Chapter 79: He Compromised

~7 min read 1,315 words

Gu Wenyan once again felt the pressure brought about by Bao Sihan's terrifying possessiveness.

Before, perhaps she had thought about it too easily; in fact, because of these possessive tendencies of Bao Sihan, it was destined that some unavoidable conflicts would arise between her and him.

Everything would not be resolved that quickly for the time being.

Gu Wenyan had been too immersed in the gentleness Bao Sihan showed when facing her, ignoring his true nature and the conflicts between them that had not yet been exposed.

It was not until this livestream that Gu Wenyan finally had to face these problems squarely.

"Si Han, I am simply sharing with everyone, I have no other meaning; you are willing to trust me, right?"

She tried to reason with Bao Sihan, using a more rational and calm way to persuade him and change his decision on this matter.

Gu Wenyan thought that, given the extent to which Bao Sihan doted on her, he should be willing to discuss it with her, right?

Although it did not look that easy.

However... there would be at least a tiny chance.

After she finished speaking, the man on the other end of the phone did not speak for a long time; the prolonged silence was enough to be suffocating.

If it were anyone else, they would probably be on the verge of a breakdown by now.

But Gu Wenyan remained calm: "Perhaps, could we meet and talk?"

"... Okay."

Not long after, Bao Sihan's car pulled up outside the Gu Family home.

The car window rolled down, revealing the man's cold and sharp profile; Gu Wenyan's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt that completely persuading him today would not be such an easy task.

His decisions were things he never changed easily.

"Are you busy with work today?" After getting into the car, Gu Wenyan did not rush to negotiate, but instead brought up other topics to show concern.

"It's alright." Bao Sihan's deep black eyes were like ink, containing countless emotions.

Gu Wenyan swallowed back all the words that were already on the tip of her tongue and simply said bluntly: "I have thought about it, I still hope to be able to livestream; it is not because I want to reject you, but because I feel this is a hobby of mine."

"Although there isn't much income and it might not count for much to you, it is quite interesting to me... This is also a way for me to enjoy myself, so I hope you can accept me and support me in continuing to participate in livestreams."

Bao Sihan was silent.

"Is that okay? I promise to livestream at most twice a week, and each time will not be very long... I will also report to you in advance so you know." Gu Wenyan said in a soft voice, "That way you can watch my livestream and won't miss it."

"But you should know." Bao Sihan finally deigned to speak, his cold tone chilling to the heart, "These people watching your livestream aren't all doing it to learn how to grow flowers from you, but for other reasons."

The moment Bao Sihan thought of the language that had appeared in the comments of Gu Wenyan's livestream previously, he felt angry.

He would never let these people have the qualifications to be disrespectful to Gu Wenyan.

He had already arranged for his secretary to investigate everyone who had appeared in the livestream room; anyone who had said bad things would not escape and would be taught a lesson.

He had been extremely gentle and doting toward Gu Wenyan before, even to the point of indulgence, because his bottom line had not been touched.

But once he encountered something that touched his bottom line, Bao Sihan would no longer compromise easily.

Just like with this matter, Gu Wenyan had almost no room to discuss it further.

Gu Wenyan saw that he had no intention of talking to her properly, and her mood became inexplicably unhappy: "Why won't you listen to my explanation at all? I have already said that I won't be livestreaming for very long... And if it's livestreaming today, will you want to stop me and reject me if I do other things tomorrow?"

"Si Han, you cannot be like this; we are two independent individuals, I hope you can understand..."

Bao Sihan grabbed her hand tightly in his palm, controlling his strength so as not to hurt her, but the man's brows were already deeply furrowed, and his thin lips were pressed into a straight line.

The emotions on his face were particularly frightening.

Fortunately, the driver had already moved away after he got into the car; otherwise, if they had seen his expression at this moment, they would likely have been scared out of their wits.

They would not dare to look directly into Bao Sihan's eyes when he was angry; it would give people the illusion that their time was running out, or even make them feel like they wouldn't see tomorrow's sun.

Gu Wenyan did not have zero fear of him, but because of the things that happened in her past life, she knew he was willing to sacrifice his life for her...

So Gu Wenyan's fear of him was much less.

"I can let you do anything else, but this matter is not up for discussion; I do not want you to continue livestreaming."

Bao Sihan remained firm.

Gu Wenyan sighed: "If I still want to continue livestreaming, what can you do?"

"You should understand that I have countless ways to stop you."

"... If you want to do that, fine, then go ahead and do it, but from now on I will no longer try to trust you and rely on you like before; I will think that you are just someone who will hurt me at any time!"

Gu Wenyan turned her head to the side, her expression filled with a sense of grievance and pain.

It was as if she had been dealt a huge blow because of his attitude.

Bao Sihan's heart tightened inexplicably, aching as if it were being gripped by an invisible giant hand, leaving him no room to even breathe.

His voice also inexplicably became hoarse: "Wen Yan, you know I didn't mean that; I just don't want those people..."

"But you also have ways to make them disappear! Why do you have to stop me? You clearly could have had different choices, yet you only want to order me around!"

Gu Wenyan chose to vent her emotions: "This is also why I didn't want to marry you before; everyone said you were autocratic, overbearing, and strong-willed! There is no room for change in the decisions you make, and you don't care at all about what others think..."

"But I am already your wife, we are married; shouldn't everything be something the two of us discuss together, rather than one person making the decision?"

She said aggrievedly: "I promised I could compromise and reduce the number of livestreams; once a week is fine, right? If you are still unwilling, then I have nothing left to say..."

She reached out to open the car door to get out, seemingly no longer wanting to talk to him.

Having just tasted the feeling of being trusted by Gu Wenyan, to have to accept her moving away from him and looking at him with enough disgust...

Enduring the feeling of having had something and then losing it was the most painful feeling in this world.

Bao Sihan pulled Gu Wenyan back with force, staring into her eyes, word for word: "Fine, once a week for the livestream, I promise you."

Gu Wenyan's heart rate suddenly accelerated; Bao Sihan had actually compromised?

She had done this on purpose just now, but she hadn't expected that he would really compromise!
