Chapter 174: The Ugly Son-in-Law Meets the Parents 2
“Pfft.”
Gu Siyu chuckled, she had never seen such a father.
“Just kidding, just kidding, how could Brother Yi and I work out? He’d be disgusted with me.”
Gu Siyu was really laughing uncontrollably. She never expected her father to say such a thing. She and Ming Yi had known each other for so many years and were often teased, but her own family had never brought it up.
“If he dares to be disgusted with you, I’ll beat him to death.”
Gu Papa frowned. Who dared to be disgusted with his daughter? They truly had no eyes.
“Okay, okay, having such a good father is truly happiness.”
“Here, Papa, eat more.”
Gu Siyu smiled, picked up some delicious food, and handed it to him.
During breakfast, the father and daughter joked quite a bit. However, Gu Papa was serious, while Gu Siyu let it go in one ear and out the other.
—
There was still a week until Gu Papa’s birthday.
Across the nation, a festive atmosphere had already emerged. Most households were discussing this matter during their leisure time.
The King explicitly stated that it should not be overly elaborate and should be kept simple, but people still didn’t listen.
Gu Siyu, having just returned to the country, spent her days playing.
Her mobile phone was ringing off the hook, mostly with calls from Bei Ming Hao Chen. Gu Siyu frowned, not answering any of them. She had left quietly and in advance, so Bei Ming Hao Chen must be very angry.
The events of that day made her very certain that Bei Ming Hao Chen had not lost his memory at all, but was deceiving her.
Gu Siyu wasn’t happy at all that Bei Ming Hao Chen had deceived her. But at the same time, she felt a bit relieved in her heart, relieved that Bei Ming Hao Chen hadn’t forgotten her. Gu Siyu didn’t quite understand what was going on with her. If she said she had no feelings for Bei Ming Hao Chen at all, that would be completely impossible, but…
But that kind of feeling, she couldn’t quite explain it.
Finally, one afternoon, looking at the large pile of messages flooding her mobile phone, Gu Siyu clicked one open.
【 Gu Siyu, if you don’t reply to me again, I’ll make you pay when I find you. 】
【 Gu Siyu, will you die if you answer my calls? Will I eat you or beat you to death? 】
【 Gu Siyu, did someone kill you or what? Reply to me so I know you’re safe. 】
【 Yu Yu, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have deceived you, but I only did it because I like you and lacked a sense of security. 】
【 Yu Yu, can you call me back after seeing this message? A text message would be fine too. 】
From initial righteous indignation to later pleading, every “Yu Yu” sounded particularly jarring to Gu Siyu’s ears.
It was a kind of humble plea, a pathetic desire for someone to care.
Gu Siyu suddenly felt a pang of sympathy.
She opened her contacts, found the number saved as “Bei Ming Scum,” and tapped to call.
In an instant, she wanted to hang up, but it was too late. The ringtone had only sounded for a second before the call was answered. It was clear the other person had been holding their mobile phone, waiting for a call, which was why they answered so quickly.
“Yu Yu, are you not angry anymore?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen lowered his voice, but couldn’t hide the urgency in his tone.
Gu Siyu had never known Bei Ming Hao Chen to speak to her like this. He was usually arrogant and imposing, with such a strong presence. Why was he so submissive now?
“Angry about what?”
Gu Siyu replied.
What was there to be angry about? Regarding his feigned amnesia, Gu Siyu felt more relief in her heart, although there was also a tiny bit of anger…
