The Malevolent Female Villain Turns Out to Be Me

The first thing to do after getting the marriage certificate was, naturally, to show off their love on social media.

Ye Wanwan and He Junting took a selfie holding their red booklets and posted it on their social media accounts with the same caption:

"For the rest of our lives, we have each other."

Soon, the comments section was filled with surprised congratulations.

Within minutes, Xiao Jinmeng's call came through.

Ye Wanwan answered, hearing Xiao Jinmeng's voice filled with envy and a hint of complaint.

"Wanwan~ I can't believe you and Junting got married behind my back! I'm no longer your favorite little darling. You two better be ridiculously happy!"

Ye Wanwan chuckled, "Mengmeng, thank you. But when are you and Shu Ning getting married? You should hurry up!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jinmeng felt a bit dejected. "Shu Ning hasn't mentioned getting married again. I don't know how to bring it up. Wanwan, you don't think he's being a jerk, do you?"

Ye Wanwan laughed, "Mengmeng, I'm sure Shu Ning has his own plans. Why don't you try to get him talking and see what he says?"

Xiao Jinmeng thought it over and agreed. If Shu Ning wasn't planning to marry her, she'd dump him! Hmph!

Meanwhile, when Shi Shuning saw He Junting's post, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

"This guy went and got married to Wanwan without saying a word? No way, I need to step up my game too."

Just then, a message from Xiao Jinmeng came through.

Meng Meng Not Fat: Shu Ning, Wanwan and Junting got married. It's so sudden!

Slightly Sweet Lemon: I saw that too. It is quite sudden.

Xiao Jinmeng frowned at Shi Shuning's reply. Is that all he has to say?

Meng Meng Not Fat: Shu Ning, don't you want to say anything else?

Slightly Sweet Lemon: Well, I wish them happiness!

!!! He really is a jerk! I'm not talking to him anymore!!!

Xiao Jinmeng stopped replying, flopping onto her bed and burying her head under the covers.

"Ugh, Shi Shuning, you jerk! You bastard! I'm never talking to you again!"

"If you don't want to get married, fine! I don't want to marry you either. I can go flirt with other handsome guys and find someone a thousand, no, ten thousand times better than you! Hmph!"

But despite her words, she was completely under Shi Shuning's spell.

Xiao Jinmeng had truly decided to ignore Shi Shuning. When he messaged her, she pretended not to see it.

When he tried video calling, she acted like she hadn't received it.

This went on until the day of Xiao Jinmeng's graduation photo shoot. Shi Shuning came to her school, and Xiao Jinmeng, wearing her graduation gown, gave him the cold shoulder.

Shi Shuning knew why she was upset. He found it a bit amusing, but he had his own plan, so he didn't explain. Instead, he boldly turned her face towards him and kissed her lips.

At first, Xiao Jinmeng struggled, but Shi Shuning's kissing skills were top-notch. Before long, Xiao Jinmeng had melted.

When the kiss ended, Xiao Jinmeng collapsed in his arms, tears welling up as she regretted how easily she'd given in. Her little fists pummeled his chest aimlessly.

Shi Shuning chuckled, his arms tightening around Xiao Jinmeng.

"Mengmeng, I love you so much."

Xiao Jinmeng felt hurt inside and snorted coldly, "Hmph, I don't want to talk to you!"

"Mengmeng, do you want to marry me?"

"No!"

"Really? You're not lying to me?"

"Really! I'm a dog if I'm lying!"

Shi Shuning responded with a hint of disappointment, "Alright then. In that case, let me take you somewhere."

Xiao Jinmeng's heart ached. Was this a farewell before breaking up? Her eyes instantly reddened. Shi Shuning really was a jerk, a scumbag!

Shi Shuning held Xiao Jinmeng's hand and started walking. Xiao Jinmeng didn't resist, moving forward step by step as if in a daze.

As they walked, a girl from their class ran up and gave her a rose. "Happy graduation, Class Monitor Mengmeng." Then she ran off.

Xiao Jinmeng thought it was just classmates wishing each other well before leaving school. She felt a bit inadequate as class monitor for not preparing gifts for her classmates.

Later, another male classmate and his girlfriend came up and gave her a rose. "Class Monitor Mengmeng, stay happy~"

Then various classmates, both familiar and unfamiliar, came to give her flowers. The single rose in her hand turned into a large bouquet, barely held in both hands without falling.

Xiao Jinmeng was bewildered, "Am I really this popular?"

Shi Shuning watched her confused expression, his eyes full of tenderness. The next second, the sound of party poppers went off with a "bang bang bang" beside her ears.

Xiao Jinmeng was startled. She looked up to see confetti falling from the sky and the classmates who had just given her flowers now holding heart-shaped pink balloons, smiling at her.

She turned to look at Shi Shuning, but the person who had been by her side was nowhere to be seen.

Xiao Jinmeng's heart started racing. Ye Wanwan ran up with a smile, linked arms with Xiao Jinmeng, and led her through the crowd.

In the next moment, a vast sea of roses appeared before her eyes. Also present were both sets of parents, her brother, her sister, Shu Ning's parents, Shu An and Yan, and Junting.

Ye Wanwan let go of Xiao Jinmeng's arm, took the roses from her hands, and returned to He Junting's side.

Shi Shuning walked towards her from the opposite side, holding a small box in his left hand and a bouquet made of lollipops in his right.

Xiao Jinmeng's heart was pounding. Was this what she thought it was?

Her already teary eyes reddened even more.

The man slowly walked up to her, placed the lollipop bouquet in Xiao Jinmeng's hands, then knelt down on one knee. He opened the small box in his hand, revealing a dazzling diamond ring that caught the sunlight.

Xiao Jinmeng couldn't help but cover her face as she looked at the man kneeling before her.

"Mengmeng, I'm sorry for making you upset these past few days. I've been preparing for this proposal for a long time. I wanted everyone to witness our love. It was wrong of me to keep it a secret from you. I'll accept any punishment you want to give me later."

"Mengmeng, will you marry me? I want to take care of you for a lifetime, love you for a lifetime, take you to eat your way across the country, and make you the happiest little foodie in the world."

"Marry him! Marry him!"

"Say yes! Say yes!"

The crowd around them started chanting. Xiao Jinmeng, her face red, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Xiao Jinmeng couldn't believe that Shi Shuning had actually prepared a surprise for her, especially since she had just told him she wouldn't marry him and even joked about tricking him like a puppy.

With tears in her eyes, Xiao Jinmeng looked at Shi Shuning, who was down on one knee, his face a mix of nervousness and anticipation. In a moment of impulse, she blurted out a couple of "Woof, woof" sounds.

The entire place fell silent for a moment, then erupted into cheers once again.

Shi Shuning was highly amused by Xiao Jinmeng's unexpected reaction, his body shaking as he tried to hold back his laughter.

Feeling embarrassed, Xiao Jinmeng lowered her head without saying a word. She simply extended her left hand, signaling Shi Shuning to put the ring on her finger.

The crowd's cheers grew even louder. Fearing she might change her mind, Shi Shuning quickly slipped the ring onto her ring finger with trembling hands. He then immediately stood up, embraced her, and kissed her passionately.

Ye Wanwan watched the kissing couple, her eyes welling up with tears. How wonderful, she thought, wishing them both a lifetime of happiness together.
