Chapter 118: She Too Will Marry

Gu Wenyan suddenly froze, then questioned him: "But do you think you have the right to throw such a tantrum?"

"Bao Sihan marrying me, me marrying him — it was my own choice, not his coercion. Gu Yeting, what gives you the right to interfere in everything between him and me?"

"Of course it's because… I'm your brother!"

"You consider me your sister today, but what about before? You probably didn't take me seriously either."

A flicker of pain surfaced in Gu Yeting's eyes: "I've said it before, I regretted it long ago. What happened before was my fault… So from now on, I'll prove with real actions that I can do it."

"I will become your brother, take care of you, protect you well…"

Gu Yeting stood before Gu Wenyan, earnestly making his promise, not a trace of a smile on his face — especially serious and solemn.

Gu Wenyan knew Gu Yeting wasn't lying, wasn't joking with her, and had no possibility of going back on his word.

But… Gu Wenyan still didn't trust Gu Yeting that much.

She also stated directly: "I'm not someone who trusts easily, especially after being betrayed and deceived. So you should know exactly what I'm feeling toward you right now."

"I know, and I've said it too — no matter when, I will keep persisting."

Gu Yeting's words touched Gu Wenyan, but once bitten by a snake, one fears a well rope for three years — she was in that state now.

Therefore, she couldn't be sure when she might be able to trust Gu Yeting.

Or whether, after trusting him, she would get hurt again…

Of course, Gu Yeting's current attitude was getting closer and closer to what Gu Wenyan wanted.

Occasionally, she could give him some sweet moments too — she couldn't let Gu Yeting always be this disappointed. At the very least, all she wanted was for Gu Yeting to care about her enough.

Even to let go of Gu Mianmian, and never care about Gu Mianmian again from now on.

And to have only her, this sister, in his heart.

Gu Wenyan sighed softly: "I'll keep what you said in mind. One day in the future… if I can confirm you weren't lying, maybe I can forgive what you did before. I hope such a day will come."

Gu Yeting and Gu Wenyan went home together, the corners of his mouth perpetually lifted.

Although Gu Wenyan hadn't promised him anything, what she said earlier already showed her attitude softening, giving Gu Yeting a certain chance.

Giving him hope.

Gu Mianmian stood not far away watching them leave, her gaze exceedingly venomous. She silently told herself… be patient, wait — she would definitely wait for her chance to teach Gu Wenyan a proper lesson!

On the way home, Gu Wenyan suddenly thought of the topics everyone had been discussing today and casually asked: "Are you single right now?"

"What? You want to introduce a girlfriend to me?"

"Whether you have a girlfriend or not, what's it got to do with me? I just thought about how the employees at our company talk about you… what exactly do they see in you?"

The man gave a casual smile, his temperament and bearing especially captivating.

But in Gu Wenyan's eyes, Gu Yeting was still that annoying brother of hers.

Gu Yeting said lightly: "Maybe it's because I'm good-looking. Can you deny that?"

Gu Wenyan huffed: "Fine, even if you are good-looking, but… wait, you still haven't answered my question just now?"

"No, I don't really have any interest in dating right now."

"Why? Apart from you, are Eldest Brother and Second Brother also still single?"

"That's right."

"Mom and Dad aren't even worried? With you all like this, they don't push you?"

Gu Yeting shrugged indifferently: "Because pushing is useless. After all, the choice is in our hands. So unless we're willing ourselves, no matter how much they push, it won't make much difference."

"…Fine, then has Eldest Brother ever dated before? What about Second Brother?"

"You'd better go ask them about their own business. If I tell you now, they'll get mad at me again."

"Oh, whatever then."

Gu Yeting laughed: "As long as you ask, they'll definitely tell you — they won't hide anything from you."

"Forget it, that's their privacy, their business. I don't need to ask."

"Although it's their privacy, you're their sister, and mine too. So any questions you ask us, we can all answer… Wen Yan, I hope you can be clear about this, and don't feel like you're far away from us because of it."

Gu Wenyan didn't take Gu Yeting's words to heart. After getting home, she indeed saw quite a few Gu Family relatives at the house.

These people had come before, but they weren't close with Gu Wenyan. This time, it might be because they knew Gu Wenyan and Bao Sihan's wedding was about to be held — and that she was being married into the Bo Family by Bao Sihan with the highest standards possible…

So their attitude toward Gu Wenyan was noticeably much warmer, and their perception of her had also changed. Tonight, Gu Wenyan was finally no longer that invisible person sitting in the corner, ignored by everyone.

She had even become the main character of the day.

While everyone was discussing the topic of Gu Wenyan's marriage, Wang Ma suddenly said: "Mianmian is just at the right age now — it's about time we arrange a marriage for her."

Gu Mianmian's face flushed red: "Wang Ma, what are you saying? I'm still young. There's no rush about this."

"What's there not to rush about? Your sister isn't much older than you, and now she's about to get married. You can start thinking about this now, and when you reach marriageable age, you can just find a man you like to marry, right?"

"I don't want to! I want to stay at the Gu Family, I want to be with my brothers, I want to stay by Mom and Dad's side forever…" Gu Mianmian said coquettishly, and also sat down next to Ye Yiwen.

She patted Gu Mianmian's head: "Yes, Wang Ma, don't worry. Mianmian is still young now…"

"Once Yan Yan gets married, in another two years, I will definitely pick a suitable boyfriend for Mianmian."

Wang Ma sighed: "What a pity. No matter how you pick in Jingcheng now, there probably isn't anyone better than the Bo Family… I heard Bao Sihan still has a few younger cousins, they should be about the right age too. Let's see if there's a chance later — if our family and the Bo Family could…"

Wang Ma was cut off mid-sentence by Gu Yeting: "Wang Ma, Wen Yan marrying Bao Sihan is one thing, but Mianmian can't have any more ties with the Bo Family. Our Gu Family doesn't need to curry favor with their Bo Family just to survive."

Gu Yeting now found Bao Sihan especially disagreeable, so he was completely unwilling to let his other sister marry into the Bo Family as well.

Wang Ma's eyes flickered, and she smiled: "I spoke out of turn. Indeed, we shouldn't think that way. But… whoever marries Mianmian in the future will definitely be one of Jingcheng's top Eldest Young Masters!"
