Chapter 2111: Every Man for Himself

Jiang Baobao knew what her daughter was worried about, so she opened her mouth to dispel her concerns.

And her mother's empathy did indeed make Jiang Motian relax a little.

But at the thought of Jiang Mobai, she couldn't help but feel conflicted again.

Jiang Motian searched for Jiang Mobai's figure.

At this moment, he had already been shooed away by Su Kexuan, and the expression on his face was sheepish.

However, his eyes were lively.

Some kind of emotion was stirring at the bottom of his eyes.

Perhaps because the atmosphere of happiness here was so thick, Jiang Mobai was being particularly indulgent with himself today.

With this indulgence, his secret could no longer be hidden at all.

Jiang Motian glanced at her mother again, then sighed softly.

Mobai, ah...

You're on your own!

After the wedding, Li Xingyan and Wei Yangyang began their honeymoon trip.

Their destination was a quiet little town.

The scenery there was beautiful, far from the hustle and bustle, and there was plenty of delicious food.

If the two of them enjoyed their stay, they would spend their entire honeymoon period there.

If they got tired of staying there, they would follow the second route arranged by Jiang Motian and go to the seaside.

Originally, Wei Yangyang had been very much looking forward to her honeymoon trip.

But as soon as they arrived at their destination, she discovered a problem: they had left one suitcase behind on this trip!

That suitcase was packed with all of Wei Yangyang's daily necessities.

Without them, Wei Yangyang would feel very inconvenienced.

After Li Xingyan learned of this, he immediately called home.

Jiang Motian answered the phone.

She murmured with a look of surprise: "How could it have been left behind? Everyone checked before leaving."

"I don't know, but that's the result. Tomorrow, find some time to mail the suitcase over."

Jiang Motian was just about to agree when she saw her mother walking over.

Jiang Baobao asked: "What's wrong?"

"Brother and the others left a suitcase behind, and he wants me to mail it to him tomorrow."

After Jiang Motian said this truthfully, she prepared herself to hear her mother complain about Li Xingyan's carelessness.

But she didn't expect Jiang Baobao's eyes to shift, and she brought up something else: "I remember you saying that Kexuan is going to another city for a field trip soon, and the destination seems to be exactly where your brother is honeymooning."

"That's right, she leaves tomorrow."

"Isn't that a coincidence! Then let's ask Kexuan to drop it off while she's at it!"

Her mother's suggestion left Jiang Motian a bit dumbfounded.

She had to remind her mother: "That suitcase is quite big; it would be more convenient to just mail it."

"No matter how convenient that is, it will still take a day or two to arrive. With a suitcase missing, the young couple will definitely be inconvenienced, so let's trouble Kexuan!"

Jiang Baobao was not someone who liked to trouble others.

And this favor was not something only Su Kexuan could do.

Then...

Was there some other hidden reason?

Jiang Motian looked at her mother, full of suspicion.

Jiang Baobao, however, had already taken the phone and told Li Xingyan her decision.

After hearing this, Li Xingyan raised an eyebrow: "Let Su Kexuan help?"

"Yes."

"Then we have to be careful that she doesn't ask for a favor in return later!"

"Oh, when people help out, it's only natural to give them something in return. You don't need to worry about that; I'll arrange it!"

Jiang Baobao made the promise generously and hung up the phone.

Then she said to Jiang Motian: "You go communicate with Kexuan and have her come to the house to pick it up before she leaves."

"... Oh."

After responding, Jiang Motian had no intention of leaving.

Seeing this, Jiang Baobao said: "Since it's all settled, don't just stand there like a fool; go get busy."

Jiang Motian still did not leave.

Instead, she called out to her mother and murmured: "I feel like you're acting strange."

"Silly, Mom isn't acting strange; I'm just feeling lighthearted and free!"

Jiang Baobao said this with a smile, then turned and walked away leisurely.

But the strange feeling still hung over Jiang Motian.

However, since her mother had already given an answer, Jiang Motian couldn't press the matter further.

She could only hide her suspicions in her heart and then go to contact Su Kexuan.

Su Kexuan agreed quite readily and arrived at noon the next day.

Because Jiang Motian was very busy and couldn't get away from the Art Studio, the task of receiving Su Kexuan fell to Jiang Baobao.

Upon seeing Su Kexuan, Jiang Baobao was all smiles: "I've really troubled you, coming all this way specially."

"Not at all, it was on my way anyway."

"Does your job require frequent business trips?"

"It's hard to say, but even if I have to travel, it doesn't matter; I'm used to it."

"Oh, it must be hard on you."

Hard on her?

Su Kexuan didn't feel that way.

But Jiang Baobao truly felt sorry for Su Kexuan.

And her sympathy...

Made Su Kexuan feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Just as the two were exchanging pleasantries, a noise suddenly came from upstairs.

Su Kexuan looked up and saw someone yawning as they pushed open a bedroom door.

Jiang Mobai had just woken up from a nap.

He was a little hungry, so he walked out of the room with sleepy eyes, intending to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.

But as he walked downstairs, he felt like there were two people standing not far away.

Rubbing his eyes, he looked over again...

Su Kexuan!?

Jiang Mobai was very surprised.

Immediately, he remembered...

He was currently wearing a cartoon bear loungewear set!

This was a birthday gift Li Moning had given him.

It was fine to wear it casually at home.

But to be seen by Su Kexuan...

That was just too embarrassing!

It was practically damaging to his personal image!!

Jiang Mobai immediately covered himself with his hands, then asked with an awkward expression: "Why, why are you here!?"

Jiang Baobao answered the question for Su Kexuan: "Is that any way to talk? Kexuan came to help deliver something to Xingyan."

Delivering something?

Jiang Mobai didn't know about this.

He didn't care what was being delivered, either.

However, the way Su Kexuan was looking him up and down made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Su Kexuan had never seen Jiang Mobai wear such cartoonish clothes before.

Seeing him like this today...

It really didn't suit him.

It was very jarring.

What a pity for such cute clothes!

Su Kexuan curled her lips into a smile, then shifted her gaze and said to Jiang Baobao: "Hand the box to me."

Jiang Baobao immediately had a servant bring the box over.

Then she invited Su Kexuan: "It's just noon, stay for lunch."

Jiang Mobai was a bundle of contradictions at this moment.

He didn't want Su Kexuan to see him in this outfit.

But once he heard his mother's words, he expressed his agreement: "Exactly, you helped out, so it's only right that you stay for a meal."

Facing the enthusiastic invitation from the mother and son, Su Kexuan said: "No need, I already have plans with someone else."

Someone else?

Jiang Mobai couldn't help but ask: "Who? A work partner?"

"It's the photographer for the exhibition I'm organizing recently; I plan to meet with him before I go on my business trip."

Jiang Baobao thought of something and asked: "Is it that photographer who has been very popular lately, named... Qingkong?"

"Yes, that's him."

"I've seen his exhibition too. I heard you were the one who discovered him; you really have a good eye!"

"Not at all, it's a mutual collaboration," Su Kexuan checked the time and smiled, "Well then, I won't disturb you any further."
