Chapter 194: The Ugly Son-in-Law Meets the Parents 22
“To come to my Royal Family dressed like this, you completely disregard me and Yu Yu’s mother. What kind of behavior is this?”
The King reprimanded.
“Every parent hopes to see their children happy; everything else is just fleeting clouds.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen retorted.
After all, he was someone who had seen the world. Even though Bei Ming Hao Chen had not expected Gu Siyu’s identity at all, he was still calm and composed facing the King and Queen at this moment.
The King was angry. Not only was this brat not showing him respect, but he was also refuting him in every sentence. If his daughter were to marry him, wouldn’t she be walking all over him?
The King was so angry he was puffing his beard and glaring, but the Queen chuckled. She walked over and said to Bei Ming Hao Chen, “This is just his personality, don’t take it to heart.”
“However, I heard Yu Yu say that you weren’t very satisfied with her. So, is your engagement to be annulled or…”
The Queen remembered Gu Siyu’s previous complaints and asked casually.
Before she could finish speaking, Bei Ming Hao Chen answered unexpectedly, “No.”
“I am not dissatisfied with Yu Yu; I like her very much.”
“I promise to treat Yu Yu well and not let her suffer any grievances.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen raised two fingers and swore.
Gu Siyu smiled from the side. This brat had clearly been disgusted with her before, but now, his words were somewhat touching. However… she felt the change was too sudden and a bit unreal.
Gu Mama nodded with satisfaction. She knew it. That Bei Ming Hao Chen must be a good person. Yu Yu always complained to her, probably because she didn’t understand Bei Ming Hao Chen well at the time, and there were some misunderstandings between them, which was why it was like that.
Someone requested an audience with the King and Queen, so they left, asking Gu Siyu to show Bei Ming Hao Chen around the Royal Family’s residence.
——
Bei Ming Hao Chen followed Gu Siyu, silent, with no expression on his face. Gu Siyu couldn’t guess his thoughts and felt a pang of unease.
“The flowers in the garden over there have bloomed. I’ll take you to see them; they’re my favorite.”
“They’re so beautiful, let’s go.”
Gu Siyu didn’t ask for Bei Ming Hao Chen’s opinion but directly pulled him along.
Around the corner behind them, a man stood watching Gu Siyu happily chatting with Bei Ming Hao Chen, and a certain part of his heart felt particularly uncomfortable.
Bei Ming Hao Chen? Is this Bei Ming Hao Chen? Heh—
——
“Gu Siyu!”
Suddenly, Bei Ming Hao Chen stopped walking and called out to Gu Siyu.
Gu Siyu was startled, then stopped and looked at him.
“What is it?”
“Let’s go, it’s just ahead.”
Gu Siyu asked.
However, she didn’t dare to meet Bei Ming Hao Chen’s gaze directly.
“Gu Siyu.”
“In your heart, what kind of person am I?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen asked expressionlessly.
“Tall, handsome, rich local tyrant, perfect boyfriend. Loved by everyone, admired by flowers, and causes cars to have flat tires.”
“Speak properly.”
Gu Siyu was in the middle of showering him with praise when Bei Ming Hao Chen’s roar made her immediately fall silent.
Fine, he’s yelling at her. Why? Gu Siyu was unhappy.
Hmph ╯^╰ I didn’t do anything wrong, why is he yelling at me? Gu Siyu felt wronged, pouted, and glared unhappily at Bei Ming Hao Chen, as if saying, “I’m unhappy, you have to coax me.”
“What’s wrong? I’m telling the truth.”
Gu Siyu retorted unconvincingly.
Hmph ╯^╰ Yelling at her in her own home? He’s too bold! Gu Siyu was so angry. He said he would cherish her and not let her suffer any grievances, but only a few minutes later, he’s yelling at her?
“Gu Siyu, do you think I’m someone so shallow that I only care about status and identity?”
“Gu Siyu, why do you see me this way?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen felt uncomfortable and angry, and it was indeed true.
When Gu Siyu told him that morning that she was the daughter of a servant, he hadn’t felt deceived at all, just that it didn’t matter. But just now, upon entering this Royal Palace and hearing those people respectfully bow and call Gu Siyu Princess, Bei Ming Hao Chen became enraged.
He was truly angry. Did Gu Siyu always think he valued status and identity, using her identity as a servant to test him, and then using her identity as a Princess to give him a surprise or a shock?
Heh, Bei Ming Hao Chen was not angry about Gu Siyu deceiving him, but about the lack of trust!
He thought Gu Siyu truly believed him, or at least wouldn’t use trivial matters like identity as a constraint.
“I, I didn’t!”
Gu Siyu felt somewhat bewildered. She didn’t understand why he could accept her identity as a servant, but not her identity as a Princess? Why was he so angry?
Why, exactly?
“Heh, forget it, let’s go.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen chuckled and didn’t say much more.
He wasn’t really angry about her deceiving him, but rather that she didn’t trust him from the bottom of her heart.
Bei Ming Hao Chen finally understood why his mother had told him back then that being with Gu Siyu was actually them being the ones who had married up.
Bei Ming Hao Chen sneered, “Married up? Is that so~”
She was indeed a Princess of Spain, so it was indeed marrying up.
Looking at Bei Ming Hao Chen like this, Gu Siyu felt a little scared. What, what did she do wrong? Why did Bei Ming Hao Chen suddenly become so terrifying?
“Hmm? Why aren’t you walking?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen had already walked several steps but noticed the little girl was still standing there, not moving. He couldn’t help but stop and turn back to ask.
Gu Siyu pouted, then took small steps to catch up, pulling his arm with slight dissatisfaction and pouting, “What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?”
“Who’s unhappy? Didn’t you say the flowers over there are beautiful? Let’s go, show me.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen forced a smile. He finally understood. This girl was just silly. He had been angry for so long, and she didn’t even know the reason.
Sigh~ Bei Ming Hao Chen sighed. He had overestimated this girl.
“Oh.”
Seeing that he wasn’t going to say anything, Gu Siyu decided not to ask further. If he wanted to talk, he would; if not, hmph ╯^╰.
The Royal Family had a very large garden, and it was truly beautiful. However, Bei Ming Hao Chen, being a man, wasn’t particularly interested in flowers and plants. Gu Siyu, on the other hand, started chattering non-stop as soon as they entered.
“Hehe, I didn’t lie to you, right? Isn’t it beautiful?”
“This purple one is the most beautiful. My father personally planted it on my birthday last year.”
“Oh, and this one, baby’s breath. I planted it myself, it was so rewarding.”
Gu Siyu was extremely excited. Most of the plants in this garden were planted by professional gardeners, and some were planted by Gu Siyu with her parents…
