Jiang Can was confused and didn't know how to answer him, so she could only respond shyly to his words.
She gently closed her eyes, hearing the crisp sound of the light rain pattering against the window, feeling the man's passionate kisses and fiery passion... She slowly opened herself up, like a flower blooming beautifully beneath him.
...
Gu Mang slowly woke up in the early morning.
Back in the Huo family, he would sometimes get up at four in the morning to handle official business. He had always woken up early, a habit that had remained unchanged for many years.
However, last night, because of her, he had the urge to stay in bed for the first time in his life.
He turned and gazed at her quietly. The little woman was sleeping soundly, her sleeping face charming and adorable. He couldn't resist kissing her lips, and the sweet fragrance stirred his heart again.
He tried his best to restrain himself, thinking of the madness of last night, and seeing the shallow scratches on his body.
She must have been in so much pain, and she must have been exhausted.
Gu Mang got up and suddenly saw his phone light up. His expression changed slightly, he put on his T-shirt, got out of bed, and quietly walked to the balcony.
"Third Brother, I hope I didn't disturb you so early?" Ye Chen asked in a low voice.
"What's up?"
Ye Chen chuckled softly, "Your grandfather has recently made a move and taken back one of Huo Zhanhe's branch companies. Now the entire Huo family is saying that you were the one who tricked him."
Gu Mang smiled slightly.
It really was a trap he set.
Fortunately, his grandfather favored him, and no matter how meticulously Huo Zhanhe forged his accounts, his grandfather could still find flaws. Besides, among the many members of the Huo family, there were many who were more arrogant than Huo Zhanhe, and although his grandfather was old, he was not senile.
Therefore, his punishment of Huo Zhanhe was actually a warning to those with ulterior motives.
"What has my second uncle done?" Gu Mang asked in a low voice.
"It's said that he was completely convinced in front of the old man." Ye Chen smiled. "Don't you know your second uncle? Not only did he cry and admit his mistakes in front of your grandfather, but he also knelt in your Huo family ancestral hall and repented to the ancestors for several nights!"
Gu Mang sneered; he could already imagine how the media in the capital would report on Huo Zhanhe extensively.
They would all be unanimously positive praises, saying things like "he admitted his mistakes and corrected them," "he was kind-hearted," and "he was filial and loyal to his family."
This is a trick that Huo Zhanhe often uses. Under such one-sided praise, even if he has made a huge mistake, it can be covered up.
So how could outsiders believe that such an honest and kind uncle would tamper with the plane and frame his own nephew?
Gu Mang's expression was sinister, and his hand gripping the balcony railing suddenly tightened.
"I will not return to Yangcheng for the time being."
Ye Chen was taken aback. "If we don't go back now, won't we miss the opportunity?"
"My second uncle's acting skills are Oscar-worthy; even if I go back, it won't help. We should observe the situation and find his most fatal weakness to wipe him and his men out in one fell swoop!"
Ye Chen nodded, agreeing with his point of view.
But then a soft voice came from the phone, "Gu Mang? Honey...where are you?"
Jiang Can's "husband" was languid and tender, and even through the microphone, Ye Chen's heart trembled.
Not to mention Gu Mang, who faces her every day.
Ye Chen laughed. So there was another reason why he wasn't returning to Yangcheng for the time being...
Gu Mang hurriedly hung up the phone and strode into the room.
Jiang Can, wrapped in a bed sheet, was trying hard to reach the clothes on the floor, but because of her left leg injury, she couldn't reach them even with her face flushed.
Gu Mang walked in, bent down to pick up the clothes from the ground, and carefully draped them over her body.
Jiang Can glanced at him, then shyly lowered her head.
The way she looked at him was different than before.
Now, she has completely transformed into a doting wife who is deeply attached to her husband.
Gu Mang gently stroked her flushed cheeks and asked in a low voice, "Does your body still hurt?"
Jiang Can paused for a moment, then nodded almost imperceptibly, followed by a gentle smile as she leaned shyly against his chest.
"I'm sorry, I hurt you last night." Gu Mang ruffled her hair and whispered in her ear, "But... I'll know what to do next time."
She playfully punched him and scolded, "Alright, stop talking!"
He held her close, laughing heartily.
"Then you can sleep a little longer, I'll make breakfast." He volunteered. "What would you like to eat?"
"Anything is fine?" Jiang Can rolled her big eyes. "Hmm... I don't have much of an appetite, just cook me a bowl of noodles."
"Okay, add some more shredded meat, and I'll make you shredded meat noodles."
"Why are you having meat so early in the morning?"
"You must have had a tough night." He grinned mischievously. "I'll give you some tonic, so you can keep it up tonight!"
Jiang Can's face turned bright red, and she punched him hard with her little fists. "I told you to stop talking, but you still kept talking!"
...
In the following days, Jiang Can realized that Gu Mang's words "keep up the good work" were not just empty words.
Her leg injury made it difficult for her to move around, so he used that as an excuse to carry her every day. She could easily use crutches, but he wouldn't allow it. He would carry her from the moment she woke up in the morning until she went to bed at night, and then…
Jiang Can couldn't handle it, so she scolded him in a soft but firm way.
"My leg injury hasn't healed yet, so I can't do strenuous exercise!"
He argued vehemently, "You need to move your leg more; that'll help it heal faster!"
"You're taking advantage of my leg injury to bully me on purpose!"
“Wife,” he grinned mischievously, “your leg is injured, so you just lie there and don’t move. I’ll take care of the rest…”
