“Forget it. It’s really troublesome!” Xia Xue shook her head. “If they give you a ticket, come and look for me. I will help you withdraw the summon.”

” Hehe , I’m just waiting for your words! I know that the great police officer Xia is fairing quite well in the police station!” Yang Ming said with sarcasm. Female tyrannosaurus [1], who isn’t afraid of her?

However, Xia Xue didn’t realize Yang Ming’s sarcasm. She nodded unconsciously and said smugly, “Of course, don’t you know who I am?”

Yang Ming was trying very hard to hold in his laughter. He stood by the roadside and waited for a taxi with Xia Xue.

In a short while, a taxi stopped beside Yang Ming. Yang Ming opened the rear door and let Xia Xue sit in first. Then, he went in the taxi.

“Go to Chuandong Spicy Skewers.” Xia Xue said to the taxi driver.

“Xiao Xue, going on a date with your boyfriend?” The taxi driver said directly.

” Eh ?” Yang Ming and Xia Xue were caught by surprise at the same time. They looked at the taxi driver in shock! It was actually Xia Zhidong, the driver who claimed to be Xia Xue’s second uncle when Yang Ming stopped a taxi at the entrance of police station last time!

“Uncle, how come it’s you?” Xia Xue heard the word “boyfriend” and she was somewhat embarra.s.sed.

” Hehe , why? Are you blaming uncle for being the third wheel?” Xia Zhidong smiled.

“Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about? He and I… are just ordinary friends…” Xia Xue was so embarra.s.sed.

Yang Ming was dumbfounded as he witnessed the scene. Xia Xue also had a feminine side? d.a.m.n, that’s just too unbelievable, right?

“Don’t be embarra.s.sed. It’s not like our era last time. There’s no need to be sneaky about having a date with a partner!” Xia Zhidong said, “No big deal. I, your uncle, support you! This guy is great. Your uncle is satisfied with him!”

” Ugh … Uncle Xia, I think you misunderstood…” Yang Ming quickly explained, “Xia Xue and I really are just ordinary friends!”

” Eh ? Young man, that’s quite inconsiderate. When I asked you in the car last time, you told me that you were Xia Xue’s boyfriend!” Xia Zhidong said with a stern face.

“I…” Yang Ming broke into a sweat. “When did I admit it?”

“You didn’t admit it, but your silence admitted it by default!” Xia Zhidong remembered clearly that Yang Ming didn’t speak at the time, but Yang Ming disliked his dawdling so he kept silent.

Yang Ming was dumbfounded, “Uncle Xia, I was in deep thought…”

“Thinking about Xiao Xia [2]?” Xia Zhidong said, “It’s alright. I understand!”

“…” Yang Ming and Xia Xue looked at each other and they were speechless.

Soon, the car came to the door of Chuandong Spicy Skewers. Yang Ming looked at the location here. It was close to Chen Mengyan’s home. If I knew it, I would have just waited for Xia Xue here. As such, my car wouldn’t have broken down on the road.

“My stomach is starting to become hungry.” Xia Zhidong said with a smile, “Would you like to go in and eat together? Your uncle can treat you for the meal.”

Yang Ming was helpless. How come Xia Xue’s uncle was so thick-skinned? However, as he threw a glimpse at Xia Xue, he saw her helpless expression. He could only say, “It’s alright, Uncle Xia. I will treat you. Come and eat together!”

” Ha ! Xia Xue, your boyfriend is generous! Not bad, I like it!” Xia Zhidong said.

Yang Ming and Xia Xue could only pretend that they hadn’t heard it.

Chuandong Spicy Skewers were actually a small shop. The scale wasn’t big. There were no private rooms. However, due to its unique taste, it attracted a large number of customers every day. There were many people who drove here to eat.

Yang Ming found a table that wasn’t bad. He sat down and handed the menu to Xia Xue and Xia Zhidong.

“Twenty spicy chicken wings with honey flavor. Also, twenty chicken necks with honey flavor!” Xia Xue finished and handed the menu to Xia Zhidong.

“The same, but I want super spicy, and then five beef kidney skewers! A pot of spicy shabu!” Xia Zhidong said.

“Sir, what about you?” The waiter asked Yang Ming.

“I…” Yang Ming came back from his surprise. All of them are the king of eaters! Although it doesn’t cost much, their appet.i.tes are amazing!

“I want twenty beef skewers, two chicken wings, and I want it to be medium spicy.” Yang Ming said.

“Okay, please wait a moment.” The waiter took the order and left.

…

At the same time, at Chen Mengyan’s house.

“Mom, why were you looking for me?” Chen Mengyan looked at her mother, curiously.

“Mengyan, after New Year, you will be 19 years old, right? Shouldn’t you look for a boyfriend already?” Mother Chen asked.

“Mom…” Chen Mengyan was a little shy, but she was relieved in her heart. She thought that her parents wouldn’t let her have a boyfriend so early. She was worried about how to inform her parents about Yang Ming. As she saw her mother taking the initiative, she was relieved.

“I heard from your dad that you went to hang out with your cla.s.smates during Christmas? Was that a guy?” Mother Chen continued.

The night before, when Chen Fei went home to eat, he accidentally mentioned something about Chen Mengyan. Mother Chen was impatient. When she heard that her daughter had a boyfriend, she immediately called Chen Mengyan and asked her daughter to go home. She had to clarify it clearly.

Of course, what Mother Chen wanted to clarify whether the male student mentioned by Chen Fei was Chen Mengyan’s male cla.s.smate in high school.

In the past, Mother Chen found out some clues when she washed Chen Mengyan’s small windbreaker! That was the trace of a man’s residue which dried there! At that time, she was afraid of affecting Chen Mengyan’s mood when facing the National Higher Education Entrance Examination so she didn’t ask Chen Mengyan.

However, this was always a knot in Mother Chen’s heart. After Chen Mengyan went to university, she had gradually forgotten about it, but when Chen Fei suddenly mentioned it the day before yesterday, Mother Chen recalled this matter again, so she was so anxious.

” En … Mom… If I really have a boyfriend, would you scold me…” Chen Mengyan nodded and she probed her shyly and carefully.

” Hehe , a woman at a certain age would get married. It’s normal. If our Little Yan has a boyfriend, it shows that she has grown up!” Mother Chen said with a smile, “How can I scold you? Come. Talk to your mother. Your boyfriend is…”

“Mom…” Chen Mengyan was a little shy as she lay in her mother’s embrace. “Would you really consent?”

“How can I not consent to it?” Chen Fei also came over with a smile and sat next to the mother and daughter. “Little Yan, talk to me and your mother… Well, let me guess first who your boyfriend is. How about it?”

” Ah ?” Chen Mengyan was stunned, but immediately she understood, My father knows Yang Ming, especially when I was acting out of the ordinary when I brought out the photo. How can my father not realize what has happened?

” Haha , is it Yang Ming?” Chen Fei said with a smile.

” En , it’s him…” Chen Mengyan whispered.

“Yang Ming? Mengyan, is he your high school cla.s.smate?” Mother Chen was anxious to know the truth about the previous incident. The reason why she was so anxious because she didn’t want her daughter to be a casual person. Based on the residue on the small windbreaker, Chen Mengyan might have had an intimate relations.h.i.+p with a boy in high school. If she changed her boyfriend at the university, as a mother, Mother Chen, would still be relatively uncomfortable with it.

” En … it’s my high school cla.s.smate. Now he is in the same university as me…” Chen Mengyan nodded and whispered.

Mother Chen listened with a sigh of relief. It seems that my daughter had a puppy love relations.h.i.+p during high school! However, since the doubts in her heart had been lifted, Mother Chen would no longer pursue the previous incident. After all, it was the past. There’s no point in lecturing my daughter about getting into a relations.h.i.+p too early.

“Yang Ming, this child. I have seen him, not bad!” Chen Fei said, “I’m optimistic about him!”

“Little Yan, your dad doesn’t easily praise anyone. If now that’s the case, when can you bring Yang Ming back home? Let me meet him!” Mother Chen recalled that her daughter had already done that with Yang Ming, and it happened when they were in high school. Therefore, Mother Chen didn’t say much. She just wanted to finalize the relations.h.i.+p between the two people as soon as possible.

” En , I understand. During New Year’s Day, I will be going to his house first. Then, I will bring him over to visit both of you, is that alright?” Chen Mengyan asked her parents for their opinion.

” Hehe , I didn’t quite expect that. You’re already going to meet his parents?” Mother Chen said with a smile, “Then if I didn’t call you back, were you still planning to hide it from me and your dad?”

“I didn’t!” Chen Mengyan said with a blush, “I was coming back today to tell you about it!”

“Are you all hungry? I’m going to prepare dinner. Then, we can chat as we eat.” Mother Chen looked at the time and it was about time to have a meal.

“Forget it. Let’s go out and eat. Today, our Little Yan has a boyfriend. Let’s celebrate!” Chen Fei suggested.

“That could do as well!” Mother Chen nodded. “Then, let’s go out to eat. Since there’s nothing much at home, let us just go to the nearby Chuandong Spicy Skewers. I think the popularity there is quite hot. We haven’t been there yet!”
