The first leg of Nottingham Forest and Arsenal's three-round match had ended, with Forest winning by a single goal. Wenger was not unhappy. Arsenal's mood was not affected by the defeat, so Fàbregas was still in the mood to exchange jerseys with Wood after the match.
Tang En was also in a good mood. He did not care what Wenger's strategy was. He only knew that a victory in hand was the safest. He never believed in arguments like "what we'll do in the future" or "what we'll do in the next round."
Next, he had to temporarily throw the Champions League out of his thoughts. The Premier League was also the most important.
From the beginning of April to the end of May 22nd, this period of almost two months was the most crucial period of Tony Tang's entire season. Whether or not a season's hard work would pay off depended on these two months.
It was possible for them to achieve the glorious "Triple Crown", but it was also possible that they would all collapse at the last meter, with nothing to show for it.
This was also the busiest period of a season for a manager. They were so busy that they could not care about anything else. Because of this, Tang En felt especially tired every time he returned home and saw the darkness in the huge house. Managers like him who lived apart from his wife for a long time could probably be counted on one hand.
The good news finally came.
After finishing her work in America, Shania turned down an interview and a dinner party and returned to England early.
At this moment, Tang En was holding a cup of coffee and leaning against the door frame, quietly watching Shania busying herself in front of the washing machine.
Those fans who liked Shania probably could not imagine such a scene: a supermodel who shone brightly on the runway, a big star who was a bit of a maverick in the eyes of the media, tidied up the messy room like a normal woman at home, carrying out pile after pile of dirty clothes, throwing them into the washing machine, and then putting on an apron to wash the dishes and cook.
Tang En had no intention of going up to help. Instead, he enjoyed the scene. Seeing his wife working hard for the family, he felt that this was what a family should be like.
"Uncle Tony."
"Hmm?"
"What are you looking at?"
"Looking at you."
"What's there to look at?" Shania laughed. "After being married for so many years, haven't you seen enough?"
"I haven't seen you in a long time. I want to see as much as I can."
Shania was silent for a while. "Uncle Tony, how about I quit my modeling job?"
Clearly, she had misunderstood Twain's meaning.
"Hey, what are you talking about? That's not what I meant. I don't want to do anything now. I just want to look at you. Don't think too much about other things. "
Tang En put down his coffee cup and walked in to help.
"But it's all good now. I don't have anything to do until summer, so I can stay by your side," Shania said happily. She also looked forward to such a day. Su Riya was a high-profile celebrity, but she was not interested in the things that happened in the celebrity circle. She did not crave media exposure, and she rarely went to luxury stores. If she had private time, she would rather spend it with her husband. Even if the two of them curled up on the sofa and watched DVDs, it was better than going out to be photographed by the reporters.
Therefore, the media said that she was a maverick in the modeling world and Hollywood.
Tang En smiled after hearing what she said.
In fact, one of the biggest benefits for him was that he could focus all his attention on football without any worries. But for Shania, the love she received was a little less. It could not be helped. This was the rush period of the season. They were like this every season. Shania returned to take care of Tang En. She enjoyed the time with her husband, while Tang En had to multitask. One part of his love was for his wife, and the other was for football. To Shania, this was a little unfair …
Fortunately, he had a reasonable wife. Other than the occasional complaint that she would be jealous of football, Shania did not have any other complaints.
Thinking of this, Tang En had to thank Shania. Half of the military medal and the other half of his wife were the reason why he could achieve what he had today. It was not easy to have a celebrity wife, let alone a celebrity wife with a personality. But when Shania was with him, she would sacrifice her personality to satisfy his demands. Feminists might think that Tang En was too chauvinistic, but the life of a husband and wife had always been like this. Someone had to sacrifice a part of their own interests, mutual tolerance and mutual tolerance.
What Tang En was thinking now was that he did not want to work in this industry until he was 70, like Ferguson before he retired. Because that way, he would not have much time left to accompany his wife. When he retired, he would give everything to make up for the affection he owed his wife all these years.
Modeling was a youth career, and Shania did not want to have any great development in the movie industry. So when Tang En retired, Shania would most likely not be in the modeling industry anymore. When that time came, the two of them would have a lot of time to arrange their own lives. First, Tang En wanted to accompany Shania to travel around the world, to places they had never been to before. They wanted to go to the corners of the world, to a paradise where there was no news media and no worldly disputes. They would treat it as if there were only the two of them left in the world, and enjoy the world with just the two of them …
Tang En was lost in his thoughts. He rubbed the plate in his hands, letting the water flow non-stop.
"What are you thinking about, Uncle Tony?" Shania sensed Tang En's abnormality.
"Ah …" Tang En turned around and looked at the plate in his hands that had long been washed clean. He put it aside and then turned off the tap. He smiled at Shania. "I'm thinking about our life after retirement."
Shania also put down the work in her hands and asked with interest, "What did you think of? Is it interesting?"
"I thought of taking you to travel around the world. Where do you want to go? "
"Hmm …" Shania raised her head and thought for a while. "There are too many places I want to go …"
"That's okay. We have a lot of time."
"Have you already thought of when you want to retire?"
"Not yet, but I won't wait until I'm 60 or 70. By then, I'll be old and can only sit in my yard and bask in the sun. It'll be boring. "Tang En dried his hands and went around to Shania's back, gently hugging her. "When the time comes, we'll go to places we've never been to before. Don't you like eating ice cream? We'll eat along the way and let you eat ice cream all over the world. "
Shania felt Tang En's breath coming from behind her, making the back of her neck itch. She giggled in Tang En's arms. "Aren't you afraid that I'll eat until I'm a fat woman?"
"An old man and a fat woman are even more compatible." Tang En intimately rubbed against Shania's ear from behind. "We're a match made in heaven, Shania."
Shania did not refute Tang En's description of her as an "old man" and a "fat woman." She snuggled into Tang En's broad chest, enjoying the warm moment. While Tang En was having a hard time living alone in England, wasn't it the same for Shania in the United States?
She longed to smell her man's scent and feel his warmth. After a tiring day of running around for social events and fashion shows, she wanted to snuggle into her husband's arms when she got home. She wanted to cast aside all her worries and quietly enjoy the world that belonged to the two of them.
She closed her eyes slightly and rested her head on her husband's shoulder. She was a little lazy and did not want to move.
Tang En, who was hugging Shania, greedily sniffed the fragrance of her hair.
Then, the two of them smelled something burning at the same time …
"Ah! Egg! "Shania suddenly jumped up and bumped into Tang En's nose. "Uncle Tony?" She turned around in a panic and saw Tang En holding his nose with a pained expression, holding onto the table at the side. Tears seeped out of the corners of his eyes. It looked like he had bumped into it badly. "Uh … I'm so sorry, Uncle Tony …"
Tang En covered his nose with his left hand and pointed behind her with his right. He gestured for her to turn off the electricity.
Shania hurriedly turned off the electricity and dumped the fried egg in the pan into the trash can. After everything that had happened last night, she turned around to look at her husband. Tang En had already recovered. He rubbed his nose and mumbled, "I hate big noses …"
Seeing him in such a sorry state, Shania couldn't help but laugh.
"You're still laughing, you culprit!" Tang En glared at her. He grimaced as he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. "Doesn't your head hurt?"
Shania shook her head and continued to laugh.
"Is the egg burnt?"
"Yes, it's burnt." Shania glanced at the trash can at her feet. The pitch-black fried egg was lying quietly in it. The smile on her face grew wider and wider.
"Let me do it." Tang En wanted to do it himself, but Shania stopped him.
"Let me do it, Uncle Tony. But this time, you're not allowed to be unruly when I'm cooking. "
Tang En spread his hands innocently. "I'm just hugging you."
Shania straightened her face and pointed to the dining table. "Now, sit properly and prepare to eat!"
Tang En sat obediently in front of the table like an obedient child. He held a fork in one hand and a knife in the other, waiting for the meal to start.
Only then did Shania turn around and continue making her fried egg with a smile.
Both of them enjoyed a night like this.

Shania returned to England and was in charge of taking care of Tang En's daily life. When they went to the training ground the next day, Tang En greeted every reporter he met with a smile on his face, which surprised many people. The team was about to go to the Emirates Stadium. Was his confident smile just for Arsenal to see?
Or did he really have a way to ensure victory?
If these reporters knew the truth, they would probably vomit blood.
It was still Pierce Brosnan who understood Tang En the best. When he was writing Tang En's biography, he specifically understood the love story between Tang En and Shania, so he knew the reason. He said to Tang En, who greeted him, "Your wife is back?"
Tang En nodded and left with a smile.
Pierce Brosnan pinched his chin and pondered for a moment. Someone next to him asked him what he was thinking. He replied, "I'm thinking that Forest's unstable factor has been resolved. Arsenal might have to be careful at home …"
The people around him could not understand what he was saying, and Brosnan did not explain. They would know by the weekend anyway.

The next day, a London, England, gossip magazine caught Shania out shopping. In their publication, Shania was dressed ordinarily and did not have the temperament of a model on the runway. Her clothes could not be said to be very tasteful or fashionable.
The magazine editor even mocked, "… Shania is dressed like an old woman from the countryside. This must have made her fashion brand sponsors unhappy. Because she appears in public wearing cheap clothes that look like they were bought at the local 'bull market.' Those crazy fans will be disappointed when they see these photos. The big star in their hearts is not carrying branded clothes, but bread, cheese, and eggs. She's practically a housewife … "
In the photo, Shania did not disguise herself other than wearing a pair of sunglasses. She also did not seem to know that she was being targeted by the paparazzi. She drove to the supermarket and came out with a paper bag full of food and daily necessities. Then she made a phone call. The magazine editor matched her with the line, "Tony, what do you want for dinner?"
In fact, they matched it very accurately. Shania was indeed calling Tang En at the time and had indeed asked that question. Tang En was thinking about the match against Arsenal at the time and answered a little absent-mindedly, "Don't fry the eggs again." As a result, he went back and apologized to Shania for a long time before he could eat dinner.
As everyone could see, just like how Tony Twain did not have a good relationship with the media, as his wife, it was only natural that she would be ridiculed and ridiculed by others.
Following that, Tang En led the team to North London to prepare for the match against Arsenal. He realized that entertainment gossip reporters had mixed into the crowd of reporters who came to interview him.
The questions they asked were naturally related to Shania. Tang En found it strange that the media suddenly wanted to ask about Shania.
"This has nothing to do with the match, right?" He was not willing to answer personal questions while working.
"Will she come to watch the match?" A reporter asked a question that he thought was related to the match.
"What does it have to do with you whether she comes or not?" Tang En refused to cooperate with them with a dark expression.
In fact, Shania would come to watch the match live. Ever since Tang En had a heart attack, Shania would try her best to come to watch the match live if she had the chance. That way, being closer to Tony would give her a sense of security.
It was Wenger who came out to smooth things over. "Please don't ask questions unrelated to the match between the two teams. Our time is limited."
If they did not ask such gossip questions, they could only ask some very boring questions. For example, "What do you think the chances of playing against Nottingham Forest at home?", "Will Van Persie's injury have a big impact on the team?", "Will two consecutive away games make the match difficult for you?", "Is the team's stamina really fine?"
There were no sparks in this press conference. Tang En's performance was normal.
The media left unwillingly.
After the press conference ended, Tang En specially thanked Wenger for helping him out of the situation.
The harmonious atmosphere between the two men made it hard to tell that they were about to start a life and death battle here.
Wenger smiled and said, "I don't want to make you angry. Once you're angry, God knows what you'll do. "He extended his hand." I hope you'll still be in the mood for a drink after the match. "
Tang En also extended his hand. "I don't drink, Arsene."
"Juice is fine too. As long as you're still in the mood. "
"Why not?"
After bidding farewell to Wenger, Tang En received a call from Brosnan. The reporter's mysterious tone on the phone made Tang En suddenly feel like he was asking for a beating.
"Hey, Tony. Umm … Will Jordana's return help you in your final sprint? "
"Is this an interview?"
"No, no. It's definitely not an interview, and it's definitely not going to be published. I'm just a little curious … "
"When did you become as gossipy as those entertainment reporters, Mr. 007?"
"Hehe …" Brosnan only laughed dryly.
Tang En sighed. After all, it was not a huge secret. "Yes. Are you satisfied, Mr. 007?"
"Ah … Thank you! I got it! "Brosnan hung up excitedly.
Tang En looked at his phone and shrugged.
Although Shania wasn't a "good wife" in the strict sense, he needed his wife to push him from the back when he was sprinting …
