Chapter 79: My Woman, How Can She Be Inferior?
Slowly opening her eyes, Gu Siyu frowned. She didn’t even know how she had fallen unconscious.
The room she was currently in was very luxurious, with a crystal chandelier and all sorts of decorations that were incredibly opulent.
“You’re awake? Eat something.”
The door opened, and Bei Ming Hao Chen walked in, followed by a servant holding a tray with several exquisite dishes.
“You…”
“Eat first, don’t talk.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen interrupted Gu Siyu, had the servant arrange the dishes, and then turned to leave.
In the vast room, only Gu Siyu and Bei Ming Hao Chen remained. The air was quiet for a moment, and Gu Siyu felt a bit suffocated. Her appearance was so sudden; would Bei Ming Hao Chen not be suspicious?
Gu Siyu sat there, eating quietly. Bei Ming Hao Chen sat beside her, staring at her intently, giving her a chilling feeling.
“Why are you staring at me like that?”
“It’s quite creepy.”
Gu Siyu pouted. She decided not to care anymore. If he was suspicious, he was suspicious. She wouldn’t admit to anything, and Bei Ming Hao Chen couldn’t do anything to her.
However, Gu Siyu miscalculated one thing, which consequently exposed her…

Half an hour later, the door was knocked on, and a middle-aged man in uniform entered.
Upon seeing Bei Ming Hao Chen, the man nodded slightly, then walked directly in front of Gu Siyu: “I presume this is Young Master Bei Ming’s fiancée, Miss Gu?”
“Truly a beauty in the making…”
The man’s scrutinizing gaze was very direct, with no attempt to hide it. Gu Siyu frowned, feeling disdain for this kind of man.
“Miss Gu, thank you for saving Mannni just now. I am her uncle.”
“Young Master Bei Ming’s fiancée is indeed extraordinary. No wonder even my Mannni feels inferior.”
The man said this with a smile, but Gu Siyu felt something was off about his words.
“Even my Mannni feels inferior?” What did this have to do with Yin Manni?
“Naturally, my woman wouldn’t be lacking.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen seemed pleased with the remark and didn’t expose the man’s hidden meaning, choosing to interpret it at face value.
As soon as he said this, not only the man but even Gu Siyu grimaced.
Couldn’t this person have a bit more shame?
“Hahaha, Young Master Bei Ming has a good temper. How about we have dinner together?”
“Since Mannni is also fine now, let her express her gratitude to Miss Gu personally.”
The man said, his expectant gaze falling on Gu Siyu.
If she refused, how awkward would that be?
“Gratitude isn’t necessary. As for dinner, it depends on Chen’s wishes.”
Gu Siyu smiled playfully, tossing the question to Bei Ming Hao Chen.
“Mm.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen chuckled and nodded.
Gu Siyu had initially thought he would refuse but was surprised when he actually agreed.
She had assumed that the so-called dinner would involve Yin Manni and that man, along with Gu Siyu and Bei Ming Hao Chen. It wasn’t until she arrived on-site that she realized she had overthought everything.
In the spacious restaurant, around the long rectangular dining table, a large group of people were seated in an orderly fashion, all formally dressed and smiling.
Gu Siyu was simply wearing a floral skirt and hadn’t even tidied her hair. Seeing the solemnity of the scene, she was inevitably stunned…
She instinctively tightened her grip on Bei Ming Hao Chen’s hand. Bei Ming Hao Chen was also in simple clothes, not looking formal at all, yet why did he seem so out of place in this setting…
