That day, no one knew why Cheng Xiaoxiao came back with her face swollen and blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
His disheveled appearance was exactly the same as the day Fang Jinyang was beaten.
Some clever people connected the two incidents and quickly implicated Jiang Can. However, because Jiang Can was usually well-liked, had a gentle personality, and was ambitious at work, even if Jiang Can had really hit Cheng Xiaoxiao, everyone would think that Cheng Xiaoxiao had pushed the honest person to the limit.
In addition, without concrete evidence, people just talk about it and then it's over.
However, although it wasn't captured on surveillance footage, Ye Chen definitely saw this scene.
Ye Chen was at a nearby law firm when he saw Jiang Can assaulting someone; it was a scene that was almost unheard of.
He immediately reported to Gu Mang, and perhaps influenced by Bai Jingyuan, his words also carried the tone of the young master Bai: "Third brother, your little wife is really a little firecracker. Those slaps were swift and decisive! She kept saying that if you dare to say anything bad about her husband again, the consequences will be even worse!"
Gu Mang's brow twitched, and a smile appeared on his cold face.
No wonder she looked flustered when she got home that day, and kept asking him how many years she would be sentenced to for fighting...
Actually, she wasn't without fear.
But in order to protect him, she raised all her thorns.
Gu Mang felt a warmth in his heart, and his gaze softened as he looked at the busy woman in the kitchen.
He walked in quietly.
Jiang Can is struggling with a fish.
The fish was already dying on the cutting board. Jiang Can laid the cleaver flat, raised it high, and brought it down heavily with a thud. The fish was completely stunned, its mouth slowly opening and closing. Jiang Can took the opportunity to quickly scrape off the scales and cut open its belly.
Gu Mang smiled; it was the first time he had ever seen such a bloody scene of a woman killing a fish.
Especially for a soft and gentle woman like Jiang Can.
"How did you get in here?" Jiang Can turned around at the sound of her voice, a few strands of hair falling in front of her eyes.
"Why not just buy a pre-cleaned fish?" he asked softly. "Why go through all that trouble? Just buy a live fish and clean it yourself."
“You just don’t understand!” Jiang Can said matter-of-factly, “If you let the vendor kill the fish, they might switch it out! It’s not worth it to get a stale, dead fish instead! It’s better for me to go through the trouble and do it myself at home for peace of mind!”
Gu Mang curled his lips into a smile.
It was hot these past few days, so she was wearing a T-shirt and shorts at home. The white T-shirt was a bit see-through, revealing her bra straps, and her fair and slender legs were clearly exposed in front of him under her shorts. He looked at her for a while, and suddenly felt his heartbeat lose its usual rhythm, so he quickly turned his gaze away.
Jiang Can adjusted the straps of her apron.
The apron fell right at her thighs.
Gu Mang's throat tightened and felt dry as he watched.
Kitchen, apron. Her busy figure, her bare legs.
Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and the tip of her nose...
All of this gave him a strange, nagging feeling.
Gu Mang took a few deep breaths, suppressing those beautiful thoughts.
Then he felt he had really gone to the wrong place; the woman in front of him was clearly his wife! Even if he had the intention, it would be perfectly legal and justifiable for him to act on it!
Seeing that he had been standing there motionless for a long time, Jiang Can straightened up and glanced at him. His face was slightly flushed, he was a little out of breath, and his gaze had become somewhat abnormal... She was startled and quickly wiped her hands to touch his head.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Oh, why is your face so hot?"
