Chapter 2215: Can You Stay With Me Always?

~7 min read 1,339 words

After hearing this, Jiang Mobai lowered his head.

Then he asked sadly, "Did I not do well enough, and make you unhappy?"

Uh...

Su Kexuan shuddered.

She discovered that Jiang Mobai seemed to have figured out her tactics recently.

Not only that, he had mastered them, and had even learned to act pitiful.

It had quite a bit of that "green tea" flavor.

But Su Kexuan did not buy it.

She rubbed her arm and said, "That's right, I am unhappy."

"Are you really unhappy? But didn't you eat all the snacks I brought you?"

"..."

Su Kexuan felt a moment of awkwardness.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and immediately found an excuse: "I just didn't want to waste them!"

"But for people you don't like, if they give you things you don't like, you won't even look at them and can toss them into the trash can immediately."

"But for the sake of the Li Family, I can't do that!"

"If that's really the case, then you should continue to accept them even more, because whether it's my mother, or Tiantian, or Momo, they all hope you can accept my good intentions."

"But these good intentions are too heavy; they will affect my ability to keep my figure!"

"You are so thin, it's fine to eat some snacks. Don't have body anxiety, otherwise how are others supposed to live?"

Jiang Mobai spoke in an earnest and well-meaning tone.

He even used his eyes to encourage Su Kexuan, telling her not to have any burdens.

But did Su Kexuan need his encouragement?

She narrowed her eyes, her voice cold: "Jiang Mobai, you are just trying to contradict me, aren't you!"

"How could I? I'm just telling the truth. Could it be that you can't listen to the truth anymore? Fine, then I won't say anything in the future."

After speaking, Jiang Mobai turned his head and stared at the "bubbling" clay pot.

The expression on his face was truly aggrieved.

As soon as Su Kexuan saw his appearance, she knew he was deliberately acting like this for her to see.

But...

Why were his eyes red?

No way.

Was he going to cry from being aggrieved!?

Su Kexuan found it unbelievable.

She still wanted to tell Jiang Mobai to stop while he was ahead.

But the words that came out of her mouth were much gentler: "You were just lecturing me with grand principles, so why are you the one feeling aggrieved now?"

"Because you don't listen when I lecture, and you even misunderstand me!"

"... Alright, a grown man acting all aggrieved, what does that look like."

Jiang Mobai didn't make a sound.

The curve of his mouth drooped a little further.

Su Kexuan discovered that she really couldn't stand this guy acting like this.

She frowned and made a concession: "Next time you want to bring something, tell me in advance. If I think it's okay, I'll take it; don't be sneaky."

"Then don't find excuses to refuse."

"Mm."

Having obtained Su Kexuan's promise, Jiang Mobai immediately looked over with a beaming smile.

The corners of his eyes were still a bit red.

As his eyes curved, teardrops rolled down.

Seeing this, Su Kexuan couldn't help but say: "You're so old, and you can still cry."

"Hey, this is a natural reaction. If you keep your eyes open without blinking, you'll want to shed tears too."

So...

This guy was deliberately playing the victim!?

Realizing this, Su Kexuan immediately darkened her expression.

But before she could get angry, Jiang Mobai said: "You've already agreed, so you're not allowed to go back on your word! You are a successful female entrepreneur, your word is gold!"

Su Kexuan closed her eyes.

She really didn't expect that she could actually fall for Jiang Mobai's trap!

However...

She should have been angry, but at this moment, she couldn't bring herself to be.

There was only a heart full of helplessness.

"Kexuan, I'm very happy!"

Hearing Jiang Mobai's words, Su Kexuan opened her eyes.

Then she said with a mocking tone: "Of course you're happy that your scheme succeeded!"

"No, I'm happy... because you know how to care for me."

When Jiang Mobai said this, he was still carefully observing Su Kexuan's reaction.

From his observation, it was clear that Su Kexuan was stunned for a moment.

The next second, she was about to subconsciously deny it.

But with the words on the tip of her tongue, Su Kexuan changed her mind.

She only said: "My task in coming here is to take care of you; it's only normal to be a bit good to you."

Although she did not deny Jiang Mobai's words.

She still distanced the relationship between the two of them.

Jiang Mobai clearly understood.

But he still smiled brightly: "Mm, what you say makes sense, but I'm just very happy!"

Su Kexuan cursed "idiot" in her heart.

Yet as she looked at Jiang Mobai, her gaze softened involuntarily.

Su Kexuan thought, Jiang Mobai's emotions were becoming increasingly stable.

It shouldn't be long before he shakes off the influence of his negative emotions and begins a new life.

But at that time...

She would be able to retire after completing her mission.

Thinking of this, Su Kexuan's heart suddenly trembled slightly.

"Hey, why did you stop talking?"

Su Kexuan came back to her senses and saw Jiang Mobai waving his hand in front of her eyes.

Before Su Kexuan could open her mouth to explain, Jiang Mobai suddenly wore a look of realization.

Then, flipping the bangs on his forehead, he narcissistically said: "You must think my profile is very handsome and were mesmerized by it!"

Su Kexuan:...

She looked at Jiang Mobai with an indescribable expression.

She felt like this guy's brain might have water in it.

Sighing softly, she said: "You're so young, why are you having hallucinations? It's probably from staying at home; you should go out and walk around when you have nothing to do."

Jiang Mobai muttered: "How is it a hallucination?"

Su Kexuan did not dwell on this with him, but instead said seriously: "Seriously, you really should go outside to clear your mind."

"It's quite good at home too, there are many things to do."

"But the outside world has its own wonders; when I'm off, we'll go out for a walk together."

"Ah? Can I..."

"No!"

Su Kexuan saw Jiang Mobai's resistance.

But her attitude was firm, and she simply would not allow Jiang Mobai to give a negative answer.

Jiang Mobai became anxious at once.

He murmured: "What if I suddenly have an episode? What if I fall down in public?"

"Then you stand back up; I will be by your side."

Escapism is not a solution.

Sooner or later, Jiang Mobai must return to the public eye.

He needs to overcome this psychological barrier.

Regarding this point, Jiang Mobai himself was also very clear.

But...

Su Kexuan said she would accompany him, huh...

Jiang Mobai could not help but feel his heart flutter.

He even made an unreasonable request: "Then can you stay with me forever?"

"What kind of daydream are you having? Don't I need to go to work?"

With one sentence, Su Kexuan interrupted the romantic atmosphere that had just emerged.

Afterward, Su Kexuan forcibly changed the subject: "I'm hungry, when can we eat?"

Actually, Su Kexuan wasn't that hungry.

After all, she had eaten so many cheese sticks in the car.

But food was undoubtedly a good topic to ease the awkwardness.

Jiang Mobai immediately responded: "There are braised pork ribs in this pot; I just need to stir-fry two vegetable dishes."

"You braised the ribs too?"

"Yeah, do you want to taste them again?"

Su Kexuan shook her head: "I'll pick the vegetables; that way it'll be faster."

Saying this, Su Kexuan opened the refrigerator.

"Which ones are you going to stir-fry?"

"Water spinach and celtuce."

Su Kexuan nodded after hearing this.

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stood up abruptly and strode toward the door.
