The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 149

Chapter 149: Chapter 149

In the following week, Fu Youhan felt the passage of time slower than ever before.

You see, previously he could flip through several documents and notice that a whole morning had gone by when he checked his watch.

But these few days, he’s been checking his watch repeatedly, and only half an hour has passed.

It was bad enough that the daytime dragged on endlessly, but the nights proved even more difficult.

When he was painfully bored in the past, he could go to Night Color to hang out with Ye Chen to pass the time.

But now, Ye Chen is abroad discussing projects with Yu Dingding, and he’s not at Night Color.

Jiang Moxi is participating in school activities and isn’t working part-time at Night Color either.

Even if Fu Youhan went to Night Color, he would just be chatting with a bunch of irrelevant people.

He had no desire for such pointless socializing, so he simply returned to Tianqin Bay.

But back at this house, without seeing Jiang Moxi, that bone-deep yearning for her became even more pronounced.

On the first night, Fu Youhan couldn’t hold out anymore and made a video call to Jiang Moxi at eleven o’clock at night.

By then, Jiang Moxi was already on the caregiver’s bed, preparing to sleep.

At the sight of Fu Youhan’s video call, she hurriedly grabbed her phone and went to answer it in the small garden, where people were scarce at this hour.

When Fu Youhan saw Jiang Moxi on his phone screen, he felt all the irritability and anxiety of the day vanish completely.

"Is South of Caiyun fun?"

Fu Youhan observed the scenery behind the girl, noticing it was all greenery.

However, South of Caiyun is also famous for its greenery in the cold winter, so Fu Youhan quickly disregarded it.

"It’s quite fun," Jiang Moxi said with a smile.

Fu Youhan then asked, "Why is it so dark where you are?"

Jiang Moxi said, "Everyone is asleep; I came out because I was afraid of waking them."

Her words were watertight, and Fu Youhan couldn’t find any hint of anything, so he urged, "Then go to sleep early, don’t just linger outside by yourself."

"Mm, you should sleep early too."

After saying goodnight to each other, they ended the video call.

Fu Youhan, alone in his room, didn’t sleep very well all night.

As for Jiang Moxi, because Feng Ming woke up, she felt much more at peace. Plus, after the exhausting day of taking care of Feng Ming, she soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the following days, Jiang Moxi would diligently accompany Feng Ming through his rehabilitation training during the day, and at night, she would receive video calls from Fu Youhan.

Days like these were tormenting yet had a tinge of sweetness.

Only today, Jiang Moxi was spotted by Si Ruo while accompanying Feng Ming for his rehabilitation training.

Feng Ming was beginning to practice walking.

But having lain in bed for too long, he couldn’t even stand properly and, after several failed attempts, he was so exhausted that he started to give up on himself.

In a fit of rage, he swept the things beside him to the ground.

His water bottle, the buns that Jiang Moxi worriedly bought for him to eat after training, were scattered all over the ground...

Si Ruo’s friend got injured while skiing and she happened to be visiting the friend at the hospital today.

Passing by Feng Ming’s ward, she heard the crashing noise and couldn’t help but peek inside.

And what she saw through the ward door’s window was shocking!

Isn’t that Jiang Moxi talking to that frail, handsome man?

Who could she be to him?

Looks like their relationship is complicated!

Si Ruo stretched her neck again for a better look.

Then, upon seeing Jiang Moxi wiping the sweat off the man’s forehead with a tissue, Si Ruo’s eyes narrowed slightly...

Jiang Moxi, that dead bitch, got her grounded for two months, and she’s just been allowed out these past two days.

But this bitch herself is out gallivanting, not only stringing Fu Youhan along but also flirting with another man.

Very good!

Now it’s time for this dead bitch to reap what she sowed!

Si Ruo took out her phone and snapped away at the scene inside the ward.

Meanwhile, Jiang Moxi was busily caring for Feng Ming in the ward and didn’t notice the movements at the door.

After wiping the sweat off Feng Ming, she began to clean up the mess on the floor.

Seeing Jiang Moxi again pay for his mistakes made Feng Ming feel uncomfortable.

"I’m sorry, Xixi. I don’t know why I lost control of my emotions so suddenly, I..."

Feng Ming’s hands gripped his hair, filled with self-reproach and distress.

After Jiang Moxi cleaned everything up, she sat next to Feng Ming, leaning her head on his shoulder, just like they used to rest together after every tiring training session.

"Brother, you’re already doing very well. Dr. Zhang said that many patients can’t recover to your level within half a year!"

Feng Ming was very diligent in practicing this week, progressing from initially not being able to hold anything to now being able to eat with a spoon and dress himself.

Even Zhang Lianggui was astounded by the speed of his recovery.

But Feng Ming said with annoyance, "But Xixi, I must recover as soon as possible."

Only by recovering quickly could he stop being a burden to Jiang Moxi and truly provide her with a shelter from the storm.

"Haste makes waste, let’s take it slowly step by step. And getting angry won’t speed up your recovery."

Jiang Moxi’s well-reasoned persuasion gradually calmed down Feng Ming’s agitated mood.

As people always say, if the scenery isn’t nice enough, just walk a bit further; if the road is tough, slow down.

As long as you’re on the road, you’ll eventually see the scenery you want and find your own direction.

After resting for a while, Feng Ming gritted his teeth and resumed his training.

From initially not being able to stand up to the end of today’s session, he was able to stay standing for five minutes and take four steps forward...

While Jiang Moxi and Feng Ming were happy with the day’s progress, she didn’t know that Si Ruo, with the photos she had just taken, had arranged to meet with Fu Youhan.

Fu Youhan, upon receiving Si Ruo’s call to meet, responded coldly: "I’m busy!"

Just as he was about to hang up, Si Ruo said, "Don’t you want to know what Jiang Moxi has been up to lately?"

Fu Youhan’s movement paused: "She’s been involved in school activities, no need for Miss Si’s concern."

"Involved in school activities? Hahaha... Fu Youhan, you’re smart for a second, but confused for a moment! You’ve been deceived by her, yet you’re still speaking in her defense."

The certainty in Si Ruo’s tone disgusted Fu Youhan, and he hung up the phone.

Si Ruo called again, but he didn’t answer, even blacklisting Si Ruo’s number.

Knowing probably that her number was blocked, she used another number to send a message to Fu Youhan.

The first thing to come in was a photo.

The photo was indeed the one of Jiang Moxi wiping sweat for Feng Ming in the ward!

Then came a text message.

"The activity Jiang Moxi is involved in, is it a school’s nursing home event? Then the patient being cared for is quite young, isn’t he?"

Fu Youhan ignored Si Ruo’s provocative words, his eyes coldly settling on that photo...
