Chapter 2145: Everything Is Possible

~7 min read 1,281 words

Qingkong did not continue speaking.

He looked up at the sky, putting on a sorrowful expression.

Jiang Mobai's brows were already furrowed.

He felt the reason this guy gave was too ridiculous.

However...

He was unable to refute it.

Frowning in deep thought for a moment, Jiang Mobai asked in return, "Su Kexuan and I have no feelings for each other; what is the point of paving a flowery path?"

"Not so, not so!"

Qingkong shook his finger, feigning profoundness.

Then he said, "I saw it long ago; it is not that Su Kexuan has no feelings for you. Precisely because of that, I thought of using a crisis to leave her hidden feelings with nowhere to hide!"

Jiang Mobai's reason told him not to believe Qingkong's nonsense.

But his emotions were crazily confusing him, telling him that anything is possible...

In the end, cracks appeared in the hard shell of his reason.

Jiang Mobai raised an eyebrow and asked, pretending to be serious, "Is that really so?"

"Naturally, it is true!"

"Fine, even if what you say is true, you should have given me the bottom line so I could have a target to aim at!"

If he could have known the truth in advance, Jiang Mobai would certainly have put his energy into cultivating their relationship.

Instead of flying around like a headless fly.

Qingkong, however, had his own explanation: "If you had known the truth in advance, your performance would definitely have been very unnatural, and that would have aroused Su Kexuan's suspicion."

"I could have acted carefully and not been discovered."

"No matter how careful you are, it is easy to have one slip-up! Once you reveal a single flaw, it won't be cultivating a relationship, but rather making the rift between the two of you even larger!"

After Qingkong finished speaking earnestly, he sighed again.

Then he concluded: "When we should take risks, we should be bold. But when we should be conservative, we must act carefully."

Qingkong's well-intentioned advice still had some effect.

Jiang Mobai was no longer stubborn.

But in his heart, he still felt very regretful: "I missed a very good opportunity."

"Not really; although there was no substantial progress in the relationship between you two, the estrangement is fading, and it will be much easier for you to curry favor with Su Kexuan later on."

Qingkong's words successfully pacified Jiang Mobai.

His tense emotions were also gradually relaxing.

But he did not completely relax.

Jiang Mobai thought of a new question: "In a while, Kexuan will definitely ask you why you hid the evidence; how will you answer?"

"I'll just say I didn't expect that I had recorded it, and only discovered it recently."

"Will Kexuan believe it?"

"Whether she believes it or not has nothing to do with you; anyway, she is the one suspecting me."

As Qingkong spoke, he thought of something else.

He said with a face full of interest: "If she becomes suspicious, it will actually be to your advantage!"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure! Think about it: you and she were both deceived, so you are on a unified front; naturally, you will communicate and exchange information! In this way, won't there be more opportunities to spend time together?"

Jiang Mobai suddenly realized.

Immediately, he was about to praise Qingkong a couple of times.

But the moment he met Qingkong's eyes, he discovered a different kind of gleam in this guy's eyes.

Hmm...

Jiang Mobai no longer intended to praise Qingkong; instead, he pursed his lips and scrutinized him suspiciously.

Seeing this, Qingkong leaned back involuntarily and asked, "What kind of look is that?"

"I feel like you aren't very normal."

"Huh?"

"A normal person wouldn't bet their own career for the sake of gossip. But you... you're practically like a lunatic!"

Qingkong, however, did not agree with Jiang Mobai's words.

He shook his finger again: "Wrong, I didn't bet my career. The truth will come to light sooner or later, and when that time comes, my fame will increase rather than decrease!"

"What if there's a slip-up?"

"With the combination of you and Su Kexuan, how could there be a slip-up?"

These two, one has ability, the other has a background.

If they couldn't even resolve a small disturbance, then Qingkong would perform a stewing-himself-in-an-iron-pot show in public!

But Jiang Mobai continued to look at Qingkong with a strange gaze.

This suddenly made Qingkong feel a sense of powerlessness.

He simply started saying the opposite: "I see you can't handle Su Kexuan; why don't you go back to being your playboy self."

"No!"

"Actually, being a playboy is quite good; you can play around in the world."

"It's not good at all; only when one cannot obtain someone's true heart does one indulge oneself!"

Jiang Mobai accidentally revealed his true heart.

After hearing this, Qingkong narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully, "As expected, the reason you linger among flowers is because of Su Kexuan."

Hearing this speculation made Jiang Mobai's heart tighten.

But he did not show it on his face; instead, he asked provocatively, "Since you are so good at guessing, do you want to guess again why Su Kexuan avoids me like the plague?"

"Because you two 'accidentally' had a relationship."

Qingkong's words left Jiang Mobai completely dumbfounded!

He could not even speak clearly: "You... I... it's not..."

"Hey, calm down first, then speak."

Jiang Mobai could not calm down.

He hurriedly looked left and right, and seeing no one, he gritted his teeth and warned Qingkong: "Since you are so good at guessing, it would be very easy for me to silence you!"

"Rest assured, you can't bear to; you still need me to be your relationship strategist!"

I'm afraid being a strategist is fake, and looking for amusement is the truth!

Jiang Mobai did not say what he was thinking.

Because it would be useless to say it; Qingkong would instead find a reasonable excuse to negate Jiang Mobai.

And incidentally accuse Jiang Mobai of not knowing how to appreciate his good intentions!

Jiang Mobai knew this routine all too well!

But there was one point Jiang Mobai did not quite understand.

He asked: "How did you make these speculations?"

"Analyzed from your words."

"This can be analyzed too?"

"Of course it can, and I can analyze other things right now!"

Qingkong reached out a hand, about to start counting on his fingers.

Jiang Mobai hurriedly pressed it down.

Then he said with an irritable face: "Alright, I don't want to hear your analysis! Also, you remember this: if you dare to leak the secret, you are dead!"

"Why would I make things difficult for myself? Rest assured."

As Qingkong said this, he was about to pat Jiang Mobai on the shoulder.

Yet Jiang Mobai could not rest assured.

He lowered his shoulder and dodged Qingkong's hand.

Qingkong did not mind, but instead became concerned about the reason why Jiang Mobai and Su Kexuan went their separate ways.

Mentioning the reason...

Jiang Mobai heaved a heavy sigh.

Then he said: "Actually, I don't know why either. Originally, after that incident happened, I wanted to take responsibility for Kexuan, but her attitude toward me... suddenly changed, and she even said she didn't care for my responsibility."

"So you went off to play around in the world in a fit of anger?"

"Mm."

"Oh my, that really is childish."

Jiang Mobai's lips moved, wanting to defend himself with a few words.

But after thinking about it...

He smiled bitterly: "You're right, I am indeed very childish."

After speaking, he sighed melancholically.

That appearance actually had a hint of tragic heroism to it.
