Chapter 66 Don't Let Them Touch Your Muscles
Liam squinted his eyes, adjusted to a comfortable position, and looked at her with a smile.
"First, don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'm not the kind of person who seeks wealth and fame. It doesn't matter how much money you earn, as long as we can get by. The key is for you to enjoy your work. Understand?"
He nodded earnestly.
"Second, don't do dangerous things." Stella pursed her lips. "I'm talking about those competitions. Don't push yourself too hard. Our family doesn't need those prize money! In short, I can only give you 100% support if your safety is guaranteed!"
"Third..."
She looked up at him and hesitated for a long while before whispering, "If there are female trainees, don't let them touch your muscles!"
This time, Liam couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Stella blushed and buried her head in his chest, pounding him hard a few times.
"I'm serious!" She protested. "As a woman, I know exactly what those women are thinking! Anyway... I won't allow others to touch you like that. Normal physical contact is fine, but such excessive behavior is strictly prohibited!"
"If you don't agree, I won't let you go out to work! You have to stay at home obediently and not go anywhere!"
Her threatening appearance was particularly cute, and a sense of pity suddenly surged in Liam's heart.
He hugged her tightly and solemnly promised in a low voice in her ear, "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Stella's tense string finally relaxed, and she smiled softly. She fell asleep in his arms shortly after, having a wonderful dream.
The next day was the weekend. Stella held Liam's arm and went out shopping.
Liam had never been interested in shopping, but Stella insisted on buying him a suit that fit him well. After a long time, they finally found a boutique men's clothing store, and Stella happily pulled him in. Although Liam repeatedly emphasized that he was a boxing coach, Stella still wanted him to try on the custom-made suit.
"Even if you're a coach, you can still use formal wear in daily life!" She looked at him seriously and said with a chuckle, "This outfit looks good. Trying it on doesn't cost anything. Go and let me see!" Liam couldn't resist her and reluctantly entered the fitting room with the suit.
When he walked out, Stella's eyes widened.
Usually, Liam was used to wearing T-shirts and jeans, or simply sportswear. This was the first time she had seen him in a suit.
She didn't expect that her husband would look so handsome in a suit!
Liam was more than six feet tall, upright and muscular. He had a near-perfect body proportion and was like a model. The suit seemed to be tailor-made for him, making him look charming and stylish. Besides, he had very manly facial features.
Stella thought he looked hundreds of times more handsome than the models in magazines!
Stella touched and felt the suit. The fabric and workmanship were meticulous and exquisite, and Liam looked particularly energetic wearing it.
So, although her heart twitched a bit when she saw the price tag, she smiled at the shop assistants and told them she wanted to buy this outfit. Liam didn't miss the subtle change in her expression.
His heart was touched. The suits he used to wear were limited edition high-end brands from top international designers, tailored specifically for him.
To him, a suit worth tens of thousands of dollars was like a bargain.
He didn't want Stella to waste her money, but seeing her bright smile, he couldn't bear to dampen her spirits.
A warm feeling gradually rose in Liam's heart.
"Darling, do you like it?" After paying, Stella rushed back to his side like a little bird, chirping non-stop. "You look so handsome in it! Now I know that I should buy you suits and shirts in the future, and then buy a few nice ties to match them, and..."
Stella suddenly stopped talking and stood still.
Liam was taken aback and followed her gaze, only to see that Amelia had also arrived at the shop. Amelia looked at the two of them with mocking contempt in her eyes and sneered from time to time. Stella tugged on Liam's sleeve and wanted to leave first, but Amelia stepped forward and blocked their path.
"Oh, what a coincidence!" Amelia said with a sarcastic tone and snorted, "It seems like you have been promoted at work recently and got a raise, right? You can even bring Liam to buy clothes at this high-end store!"
"Oh, by the way, is the new house comfortable to live in? Humph, you'd better enjoy it. Dad put a lot of thought into picking that property!"
Stella sensed the sarcasm in her words and locked eyes with her. The hatred in Amelia's eyes showed that Amelia wanted to tear her apart.
"Yes, my father-in-law is really kind to us." Liam smiled lightly, blocking Stella behind him. "Not only did he pick a good property, he even put the house under Stella's name on the property deed! As for someone, she probably has to replace a new place as her studio, since she can't really carry the charge of trespassing someone's house at such a young age, right?"
"You..."
Amelia glared at him fiercely.
Liam's face remained indifferent, and he didn't pay her any attention.
"Don't get too cocky, you two!" Amelia gritted her teeth. "It's just a shabby house. Our Taylor family considers it charity to let you live there, like sending away beggars!" "Miss Taylor, if you think that way, it's certainly the best!"
Liam disdained arguing with her, held Stella's shoulder, and was about to leave. However, he heard Amelia shout, "Stella, stop right there!"
Stella turned around, took a deep breath, and looked at Amelia with a calm gaze.
"I've been in talks with your company about a project recently."
Stella's expression slightly changed.
Amelia smirked and continued, "I'll be on the guest list for your company's banquet this weekend. Ha, when we meet, don't feel awkward!"
Stella calmly replied, "I work for the company and get paid to do my job, so there's nothing to feel awkward about. If you need my help with this project, you can come replace me, as long as you don't feel awkward about it."
"Bring your husband along this weekend." Amelia said mockingly, "Let your colleagues and clients see what kind of good person you married, someone you treat like a precious treasure every day!"
When Amelia said those words, she didn't expect that Stella would really appear at the banquet with Liam.
Stella wore a light yellow dress, paired with strappy high heels, and her every smile and movement exuded captivating beauty. Beside her, Liam stood tall and imposing, dressed in the suit they picked out at the boutique that day.
"Wow, he looks so stylish!" Someone whispered, "Didn't they say Stella married a thug who fights all day long? Have you ever seen such a handsome thug?"
"Ha-ha, when they stand together, those who don't know will think they were a CEO and his wife attending the banquet!"
Amelia clenched the goblet tightly, her mouth twitching slightly...
Stella leaned against Liam delicately with a pure and enthusiastic smile, and the entire focus of the banquet seemed to be on this couple. She was a bit nervous, but she was holding Liam's hand and the warmth of his palm made her feel at ease, allowing her to navigate the bustling event with ease.
"See, I didn't bring you here for nothing!" Stella whispered with a smile, "My colleagues are all praising you!"
Liam smiled as he looked at her.
"I might not be able to accompany you later." She was a little sorry and discreetly pointed in a certain direction. "Over there is the CEO of Sunshine Group, Mr. Cooper, the one who had an allergic reaction to peanuts last time... and over there is Mr. Eric Smith from Starlight Group. They're both my clients, so I have to go say hello. Can you eat something here by yourself?"
"Well, I can." He pretended to be serious and teased her. "But you saw those female colleagues who just praised how handsome I am, right? They're all eyeing me like wolves. Are you really so confident in leaving me alone here?"
"You..." Stella widened her eyes.
Liam smiled and playfully tapped her nose before giving her a gentle kiss on the forehead.
"Go entertain your clients. I'll wait for you here. I'll definitely abide by the code of men!"
Stella's eyes curved with a smile as she took a glass of red wine and walked toward her clients.
However, as soon as she left, Liam heard a sharp and delicate voice from behind, "Hey handsome, are you alone?"
