Chapter 172: My Daughter Has Been Kidnapped
“Sorry, it’s my fault. I took her out.”
“I was watching her, I didn’t let her drink too much.”
Ming Yi said apologetically.
Gu Siyu came out of the washroom, much more sober. Hearing Ming Yi’s words, she couldn’t help but laugh, “Brother Yi, you saying that makes me feel guilty. Taking all the responsibility onto yourself, I feel embarrassed.”
Ming Yi is always like this. Whenever something happens, he always protects her, taking all the blame. Even if it wasn’t his fault, he would still make himself seem entirely at fault.
“Ming Yi has always doted on you, it even makes me, your father, feel a pang of envy.”
“It feels like my daughter has been snatched away by someone else.”
Gu Siyu’s father said helplessly.
Ming Yi’s father was the King’s most capable assistant, holding supreme power in the entire Spanish Royal Family. Ming Yi himself was also extremely outstanding, thus he was deeply liked by the King and Queen.
The King wasn’t too fond of Gu Siyu and Bei Ming Hao Chen’s engagement. His daughter deserved the happiest life, and her future husband should possess the highest status and position. Otherwise, how could Gu Siyu be happy?
However, his wife was very supportive.
It was said that Bei Ming Hao Chen’s Mother was her best friend. When they were young, the two women had a very close relationship and confided in each other about everything. Later, Gu Siyu’s Mother married into the Spanish Royal Family and became the Mother of the Nation, while Zuo Ning settled down in China.
They hadn’t seen each other for many years, but the feelings between the two women remained as good as ever. Upon learning that both had children, they casually arranged a marriage between their children.
Gu Siyu’s father had been upset about this matter before. His daughter, the treasure of his life, how could she be so easily given to someone else?
However, Gu Siyu’s father was a wife-doting maniac. Whatever his wife said, went. He had no room to object.
“My daughter has always been here.”
“It’s normal for her to be taken away. She’ll have to leave us sooner or later anyway.”
Gu Siyu’s Mother was more open-minded. Girls, after all, have to leave their parents when they get married. It’s perfectly normal.
Ming Yi listened from the side, clenching one hand into a fist and covering his mouth, an irrepressible smile tugging at his lips.
Gu Siyu rolled her eyes. Was she really their biological daughter? She felt like a fake.
“That’s enough. You two are definitely fake parents.”
Gu Siyu pouted and glared at her parents, then said to Ming Yi with a smile, “It’s getting late, Brother Yi. You should go back and rest. I shouldn’t delay your sleep.”
“Lack of sleep can make you ugly.”
Gu Siyu playfully stuck out her tongue, looking exceptionally cute.
Ming Yi said, “It’s okay. As long as Siyu doesn’t find me ugly.”
“Find you ugly? How could I? If you become ugly, I’ll be very embarrassed to go out with you. Don’t you think so? If a beautiful girl like me takes an ugly man out, people will point and whisper.”
Gu Siyu’s reasoning was so sound that Ming Yi chuckled, finding himself speechless.
“Yu Yu, what are you saying? Ming Yi is so good to you. Be careful he doesn’t hold a grudge and start arguing with you.”
Gu Siyu’s Mother chided.
“Oh, oh, oh, you scared me! My little heart is pounding like crazy.”
“Hmm, Brother Yi, what do you think?”
