Jiang Can needed to rest to recover from her injuries, so Gu Mang took her home to take care of her.
At first, Jiang Can was very worried. Gu Mang was not good at housework and even cooking was a problem. With her injured, the house would definitely be in chaos.
However, the moment Gu Mang carried her inside, her eyes suddenly lit up.
The house was clean and tidy, everything was in good order, just like before she was injured.
"It's alright, isn't it?" Gu Mang chuckled softly.
The way he looked at her was like that of a little boy waiting for his teacher's praise.
Jiang Can smiled.
She always felt that her husband was unfathomable, but that was only because she saw him browsing financial news in multiple languages.
Surprisingly, he's quite the expert when it comes to staying at home!
A short while later, Gu Mang brought out two dishes.
Jiang Can tasted it and said it was alright, but there was a bit too much salt.
However, she was already very surprised and delighted that it had turned out this way.
"I knew it! My husband is the most capable and amazing!" She looked up at him, her face full of coquettish charm. "Looks like getting injured is a good thing. I can be a hands-off boss and do nothing but wait to be waited on!"
"Alright." Gu Mang smiled faintly, his gaze meaningful, and his voice slightly hoarse. "Then I'll serve you well tonight, how about it?"
Jiang Can's face instantly turned bright red, and her heart pounded restlessly.
Gu Mang smiled at her and ate his food in big mouthfuls.
Jiang Can could manage everything else, but taking a bath became her problem.
Gu Mang offered to help her, but she refused outright.
The man chuckled lightly, "We're husband and wife now, why are you still bothered by this? Your legs aren't very mobile right now, it's only right that I help you take a bath."
Jiang Can lowered her eyes, remained silent, and gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with her two small hands.
Seeing that she was really nervous, Gu Mang didn't force her.
But the way she lowered her eyelids and gently bit her cherry lips, her naivety, shyness, and panic about matters between men and women, her shy whispers in front of him, her seemingly coy and inviting demeanor... made him lose his mind and unable to control himself.
Gu Mang narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Okay, go ahead." He handed her a clean towel. "I'll be right at the door. Call me if you need anything."
Jiang Can nodded and quickly went into the bathroom.
Gu Mang had been inside for half a day, but he was still worried and kept pacing around the door.
"Are you done yet?" He knocked on the door, and the sound of running water inside stopped for a moment.
"Or I can go in and help you..."
"No need!" Jiang Can hurriedly shouted, "I can do it myself!"
Gu Mang was taken aback, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
The sound of the flowing water made his heart itch.
The thought of Jiang Can with her leg in a cast, struggling alone in that slippery bathtub, and having to be careful of the tiled floor...
He frowned.
Let's just push the door open and go in!
It wasn't to take advantage of her, but to prevent her from falling.
Thinking this, Gu Mang suddenly pushed the door open, but when he looked up, he saw Jiang Can about to climb out of the bathtub...
Her skin was delicate and translucent; the beauty had just emerged from her bath, completely naked...
Gu Mang's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his mouth was dry, and he instantly felt all the blood rush to his head!
Jiang Can was also taken aback.
Because of her leg injury, she couldn't get it wet, so her leg had been sticking out of the bathtub. Now, she was trying to climb out of the tub with her legs wide apart—a rather... awkward position.
"Ah!" she screamed, her face flushed with embarrassment and nervousness. She slipped and fell flat on her face onto the tiled floor.
However, instead of landing, she fell solidly into that warm embrace.
Gu Mang grabbed a bath towel, intending to cover her with it, but his hand froze in mid-air.
The sight of spring sunshine before him was truly captivating...
What should have happened on our wedding night has been delayed for almost half a year now! I didn't want her back then because we were practically strangers living under the same roof, so of course it would take some time to get used to each other.
Now...
"You, you stop looking!" Jiang Can turned her face away shyly, her small hands frantically trying to cover her private parts.
"Hmm, I'm not watching anymore." Gu Mang chuckled, his low, husky voice tinged with intense desire, and he bent down to pick her up.
"What's the point of just looking?" He breathed warmly into her ear. "There are some things... that need to be done!"
Jiang Can's mind went completely blank.
By the time she realized what was happening, Gu Mang had already carefully placed her on the bed in the bedroom. The man leaned over her, his deep eyes seeming to ignite with two flames.
Jiang Can's breathing quickened as she felt his soft, delicate kisses falling upon her, tender and precious to her.
"Tonight..."
He wasn't asking for her opinion; instead, with a man's unique masculinity and domineering presence, he whispered three words in her ear: "I want you!"
Jiang Can shifted uncomfortably, her large, bright eyes filled with shyness and confusion.
Gu Mang curled his lips and avoided her injured left leg.
"Don't be afraid," he said with a deep laugh, "Trust yourself in my care!"
