Chapter 2120: Are You Interested in Him?

Jiang Baobao felt somewhat helpless.

She stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly: "It's just the two of us, mother and daughter, here; why are you still hiding things? Say whatever you want to say; I won't spread it."

Seeing her mother pierce through the window paper, Jiang Motian could no longer continue playing dumb.

She sighed and put down the fruit: "Did you arrange today's meal on purpose?"

"That's right."

"Then what is your goal?"

"Mobai has a glib tongue and wouldn't tell the truth even if asked, so I used my own eyes to observe."

"Then what did you observe?"

Jiang Baobao's expression suddenly became somewhat blank.

After thinking for a while, she said: "The relationship between Mobai and Kexuan is very strange. If you say they are distant, they seem quite close. If you say they are close... the two of them seem to be deliberately avoiding suspicion."

After Jiang Baobao finished speaking, she stroked her chin, pondering why the two of them would want to avoid suspicion.

Meanwhile, Jiang Motian, standing beside her, was about to break into a cold sweat!

If this matter had nothing to do with Jiang Mobai, she would definitely give her mother a thumbs up and praise her for having eyes like torches.

But she knew the inside story.

It wasn't convenient for her to tell her mother the truth yet...

Jiang Motian struggled for a while, but decided not to get involved: "If you want to know the truth, you'd better investigate it yourself."

"Yes... why didn't I investigate it myself?"

Jiang Motian's casual remark reminded Jiang Baobao.

She looked at Jiang Motian with a smile and said: "Good daughter, thanks to your reminder!"

A reminder?

How was this a reminder on her part!

Her mother's praise gave Jiang Motian a headache.

She felt that the possibility of distancing herself was becoming lower and lower...

Rubbing her temples, Jiang Motian gave a perfunctory warning: "You had better not let Mobai know about these things, otherwise he will definitely be angry and feel that you don't respect his privacy."

Jiang Baobao replied: "If the brat has the ability, he should hide his privacy well. If I discover it, it just means his skills are inferior."

Her mother's words were truly willful.

But she had the capital to be willful.

And she had the strength for it, too.

As for Jiang Motian, she was actually quite curious about what secrets her mother could dig up.

But she also felt that having too much curiosity was not a good thing.

Therefore, she did not continue to discuss it with her mother.

Instead, she stood up and said: "The room is a bit stuffy; I'll open the window to get some air."

"I'll do it."

Jiang Baobao was closer to the window, so she walked over first.

However, the moment Jiang Baobao pushed the window open, she froze in her movements.

At the same time, she stared fixedly in a certain direction.

Jiang Motian felt something was strange and walked over.

But just as she was about to get close, she was pulled to the side by Jiang Baobao, who used the wall to block her body.

Afterward, she signaled for Jiang Motian to look at the garden outside the window.

Jiang Motian was left completely confused.

Yet she still looked down at the floor below.

And with that look, she actually saw Su Kexuan and Jiang Mobai.

"Huh, Kexuan hasn't left yet?"

About ten minutes ago, Su Kexuan had gotten up to say goodbye.

Jiang Motian hadn't gone to see her off personally.

She thought Su Kexuan had already driven away.

As it turned out...

She was chatting with Jiang Mobai?

Jiang Motian's curiosity, which had just been suppressed, flooded back again.

At this moment, she wished she could grow a pair of "wind-following ears" to listen carefully.

Jiang Baobao also wanted to hear what the two of them were talking about.

But unlike Jiang Motian, she was a woman of action.

With a roll of her eyes, she turned and walked out the door...

On the other side, Su Kexuan in the garden was a bit impatient.

She had just sent a message to Jiang Mobai, asking him to come down.

As it turned out, Jiang Mobai hadn't seen the message in time.

It took some time for him to come over.

Jiang Mobai explained apologetically: "The computer in Momo's room had some problems, so I went over to help fix it and didn't see my phone in time. Sorry."

"It's okay."

"Then you were looking for me—did you leave something behind that you need me to help you get?"

Su Kexuan shook her head and said, "No, I have something I want to say to you in private."

Something... to say in private?

Jiang Mobai suddenly felt a bit pleased in his heart.

But on the surface, he was dead serious and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"I want to know what you talked about with Qingkong that made him look at you differently."

Jiang Mobai was full of anticipation.

Yet he hadn't expected that what Su Kexuan wanted to talk about had to do with Qingkong.

This result made Jiang Mobai feel disappointed.

Because of the disappointment, the tone of his voice dropped significantly: "Because I have charm, obviously."

After the words fell, Jiang Mobai did not wait for Su Kexuan's response.

Jiang Mobai couldn't help but lift his eyes to look over.

He saw Su Kexuan staring straight at him, seemingly very dissatisfied with the answer he had given.

But Jiang Mobai was even more dissatisfied.

He raised his eyebrows and said unhappily, "What? You don't admit I have charm, but there are people who know quality when they see it, okay!"

Su Kexuan had no time to bicker with him.

She asked directly, "Did you reveal something to Qingkong that made him so interested in the relationship between you and me?"

"I didn't say anything, he discovered for himself that I like..."

Realizing he had almost said the wrong thing, Jiang Mobai stopped quickly.

Then he gave a light cough and changed his words abruptly: "Anyway, whatever he does has nothing to do with me."

While Jiang Mobai was speaking, Su Kexuan had been observing him.

From her observations, Jiang Mobai was very open and honest; it didn't seem like he had instigated Qingkong.

But even so, the cause of the matter must certainly lie with Jiang Mobai.

He was just unaware of it.

It was no longer easy to investigate what the cause was.

Su Kexuan did not intend to investigate it either.

She only gave Jiang Mobai a warning: "Qingkong was discovered by me; don't go talking nonsense and affecting his development and creative work."

This warning made Jiang Mobai very annoyed.

In his heart, a hypothesis was also vaguely forming.

In order to verify this hypothesis, Jiang Mobai opened his mouth to ask, "Why are you defending him so much?"

"Didn't I say it already? He was discovered by me, so I have an obligation to protect him and ensure he isn't harassed."

"Is that all?"

"Then what else do you want?"

Jiang Mobai squeezed his palms.

Then, lowering his eyes, he said in a muffled voice: "This guy Qingkong, he looks uninteresting and dull, but he's quite tall, his looks are alright, and as for his temperament, it's just so-so..."

Su Kexuan couldn't listen anymore.

She interrupted Jiang Mobai's rambling: "Stop, what exactly are you trying to say!?"

"I want to know, do you... do you possibly like Qingkong?"

Huh?

Like Qingkong?

Jiang Mobai's question left Su Kexuan speechless.

It also made her unable to help but roll her eyes.

But it was this small action that made Su Kexuan notice a figure swaying behind a tree not far away.

Su Kexuan immediately scolded in a low voice: "Who's there!"

This sudden shout gave Jiang Mobai a fright.

He turned around half a beat late.

Then he saw two figures slowly walking out from behind the tree.

It was none other than Jiang Baobao and Jiang Motian.

Jiang Mobai asked blankly: "You two..."

"Ah, I ate too much for dinner, so I wanted to come for a walk with Mom. But I didn't expect to happen upon you two talking about such a serious topic, and for a moment, I didn't know whether to walk over or turn back the way we came."
