Chapter 73: The Boss’s Beloved
Bei Ming Hao Chen was truly patient, feeding Gu Siyu bit by bit until she finished her meal. In reality, Gu Siyu wasn’t hungry to begin with; Bei Ming Hao Chen’s notion that she hadn’t eaten all day was merely his own assumption.
Recalling her mother’s praise for Bei Ming Hao Chen in the video, Gu Siyu frowned. She was certain Bei Ming Hao Chen didn’t know her mother, because if he did, he wouldn’t be acting this way. But then why? Why would her mother have such a good attitude towards Bei Ming Hao Chen?
“Bei Ming Hao Chen, why the sudden change of heart?”
“Don’t you hate me? Why are you being so nice to me?”
Gu Siyu rested her chin on her hand, sitting on the sofa, and asked leisurely.
“Because, no matter how much I hate you, you will eventually be my fiancée, my wife.”
Damn, saying it so seriously, should I take it seriously?
Gu Siyu was truly speechless!
“Who gave you the nerve?”
“You have so much free time in a day, you spend it all on me?”
Gu Siyu raised an eyebrow. Him, the boss of the Asian mafia, having so much free time to hang around at school and then come home to hang around with her? Gu Siyu just couldn’t believe it.
“Spending time with Siyu isn’t wasting time.”
“It’s my honor.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen was shamelessly persistent. Gu Siyu was sure he was lying, because just a moment ago he was blaming her and yelling at her, and now it was an honor? He was fooling himself!
“Get out, get out, I don’t want to see you, I want to rest.”
Gu Siyu stood up, pushed him out, and locked the door. Without Bei Ming Hao Chen, the room became much quieter.
As soon as she sat back on the bed, she received a call from Aili: “Siyu, the cooperation with Su Bo is almost finalized. I might have to go to Zhongnanhai these next couple of days to check on some goods. You, stay here.”
Hearing this, Gu Siyu raised an eyebrow: “I can’t go with you? Is the mission’s confidentiality also directed at me?”
“Shouldn’t I be an exception?”
Gu Siyu understood that every mission on their side was highly confidential to prevent accidents. Generally, specific details weren’t shared with too many people. However, Gu Siyu had always thought she was an exception, that there was no need to hide anything from her.
Had she been overthinking things?
“No, it’s not about keeping things from you. It’s just that Zhongnanhai is a bit chaotic, and it would be dangerous for you to go.”
Aili smiled. What could possibly be hidden from her? That would be a joke!
“Hmph ╯^╰, are you kidding me? You know my abilities very well, how could there be any danger?”
Gu Siyu was indignant. How many people could defeat her?
“Your abilities are certainly great, but accidents are unpredictable. What if something happens? For your safety, and for my safety, it’s better if you don’t go.”
“What do you mean ‘for my safety’? You’re implying I’ll be a burden to you.”
Gu Siyu bristled. Did this mean they didn’t trust her?
“Because if something happens to you, the boss will hold me accountable. As the boss’s darling, my dear, please consider me. I don’t want to be punished by the boss!”
Aili rubbed her forehead. She remembered that whenever Gu Siyu had an accident while out, it was always the people around her who were punished. What could she do? The boss doted on her so much.
Having a strong backing meant she had to be tough!
“I…”
Gu Siyu was speechless. When it came to that, there was actually some reason to it…
