Chapter 42: The Wedding Is About to Be Held

Bao Sihan's eyes always possessed such a powerful impact; a single glance seemed capable of stirring up countless waves of emotion in one's heart.

Gu Wenyan swallowed nervously for no reason, then walked toward Bao Sihan. As she drew near, he took the opportunity to wrap his arm around her waist and pull her into his embrace.

Bao Sihan lowered his eyes to look at her, a layer of softness rippling through his sharp features: "Did you sleep well last night?"

The man's gentle tone could practically melt ice.

Gu Wenyan's ears tingled. She said softly, "It was quite good, and you?"

"Thinking about seeing you today, I slept very well."

Gu Wenyan's cheeks flushed slightly: "What is that supposed to mean? You're just teasing me to make me happy."

"No," Bao Sihan said earnestly, "thinking about seeing you today, even my dreams last night were filled with enough anticipation."

Gu Wenyan reached out and pushed him lightly, half-annoyed and half-smiling: "Let's get going, or we'll get stuck in traffic and won't make it in time."

Gu Yefeng's Art Museum was located in a relatively remote area. As an artist like him, he didn't care at all how many people came to visit his Art Museum; he only cared about whether he could satisfy his various expectations for art.

Before getting into the car, Gu Wenyan turned her head to say goodbye to her parents first, then looked at Gu Yechen: "Big Brother, I'm heading out with Si Han now, see you at the Art Gallery Opening Ceremony later."

There wasn't much emotion on Gu Yechen's indifferent face, but compared to his past attitude, the change was truly obvious. He nodded: "Drive safely."

Bao Sihan's expression darkened.

The man's facial features appeared increasingly sharp, and the dark glint in his eyes was released in silence.

After sweeping a glance at Gu Yechen, Bao Sihan calmly withdrew his gaze and took Gu Wenyan into the car.

As the car started and drove onto the road, Bao Sihan played with her fingers, pinching them in his palm, and asked nonchalantly: "How have things been at the Gu Family lately? Have you been bullied?"

"It's alright, just some arguing with Gu Yeting, but he can't even win an argument against me anymore; every time, I leave him speechless."

"Is that so? It seems you have already found your way of surviving in the Gu Family."

"You could say that. In the past, I was always too lazy to bicker with them over these things, which is why I was bullied... but now, I don't dwell on these issues too much anymore."

Bao Sihan said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I wasn't able to protect you well before."

"It has nothing to do with you, it was entirely my own fault before... Oh, these things are all in the past now, let's not talk about them anymore."

Bao Sihan smiled silently, yet he still shifted the topic back to what he wanted to discuss: "However, your relationship with Gu Yechen seems to have improved a bit, it's not as tense as it was before?"

"Hmm, actually, Big Brother has always been more mature than them. Although he disliked me before, that was when he didn't understand me at all... Now that he has discovered I am different from what he perceived, he naturally has a different attitude toward me."

"And you, what do you think?"

"I just feel that if my relationship with Big Brother can be a little better, at least in the Gu Family, I can feel some familial affection."

Gu Wenyan looked toward Bao Sihan; the man's expression was bottomless, and she could never tell what he was truly thinking from his face.

Unless he wanted her to see it, he would always remain so inscrutable and impossible to fathom.

"We can speed things up between us; the wedding will be held within a month, what do you think?"

Bao Sihan said abruptly.

"Ah..." Bao Sihan hadn't mentioned the wedding, and Gu Wenyan had almost forgotten about it.

Although they were married, she had been living at the Gu Family home before the wedding ceremony, so she didn't have a very clear sense that she and he were already married.

Now that Bao Sihan brought it up, Gu Wenyan finally had a more definite realization.

"You decide." After some thought, Gu Wenyan ultimately left it all to Bao Sihan.

Hearing her words, the curve of the man's lips beside her became much more pronounced.

Clearly, understanding Gu Wenyan's attitude was, for him, an experience sufficient to put him in a good mood.

Bao Sihan thought that since Gu Wenyan had agreed, it meant they could choose a date to announce to the public that their wedding would be held again...

Arriving at the Art Museum, Gu Wenyan got out of the car and saw the highly designed building in front of her, unable to help but exclaim: "My second brother really is a man who is mad for art."

As long as he could fulfill his vision, he wouldn't hesitate to spend countless funds. It was fortunate that he was a member of the Gu Family himself and had enough confidence to make these attempts; otherwise, even if an ordinary person had such artistic concepts, they wouldn't have the financial resources to support such endeavors.

Fortunately, Gu Yefeng was already very famous in the industry now; his Art Museums were distributed all over the country, and the guests visiting them were endless.

The exhibits sold through his Art Museum repeatedly set high prices, and this time, his opening masterpiece, the Splash-Ink Landscape Painting by Bai Lao, could definitely be considered a work with enough substance.

Media had caught wind of it early on, and many members of the public who wanted to see the true appearance of Bai Lao's authentic work had already booked tickets in advance to visit the exhibition today.

But before the public visit, there was an opening ceremony, attended mainly by industry insiders, major media, and socialites.

Gu Wenyan held Bao Sihan's arm, slowly stepped onto the stairs, and walked into the Art Museum.

At this time, many guests had already arrived, and they were almost all wearing various types of formal attire, showing the importance they placed on this Art Gallery Opening Ceremony.

However, when Gu Wenyan appeared, everyone's gaze fell upon her, and they suddenly understood what it meant to be poised and effortless.

She wore a light green long dress with a unique cheongsam cut design, which outlined a figure as delicate as a willow, yet she possessed the temperament of a secluded orchid.

Her brows and eyes were clean and spirited; her mere appearance was enough to attract everyone's attention.

Gu Mianmian, who had arrived earlier, was dissatisfied that Gu Wenyan had taken everyone's attention, and the jealousy in her heart began to ferment again.

Especially with Bao Sihan's presence by Gu Wenyan's side; the two of them walking together made them absolute heavy-hitting guests.

At today's opening ceremony, no one could steal their spotlight.

Fortunately, as the owner of the Art Museum, Gu Yefeng's appearance was truly the focus of everyone's attention.

"Welcome everyone here. I am very happy that you can witness today's opening ceremony with me. At the opening ceremony, I am also very happy to have you all view the Splash-Ink Landscape Painting created by Mr. Bai Lao together with me."

After Gu Yefeng finished speaking, he did not immediately proceed to the ribbon-cutting, but instead accepted a brief media interview.

These media outlets, not knowing if they had lost their minds or what, actually didn't ask about the Art Museum exhibition, but instead shifted the focus onto Gu Wenyan.

"Mr. Gu Yefeng, I remember you saying before that you only have one younger sister, so why is this other young lady from the Gu Family also appearing at today's Art Gallery Opening Ceremony?"
