Chapter 131: Husband Comes First

Bao Sihan saw the woman in the red gown walking toward him from afar, and as Gu Wenyan drew close, he immediately pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and pressed a kiss to her cheek: "Why didn't you come with the Gu Family?"

"You're already here… of course I have to be with you. You are my… husband, after all — your status is different."

That sentence delighted Bao Sihan, pleasing him immensely.

Even with that cold, aloof face of his, Bao Sihan could not help but show a joyful smile.

"Is there anything you want to buy today? Just tell me."

"No need, I have things I want to photograph myself today, I don't need you to pay for me."

Bao Sihan looked at her intently: "Baby, I like doing this."

Gu Wenyan said shyly: "I know, but… it's fine. Everything of yours is mine anyway. Right now I happen to have the ability to pay for these things myself, so let me handle it myself for now, okay?"

Still, what Gu Wenyan said wasn't wrong — everything of Bao Sihan's… was hers anyway.

Every single cent he earned now was the couple's joint marital property; when he married Gu Wenyan, he had not signed any prenuptial agreement.

Therefore, all of this could belong to Gu Wenyan now.

Others might find it hard to imagine.

With a family fortune like Bao Sihan's, the money he earned every day was an enormously vast sum — anyone else might well be unable to bear parting with their money so casually.

But for Bao Sihan, money was merely an external thing; he didn't care about it. On the contrary, he wanted to give Gu Wenyan everything he had.

"Let's go, we'll head in first."

The host of tonight's auction had arranged a huge private box for the Gu Family, and the one given to Bao Sihan was the VIP among VIPs — absolutely the best seat in the venue.

The first floor was all agents or ordinary bidders, while the entire second floor consisted of VIP private boxes, further distinguished by the quality of the position to reflect the corresponding status of the occupant.

With Bao Sihan's standing, he didn't even need to pay a deposit to secure the best position.

After all… if even Bao Sihan could have a lot go unsold, then there was no need to mention anyone else in this world.

The host was also very clear on whose financial strength was the greatest, and who could afford to buy every single lot in the venue.

Let alone Bao Sihan only having his eye on a few items — even if he fancied every auction lot on site today, he still had the qualification and the financial power to buy them all.

So the host would absolutely never slight a distinguished guest like Bao Sihan.

Gu Wenyan went upstairs with him, and before entering the private box, she also saw a few of her brothers.

However, the Gu Family's private box they were in was still a little farther away.

The Gu Family was also one of the top families in Jingcheng, but compared with the Bo Family, they truly amounted to little — they could only be placed in the upper tier.

And Bao Sihan… was the kind of figure standing at the very tip of the pyramid, his status entirely different.

Seeing them, Gu Wenyan merely nodded and said nothing more.

Bao Sihan cast a slightly provocative glance at those few from the Gu Family, then directly took Gu Wenyan into the private box.

The facilities inside the private box were extremely luxurious. To serve these wealthy people, the host had truly exhausted every effort, all so that they would feel at home and spend more.

Gu Wenyan sat on the sofa, looked down at the auction floor below, and couldn't help but smile: "Today there should be quite a few people who want to bid against me for the same item."

"What do you want?"

"The Kashmir Blue Sapphire Necklace. I heard the starting price is several tens of millions — whether it ends up crossing a hundred million… is still possible?"

Bao Sihan narrowed his eyes: "If you leave it to me, I will definitely…"

Gu Wenyan suddenly reached out and pressed a finger to his lips, leaned closer to him, and curved her lips at him: "Didn't I already say, leave this matter to me? Okay?"

"As for what you want to give me… don't be in such a hurry, we'll talk about it later! Anyway, today I must buy this necklace myself."

"Why?"

Gu Wenyan smiled: "I made a bet with Gu Mianmian. I really want to see what she'll do today…"

Knowing Gu Wenyan had her own reasons for doing this, Bao Sihan could only sigh softly, then lean close to her and kiss her on the cheek: "Alright, I'll do as you say."

"I'm really looking forward to what other lots will appear at the venue today and fetch high prices… and also wondering… how much money Gu Mianmian can actually put up?"

"Given the Gu Family's ability, they probably wouldn't give Gu Mianmian too much cash, so if she wants to compete with you, she may not necessarily be able to produce several tens of millions in cash."

"I think so too, but don't you have any doubts about me?"

Gu Wenyan blinked: "How could I possibly produce several tens of millions in cash? They won't give Gu Mianmian that much cash, and they won't give me that much either, so everything I have doesn't come from the Gu Family."

"I've long known my Yanyan still has countless secrets she hasn't told me, but… I'm also looking forward to the day when I discover those secrets myself and fully uncover them."

Gu Wenyan curved the corners of her mouth: "You'll have to work hard then. If I don't tell you, you might never find out."

"Is that so? I'll be looking forward to it."

"Alright, looking forward to it!"

Warm feelings welled up inside Gu Wenyan. She knew that Bao Sihan didn't question her because he gave her enough respect and freedom.

Bao Sihan wouldn't let her worry too much, so that from now on she could trust him even more.

Because of Bao Sihan's own nature, he was afraid Gu Wenyan would always doubt him. For her sake, he had sacrificed too much, even altering his original temperament.

Although Gu Wenyan wouldn't say it out loud, she understood in her heart that meeting a person like this was her good fortune.

From now on, Gu Wenyan would never meet another person better than Bao Sihan — she must cherish him well…

At this moment, in the Gu Family's private box in the distance, Gu Mianmian was also telling her brother about her own expectations.

"I wonder how many sky-high prices will be fetched today? I just hope that for the Kashmir Blue necklace I have my eye on… there can be fewer competitors."

Gu Mianmian sighed: "If the price goes too high, I really can't afford it!"

"How about your big brother and I just help you bid for it directly."

"No need, big brother, second brother. I promised my sister that this time I can't rely on you. Actually, all these years, the money you've given me I've been saving up. If it's not an especially extravagant sum, I should be able to bid for it too…"

While they were talking, Gu Yeting sat off to one side, saying nothing.

Glancing at Gu Yeting, Gu Mianmian asked carefully: "Brother, do you hope I win the bid, or that my sister wins the bid for this Kashmir Blue gemstone necklace?"

"Whoever among you wins the bid, it's your own ability. I won't interfere."
