main reason she had asked Li Xiaoli to come.

"That's easy! Let's talk in the living room, I'm parched after standing outside for so long."

Li Xiaoli ran towards the villa, then ordered the servants to bring some beverages.

"Tang Ming, you come too, we have something to discuss with you!"

Liu Mengting didn't look back as she greeted him and then followed Li Xiaoli into the villa.

"I don't even know how long it'll take until it's not considered a breach of contract, I've really been duped! To think Tang Ming, with a lifetime of fame, didn't see that old man and Uncle conspiring against me?"

Tang Ming felt depressed inside, but he was a man of principle; since the contract couldn't be broken, he had to steel himself and carry on!

So, Tang Ming could only follow Liu Mengting into the villa with a despondent face.

The spacious living room was resplendently furnished, with a huge crystal chandelier hanging in mid-air, and the ornamental carvings and wallpapers were full of European royal style!

Each piece of furniture in the house was also imported from Europe, each one valuable.

Li Xiaoli lounged on the duchess chair, her snow-white, jade-like legs crossed over the edge of the sofa, even her toenails painted with delicate polish against her fair skin, looking mischievously cute!

She was holding a glass of juice in her hand, apparently a frequent visitor to Liu Mengting's house, so she treated it like her own home.

"Xiaoli, why are you drinking my papaya juice?"

Liu Mengting cried out upon seeing the juice in Li Xiaoli's hand.

"Is this papaya juice? I couldn't even tell."

Li Xiaoli put down the cup, frightened.

"I've been trying to slim down my bust lately, I can't drink papaya! Meng Meng sis, you drinking papaya juice, could it be you want to get bigger?"

As she spoke, Li Xiaoli pointed at Liu Mengting with a naughty smile.

"Stop pointing! There's a guest, try to be a bit more ladylike."

Liu Mengting glanced at Tang Ming, hinting with her eyes.

"I've always been very ladylike, okay?"

Li Xiaoli deliberately put on a cutesy, coquettish voice.

Tang Ming shook his head, thinking to himself: She's already great as she is, yet she wants them bigger, women are never satisfied.

However, compared to this walking high-beam, Liu Mengting really had no advantage, with a body-obsessed best friend, no wonder she'd want an upgrade.

"Xiaoli, how shall we set some rules for Tang Ming?"

Liu Mengting sat down next to Li Xiaoli on the sofa, taking a sip of the papaya juice from her hand.

Tang Ming had been standing for a while and wanted to rest, but before his behind could touch the sofa, Li Xiaoli's sharp voice gave him a start!

"Tang Ming, remember your place! It's fine for the master to sit, but you're a bodyguard, you should remain standing."

Li Xiaoli glared at Tang Ming as she chastised him.

"Alright, I'll stand."

Tang Ming planned to work just enough to not breach the contract and leave, no longer having to endure this treatment!

Liu Mengting originally thought Li Xiaoli was being a bit too harsh, what if they scared away this divine man?

But seeing Tang Ming accepted without complaint, she refrained from saying more, though her gaze signaled Li Xiaoli not to be too hard on him.

"The third floor is Meng Meng sis's room, normally even her dad isn't allowed up there without permission, and naturally, neither are you. That's the first rule, make sure you remember it!"

Li Xiaoli's eyes sparkled as she began to lay down the law!

She often stayed over at Liu Mengting's and knew these habits well!

The third floor was Liu Mengting's forbidden land, off-limits to any male.

"Alright."

Tang Ming didn't object, it was a girl's room after all, he naturally wouldn't go there without reason.

"The second rule, you mustn't make noise at night in the villa, Meng Meng sis likes it quiet. If you want to watch TV or movies, please use headphones in your room."

Li Xiaoli stood up from the duchess chair and said with her hands behind her back.

"Alright."

Tang Ming didn't have any particular nighttime hobbies, so he naturally wouldn't make any noise.

"The most important is the third rule! You mustn't have any improper thoughts about Meng Meng sis, not even in your dreams."

Li Xiaoli suddenly approached Tang Ming, staring him down with wide eyes, the distance between them less than half a meter!

A pair of lethal weapons almost burst forth, nearly touching Tang Ming's face!

"Uh, I promise to have no improper thoughts about her, not even in dreams."

Tang Ming, planning to annul his marriage contract with Liu Mengting, of course wouldn't have such thoughts!

But Li Xiaoli's ample chest was honestly getting his blood boiling!
