Gu Mang smiled slightly, "Emperor Hotel."
Jiang Can swallowed hard and forced a smile.
He really doesn't hold back; every time he goes out to eat, he only goes to the Emperor Hotel...
However, considering that he has just recovered from a serious injury, let's treat it as a way to help him recover!
Jiang Can changed her clothes and went to the hotel with Gu Mang.
Guests came and went in a steady stream at the Emperor Hotel, but strangely, no one ever went to sit at the table by the window.
As soon as the two entered, the waiter courteously led them to a window seat.
"Honey, it's the same spot we sat in the last two times!" Jiang Can exclaimed in surprise. "Is the service here this attentive? We've only been here twice, and you already know where we usually sit?"
Gu Mang smiled but said nothing, glanced at the menu and handed it to the waiter, then exchanged a wink with the waiter.
The waiter recognized him and knew that he had a close relationship with Bai Jingyuan, so he quickly went to inform the kitchen.
Soon all the dishes were served. Jiang Can was even more surprised after tasting them. She preferred sweet flavors, and every dish was sweet but not too greasy, which made her like it from the bottom of her heart.
"This hotel is truly exceptional!" Jiang Can exclaimed once again. "The service is amazing! Do the chefs remember every guest's preferences so clearly?"
Gu Mang looked at her quietly, his smiling eyes full of doting affection.
Are you feeling better now?
"Huh?" Jiang Can was taken aback. How did he figure that out?
Gu Mang placed the peeled crayfish meat into her plate.
"I feel...much better." Jiang Can smiled sheepishly. "Anyway, as long as I enjoy the food, I'm happy!"
Gu Mang narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled, "You're really easy to deal with!"
"What else can I do?" she pouted. "If I can't get over every little thing that bothers me and keep getting stuck on it, how can I live like this? Anyway, whether I'm worried or happy, I'd rather be happy!"
This kind of mentality is still commendable.
Gu Mang looked at her with a smile, and then carefully removed the bones from the grilled sea bass.
While eating, Jiang Can told Gu Mang everything that had happened that day.
"I think things like today will probably happen again in the future. I know Jiang Yao too well. She's never been able to stand me being better than her since we were little, and I've always given in to her all these years, so she thinks I'm easy to bully..."
“But from today onwards, I will no longer tolerate this.” Jiang Can put down her chopsticks, her expression resolute. “Don’t think that the world revolves around her, or that being an illegitimate child means she can insult me at will! I couldn’t choose my birth, but that’s not an excuse for her to insult me!”
“That’s right.” Gu Mang gently held her small hand. “No matter what you do, I will support you.”
Jiang Can grinned and lowered his head to eat his food.
“Working with Jiang Yao from now on will be very annoying,” Gu Mang said in a deep voice. “Can Can, if you can’t stand it, don’t force yourself. You can always quit. I’m earning a good income now…”
"No need!" Jiang Can smiled innocently. "You can keep the money you earn for yourself. You're a man. If you go out with friends for social events or something, it'll be embarrassing if you don't have any money on you!"
Gu Mang smiled wryly, "Wife, I..."
I don't need to pay for entertaining my friends out of my own pocket!
"I won't resign," Jiang Can said clearly. "I worked so hard to get this position, how could I leave so easily? Don't worry, I'll control my emotions and handle things properly. We're all adults, not so delicate!"
Gu Mang felt uneasy hearing this and gripped her small hand even tighter.
After a long silence, he whispered a few words, "It's because your husband is useless that you have to suffer."
"Don't talk nonsense! I can handle this." Jiang Can laughed. "But then again, you really can't work for others your whole life. You still need to have your own business!"
Gu Mang's eyes lit up, and he looked at her with great interest.
"Your own business?"
"Yes! If you can do some investing or side hustles in your spare time, that's a form of income!"
Jiang Can started planning very seriously, "Even if I open a small shop or set up a small stall, it's still my own business. I can be my own boss and make the decisions. Isn't that great!"
"If you really had a sum of money to invest, what kind of business would you most like to start?"
Jiang Can thought for a moment, then her face showed an expression like a little girl daydreaming.
"Heh... If I had a lot of money, I'd love to buy an entire shopping mall, with customers flocking in every day! Hehe, but that's definitely impossible. A more realistic goal would be to save up enough money to open a small coffee shop, with large floor-to-ceiling windows and a small courtyard full of irises. Then I'd sit behind the counter grinding coffee and baking, filling the whole place with the aroma of coffee and desserts!"
Is that all?
"Um!"
"Okay." Gu Mang smiled slightly. "I understand."
Jiang Can was startled, suddenly snapping out of her reverie.
Gu Mang spoke in a very light and casual tone, but his calm expression showed no sign of joking.
Jiang Can suddenly remembered that time when she was ambushed by Sun Teng and Fang Jinyang. After waking up in the hospital, Gu Mang asked her in a casual tone, "If you had superpowers, how would you punish these villains?"
She casually said something like, "Make them disappear from my sight forever."
Sure enough, she never saw those two again after returning to the company...
Jiang Can's heart was pounding, and a strange feeling spread and climbed through her heart like vines.
"What's wrong?" Gu Mang ladled out the soup and placed it in front of her.
Jiang Can was stunned for a moment, and when she raised her hand, she almost knocked over the soup bowl.
"Eat quickly," Gu Mang said gently, "It won't be good if it gets cold."
His deep eyes were like an unfathomable pool. She was somewhat lost in thought and hurriedly picked up the soup bowl and gulped it down.
After dinner, the two took a walk along the beach.
Jiang Can nestled against him like a little bird, remaining silent for a while before raising her eyes to quietly observe him. Under the streetlights, the tall, handsome man's features were clearly defined, yet he possessed an air of mystery that was difficult to fathom.
Gu Mang noticed her gaze, lowered his head slightly and smiled, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Husband..." Jiang Can hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "You...you're just an ordinary person, right?"
Why do you ask that?
"Answer me first, is that right or wrong!"
Gu Mang ruffled her hair and pulled her into his arms.
Some words were stuck in his throat, lingering for a long time before he swallowed them back down, finally uttering only a single word, "Yes."
"But I'm a petty thug who got into fights and even went to jail. I'm far worse off than the average person."
"Phew! I knew it! My husband must be an ordinary person!" Jiang Can breathed a sigh of relief and excitedly hugged him. "That's wonderful, honey!"
Gu Mang frowned, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
why is that?
"Don't you wish your husband... were an extraordinary person?"
