Chapter 2176: Given an Opportunity but Failing to Cherish It

In truth, Jiang Mobai really wanted to ask if Su Kexuan would also worry about him.

But in the end, he did not say it out loud.

Because he knew what the answer was.

To insist on asking would only be asking for humiliation.

Jiang Mobai fell silent.

And his silence made Qingkong, in front of the computer, very anxious.

He had intended to create a small opportunity for the two of them.

Who would have thought that Jiang Mobai simply didn't know how to cherish it.

To think that at such an important moment, he remained silent.

Sigh, does he not know that Su Kexuan could walk away at any moment!

Forget it, forget it, let me help him one more time!

Qingkong sighed softly.

Then, holding the USB drive with the copied photos, he walked up to the two of them and said to Jiang Mobai, "The photos are all here."

"Many thanks."

"Hey, I do you a favor, and a 'thank you' is all it takes to call it a day?"

Qingkong's words left Jiang Mobai puzzled.

He looked at Qingkong and asked, "Then... how do you need me to thank you?"

"Whatever you do, you have to treat me to a meal."

"No problem, you pick the place."

"The place or whatever is fine, the main thing is I have to keep an eye on you; I can't let you drink alcohol."

Jiang Mobai still wanted to maintain his image in front of Su Kexuan.

Yet he didn't expect Qingkong to stab him in the back the moment he opened his mouth.

This made Jiang Mobai frown, and he said righteously, "I have already quit drinking!"

Qingkong wore a look of disbelief, curled his lip, and said, "Oh my, talk is cheap; you have to look at actions."

Actions?

Provoked by Qingkong, Jiang Mobai opened his mouth and made a suggestion: "Then let's go eat a meal right now, and you can see if I've really quit drinking!"

"Let's go then!"

After saying this, Qingkong looked at Su Kexuan.

Su Kexuan guessed what scheme Qingkong was plotting.

To avoid this guy hitting her in the face with his abacus beads, she spoke first: "You two chat slowly, I'm leaving first."

Qingkong grew anxious: "It's already time to eat, let's eat something together!"

"No need, I'm not hungry."

"Hey, even if you're not hungry, you still have to eat, otherwise Jiang Mobai is a cautionary tale!"

Qingkong shouted at the top of his lungs.

Every word and syllable was filled with concern.

Unfortunately, Su Kexuan still stepped away from the two of them.

She walked faster and faster.

When her figure disappeared from view, Qingkong let out a heavy breath.

Then, he said to Jiang Mobai, "You, you don't know how to cherish an opportunity either."

Jiang Mobai squeezed his palm, his expression indifferent: "It's already a dead end, where would an opportunity come from."

"But in my view, as long as there is feeling in the heart, there is no hurdle that cannot be crossed."

"You're wrong, there are plenty of helpless situations in this world."

When Jiang Mobai said this, his face looked world-weary.

Such an emotion, paired with his gaunt face...

Qingkong couldn't help but sigh.

Recalling when he first met Jiang Mobai, this kid was carefree, unrestrained, and flamboyant.

Now that he has things on his mind, the whole person has become decadent.

In the end, Qingkong didn't say anything else, only urging: "Get your health back first; you look so skinny, it's like a gust of wind could blow you away."

"Mm, then let's go."

"Let's go?"

Seeing Qingkong's confusion, Jiang Mobai reminded him: "Aren't we eating together?"

"Why would I eat with you? Just now, I was creating an opportunity for you and Su Kexuan!"

After finishing, Qingkong muttered again: "But this opportunity, neither of you cares for it; only I am worrying in vain, sigh!"

Qingkong grumbled on and on, then closed the door to send his guest off.

Jiang Mobai knew that it was true that Qingkong liked gossip, and his concern for him was also true.

But this time, Qingkong's concern was destined to have no result...

Jiang Mobai sighed lightly, turned around, and walked downstairs.

However, what Jiang Mobai didn't expect was that Su Kexuan hadn't left yet.

At this moment, she was standing in front of a black car.

The car's hood was open, and she was leaning forward, head bowed, checking it.

"Is the car broken?"

Hearing Jiang Mobai's voice, Su Kexuan tightened her fingers, then said without turning her head, "Yes, the car won't start."

"Where do you want to go? Let me take you."

"No need, this car has some old issues; I'll just tinker with it and it'll be fine."

As she spoke, Su Kexuan made a show of going to get the toolbox.

However, when she circled back, she found Jiang Mobai attempting to start the car.

The car showed no reaction at all.

Afterwards, Jiang Mobai walked around to the front of the car and fiddled with two parts with his fingers.

Seeing Su Kexuan lean in, he said, "This isn't the car you usually drive."

"Yes, the one I usually drive was sent for maintenance. I was in a hurry to go out today, so I took this one."

"The car is getting on in years, isn't it?"

"Yes."

After Su Kexuan finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that Jiang Mobai was a race car driver; although he didn't have to fix cars himself, he spent his days immersed in that environment and must be very familiar with the structure of car parts.

Perhaps he had already discovered where the problem lay.

Realizing this, Su Kexuan asked, "Did you find where the problem is?"

Jiang Mobai nodded and said, "The starter is malfunctioning and cannot drive the engine flywheel to rotate."

"Can it be fixed?"

"It can be fixed, but it needs to be sent to a repair shop to replace it with a new part."

Upon hearing this, Su Kexuan frowned slightly.

She no longer insisted on fixing the car, but instead took out her phone and called her assistant.

From the content of her conversation with the assistant, it was clear that Su Kexuan still had to go somewhere shortly.

And she was in quite a hurry.

After Su Kexuan hung up the phone, Jiang Mobai volunteered, "Let me take you."

"No need, my assistant will be here soon."

"At this time of day, it's very easy to get stuck in traffic driving over from your company."

"Then I'll take a taxi; in any case, there's no need to trouble you."

Su Kexuan just wanted to draw a clear line between herself and Jiang Mobai.

Jiang Mobai also saw through her intentions.

This made Jiang Mobai feel bitter.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Mobai spoke up anyway: "You just said that we don't need to deliberately avoid suspicion, as it would look very forced."

"……So?"

"Let me take you; it's just a small matter anyway."

"But I'm going to a factory in the suburbs, which takes over two hours round trip. Your time is precious right now, so it shouldn't be wasted."

"It doesn't count as a waste. I haven't returned to the racing team for training in a long time, so I shouldn't suddenly jump into high-intensity training; instead, I need to find the feeling of driving again bit by bit. Driving out to the suburbs is just right for me!"

There was an element of exaggeration in Jiang Mobai's words.

But taking this trip held no downsides for him.

Yet it could help Su Kexuan with a favor that was neither too big nor too small.

Why not do it?

Su Kexuan, however, did not make a sound.

Jiang Mobai saw that she was wavering, and with a turn of his eyes, he simply opened the door of his car and said, "Whether you take a ride or not, I'm going to drive to the suburbs anyway."

Jiang Mobai's method was a bit clumsy and a bit stubborn.

And also a bit... impossible to refuse.

Su Kexuan raised her hand to check the time, and in the end, she got into Jiang Mobai's car.

For Su Kexuan, it wasn't that she absolutely had to take this car.

But...

Avoiding suspicion too much would look very forced.

It was better to just go with the flow.

Su Kexuan convinced herself.
