The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 129

Chapter 129: Chapter 129

At the same time, Ye Chen was idly sitting with Yu Dingding in the nighttime ambiance.

Even when sitting together with Ye Chen, Yu Dingding didn’t forget to contact some high-society figures of Yan City through her mobile phone, casually chatting with them and asking them to spare some time to show their support.

Tonight, neither Fu Youhan nor Jiang Moxi made it, and the other brothers were also occupied.

Feeling extremely lonely, Ye Chen grabbed Yu Dingding’s hair and said with a smile, "Baby, chat with me."

Yu Dingding didn’t even lift her head, focusing on replying to messages: "I’m busy."

"Why are you busy? You enjoy your conversations with others, and here I am all alone. Alas, it seems I’m just a fish in your pond."

The more Ye Chen spoke, the more pitiful he sounded, resulting in Yu Dingding giving him a cold glance.

"Putting on so much drama? Isn’t it you who instructed me earlier, to engage with those big bosses more heartily and have them come here to spend money?"

Ye Chen was petrified on the spot.

He indeed remembered such an episode.

But that all happened when Yu Dingding had just arrived in Yan City and he didn’t care much about her.

Now, hearing Yu Dingding mention these matters, he suddenly felt rather distressed.

Letting his sweetheart mingle with other big bosses here felt more and more like he was lining up to be cuckolded.

Ye Chen began to ponder whether or not to pull Yu Dingding out of the Night Color.

If she didn’t have to deal with these demons and monsters every day, it would also eliminate the possibility of him being cuckolded. Just then, his phone buzzed with a new message.

It was sent by his rascal friends in the chat group.

The message mentioned that a high-end Japanese restaurant seemed to have had a severe incident tonight, with several waitstaff taken away and the owner of the restaurant gone missing.

Seeing the name of the restaurant, Ye Chen was startled.

Wasn’t this the restaurant that Jiang Moxi had just called Fu Youhan to go to?

"Could something really have happened?" Ye Chen looked at the discussion unfolding among his friends in the chat and suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Who had an accident?" Yu Dingding rarely took a moment to ask Ye Chen.

Knowing the close relationship between Yu Dingding and Jiang Moxi, he didn’t want her to worry needlessly before getting concrete information.

So, he vaguely told Yu Dingding, "Someone you don’t know."

"Oh!" Yu Dingding thought that since she didn’t know them, it didn’t matter.

And so, she picked another big boss from her contact list to connect with.

After brushing off Yu Dingding, Ye Chen hurriedly called Fu Youhan.

However, puzzlingly, Fu Youhan’s phone was switched off!

Ye Chen, unable to quench his raging gossip flames, had an especially tough night!

After receiving the news of Bu Xin’s mishap, the Bu family instantly tried to contact Fu Youhan.

But Fu Youhan’s phone was off.

Having no choice, the Bu family could only turn to Si Lin, who had the power to contend with the situation.

By this time, Si Lin was at another entertainment venue, with two fair-skinned, beautiful "leg models" sitting by his side.

Suddenly Yuan Zhou pushed open the private room door and came over, informing Si Lin.

"Young Master Si, the Bu Family Patriarch is asking for your help to retrieve Bu Xin from Third Master Fu, saying that as long as you can ensure Bu Xin comes out alive, they will unconditionally gift you the land by the moat."

The Bu family received the news because Chi Jing had let the word out.

Fu Youhan had made it clear, even if Bu Xin died, the rest of the Bu family should not get off easily.

Si Lin had no clue about any of this, but he was indeed quite interested in that piece of land by the moat.

So, he took a drag of his cigarette and asked Yuan Zhou, "How did Bu Xin anger the Third Young Master?"

To the point of having someone killed, it seemed like a deep grudge.

"The Bu Family is being vague and unclear; they didn’t explain properly. But it seems to be related to Jiang Moxi..."

Yuan Zhou’s words made Si Lin’s hand holding the wine glass visibly tighten.

"Go find out what exactly happened."

"Yes," Yuan Zhou quickly complied.

Seeing Si Lin in a bad mood, the two hangers-on beside him tried various ways to cheer him up.

But those overly intimate touches only made Si Lin feel disgusted and repelled.

"Get out, don’t bother me!"

The hangers-on were driven out of the private room when Yuan Zhou came back to tell him.

"They said Bu Xin was eating at a Japanese restaurant with Jiang Moxi and Third Master Fu found out. Third Master Fu had someone take him to his private forest."

What Third Master Fu keeps in his private forest is something most Yan City people have heard of.

Even the older generation would repeatedly warn their children not to get near that forest.

So if Si Lin refuses to help Bu Xin tonight, it’s easy to imagine what will become of him.

"Just eating a meal managed to anger Third Master Fu so much? The Bu Family must be treating me like a three-year-old to deceive!"

Si Lin’s ending tone was mocking, as if he was disdainful of the world, but it sounded more like he was issuing a death warrant.

What type of person Bu Xin is, people in the circle are all too aware.

There were quite a few women who had been played to death by him.

So, it’s definitely not as simple as just having a meal with Jiang Moxi.

He must have hurt Jiang Moxi, and that’s what caused Fu Youhan to become so enraged!

At this moment, what flashed through Si Lin’s mind was the warmth of Jiang Moxi’s body when she hugged him during the elevator malfunction, and her soft comforting words...

So, was she hurt?

How serious is it?

All of this was making Si Lin’s anger soar.

Yuan Zhou was about to respond to Si Lin, but his phone rang again.

Upon seeing the caller display, he told Si Lin: "It’s the Bu Family Patriarch again. Probably urging you to come."

Si Lin heavily put the wine glass down on the table, then said in a cold voice: "Answer it, I’ll talk to him personally."

Yuan Zhou immediately followed Si Lin’s instructions, answered the phone, and handed it to Si Lin.

"Young Master Yuan, please do us a favor and contact Young Master Si quickly. If it’s any later, I’m afraid Bu Xin will be dead," the Bu Family Patriarch said.

At that moment, Si Lin let out a light snort and said, "Don’t tell me that you don’t know the shitty things your son does outside."

It took the Bu Family Patriarch quite a while to realize he was talking to Si Lin himself. He hurriedly said:

"Young Master Si, that’s great, finally got in touch with you in person. If you help Bu Xin this time, our Bu Family will absolutely be at your disposal in the future..."

But Si Lin cut him off before he could finish speaking.

"But you probably don’t know, getting in touch with me personally means I’ll only add fuel to the fire. If Bu Xin was taken by Third Master Fu to his private forest, then I might as well topple your Bu Family."

Si Lin’s tone was casual, and he even had a deep smile.

But these words scared the Bu Family Patriarch considerably.

"Young Master Si, our Bu Family has never offended you before, even if you don’t help us, there’s no need to kick us while we’re down, right?"

Now the Bu Family was already struggling to withstand Third Master Fu.

If Si Lin also gets involved, do they still have a way out?

But Si Lin asked back with a laugh: "It’s true that you haven’t offended me. But do you know who ate with Bu Xin today?"

The Bu Family Patriarch was about to mention Jiang Moxi and also speak about the deal between Bu Xin and Jiang Tairan.

But Si Lin didn’t wait for him to speak and continued: "Jiang Moxi, my girlfriend!"
