The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 115

Chapter 115: Chapter 115

In the evening, Fu Youhan arrived at the Ling Family home as agreed.

He didn’t just bring a batch of fresh seafood ingredients, but also two chefs.

"Your mom definitely won’t be home tonight, so I brought chefs over to cook dinner, and incidentally to prepare these ingredients and store them in the fridge for you guys."

As soon as Fu Youhan had finished speaking, Ling Hua cheerfully shouted, "Long live Uncle!"

"No need for a long life; how’s your study progress recently?"

Fu Youhan’s question immediately made Ling Hua somewhat sheepish as she glanced towards Jiang Moxi: "It should be okay, I guess."

So, Fu Youhan’s gaze naturally fell upon Jiang Moxi.

It’s not known whether it was due to the excessive memories of the previous night, but Jiang Moxi felt that even Fu Youhan’s casual glance was making her ears smoke.

Jiang Moxi quickly avoided the man’s gaze, "Let me show you the test she did today."

Jiang Moxi turned around to get the papers, and Fu Youhan naturally maneuvered his wheelchair to follow her.

Right now, Ling Hua had her mind entirely on the dinner menu and was following the chefs around in the kitchen.

Ling Ye, meanwhile, was busy helping Chi Jing transport the seafood foam boxes, and wasn’t concerned with these matters.

Thus, only Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan were left, one in front of the other, entering Ling Hua’s room.

When Jiang Moxi handed Fu Youhan the exam paper that Ling Hua had just finished that afternoon, Fu Youhan took the opportunity to pull her, causing her to fall into his lap.

Even though they’ve been more intimate than this in the past, this was still the Ling household, and Jiang Moxi was worried about being seen by Ling Ye and Ling Hua.

"It’ll be troublesome if they see us later."

She was so anxious that her entire face was flushed red, trying to struggle free and stand up properly.

But Fu Youhan held onto her waist without letting go and spoke playfully into her ear, "It’s fine, Huahua is a foodie; she’ll be preoccupied with the king crab for a while. Xiao Ye still has to help Chi Jing with a lot of things and won’t have the time to come in."

This person had intricately figured out the whole situation, but Jiang Moxi was still uneasy, "That’s still not okay; this isn’t home after all."

Perhaps the sudden mention of "home" pleased him, as the arc of Fu Youhan’s lips became more pronounced.

"Do you feel okay? Does it still hurt?" He still held onto Jiang Moxi’s waist, but his voice contained a hint of apology.

Jiang Moxi understood at once what this man was actually concerned about.

Someone had been ruthless the previous night, with each action being very heavy-handed, to the point where later she was crying out in pain before he finally showed mercy.

So was this person worried that he was too harsh on her last night, and that’s why he specially inquired about her whereabouts today and came to bring her tasty treats to make her happy?

Jiang Moxi didn’t answer for a long time, and Fu Youhan added, "If it still hurts, we should go to the hospital."

As he spoke, Fu Youhan really maneuvered his wheelchair, carrying her towards the door.

Jiang Moxi quickly jumped down, "No need, I’m already fine."

Going to the hospital for that kind of thing, how would others view her?

"Really?" The man’s gaze still fixed tightly on her.

"Yeah. Really!" Jiang Moxi nodded several times.

Seeing Jiang Moxi so unusually obedient made the corners of Fu Youhan’s lips rise again, "I’ll be gentler tonight."

So he still wanted more tonight?

Although it wasn’t a novel occurrence, mentioning it in someone else’s place made Jiang Moxi feel extremely embarrassed.

Just as this moment, Ling Ye finished moving things and came in to check on Fu Youhan.

"Uncle, do you want tea or coffee? I’ll go make some!"

But after coming in, he felt that the atmosphere between Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan was strangely awkward.

"What’s going on?"

Ling Ye saw Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan, one standing and one sitting at least a meter apart, but their interactions looked somewhat odd.

Where was the oddness?

Ling Ye noticed Jiang Moxi’s face, redder than a cooked shrimp, and suddenly realized the strangeness was because Jiang Moxi had a crush on his uncle!

Just look at her, getting all worked up discussing Ling Hua’s grades alone with his uncle.

If she really got her way, she’d probably faint!

But thinking about it, Ling Ye still didn’t think Jiang Moxi could succeed, considering how picky his uncle was.

At that moment, Fu Youhan’s voice drew Ling Ye’s attention.

"It’s nothing, Moxi asked me to look at Huahua’s test paper from today, and it seems she got seventy to eighty percent of it right."

Fu Youhan had been holding Ling Hua’s paper in his hand all this time, which now proved to be useful.

His seemingly serious comment made Ling Ye hurry to take a closer look: "She really got a lot right! Was she possessed today?"

This sudden surge in effort and the accuracy of the answers—it didn’t seem like Ling Hua.

But as soon as Ling Ye finished speaking, he got a knock on the head from Fu Youhan: "The credit goes to good teaching."

Hearing this, Jiang Moxi couldn’t help but quietly look at Fu Youhan, and they exchanged a smile...

During dinner, the chef prepared several dishes with king crab and tuna, which looked both colorful and appetizing.

In addition, the chef had opened a bottle of white wine.

Jiang Moxi was about to refuse when the chef was offering to pour her wine.

After all, she still had toxins in her body that hadn’t been cleared out. If she drank and made a fool of herself here, it would be the end.

But Fu Youhan said, "A little is no problem, I’ll drive you back safely later."

With Fu Youhan’s words, Jiang Moxi felt reassured and didn’t refuse anymore.

However, Ling Hua, after hearing Fu Youhan’s offer, glanced back and forth between the two.

She was puzzled—since when did her uncle offer to drive someone home?

While Ling Ye thought his uncle was simply being considerate, seeing a girl traveling alone at night wasn’t safe; offering her a ride was very normal!

But he also worried that his uncle’s gentlemanly behavior might make Jiang Moxi fall even deeper.

Ah, how should he rescue Jiang Moxi?

When the chef was about to leave after pouring the wine, Fu Youhan suddenly instructed: "Bring up a few forks, it’ll make eating the crab easier."

So the chef fetched the forks.

The first fork Fi Youhan took, he passed to Jiang Moxi.

After taking it, she directly went for the crab legs as thick as one’s arm.

Then the chef handed another fork to Fu Youhan, and this time he began to eat as well.

Ling Hua happened to catch the moment when Fu Youhan handed a fork to Jiang Moxi, blinking curiously.

But upon observing Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi carefully, she noticed they were eating separately, without any interaction.

Thus, Ling Hua pulled her gaze back and also started enjoying the crab legs she had been longing for...

By the time the four of them finished dinner, it was close to nine o’clock at night.

When Ling Ye escorted Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi out, he took the opportunity to quietly remind Jiang Moxi, "Really, don’t fall any deeper. My uncle would never like you."

But what he didn’t know was that his uncle, who supposedly would never like Jiang Moxi, wrapped his arm around Jiang Moxi’s waist as soon as she got into the car...
