The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Chapter 122

"Third Young Master..."

An Xueluo was clearly delighted to see Fu Youhan.

Her delicately made-up face showed a coy look with flirtatious eyes, and her cheeks were tinged with pink.

But as she entered the private room, the atmosphere became even more eerie.

"I heard from a friend that you’ve been hanging around Night Color recently, so I thought I’d try my luck. I didn’t expect to really see you here."

A few months ago, An Xueluo was performing in restaurants, wearing high imitation clothes from Taobao, deliberately creating an aura of elegance and nobility typical of an artist.

But now, she was clad in genuine luxury goods, and her elegance and confidence seemed to emanate from her very bones.

And all of this was given to her by Fu Youhan.

So even though she knew this man now relied on a wheelchair, An Xueluo couldn’t help but gradually admire him in her heart.

During this time, she had been eagerly hoping to meet this man again.

But every time she tried to contact him through Assistant Chi, she was rejected.

She found out Fu Youhan was at Night Color tonight by chance.

And because she had been rejected several times already, An Xueluo didn’t hold much hope.

Unexpectedly, it really happened...

Seeing this man again, watching him wear expensive designer clothes and exuding extraordinary charisma with every gesture, An Xueluo felt truly captivated, completely conquered by this man’s wealth and looks.

But after she greeted him, the man gave no response, didn’t even lift his head to look at her, which was quite embarrassing for her.

An Xueluo could only try to start another conversation to attract his attention.

"Are these two your friends? Hello, my name is An Xueluo."

An Xueluo smiled as she greeted Ye Chen and Yu Dingding.

But Ye Chen just gave her a sardonic smile, then said to Fu Youhan: "Are you trying to personally brew a rivalry between women?"

At that moment, An Xueluo wondered, if Ye Chen’s mention of a women’s rivalry involved her, who might the other woman be?

Her gaze immediately fell on Yu Dingding, but saw Ye Chen’s arm nonchalantly slung over Yu Dingding’s shoulders dismissively.

So, the other person probably wasn’t Yu Dingding.

Then An Xueluo looked at Jiang Moxi and was suddenly taken aback.

She had earlier ignored Jiang Moxi, mistaking her for a mere waitress because of the uniform.

But now she realized that this waitress was stunningly beautiful, almost ethereally so, as if she were a celestial being not of this world.

Just as she was stunned by Jiang Moxi’s astonishing beauty, Jiang Moxi dropped a line: "Let me know if you need anything else, I guess there’s nothing for me here now."

Jiang Moxi left swiftly, but it left Fu Youhan’s gaze chillingly sinister.

"Do you think they can really rival each other?" Fu Youhan coldly glanced at Ye Chen.

Thus, Ye Chen realized that his good friend was on the weaker side in his interaction with Jiang Moxi!

At this time, An Xueluo also realized the awkwardness of her situation.

Yet she still saw this as a good opportunity to get closer to Fu Youhan.

Even if it meant being misunderstood by Fu Youhan as having shared a beautiful night together, An Xueluo could rebound from rock bottom, and even her wish to perform for Master Jhiang’s piano concert could be fulfilled.

So now, An Xueluo had even grander plans—to become Fu Youhan’s woman.

By doing so, she would indeed turn into a phoenix rising from the ashes.

But as An Xueluo dreamt of soaring as a phoenix, the man’s cold rebuke abruptly plunged her from the clouds into the abyss.

"You can leave once you’re done speaking!"

Fu Youhan’s cold words, especially the icy look in his eyes that landed on An Xueluo, felt like a knife stabbing into her heart, dulling her with pain.

However, An Xueluo quickly concealed any inappropriate expressions that appeared on her face.

"I just came to say thank you, thank you for making it possible for me and Master Jhiang to perform together on stage."

She knew that people like Fu Youhan were definitely hard to conquer, and one needs patience to wait for cracks to appear before seizing his heart.

Therefore, from the start, she had no plans to climb into Fu Youhan’s bed and become his cherished favorite today.

Seeing that the man was clearly getting impatient, An Xueluo continued, "Alright, I’ve conveyed my gratitude, now I won’t disturb Third Young Master and your friend from enjoying your gathering."

After bidding farewell to Fu Youhan, An Xueluo did not forget to nod in acknowledgment to Ye Chen and Yu Dingding before she left.

An Xueluo came quickly and left quickly, staying less than ten minutes in total.

But that ten minutes worsened the already unpleasant atmosphere inside the private room.

Upon her departure, Fu Youhan downed two glasses of strong liquor.

Seeing this, Ye Chen hugged Yu Dingding and kissed her, "Baby, go get me a box of cigars."

Yu Dingding knew that Ye Chen didn’t like to smoke cigars; it wasn’t so much that he suddenly took an interest in cigars, as much as he wanted to send her away.

Thus, without asking further, Yu Dingding left the private room.

Once Yu Dingding was gone, Ye Chen smirked and asked Fu Youhan.

"Did you help that beauty secure Jhiang Heting? Planning to add her to your harem?"

Fu Youhan showed no interest in answering that question and continued drinking.

But Ye Chen was someone who could keep talking by himself.

"That beauty seems to have a nice temperament and knows how to advance and retreat gracefully, she seems good at cheering people up. Might be nice to switch things up with her when little Moxi annoys you."

This comment finally made Fu Youhan shoot him a cold glance: "Don’t compare me with you! Always buzzing with a swarm of flies around."

Ye Chen got annoyed, "What kind of comparison is that? Each of my ’flies’ is a carefully selected beauty, looks like we can’t continue this conversation today."

Once Yu Dingding left the private room, she went straight to find Jiang Moxi.

Jiang Moxi was in the staff lounge, leaning against the window, looking out at the distant city lights.

"Moxi, that woman said that Third Master Fu helped her secure a spot to perform at Jhiang Heting’s piano recital, so she specifically came to show her gratitude. She has left after she conveyed her thanks."

Yu Dingding straightforwardly informed Jiang Moxi about this.

Jiang Moxi turned around and smiled faintly at Yu Dingding, "Thank you."

Even though Jiang Moxi was smiling, Yu Dingding felt that her smile, facing the cold breeze of early winter, carried a hint of sadness.

So, Yu Dingding suggested, "If it upsets you, how about we go beat her up? Let her learn that messing with someone else’s man comes with a price. She shouldn’t have gone far!"

Jiang Moxi was amused by Yu Dingding’s words and chuckled for a moment before her gaze returned to the distant lights, her voice turning ethereal.

"Actually, our problem isn’t with that person. Even if she really is Third Master Fu’s woman, I can’t control that."

She and Fu Youhan never planned to be together for a lifetime.

So even if she discovered he had another woman, she could only wait until their one-year agreement ended.

And even without the appearance of this woman, Jiang Moxi had planned to temporarily separate from Fu Youhan for a few days, to prevent herself from truly falling in love and sinking into an abyss with no salvation.

Now everything was moving in the direction she had hoped.

But why does her heart still hurt?
