"You, you..."
It was as if a thunderclap had flashed across the sky.
Jiang Can's mind went completely blank for a moment after being struck by lightning!
The homeless man seemed to realize something, glanced at her, made a whimpering sound, shook his head violently, and ran away as if fleeing for his life, clutching a pile of garbage.
Jiang Can chased after him for a couple of steps but couldn't catch up. Her face turned pale, and she was panting heavily.
That face...
He looks exactly like Gu Mang!
Jiang Can stood frozen in place, her blood rushing to her head, her small hands icy cold and trembling.
In the end, she didn't even know how she got back to the guesthouse.
The moment she looked up and saw Gu Mang, and his hand landed on her shoulder, she instinctively took a step back and stared at him blankly.
"What happened?" Gu Mang asked in a soft, low voice.
Jiang Can snapped out of her daze and took a deep breath.
The face before me was sharply defined, clean and refreshing, with a strong masculine air about it.
How can that homeless man compare to someone like Gu Mang?
Jiang Can smacked her head hard with her small hand. She must have lost her mind. She must have just imagined it!
"What exactly happened?" Gu Mang asked patiently again, his voice even gentler than before.
Jiang Can smiled slightly and intertwined her fingers with his.
Her fingertips were chillingly cold, and Gu Mang couldn't help but worry.
"Where did you go so early in the morning? This place is surrounded by mountains and the sea, so it's always windy. The climate in the city is cold in the morning and evening and hot at noon. You went out in such thin clothes and got a cold. Did you catch a cold?"
He placed his large hand on her forehead, but Jiang Can pulled it away in a coquettish manner.
"I'm fine, don't worry!"
Gu Mang looked at her quietly, his gaze slightly deep.
Jiang Can thought about the blunder she had just made and found it funny. She smiled slightly and burst out laughing.
But this smile made the whole world seem more colorful in Gu Mang's eyes.
“Wife,” he said, his voice low, husky and seductive, as he held her shoulders, “we agreed to go on our honeymoon, but you left me alone in the room last night.”
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" she asked, looking at him like a little fox.
"I wouldn't dare." He narrowed his eyes, his large hand roaming freely over her back. "But now... shouldn't we do some things that are appropriate for a honeymoon?"
"Stop fooling around!" Jiang Can playfully punched him, "In broad daylight, you..."
"I never distinguish between day and night when I do things."
"No way." Jiang Can pushed him away. "We already had plans for today. We were supposed to go to the water park!"
Gu Mang was taken aback, only to see that the little woman had indeed taken out several tickets, all of which had been purchased in advance through group buying.
His face darkened, and his unsatisfied expression was terrifying.
“Honey…” Jiang Can hooked her little hand around his neck, “I know you were unhappy last night, but Yuqing and I haven’t chatted all night like we did in college for a long time. Can’t you be a little more understanding?”
"Tonight, perhaps." She whispered in his ear, her large eyes sparkling like stars. "Tonight... I promise I won't treat you badly!"
After she finished speaking, her face turned as red as blood, and she lowered her head and nestled against his chest.
Gu Mang felt as if a piece of his heart had been stuffed inside, sweet and soft, almost melting away.
"Are you hungry?" He patted her. "Let's go to the restaurant for breakfast."
"Won't it be Jin Yu Ge again today?"
"Hmm... I just called the front desk and they said the dining standards we've been enjoying these past few days have been the best!"
"Really?" Jiang Can exclaimed excitedly, "They're having an anniversary sale, but we're the lucky ones!"
"Yes." Gu Mang smiled faintly.
He was content as long as he saw her happy.
"Honey, I've noticed that my luck has skyrocketed since I married you. Everything has gone more smoothly than I ever imagined!" She stood on tiptoe, cupped his face, and gave him a hard peck on the lips.
"Honey, you're such a lucky star!"
Gu Mang was slightly taken aback, then gently stroked her nose and chuckled.
"You go eat first," he said in a low voice. "I'm going to the restroom, I'll catch up with you soon."
"Oh." Jiang Can didn't think much of it. "Then I'll go find Sister Yuqing and Dr. Shen first. Hurry up and come meet us!"
"good."
Jiang Can skipped out of the room, and a dark glint flashed in Gu Mang's eyes.
He picked up the landline on the table, dialed a few numbers, and asked in a low voice, "What happened to her this morning?"
"Third Master, Miss Jiang was playing on the beach the whole time. We watched from a distance and didn't dare to follow her. But later she turned back and walked to the trash can on the side of that street..." the subordinate stammered.
Gu Mang growled angrily, "Speak!"
There, she met a homeless man.
A homeless man? Gu Mang's heart tightened. Had she been taken advantage of?
"Third Master, the homeless man didn't do anything to Miss Jiang, but after he walked away, Miss Jiang kept staring in his direction and stood there for more than ten minutes without moving."
Perhaps he was frightened; that was the first thought that flashed through Gu Mang's mind.
But he remembered when he first married Jiang Can, a few thugs blocked the door and harassed her, and she fought them with a stick.
And then there was that time after she attended a dinner party, she misunderstood that Bai Jingyuan had improper thoughts about her, so she strangled the driver and jumped out of the car, almost losing half her life.
How could such a brave and strong-willed woman be frightened by a homeless man?
There must be another reason behind this!
Gu Mang narrowed his eyes, his thin lips pressed together and then slowly relaxed. He said in a low voice, "Coordinate with the police to retrieve the surveillance footage from that area and find out who that homeless man is!"
...
The week-long trip came to a quick end.
The group had a wonderful time and didn't want to leave, but once they returned to Jiangzhou, they had to go back to their normal, orderly lives.
It took Jiang Can two full days to adjust before she was able to successfully complete the backlog of work at hand.
"It seems that people really can't stop..." she sighed as she flipped through the reports. "Once you stop, all you can think about is eating, drinking, and having fun, and you lose all motivation to work!"
"How about I find you something more interesting to do?"
A clear voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Jiang Can looked up and saw An An smiling as she brought Shen Xiao in.
"I've heard Gu Mang say you're a very busy person," Shen Xiao said with a smile. "Seeing you today, I'm surprised to find that you're completely different from usual!"
"Really?" Jiang Can smiled, her eyes crinkling. "So what am I usually like, and what am I like today?"
"Normally you're all timid and dependent on Gu Mang when you're together, but today you're like a successful female CEO!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Can burst into laughter.
She invited Shen Xiao to sit down and personally made him coffee.
“Jiang Can,” Shen Xiao looked at her, “maybe you really will become a female CEO someday! You have that kind of aura!”
"Okay, you're making me blush. What female CEO? I'd be grateful if I could just get this job for the rest of my life!"
"Oh, I almost forgot about the important thing." Shen Xiao took out a stack of photos. "I'm here to give you these today!"
Jiang Can paused for a moment, took the photo and looked at it carefully, her eyes welling up with tears.
