Chapter 195: The Ugly Son-in-Law Meets the Family 23
Bei Ming Hao Chen’s attention wasn’t on Gu Siyu’s words, but on a word she had just spoken.
“Birthday.”
The King’s birthday is this weekend, and Gu Siyu’s birthday is only three days after her father’s~
So, next week is Gu Siyu’s birthday too?
Gu Siyu spoke carelessly, talking about things that excited her.
About an hour later, a servant from the Royal Family came to find Gu Siyu, saying that lunch was ready and the King and Queen invited them over.
Bei Ming Hao Chen regained his usual noble demeanor, and the two of them went to the Royal Restaurant together.
Bei Ming Hao Chen noticed that there were several more people in the restaurant at this moment. Besides the King and Queen, there was also a young man and a girl.
“Oh, is this Yu Yu’s fiancé? So handsome.”
The girl was Gu Siyu’s older sister, named Lai Yi Luna.
“Future brother-in-law, hahaha, come, sit.”
The young man laughed heartily; he was Gu Siyu’s older brother, Lai Yi Mai Mi.
“Yu Yu, I heard you didn’t like your future brother-in-law at first? But now you like him a lot, right?”
“Yu Yu, this brat is really handsome. If I were younger, I’d want to fight you for him.”
“Hey, sister, you need to change your ways of trying to get with younger men.”
“Brother-in-law will get jealous.”
Luna and Mai Mi bantered, and Gu Siyu was helpless. Did she have a fake brother and sister?
Gu Siyu ignored the two of them and pulled Bei Ming Hao Chen over to sit down: “Here, you sit next to me, hee hee.”
“What kind of behavior is this, Luna, Mai Mi, can you two be quiet?”
“This is a dining table, not a place for you to fool around.”
The King frowned slightly, gently reprimanding his eldest daughter and son.
Luna and Mai Mi exchanged a look, nodded, and sat there obediently without speaking.
Alas, their father was unhappy that everyone liked Bei Ming Hao Chen, and he was clearly jealous.
Everyone understood this tacitly and gave the King some face.
It was all family at the dining table. Luna’s husband was out of town, so he wasn’t present.
During the meal, the group chatted and laughed. Bei Ming Hao Chen responded occasionally, but he didn’t say much, giving off a distant and aloof impression.
It was evident that, besides the King, everyone else present liked him very much.
However, Bei Ming Hao Chen knew that what he needed most was the King’s approval.
And clearly, it wasn’t time yet.
After the meal,
The Queen arranged a palace for Bei Ming Hao Chen to rest. As Gu Siyu was preparing to leave with him, Lai Yi Luna and Lai Yi Mai Mi followed.
“Yu Yu, I want to chat with my future brother-in-law for a bit.”
“Yu Yu, you have such a good relationship with this kid, I’m envious. You’re really young,”
“By the way, have you seen Ming Yi? I haven’t seen him for a long time.”
“Yu Yu, don’t hold on so tightly, I’m not going to eat him.”
Luna and Mai Mi bantered, watching Gu Siyu tightly grasp Bei Ming Hao Chen’s hand. They couldn’t help but find it amusing. She looked like a mother protecting her cub.
If someone didn’t know better, they would think Bei Ming Hao Chen was very weak and needed Gu Siyu’s protection.
But in reality, they all understood that Gu Siyu was afraid that they would take advantage of Bei Ming Hao Chen.
“What’s there to talk about? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
“He’s tired from catching the plane. I’ll take him to rest first, and we can chat properly in a couple of days.”
Gu Siyu didn’t believe her brother and sister at all. They were too cunning. If they were allowed to stay, who knew what might happen.

Next to Gu Siyu’s chambers was the palace Gu Mama had arranged for Bei Ming Hao Chen.
Gu Siyu sat there at the moment, glancing at the palace. She sighed, “Why does Mother like you so much? This palace seems like it was just cleaned, and many of the decorations are new.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen leaned to the side, watching Gu Siyu the entire time.
“Yu Yu, do you think I’m not good enough for you?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen stared intently at Gu Siyu, unmoving. There was no one else around, only the two of them. Some things could be said now.
“My mother always knew you were a princess of Spain, but none of you told me. Why?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen frowned. Although he had guessed the general idea, he was still unwilling to believe it.
“You didn’t like me back then, so there was no need to change my impression of you in other ways.”
Gu Siyu replied, being very honest.
“You think that once I knew you were a princess of Spain, I would change my impression of you?”
“Do you think I would be someone who fears your Royal Family?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen sneered. He had never feared anyone or any organization.
Even if he knew, so what?
“No, I know you’re very capable.”
Gu Siyu wanted to explain, but she found that no matter what she said, it didn’t seem right. She was getting anxious.
Bei Ming Hao Chen recalled that during that period, he couldn’t find out Gu Siyu’s background. No matter how much manpower and resources he mobilized, he could only vaguely know that this girl was indeed Spanish, but he never knew the specific details.
Heh, he knew it. Someone who could hide their identity so well must have a significant background.
“Yu Yu, promise me one thing, okay?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen walked over, placed his hands on her shoulders, and asked solemnly.
Gu Siyu was captivated by his intense gaze and could only nod.
Aowu, Gu Siyu really wanted to announce to the world that she didn’t want to agree! Looking at him like this, she knew he wasn’t up to anything good. Hmph ╯^╰ What a scary person.
“Choose to trust me, no matter what.”
“Please don’t doubt the trust between us casually. I truly like you, and I hope you won’t doubt me anymore.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen spoke, each word exceptionally serious.
Gu Siyu blinked her eyes. Huh? It’s just this?
She thought he was going to trick her into something else.
“Aowu, okay, I won’t.”
“I will definitely believe you.”
“Hee hee, you’re not angry anymore, right? That’s great. People who aren’t angry are even more handsome.”
Gu Siyu reached out and pinched his icy face, smiling.
Bei Ming Hao Chen’s expression instantly softened, infected by the little girl’s joy.
Bei Ming Hao Chen looked at Gu Siyu. This girl felt like a child, making people feel grateful so easily.
He reached out and pulled the little girl into his embrace, inhaling her unique fragrance. Bei Ming Hao Chen felt as if the whole world had quieted down at that moment. This girl seemed to possess a magic that could calm a restless heart.
“Your brother and sister are very easy to get along with.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen hugged Gu Siyu and changed the topic, asking.
“Yes, they’re very funny, kind-hearted, and most importantly, they’re beautiful!”
As soon as she mentioned her sister, Gu Siyu couldn’t stop talking.
“My brother, he has a good appearance, but his heart is just an empty shell.”
When mentioning Mai Mi, Gu Siyu’s attitude became a little flushed (?).
【ps: I don’t know why there are always problems with the chapters recently. Some people say I’m ripping them off for book coins. For those who have spent money, after I fix it, it will be the same. You won’t spend more money, and what’s the point of me padding the word count? What’s the point of the plot not progressing? I’m sorry everyone, I’ll try to be careful. The repeated chapter from yesterday should be fine now if you refresh it.】
