Chapter 2179: A Rather Unreliable Reason

Yet Jiang Mobai was still unaware of it.

He rested his arm on the car door, trying hard to maintain his dashing appearance.

Hmm...

Su Kexuan really wanted to laugh.

Fortunately, she suppressed her amusement and handed Jiang Mobai a tissue.

Jiang Mobai was confused.

Su Kexuan tapped his cheek and gestured for him to look in the mirror.

When Jiang Mobai saw his own appearance in the rearview mirror...

His face turned red instantly!

He took the tissue and hurriedly wiped his cheek.

But no matter how he wiped, some traces remained.

Helpless, Jiang Mobai had to turn around, facing Su Kexuan with the other side of his face, and chatted as if nothing had happened: "Why did you finish your talk so quickly?"

Su Kexuan did not mention Sui Xin's mother, only saying: "Because everything went smoothly, but things don't seem to be going very smoothly on your end; it actually took this long to change a tire."

"I... I'm having trouble with my leg, so squatting and standing up still hurts a bit."

"I see."

Su Kexuan did not continue to ask.

Seeing this, Jiang Mobai quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately after, he noticed that Su Kexuan had no intention of leaving, and her beautiful eyes were still scanning the street.

In this state, she seemed to be waiting for someone.

Jiang Mobai thought for a moment and asked: "Has the person coming to pick you up not arrived yet?"

"... Hmm."

"Then that's perfect, take my car back."

Su Kexuan was resistant to this suggestion.

But she had already sat in it once, so what was one more time?

Besides, it was just catching a ride; it didn't mean anything, nor could it change anything.

Su Kexuan didn't struggle for long before making a decision: "Alright, sorry for the trouble."

"Hey, why are you being so polite with me!"

Jiang Mobai hadn't expected Su Kexuan to agree so quickly, and he felt a surge of secret joy.

He even acted like a gentleman and opened the car door for Su Kexuan.

Su Kexuan didn't act coy either; she leaned over and sat inside.

Since she had found a way to get back, Su Kexuan called her assistant to let them know.

Who knew the assistant would say very seriously: "Tell me the other party's license plate number."

"Why?"

"You are a woman, getting into a stranger's car outside is very dangerous!"

The assistant's concern was correct.

Being careful was never wrong.

But the problem was... Jiang Mobai wasn't a stranger.

Su Kexuan glanced at Jiang Mobai and then said calmly: "With my skills, I won't let myself be taken advantage of."

"Still, caution is best."

"But..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely get your boss back safely!"

Before Su Kexuan could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Jiang Mobai's loud voice.

His actions made Su Kexuan feel very awkward.

It felt like being caught red-handed while bad-mouthing someone behind their back.

The assistant was surprised and muttered: "This voice... it sounds familiar."

"It's Jiang Mobai."

"Eh?"

"I ran into him, and he's just giving me a ride on his way."

On his way?

This reason made the assistant feel that the boss wasn't even looking for a plausible excuse to brush them off.

Su Kexuan also realized she had come up with a terrible excuse.

Feeling restless, she frowned and said: "Alright, that's all for now!"

As the words fell, Su Kexuan hung up the phone.

The air became quiet as well.

But both young people felt a bit uncomfortable.

To ease the awkwardness, Su Kexuan turned her head to look out the car window.

But just by looking...

"You're going the wrong way."

Jiang Mobai said with certainty: "Impossible, I'm following the navigation."

"You definitely went the wrong way!"

Su Kexuan had traveled this road many times, and she was certain that Jiang Mobai should have turned at the intersection just now.

Yet at this moment, he had driven straight onto the bridge.

Jiang Mobai was still stubbornly refusing to admit his mistake, and he still wanted to argue with Su Kexuan.

But just at this moment, he heard a mechanical voice: "You have deviated from the route; recalculating the route."

Uh...

Jiang Mobai had been slapped in the face.

He gripped the steering wheel and gave an awkward laugh.

Afterward, he glanced at the map and muttered to himself, "Where is this place ahead..."

Su Kexuan knew the answer to that question.

She raised a hand to support her forehead and sighed, "We have already gotten onto the highway bridge."

Ah!?

Jiang Mobai was shocked at first, then fell silent.

Finally, he said apologetically, "Once we get off the highway bridge, I will turn back immediately. Um, you should close your eyes and rest for a while first."

Su Kexuan did indeed need to rest.

She felt her temples aching so much!

If she had known the result would be like this...

She really would have been better off standing where she was and waiting for her assistant.

Sigh!

Su Kexuan let out a soft sigh and began to close her eyes to rest.

After a short while of quiet, she heard Jiang Mobai say, "I have some biscuits here; if you're hungry, you can eat some."

"I'm not hungry."

No sooner had Su Kexuan finished speaking than she heard her stomach let out a "rumble."

At this very moment, Su Kexuan only hoped that Jiang Mobai hadn't heard it.

However...

"Eat a little; if you ruin your stomach, it's especially miserable. I'm a cautionary tale."

Jiang Mobai's words shattered Su Kexuan's fantasy.

She opened her eyes, feeling rather uncomfortable.

Then she saw Jiang Mobai take out a pack of biscuits and a bottle of water from somewhere.

Looking at the outer packaging, it appeared to be a pack of chocolate biscuits.

It was the flavor Su Kexuan liked.

After hesitating for a moment, Su Kexuan still said thank you and took the biscuits.

Jiang Mobai continued to drive.

But he kept an eye on Su Kexuan's movements.

Seeing her finish two packs of biscuits before stopping to drink water, he knew that this stuff was quite to her taste.

This discovery made Jiang Mobai feel satisfied.

He even said, "These biscuits were bought by Momo; she said her classmates all eat these, and they've been very popular lately."

"They are indeed quite good."

"If you like them, take the rest back to eat."

"No need."

"Hey, you don't have to be polite. After all, it's my fault you had to travel so far; just consider it an apology."

The more Jiang Mobai spoke, the more guilty he felt.

He thought, who uses two packs of biscuits to apologize?

It lacked sincerity.

Su Kexuan might get angry!

Thinking of this, Jiang Mobai snuck a glance at Su Kexuan.

She wasn't angry, but she hadn't put the remaining biscuits into her bag either.

Sensing that Jiang Mobai was looking at her, Su Kexuan spoke lightly: "Momo has good taste."

"Heh, that girl, she's very well-researched when it comes to food."

"Not just that, doesn't she also love to read?"

"That's true; Momo's taste in books has changed recently. Every now and then she'll pull out a famous quote, some of which I don't even really understand."

Jiang Mobai's straightforward description made Su Kexuan smile slightly.

However, that smile quickly disappeared, and Su Kexuan said very politely, "The Li Family is full of talented people."

"Does that include me?"

Jiang Mobai didn't stand on ceremony and asked the question right away.

But the next instant, he regretted it.

Jiang Mobai said remorsefully, "That was abrupt."

Su Kexuan pursed her lips and didn't speak again.

She turned her head and continued to close her eyes to rest.

In the quiet, Su Kexuan heard Jiang Mobai let out a sigh...
