The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 150

Chapter 150: Chapter 150

After a day of rehabilitation training, Jiang Moxi made some dishes that Feng Ming liked, and the two were eating in the hospital room.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

Seeing Fu Youhan’s video call displayed on the phone screen, Jiang Moxi’s heartbeat inexplicably missed a few beats.

But in front of Feng Ming, Jiang Moxi didn’t show any abnormality.

"Brother, you eat first, I’ll go out to answer a call."

"Quickly, the meal should be eaten while it’s hot!"

"Okay."

It was dusk by this time, and there were quite a few people walking in the small hospital garden, so Jiang Moxi simply turned into the stairway leading to the underground parking lot.

Most people would choose to take the elevator to the underground parking, so this corner was generally less frequented.

The moment the video connected, Jiang Moxi saw Fu Youhan’s handsome and profound face, and her lips couldn’t help but curve up slightly.

"Why did you call so early today? Did you miss me?"

Jiang Moxi’s smile was bright, her eyes black as ink, rippling like water.

Her appearance, like a ray of sunshine, dispersed the gloom in Fu Youhan’s heart, making him feel much steadier.

"Yeah, otherwise why would I video call you?"

Fu Youhan’s voice lost the chill it had while talking with Si Ruo, and even carried a hint of laughter.

The man’s rhetorical question marked his longing, making Jiang Moxi feel as if her heart was filled with honey.

She thought, she had fallen for him again.

Knowing this man was dangerous, knowing that love was unreliable, yet she still dove in headfirst without turning back.

Jiang Moxi’s smile grew sweeter.

On the other end of the phone, Fu Youhan watched the girl’s smile, feeling as if countless fireworks were exploding in his heart simultaneously.

Yet, he still couldn’t ignore the stairway behind the girl.

"Where are you? Aren’t you with anyone else?"

Fu Youhan unconsciously recalled the photo Si Ruo had sent earlier, the scene where the girl affectionately wiped sweat from a man in a hospital gown.

And also, the scene where the girl leaned affectionately on the man’s shoulder, looking like a couple.

Those photos only captured the girl’s side profile, but it was clear her face was smiling, full of hope for life.

So, was that really Jiang Moxi?

She hadn’t gone to the South of Caiyun with others, but instead hid in the hospital to look after another man behind his back?

Jiang Moxi said, "I was afraid they would interrupt our conversation, so I ran over here."

Her words were half true.

Indeed, she did worry about their talk being disturbed, which is why she went out.

But the potential interruption would likely only come from Feng Ming.

Fu Youhan, listening to Jiang Moxi’s answer, chose once again to trust her.

"This afternoon a project sponsor had a crab banquet, I thought the taste was pretty good. I’ll take you there when you come back."

"Sure. I’ll be back soon."

"I’ll be waiting for you at home."

"Okay!"

The simple dialogue was irresistibly sweet.

So much so that when Jiang Moxi returned to the hospital room, she still couldn’t help but keep her lips curled up.

Feng Ming noticed and asked with some confusion, "Xixi, what are you laughing about?"

"Nothing, I just thought of something funny."

For now, Jiang Moxi didn’t want to mention the matters of the heart in front of Feng Ming, not wanting to remind him of certain people.

However, if there was an opportunity, she still hoped to bring Fu Youhan in front of Feng Ming and gain his approval.

Tasting love for the first time, she felt it was indescribably wonderful, and she believed that she and Fu Youhan were different individuals, so it shouldn’t end up like what happened to Feng Ming initially.

Feng Ming didn’t even know what this silly girl was so happy about.

But seeing her in a good mood, he couldn’t help but laugh along...

And they didn’t know that after ending the call with Jiang Moxi, Si Ruo sent him a message from a new, unknown number.

"Have you verified with Jiang Moxi? Brother Han, I don’t mean to knock you down, I just want you to know that in this world, only I truly care for you wholeheartedly."

Fu Youhan looked at the message, his handsome face shrouded in a layer of hostility.

He rarely replied to Si Ruo: "Whatever Moxi says is the truth, I don’t need to verify it with her, I trust her."

But Si Ruo must have been clinging to her phone, as she quickly responded.

"Brother Han, why would you rather believe such a flirtatious woman and not trust me? I wouldn’t lie to you, I saw it with my own eyes."

Probably extremely annoyed, Si Ruo didn’t wait for Fu Youhan’s response and quickly sent another message.

"Yan City Yunfeng Private Hospital, Room 2208, if you don’t believe me, go check that address yourself."

But Fu Youhan just glanced coldly at the address in the message and then blocked Si Ruo’s new number as well.

Between Jiang Moxi and Si Ruo, he of course chose to trust Jiang Moxi, how could he possibly trust Si Ruo, an outsider?

As for the photos Si Ruo sent before, he guessed they were just of a girl who looked like Jiang Moxi.

Otherwise, why were only the side faces captured in those photos?

Si Ruo’s number was blocked again, and Fu Youhan’s phone finally quieted down.

That evening, a business partner sent Fu Youhan a nice tuna and two Australian lobsters.

Looking at these premium fresh ingredients, Fu Youhan naturally thought of Jiang Moxi.

She would be very happy if she saw all this seafood.

Unfortunately, that person wouldn’t return to Yan City until tomorrow.

So, Fu Youhan sent these fresh ingredients to Ling Hua, that foodie at the Ling Family.

But what Fu Youhan never expected was that Ling Ye was also at home.

Fu Youhan saw Ling Ye come over to help move the seafood, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"Aren’t you attending your school’s winter holiday activities?"

Because Ling Ye was always an active participant in activities, Fu Youhan, knowing that Jiang Moxi’s school had activities, guessed that Ling Ye must have participated as well.

"Uncle, are you talking about the trip to South of Caiyun? It ended last night!"

Ling Ye didn’t notice anything wrong, and after putting the seafood away, he wanted to invite Fu Youhan for coffee.

But Fu Youhan kept staring at him, his eyes seemingly veiled in a grey haze.

Ling Ye felt a chill down his spine, feeling as if his uncle’s gaze was like a knife stabbing at his neck.

Luckily, aside from the chilling gaze, Fu Youhan’s voice was still restrained: "Wasn’t the activity supposed to last a week?"

"No, the activity was only for five days. Where did you hear it was for a week?"

After Ling Ye spoke, before he could wonder why his uncle was so concerned about the duration of his participation, he heard Ling Hua laughing and saying:

"I guess uncle might have confused the week Sister Moxi took off with the duration of the activity you attended, brother."

Thinking about it, Ling Ye also felt that must be the case, nodding in agreement:

"Right, uncle, you might have mixed them up. It’s Moxi who took a week off, saying she had to deal with some matters, not me."

Ling Ye didn’t want to bring up Jiang Moxi in front of Fu Youhan.

But now he couldn’t remember if Jiang Moxi had ever mentioned taking time off in front of Fu Youhan, so he could only tell the truth.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt the air gradually begin to freeze.

Fu Youhan’s eyes were filled with a deep chill.

"Uncle, this..."

Unable to figure out what he had said wrong to make his uncle show such a murderous expression,

But before he could express his confusion, Fu Youhan coldly questioned: "You said Jiang Moxi took off this week? She... didn’t go to South of Caiyun?"
