The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 131

Chapter 131: Chapter 131

"What’s wrong, does it still hurt?" Fu Youhan saw that Jiang Moxi didn’t respond, so he lowered his head to take a closer look at her.

To his surprise, a rosy blush was quietly creeping up the fair cheeks of the girl.

Her eyes, which were already clear and untainted by the slightest dust, now held a hint of shyness, fully revealing her enchanting demeanor.

Fu Youhan kept staring at Jiang Moxi, as if his gaze couldn’t be moved away from her no matter what.

Whether it was because his eyes were too intense, or the desire expressed in his pupils was too direct, Jiang Moxi couldn’t resist turning her face away.

"It doesn’t hurt anymore."

The soft whisper from Jiang Moxi finally brought Fu Youhan back to reality.

Fu Youhan quickly let out a cough to cover his slip-up.

"That’s good. I found a good ointment for you. It will reduce swelling and bruises quickly so these detestable marks will fade away ASAP."

Jiang Moxi also knew that her injuries made it inconvenient for her to go out, so she nodded in agreement.

Afterward, Fu Youhan brought Jiang Moxi to the dining table for breakfast.

After breakfast, Fu Youhan took out a tube of ointment.

Knowing it must be the bruise-healing ointment Fu Youhan mentioned earlier, Jiang Moxi thanked him and went to take it to apply herself.

Who knew that just as her hand was about to touch the ointment, Fu Youhan drew back his hand.

Jiang Moxi looked at Fu Youhan in surprise, only to see the man gazing at her with eyes carrying a barely noticeable gentle curve at the corners of his mouth.

"I’ll apply it for you," said Fu Youhan.

Jiang Moxi froze for a moment and hurriedly said, "No need, I can apply it myself. You probably have to go out."

The whip wounds, other than the two on her face, were all on her back and limbs.

If she were to let Fu Youhan help apply the medicine, she would inevitably have to take off her clothes.

The intimacy between Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan, except for the absurd times when they soaked in the hot springs day and night, always occurred during the night.

Therefore, she wasn’t used to being openly exposed to Fu Youhan in broad daylight, especially with injuries on her body.

Moreover, Fu Youhan had never stayed after breakfast at Tianqin Bay, even if he had spent the night before.

Jiang Moxi did not want to break his routine, nor did she want to cross the boundaries they had set before.

Because instinct told her that once the boundaries were broken, some things would become uncontrollable.

But Fu Youhan said, "You can’t see the wounds on your back. Let me help you apply the medicine."

Then without another word, he took Jiang Moxi to her room...

A few minutes later, the graceful back of the girl, and her delicate and fair skin, smooth as water tofu, were laid bare.

If it weren’t for those hideous whip marks on her back, she would definitely interpret the phrase ’skin like creamy jade’ even more perfectly.

Fu Youhan gently applied the ointment, his eyes involuntarily flashing with a hint of somber fierceness.

Looking at these wounds on Jiang Moxi’s back, which were still so shocking, made him feel that letting Bu Xin off last night was too easy on him.

"Just apply the medicine on my back, I can handle the rest by myself!"

Jiang Moxi’s voice brought Fu Youhan’s wandering attention back, "It’s okay, I’ll apply it all at once."

Fu Youhan finished speaking and started to apply the medicine to other areas.

But clearly, this touch was a hellish ordeal for Fu Youhan, who was all too aware of the beautiful aspects of this body.

In no time, his breathing became rapid; his blood started to boil, and even his body temperature began to soar.

Jiang Moxi quickly noticed the man’s abnormal state because his breath was directly landing on her body.

Each one seemed to tease her sensitive and fragile nerves as if by accident.

Jiang Moxi was afraid that if this person kept applying medicine to her, she wouldn’t be able to resist any longer and hastily spoke out.

"You shouldn’t continue, otherwise you’ll be unable to handle it."

She even attempted to get up at one point and put on her clothes to leave.

However, just as she was about to get up, Fu Youhan pulled her back into his embrace.

"It’s alright, there are just a few more spots left."

Then, the man stubbornly continued applying the medicine.

But by the time he finished applying it, there was already a layer of sweat on his forehead.

The hand holding Jiang Moxi’s waist was also nearly scorching.

In the end, though, he let go of Jiang Moxi’s waist and quickly went into the bathroom.

When Jiang Moxi heard the sound of rushing water from the bathroom, she couldn’t help but bury her hot cheeks into the pillow...

Over the following three days, Jiang Moxi continued to recuperate at Tianqin Bay.

What puzzled her was that Fu Youhan also hadn’t left Tianqin Bay for three consecutive days.

Even some of the more urgent documents were ordered by him to be sent directly to Tianqin Bay for processing.

All of this made Jiang Moxi wonder if the whip marks hadn’t fallen on her but had rather been taken on by Fu Youhan.

Otherwise, why would he need to stay at Tianqin Bay for three straight days?

Fortunately, the ointment Fu Youhan found was indeed effective.

After three days, the whip marks on Jiang Moxi’s face and body had almost disappeared.

"Looking at it this way, I should be able to go out tomorrow."

That evening, as Fu Youhan was applying medicine to Jiang Moxi again, he said while staring at her face which had recovered to its fair and clear state.

"Mhm, and it doesn’t hurt anymore, I should be able to go out tomorrow," said Jiang Moxi.

But what she didn’t know was how her words somehow agitated Fu Youhan, causing him to suddenly flip over and press down on her.

"Want to go to class." Fu Youhan’s longing for Jiang Moxi was always expressed so straightforwardly.

Besides that, his readiness to spring into action was quite evident.

"I..." Jiang Moxi opened her red lips, about to say something.

But the man simply leaned down and kissed her, only after he had kissed her into a daze did he say to her, "Don’t be afraid, I won’t hurt you."

And after that, this man, in body and spirit, turned Jiang Moxi into a puddle of water...

*

The benefits of being intimate with Fu Youhan were quite obvious, as Jiang Moxi had a good night’s sleep.

So much so that upon returning to the campus after three days, as soon as Jiang Moxi entered the classroom, she once again attracted many amazed gazes from her classmates.

Mu Wanting found it almost unbelievable to see Jiang Moxi so radiant.

"Moxi, did you go to a beauty salon for injections these past two days? How come it feels like your fairy aura has leveled up several times!"

"Why would I need random injections?" Jiang Moxi’s retort almost turned Mu Wanting green with envy.

"Indeed, those who are beautiful are different, just by getting a little good sleep they look like a fairy descending to earth..."

Mu Wanting was quite jealous for a while, then suddenly remembered something important.

"Where have you been these past few days? Ling Ye has come to look for you several times in class and came up empty-handed each time, and even announced that if you didn’t show up again, he’d start a missing person search for you on all major apps."

Jiang Moxi asked Mu Wanting, "What does Ling Ye want with me?"

"He didn’t say. But he should be coming over soon; you can ask him yourself."

As soon as Mu Wanting’s words were spoken, true to her word, Ling Ye, along with his gang, strode into their classroom in a mighty and spirited manner...
