The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 102

Chapter 102: Chapter 102

The next day, when the sun was three rods high, Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi finally came out of their room.

Unexpectedly, Ye Chen and Yu Dingding were even later than them.

By the time Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi had finished lunch, Ye Chen finally arrived late with Yu Dingding.

"Sorry, we played too hard last night and slept very deeply."

The smile on Ye Chen’s face was a bit too languid, like a lion after a full meal.

Jiang Moxi also noticed that there were obvious red marks on Yu Dingding’s neck, which made her suspect that something inappropriate for children might have happened between them last night.

But Yu Dingding pointed to the red marks on her neck and denied first: "It’s a dog bite, don’t stare anymore."

At that moment, Ye Chen couldn’t help but laugh: "Babe, it’s one thing you’re not giving it to me, but calling me a dog? You really have no morals!"

However, Yu Dingding didn’t look upset at all, and simply said: "Once the money is paid, you can call me whatever you want."

Looking at it, Yu Dingding seemed no different from those who are thick-skinned; as if the person who cried last night wasn’t her.

Ye Chen fiercely pinched her cheek, "I really don’t know which version of you is the real one!"

In the end, he still transferred fifty million to Yu Dingding.

"Thanks boss, I wish you have a third child after the second."

Upon hearing the payment notification on Alipay, Yu Dingding felt quite relieved.

"No offspring yet, why don’t you have one for me?" Ye Chen always took the opportunity to tease Yu Dingding.

The two of them soon started flirting and joking just like they usually did in the Night Color private room.

Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi, however, were very calm.

Other than pushing a small plate of cookies towards Jiang Moxi after she finished lunch, Fu Youhan did nothing else.

Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn’t help but tease: "Xiao Moxi, you even have dark circles. Brother Han made you so tired, and you let him off with just a plate of cookies?"

Jiang Moxi knew that Ye Chen was typically someone who after getting wet himself, would want to tear others’ umbrellas, so she decided not to bother with him.

But Fu Youhan said: "I did want to give her money, but she wouldn’t allow it."

He was telling the truth, but for some reason, Jiang Moxi felt there was a hint of bragging in his tone.

Even Ye Chen couldn’t help but snort lightly: "When it comes to bragging, Brother Han is the expert."

But Ye Chen still couldn’t help asking Jiang Moxi, "Why don’t you take his money? His wealth won’t run out even over several lifetimes, and if you don’t take it, it will just benefit his descendants."

At that moment, Fu Youhan also narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Jiang Moxi.

She had refused his money privately, so he wanted to see what she would say openly.

But instead of answering, Jiang Moxi counter-asked, "Young Master Ye must not have done many good deeds, right?"

Ye Chen, puzzled, thought seriously for a moment: "I have done some!"

"Like what?" Jiang Moxi pressed.

Ye Chen replied: "Helping an old grandma jaywalk!"

As soon as Ye Chen said this, Yu Dingding couldn’t hold back her laughter: "Did the grandma praise you, saying you have a heart of a cruel judge?"

Ye Chen awkwardly smiled: "No, she just asked me if I was White Impermanence."

Then, all four of them laughed.

Fu Youhan was laughing too, but his gaze still fixed on Jiang Moxi.

Going round and round, Ye Chen’s question was once again skillfully dodged by her!

Therefore, he had to admit, this woman appeared pure and stunning, but her mind was as shrewd as his, which inexplicably frustrated him...

In a blink, the pleasant weekend getaway ended in the evening, and all four of them returned to Yan City.

Fu Youhan sneaked a break for two days, and after returning, he was immediately called away on the phone.

Ye Chen then casually granted Jiang Moxi a paid leave for one evening, saying she had the hard task of taking care of Third Master Fu for two days.

And so, Jiang Moxi returned to Tianqin Bay.

With Fu Youhan not around, she took the opportunity to finish modifying the data she started last time.

Just then, a new message from Jing Yan, the Scavenger, popped up on her phone: "Dead Ghost, I’m surrounded! Come support me quickly!"

Below that was the location information sent by Jing Yan.

Jiang Moxi quickly rummaged through her backpack, put on some casual clothes, and rushed to the location as fast as she could.

It was a large shopping mall located on the busiest section of Yan City, bustling with people during the evening rush hour.

After entering the mall, Jiang Moxi found a restroom to change into her casual clothes.

When she emerged from the restroom, she was now wearing a dark green hoodie.

She pulled the hood over her head, her delicate features and silver fringe on her forehead only vaguely visible from the side.

Upon entering the mall, the first thing she did was send a message to locate Jing Yan.

Jing Yan quickly replied, and the two soon met up in the fresh produce section.

However, when Jiang Moxi saw Jing Yan, she noticed two men following him, pretending to select groceries but actually keeping a watchful eye on Jing Yan.

Their movements and the way they carried themselves suggested they were trained.

But for two trained men, escape would be too easy for someone with Jing Yan’s skills.

As Jiang Moxi pondered, she noticed the sudden increase of people in the produce section.

These people, like the two men before, kept a covert watch on Jing Yan as they entered the area.

So, were all these people together?

It looked like the mall might have been surrounded by their people.

And now, they seemed to be planning to capture Jing Yan, ensuring a foolproof operation...

But she wouldn’t let anyone harm Jing Yan, even if she had to risk her own life, she wouldn’t let the incident at Feng Ming happen again.

Jiang Moxi immediately exchanged a look with Jing Yan, signaling him to head towards the mall’s big floor-to-ceiling windows.

Jing Yan, having collaborated with Jiang Moxi for many years, understood her signal and swiftly moved in that direction.

Seeing Jing Yan start to move, those people immediately followed.

As they rapidly closed in on Jing Yan, Jiang Moxi suddenly kicked an adjacent live fish tank.

The tank was immediately breached, fish and water spilling out together, soaking the floor.

The two people closest to Jing Yan slipped on the fish: one fell, and the other was tripped by his companion.

"Not good, he’s got backup! Quickly, regroup!"

The approaching people, hearing one of their own shout, all rushed towards Jing Yan and Jiang Moxi.

Jiang Moxi instantly smashed a few more fish tanks, tripping several people.

Throughout their escape towards the large windows, Jiang Moxi and Jing Yan fought off the remaining group.

At this moment, Fu Youhan rushed over.

"Third Master, the Scavenger is over there. He has brought an accomplice and they are fighting with our people..."

"An accomplice?" Fu Youhan immediately remembered something, quickly turning towards the direction pointed out by his subordinate.

Soon, he saw two individuals in red and green hoodies, fighting with his men.

The man in the red hoodie, Fu Youhan couldn’t see his face, but from past encounters, he knew it was the Scavenger.

As for the person in the green hoodie, Fu Youhan couldn’t see his face either, but he caught a glimpse of the silver hair under the hoodie.

At that moment, Fu Youhan’s heart felt like it was about to leap out of his throat.

That signature silver hair, it was... Dead Ghost!

It was him!

He was still alive!
