Chapter 591: Three Lives Stone

Chen Mengyan wanted to cross off Su Ya’s name and carve her name next to it. However, she hesitated a bit and didn’t do so. Instead, she engraved her own name under Su Ya’s name.

If I were to cross out Su Ya’s name, then Yang Ming will definitely feel that I’m still stingy and am angry with an imaginary person. Maybe the original warm atmosphere will be destroyed. However, Chen Mengyan wasn’t willing to let Yang Ming and Su Ya’s name stay side by side on this stone tablet. So, she could only add her own name under Su Ya’s name.

At first glance, it seemed that Yang Ming had two wives. Su Ya was the big wife and Chen Mengyan was the small wife. However, there was no other way. Chen Mengyan gritted her teeth and endured it.

Yang Ming looked at Chen Mengyan’s move and his mouth was slightly smiling. This stone monument was called the Three Lives Stone [1]. It was said that as long as couples engraved their names on this monument, they would never be separated. This was why many couples left their names on it. However, the legend was just a legend. There was no scientific basis to prove this fact. Yang Ming was also only looking for psychological satisfaction. He didn’t think that because of this, Su Ya and Chen Mengyan would always be with him.

It is probably possible with Chen Mengyan. It’s just that for Su Ya, I don’t even know where she is now. At that time, Little Yang Ming and Little Su Ya didn’t know much about love. They only put their names on the stone tablet for fun. For someone to stay together forever, there can be a lot of explanations. Good friends can be together forever, too!

“There were so many people who vandalized it. Adding me won’t make much difference.” Chen Mengyan threw the stone in her hand away and looked at her masterpiece with satisfaction. When she had finished carving her name, she also deepened the carving of Yang Ming’s name a lot. In contrast, Su Ya’s name looked very faded. If it wasn’t carefully looked at, it can almost be ignored.

Yang Ming looked at the name on the stone tablet and sighed. Chen Mengyan, she still liked to play some little ideas. But this was already much better than the original vinegar jar [2], and Yang Ming wasn’t too concerned with it.

After all, Su Ya could only be part of his own memories. Only Chen Mengyan was really being with him. Yang Ming held Chen Mengyan’s hand and said, “I hope that we both can fulfill the prophecy of this stone…”

” En …” Chen Mengyan nodded strongly and held Yang Ming’s hand tighter. “We will…”

Seeing that Yang Ming wasn’t angry with her actions, Chen Mengyan was relieved. Just now, when she saw Yang Ming’s somewhat gloomy face, Chen Mengyan even had an impulse to carve Su Ya’s name deeper, too.

She didn’t know why, but Chen Mengyan felt that she started to be more and more concerned about Yang Ming’s thoughts… Is it that I love him too much? To the point where I lost my personality?

Just as she was thinking this, Chen Mengyan’s cell phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was a call from home.

“Your mom? Is it because the meal is ready and she’s urging us to go back?” Yang Ming glanced at the caller ID and asked.

“Should be…” Chen Mengyan nodded.

“Quickly pick it up…” Yang Ming smiled. “Just say that we are going to check out and go back…”

“Go to hell!” Chen Mengyan glared at Yang Ming and picked up the phone. “Hello?”

“Xiao Yan, what ‘go to hell’? What did you say?” Mother Chen asked, confused.

” Ugh …” Chen Mengyan sweated and said, “Mom, I was not talking to you. I was saying it to Yang Ming…”

“You can’t do that either. How can you say something like that to him… Being a girl, you can’t be too arrogant. Be gentle. When do you see me talking like that when I talk to your dad?” Mother Chen gave a serious lecture.

“I…” Chen Mengyan couldn’t tell of her difficulties, so she could only keep using her eyes to glare at Yang Ming. No way. She couldn’t repeat what Yang Ming said to her Mom, right?

“Okay, in the future, speak a bit more politely as a girl. The meal is going to be ready. Where are you and Yang Ming? When are you both coming back?” asked Mother Chen.

“We are at the beach. We’re coming back now.” Chen Mengyan replied.

“Okay, you both take a taxi. Hurry up,” said Mother Chen.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Mengyan really wanted to give Yang Ming a kick. He made her get lectured by her mother.

“What’s so funny?” Seeing Yang Ming snickering, Chen Mengyan was even angrier and she said, “What are you laughing at?”

“Lectured by your mother?” Yang Ming finally couldn’t help but smile as he said this.

” Yeah . Hmph , I’ll go back and tell your mother that you bullied me. You dragged me to the hotel…” Chen Mengyan threatened.

” Hey ?” Yang Ming was stunned. He was dumbfounded. “Really? Don’t; please don’t. Isn’t this the same as killing me…”

” Heh …” When Chen Mengyan saw how Yang Ming was scared, she said with pleasure, “Let’s see whether you dare to talk nonsense in the future.”

The two of them stopped a taxi, talked to the taxi driver about the destination and then sat inside.

“Come on!” Yang Ming put his hand over Chen Mengyan’s shoulder and made her lean into his arms.

“What are you doing?” Chen Mengyan said as she struggled a bit.

” Shh … there’s not much chance after we get back…” Yang Ming whispered.

” Oh …” After Chen Mengyan listened to Yang Ming’s words, she thought that it was indeed such a thing. In front of both sets of parents, the chances of being intimate with each other were miserably less. Now… is an opportunity to be close to one another, right?

Although Chen Mengyan was a girl who was very reserved, she also really missed Yang Ming. This kind of honeymoon period was very enjoyable. Therefore, she obediently leaned into Yang Ming’s arms.

The two of them enjoyed the warmth of this moment. However, some people just had to destroy their mood. They hadn’t arrived home after a long time, so Yang Ming couldn’t help but look at the window, confused. The car actually drove to the outer highway. Yang Ming was immediately reluctant, “Where are you going?”

“Aren’t you going to the community of Wenxing Road?” The driver said indifferently.

“I am indeed going to the community of Wenxing Road, but where are you driving from?” Yang Ming said coldly, “This is already at the outer highway. Are we going out of town?”

” Oh , there is construction happening over there, so I have to circumvent it.” The driver said bluntly, “It’s Chinese New Year now, a season of celebration. Wasn’t I thinking about how to get you there faster?”

Yang Ming looked at the guy who was lying with his eyes wide open and was a bit speechless. Are there people making money as you do? Yes, it’s a seasonal celebration. If you honestly had sent us to our place, I might have given you a hundred yuan and asked you to keep the change. But now, you’re being pretty unreasonable.

“Construction? We walked to the beach just now. Why didn’t we see any of it?” Yang Ming snorted.

“Repairs have just been finished. Boss, be a bit more forthright. Don’t mind these little things!” The taxi driver euphemized his insult.

“What do you mean it has just been repaired?” Chen Mengyan wasn’t willing either. “Aren’t you just going around aimlessly?”

The taxi driver originally thought that since these were young men and women who were in love, the man would want to save face and hence won’t be so calculative in front of his woman. He didn’t expect the woman to be unwilling, too!

He had been driving a taxi for many years and trained a pair of fiery gold eyes [3]. Generally, young men and women who take a taxi and each sat on one side casually were usually married couples. It would be very difficult to take advantage of these people. But people like Yang Ming, who willingly entered into the car and sat together, were usually men and women who were madly love. Generally, in this type of dynamics, the man would want to showcase his generosity before the woman, and rarely minded the taxi fare.

Therefore, he directly put Yang Ming into this category. Moreover, today was still the Chinese New Year. So, he felt that Yang Ming wouldn’t mind this little money and make himself look so stingy. Unexpectedly, Chen Mengyan also wasn’t willing.

How would he know that Chen Mengyan was originally a girl with very strong principles? One is one and two is two. How would she allow others to lie to her? Therefore, the taxi driver felt a little at loss for words. But, he calmed himself down and said, “It’s already the Chinese New Year. Let’s not create too many problems. Okay, you know what? Once we arrive at the destination, I will remove a zero digit from the total!”

” Hey ?” Yang Ming was immediately thrilled. “You have made me take a big roundabout route which has delayed our time. Do you still think I will pay you money?”

“Not paying me?” The taxi driver glared. ” Zi zi ” and the sudden braking stopped the car at the side of the road. He then said, “If you don’t plan to pay any money, get off now! You guys get out here!”

The taxi driver felt that he had the advantage over Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan because he was still at the outer highway bridge. Except for some vehicles that were going out of the city, there would be very few taxis passing by. If Yang Ming and Chen Mengyan got off the taxi, it would be very difficult to stop another car. Moreover, this was a high-speed road section. It was extremely dangerous for pedestrians to walk on it. Therefore, the taxi driver wasn’t afraid that Yang Ming wouldn’t give in.

“What attitude is this? We’re complaining to the Transportation Bureau Rental Management Office!” Chen Mengyan often liked to use laws and regulations to defend her rights because of her family background.

” Ha , you go ahead and call then. You know a lot, but it’s useless!” The taxi driver was elated, “Today is Chinese New Year’s Eve. The Transportation Bureau will be on a holiday. Who are you looking for?”
