Chapter 143: For Him
Although Bao Mu had received a benefit from Gu Wenyan, and had even been flattered by many because of her, at this moment… she still hadn't completely changed her opinion of Gu Wenyan.
At the very least, her disgust toward Gu Wenyan still existed; she was still dissatisfied.
What Gu Wenyan had done now was still not enough to change Bao Mu's perception of her.
Moreover, Bao Sihan's mother still did not want her to marry into the Bo Family as her daughter-in-law. Although this was now a done deal, an unchangeable fact, as long as Bao Mu didn't nod in approval…
In the future, in this household, she believed, she would sooner or later make Gu Wenyan back off in the face of difficulty.
Of course, speaking fairly, since Gu Wenyan had already done so much today, Bao Mu wouldn't completely refuse to give her face, so she was still relatively polite: "Thank you for the tea."
"Auntie, it's only right. Once I marry Si Han, you'll be my elder… whatever you like, I'll do my best to find it for you."
The wealthy wives around them couldn't help but speak envious words: "Oh, if only my daughter-in-law could be as considerate and understanding as Miss Gu, our household wouldn't be in such an uproar every day!"
"What a pity I don't have a son, so I can't experience this kind of filial devotion from a daughter-in-law… Madam Bo, you must cherish her well!"
"Exactly, a daughter-in-law as well-behaved and considerate as Miss Gu really is rare."
Although the wealthy wives around her were all saying words of envy toward Bao Mu, her mood hadn't improved much because of it.
Her attitude toward Gu Wenyan had only changed just a tiny bit.
And Gu Wenyan had no intention of staying here any longer. Wisely, she chose to leave at this moment, leaving the remaining time for them.
It didn't matter what bad things Bao Mu would say about her in front of these wealthy wives next.
Let her say whatever she wants.
The colder and more disdainful Bao Mu's attitude toward her was now, the greater the difference would be when the change came later…
After Gu Wenyan left, she went straight back to the Gu Family. It was the weekend anyway and there was nothing to do; the company's matters didn't need her management for now.
Besides, Gu Wenyan was currently just an ordinary employee in the Marketing Department, so she didn't need to work overtime on the weekend.
Bao Sihan learned from the butler today that Gu Wenyan had given his mother an extremely expensive and rare King of Tea.
This was naturally a token of Gu Wenyan's regard; if she hadn't wanted to win Bao Mu's favor, she wouldn't have done this.
And there was only one reason Gu Wenyan was trying to please her like this.
For him.
In the past, many people had mentioned Gu Wenyan's relationship with him in front of Bao Sihan, all believing that Gu Wenyan had been forced by him, and even his mother thought so.
In the eyes of these people, Gu Wenyan's feelings for him were very shallow.
Gu Wenyan had never cared about him, and was completely indifferent to his genuine feelings and deep love for her.
Back then, Gu Wenyan was so selfish. She simply enjoyed Bao Sihan's goodness toward her.
At least, everyone had thought so back then. The Gu Wenyan in everyone's eyes was not worth Bao Sihan's sincere devotion.
But all of this changed after that wedding. Although Bao Sihan had been pleasantly surprised, even feeling it was unexpected, not knowing when such a change had appeared…
He was very certain that Gu Wenyan's attitude toward him afterward had truly changed.
Gu Wenyan no longer treated him as a money tree, nor did she simply take it all for granted. Gu Wenyan loved him with the same attitude.
However much Bao Sihan doted on her, she treated him the same way.
Even now, in this way Bao Sihan could hardly imagine…
Gu Wenyan still repaid him with genuine feelings.
Bao Sihan was very surprised, yet also treasured this difference immensely. He hoped…
If this were a dream, then this dream could last a little longer. He never wanted to wake up, and would never return to that past state.
His efforts wouldn't be wasted, and his love for her wouldn't be recklessly discarded…
Gu Wenyan didn't see Gu Mianmian at home today, and even Wang Ma wasn't there. She didn't know where they had gone.
Once she sensed something was off, they were most likely plotting something vicious.
Of course, they were welcome to keep opposing her like this. After all, the outcome was still undecided… Gu Wenyan had never been afraid.
Bao Sihan came directly to the Gu Family. Hearing the servants' report, Gu Wenyan was very surprised and practically rushed out without stopping.
Seeing the tall figure of the man outside the door, the corners of Gu Wenyan's mouth unconsciously curved into a smile. She ran toward him and threw herself into his arms: "Why did you suddenly come?"
"I missed you, so I came. Not welcome?"
"Of course you're welcome! But there's no one at home today…"
"Isn't that perfect? Give me a tour."
Although it wasn't his first time at the Gu Family, every previous visit had had a third wheel. Bao Sihan was also annoyed by people constantly hovering around them.
Today, the few annoying young masters of the Gu Family weren't around, and no one was competing with him for Gu Wenyan's attention.
Bao Sihan wished they would never come back…
"Alright." The smile at the corner of Gu Wenyan's mouth was genuine. She held his hand and led Bao Sihan on a walk around the Gu Family.
Including the flowers newly cultivated in the back garden.
"In another two months they'll bloom too. Although the previous ones are gone, you could say it was a blessing in disguise. The new ones growing up all have very good quality."
Bao Sihan nodded: "Now everyone outside is talking about the fresh flowers you've grown, wondering what surprise you'll bring everyone next time."
"I don't care at all. Whether there's a surprise or not is actually not important. I never thought about wanting them to pay attention… But once these bloom, I'll give them to you first thing!"
Bao Sihan wrapped his arm around her waist and placed a light kiss at her lips: "Alright."
Gu Wenyan brought Bao Sihan to her room. Since changing rooms, this current bedroom was much larger.
And more spacious and bright. Although in Bao Sihan's eyes it still didn't meet his standards, for now it was barely passable.
"There's still one more week."
Bao Sihan looked at Gu Wenyan's back, his gaze growing deep: "The wedding will be held in one week."
Gu Wenyan would completely become his.
After waiting so long, Bao Sihan felt his willpower had been tested as never before.
This time, he could finally have his wish fulfilled. And Bao Sihan didn't know…
Gu Wenyan had been looking forward to this day too — for two whole lifetimes, finally.
She and he could become a true married couple.
Gu Wenyan turned around and looked at him: "I'm looking forward to it too."
Bao Sihan stepped forward, caught her wrist, pinned her against the wall, and kissed her lips without a word of explanation.
