Gu Mang smiled indulgently, looking tenderly at the little woman in his arms.
"Honey," Jiang Can said playfully, snuggling against him, "How about we help them out?"
"Help them?" Gu Mang was taken aback. How could he help with something like this? He had no experience with it.
"Yes!" the young wife said earnestly, "If it weren't for Dr. Shen, we wouldn't be together. In fact, we should thank him for being such a great matchmaker!"
"If we can help him and Sister Yuqing get together this time, that would be perfect!"
Gu Mang's eyes were deep, and he did not respond.
He thought more and more complicatedly than she did, and he didn't like to get involved in these things rashly.
Besides, he didn't know who Lin Yuqing really was, and Shen Xiao had saved his life, so he couldn't betray him.
But Jiang Can was very enthusiastic and especially wanted to be the matchmaker.
Gu Mang smiled and ruffled her hair.
“Honey,” Jiang Can leaned against his shoulder like a kitten, “I’ve got a great idea… How about we go on a trip together? Yuqing and I both have annual leave, and I’ve even found a place!”
She excitedly showed him her phone.
It is a beautiful hot spring resort located on the outskirts of the city, directly opposite the Huo Family Manor in Minghuang Mountain.
Jiang Can had wanted to go for a long time, and her eyes lit up when she saw these beautiful pictures.
"Why did you choose this place?" Gu Mang's eyes darkened. "You really like it?"
“This place is very famous!” Jiang Can explained excitedly. “On many review websites, this hot spring guesthouse has five-star reviews! And you have to book six months in advance for holidays.”
"If we go now, we can avoid the holiday rush, avoid the crowds, and have a quiet and enjoyable time!"
"So you had it all planned out?" Gu Mang chuckled.
It seems she really likes it here.
But if she knew that the big boss behind this guesthouse was Huo Zhixing, would she still like it so much...?
Seeing his strange expression, Jiang Can assumed he didn't want to go, so she snuggled into his arms and acted coquettishly. "Honey, come with me! Even if you don't like playing matchmaker, then... then consider it a honeymoon for me, okay?"
"Honeymoon?"
"We've been married for so long and we've never had a honeymoon..." Jiang Can's voice trailed off, her cheeks as red as ripe apples.
Gu Mang paused for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter and gently pulled her into his arms.
Yes, he owes her not only a wedding, but also a honeymoon.
Let's fix whichever one we can fix now!
"Okay." He kissed the tip of her nose and said gently, "You talk to Lin Yuqing, I'll handle Shen Xiao. Once everything is ready, we'll set off immediately!"
...
Three days later, the plane landed at Yangcheng International Airport. The group took the airport express and then a bus, and after a long and tiring journey, they finally arrived at the hot spring guesthouse before sunset.
After storing their luggage, they planned to walk around the area.
Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the scenery here is beautiful and pleasant. Walking on the mountain path, you can feel the cool breeze blowing past your ears and the fragrance of summer in the air. The distant mountains are layered upon layered, and the flowers bloom by the roadside. The unique pavilions and towers of the hot spring homestay come into view. Everything is so beautiful that it seems like a fairy tale world.
Jiang Can and Lin Yuqing excitedly took photos all the way, while Gu Mang and Shen Xiao followed behind, like knights guarding a princess, their gentle gazes reflecting only their beloved ones.
"Hey," Shen Xiao patted Gu Mang, "Such a nice place, you definitely didn't find it, right?"
Gu Mang smiled at him, responding with silence.
“This idea wasn’t yours either!” Shen Xiao knew him very well.
“It was indeed Jiang Can’s idea,” Gu Mang said in a low voice. “She really wanted you to be with Lin Yuqing, so she suggested that everyone travel together to increase their interaction.”
“She really put her heart into it.” Shen Xiao smiled, glancing around. “But this place is indeed well-chosen… it’s just a little strange.”
"What's wrong?"
"I checked, and this guesthouse is very famous. Before coming, I thought it would be packed with people. But to my surprise, there wasn't a single person here except for us! Even if it's not a holiday, it shouldn't be this quiet, right?"
Gu Mang coughed lightly twice.
He had already cleared the area before he arrived, so of course there was no one in sight.
"Sigh, this looks like it's not doing well. Is it about to go bankrupt?"
"..." Gu Mang frowned and rolled his eyes at him.
"What, you like crowds and noise?"
Shen Xiao shrugged. "I guess everyone has a herd mentality, haha. Anyway, when I go out to eat, if I see a restaurant that's not crowded, I definitely won't go in!"
Gu Mang gave a muffled "hmm," and said, "There aren't many people at the Seven Star Hotel, so you can't afford to eat there."
"Hey, I have to say, you..." Shen Xiao was both amused and exasperated. This guy was fine when he didn't speak, but once he did, he could really choke someone.
Thanks to my tireless care for him day and night, I risked my life to save him.
"Hey, what are you two dawdling about in the back for!" Jiang Can's sweet voice came from the front.
Gu Mang looked up and saw Jiang Can waving at them.
She and Lin Yuqing were by the roadside, and there seemed to be another person besides them...
Gu Mang's eyes darkened, and his expression immediately became alert.
This area has been cleared out, so there shouldn't be any unauthorized people coming in. What's going on?
"Honey, come quick!" Jiang Can hooked her arm around his. "This old lady can read palms!"
Gu Mang paused, realizing that there did indeed seem to be a temple not far from here.
It's normal for some itinerant sorcerers to roam this area.
He was still worried and wanted to pull Jiang Can away quickly, but Jiang Can looked at him with a smile and insisted that he open his palm to show the old lady.
"Grandma, please look!" Jiang Can stretched out her right hand, placing it together with Gu Mang's left hand. "I'd like to ask you to look at my marriage prospects!"
She didn't care about anything else, only whether she could be with her husband forever.
She looked at the old woman with anticipation, but after a moment, the old woman raised her head, looked at her with eyes full of vicissitudes, and a strange smile appeared on her lips.
"I think... this young lady is destined to be an empress! She is destined for great wealth and honor!"
"What?" Jiang Can was taken aback, then laughed. "Grandma, you're mistaken! There are no empresses in this era."
The old lady waved her hand, her voice aged and slightly trembling, "The empress I'm talking about isn't that kind of empress... young lady, what I mean is that you will marry a wonderful man, and your husband will definitely be a man of immense power!"
“No way!” She hugged Gu Mang. “This is my husband! He’s just an ordinary person.”
The old lady stared blankly at Gu Mang, a glint suddenly flashing in her cloudy eyes.
"This is your husband?" Her voice rose at the end, instantly making the atmosphere extremely eerie.
"Ah, when falsehood is taken for truth, even truth becomes falsehood; when truth is taken for falsehood, even falsehood becomes truth... Ah, a husband? Within ten feet he is a husband, beyond ten feet he is not!"
