Chapter 80: A Fiancée Isn’t Necessarily Singular
Gu Siyu’s small movements were seen by Bei Ming Hao Chen as a sign of dependence on him, so Bei Ming Hao Chen was very happy. He didn’t show any embarrassment; instead, a smug smile curved his lips.
He tightly clasped Gu Siyu’s small hand and led her inside. The long dining table had only two empty seats, which were next to each other.
Being led in by Bei Ming Hao Chen, Gu Siyu felt something was not quite right until she sat down.
Why was the atmosphere so heavy? Why hadn’t Bei Ming Hao Chen told her in advance that this so-called meal would be so formal? Was he deliberately trying to embarrass her?
Gu Siyu pinched Bei Ming Hao Chen’s waist hard, frowned, and muttered in a low voice, “Are you doing this on purpose?”
“It hurts, be gentle.”
Bei Ming Hao Chen gasped and said, “Don’t mess around, there are so many people here.”
His voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone present to hear clearly.
Gu Siyu felt embarrassed; she really thought Bei Ming Hao Chen was doing it on purpose.
Yin Manni’s seat was opposite Bei Ming Hao Chen, sitting with her uncle.
Seeing Bei Ming Hao Chen and Gu Siyu flirting at this moment, she felt a surge of frustration.
“Hahahaha, Young Master Bei Ming is truly doting on his fiancée.”
The man at the head of the table laughed heartily, his tone full of teasing.
“Of course, I only have one fiancée, so if I don’t dote on her, what if I lose her?”
Bei Ming Hao Chen showed no embarrassment, stating it as a matter of course. As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent. This Young Master Bei Ming was rumored to be very cold, yet he was so doting on a girl now; it was truly rare.
It was well known that Young Master Bei Ming had a very good relationship with the Yin Family’s little princess, but they had never seen Bei Ming Hao Chen protect Yin Manni like this!
Indeed, the treatment was vastly different.
“Brother Chen, what you said is wrong. One can have many fiancées, and even many wives. After all, divorce is so common nowadays.”
Yin Manni suddenly spoke, her words flowing smoothly without any hesitation.
Why was it so smooth?
Gu Siyu grinned. What did this girl mean by that?
“Mannni, what are you saying?”
Yin Manni’s uncle frowned and reprimanded her.
“That’s just how it is.”
Yin Manni pouted; she wasn’t wrong.
“Alright, alright, stop talking and let’s eat quickly.”
The man at the head of the table spoke, stopping Yin Manni from continuing.
Only Bei Ming Hao Chen and Gu Siyu were relaxed at the scene. During the meal, Bei Ming Hao Chen continuously served Gu Siyu, peeled lobsters for her, and removed fish bones.
He was incredibly doting.
“Miss Gu, thank you for saving Mannni. She’s not a good swimmer, and if it weren’t for you just now, something might have happened.”
“Mannni, quickly, thank Miss Gu.”
The man tugged Yin Manni, who was reluctant. After a long pause, she finally said, “Thank you.”
Although she said thank you, there was no gratitude in her words at all.
Gu Siyu could tell, but she didn’t want to say anything. She smiled slightly and replied, “You’re too kind. Miss Yin is Brother Chen’s childhood sweetheart, after all.”
*Pfft*… Why did those words sound like jealousy? A sour feeling…
Didn’t she feel embarrassed?
