The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 188

Old Master Fu’s words immediately drew everyone’s attention to Fu Youhan.

Just then, Fu Youhan was gazing at his phone, his long eyelashes drooped as it seemed he was smiling with his eyes.

It was because he had just teased Jiang Moxi in a message: "I don’t want a verbal thank you, I want one shown through actions."

Jiang Moxi had replied to him in a message: "Then I’ll give you a bow!"

He thought that Jiang Moxi surely understood what kind of thank you he meant by actions, and he guessed her face must be flushed red right now, making him in a particularly good mood.

But Fu Youhan, with his smile, was no longer the distant and indifferent deity of past days, who gave a clear sense of distance.

It seems love really can pull people down from their pedestals.

Moreover, Old Master Fu also mentioned Fu Wangning just a moment ago, so the guests also thought the person Fu Youhan was chatting with was Fu Wangning.

Eager to please Fu Youhan, they also focused the topic on his marriage.

"It seems the love between the Third Young Master and Wangning has continued to improve over these four years."

"The wedding must be just about settled, right?"

"Old Master Fu, you really are blessed. Not only is your son outstanding, but the future daughter-in-law is a top-notch traditional medicine doctor."

In the midst of the boot-licking, Old Master Fu seemed to lose himself, smiling so widely that he couldn’t close his mouth, yet didn’t say anything to Fu Youhan.

"Wangning was planning to come back on New Year’s Eve, but the flight was delayed due to a snowstorm warning. If we’re lucky, she’ll return on the third day of the Lunar New Year. You should know about this. By then..."

Old Master Fu wanted to arrange for Fu Youhan to pick her up at the airport, but before he could finish, Fu Youhan interrupted him.

"I don’t know; we’re not in contact."

At that moment, the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

Even the smile on Old Master Fu’s face faded away instantly.

The others looked at each other, knowing they had put their foot in it, their faces awkward.

"You haven’t been in contact with Wangning? Then who have you been messaging?" Old Master Fu’s smile receded, and there was little warmth in his eyes.

Fu Youhan seemed not to notice the aggression in his tone and looked up at him directly: "Just reading jokes."

The others immediately felt the atmosphere turn weird, like they were sitting on pins and needles.

And Old Master Fu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Could it be, Fu Youhan knew something?

Was that why he had stayed out of Fu’s affairs in recent years?

Old Master Fu even started to suspect whether Fu Youhan’s lack of activity in the past few years was a way to lull him!

But even with his mind full of doubts, his face didn’t show the slightest hint: "Wangning will be back on the third day of the Lunar New Year, will you go to the airport to pick her up?"

"That’s possible." After giving his reply, Fu Youhan’s gaze returned to his phone, as if the previous exchange had been just an ordinary check of his phone without needing concealing.

Coupled with his lack of opposition to picking Fu Wangning up, Old Master Fu felt he might have been overthinking.

After exchanging a few messages with Fu Youhan, Jiang Moxi hadn’t been waiting for a reply, which felt quite unpleasant.

So, she decided to go out and find something to do.

But she ended up running into Si Lin on the busy street, and the scene was far from attractive.

A fashionably dressed girl in a delicate CL suit and ten-centimeter heels was chasing after Si Lin.

"Just because I won’t hit or scold you, you suddenly want to break up with me? What kind of reasoning is that?"

"You can’t do anything, what use do I have for you?" Si Lin was resolute.

The girl was even more furious, and as she saw Si Lin about to get into his car, she hurriedly tugged at his hand without letting go.

"Then you had better tell me, why should I hit or scold you? It’s absurd!"

Jiang Moxi had been amused by the spectacle, but she never expected to be caught up in the midst of this couple’s breakup battle.

Because Si Lin, while trying to shake off the girl’s hand in irritation, suddenly caught sight of Jiang Moxi not far away.

She was dressed in a black down jacket, wearing slim-fit pants.

The most unremarkable outfit on the street became an unsurpassable classic on her, instantly turning the surrounding scenery into her backdrop.

At that moment, Si Lin felt as if the overcast sky had suddenly brightened considerably.

"You don’t need to hit or scold me anymore!" Si Lin suddenly revealed a wicked smile to Jiang Moxi. freewёbnoνel-com

His voice wasn’t deliberately lowered, so not only did the girl in front of him hear it, but even Jiang Moxi, who was standing not far away, heard it, causing her lips to twitch visibly.

But Si Lin was already striding towards her and, very impolitely, placed his hand on Jiang Moxi’s shoulder right in front of that girl.

"Help me out!"

"I won’t help! I don’t owe you anything!" Jiang Moxi directly shook off Si Lin’s hand.

But Si Lin suddenly leaned into Jiang Moxi’s ear and said, "Luoxia has been admitted to a mental hospital."

Jiang Moxi shot him a glance, her voice icy: "Dare you send me there, and I’ll break your damn legs!"

Si Lin gritted his teeth: "I’m saying I sent her there, to vent your anger!"

It was only then that Jiang Moxi seriously looked at Si Lin, "Why is it that you always resort to this one trick!"

Every time he wanted her help, he made it seem like she owed him a favor!

Si Lin looked at the girl’s face, her nose reddened from the cold, radiantly charming yet coquettish, feeling as if the wild beast caged within his heart was about to break free from his control.

He hastily turned his face away, glancing at the girl approaching them quickly, and whispered, "As long as it works. Just help me. You don’t have to say anything, I will do the talking."

In her annoyance, Jiang Moxi noticed the other girl almost poking her finger in her face, "Who is she, and why are you standing so close?"

"Let’s get to know each other. This is my new girlfriend Jiang Moxi. And this is Liu Nan, my ex-girlfriend."

As soon as Si Lin finished speaking, Liu Nan’s eyes instantly reddened.

"How come I’m suddenly the ex-girlfriend? Did you cheat on me? Was I not good to you? How could you treat me this way?"

"Who the hell wants you to be good to me? I like her cold-heartedness!"

Si Lin had barely finished speaking when Jiang Moxi kicked him without any courtesy, "Can you speak properly? Who’s cold-hearted?"

Si Lin almost fell to his knees from the kick, his face contorting in pain, "I’m cold-hearted, okay?"

Liu Nan wasn’t stupid. Although Si Lin was contorting his face in pain, his eyes were filled with indulgence for Jiang Moxi.

So she was certain that Si Lin truly had feelings for this vixen.

"How dare you steal my man? You just wait, Jiang Moxi!"

After giving Jiang Moxi a fierce glare, Liu Nan stormed off.

Her high heels clacked against the pavement, as if her rage was about to pierce through the ground.

"You’ve stirred up a whole mess for me again!" After watching Liu Nan leave, Jiang Moxi dropped these words and continued walking forward.

Si Lin could only follow her while holding his sore knee.

"Where are you going? Why are you wandering around alone during the New Year holidays?"

"It’s none of your business!" Jiang Moxi didn’t even turn her head as she walked.

Si Lin stared at her long hair reaching her waist, dancing in the wind, and suddenly spoke again.

"If you’re too bored, how about I take you to see someone!"

"Who?"

"Yu Dingding!"

Jiang Moxi was indifferent, even thinking that no matter whose name Si Lin mentioned, she wouldn’t go with him.

But upon hearing Si Lin’s words, she immediately turned around.

"What happened to Dingding?"

Finally, Si Lin saw a different kind of emotion in Jiang Moxi’s eyes, which were always calm when facing him.

So he told Jiang Moxi, "She’s hurt, wandering on the streets like a stray dog."

Jiang Moxi’s eyes narrowed at once.
