Chapter 2246: What a God-Given Opportunity

Seeing Jiang Mobai speaking so articulately, Su Kexuan murmured, "I didn't expect you to know so much."

"I've been helping out at the art gallery these days, and from chatting with everyone, I've learned a thing or two."

Jiang Mobai worked as he spoke.

There was no sign of displeasure on his face.

But his indifference made Su Kexuan feel quite uneasy inside.

"Sorry, I misunderstood you just now."

Jiang Mobai straightened his back and smiled, "You've already apologized; I haven't taken it to heart."

"You may not take it to heart, but... I just wanted to say it."

"Mm, I've already heard it."

After saying this, Jiang Mobai continued mopping the floor.

Su Kexuan, however, felt annoyed at her own behavior.

What was she... being so pretentious for just now?

Rubbing her temples, Su Kexuan said again, "I will look for another place to stay."

"There's no need for that. You moved in with me to help me overcome my psychological barrier, so why can't I help you out? If your heart is open and honest, it's the same wherever you live."

Jiang Mobai's words were very reasonable.

But Su Kexuan's inner thoughts... truly could not be considered open and honest.

She should find an excuse to refuse Jiang Mobai and stay away from this source of instability.

Yet, as if possessed, she softly uttered one word: "Okay."

Seeing that Su Kexuan had agreed, Jiang Mobai flashed her a clean and pure smile.

That smile made Su Kexuan feel a slight sense of relief in her heart.

She felt as if she had been bewitched.

Even looking at the mess around her, she no longer felt bothered.

Instead, she felt a surge of motivation.

Just like that, the two of them spent the entire afternoon barely managing to clean up the water stains in the room.

Then, they threw away everything that was definitely unusable.

After finishing all this, both of them felt their bodies go limp.

Thinking that Jiang Mobai hadn't even eaten because he was helping her, Su Kexuan suggested, "Let me treat you to dinner."

"Sure, but which restaurant lets you eat while lying down?"

Su Kexuan was speechless.

But come to think of it, she also really wanted to collapse on the sofa.

She felt as if her limbs had turned into cotton.

They were incredibly soft.

Pounding her own arms, Su Kexuan thought of an idea: "How about we order takeout and eat at home?"

"That's a great idea, then I can eat while lying down!"

"Then what do you want to eat?"

"Pizza, an extra-large one!"

Su Kexuan nodded slightly and proceeded to order the takeout.

Based on the timing, the takeout should arrive right around the time they returned to the apartment.

However, the person who arrived at the apartment with them was not the delivery driver.

It was... Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao knew that Su Kexuan was supposed to move out today.

She also knew that Jiang Mobai's mood definitely wouldn't be good tonight.

So she came over to check on them.

But she hadn't expected that Su Kexuan hadn't left!

And both of them looked completely exhausted!

Jiang Baobao had to muster all her strength to keep her mind from wandering into inappropriate thoughts.

Then, she asked as seriously as possible, "Did you two... go to a construction site to work?"

"It's pretty much the same thing."

Jiang Mobai really didn't have the energy to stand and talk.

After opening the door, he threw himself onto the sofa first.

Then he gave a rough explanation about the water leak at Su Kexuan's place.

Jiang Baobao almost laughed out loud upon hearing this!

She thought to herself that this was truly a god-given opportunity!

Hiding the faint smile on her lips, Jiang Baobao took Su Kexuan's hand and said earnestly, "For this period, just stay here with peace of mind. As for the house, I will help you look after it."

"No need, once I find a renovation crew, I'll let them handle it."

"You still need to keep an eye on it to be at ease. In any case, leave this matter to me, you just focus on your work."

Jiang Baobao was very enthusiastic, taking full charge of the situation.

Su Kexuan couldn't easily refuse, so she could only agree for now.

Soon, the takeout arrived.

Jiang Baobao helped bring the takeout inside and let the two of them eat.

She went to the kitchen to boil milk tea and cut some fruit.

Soon, the "gurgle" of boiling water and the "tap-tap" of cutting fruit came from the kitchen.

Su Kexuan looked over and saw that Jiang Baobao remained elegant even while busy.

She then looked at Jiang Mobai, who was devouring his food beside her...

Strange.

It was clearly not a grand meal.

The things encountered today were also very unsmooth.

Why did she suddenly feel so warm and at ease?

Su Kexuan could not figure it out.

Jiang Mobai, beside her, saw her head lowered in a daze and asked, "Why aren't you eating? Is it not to your taste?"

"No, it's quite delicious."

Su Kexuan said, taking a big bite.

Instantly, her taste buds were satisfied.

But the sauce also smeared onto the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Mobai saw it and said with a smile, "Eating a piece of pizza, you've turned into a little cat."

Su Kexuan hurriedly wiped it with a tissue.

But she didn't wipe it off at all.

Seeing this, Jiang Mobai very naturally took the tissue and helped her out.

After he realized what he had done...

He hurriedly threw away the tissue and used eating voraciously to cover up his panic.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Baobao could not help but shake her head.

Sigh, what playboy, it's all just an empty reputation.

Once he meets a girl he likes, he's a total klutz!

Silently complaining to herself, Jiang Baobao walked over with the milk tea and fruit, saying, "Have some hot milk tea first!"

"Thank you, Auntie."

Su Kexuan thanked her and took a sip of the milk tea.

Instantly, the warm and fragrant milk tea soothed Su Kexuan's stomach.

She felt her whole body growing warm.

After putting down the cup, she said sincerely, "The ingredients here are so simple, yet you can still make milk tea taste as good as the ones outside; you're truly amazing!"

"The method is actually quite simple. If you like it, Auntie will make it for you again next time."

"Mm, thank you, Auntie!"

Jiang Baobao nodded with a smile and looked at Jiang Mobai again.

Just as she looked, she happened to see Jiang Mobai accidentally knock over his cup.

His pants were all wet!

"Oh my, you child..."

Jiang Baobao suppressed the urge to complain and hurriedly handed over a tissue.

Jiang Mobai was extremely embarrassed.

He had originally intended to pass his own cup over after hearing that Su Kexuan liked milk tea.

He didn't expect that when his mother looked over, Jiang Mobai's fingers trembled, and the cup tipped over...

Looking down at the indescribable mess on his pants, Jiang Mobai said gloomily, "I'd better go change my pants."

After saying this, Jiang Mobai hurriedly walked back to the bedroom.

Although Jiang Baobao would complain about her son, at critical moments, she would still put in a good word for Jiang Mobai: "He's just like that, rash and careless; please bear with him in the future."

"Not at all, actually Mobai is quite good at taking care of people."

"Sigh, you don't need to comfort me; I know what he's like."

"This isn't a lie to comfort you; Mobai has matured quite a bit, does things steadily, and won't be impulsive when encountering issues."

"Really?"

"Mm, if you had been there on the day of the practice match, you would know that everything I said is true; he really is different from before."

"Sigh, it's good that he can make progress; at least his suffering wasn't in vain."

Jiang Baobao put on a gratified expression.

But inside, she was blooming with joy!
