Chapter 91: The Other Half's Right
Bao Sihan still held the same attitude as before: "No matter what the reason is, as long as it's a good thing for you, that's all that matters."
"How come it feels like... you're not very interested?"
"How could I not be interested?" Bao Sihan chuckled lightly. "How about this—wait until you come back, tell me in person. Deal?"
"Mm, alright." Gu Wenyan gave a charming little smile. "Once I'm back, I'll tell you."
After being with Bao Sihan for a while, it seemed a different temperament began to radiate from deep within her bones.
Gu Wenyan knew she wasn't like this before, but after being with Bao Sihan... because she knew that no matter what happened, there would always be someone paying attention to and supporting her at any time, she could freely enjoy being pampered and indulged with care.
She suddenly understood why people grow arrogant from favor.
Probably because they know that no matter what happens, there will always be such a person behind them.
After hanging up the call with Bao Sihan, Gu Wenyan had no great interest in continuing to follow the topics still being discussed online.
She had never liked wasting time in these empty online worlds. If it weren't for the possibility that these disturbances might affect the people around her, she might have let them discuss whatever they wanted—after all, the final outcome had little to do with her.
Yet Gu Wenyan didn't care, but many people wouldn't leave her in peace.
Quite a few media reporters tried every means to contact the Gu Family members, especially the few young masters of the Gu Family, who were pestered the most.
Some rushed to the Gu Group building, some went to Gu Yeting's Leiting Charity Foundation, and others staked out at Gu Yefeng's Art Museum, trying to catch Gu Yefeng and gossip about how Gu Wenyan could casually produce a painting worth over a hundred million.
Paintings that were even beyond monetary estimation.
Could it be that the Gu Family's Eldest Miss had some hidden identity?
It could be said the entire nation was watching this curious incident, wanting to know—if it weren't for everything Bao Sihan had given her...
Then how could the legendary Gu Family Eldest Miss—said to be uneducated, barely having attended school for a few days, even vulgar and coarse—be so remarkable?
But no matter how these reporters asked, they could never get an answer.
Because the few young masters of the Gu Family didn't know either; they didn't know much more than these media reporters.
It was only after Bao Sihan accepted an interview that they confirmed the oil paintings Gu Wenyan had obtained had nothing to do with him.
Gu Yechen had just finished attending a meeting outside and returned to the company. His car entered the building through the underground garage, but the moment he got out, he was blocked by media who had been staking out there.
Microphones and cameras everywhere, all asking questions about Gu Wenyan.
"May I ask if Miss Gu has some hidden identity that hasn't been revealed?"
"President Gu, do you know the source of the paintings in her possession?"
"The Kashmir Lover—the author's family doesn't even know where the painting went, yet it's in Miss Gu's hands. Could it be that she has some special channels or means to obtain these paintings?"
"May I ask where the Gu Family's Eldest Miss lived before returning to the Gu Family? We wonder if we'd have the chance to visit the place where she lived for an interview..."
Gu Yechen's icy, piercing gaze swept across the reporters: "If you dare to disturb anyone related to her, I don't care which media outlet you are—you'll never work in this industry again."
After the unceremonious warning, the few reporters exchanged uneasy glances.
In that very moment, they even felt wave after wave of chill creeping up their backs, exceptionally cold.
Gu Yefeng and Gu Yeting didn't fare much better. After each dealing with these people, they returned to Jingcheng and gathered at the Gu Family home.
Sitting in the living room, their expressions were all filled with confusion.
"So do any of you know the reason?" Gu Yeting crossed his leg, his posture casual, equally curious.
Gu Yechen shook his head: "She hasn't discussed this issue with me before."
Gu Yeting tilted his head: "You should at least know—she's given you several paintings, each one extremely valuable."
Gu Yefeng's calm face was equally full of puzzlement: "I've never asked her where all her paintings come from."
"... You really don't care at all."
Gu Yefeng said lightly: "This is my sister's business. If she's willing to tell me, I'll listen. If she doesn't want to, she doesn't have to say it."
As for why Gu Wenyan actually had such ability, everyone could have their own secrets—not all secrets had to be revealed.
So after some discussion, the three young masters of the Gu Family also settled on their view.
From now on, they'd block related topics, no longer allowing anyone to bring them up. Unless Gu Wenyan herself was willing, this would be the secret they would all help her keep.
Gu Wenyan, however, didn't know what the three young masters of the Gu Family were discussing. At this moment, she was at Bo Group.
In Bao Sihan's office.
The man was working with his head lowered. Gu Wenyan hugged a cushion and nestled on the sofa, quietly admiring the way he looked when working.
Bao Sihan's seriousness, his focus, his cool composure and nobility—all drew her gaze.
Why hadn't she been able to discover before what immense charm he possessed?
But in the past, just hearing his reputation had terrified her. She had only felt that such an obsessive and dangerous man should be kept as far away as possible—once you got close, the consequences could be utterly tragic.
"Yanyan, if you keep looking at me like this, I can't guarantee I'll be able to finish today's work."
Bao Sihan spoke out of nowhere. Gu Wenyan's body trembled involuntarily, and she said shyly, "I wasn't looking at you. If you weren't looking at me, how would you know I was looking at you?"
The corners of Bao Sihan's mouth curved up slightly, his voice carrying a low, bewitching quality: "Baby, your gaze is so fiery—I couldn't ignore it even if I wanted to."
Flustered and blushing at his teasing, Gu Wenyan hid her face behind the cushion: "Stop talking. Hurry up and finish your work, let's go to dinner. I booked a really delicious restaurant."
"Alright." Bao Sihan hadn't expected that the first thing Gu Wenyan did after returning to Jingcheng was come find him. This pleased and delighted him immensely.
So his first instinct was to accompany Gu Wenyan to dinner and a date.
However, Gu Wenyan strictly forbade him from doing so, demanding that he had to finish today's work before he could go out with her—otherwise she would just go straight back to the Gu Family home.
Bao Sihan handled the documents in his hands faster than usual. After finishing reviewing them, he immediately stood up and strode to her.
The man placed his hands on either side of her body, looking down at her from above.
"... What are you doing?" Gu Wenyan's face turned red.
"Kiss you."
After Gu Wenyan had been away for two days, Bao Sihan's longing for her had become impossible to control.
The beast in his heart had also begun to roar wildly. He could hold himself back from doing anything else to Gu Wenyan, but kissing her...
Should be his right as her other half.
