Gu Mang guessed what was going on, and continued calmly, "Go to your room, open the drawer in the closet, there's a box inside, bring it to me."
Jiang Can said "Oh," and did as he was told. Sure enough, she found a carved wooden box at the very back of the drawer. The carvings on the box were exquisite and beautiful, and it also emitted a faint fragrance.
Gu Mang took it and opened it, revealing several pieces of glittering gold jewelry. There were necklaces, earrings, and rings, especially the gold and jade bracelet, which had a very special design. The mutton fat jade set in the gold was warm and translucent, with a rich color and was exceptionally beautiful.
Jiang Can opened her eyes wide and looked at him, confused.
"this……"
"When we got married, I didn't give you any decent betrothal gifts." Gu Mang casually picked up the items one by one and looked at them. "Consider these as compensation. Take a look, is there anything you're not satisfied with?"
Jiang Can clenched and unclenched her small hands under the table, feeling a little nervous. She stole a glance at Gu Mang's cold and stern face, and for some reason, a sweet feeling welled up in her heart.
Each piece of jewelry was exquisite and flawless.
How did he come to have these things?
Gu Mang saw through her little scheme and couldn't help but chuckle, "Don't worry, these weren't stolen or robbed; they're all legitimate!"
Jiang Can's face turned red instantly.
How could she doubt her husband like that?
"Keep it all." Gu Mang closed the box, pushed it in front of her, and looked at her quietly with his deep eyes. "This is all I have, and it's all this family has. We're married now, so it's only right that you manage the household. That's why I'm giving you all our possessions!"
"Gu Mang, I..."
“There’s one more thing,” he interrupted her. “You’re going back to your parents’ home today, so I won’t be accompanying you. Please apologize to your family for me.”
Jiang Can was stunned for a moment, then suddenly let out a long sigh of relief, and relaxed completely.
"Okay, sure." She smiled slightly. "You go ahead and do your thing, I can manage on my own!"
Seeing her relieved expression, Gu Mang shook his head, secretly amused. This young wife is really interesting; her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all written on her face, and she can't hide a single thought.
With a personality like that, it's no wonder people bully you!
Bully?
Gu Mang's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and her heart suddenly tightened. What if she was really bullied by that family when she went back to her parents' home today?
But what does it matter to him if she's being bullied...?
Gu Mang's mind was in turmoil. He ate a few bites haphazardly, put down his chopsticks, put on his coat, and went out.
Jiang Can had no idea where he was. After tidying up the house quickly, she also went to catch the bus. On the way, she received a call from Lin Yuqing, who kept talking all the way until she got off the bus, still on the phone.
"I'm telling you, you're incredibly carefree! What day is it today? It's your homecoming! And your husband has just disappeared? Does he even care about you? Does he even care about this marriage?!"
Jiang Can just smiled sheepishly on the other end.
Lin Yuqing is a senior two years ahead of her and her best friend from her student days. She has a fiery personality, and Jiang Can often says that if she were born in ancient times, she would definitely be a heroine.
At this moment, the chivalrous woman could no longer contain herself and launched into a tirade like a machine gun: "That penniless wretch, he must be incredibly lucky to have married you! Yet he doesn't appreciate it at all, he didn't even accompany you on your homecoming visit, he..."
"Alright, alright!" Jiang Can awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth. "It was my fault for not wanting him to come with me. Today... today I went home to ask for money, and he came with me. That gave everything away!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a heavy sigh from Lin Yuqing.
"Can Can, you've risked your entire life's happiness!"
