Chapter 2216: Marriage Is Nothing More Than This

However, Su Kexuan did not reach out to take the green vegetables.

Instead, she stared blankly for a moment, then turned back to ask: "Which one is water spinach and which is celtuce?"

Su Kexuan would also prepare some food for herself.

But she was very careless about it.

She could eat sandwiches for all three meals a day.

And the result of being careless was that she could not tell which was water spinach and which was celtuce.

If it were a month ago, Jiang Mobai would not have known either.

But he knew now.

He was seen calmly walking behind Su Kexuan, then extending his arm, pressing against her side, and taking out two bundles of green vegetables.

"Look, this one with the thick stems is water spinach. This one with the long leaves is celtuce."

Jiang Mobai was very good at grasping the key features.

This time, Su Kexuan could tell them apart.

She raised her eyes, about to speak.

But she realized...

The two of them were standing a bit too close.

They were almost touching!

Su Kexuan immediately took the vegetables away and used her arm to push Jiang Mobai aside.

"Ouch!"

Jiang Mobai's body retreated two steps.

Su Kexuan glanced over.

Seeing that he hadn't fallen, she ignored him.

She placed the vegetables on the countertop and began to pick them.

Jiang Mobai's cry just now had been a bit exaggerated.

But he really had been startled.

Rubbing his stomach, Jiang Mobai looked puzzled: "Why are you suddenly so rough!"

Su Kexuan did not explain.

But her movements in picking the vegetables became a bit faster.

The crisp leaves were picked off one by one by her without mercy.

Jiang Mobai watched for a while and couldn't help but say: "Being rough with me is one thing, but why are you like that with the vegetables too? This won't do, you're throwing away all the good leaves."

After saying this, he began to give specific instructions: "This part can all be kept; you need to pick it from the root."

Su Kexuan did not respond to Jiang Mobai.

However, her movements in picking the vegetables became much gentler.

Seeing this, Jiang Mobai turned to peel garlic and heat the oil.

The two of them didn't chat anymore.

But they worked with great tacit understanding.

Jiang Mobai even secretly thought that if they were married, life after marriage would probably be just like this...

*Ahem*—

Jiang Mobai coughed lightly, feeling uncomfortable.

He stopped his wild thoughts.

But his ears quietly turned red.

In the early morning, after Su Kexuan finished breakfast, she was about to drive to work.

But just as she was leaving, Jiang Mobai stuffed a linen tote bag into her hand.

The bag was not large, only about the size of two palms.

Inside were all the snacks Jiang Mobai had prepared for her.

Su Kexuan felt very helpless.

But she was in a hurry to leave, so she didn't refuse.

Sitting in the car, Su Kexuan could still see Jiang Mobai happily waving his arm at her in the rearview mirror.

Hmm...

This really looks like an old mother watching her daughter go to school...

With this assumption popping into her mind, Su Kexuan couldn't help but smile.

She shook her head and started the car.

By the time Su Kexuan drove to the company, she found that her assistant had not yet arrived.

Ever since Su Kexuan hired this assistant, he had never been late.

Today...

Was there a traffic jam?

Su Kexuan did not call to urge the assistant, but instead started her own work first.

About an hour later, the assistant rushed in, looking flustered.

The assistant's usual attire was exquisite down to every strand of hair.

But at this moment?

Sweat flowed down his forehead.

His shoes were stained with dust.

His tie had also slipped outside his suit jacket.

Su Kexuan looked him up and down and asked, "Did you... run to the company?"

"Yes!"

"Was a dog chasing you?"

"Not a dog, it was... *cough cough*... a person!"

Seeing that her assistant couldn't even speak clearly due to his anxiety, Su Kexuan said, "Sit down and catch your breath first, then tell me slowly."

Upon hearing this, the assistant sat on a chair and rested for a while.

He even took the tissue Su Kexuan handed him and wiped away his sweat.

Once he wasn't panting as hard, he immediately described the thrilling events of his morning:

"I took the subway to work today, and as soon as I got on, I realized someone was watching me. After I got off the subway, he even followed me!"

"I felt something was wrong, so I called the police. And guess what? Someone paid him to follow me!"

"And this isn't the first day he's followed me; he's been following me for a few days now!"

The assistant described it vividly.

Yet Su Kexuan listened with complete composure.

This made the assistant unable to help asking, "How are you... not surprised at all?"

"Because I've been followed too."

"Ah!?"

"I suspect it's the same mastermind."

"This..."

After a brief moment of shock, the assistant immediately thought of something.

But before he could open his mouth to say that person's name, a secretary came to knock on the door.

"Boss, President Zhong says he wants to see you."

Upon hearing "President Zhong," the assistant immediately widened his eyes and stared at Su Kexuan.

Su Kexuan's expression remained normal: "Let him in."

After the secretary closed the door, Su Kexuan instructed the assistant: "Don't give anything away in a moment."

"Yes!"

The assistant still had many things to say to Su Kexuan.

But he also knew that, for now, he had to deal with that old fox, President Zhong.

The assistant stood up and deliberately ruffled his hair.

Then he walked out, looking anxious and uneasy.

At the doorway, he bumped into President Zhong.

President Zhong took one look and asked with a half-smile: "What's wrong, were you criticized by the boss?"

"Don't even mention it, sigh!"

The assistant said something vague and walked out of the office.

Seeing this scene, Su Kexuan couldn't help but sigh: her assistant was quite the actor.

As her gaze shifted slightly, Su Kexuan met eyes with President Zhong again.

In the depths of President Zhong's eyes, there was a flash of coldness.

But in the blink of an eye, he put on a friendly appearance again.

Walking with long strides to Su Kexuan, President Zhong got straight to the point: "I heard the company is having a small problem with cash flow; I have a suggestion."

Hearing this, Su Kexuan's eyes flickered slightly.

Then she put away her relaxed expression and asked: "How did President Zhong hear about this news?"

Seeing Su Kexuan's micro-expression, President Zhong felt secretly smug inside.

He lifted his chin, his face full of composure: "There is no wall that doesn't let the wind through, and besides, I've been grinding away in this industry for so many years, I have a hunch."

"Then what solution do you have?"

"The large multinational company Geo is very interested in us and has the intention to invest. As long as we can reach a cooperation, the funding problem will be solved!"

Su Kexuan put on a thoughtful look.

Then she asked with a cautious face: "They aren't doing charity, what are the conditions?"

"Acquiring 40% of the company's shares."

"Wouldn't that make them the largest shareholder?"

"What we need to consider now is how to help the company get through this difficulty. As for other things, we can think of ways later. Besides, to Geo, our company isn't even worth mentioning; what does it matter if they are the largest shareholder or not?"

As President Zhong spoke, he placed a document in front of Su Kexuan.

Then he tapped it with his finger, urging Su Kexuan to look quickly.

Su Kexuan, however, did not move.

She smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I already have a company I'm interested in partnering with. This company's scale doesn't compare to Geo, but they are purely investing for profit."
