Chapter 2222: Really Not Making People Feel At Ease

~7 min read 1,366 words

They hadn't been chatting for long when Su Kexuan's phone rang.

The other party said very tactfully, "You go ahead and talk, I'll call you again in a while."

"Alright."

Su Kexuan smiled at the person in charge, then answered the phone.

The call was from Jiang Motian.

She asked impatiently, "How does it look?"

"Not bad, it's my favorite among the few candidate locations so far; I'll take some photos for you in a moment."

"No need for that, if you think it's fine, let's just sign the contract directly."

Jiang Motian's words made Su Kexuan curl her lips: "You trust me that much?"

"Since you said it's your favorite, of course I trust you."

"But this is just my personal feeling, it's inevitably a bit subjective."

"Isn't Mobai with you? Why don't you ask for his opinion?"

Su Kexuan was just about to speak.

But she sensed something was off.

She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Wait a second, how did you know Mobai came too?"

"Mobai told the cook that she didn't need to cook today, so I guessed he must have gone out with you."

After explaining, Jiang Motian sighed with emotion: "Sigh, it really has to be you; we tried so hard to persuade Mobai to go out for a walk, but he wouldn't even listen."

"Didn't you ask me to come here just to help him break through his shell? I certainly can't let you down."

"Uh, actually that's not..."

"I'll still take some photos for you, after all, you're a partner too."

Su Kexuan was changing the subject.

Jiang Motian naturally could tell.

She sighed silently.

Then she laughed: "Fine, then take a few more, let me see what kind of art gallery could move you."

"No problem."

As the words fell, Su Kexuan hung up the phone.

Those few sentences she just said were not just for Jiang Motian to hear.

They were also meant for Jiang Mobai to hear.

He...

Should have heard them, right?

Su Kexuan breathed lightly.

Then she turned around.

But she did not see Jiang Mobai.

Strange, where is he?

Su Kexuan frowned slightly and began to look around.

Soon, she saw Jiang Mobai's figure.

It turned out that guy had gone up to the second floor at some point.

There was a small viewing platform on the second floor.

Because it was under maintenance, the entrance to the viewing platform was blocked off.

Jiang Mobai stepped over the railing and was standing there taking pictures downwards.

Su Kexuan immediately shouted at him: "Didn't you see that it's blocked off? Come down quickly!"

"Only a few railings here are loose, it'll be fine if I don't lean on them."

"I'll say it again, come down quickly!"

"Then wait for me to take one more, the view here is good, I can capture everything below."

As Jiang Mobai spoke, he raised his phone high to take a panoramic shot.

Unfortunately, Jiang Mobai miscalculated.

The main reason this place was blocked off was not the issue with the railings.

It was that the stairs of the viewing platform were in disrepair due to age.

Jiang Mobai was unaware of this.

When he turned to walk down, a metal plate from the iron stairs fell straight down!

The "Clang, clang" sound of metal impact made Su Kexuan's heart jump into her throat!

Jiang Mobai didn't dare to go back the way he came, so he circled back to the viewing platform.

Su Kexuan immediately shouted: "You wait a moment, I'll go find the person in charge and have him bring a ladder over!"

"No need for that much trouble, I can get down myself."

What?

With those legs of his, how could he get down by himself!

Su Kexuan's brows twisted like a pretzel, and she immediately scolded: "Stop messing around, just wait honestly!"

After saying that, Su Kexuan was about to go find someone.

But just as she turned around, Jiang Mobai behind her stepped over the railing, preparing to use the support structure nearby to climb down slowly.

Hearing the movement, Su Kexuan immediately looked back.

Seeing that Jiang Mobai wouldn't listen to advice at all, Su Kexuan really wanted to scold him until he was drenched in shame!

But at a time like this, Su Kexuan didn't dare to agitate him.

She could only hold her breath, hoping that Jiang Mobai would land smoothly.

When Jiang Mobai was still half a meter from the ground, he gave a light jump downward...

"Ouch!"

The pained sound made Su Kexuan hurry over to support Jiang Mobai.

Feeling both distressed and angry, she lectured him: "Is your leg hurting? Tell me, you're such a grown man, why won't you listen to advice!"

Su Kexuan's tone was not very good.

But Jiang Mobai felt the concern within it.

Just feeling it wasn't enough; he tilted his head and asked, "Kexuan, are you worried about me?"

"Isn't that obvious!"

Jiang Mobai pursed his lips and smiled.

Then he explained: "My leg is fine, it's just that there was a small pebble in my shoe, and it poked my foot when I jumped down."

Su Kexuan didn't speak.

It was obvious that she didn't believe Jiang Mobai's excuse.

Seeing this, Jiang Mobai leaned against the wall, took off one shoe, and turned it upside down.

A small black pebble really did fall out.

After Jiang Mobai put his shoe back on, he jumped in place twice.

"Look, I'm perfectly fine, see?"

Seeing that Jiang Mobai was truly fine, Su Kexuan finally relaxed.

The person in charge heard the commotion over here and hurried over.

Su Kexuan immediately put away her excess emotions.

Then she turned her head to apologize to the other party: "I'm sorry, my friend just broke your stairs."

"Is that person alright?"

"He's fine."

"Oh, that's good! These stairs should have been repaired a long time ago, but due to budget issues, it's been dragged out until now."

The person in charge wanted to sell this art gallery quickly.

He could also feel that this Miss Su was very interested in the place.

It was just that he didn't know if this interest still existed after the little episode that just happened.

The person in charge wanted to ask tactfully.

Su Kexuan, however, spoke first: "I'll send a few photos of this place to my friend; if there are no other issues, we can sign an agreement today."

"Ah? That's great! I have the overall layout and exterior photos here, I can send them to you now if you need them!"

The person in charge was overjoyed.

Su Kexuan smiled faintly: "Yes please, sorry for the trouble."

"No trouble at all, no trouble! If you really can take over this art gallery, you'd be doing us a favor!"

The person in charge exchanged a few more polite words before finding the photos for Su Kexuan.

Once they were transferred, Su Kexuan sent the photos she had taken, as well as the ones Jiang Mobai had taken, to Jiang Motian.

Soon, Su Kexuan received a reply from Jiang Motian.

Her reply was simple and direct: Sign it quickly.

Seeing these two words, Su Kexuan curled the corners of her lips.

She didn't hesitate, finding the person in charge to discuss the details of the contract.

As the two of them chatted, Jiang Mobai couldn't help with anything, so he walked alone to the window area to observe the bamboo.

When he first came in, Jiang Mobai had noticed these bamboo plants growing wantonly.

Perhaps because no one was taking care of them, the bamboo grew very wildly.

It was also very full of vitality.

Jiang Mobai liked this kind of vitality.

He wondered if he could get one to take back and raise?

Just as he was thinking, a buzzing sound came from his pocket.

Jiang Mobai lowered his head and took out his phone.

He had received a message on his phone.

It was sent by Sui Xin.

The two had previously agreed that Sui Xin would help pass along information about Su Kexuan.

And Jiang Mobai would help handle the matter of booking the Doctor.
