Chapter 2207: It's Great, She Doesn't Plan to Leave
Jiang Mobai felt very embarrassed.
He still wanted to decline.
But the old gardener insisted that Jiang Mobai take them.
He said: "It has been a long time since a young person like you patiently listened to an old man like me ramble on; I am very happy today too! Besides, your legs have recovered, which is a good thing; consider these my congratulations to you!"
The old gardener's enthusiasm made it difficult for Jiang Mobai to refuse again.
But he had already decided to give the old man a return gift in two days.
As for the gift, he would buy some semi-automated machinery.
Placing it in the flower field would reduce the old man's workload!
Jiang Mobai had good intentions.
On the way back, he was still using his phone to pick out models.
Jiang Baobao was also looking at her phone.
But the difference was that she was looking for recipes.
"Mobai, won't you get tired of eating the same few dishes? How about we try some new dishes today!"
Jiang Baobao had already picked out two good recipes.
She even showed them to Jiang Mobai.
The pictures were very tempting.
But Jiang Mobai said: "How about another day? I see you are tired today too."
"I am a little tired, but I am happy! If I can cook for you with my own hands, I will be even happier! You are so filial, you surely wouldn't want to make me unhappy, so just let me be as happy as possible!"
Jiang Baobao's various uses of "happy" left Jiang Mobai completely bewildered.
She did not continue to discuss the recipes with Jiang Mobai.
Feeling they were good, she moved her fingers to save them, preparing to show off her culinary skills in a moment!
Seeing that his mother had no intention of listening to him at all, Jiang Mobai sighed softly and did not waste any more breath.
Once they arrived home, the two of them rested briefly and then each got busy.
Jiang Mobai planted the flowers and plants he had brought back into pots.
This time he had learned his lesson and dared not water them randomly anymore.
He also did not place the plants in direct sunlight.
Instead, he lined them up in a long row against the balcony wall.
In the kitchen, Jiang Baobao put on an apron and prepared the ingredients.
Before long, the aroma of food gradually drifted out.
The apartment was quiet and tranquil.
And filled with the atmosphere of home...
Su Kexuan returned to the apartment after work; before she even entered, she smelled a delicious scent at the door.
Is the housekeeper cooking a big meal?
It really makes one's mouth water.
It feels like I can eat an extra bowl of rice in a moment!
The famished Su Kexuan entered the password and opened the door.
However, she did not see the housekeeper.
Instead, she saw Jiang Baobao waving a spatula in front of the stove.
"Auntie is here."
The sound of stir-frying was too loud, and Jiang Baobao had not noticed the movement behind her.
It was not until Su Kexuan walked to her side and greeted her that she noticed her.
A smile appeared on Jiang Baobao's face as she said: "Yes, there is a happy event today, so I am cooking myself to make some things Mobai likes to eat!"
"What happy event?"
"His legs have regained sensation!"
The good news came too suddenly.
Su Kexuan was stunned at first, then curled her lips, her eyes sparkling with joy.
She looked around.
Only then did she find Jiang Mobai on the balcony.
This guy didn't know where he got so many little flower seedlings.
The seedlings were delicate and soft.
Yet they were full of vitality.
However, the man who gave them vitality was leaning on a lounge chair, asleep.
Jiang Mobai had been running around all day today.
He was truly tired.
After finishing with the flowers and plants, he wanted to rest for a while.
But he didn't expect that once he rested, his eyelids would become incredibly heavy.
He drifted off into a hazy sleep.
However, he was not sleeping soundly.
In his daze, he felt as if bugs were eating his flowers.
Jiang Mobai was very anxious.
He waved his arms as if shooing away insects.
As a result, there were more and more insects...
Jiang Mobai grew angry and roared, "You are not allowed to eat my flowers!"
He felt his roar was very intimidating.
But in his sleep, he only murmured.
Then he suddenly opened his eyes.
Jiang Mobai subconsciously turned his head to look at the window.
Seeing that the little leaves were all fine and there wasn't a single insect on them, he finally felt relieved.
But immediately after...
Jiang Mobai slowly withdrew his gaze.
He saw Su Kexuan standing with her arms crossed, tilting her head and staring at him.
"Uh, you're off work? You're back very early today."
"I didn't work overtime today, so I came back early. What kind of dream were you having just now? Was someone chasing you?"
"... Something like that."
Jiang Mobai responded vaguely.
The expression on his face was still somewhat unnatural.
Fortunately, Su Kexuan was not particularly interested in his dream.
Seeing that Jiang Mobai did not want to talk about it, she brought up something else: "By the way, congratulations."
Congratulations?
Does she know that his legs have already...
Jiang Mobai lowered his head and looked at his legs.
A sense of unease suddenly crossed his heart.
Thinking that he hadn't introduced his hard work to Su Kexuan yet, Jiang Mobai hurriedly cheered up: "Look, these are the newly planted flowers and plants. Do you like them?"
"I can't say whether I like them or not right now; they are all just small seedlings."
After finishing, Su Kexuan added: "And that dead branch."
"That is not a dead branch; it is alive. When it blooms, it is especially fragrant!"
Jiang Mobai explained, and then became melancholy again.
Sighing deeply, Jiang Mobai murmured: "I don't know if you will still be able to see it bloom."
"What are you doing, cursing me?"
"Hey, why are you misunderstanding my meaning again? Of course not!"
"Then what do you mean?"
"I was thinking... once I recover, are you going to move out?"
Jiang Mobai did not want Su Kexuan to leave.
But compared to her finishing her mission and leaving without saying goodbye, he would rather Su Kexuan give him a deadline!
However, Su Kexuan did not answer Jiang Mobai.
She narrowed her eyes.
She crossed her arms.
Her lips were also tightly pursed.
This familiar little gesture...
Jiang Mobai gulped.
Under his anxious gaze, Su Kexuan finally spoke: "Do you want me to leave that much?"
Ah, as expected...
Su Kexuan is twisting someone else's meaning again!
Jiang Mobai wanted to cry but had no tears.
And all he could do was firmly deny it: "I don't!"
"But why do I feel like you do! You've only just shown some improvement, and you already want to drive me away. You really don't welcome me!"
"How could I not welcome you? I don't have enough time to like you!"
In his haste, Jiang Mobai blurted out the words buried at the bottom of his heart.
Instantly, the room went quiet.
Jiang Mobai stood there stiffly.
Inside, he was muttering to himself: Don't blow up, don't blow up, don't blow up...
The muttering was still effective.
Su Kexuan just glared at Jiang Mobai coldly, then turned and went to the kitchen to see if she could help with anything.
Once she left, Jiang Mobai immediately closed his eyes and let out a long breath.
Afterward...
The corners of his mouth gradually curled up.
Judging by Su Kexuan's meaning, she didn't intend to leave!
Because of this discovery, Jiang Mobai was secretly overjoyed.
He turned his head toward the direction of the kitchen and took a secret peek.
Su Kexuan was standing beside Jiang Baobao, helping out.
They got along harmoniously and worked together with a tacit understanding.
The warm, homey atmosphere gradually blurred Jiang Mobai's eyes.
He also felt an unprecedented sense of peace...
"Mobai, why are you just standing there like a fool? Come over and peel the garlic!"
Jiang Baobao's expression turned somewhat ugly in an instant.
