The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 154

Chapter 154: Chapter 154

Because the manager had reminded her, today there were many guests in the private room.

So when Jiang Moxi pushed open the private room door, seeing such a crowd didn’t surprise her; instead, she habitually looked for Fu Youhan’s presence.

The man was sitting in his usual spot.

Even though everyone in the private room was dressed extraordinarily, either sitting or standing in different poses, Fu Youhan still stood out the most, capturing one’s attention immediately.

When Jiang Moxi looked at Fu Youhan, his gaze quickly landed on her as well.

He was smoking, his body enveloped in an aura of icy coldness from head to toe.

Jiang Moxi understood that he was angry, and it was only right for him not to show her a pleasant face.

She was initially holding a tray of drinks wanting to go forward and call him out to have a proper talk.

But just as she was about to step forward, she saw a woman peeling a grape and bringing it to Fu Youhan’s lips.

Jiang Moxi took a closer look and realized that the woman was An Xueluo; they had met in this private room before.

Jiang Moxi hesitated mid-step, then looked towards Fu Youhan in astonishment.

In fact, she guessed that Fu Youhan and An Xueluo had an unusual relationship, but she had always believed it was something before their relationship started, so she could ignore it.

But seeing their intimacy in person, she realized she couldn’t accept it after all.

The piercing pain made her feel somewhat lost and helpless.

As for Fu Youhan, he didn’t reject the grape An Xueluo brought to his lips, nor did he eat it.

He did nothing but stared at Jiang Moxi like a hawk...

During that moment of their eye contact, everyone else in the private room also seemed to stop what they were doing, quietly observing them.

Only Si Lin suddenly spoke out, "Xixi, you arrived just in time. I was just asking Third Master Fu if he had brought someone new, do you know about it?"

Jiang Moxi was well aware, some people loved to see the world burn and just wanted him to shut up.

But before she could speak, Fu Youhan spoke.

"What does it matter whether she knows or not? She’s not anyone to me, why should she care?"

His words were cold and distant, making him seem aloof and unreachable.

Especially his gaze as he looked at Jiang Moxi was exceedingly cold and indifferent, as if he were dealing with a stranger.

Before, the high society men in the private room had shown some respect towards Jiang Moxi, since they knew she held a certain place in Fu Youhan’s heart.

But now, after Fu Youhan’s words, their looks towards Jiang Moxi changed immediately, viewing her as if she were merely a plaything.

All of this made Jiang Moxi suddenly understand a truth.

Like those mysteriously missing cups at home, when Fu Youhan cherished her, she was a fine cup; when he did not, she was just a pile of glass shards.

If she disobeyed, Fu Youhan could easily train someone else to completely replace her.

Thus, the heart that Jiang Moxi had just been anxious to use to explain to Fu Youhan had thoroughly chilled.

The love she thought filled her heart, thinking she had a little place in his heart,

In the end, to Fu Youhan, she was only a toy...

Perhaps it was the shock, or perhaps her cold suddenly worsened, but Jiang Moxi felt her vision blurring.

"Yo, Third Master Fu is really heartless. To think our Xixi still calls you uncle," teased Si Lin.

At that moment, Jiang Moxi suddenly spoke out sharply, "Enough."

Seeing Jiang Moxi’s expression turn much colder, Si Lin didn’t speak again.

Meanwhile, Jiang Moxi looked at Fu Youhan again, her usual deadly charming demeanor cleaned up completely, leaving only coldness, the kind that chills you to the core.

"I didn’t understand my place, but now I do."

Jiang Moxi then put down the whole tray of drinks on the table, and said, "Everything is served. Call if you need anything else. I’m going out first."

As her words ended, she left the box without turning her head.

Si Lin noticed Jiang Moxi’s staggering step as she left the box and put down his glass to follow her.

Si Ruo saw Si Lin standing up and wondered: "Brother, where are you going?"

Because her intuition told her that her brother seemed very concerned about Jiang Moxi.

But Si Lin said, "To the restroom."

Si Ruo’s suspended heart settled back in place.

Right, her brother couldn’t possibly like Jiang Moxi, he was just trying to help her get together with Fu Youhan by attracting Jiang Moxi’s attention.

On the other side, Fu Youhan swatted away the grape in An Xueluo’s hand.

"Third Young Master, I’m sorry. Should I peel another one for you?" An Xueluo took all the blame upon herself and acted as sweet and sensible as she could.

Because she realized that with Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi’s breakup, this was the best opportunity to make her move.

She had studied the psychology of people like Fu Youhan who had mobility issues, and it was said that such people have a very strong desire for control.

Jiang Moxi, even though she only weighed 90 pounds, seemed to have 89 pounds of rebellious spirit.

Fu Youhan must be angry because he couldn’t control her.

As long as she displayed how different she was from Jiang Moxi at this time, she would definitely catch Fu Youhan’s attention.

Yet, An Xueluo didn’t expect that Fu Youhan didn’t even glance at her, and just wheeled his chair away.

As Si Ruo saw both Jiang Moxi and An Xueluo getting rebuffed, she felt immensely pleased and was in no hurry to chase after Fu Youhan.

After all, the obstacles between her and Fu Youhan had been cleared one by one.

She just needed to wait for the right moment to enter Fu Youhan’s heart...

After Jiang Moxi walked out of the box, she seemed a bit dazed and stumbled as she walked.

At that moment, Si Lin caught up to her.

"What’s wrong?"

The lighting in the box was not very good earlier, and Si Lin felt her walking was a bit off.

But now at the lobby, the bright lighting illuminated everything, revealing Jiang Moxi’s pale face completely in his view.

In that instant, Si Lin felt as if his heart was grasped by an invisible hand, making it difficult to breathe.

"Are you sick? Your complexion looks awful!"

Si Lin tried to grab Jiang Moxi’s hand, but she shrugged it off.

"This is none of your business."

"Is it because of him? I’ve told you, you and him are impossible. Why torture yourself for him..."

Si Lin didn’t know why he was lecturing Jiang Moxi.

He only knew he couldn’t stand seeing Jiang Moxi so caring towards Fu Youhan.

"Yes, I’m just stupid. When someone treats me a bit nicely, I get so happy I forget myself, even knowing it’s an abyss, I still want to leap into it."

Jiang Moxi smiled.

The pale face and slightly red eyes added a fragile beauty to her stunning appearance.

Listening to her words, Si Lin felt like fuel was added to the fire.

Jiang Moxi actually admitted she had feelings for Fu Youhan!

Even though it wasn’t really Si Lin’s business, he was still very angry.

"Jiang Moxi, are you blind..."

Just as Si Lin was about to turn all his anger into a hysterical shout, he saw Jiang Moxi suddenly close her eyes like her soul had been extracted, and then she fell straight back...
