Chapter 107: Painfully Bright

Bao Sihan gets jealous very easily. In his eyes, Gu Wenyan's importance is self-evident, so once he discovers that someone else's relationship with Gu Wenyan is becoming more intimate…

he can't stand it and finds it hard to stay calm.

Even though he also knows that the three young masters of the Gu Family are only Gu Wenyan's blood-related brothers.

No matter how much they dote on her, at most they can occasionally care for her. Only he is the one who can accompany Gu Wenyan for a lifetime, who can walk forward with her forever.

But knowing this in his heart doesn't mean Bao Sihan can actually treat it calmly.

Just as Gu Wenyan wanted to say something more to him, she realized that Bao Sihan had already hung up the phone.

Was it because something else came up suddenly, or… was he angry?

While Gu Wenyan was worrying about this, Gu Yeting's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke up to remind her: "The soil I prepared is about ready. Do you want to come take a look?"

Gu Wenyan thought for a moment: "Got it, I'll be right over."

Bao Sihan probably wouldn't really get angry over this, right?

She'd call him back later to coax him…

Anyway, he's actually pretty easy to coax.

Gu Wenyan smiled.

Although everyone thinks the Head of the Bo Family is very hard to approach, and everyone thinks Bao Sihan is an unfeeling man who must be kept at a distance, or else terrible luck will surely follow.

But once you become familiar with him… you'll understand that Bao Sihan is actually nothing like what those people think.

Bao Sihan isn't that scary.

Gu Wenyan can feel countless gentleness from him.

Of course, up to now, it seems only she herself can experience these different sides of him… and what others feel is indeed only that cold, heartless Head of the Bo Family.

But if everyone sees Bao Sihan as that kind of person…

Gu Wenyan pressed her lips together. What's the point?

What she has always wanted is Bao Sihan's special favor. That is what is precious to her, what she cares about most.

It is what she considers the most unique thing about Bao Sihan to her.

Gu Yeting was seriously and earnestly turning over the soil. The soil he was responsible for handling was basically all prepared according to Gu Wenyan's requirements. m.

Gu Wenyan carefully inspected it and confirmed there were no problems, then reluctantly nodded: "You should rest now. It's good."

"Is it good? Don't you need me to do anything else?"

Gu Wenyan shot him a look: "What, you still think it's not enough and want to keep working?"

"Doing these things for you isn't only natural?"

Gu Yeting's sudden attitude made Gu Wenyan want to laugh a little. She held back the smile at the corner of her mouth.

This person is really something. Back when he was so cold to her, even glancing at her seemed to dirty his eyes.

But now, he's so gentle with her. She wonders if he thinks back on his previous attitude… and feels especially slapped in the face, feels an unprecedented sense of regret?

But whether Gu Yeting regrets it or not has no effect on Gu Wenyan…

She went on to check on her second brother and eldest brother. Clearly, they were also nearly done, having quickly finished the other preparatory work. What remained was for Gu Wenyan to handle herself.

She said seriously: "That's it for today. Thank you all for your help."

"Why be so polite with us?" Gu Yechen looked at Gu Wenyan with a gentle expression, showing none of his former coldness.

The three young masters of the Gu Family all have extremely high standards. When Gu Wenyan first returned to the Gu Family, they were exceptionally disdainful of her, not taking her seriously at all.

But now… they are even willing to break their original rules for Gu Wenyan.

They can do many things that are unexpected.

Just from Gu Mianmian's expression earlier, Gu Wenyan could tell that they wouldn't have done such things in the past.

Especially her second brother, Gu Yefeng — these hands that only hold paintbrushes actually helped her process these plant seeds today.

Clearly, to him these were dirty things, yet now he actually seemed to find great enjoyment in it.

Gu Yefeng smiled: "I didn't expect planting flowers to be such a relaxing process."

Gu Wenyan nodded: "Right? But a lot of people actually can't really feel the enjoyment in it. If you like it, Second Brother… from now on, come plant flowers with me whenever you're free."

"Sure."

Gu Yechen said: "As long as I'm free, I can accompany you too."

"Great!" Gu Wenyan smiled happily. This smile once again stung Gu Yeting.

His face went cold: "What, there's no place for me? Seems like you don't need me at all."

"Isn't that what you said before? I'm not your sister to you. Whatever I do, you wouldn't care. So why should I care what you want to do?"

"…" Gu Yeting now thoroughly understood what it meant to shoot himself in the foot, and how much it hurt.

The more enthusiastically he used to curse Gu Wenyan, the more devastated he is now. No matter what he did, he already regrets it.

But regretting now is completely useless, because Gu Wenyan doesn't trust him at all anymore.

No matter what he says, Gu Wenyan will only think he's lying, or that everything he does will eventually turn into a lie.

Clearly, he wasn't the only one who said harsh things to Gu Wenyan back then. Eldest Brother and Second Brother said things too… but now it seems his little sister dislikes him the most!

Gu Yeting also doesn't understand where exactly he went wrong, making Gu Wenyan hold a grudge like this. Apart from regret, there's only regret.

But what can he do? If he wants Gu Wenyan's forgiveness… he can only keep enduring.

Gu Wenyan didn't pay any more attention to Gu Yeting, but all three brothers stood nearby watching as she planted flowers.

Suddenly, a servant reported: "The Head of the Bo Family has arrived."

Gu Wenyan's eyes lit up. She quickly washed her hands and looked toward the door.

The man striding over had cold eyes but was extremely handsome. Upon seeing her, a gentle smile appeared in his icy gaze.

Gu Wenyan threw herself at him. Bao Sihan smoothly wrapped his arm around her waist: "Did you miss me?"

Gu Wenyan smiled sweetly: "I did. Why did you suddenly come over? I thought when you hung up on me earlier… you were angry at me."

Bao Sihan reached out and gently nuzzled Gu Wenyan's cheek: "How could I ever be angry with you? I just wanted to hurry over and see you, so I didn't keep talking with you."

"Oh, so does that count as a surprise for me?"

"If you say it counts, then it counts."

Gu Wenyan hugged him again, nuzzling against Bao Sihan's chest, before suddenly remembering that her three other brothers were still there.

She pulled away from his embrace, turned her head to look at them, and suddenly felt a little awkward.

Being seen being so intimate with Bao Sihan made Gu Wenyan a bit embarrassed too.

"You all…"

Gu Wenyan didn't know what to say either, so she could only talk about anything but the real subject: "If there's nothing else, go ahead and get busy. Having Si Han here to keep me company is enough."

Gu Yeting, however, said: "I'm free as can be today. I'm staying right here — not going anywhere!"
