Chapter 2214: I Don't Need Your Kindness

Su Kexuan's words made the factory manager feel nervous without realizing it.

He asked, "Has something happened?"

"Nothing has happened, it is just a precaution. We have no intention to harm others, but if something really does happen, we must never let ourselves be at a disadvantage."

When Su Kexuan spoke, there was a faint smile on the corners of her lips.

It seemed as if she really were just taking precautions.

But connecting it to the fact that she had just mentioned Song Yue...

The factory manager understood something.

He put on a serious expression and promised, "You are right, I will go arrange it in a moment."

"Then you go ahead and get busy."

Having finished the serious business, Su Kexuan did not linger at the factory.

On the way back, because there was no longer a tail following her, Su Kexuan felt much more at ease.

But she knew that as soon as she returned to the company, that tail would definitely reconnect.

Su Kexuan felt weary.

After thinking about it, she decided to change her route and return to her apartment.

But there were still some documents at the company that had not been organized...

Su Kexuan called her assistant.

She had intended to give the assistant some tasks.

But when the call was answered, the assistant reported to Su Kexuan mysteriously first: "Boss, someone snuck into the office."

Su Kexuan was not surprised by this result.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Did you 'carefully arrange' things as I instructed before?"

"Of course I did!"

"That is good. By the way, organize the documents for that Haicheng company project later and send them to me."

"Understood, Boss!"

"You have worked hard today too, I will send you a red envelope in a moment."

"Eh? How could I be so embarrassed to accept that."

The assistant was still being polite.

A notification that a red envelope had been received appeared on the phone.

The assistant tapped it to look...

"Boss is too generous! It doesn't matter if I work overtime until late at night!!"

Su Kexuan was always generous to loyal and hardworking employees.

She smiled lightly and said, "Alright, go get busy. If there is any new news, notify me immediately."

"Understood!"

The assistant hung up the phone happily, full of motivation.

On Su Kexuan's side, her mood was also quite good.

Seeing a colorful edge peeking out from the bag in the passenger seat, Su Kexuan only hesitated for a moment before taking the item out.

She put the cheese stick into her mouth.

Only after taking a bite did she realize this one was cantaloupe flavored.

Hmm...

How should she put it?

It was not bad to eat.

But Su Kexuan could not say she liked it either.

However, she was very curious about what flavors the remaining cheese sticks were.

So she tasted them one after another.

The flavors of these things were truly different.

Strawberry flavor, mango flavor, blueberry flavor...

When Su Kexuan was about to taste the next one, she reached out to feel...

They were gone?

Had she eaten a whole bag of cheese sticks just because of curiosity?

Su Kexuan felt she was so bored.

And a little...

Full.

She drove back to her apartment.

As soon as Su Kexuan entered the door, she smelled the aroma of food.

Why was dinner so early today?

While changing her shoes, Su Kexuan looked inside suspiciously.

Hearing the movement, Jiang Mobai walked out in a hurry.

Seeing Su Kexuan, he was visibly panicked.

The next second, he asked with a smile, "Why are you back so early today?"

"You don't want me to come back so early?"

"Not at all, I..."

Jiang Mobai had not finished speaking when he heard a "hissing" sound coming from the kitchen.

"Oh no, that's bad!"

Jiang Mobai called out, turned his head, and ran toward the kitchen.

At this moment, the soup in the clay pot was already boiling.

Milky white soup was continuously flowing down the sides of the pot.

Jiang Mobai anxiously lifted the lid.

As a result, he burned his fingers.

He didn't have time to treat them, so he grabbed a rag to pad his hand and lifted the clay pot lid again.

Instantly, a cloud of white steam billowed up.

The aroma became even richer.

Su Kexuan did not see the cook in the kitchen, so she realized something.

She asked, "Did you make this soup?"

"Ah, it's been simmering for two hours; I thought since you were coming back, it would be just right to drink."

Jiang Mobai did not turn around while he was speaking.

He seemed a little embarrassed.

"Can I taste it now?" Su Kexuan walked to Jiang Mobai's side, took a deep breath, and added, "It smells pretty good."

This positive evaluation made Jiang Mobai happy.

He had thought that if Su Kexuan saw him in such a flustered state, she would criticize him a bit.

He didn't expect...

Jiang Mobai pursed his lips.

He took out a small bowl and ladled out some fish soup.

Then he handed it over with both hands.

Su Kexuan blew on it gently and took a small sip.

Actually, the whole process only took a few seconds.

But Jiang Mobai felt it was very long.

His heart was also in his throat.

He had even thought about how to save face if Su Kexuan offered criticism.

As it turned out...

"It's very savory, very delicious."

These few simple words made Jiang Mobai feel a sense of relief.

He smiled, raised his hand, and scratched the back of his head.

But this movement caused his fingers to ache.

Looking closely, Jiang Mobai discovered his fingers had been burned red.

Su Kexuan also saw the bright red fingertips.

Her expression darkened slightly, and she said, "There is ointment in the cabinet; I'll get it for you."

"Ah, no need, it's fine."

Su Kexuan did not listen to him.

She still fetched the ointment.

And handed it to Jiang Mobai.

Jiang Mobai didn't take it; he said with a hint of grievance, "I'm afraid of pain, could you help me?"

Su Kexuan's brows knitted together at once.

This small gesture made Jiang Mobai's heart skip a beat.

He was about to say he was just joking.

But before he could open his mouth, Su Kexuan unscrewed the cap and squeezed out a bit of white ointment.

Then she applied it to the spot on Jiang Mobai's hand that had been burned red.

Even though Su Kexuan's movements showed impatience.

The pressure of her hand was very light.

Jiang Mobai didn't feel any pain at all; instead, under the effect of the ointment, the burning sensation was relieved.

"Done."

Su Kexuan let go of Jiang Mobai's hand and took a tissue to wipe the residual ointment off her own fingers.

Jiang Mobai immediately thanked her: "Thank you, it feels much better."

"But I don't feel very good."

The smile on Jiang Mobai's face froze slightly.

He stared intently at Su Kexuan, not knowing what he had done wrong to displease her.

"I already told you before not to stuff things into my bag randomly; why don't you listen?"

"Ah, about that..."

Jiang Mobai's eyes drifted, and then he deliberately changed the subject: "Don't you like eating it? Then tell me what you like to eat, and I'll go buy it."

"Do you think I wouldn't buy the things I want to eat myself?"

"You really wouldn't, because you're too busy; for you, eating is just about filling your stomach. Let me tell you, people need to properly replenish energy between meals, especially someone like you who works at such high intensity..."

Jiang Mobai talked on and on.

Su Kexuan did not interrupt Jiang Mobai either.

Once he had finished talking to himself, Su Kexuan crossed her arms, tilted her head, and asked him, "What is it? Are you giving up your models to become a nutrition expert?"

"Not really, I'm just trying to regulate my body, and while I'm at it, I'll help you regulate yours too."

"Thank you for your good intentions, but I don't need it."

Su Kexuan's refusal was very direct.

She didn't even give Jiang Mobai a chance to argue his case.
