"The sales department is one of the most important departments in the company." Cheng Xiaoxiao deliberately made sarcastic remarks at the company's routine meeting. "If some people really don't have the talent for sales, then it's best not to occupy this position and leave the opportunity to more capable people!"

"Our company isn't a retirement home, everyone should know that. People who haven't received a single order and are only getting a basic salary really need to think carefully about their future prospects!"

Jiang Can kept her head down the whole afternoon, and the knot between her brows remained untied.

However, after a long day, when she returned home, she found Gu Mang still sitting on the sofa looking at his phone, acting like a big shot. The kitchen was empty, and there wasn't even a cup of hot water.

Jiang Can finally couldn't hold back her grievances anymore at that moment.

"You...you didn't cook?"

Gu Mang was taken aback and looked away from his phone.

The young woman in front of me had slightly flushed cheeks, her breathing was a little rapid, and her chest was rising and falling.

A pair of bright, large eyes stared straight at him. But the tone of her questioning didn't sound like a question at all; it sounded more like a wronged wife whining to her husband.

Gu Mang's heart stirred, and his gaze toward her unconsciously took on a deeper meaning.

"What's wrong?" He stood up from the sofa, looking completely innocent. "Haven't you been the one doing all the cooking since we got married?"

Jiang Can paused, then bit her lip.

Gu Mang's figure was very imposing; he was much taller than her, and her aura immediately weakened.

In addition, she has a gentle and tolerant personality, and she doesn't really blame Gu Mang.

only……

"Yes, that's right." She lowered her eyelids and said softly, "I've always been the one doing the cooking, but now that I'm working, can't you... can't you share some of the housework? After all, this isn't just my house!"

"I'm back late today. Even if you can't cook, can't you at least prepare the ingredients? Do you expect me to do everything for you?"

Gu Mang narrowed his eyes slightly.

This was the first time he had ever seen Jiang Can lose her temper with him since they got married.

It wasn't really that, just a couple of complaints. The way the little woman seemed to want to get angry but didn't dare was as adorable as a ripe peach, and he suddenly felt a strong urge to tease her.

"Oh," he nodded, "So you're upset that I don't go out to work and am a burden to you?"

"I..." Jiang Can was taken aback, and hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant!"

He leaned closer to examine her, a slight smile playing on his lips, a hint of ambiguity flashing in his deep eyes that even he himself didn't realize.

"So what do you mean?"

“Gu Mang,” she took a deep breath and looked at him earnestly, “Ever since we got married, I’ve been determined to spend my life with you. You’re my husband, how could I possibly look down on you?”

"Even if you never go out to work, I can still support you."

Her voice trailed off as she spoke, and then she began to worry in her heart whether her words might hurt his pride.

Men, especially men with a bit of a "criminal record," are very concerned about saving face. They must be very sensitive about others bringing it up.

"What did you say?" Gu Mang suppressed a smile, trying not to let her see that he wanted to laugh. "You, take care of me?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Gu Mang met her eyes; those beautiful, large eyes were clean and clear like crystal, making his heart tremble involuntarily.

“Although traditionally, men are responsible for external affairs and women for internal affairs,” Jiang Can said eloquently, “we are no longer in a feudal society. Women can also go out to work. Does it matter who supports the family? It’s just that the two of them should contribute together. When husband and wife are of one mind, their strength can break gold!”

Gu Mang paused for a moment, then chuckled softly.

Jiang Can may appear gentle, but she is actually more opinionated than anyone else.

However, this was the first time he had ever heard of a woman supporting a man.

Since she said so, he would do as she pleased.

Gu Mang's smile widened, which Jiang Can found somewhat strange.

"Are you... are you alright?" Jiang Can stared at him intently.

"It's nothing." Gu Mang regained his usual aloofness, coughing twice expressionlessly. "Since there's no food at home, let's eat out!"

Jiang Can stared at him with wide eyes.

Does this man have X-ray vision and know I got paid today?
