Gu Mang narrowed his eyes, adjusted to a comfortable position, and smiled at her.
"First, don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'm not the kind of person who necessarily craves wealth and luxury. It doesn't matter how much money I make, as long as I can make ends meet. The key is that you have to be happy at work, understand?"
He nodded very seriously.
"Secondly, you're not allowed to do anything dangerous." Jiang Can pursed her lips. "I mean, those competitions and stuff, don't push yourself too hard. Our family doesn't need the prize money! In short, I can only give you my full support if your safety is guaranteed!"
"Third..."
She looked up at him, hesitated for a long time, and then whispered, "If there are female students, you're not allowed to let them touch your muscles!"
Gu Mang couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
Jiang Can blushed deeply, buried her head in his chest, and punched him twice.
“I’m serious!” she protested. “I’m a woman, I know all too well what those women are thinking! Anyway… anyway, I won’t allow you to be touched by anyone else. Normal physical contact is fine, but this kind of excessive behavior is absolutely not allowed!”
"If you don't agree, I won't let you go out to work! You'd better stay home obediently and you're not allowed to go anywhere!"
His fierce appearance was particularly adorable, and a feeling of pity suddenly welled up in Gu Mang's heart.
He hugged her tightly and whispered a solemn promise in her ear: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Jiang Can finally relaxed, smiled gently, and fell asleep in his arms not long after, having a colorful dream.
...
The next day was the weekend, and Jiang Can went out shopping with Gu Mang on her arm.
He'd never been interested in shopping, but his girlfriend insisted on buying him some suitable clothes. After browsing for a long time, they finally spotted a boutique menswear store, and Jiang Can happily pulled him inside.
Despite Gu Mang's repeated insistence that his job was as a boxing coach, Jiang Can still made him try on the custom-made suit.
“Even if you’re a coach, you can wear this kind of formal attire anytime!” She looked at him earnestly and chuckled softly. “This outfit is nice, and it’s free to try it on. Go put it on and show it to me!”
Gu Mang couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he took the suit and went into the fitting room.
When he came out, Jiang Can's eyes were wide open.
Gu Mang usually wore T-shirts and jeans, or sportswear, so this was the first time she had ever seen him in a suit.
She never expected her husband to look so good in a suit!
Gu Mang is nearly 1.9 meters tall, upright and strong, with almost perfect proportions; he's practically a walking clothes hanger. This suit seems tailor-made for him, making him look angular, sharp, and stylish.
Coupled with his very masculine features.
Jiang Can thought he was hundreds of times more handsome than the models in the picture book!
Jiang Can looked at it from left to right and touched it from right to left. The fabric and workmanship were quite exquisite, and Gu Mang looked particularly energetic in it.
So when she saw the price tag, her heart skipped a beat, but she still smiled at the shop assistant and told them she wanted the outfit.
Even the slightest change in her expression did not escape Gu Mang's eyes.
Gu Mang's heart skipped a beat. The suits he used to wear were all limited edition haute couture from top international brands, with world-class designers personally taking his measurements.
For him, a suit costing tens of thousands of yuan is equivalent to a cheap street vendor item.
He didn't want Jiang Can to waste her money, but seeing her bright smile, he couldn't bear to dampen her spirits.
A warm feeling gradually welled up in Gu Mang's eyes.
"Honey, do you like it?" After paying, Jiang Can flew back to his side like a little dove, chattering incessantly. "You look so handsome in it! Now I know, from now on I'll buy you suits and shirts, along with a few nice ties, and then..."
Jiang Can suddenly stopped talking and stood there, stunned.
Gu Mang was taken aback. Following her gaze, he saw that Jiang Yao had also entered the store at some point. She was looking at the two of them with a mocking and contemptuous gaze, occasionally letting out a cold laugh.
Jiang Can tugged at Gu Mang, wanting to leave first, but Jiang Yao stepped forward and blocked her way.
"Oh, what a coincidence!" Jiang Yao said sarcastically, scoffing twice. "Looks like my sister's been doing really well at work lately, got a promotion and a raise, huh? She can even bring her husband to this kind of boutique to buy clothes!"
"By the way, are you comfortable living in the new house? Heh, you must live there well. Your dad put a lot of effort into choosing that development!"
Jiang Can sensed the sarcasm in her words, looked up to meet her gaze, and saw the hatred in Jiang Yao's eyes that seemed to want to tear her apart.
"Yes, my father-in-law is really good to us." Gu Mang smiled faintly, shielding Jiang Can behind him. "Not only did he pick a good apartment complex, but he even put Jiang Can's name on the property certificate! As for some people, they'll probably have to find a new place to use as their studio. They're so young, they can't really be charged with trespassing, can they?"
"you……"
Jiang Yao glared at him fiercely.
Gu Mang remained nonchalant, completely disregarding her.
"You two, don't be so smug!" Jiang Yao gritted her teeth. "It's just a dilapidated house. Our Jiang family will consider it an act of charity, like sending off a beggar!"
"It would be wonderful if Miss Jiang thought that way!"
Gu Mang didn't bother arguing with her. He put his arm around Jiang Can's shoulder and was about to leave when he heard Jiang Yao shout, "Jiang Can, stop right there!"
Jiang Can turned around, took a deep breath, and looked at her with a faint gaze.
"I'm currently discussing a project with your company."
Jiang Can's expression changed slightly.
Jiang Yao smiled and continued, "I'm on the guest list for your company's banquet this weekend. Heh, don't feel awkward when we meet!"
