Chapter 2219: Bewitched by Beauty

After giving a few more instructions, Su Kexuan hung up the phone.

Jiang Motian had just heard most of it from the side.

Seeing Su Kexuan hang up, she couldn't help but comment: "It's like Infernal Affairs!"

Su Kexuan smiled and said, "To deal with people like that, you have to use extraordinary methods."

"You have plenty of ideas, and I'm not afraid of you getting the short end of the stick, but don't wear yourself out."

Worrying about so many things all day long.

Jiang Motian felt sorry for her.

Su Kexuan noticed Jiang Motian's concern.

She revealed a faint smile.

Then she said warmly: "I know, you little busybody!"

Compared to being called a busybody, Jiang Motian would rather Su Kexuan call her...

Sister-in-law.

Ahem, that was a bit thick-skinned.

Jiang Motian blinked and cast aside her unrealistic fantasy.

Then she urged Su Kexuan to continue on their way.

For the rest of the time, the two of them visited all the potential locations.

Because there was some distance between each site.

After the tour, both of them were exhausted.

By the time Su Kexuan returned to the apartment, she flopped right onto the sofa.

She didn't want to move a muscle.

Hearing the commotion, Jiang Mobai walked out of his room.

Then he saw Su Kexuan curled up on the sofa like a kitten.

Well-behaved and endearing.

Jiang Mobai softened his voice unconsciously: "It's really late today, did you work overtime?"

"You could say that."

"I'll go heat up some food for you."

"No need, Tiantian and I already ate outside."

They said they had eaten, but they had just gone to a convenience store to buy milk and hot dogs.

Just to tide themselves over.

At this moment, Su Kexuan didn't even feel hungry; she didn't want to eat anything at all.

Jiang Mobai assumed that since the two girls were together, they must have had a big meal, so he didn't ask further.

It's just that...

Why did Su Kexuan seem to be asleep?

Jiang Mobai leaned in to look.

He discovered that it was indeed the case!

How tired must she be to fall asleep so quickly...

Jiang Mobai felt immense heartache.

Sleeping curled up on the sofa couldn't be comfortable, so Jiang Mobai leaned over to carry Su Kexuan back to her room.

However, Su Kexuan wasn't sound asleep at all.

Just as Jiang Mobai lifted Su Kexuan's legs with his arms, she woke up.

At the same time, her gaze was sharp: "What are you doing!?"

Jiang Mobai's body stiffened under her stare.

He hurriedly explained: "It's easy to catch a cold sleeping on the sofa, and it's not comfortable either, so I was going to carry you back to your room."

"You? Carry me back to my room?"

"Why that tone? Do you think I don't have the strength?"

Su Kexuan didn't have any doubts in that regard.

However...

Her gaze shifted downward: "Since I'm already awake, let me go, I'll walk back myself."

Let her go?

He hadn't even...

Jiang Mobai looked down and realized he was still holding her thigh!!!

In an instant, Jiang Mobai's face turned red.

His hands felt as if they were burned, and he quickly let go of Su Kexuan.

Then he took two steps back, wanting to keep his distance from Su Kexuan.

But because he was flustered, Jiang Mobai tripped while backing up and had to wave his arms for a long time to regain his balance.

"Pfft—"

Su Kexuan laughed out loud.

When she laughed, she tilted her head.

Her eyes were slightly squinted, lazy and charming.

The ambient light from above shone right on her, casting a layer of glow over her.

Making Su Kexuan appear especially alluring.

Jiang Mobai was stunned as he watched.

His throat moved involuntarily.

Then, slowly, slowly, he leaned in toward those alluring red lips...

Su Kexuan knew what he wanted to do.

But she did not move.

She just watched as Jiang Mobai gradually drew closer...

Buzz, buzz, buzz—

Amidst the ambiguity, the sound of a mobile phone vibrating suddenly rang out.

This sound shattered the romantic atmosphere.

It also made Su Kexuan and Jiang Mobai spring apart from each other like two springs.

In both of their hearts, four words emerged: Beauty is a distraction!

Su Kexuan pretended that nothing had happened and took out her phone.

The person calling was Jiang Motian.

She was also exhausted today.

But she was happily exhausted.

Now that she had new information, she immediately told Su Kexuan: "I spoke to a senior about my plan to open an art gallery, and he recommended a good location to me. I can go take a look next week!"

"Next week? If time permits, you should go in these two days, lest someone else gets there first."

"Sigh, I want to too, but I'm going abroad tomorrow to attend an event, so I can't make it in time."

"I see. Then send me the address; I'll go check it out first. If it's really good, I'll reserve it first."

"Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you!"

"Mm, you've worked hard today too, get some good rest."

After speaking, the two friends hung up the phone.

And on Su Kexuan's side... she fell into awkwardness once again.

Sigh, what should she say?

Su Kexuan pondered in her heart.

In the end, it was Jiang Mobai who broke the silence first: "Was that a call from Tiantian?"

"Mm."

"What are you two... plotting?"

Su Kexuan originally wanted to say a few random words to brush it off.

But an idea suddenly popped into her head.

Su Kexuan rolled her eyes and changed her tune: "Tiantian and I are planning to partner up to open an art gallery. We went to pick a location today and have to continue looking tomorrow. But Tiantian is busy, so only I will be going tomorrow."

As she spoke, Su Kexuan rubbed her legs.

She looked very tired.

Seeing this, Jiang Mobai immediately asked: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"You really want to help?"

"Of course!"

Su Kexuan curled her lips and proposed an idea: "Tiantian can't come tomorrow because she has things to do, so why don't you, as her brother, come in her place and help me weigh in on it while you're at it."

This was not a difficult task.

But Jiang Mobai felt hesitant.

He...

Really did not want to go out!

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Mobai was about to open his mouth to find an excuse to refuse and then recommend someone else.

But as he raised his eyes, he saw this woman narrowing her eyes.

A familiar gesture.

A familiar routine.

Jiang Mobai could not let Su Kexuan say those familiar words again!

Jiang Mobai straightened his back and said with high morale: "I will definitely go, don't worry!"

This answer made Su Kexuan very satisfied.

She curled her lips and said in a relaxed tone: "We'll set off early tomorrow morning, you should get some rest early."

Su Kexuan's smile made Jiang Mobai lose his focus for a moment.

He muttered: "You are quite fond of smiling today."

Hearing this, Su Kexuan reined in her smile a little.

Then she stretched and said nonchalantly: "That's because you're funny."

Hmm...

Jiang Mobai had never heard such an evaluation before.

He couldn't help but touch his cheek.

He wondered where he was funny.

Seeing his dazed look, Su Kexuan was about to curl her lips again.

But thinking of Jiang Mobai's previous comment, she suppressed the slightly upturned arc and said: "Next time you're in a bad mood, just look in the mirror."

"Why?"

"Because you will be amused by yourself in the mirror."

"No, no, that trick doesn't work on me; I'll only be swooned by my own handsomeness."

Jiang Mobai answered honestly.

Su Kexuan, however, failed to hold back her laughter because of this sentence.

This guy...

Since when did he become so narcissistic!?

Yet Jiang Mobai did not even think he was being narcissistic.
