“Danger? Hmph , you’re not good to me now just because you have pursued me, right?” Chen Mengyan immediately became angry. “How did you climb from downstairs to the upstairs of my dormitory? You can even climb up that, and not go rock climbing?”
Zhao Sisi told Chen Mengyan about Yang Ming’s parkour, so Chen Mengyan remembered that Yang Ming’s skill was extraordinary… Moreover, rock climbing was much simpler than climbing a building. There were even safety measures below.
Therefore, Chen Mengyan naturally felt that Yang Ming didn’t value her anymore. People usually won’t cherish something that was too easy to obtain…
Now, I haven’t done it [1] yet with Yang Ming but he has already begun to be less diligent on me than before. If I have done that with him, wouldn’t he just throw me aside?
Chen Mengyan became angrier the more she thought about it. No wonder she would think so. During the past, in high school, Yang Ming was obedient to her and now… Ai, Chen Mengyan shook her head. It really followed the saying, before having the relations.h.i.+p, the girl would gain an advantage over the boy, but after having the relations.h.i.+p, it was just the opposite!
Yang Ming heard Chen Mengyan’s words and he realized it was bad. How can I forget about this incident? With the relations.h.i.+p between Chen Mengyan and Zhao Sisi, Zhao Sisi would definitely tell Chen Mengyan that she saw me climbing the wall that day!
And I have already used all sorts of excuses. It would be strange if Chen Mengyan didn’t get mad! Thinking of this, Yang Ming could only force himself to say, “Fine. I will give you a pair of necklaces. I shall not be afraid of danger and move forward!”
“That is still forgivable…” When Chen Mengyan heard Yang Ming agree to her request and give her the ultimate prize, her heart was a lot more comfortable. “Then come to my house tomorrow morning. Make it early so that you can still meet my dad and mom.”
” En , that is fine. I will come over at half-past seven.” Yang Ming sighed in his heart. Something might happen tomorrow!
On the next morning, Yang Ming styled his hair with gel to make his hair stand up, but it looked pretty cool. Yang Ming wasn’t a smug person, but this was the last resort. He was afraid of being recognized!
Moreover, Yang Ming also deliberately changed to another coat today, making himself look different from yesterday. However, familiar people could still recognize him at a glance.
With no other way to go about it, what Yang Ming could do was just this. If he was recognized by someone with an intention, then he had no way to deal with it.
It’s inconvenient to not have a car. It seems that after Car City opens up its business, I need to get a car first. Otherwise, this trip will be really troublesome.
Chen Fei and Mother Chen were waiting for Yang Ming to have breakfast together. When things were ready, the family was sitting in the living room and chatting.
” Ai , when I first had Xiao Yan, our whole family went to my mom’s place. It was almost twenty years in the blink of an eye. Xiao Yan also took her boyfriend to our house to be a guest!” Mother Chen sighed.
“Yup, time and tide wait for no man! Everything is gone in the blink of an eye!” Chen Fei also laughed after hearing it. “You are a daughter-in-law for many years and finally you become the grandmother. You should be happy!”
“Also, hehe , I used to visit others every year. Now, someone is visiting me finally.” Mother Chen laughed.
Chen Mengyan was afraid to interrupt their conversation. It was no wonder she didn’t dare to interject when both her parents were joking with her!
As they were just laughing, the doorbell rang. Chen Mengyan stood up and went to the door. Sure enough, Yang Ming was standing at the door with a smile, holding a bag of gifts in his hands.
“You’re here.” Chen Mengyan said with delight.
” En , what about your parents? Have they left?” Yang Ming asked.
“No, we are waiting for you to have breakfast!” Chen Mengyan said as she took the gift from Yang Ming’s hands.
“Then, I won’t be overpolite. Coincidentally, I haven’t eaten yet this morning!” Yang Ming said awkwardly.
“Did Yang Ming come?” Chen Fei also greeted him, “Look at you now, having such pleasantries with me. Just come. Why are you bringing me stuff?”
” Ha , Uncle Chen, I’m different. I didn’t ask you to do anything. Second, I didn’t buy it to earn your favor. It’s purely a youngster visiting the elders. Why can’t I give gifts!?” Yang Ming laughed.
“Just a bunch of reasons, but don’t bring anything next time. We can’t finish up the food brought by your aunty’s unit every year. I even thought of giving it to your family!” Chen Fei said with a smile, “Quickly wash your hands. Let’s have breakfast!”
The Chen Family’s breakfast was rather simple. It was just porridge and small pickles, but Yang Ming was full of praise. “Aunty, your cooking is fantastic. The porridge and pickles are awesome. It seems that Uncle Chen has great fortune with food. I’m happy if I can eat this delicious breakfast every morning…”
However, after Yang Ming said this, he found out that Chen Fei’s family looked at him strangely. However, after a long while, Chen Fei and Mother Chen suddenly laughed. Chen Mengyan was embarra.s.sed to the point where she was lowering her head…
Yang Ming… wasn’t stupid. He understood what had happened abruptly. Most probably Chen Mengyan prepared the breakfast.
“Yang Ming, you really have the great fortune with food!” Chen Fei smiled mischievously. “This breakfast was made by Mengyan. How is it? Is it good?”
” En .” Yang Ming said quickly. “Yes, indeed. Ha , it seems that I’m blessed in the future, but what about Uncle Chen?”
” Hehe !” Chen Fei said with a smile, “What you’re eating is only the apprentice’s work. I still have a master!” Chen Fei said as he hinted to Mother Chen.
Yang Ming suddenly realized that Chen Mengyan’s cooking skills had been pa.s.sed by Mother Chen.
After eating breakfast, Chen Fei and Mother Chen packed up and went to Chen Mengyan’s grandmother’s house. When Yang Ming saw Chen Fei’s big bag of gifts, Yang Ming couldn’t help but laugh, “Uncle Chen, I find you really funny…”
“What happened to me?” Chen Fei was somewhat inexplicable by Yang Ming’s sudden laughter.
“The pot calling the kettle black [2]. You look at yourself. You said that I brought gifts. What are you doing now?” Yang Ming teased.
” Ugh …” Chen Fei was suddenly at a loss for words. He looked at the things in his hands and he felt embarra.s.sed.
Mother Chen besides him couldn’t help but laugh. The family was at a happy atmosphere, seemingly there is no distance between each other. Chen Mengyan was delighted that Yang Ming could get along with her parents.
“Alright, Yang Ming, stop teasing your Uncle Chen. I won’t comment on you next time…” Chen Fei shook his head helplessly. Sometimes it was just plain words, but when I’m put in the situation, I need to follow the custom as well.
After Chen Fei and Mother Chen left, Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan were left at home. Chen Mengyan was busy in the bathroom to dressing herself up while Yang Ming was bored watching the literature and art program on TV.
It wasn’t even Chinese New Year, and yet the cultural performances held by the various a.s.sociations in these places were so numerous to the point where no one could finish watching them.
Yang Ming simply changed the TV show. It actually broadcasted Shu Ya.
Yang Ming put down the remote control and watched the show on the TV. Yang Ming was baffled as to why he paid special attention to Shu Ya. Yang Ming couldn’t figure out the reason. Probably, it’s because her name was similar to Su Ya, or was it because she had his ring for Su Ya?
Maybe these two reasons were possible!
After Chen Mengyan readied herself, she went left the bathroom and noticed that Yang Ming was watching TV. She asked curiously, ” Oh ? Do you like Shu Ya?”
“I was simply watching it.” Yang Ming smiled and asked, “Why? Is she your idol?”
“Possibly, I quite fancy her.” Chen Mengyan said, “Her appearance is as beautiful as her singing voice. But, I won’t be jealous if you like her!”
“Why?” Yang Ming asked curiously. When did Chen Mengyan become so generous?
” Haha , it’s simple. Even if you liked her, it doesn’t amount to anything. You and she won’t get to interact with each other.” Chen Mengyan said indifferently, “She is a celebrity. There are numerous people like her. How would she know you?”
” Hehe , that is true!” Yang Ming smiled indifferently.
“However, if you really pursued her, I will accept it.” Chen Mengyan didn’t believe that Yang Ming and Shu Ya would have any chance to interact with each other. That was the reason she would say so.
“Why do you say this?” Yang Ming was moved.
“Nothing. If you’re looking for a little mistress, it would be fine if you find a celebrity that I liked. I won’t be angry with that.” Chen Mengyan said with a smile.
“Really?” Yang Ming didn’t believe it.
“Of course, it is true!” Chen Mengyan said in a serious manner, “However, I’m afraid you won’t be able to find her!”
In fact, Chen Mengyan really thought so. It was impossible for Yang Ming to have a celebrity to be his wife. Therefore, in order to show her generosity, she said so deliberately. Anyway, this commitment wouldn’t cause her any loss.
