The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Chapter 142

"What I said, he might not listen to."

Just as Jiang Moxi was saying this, Ling Ye leaned in.

"Exactly, anyone might persuade my uncle but Moxi, never."

Ling Hua looked at Ling Ye in confusion: "Why?"

To avoid hurting Jiang Moxi’s pride, Ling Ye hurriedly pulled Ling Hua aside and whispered:

"Because our uncle doesn’t like your Sister Moxi at all, he even detests her. How could he possibly listen to her advice?"

After hearing this, Ling Hua was almost dumbfounded, "Really? I thought uncle liked Sister Moxi quite a bit."

Uncle always pours tea for Sister Moxi first, even when they are sitting far apart.

It’s the same with the fork.

Furthermore, when our uncle invites us to eat, he’d especially have someone remove the shells from the crabs to make it easier for them to eat.

Ling Hua had eaten with her uncle so many times and never enjoyed such preferential treatment.

So she thought, uncle must at least feel fondly towards Jiang Moxi, otherwise, he wouldn’t do so much for her.

But Ling Ye tapped on her head, "Living till this age and still not understanding, your eyes and brain are a waste."

Ling Hua instantly got angry and started chasing and bickering with Ling Ye.

Later, Fu Youhan arrived.

They had called Jiang Moxi today to clearly ask her to continue being Ling Hua’s home tutor until the college entrance examination.

The process went smoothly, and they offered a high salary.

Soon, the contract was signed.

But Fu Youhan, from beginning to end, spoke with an official tone, which made Jiang Moxi furrow her brows unknowingly after signing the contract.

"Uncle, Teacher Wang came to school to apologize to me this morning and resigned according to our agreement."

After the contract was signed, Ling Hua immediately reported this to Fu Youhan.

"Good, that’s settled then." Fu Youhan’s tone was unchanged, and even his handsome face showed no emotion.

But Ling Hua felt that her uncle today wasn’t as easy to deal with as before.

The words she had been about to say to plead on someone’s behalf were stuck in her throat, unspoken.

Ling Hua could only cast a pleading look towards Jiang Moxi.

Jiang Moxi thought that Fu Youhan might have misunderstood the nickname ’Scavenger’ for her on the information, which is why he suddenly became cold towards her.

She was considering finding a chance to talk to Fu Youhan and ease their relationship.

Just as Ling Hua was seeking her help, Jiang Moxi started to speak.

"The innocent shouldn’t be punished for the guilty. There’s no need to obliterate her husband and child’s efforts for the sake of punishing Teacher Wang alone. Why not just let them..."

Jiang Moxi wanted to say let the two of them return to their original jobs, but before she could finish, Fu Youhan interjected with a cold voice.

"It’s a pity that her husband and child’s efforts were erased. And what about the students she ruined before, do they deserve it?"

Fu Youhan’s rhetorical question made the conversation suddenly tense and confrontational.

"That’s not what I meant." Jiang Moxi’s brows knitted.

As she was pondering how to persuade Fu Youhan and at the same time make him understand that she had no flirtations with others, Ling Ye hurried over and covered her mouth.

"Sorry uncle, Moxi didn’t mean to contradict you. Please don’t take it the wrong way with her."

While speaking, Ling Ye was pulling Jiang Moxi towards the kitchen.

"The meal should be nearly ready, come help me bring it to the dining table."

Ling Ye felt the atmosphere between the two of them tensed up, and without saying another word, he dragged Jiang Moxi away to avoid her getting into deeper trouble with their uncle.

With her intentions interrupted by Ling Ye, Jiang Moxi could only put them aside for the moment.

This meal was meant to celebrate Ling Hua’s academic improvement, and there were plenty of delicacies.

But due to being in a bad mood, for both Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan, the meal was as tasteless as wax.

After dinner, Fu Youhan left early, claiming he had matters to attend to.

Jiang Moxi was also going to her part-time job at Night Color and left on her motorcycle.

But in fact, the two quickly met on the ninth floor of Night Color.

Considering Ye Chen and Yu Dingding were both present, Jiang Moxi did not attempt to speak with Fu Youhan. After delivering the drinks, she left the private room.

As soon as Jiang Moxi left, Fu Youhan glanced at Ye Chen, "Who would call someone a ’Dead Ghost’?"

On hearing the words "Dead Ghost," even Ye Chen’s charming, peach blossom eyes narrowed in an instant.

Then, he sent Yu Dingding away and only then asked Fu Youhan, "Are you referring to the ’Dead Ghost’ from the Xuanming Mercenary Corps?"

"Not at all. I was just wondering who would call someone a ’Dead Ghost’." Fu Youhan lit a cigarette.

Jiang Moxi couldn’t possibly be ’Dead Ghost’; simply by her gender, Fu Youhan had ruled her out.

Hearing it wasn’t about that fearsome character on the streets, Ye Chen relaxed considerably.

"Who else could it be? Kiss you on the mouth, touch your leg, call you ’Dead Ghost’ in bed at midnight!"

But Ye Chen didn’t expect his joke to cause Fu Youhan to take several puffs of his cigarette, appearing increasingly irritated.

"So does Jiang Moxi really have someone else?"

So far, Ye Chen had only seen Jiang Moxi able to affect Fu Youhan’s emotions this way.

That’s why he became even more convinced that the ’Dead Ghost’ mentioned by Fu Youhan had something to do with Jiang Moxi.

"I’m not sure."

Fu Youhan truly didn’t believe Jiang Moxi was that sort of person, yet her attitude made it hard for him not to have doubts.

Ye Chen was about to delve deeper into his friend’s emotional world when the manager hurried into the private room to report.

"Young Master Ye, a client from Emperor City insists on taking Miss Yu with him. Please take a look."

Consequently, Ye Chen had to hurry out of the private room to see who dared to try to take his treasure away on his turf.

This time, the person causing trouble at Night Color was still someone from Emperor City who had fancied Yu Dingding.

Knowing that Yu Dingding was at Night Color in Yan City, this person specifically came to try his luck with the once renowned beauty from Emperor City.

Ye Chen had the man beaten up and thrown out of Night Color.

"Baby, are you okay?" After everything was settled, Ye Chen returned to Yu Dingding’s side.

"I’m fine." Yu Dingding wasn’t hurt and had an indifferent expression on her face.

But looking at her, Ye Chen felt as if she had grown even more distant from him.

He disliked this feeling, so he sent her home first and joined her for a drink at her place.

Yu Dingding wasn’t much of a drinker and quickly became slightly tipsy.

Taking advantage of the alcohol, Ye Chen rolled over and pressed her down.

Yu Dingding did not resist, only reminding him, "Just like... before..."

Tipsy, she wasn’t even sure if Ye Chen had agreed to her.

"Ye Chen, you jerk!" She pushed at Ye Chen, trying to break free from him.

But Ye Chen, like a child who had been given candy, was overjoyed, "Baby."

He could tell what kind of woman was feigning purity and what kind was truly pure just by sleeping with them.

Yet he always thought, even if Yu Dingding had not lost her honor at Night Color, given her previous tumultuous involvement with Mo Yifeng, she must at least have become Mo Yifeng’s woman.

However, everything today utterly overturned all his assumptions.

Somewhere in his heart, it seemed to be filled with this wonderful feeling.

"Baby, I’ll treat you well, don’t reject me..."

He coaxed Yu Dingding, his voice so tender that even he questioned himself.

But he was also dominant, dominantly claiming all of Yu Dingding.

Later on, Yu Dingding, perhaps because of the alcohol or some other reason, actually hugged him back...
