Chapter 30: Dreaming of Engagement!
“Hahaha, what’s there to be embarrassed about? It’s normal for a man to protect his woman.”
Zuo Ning laughed heartily, expressing her happiness that Bei Ming Hao Chen’s attitude towards Gu Siyu had improved.
She knew it, Gu Siyu was such a good girl, how could her son not like her.
“Son, your father is very busy lately. He said that once he’s free, he’ll hold an engagement ceremony for you two, so everyone will know Yu Yu is your fiancée.”
Zuo Ning said to Bei Ming Hao Chen.
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Bei Ming Hao Chen was stunned, but even Gu Siyu was taken aback. She never expected this to happen.
Who wanted to get engaged to him and let everyone know? Gu Siyu wasn’t stupid; if it were made public, it would be troublesome for her to get away later.
“Um, Mom, there’s no need, right? We know ourselves.”
“Besides, we don’t know each other well yet and aren’t sure if we’re compatible. What if we find out later that we’re not suitable to be together, and it’s already public? It wouldn’t be good for our families or the group.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen replied, frowning.
Seeing Bei Ming Hao Chen object, Gu Siyu quickly added fuel to the fire: “Auntie, Hao Chen is right. Although we have an engagement, we haven’t spent time together.”
“Why don’t we try to be together for a while first? If it’s suitable, then we’ll talk. If not, breaking up is simple.”
For the first time, Gu Siyu and Bei Ming Hao Chen were on the same side.
Bei Ming Hao Chen raised an eyebrow and looked at her. What was this girl up to again? Didn’t she try every means to let everyone know their identity?
And now she was objecting.
Zuo Ning didn’t see it that way. She thought Gu Siyu was being considerate: “You girl, you’re thinking too much. Being able to marry you is a blessing our Bei Ming family has earned in past lives.”
“How could we not be suitable? If he bullies you, just tell me, and your uncle and I will help you.”
“As for the engagement ceremony, we can’t listen to you on this matter.”
Zuo Ning’s attitude was firm, brooking no argument.
Bei Ming Hao Chen couldn’t understand why Gu Siyu was so good that his mother repeatedly emphasized that marrying her was the Bei Ming family’s honor.
The Bei Ming family’s influence was such that others would always be the ones trying to climb up, yet she said that marrying Gu Siyu was the Bei Ming family “climbing up.”
Even though the two of them were united against her, they couldn’t change Zuo Ning’s mind, so they simply gave up. Anyway, Mr. Bei Ming was extremely busy, and by the time he was free, it might be months later, and she could leave by then.

When they returned to their rooms, the two bumped into each other at the top of the stairs. Bei Ming Hao Chen lowered his voice and said, “Don’t think that just because you said that, I’ll change my mind about you.”
“Dream on about getting engaged!”
Gu Siyu raised an eyebrow and let out a light laugh.
Did he think she was deliberately putting on a show for him? He thought too highly of himself.
“You’re overthinking it. I’m not interested in someone who parties all the time.”
Gu Siyu dropped a sentence and entered her room.
Bei Ming Hao Chen frowned, and suddenly a face appeared in his mind: the waitress he had unintentionally saved in the bar’s private room that afternoon.
Although she looked ordinary, she gave him a strangely familiar feeling. Moreover, when Ou Yang was about to shoot him, it was that girl who pushed him, meaning they had each saved each other’s lives…
