CHAPTER 1342: CHAPTER 1341: YOU ARE MY FIANCÉ

"What’s up? Say something, is it because Uncle Liu wants to marry you a stepmother?"

Li Xiaoli stared blankly at Liu Mengting.

"Pah, you’re the one who should get a stepmother!"

Liu Mengting glared fiercely at Li Xiaoli and sighed gloomily: "My dad said my fiancé is coming, and on the 26th of this month, they’re hosting an engagement ceremony for us."

"Oh my god! This really is a big deal."

Li Xiaoli’s expression became solemn, "You’re getting engaged to a fiancé, what about Tang Ming brother? Do you expect me to be the only one responsible for flirting with Tang Ming brother? That’s such a challenging task."

"Stop your nonsense. My mind is a mess right now. Help me figure out a way."

Liu Mengting anxiously sat on the bed, "You know I’ve always disliked that fiancé and I’m firmly opposed to arranged marriages, and now with Tang Ming, there’s no way I can agree to marry a stranger."

"I understand, I understand, you already have Tang Ming brother in your heart, of course, you can’t accept another man."

Li Xiaoli nodded repeatedly, getting anxious along with her.

"Even without Tang Ming, I still can’t marry a stranger. You shouldn’t mix these things together."

Liu Mengting made a solemn declaration.

"Alright, alright, the urgent matter now is to find a way to get through this crisis."

Li Xiaoli didn’t argue back with Liu Mengting, frowning, "Where is your fiancé now? Why don’t we let Tang Ming brother go scare him off, subtly drive him away, then you won’t have to get engaged to him."

"The problem is I don’t know where he is now; according to my dad, it seems he’ll appear on the 26th, so there’s no way to deal with him in advance."

Liu Mengting sighed helplessly.

"That’s indeed a tricky situation."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoli got conflicted, "There’s no way to resolve this early; if we meet and directly proceed with the engagement, it’ll be too late to have regrets."

"That’s why I’m asking you to help me think of a plan."

Liu Mengting worriedly tussled her hair, "No matter what, I can’t marry a stranger. Even marrying Tang Ming is better than marrying that damn fiancé."

"Haha, you want to marry Tang Ming brother, but unfortunately Tang Ming brother is entirely focused on Wei’er now, and has no room for another woman."

Li Xiaoli sneered.

"Enough with the sarcasm."

Liu Mengting glared fiercely at Li Xiaoli.

"Sorry, sorry, I was wrong. Let me think of a solution."

Li Xiaoli quickly apologized and began brainstorming.

Liu Mengting looked expectantly at Li Xiaoli; when it comes to brainpower, she doesn’t think she’s lesser than Li Xiaoli, but now she can only hope Li Xiaoli helps in coming up with a solution.

"Got it!"

After a moment, Li Xiaoli lifted her head, "We can have Tang Ming brother crash the wedding."

"Crash the wedding?"

Liu Mengting was slightly stunned, "Whose wedding to crash? Have him turn my fiancé gay? Shouldn’t we have Xiao Cang run things like this?"

"Pah! I mean let Tang Ming brother crash your engagement, break your fiancé’s delusion."

Li Xiaoli rolled her eyes and said solemnly: "Since you’re so familiar with Tang Ming brother, you can then tell your fiancé and Uncle Liu that you’re already with Tang Ming brother. Considering Uncle Liu’s fondness for Tang Ming brother, he likely won’t force the two of you."

"Sounds reasonable, but on the 26th, they’re announcing my engagement to my fiancé, by then having Tang Ming step in, isn’t it too late?"

Liu Mengting worriedly furrowed her brow, "Besides, I have a marriage contract with that fiancé, I’m worried Tang Ming won’t be able to take me away."

"No worries, no worries."

Li Xiaoli smirked sinisterly, "Just publicly announce by then that you’ve slept with Tang Ming brother, I don’t believe your fiancé could tolerate that. If worse comes to worst, tell everyone you’re already pregnant with Tang Ming brother’s baby, let’s see how he reacts."

"This... is too excessive, isn’t it? Wouldn’t I be tricking myself to death?"

Frowning, Liu Mengting expressed resistance to Li Xiaoli’s suggestion.

"Do you have a better idea?"

Li Xiaoli shrugged, "Anyhow, Tang Ming brother is so mighty; even if your fiancé wants to fight, he’s no match for Tang Ming brother."

"I’m worried about my reputation; I’m still a student, how could I claim I’ve already... with Tang Ming, and even say I’m pregnant, it’s too shameful."

Liu Mengting worriedly grumbled.

"Is it your reputation that’s important, or your future happiness?"

Li Xiaoli sighed, placing an arm around Liu Mengting’s shoulders, advising with a worldly air: "Just accept it! If I’m not mistaken, once you say this, Uncle Liu will surely turn your engagement ceremony into one between you and Tang Ming brother."

"This way, you can justifiably be with Tang Ming brother and get rid of that damn fiancé; it’s a win-win, isn’t it great!"

"Great idea! But now the issue is, how do we get Tang Ming to help me?"

Liu Mengting once again found herself in a predicament.

"We need to carefully consider this."

Li Xiaoli nodded repeatedly; figuring out how to persuade Tang Ming was indeed a headache.

Tang Ming sat on the living room sofa, rubbing his stomach, continuously complaining: "Let’s eat! I’m starving, why haven’t we had lunch yet?"

"Young Master Tang, please wait a moment; I’ve already instructed the servants to prepare lunch."

Uncle Quan walked in, smiling to reassure him.

"Sorry, sorry, I’m just complaining randomly; let’s see what those two girls are doing upstairs."

Tang Ming apologized to Uncle Quan: "You don’t need to mind me, I’m just acting crazy by myself."

"Alright, then I’ll go check on how the kitchen is doing."

Uncle Quan twitched his mouth slightly, but internally he sighed deeply.

The family’s master really has a keen eye; the poor lad casually picked up on a train years ago has now become quite the influential figure.

"I’m starving to death, let’s eat fast, or I’ll die... huh!"

Tang Ming murmured to himself and suddenly saw Li Xiaoli and Liu Mengting with serious expressions descending the stairs, he quickly clammed up.

Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli with blank expressions walked over to Tang Ming, silently stared at him.

"What are you doing? I’m just complaining randomly, it’s not like you should stare at me with such poisonous looks, right?"

Tang Ming grabbed a pillow from the sofa and put it in front of his chest, cautiously looking at Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli.

"Remember, you’re my fiancé."

After a moment, Liu Mengting solemnly spoke.

"What?"

Tang Ming looked puzzled, uncertainly staring at Liu Mengting: "You already know?"
