Chapter 2110: Like a Piece of Dog-Skin Plaster

~7 min read 1,362 words

Jiang Motian rubbed her ears, too lazy to pay attention to Jiang Mobai.

But Jiang Mobai would not allow her not to believe him, and kept nagging at her side.

The host over there cupped a hand over his eyes and spotted the "lucky one."

Then he smiled and said, "That lady seems to have been knocked dizzy by happiness; I wonder if she could come up and share with everyone how it feels to be knocked dizzy?"

His witty words drew smiles from the crowd.

Su Kexuan was not a coy person; she held the bouquet and walked over generously.

Li Xingyan saw the entire process of the bouquet being thrown.

To be honest, it was quite "spectacular."

He asked Wei Yangyang with a smile, "Arranged in advance?"

"Huh?"

Wei Yangyang's blank expression answered Li Xingyan.

Li Xingyan deepened his smile and said, "Mm, I know now."

No, what did he know?

Wei Yangyang was just about to ask Li Xingyan, but Su Kexuan had already walked over.

The host led Su Kexuan to the front of the stage and had her stand beside Wei Yangyang.

Afterward, he began the routine Q&A: "Let me ask this lucky lady, are you single?"

"Yes, I am."

Hearing this answer, the young people immediately began to jeer and cheer.

The host smiled and said, "It seems that wherever a beauty goes, she is very popular. So, beauty, can you talk about what kind of love you long for?"

Love?

Longing?

Hmm...

Su Kexuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Rather than fantasizing, it is better to work hard to become excellent yourself, and then meet the right person and run toward each other."

"This lady is truly clear-headed; so, do you have a sweetheart?"

"Of course I do."

This answer once again caused jeers and cheers from the scene.

Jiang Motian did not join in the jeering.

She just looked at Jiang Mobai beside her with a smile and murmured, "A sweetheart, huh..."

Jiang Mobai could not smile.

He was very worried that Su Kexuan really did have a sweetheart.

But on second thought, he felt it was unlikely.

This woman was not so easily moved.

Then this sweetheart... could it be his former self?

This hypothesis that popped into his mind made Jiang Mobai feel that he was shameless.

Fortunately, Jiang Motian's attention had already shifted to Su Kexuan, and she did not notice his slightly reddening complexion.

The host continued to interact with Su Kexuan: "I wonder, is this lucky person here at the scene?"

"I'm not sure, but I have the bouquet, and it will surely bring my sweetheart to me."

Su Kexuan's answer was very official.

After saying this, she looked at Wei Yangyang and smiled, "Thank you, for bringing me luck."

As her voice fell, she took the initiative to hug Wei Yangyang.

Afterward, Su Kexuan bowed to the crowd again and walked gracefully off the stage.

Actually, the host wanted to chat a bit more.

But he did not expect Su Kexuan to have already arranged the subsequent flow herself.

And it was not abrupt at all.

There was no help for it; the host could only say some polite closing remarks and end this segment.

Jiang Motian watched with amusement, "I bet Kexuan must have already had it planned; otherwise, she could have finished the whole process herself without the host even needing to speak."

After saying this, Jiang Motian did not wait for a response.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look, only to see Jiang Mobai with his head slightly lowered.

And the expression on his face was one moment gentle, the next conflicted.

It was obvious that Jiang Mobai was letting his imagination run wild.

As for the content of his thoughts...

Jiang Motian gave a light cough, and after getting Jiang Mobai's attention, she said, "Someone, don't go daydreaming in broad daylight."

"Who is daydreaming? I am not, don't talk nonsense!"

Jiang Mobai's denial had no persuasive power at all.

His complexion instead turned redder bit by bit under Jiang Motian's gaze.

Alright, Jiang Mobai had indeed been letting his imagination run wild just now.

He was pondering that the bouquet could be considered as having been delivered to Su Kexuan's hands by him.

So this could also be considered a kind of predestined fate, hinting that the two of them would continue to be entangled...

Such a train of thought was too wonderful.

Jiang Mobai became lost in his thoughts without even realizing it.

It is a good thing he has sobered up now.

However, as he glanced toward Jiang Motian...

He discovered that Jiang Motian was also looking at him.

Moreover, a smile was playing on the corners of her lips, and she said, "How come I never noticed before that you love to blush so much?"

"Did I blush? Oh, it's just too hot in here."

Jiang Mobai was pretending to be calm.

Could Jiang Motian not see through that?

But she did not expose him either; she simply lifted her chin and said, "Then go over there and sit for a while to rest; you've been standing for half the day too."

Jiang Mobai indeed needed to rest.

And to calm down while he was at it.

But before resting, he still cockily ran over to Su Kexuan to make his presence known.

His behavior was childish yet carried a hint of pride.

It was very much like the state of an adolescent boy when facing his crush.

But Jiang Mobai...

He is a playboy who has long since passed that innocent age...

Jiang Baobao, who had been observing from the shadows, was a bit confused.

Once Jiang Motian walked back, Jiang Baobao leaned in and asked the question at the bottom of her heart: "Why is Mobai acting like a piece of dog-skin plaster today, following Kexuan around constantly?"

Jiang Motian blinked and said, "Ah, I didn't notice."

Didn't notice?

Jiang Baobao narrowed her eyes slightly.

She did not play games with her daughter either, but asked directly: "That look in your eyes—anyone can tell you know something, and you say you didn't notice?"

"I don't!"

"Tell me honestly, Mom, does Mobai... have some sort of infatuation with her?"

She really is a mother with eyes like torches!

But the problem is...

Jiang Motian pursed her lips and said with some difficulty, "For that, you'll have to ask Mobai."

"That kid is like a loach; if I ask him, will he answer honestly?"

"That's simple. You can tie him up and interrogate him strictly; you'll definitely be able to get the information out!"

Jiang Baobao did not speak immediately.

She looked at Jiang Motian scrutinizingly before saying, "Or, I could tie you up, and I'm sure I could get something out of you too."

Jiang Motian never expected that this would also bring fire upon herself!

To clear her name, Jiang Motian held her mother's arm and began to play the victim: "Mom, how can you be so heartless!"

"Sigh, I'm just afraid that Mobai won't change his..."

Jiang Baobao suddenly felt that the phrasing was too unrefined, so she immediately changed her words:

"What if he still has too much of a playful heart? Kexuan has been getting along very well with you two sisters lately; don't let the few of you grow distant because of Mobai."

"Then you are overestimating Mobai. Don't worry, Kexuan's heart is firm; she isn't someone Mobai can easily sway."

Jiang Motian spoke the truth.

But it was precisely this truth that made Jiang Baobao raise an eyebrow: "So, Mobai does have some interest in her after all."

Jiang Baobao finally obtained the answer she wanted.

And this answer made Jiang Motian silently cry out that it was bad.

She had clearly wanted to clear her own name.

But look how that turned out...

Rolling her eyes, Jiang Motian emphasized to Jiang Baobao, "Mom, I didn't say anything!"

"Mm, it was Mom who deduced it, don't worry."

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
