Chapter 2208: You Are Actually Cooking a Private Meal

Jiang Baobao's call brought Jiang Mobai back to his senses instantly.

He said "Oh," and went over to help.

The apartment's kitchen is very large.

With three people busy together, it didn't feel crowded at all.

Yet in Jiang Mobai's heart, it was completely full.

He truly wished he could spend every day like this...

The grand meal was prepared and brought to the table.

Jiang Baobao used fruit to make juice, replacing alcohol, and poured a glass for everyone.

However, just as the three of them raised their glasses to celebrate, a knock at the door was heard.

Knock, knock, knock—

"I'll go open the door."

As Su Kexuan spoke, she stood up and walked toward the entrance.

Jiang Baobao used her eyes to signal Jiang Mobai, letting him know to be sharp in a moment and pick food for Su Kexuan or something similar.

Jiang Mobai understood perfectly.

But he felt a bit embarrassed.

The way he lowered his head even showed a hint of shyness.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Baobao really wished she could pat him on the head twice!

When he should be taking the initiative, what was he being shy for!

Just as Jiang Baobao found it increasingly hard to control the urge to pat his head, a familiar voice came from the doorway.

"Ah, you guys are actually cooking a private meal here!!"

Jiang Motian was worried that Jiang Mobai wasn't eating well, so she specifically bought some braised duck products to bring over.

These things are super appetizing.

Every time, she couldn't stop eating them.

As a result, what did she see?

A table full of delicacies!

And they were made by Mom herself!

Instantly, she felt the duck products she was carrying in her hand weren't even fragrant anymore!

Su Kexuan welcomed Jiang Motian into the room and said with a smile, "You came at the right time; it just so happens that Auntie cooked in person today, and you ran right into it."

Jiang Baobao also said, "It was all a last-minute arrangement; I just made a few simple dishes."

This is considered simple?

Jiang Motian looked at the braised pork ribs, blanched shrimp, and steamed fish on the dining table...

She swallowed her saliva and then demanded, "I want to mooch a meal!"

"Since you're here, of course we'll eat together; let's all celebrate for Mobai!"

"Celebrate? Celebrate what?"

Jiang Motian looked at Jiang Mobai in confusion.

Jiang Mobai explained, "Actually, it's no big deal; it's just that my right leg suddenly regained sensation today."

"Ah, this is nothing? How did it recover? Did some miracle happen!?"

At this moment, Jiang Motian had no heart to care about any grand meal.

She widened her eyes, feeling happy for Jiang Mobai from the bottom of her heart.

But if one were to ask why...

Jiang Mobai touched his chin and recalled, "There were no signs; I was just in a hurry at the time, and I could stand very steadily even after dropping my cane."

"Is that so... Sigh, if I had known, I would have thrown you into a tiger enclosure; I bet you wouldn't even need electric shock therapy, and all your illnesses would be gone instantly!"

"All illnesses gone? It would be more like not even a bone fragment would be left!"

Seeing that both children were speaking without any taboos, Jiang Baobao frowned: "Chat properly; no saying unlucky things."

One still had to listen to a mother's teachings.

Jiang Motian and Jiang Mobai stopped bickering.

Their chopsticks started moving non-stop.

Mmm, it's too delicious!

Jiang Motian sighed at the deliciousness of the food and added, "I thought Mobai was living through some deep-water and scorching-fire days, but it turns out..."

She looked at Su Kexuan, then at her mother, and shook her head, saying, "So the clown was actually me!"

"What clown? Don't you love eating shrimp? Eat up."

As Jiang Baobao said this, she picked up a large shrimp for Jiang Motian.

Afterward, she picked one up for Jiang Mobai as well.

However, she wasn't letting Jiang Mobai eat it himself.

Her leg under the table nudged Jiang Mobai.

When Jiang Mobai looked over, Jiang Baobao glanced at Su Kexuan with her eyes.

She was signaling Jiang Mobai to peel the shrimp for that young lady.

Jiang Mobai understood perfectly, lowered his eyes, and began to work.

As a result...

"Kexuan, you eat; it's been hard on you living with Mobai!"

A peeled shrimp was placed into Su Kexuan's bowl.

Su Kexuan smiled at Jiang Motian and said, "It's no trouble at all; in fact, since coming here, I haven't had to worry about three meals a day."

"Come to think of it, the lady who cooks for Mobai is very good at nutritional balance and even has a certificate. To get Mobai to eat well, my family went to great lengths. But the one who is truly useful is you."

Jiang Motian felt a wave of emotion, speaking nothing but the truth.

But her truthfulness made Jiang Baobao cover her forehead.

It also made Jiang Mobai feel aggrieved.

Only Su Kexuan had no reaction.

Wiping her fingers clean with a paper napkin, Jiang Motian raised her juice glass and proposed with great vigor: "Let us have a toast to Mobai's bright future!"

Everyone raised their glasses one after another.

But Jiang Mobai, the protagonist of the occasion, could not bring himself to be happy.

He sighed and spoke his true thoughts: "Tiantian, you are a bit... blocking my light."

"Huh?"

Jiang Motian did not understand what that meant.

Su Kexuan, however, understood.

She narrowed her eyes, her voice somewhat cold: "Everyone is here to celebrate you, so why are you pulling a long face? Do you think our presence is redundant?"

Seeing Su Kexuan's small gesture, alarm bells rang in Jiang Mobai's heart!

He quickly straightened his back, picked up his glass, and put on a standard smile: "Not at all, I'm very happy!"

To demonstrate his "happiness," Jiang Mobai even turned his smiling face left and right, showing it off from every angle.

Afterward, he took the initiative to clink glasses with the other three.

He finished his drink first as a sign of respect!

This attitude was truly beyond reproach.

It was just... the contrast between before and after was too great!

Jiang Motian was shocked.

She looked at Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao signaled for her not to get involved and to continue eating.

Fine, then she would continue eating.

Anyway, Jiang Motian wasn't full yet.

While eating, Jiang Motian silently observed Jiang Mobai and Su Kexuan.

The more she observed, the more confused she became.

She felt...

Su Kexuan was so fierce toward Jiang Mobai.

Jiang Mobai, who was being treated fiercely, did not feel any discomfort at all.

Instead, he became proactive in taking care of everyone.

Jiang Motian's glass alone was refilled with juice by Jiang Mobai three times.

Hmm...

It was truly bizarre!

After the meal, Jiang Baobao and Jiang Motian were going home together.

As soon as the mother and daughter stepped out of the apartment, Jiang Motian couldn't wait to talk to her mother: "They are so strange! Mom, do you think it's possible that Kexuan beat Mobai up, and that's why he's so obedient?"

"Don't worry about it; after all, one is willing to hit, and the other is willing to be hit."

"So she did beat him up?"

Jiang Baobao sighed: "Must you always jump to physical violence?"

"But... I can't think of anything else."

"Sigh, your little head is usually quite smart, so why can't you figure it out today?"

Jiang Baobao shook her head.

Jiang Motian frowned and thought hard.

After a while, her brow smoothed slightly, and she asked uncertainly: "Could it be something like the flirting between couples?"

Jiang Baobao did not speak.

She only revealed an expression that said, "You finally figured it out."

But Jiang Motian was even more surprised.

She said: "We were always careful before, looking after Mobai's feelings. With Kexuan being so blunt and uninhibited, won't it have the opposite effect?"

"I don't see any opposite effect, I only see that Mobai is perfectly willing."

Jiang Motian recalled the scene at the dining table just now...
