Gu Mang's lips twitched slightly.
Jiang Can looked at him with some worry. She was concerned that Gu Mang might have fallen back into the company of his former shady inmates and used some special means to force Jiang Mingyuan to buy the house for her.
Even if you succeed in forcing them temporarily, there will be endless troubles in the future.
She really didn't want Gu Mang to get into any more unnecessary trouble.
"Are you worried about me?" Gu Mang's gaze was deep, and he smiled lightly. "Don't worry, it's all done by legitimate means. Since I promised you I wouldn't cause any more trouble, I will definitely keep my word."
"But my dad..."
“I found a lawyer,” he said casually. “I met him in the detention center. He often provides legal aid to inmates and is a good person. He has helped me a lot since I got out.”
"Oh, I see." Jiang Can finally felt relieved. "Then we should thank him properly! Or how about inviting him over for a meal?"
"No need for now, Attorney Ye is quite busy. We can talk about it another time."
Jiang Can nodded and carefully put the property certificate away.
Gu Mang wrapped his arms around her from behind.
I've been busy with her family matters lately and haven't had a chance to be affectionate with her.
The moonlight was perfect, and a gentle breeze blew in, carrying her sweet fragrance like a kitten's claws, softly scratching at his heart.
Gu Mang was captivated by her beauty and rested his chin on her neck, leaving kisses of varying depths on her fair skin.
Just as they were about to take things further, Jiang Can gently pulled his hand back, turned around and smiled shyly at him.
"No...it's not convenient today."
"Is there anything inconvenient?"
"Um..." Jiang Can blushed, "My stomach hurts."
Those few words were like a bucket of cold water, waking Gu Mang up. He reluctantly and slowly withdrew his hand, his face clearly showing his unsatisfied desire.
Jiang Can suppressed a laugh, hooked her arms around his neck, and lightly kissed his cheek. "Is this how you make it up to me?"
"That's it?" he said, feigning seriousness. "It's just a superficial glance, not sincere at all."
"I'm afraid if I'm too sincere, you won't be able to control yourself. In the end, won't you be the one who suffers?"
Gu Mang looked up at her; her beautiful doe eyes sparkled with a mischievous light, and she seemed more charming than usual, gentle and quiet. This woman was like a woman of a thousand faces, always bringing him a sense of novelty that he couldn't resist.
However, no matter how itchy I feel inside, I can only endure it.
Gu Mang sighed deeply, embraced her as they lay on the bed, and buried his face in her chest, rubbing it from side to side.
Jiang Can was amused by him, and gently ran her fingers through his hair, softly telling him to go to sleep early.
"I can't sleep," he said hoarsely. "Why is your period still here?"
“What’s so strange about that?” Jiang Can looked at him. “It happens every month, very punctually.”
"I was so diligent last month, shouldn't I be pregnant this month?"
Jiang Can blushed instantly, her cheeks burning as if she had a fever.
"What are you saying!" She turned her back to him. "When it comes to children, shouldn't we just let nature take its course?"
"Yes, that's true. Let nature take its course..."
Gu Mang's large hand rested on her lower abdomen, his serious expression making her both amused and exasperated.
"Honey," she asked him softly, "do you really want to have a baby?"
"You don't want to?"
"I'm not really thinking about it right now."
Gu Mang's eyes widened for a moment, and his brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly relaxed.
Jiang Can pouted and muttered to herself, "Raising a child is too expensive now. Not only do you have to give birth to him and raise him, but you also have to educate him and plan for his future... I don't think I have the ability to afford that."
“And…” she turned to look at him, a hint of shyness flashing in her eyes, “I want to spend more time alone with you.”
After speaking, she lowered her eyes, her lips slightly upturned, and her dimples rippled with sweetness.
Gu Mang felt as if his heart had been struck by something.
Before, he always walked on eggshells, his life filled with unseen dangers. But now, with Jiang Can by his side, he realized that there was such beautiful sunshine in the world. Her warm glow filled his cold, damp heart, and she led him into a season of spring blossoms.
But if we return to the central city, all of this will be gone...
Gu Mang smiled and hugged her even tighter, as if afraid she would run away.
"Don't worry, if we have a child, I won't let you bear the burden alone." He chuckled softly in a hoarse voice. "I've found a job, and I'll give you my salary card from now on, so your burden won't be so heavy."
"What?" Jiang Can's eyes widened, both surprised and delighted. "You found a job? When did that happen?"
“Just a couple of days ago,” Gu Mang smiled. “I work as a boxing coach at the gym, and sometimes I go out to compete. If I win a place in a competition, there will be a generous bonus.”
Jiang Can was slightly taken aback.
Being a boxing coach is a pretty good profession. Besides, he enjoys wielding weapons and often hits the punching bag on the balcony, which has given him a muscular physique, making him well-suited for this line of work.
Jiang Can was worried, though, that this line of work was risky and injuries were commonplace, and she didn't want him to work so hard.
In addition, many women nowadays like to learn self-defense techniques, and they become unable to resist muscular men. What if...
She pouted, a sudden surge of inexplicable jealousy rising in her heart.
“You can go out to work,” she said, looking at him, “but we need to agree on three rules!”
"What?" Gu Mang was stunned for a moment, then found it funny.
What, things have changed? Now men need women's permission to go out to work?
