Chapter 2245: Sorry, I Misunderstood You

Jiang Mobai asked cautiously, "Then... have you never thought about staying?"

"No."

"You are good to me, is it only because of my family?"

"Yes."

"There is no other reason?"

"No."

Su Kexuan answered decisively, without hesitation.

But Jiang Mobai felt that Su Kexuan was lying!

The way she treated him and took care of him was not as cold as she made it sound!

However...

Since the decision had already been made, what was the point of denying her?

It would only make both parties feel awkward.

Jiang Mobai put away his bitterness and smiled, "Since you are leaving, I must seize the opportunity to take more photos of you."

"Okay, do you need me to look at the lens?"

"No, just look at the sky."

Su Kexuan posed according to Jiang Mobai's request.

Jiang Mobai held the camera, looking for a suitable angle.

The two of them looked relaxed, as if the conversation from just a moment ago had never happened.

But whether it was Su Kexuan or Jiang Mobai, their moods were very heavy.

Especially Jiang Mobai.

His emotions were rising and falling, and the hand holding the camera was trembling slightly...

After finishing the picnic, the two drove home.

As soon as Jiang Mobai parked the car, he received a message from his mother.

Jiang Baobao could not wait to know the result!

But...

Facing his mother's inquiry, Jiang Mobai only typed a few simple words: Tired, resting first.

Jiang Baobao looked at these words and frowned slightly.

Li Moning was sitting beside Jiang Baobao, digging into some ice cream.

Seeing her mother's solemn expression, she asked, "Is the result not good?"

"Most likely."

"Sigh, how could this be? I thought Second Brother would win on the first try."

Wei Yangyang was sitting on the other side of Jiang Baobao.

She put down the baby clothes she was half-finished with and murmured, "Could it be that the things we helped prepare weren't good enough, affecting Mobai's performance?"

"No, I think it's just that the timing isn't right yet."

Li Moning was puzzled, "But Sister Kexuan clearly has Second Brother in her heart. Since she likes him, why wait for any timing?"

"You haven't been hurt by love; you don't know that people with scars in their hearts find it hard to get past that hurdle."

Li Moning truly did not understand.

She only wanted to help Jiang Mobai.

But Li Moning had no way to start, so she could only ask her mother, "What else can we do?"

Jiang Baobao was also at her wit's end; the only thing she could do was: "Leave it to fate."

Huh?

Li Moning felt that was so unreliable.

But this time...

Fate was actually on Jiang Mobai's side.

The next day—

When Su Kexuan moved into the apartment, she didn't have many things.

When leaving, there wasn't much to pack either.

She packed her luggage alone and prepared to call a moving company.

But Jiang Mobai insisted on taking her himself.

Su Kexuan couldn't refuse him, so she had to let Jiang Mobai drive that business van to help her move her things.

But before the two could set off, Su Kexuan received a call: "Little Su, I'm Auntie Li from upstairs."

Su Kexuan had no interaction with the surrounding neighbors.

She had no impression of this Auntie Li either.

But out of politeness, she still said politely, "Hello."

"It's like this, I went abroad to play last week. I had turned off the water valve when I left, but the property staff said that water is leaking out from the crack of our door!"

Upon hearing this, Su Kexuan immediately had a bad premonition.

"I'm outside right now and don't know what the situation is at home. I'm calling to ask if that water has caused any impact on your place?"

"I'm not sure, I haven't been back for a long time either."

"Oh my, then hurry back and take a look!"

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Su Kexuan urged Jiang Mobai to drive quickly.

When she returned home and opened the door...

A damp, musty smell rushed toward her!

Su Kexuan whispered "Oh no" to herself and quickly looked around.

She saw water from the floor above gushing down along the walls.

Several patches of wall plaster had peeled off and fallen onto the floor.

The floorboards had warped from being soaked in water.

Even some of the furniture had suffered as a result.

It really was just too miserable...

The chaos before her made Su Kexuan's temples throb with pain.

Back then, Su Kexuan had used the excuse of her house leaking to move into Jiang Mobai's apartment.

Who would have thought that now, her words would become a self-fulfilling prophecy!

However...

Su Kexuan thought of something, turned her head, and stared straight at Jiang Mobai.

Jiang Mobai was still examining the house, which looked like a water curtain cave, with a curious expression.

Noticing Su Kexuan looking over, he quickly straightened his expression and said earnestly, "This is really just too unlucky."

"Just unlucky? Could there not be any human cause?"

Jiang Mobai understood the implication behind Su Kexuan's words.

But this matter had nothing to do with him, and he had to explain it clearly: "A leak this bad isn't something that can happen in a day or two, but I only found out yesterday that you were moving out!"

That made sense.

Su Kexuan's suspicion did not hold up in terms of timing.

Because of her misunderstanding, she also said, "Sorry."

"It's fine, let's first think about how to deal with this mess."

This...

Su Kexuan was also at a loss.

She felt like she didn't know where to begin.

Just then, a property management staff member walked down from upstairs.

He first greeted Su Kexuan and then explained, "Because of unstable water pressure, the water gate upstairs burst, which caused the leak. You should estimate your losses; Auntie Li said she can file an insurance claim."

How much money could be compensated was secondary.

The key was...

If only this person had come a little earlier!

Then she wouldn't have been foolish enough to misunderstand Jiang Mobai.

Su Kexuan sighed softly in her heart.

Then, she masked her guilt with a blank expression and said to the staff member, "Alright, I understand."

"Then you go ahead and get busy; I still have to go upstairs and keep an eye on things. Sigh, the situation upstairs is much worse than yours."

Su Kexuan was just worrying about where to start.

Upon hearing this, she asked, "How does Auntie Li plan to deal with the water-damaged house?"

"Auntie Li hasn't returned yet, and we are just helping to drain the water; we have to listen to her on how to proceed specifically. But the wooden furniture is definitely ruined, and the floors and walls will need to be renovated."

After hearing this, Su Kexuan had an idea of what to do.

She thanked the staff member.

She turned around, only to find that Jiang Mobai was no longer by her side.

Where did he go?

Su Kexuan was just about to call Jiang Mobai's name when she saw him walk out of the bathroom holding a mop and a water basin.

Jiang Mobai set down the basin and began to soak up the water on the floor.

Once it was full, he squeezed it into the basin.

Only then did Su Kexuan understand that Jiang Mobai wanted to deal with the water on the floor first.

But since it was still constantly flowing down the walls, what was the point of wiping it up?

Su Kexuan then said, "Put it down, I'll find renovation workers to handle it."

"You find yours, I'll get the water cleaned up first."

"You can't clean it all up, it's still flowing."

"They are dealing with it upstairs too; it won't flow forever, it will eventually stop. We should also open the windows for ventilation to reduce the dampness. If the dampness is too high, even if you find renovation workers, they won't be able to do the work."

Li Beijue's expression sank in an instant; he stood up abruptly and strode out.
