Chapter 102: You’re a Really Unqualified Fiancé
Gu Siyu was rendered speechless by what was said. Although it wasn’t exactly as Bei Ming Hao Chen described, her going to Zhongnanhai was indeed not to ask him for the agreement to break off the engagement. Moreover, she had no idea Bei Ming Hao Chen would be there beforehand. If she had known he would also come, Gu Siyu swore she would never have gone, even if beaten to death.
Seeing Gu Siyu’s silence, Bei Ming Hao Chen chuckled, inwardly thinking his guess was correct; Gu Siyu indeed still liked him.
“Since that’s the case, stop making a fuss. Be a good Young Madam of the Bei Ming family, and this Young Master will treat you well.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen spoke, and as he did, he naturally pulled Gu Siyu closer into his embrace. The distance between them became exceptionally close, so close that Gu Siyu could feel Bei Ming Hao Chen’s strong heartbeat.
To be honest, Gu Siyu didn’t quite understand herself. She clearly didn’t want to have too much to do with Bei Ming Hao Chen, yet she couldn’t resist his closeness. What was going on?
***
Bei Ming Manor.
Madam Bei Ming and Mr. Bei Ming were both at home. Upon hearing from a servant that Bei Ming Hao Chen and Gu Siyu had returned, both their sights fell upon the doorway.
It wasn’t Gu Siyu’s first time meeting Bei Ming Hao Chen’s father, but each time she met him, she felt a peculiar sensation. She had initially thought that the person in charge of such a prominent family as the Bei Ming Family would surely be exceptionally cold and ruthless, somewhat similar to Bei Ming Hao Chen’s personality. However, in reality, Mr. Bei Ming gave her the impression of a gentle and refined man, whose entire focus was on his wife.
How could he be the legendary figure who commanded influence in both the underworld and legitimate circles?
“Yu Yu, you’re back?”
“Are you alright? Why did you leave without saying anything? I was so worried.”
As soon as Zuo Ning saw Gu Siyu, she walked over with concern and pulled her close. Bei Ming Hao Chen’s embrace suddenly became empty, and he felt a pang of displeasure.
“Mom, don’t just say whatever comes to mind. Who told you I went to Zhongnanhai?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen remembered what Gu Siyu had said and began to question his mother.
Zuo Ning was instantly bewildered. What was going on? How could she have told Gu Siyu?
Gu Siyu’s heart skipped a beat. It was over. She had just made up a casual excuse at the time and never expected him to come asking about it.
Zuo Ning definitely didn’t know. What should she do? Would she be found out?
“Uh, well, Auntie, I…”
Gu Siyu stammered, trying to find a plausible excuse to cover her lie, but for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
“Yu Yu missed you, so what if I told her? You’re a truly unqualified fiancé, not informing Yu Yu in advance when you go somewhere!”
Zuo Ning’s eyes widened instantly, and she reprimanded Bei Ming Hao Chen with dissatisfaction.
Gu Siyu: （╯－＿－）╯╧╧
Bei Ming Hao Chen: Blame me? ┴┴︵╰（‵□′）╯︵┴┴
Gu Siyu was quite surprised that Zuo Ning would speak up for her.
“Alright, alright, my fault. Women, indeed, cannot be reasoned with.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen nodded, then walked towards his room, ignoring the people in the living room.
After Bei Ming Hao Chen left, Gu Siyu looked at Zuo Ning with confusion, not understanding why she had helped her just now.
“Yu Yu, you really don’t want Hao Chen to know your identity?”
“Actually…”
Zuo Ning hesitated. How to put it? She and her husband knew Gu Siyu’s true identity, which was why they understood how fortunate it would be if Gu Siyu were to be with their son. But the key was that her son remained unaware.
Given Gu Siyu’s identity, if she herself was unwilling to be with Bei Ming Hao Chen, then no matter what, the outcome would certainly not be entirely satisfactory.
