Chapter 12: You Are the One the Bei Ming Family Can’t Afford to Marry Into!
“Um, Hao Chen didn’t pick me up, I thought he had something come up, so I went to Sacred Cherry Academy to report by myself.”
Gu Siyu said suddenly.
Zuo Ning was stunned, feeling incredibly awkward!
This brat, why isn’t he obedient? If he doesn’t hold onto such a good daughter-in-law, she’ll end up with someone else’s family.
“Brat, where did you go? Why didn’t you pick up Siyu?”
Zuo Ning tapped Bei Ming Hao Chen, looking disappointed.
Bei Ming Hao Chen: “……”
Is this girl sick?
Zuo Ning pulled Gu Siyu along and chatted incessantly, from childhood to adulthood.
Watching the two women chattering and laughing, Bei Ming Hao Chen felt an inexplicable irritation and got up to go to his room.
“Siyu, don’t overthink it. My son is just a bit dense and doesn’t understand romance.”
“You’ll get to know him better after spending some time together. He’s actually a pretty good person.”
“Siyu, um, please don’t think badly of Hao Chen.”
“……”
Zuo Ning seemed afraid Gu Siyu would have a bad impression of Bei Ming Hao Chen, and kept explaining.
Gu Siyu couldn’t help but feel embarrassed: This mother is too good, she’s really worrying herself sick!
“What are you saying, Auntie? I understand. Hao Chen has such a noble identity, it’s normal for him not to fancy me.”
“I know my place and won’t overthink things.”
Gu Siyu smiled charmingly.
Zuo Ning felt embarrassed, her heart churning. She silently said, “Siyu, your true identity is what makes our Bei Ming Family unable to reach you. It’s our honor to have you with my son.”
Hearing this, Gu Siyu quickly stopped Zuo Ning: “Not at all, Auntie. You promised you wouldn’t let it slip. If Hao Chen can’t like me as I am now, then he and I won’t have a future.”
Zuo Ning nodded, feeling a bit regretful. No, she had to be a divine helper for such a good daughter-in-law. She had to make her their daughter-in-law no matter what.
Thinking of Gu Siyu’s identity… Zuo Ning felt a wave of embarrassment. It was truly too noble!
“Alright, alright, I know. I’ll go check the kitchen. Why don’t you go upstairs and cultivate some feelings with my Hao Chen?”
Zuo Ning stood up and pointed towards the room upstairs.
Gu Siyu nodded.
Internally, she grumbled: Cultivate feelings? Bei Ming Hao Chen’s look as if he wants to kill her is the real him. Where are there any feelings to cultivate?
However, she slowly walked upstairs. Bei Ming Hao Chen’s door wasn’t closed, it was slightly ajar. Through the gap, Gu Siyu saw his back, sitting in front of the computer, his fingers typing rapidly.
Was he… playing a game?
Gu Siyu pushed the door open and walked in.
Bei Ming Hao Chen was playing an online game. Seeing that he was about to lose, a hand suddenly appeared on the keyboard and pressed a few keys rapidly.
“Victory!”
Gu Siyu looked at the victory screen displayed on the monitor and a smile curved her lips.
“Your skill is a bit lacking!”
Gu Siyu blurted out, then turned and sat behind Bei Ming Hao Chen.
Bei Ming Hao Chen clenched his fists, feeling… so humiliated!
“This Young Master is undefeated!”
Bei Ming Hao Chen retorted indignantly.
It was true that he was undefeated, but that was just a momentary lapse. His mind wasn’t on the game, and Gu Siyu, that girl, had seized the opportunity!
