Chapter 193: The Ugly Son-in-Law Meets the Parents 21
The luxury car slowly entered the royal family’s grounds and stopped at the designated spot.
Gu Siyu got out of the car and followed Bei Ming Hao Chen.
“Where are we going?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen vaguely felt something was wrong. The area they were in at the moment looked incredibly luxurious, more like the central part of the royal family’s grounds.
“Are you stupid?”
Gu Siyu rolled her eyes; wasn’t he asking a question he already knew the answer to?
However, just thinking about Bei Ming Hao Chen’s expression when he saw her parents later made her inexplicably want to laugh.
Gu Siyu just thought about it and felt an inexplicable urge to laugh.
“What are you laughing at?” The little girl was laughing openly, without any pretense. Bei Ming Hao Chen looked suspicious, feeling that this girl was hiding something from him.
Gu Siyu didn’t answer, but instead, she grabbed his hand and skipped forward.
“My mother likes boys who are handsome and good-looking, and my father likes boys who are capable and steady.”
As Gu Siyu walked, she suddenly said this.
They encountered many people passing by, who seemed to be servants of the royal family. Every time they wanted to greet them, Gu Siyu would stop them with a look.
Bei Ming Hao Chen raised an eyebrow. What was she trying to do by telling him this now?
Good-looking? He should meet that standard.
Steady and capable? Bei Ming Hao Chen wasn’t boasting; he was sure he met that standard 100%.
So, does this mean that Gu Siyu’s parents’ hurdle would be easily cleared?
The royal architecture was in the Roman style. Gu Siyu led Bei Ming Hao Chen through several turns and passed through a few palaces before finally arriving at a palace that looked low-key yet sophisticated.
At this moment, fifty meters in front of the palace gate, a person stood every five meters, creating a grand display.
As soon as Bei Ming Hao Chen entered, he noticed a different atmosphere.
“Good afternoon, Princess.”
“Good afternoon, Young Master Bei Ming.”
A synchronized ninety-degree bow and greeting.
Bei Ming Hao Chen was stunned for a moment. It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen such a scene before; his subordinates usually had a more imposing aura, and he hadn’t felt anything. But the key was that these people had just called out… Princess?
Bei Ming Hao Chen frowned and glanced at Gu Siyu.
Gu Siyu giggled and pulled him into the palace.
“Oh, you must be Hao Chen, right? You’re so handsome.”
“My taste is indeed good; the person I fancy is outstanding.”
As soon as they entered, Gu Siyu’s mother stood up and said with a smile.
Gu Papa coughed softly, signaling her to mind her image. After all, her current identity was the Queen, second only to the King, and she had to maintain a serious demeanor at all times.
“Did you eat straw? Should I send someone to get you some water?”
“We’re all family, why are you so concerned?”
Gu Mama glared at her husband from the car, knowing what he was thinking.
In any case, she found Bei Ming Hao Chen quite pleasing to the eye from the first moment she saw him.
“Mom, Dad, what are you doing?”
“Honestly, you two never stop bickering.”
Gu Siyu was helpless. Didn’t they see Bei Ming Hao Chen standing right there? They were still acting like this; honestly.
“Come, come, Hao Chen, come and sit.”
“Yu Yu, hurry and bring Hao Chen over.”
Gu Mama was very fond of Bei Ming Hao Chen. One reason was that he was genuinely handsome, and Gu Mama was a fan of good looks. Another reason was that Bei Ming Hao Chen’s mother was her best friend, a classmate from many years ago.
Gu Siyu led Bei Ming Hao Chen to sit down. Throughout the entire process, Bei Ming Hao Chen didn’t say a word.
His silence was somewhat eerie.
“Hao Chen, what’s wrong? Here, have some fresh fruit, eat more.”
“What would you like to drink?”
“What would you like to eat later? I’ll have the servants prepare it?”
Gu Mama was extremely enthusiastic, while Gu Papa’s expression was grim.
Gu Siyu was always smiling.
She leaned close to Bei Ming Hao Chen’s ear and whispered, “I’m sorry, I lied to you.”
“But this is really the last time, and it’s a well-intentioned lie, isn’t it?”
Gu Siyu looked at Bei Ming Hao Chen, who remained silent, his expression not very good. She wondered if he was angry again.
“Hello, Auntie. Hello, Uncle.”
“I came unannounced and didn’t bring any gifts. Please forgive me, Uncle and Auntie.”
Just when Gu Siyu thought Bei Ming Hao Chen wouldn’t speak, he stood up, bowed slightly towards the King and Queen, and smiled in greeting.
Gu Siyu: (T_T) Is he too angry? Why is he acting so strangely?
“Such impolite behavior from a junior.”
“And you still want to be with my Yu Yu. Is this your sincerity?”
“Yu Yu praised you to the skies, and this is the result?”
The King snorted, not very pleased.
Hmph ╯^╰, he’s just a young brat. Why do his wife and daughter both like him? He’s not even that handsome. Is it that serious?
The King was jealous in his heart, not knowing why.
“I sincerely apologize for coming without understanding the situation. Please forgive me.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen swore that he had never spoken in such a humble tone to anyone before. This was the first time, and the only reason was that these were Gu Siyu’s parents!
“What are you talking about?”
“Don’t you dare blame my son-in-law. Hao Chen is so outstanding, what are you saying?”
Gu Mama was displeased and walked over to lightly scold her husband.
“Yu Yu, come, take some food to Hao Chen.”
“Lunch will be ready soon. You can rest for a bit and then head to the restaurant.”
“Yes, Hao Chen, how has your mother been recently? It’s been a long time since I’ve seen her; I really miss her.”
Gu Mama didn’t act like the Mother of the Nation at all. She was amiable and even a bit goofy at times. In short, she gave off a very relaxed vibe.
Bei Ming Hao Chen smiled and politely answered all of Gu Mama’s questions throughout.
He answered everything, including his family, studies, and future plans, one by one.
Gu Mama nodded continuously, becoming more and more satisfied with this son-in-law.
Gu Siyu’s lips curved. Why did she find this guy so handsome?
She wrapped her arms around him and rested her head on his arm, looking exceptionally dependent.
She completely ignored the two elders present.
Bei Ming Hao Chen did the same, gently stroking Gu Siyu’s long hair with his large hand and affectionately squeezing her small hand. Their interaction was exceptionally intimate. Gu Mama watched the entire scene with great satisfaction.
This was the first time her daughter had shown such dependence; she looked as clingy as fruit candy.
It seemed this young man was truly good.
“At only 18 years old, instead of studying hard and striving for the future, you’re focused on romantic relationships. What kind of future do you have?”
The King interjected impatiently.
“The engagement was decided by the elders of both families. I am merely obeying, and being with Yu Yu does not affect my studies or my future.”
“In fact, it might lead to a better future for me.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen replied.
