The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 274
Chapter 274: Chapter 274
In the following two days, Jiang Moxi had still not seen Fu Youhan.
Fu Youhan also didn’t send Jiang Moxi any messages, let alone call her.
Jiang Moxi had thought about calling him several times to ask what this man was doing and why their relationship had suddenly turned cold!
But after hesitating several times, she never made the call.
The two were like engaging in a silent tug-of-war, secretly competing to see who would soften first.
In this tug-of-war, Fu Youhan’s feelings were not much better than Jiang Moxi’s.
He spent several days killing time in Night Color.
Just so happened that Ye Chen had been playing the role of an exemplary son-in-law in front of Yu Dingding and Yu Tongshu, and had not appeared in Night Color.
Thus, he could only get drunk every day and instruct Chi Jing to drag him back to his other properties.
Every day, waking up not in Tianqin Bay, Fu Youhan would check his phone first thing to see if there were any messages or missed calls from Jiang Moxi.
But there were none.
Jiang Moxi had not reached out to him even once.
This discovery made Fu Youhan irritably throw his phone away every time.
In her heart, were they not even considered a real couple, much less ordinary lovers?
That’s why she disdained his jealousy and didn’t care about his not returning home at night?
Really, this was the first time in Fu Youhan’s life he felt so irritable, yet he still wanted to see Jiang Moxi.
For this purpose, he specifically instructed Chi Jing to detour to the front of the Technical College entrance while on the way to Night Color.
He didn’t know why he still so desperately wanted to see her after she had made him so unhappy, but he did it anyway.
But Fu Youhan never expected to see, right at the gate of the Technical College, Jiang Moxi and Su Yan chatting and laughing as they walked out together.
The scholar-like Su Yan and Jiang Moxi walking together in the campus created a fresh and pleasing scene.
At that moment, Fu Youhan’s lips tightened, and his eyes gradually began to turn red.
That sinister gaze brimming with coldness also made Chi Jing, sitting in the driver’s seat, feel as if there were needles growing on his leather seat.
"Third Young Master, shall I get out and tell Miss Jiang to come to the car to see you?"
Chi Jing suggested, not wanting to stay in this dangerous storm center.
"No need, her heart has followed someone else, what use is her body coming here?"
The usually cold demeanor of Fu Youhan had now turned sinister and aggressive.
Just as Chi Jing was pondering how to alert Jiang Moxi to come and rescue the situation, he heard the man in the backseat command coldly: "Drive."
Chi Jing hesitantly asked, "Not waiting for Miss Jiang?"
Through the rear-view mirror, Fu Youhan sneered coldly at Chi Jing: "Do you think she will come? Drive!"
The man’s low tone contained a dangerous aura, leaving Chi Jing no choice but to dare not ask further, swiftly starting the car and directly taking Fu Youhan to Night Color...
On the other side, Jiang Moxi faintly noticed the car that sped past just now seemed to be the one Fu Youhan often used, and she gave it a few more glances.
But the car was moving too fast, quickly blending into the traffic, and Jiang Moxi was not sure if it was Fu Youhan’s car.
However, she thought it couldn’t be Fu Youhan’s car.
After all, that man had been deliberately avoiding her these days, how could he possibly go to great lengths to run into her at the Technical College.
The more she thought, the more Jiang Moxi felt it was ridiculous that she had thought Fu Youhan had come for her, even feeling a bit elated at the moment, and couldn’t help but snort lightly at herself.
Su Yan, just catching Jiang Moxi’s self-mocking smile, couldn’t help asking, "What’s the matter?"
"There’s nothing much, but if you can’t find those books, come and ask me for them."
Jiang Moxi withdrew those inappropriate expressions and said to Su Yan.
Yesterday, during a casual chat, Su Yan learned that Jiang Moxi had been recommended for a position at the National Security Department, and her skills had been self-taught, piquing his interest.
He teaches subjects related to information technology at First University and is currently preparing a paper on this topic.
So after finishing today’s lesson, he specifically sought out Jiang Moxi to ask which books she had read.
He planned to compile them and include them in his paper, to facilitate reference for his students in the future.
Naturally, such academic exchanges were something Jiang Moxi could not easily refuse; hence, she told Su Yan all the names of the books she had read.
However, many of the books she had read were out of print and hard to find on the market, so she told Su Yan this.
Su Yan thanked her repeatedly and wanted to invite Jiang Moxi for dinner.
But Jiang Moxi said, "I still have some things to take care of."
She did not say that they could have dinner another time, leaving no chance for a follow-up, which somewhat led Su Yan to guess that she was refusing to date him.
Thus, Su Yan could only let it go, thinking that he would wait for a future interaction when Jiang Moxi was less averse to him, and then invite her to dinner again...

As usual, on Saturday evening, Fu Youhan had Chi Jing drive him to Night Color.
Chi Jing did not start the car immediately but asked him, "Aren’t you attending Miss Jiang’s celebration party tonight?"
"Celebration party?" Fu Youhan quickly remembered the previous discussion at the Ling Family, where Ling Ye and Ling Hua had suggested throwing a celebration party for Jiang Moxi.
Chi Jing said, "Miss Fu is organizing it; she couldn’t reach you on your phone, so she called me." freewebnσvel.cѳm
These past few days of cold war with Jiang Moxi were most agonizing for Chi Jing, who had to follow Fu Youhan everywhere.
So Chi Jing was the one most hoping that this celebration party would eliminate the estrangement between Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi.
Yet, he did not expect that after Fu Youhan, meeting his eyes in the rearview mirror, a hint of coldness condensed at his brow: "Not going."
Jiang Moxi was so stingy that she didn’t even send him an invitation, probably not wanting to see him at the party.
Being proud and arrogant by nature, how could he allow himself to be put in such a frustrating position?
"I’ll call Miss Fu back then."
Chi Jing’s face showed no change in expression, but he felt bitter inside.
It seemed the conflict between Third Master Fu and Miss Jiang wouldn’t be resolved anytime soon, and he had to continue enduring this low pressure.
Just as Chi Jing was about to use his phone, he heard Fu Youhan ask, "Who else was invited to her celebration party?"
Chi Jing glanced twice at the guest list prepared by Fu Wangning, then reported, "Ling Ye and Ling Hua, Young Master Ye, Young Master Fu. And... Su Yan and Young Master Si are also on the list."
When mentioning the last two names, Chi Jing felt the menacing killing intent emanating from the seat behind him.
"Being quite proactive sending invitations to others," a chillingly harsh voice, like venom, spilled from his thin lips.
Chi Jing thought to say that this might be Miss Fu’s unilateral arrangement and unrelated to Miss Jiang.
Considering someone’s overt murderous intent, Chi Jing didn’t want to add fuel to the fire, deciding it was safer to keep quiet and save himself.
Fu Youhan maintained a handsome, composed face, but the constant influx of light and shadow from outside the car window only made his deep, cold-lake-like eyes appear somewhat sinister.
He indeed wanted to stick to the principle that if Jiang Moxi did not invite him personally, he wouldn’t attend the celebration party.
However, the thought of Jiang Moxi happily chatting and drinking with Si Lin and Su Yan at the party ultimately made it impossible for him to adhere to his principle.
"Go to the party."
The man’s tone was piercingly cold, his narrow eyes filled with gloom.
