Chapter 2118: This Person Suddenly Became So Gossipy

~7 min read 1,280 words

The reporter heard this and said with a smile, "You're being so mysterious, I thought there was some big piece of gossip."

"Even if there were gossip, it couldn't be discussed here."

"Heh, that's true."

The two chatted and laughed, the atmosphere quite harmonious.

But the expression on Su Kexuan's face was ice-cold.

She used to think Qingkong was a rather aloof person.

Only today did she discover that he was actually quite the gossip!

When Su Kexuan and Qingkong made eye contact again, she immediately raised an eyebrow at Qingkong, signaling him to behave himself.

Qingkong smiled, then went back to chatting with the reporter about photography.

He didn't mention Jiang Mobai again.

But Su Kexuan's mood did not return to calm.

After finally waiting for the interview to end, Su Kexuan and Qingkong had a chance to be alone.

She hurriedly asked, "How did you and Jiang Mobai meet?"

Qingkong said unhurriedly, "At the Art Gallery, we met by chance, and then we hit it off immediately."

"And then you invited Jiang Mobai to be your model?"

"Yes."

"And he actually agreed?"

"He agreed."

Qingkong answered honestly.

But Su Kexuan narrowed her eyes slightly.

She said, "That's not right! You don't like socializing, and Jiang Mobai is fastidious; you two shouldn't have any intersection. One of you must have had some motive and deliberately approached the other!"

Su Kexuan's judgment was very accurate.

Qingkong did not deny her words either; he only said, "Then can you guess what the purpose of the deliberate approach was?"

"Why would I guess? Tell me the answer!"

"Because Jiang Mobai likes you."

Qingkong was quite straightforward, stating the correct answer directly.

If Jiang Mobai heard this, he would definitely be angered to the point of vomiting blood.

Su Kexuan, however, was stunned.

But she quickly returned to normal and said flatly, "There are many people who like me; my charm is too great, I can't help it."

"Then do you like Jiang Mobai?"

Su Kexuan chuckled, then retorted, "Is he the Renminbi? If not, why should I like him?"

"Well, no one has stipulated that one cannot like a man and the Renminbi at the same time."

As Qingkong spoke, he suddenly thought of something.

He asked again, "If this man is exceptionally good at making money, would you like him very much?"

This question was purposeful.

Su Kexuan sensed something unusual and immediately asked, "Why ask this?"

"If you give me an affirmative answer, I can tell Jiang Mobai."

"What good does that do you?!"

"After Jiang Mobai knows, he will deliberately try to please you, and I think that would be very interesting."

When Qingkong answered the question, he was dead serious.

It was just that his words... gave Su Kexuan a new understanding of Qingkong.

Sure enough, people need to keep their distance from one another.

The current Su Kexuan's filter for Qingkong was completely shattered.

She no longer thought Qingkong was an aloof, tasteful person.

Instead, she considered this person extremely vulgar and boring!

Su Kexuan scolded Qingkong in her heart.

Yet on the surface, she was still able to speak calmly: "You are a photographer; please get rid of your low-brow interests and don't let your taste decline, okay?"

Although Su Kexuan tried her best to remain calm.

Qingkong still sensed her loss of control from her words.

Qingkong said with a smile, "You are my talent scout; caring about your personal affairs is also out of good intentions."

"Then I thank you, but please put away your good intentions. Also, this isn't caring, it's just watching the fun."

As her voice fell, Su Kexuan took a deep breath.

Then she said, "It must be that you are too idle to be concerned with such trivial things. It seems I need to arrange some work for you."

Su Kexuan was about to continue speaking.

But Qingkong interrupted her and even stated the truth: "I didn't expect that even someone as calm as you would have moments of losing your composure."

Su Kexuan immediately laughed out loud.

She retorted, "Where do you see me losing my composure? Haven't we been communicating calmly the whole time?"

Hearing this, Qingkong looked Su Kexuan up and down, then gave a four-character evaluation: "Forced smile."

This guy...

What is he babbling about!

Su Kexuan felt her emotions gradually slipping out of control.

She did not like this at all, so she ordered herself to calm down.

Su Kexuan, however, regained control of her emotions very quickly.

Then, she began her counterattack: "Do you have some dissatisfaction with me?"

"How could that be? I am very grateful for everything you have provided for me."

"Then, please let us keep our distance, and do not interfere with my private life. By the way, about the work, I am not joking; the day after tomorrow, we have to go shoot a model."

This was work that had been arranged beforehand, and Qingkong knew it too.

He shrugged his shoulders and responded: "No problem."

"Because it is a collaboration, we cannot shoot according to your whims; we must follow the other party's requirements."

"Fine."

Qingkong had his own persistence, but he would not be blindly stubborn.

When it was time to compromise, he would not dig in his heels.

And this was also one of the reasons why Su Kexuan appreciated him so much.

In the process of discussing work, Su Kexuan regained the initiative.

She liked this state; it made her feel very secure.

But just at this moment, Su Kexuan's phone rang.

After answering the call, she heard Jiang Baobao's enthusiastic voice: "Kexuan, have you returned from your business trip?"

"Mm, yes, Auntie."

"Didn't we agree before that you would come to the house for a meal? I don't know when you might have time?"

"Uh... that won't be necessary."

"It is necessary, it is necessary! Tell me what you like to eat, and I will prepare it for you!"

"I am not picky."

"Then I will look into the arrangements. As for the time, how about tonight?"

Tonight...

Su Kexuan felt it was too sudden.

But the enthusiasm of an elder was impossible to dodge.

Since that was the case, it was better to be straightforward.

Su Kexuan took a light breath, then curved her lips and said: "Alright, then I will be intruding."

"Not intruding, not intruding! You must come early!"

"Alright."

As the words fell, the two hung up the phone.

Su Kexuan relaxed her shoulders slightly and let out a soft sigh at the same time.

Yet, from the corner of her eye, she noticed that Qingkong was looking at her.

Qingkong was currently holding his arms.

Meeting Su Kexuan's gaze, he smiled and said: "I really should have captured your complex emotions just now; they were very rich!"

Such a teasing remark made Su Kexuan roll her eyes directly.

Afterwards, she warned Qingkong: "Remember the advice I just gave you!"

"Mm, I've remembered it. Can I leave now?"

"You can. I will drive you back."

"No need. I happen to be alone, so I'll wander around this city."

After Qingkong finished speaking, he waved his hand at Su Kexuan and turned to leave in a dashing manner.

Su Kexuan just stood where she was, watching his retreating figure.

Su Kexuan was very curious about what exactly Jiang Mobai had said to Qingkong to make such a cold and detached person suddenly become so gossipy?

Since she was going to the Li Family for a meal in a while...

She could just take the opportunity to ask!

Having made up her mind, Su Kexuan turned and got into her car.
