Chapter 316: Parents' Habits

From the moment Xiao Qing had a spark with Yang Ming, this had been a sore spot for her! She didn't dare to tell Yang Ming. She was afraid that Yang Ming wouldn't accept it.

Now, Xiao Qing found out that she had fallen deeply in love with Yang Ming to the point where she was unable to extricate herself. Xiao Qing was afraid to mention this matter again! She was afraid of losing Yang Ming!

After all, not anyone could accept this matter. Yang Ming seemed to be a very open-minded person, but Xiao Qing didn't dare to take the risk... So, this matter had been postponed indefinitely.

There were a few times that Xiao Qing wanted to speak about it, but when the words were about to be said, she swallowed them back again. She kept telling herself, Next time. Next time...

Xiao Qing couldn't make up her mind. In that split moment, Xiao Qing almost said it out loud. However, she still didn't say it in the end.

Xiao Qing wasn't an impulsive person. It was apparent from her action just now. However, that thing still happened... Sigh, Xiao Qing had some regrets. But, she was also a mature woman. It was normal to have that physical need sometimes, right?

Xiao Qing was still feeling conflicted, but Yang Ming's hand had started to act mischievously.

"Someone's still outside. Take it away!" Xiao Qing recovered from her thoughts and slapped Yang Ming's hand.

"Hehe, I have locked the door already." Yang Ming smiled.

"What if our godparents come here later? Wouldn't they doubt it when they can't enter?" Xiao Qing said nervously.

"It'll be fine. Have you forgotten that I have my sixth sense?" Yang Ming said.

"Liar. Alright, but you're only allowed touch it a little. Don't do that..." Xiao Qing nodded while blushing.

"Oh? Do you still want that?" Yang Ming pretended to be surprised and asked.

"Go to hell. You are so bad! Joking around with your sister's words?" Xiao Qing glared at Yang Ming.

Yang Ming was just taking some little advantages. Even if he had a lot of courage, he didn't dare to do the other thing. His godmother and godfather were both outside, Yang Ming didn't want to die.

Although Yang Ming was flirting with Xiao Qing over here, he didn't forget to observe the movement in the living room on the other side. Noticing that the conversation between his parents and his godparents was about to finish, Yang Ming also quickly stopped the action.

"What's wrong? Did you have enough?" Xiao Qing felt strange looking at Yang Ming's abrupt halt.

"It will never be enough for my entire life!" Yang Ming said with a smile, "Well, I should go back. See you at our usual place tomorrow at noon."

"Tomorrow... I'll be coming for lunch here at our parent's place these next two days..." Xiao Qing hesitated.

"It will be fine if you go back early after the meal. Just say that you left documents at home and you have to go back to grab it." Yang Ming suggested.

"Okay." Xiao Qing nodded. In fact, she also wanted it very much. She had just been teased by Yang Ming for a long time and couldn't release the tension. It was rather uncomfortable.

"Then I'm going down. They would suspect if I stayed here for too long." Yang Ming said.

"Ah! Then you should quickly go!" Xiao Qing said quickly.

"Have a good rest, dear Sister Xiao Qing. Good night." Yang Ming nodded and opened the door.

"En..." Xiao Qing looked down shyly like a child in love.

Of course, as Yang Ming left the room, he saw Chu Huifang who greeted him, "Big Ming, you're out? I wanted to call you!"

"Godmother, have you all finished with your chatting?" asked Yang Ming.

"We are done chatting. Oh ya, are you busy this Saturday?" Chu Huifang asked.

"No, what's up?" Yang Ming shook his head and asked.

"Let's eat together at home this Saturday. Both your godfather and your parents had the same intention. Home-cooked food is both delicious and hygienic!" Chu Huifang said, "You can come earlier on Saturday morning. Your mother wanted to cook with me."

"Alright, no problem." Yang Ming promised.

It seemed that the doubts of Yang Ming's parents have been completely resolved. From the smile on their faces, they must be feeling very happy.

After saying goodbye to his godparents, Yang Ming and his family left the community.

"Big Ming, your godfather saw a bright future in you!" Yang Dahai said, "Don't let him down!"

"Hehe. I won't, Dad. I will work hard." Yang Ming nodded and said.

"Your godfather also explained to me. It seemed like you gave him a piece of imperial jade too so we can say that he did not give you money." Yang Dahai said, "I felt more relieved this way."

"That's good, Dad. If this is the case, are you going to stop working at the factory? It's about time that you enjoyed your retirement." Yang Ming said happily, "You can rely on me at home in the future!"

"Big Ming, both your mother and I understand your intention. You want me and your mother to enjoy our life after retirement, so we no longer have to work that hard, right?" Yang Dahai asked.

"Yes. Dad, don't you want that?" Yang Ming asked.

"Hehe, Big Ming, both your parents are blue-collared workers who have worked for half our lifetime. We don't really want to stop!" Yang Dahai said, "Take a look at me. I work in the factory. Although I have to go every day, I'm delighted because I have something to do! Especially now that I don't have to worry about the finances at home, I no longer have any worries. It's now a pleasure to go to work! Otherwise, I'll stay at home all day and stare at your mom's little eyes with my big eyes. Wouldn't that bore us to death?"

"That's right, Big Ming. Your father is right! We can't be too idle. If you let us stay at home and do nothing, that would be making us suffer!" Mother Yang also smiled, "We know that you have a fine intention, but we really don't want to stay at home all day!"

"You both can travel around." Yang Ming suggested, "There are so many tourist attractions in China, as well as the foreign ones. Both of you can explore more!"

"Now you haven't graduated yet. Let's talk about it after you graduate from university. At that time, we won't have much concern." Yang Dahai said.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you both. But you all don't have to be so frugal anymore, alright?" Yang Ming said, "You don't always have to buy cheap things..."

"Big Ming, you don't understand. Buying special promotion items with your dad at the supermarket, as well as bargaining in the market are a kind of pleasure in life. Even though we can only save a few yuan, but we feel very happy!" Mother Yang said with a smile, "This has nothing to do with needing to be frugal."

"Ah... that's okay then... whatever makes you both happy..." Yang Ming said helplessly. He didn't really think that much after all. It turned out that my parents had their own fun differently. It wasn't like my own wishful thinking that as long as they got to enjoy staying at home and spending some money, they would be happy and joyous! My parents had their own lifestyle, and they are used to it already. Asking them to change is undoubtedly difficult and painful!

As to what father had said, if they didn't go to work, then what else they can do at home? Would they be relaxing at home all day long? Yang Ming shook his head. It seemed like what I thought was too simple!

Yang Ming finally understood why in many online novels, the protagonists made a lot of money and yet their parents still lived an ordinary life. That was a habit, the habit of the older generation!

Familiar working environment, familiar lifestyle. They wouldn't easily stray away from this pattern unless it was an absolute necessity.

If that was the case, Yang Ming went along with them. Yang Ming decided to care for them through the other aspects, such as buying some supplements for them, buying some branded clothing for his father, or some good cosmetics for his mother. I can only do so much then.

"Alright, Big Ming. The rich and luxurious life isn't what your dad and I hoped for, but you should be clear about what we both are hoping for the most." Mother Yang said.

"Ah? What?" Yang Ming was stunned.

"It's a daughter-in-law. It's the happiest thing for me and your dad to see you bring your girlfriend back." Mother Yang said.

"I know..." Yang Ming sweated. After a few conversations, it went back to the topic at the beginning.

"Well, Big Ming, your mother and I are going home. You should go back to the university directly. Don't you still have class tomorrow?" As Yang Ming passed by his university, Yang Dahai instructed him.

"That's fine. Dad, Mom, you both be safe and take a taxi back." Yang Ming said.

"Sure! It's so late now. If we didn't take the taxi, we wouldn't know how to go home anyway!" Yang Dahai said with a smile, "Now, your mother and I have already passed our honeymoon stage. Did you think we would still enjoy taking a romantic stroll on the road?"

"Hehe." Yang Ming chuckled, made a goodbye gesture to his parents, and then he walked in the direction of his dorm.

Back at his dorm, Yang Ming found out that Zhang Bing was studying the ring that he brought back! Yang Ming just remembered it. Zhang Bing borrowed it yesterday to take a look at it.

When Yang Ming came back, Zhang Bing looked up and asked, "Didn't you go home? How come you're back?"

"My parents wanted to visit my godparents. We just finished, so I came back to university directly!" Yang Ming explained.

"Oh, that's what happened!" Zhang Bing nodded. "Yes, Yang Ming, you said you bought this ring from our celebrity, Shu Ya?"
