The Time-Limited Love and Marriage -
Chapter 161
Chapter 161: Chapter 161
Whether it was Youhan or Jiang Moxi, they both planned to directly ignore the damned doorbell.
After all, both of them knew that no one would come to this place.
Even if someone did, they would definitely have another purpose.
Yet, the person outside didn’t give up and kept pressing the doorbell.
The crisp sound of the doorbell, set against the night atmosphere, seemed somewhat eerie.
Finally, after exchanging looks with Jiang Moxi, Youhan hid himself, leaning near the entrance hall.
From this angle, he could observe the person outside without being seen himself.
Soon, Jiang Moxi opened the door, and the person standing outside was dressed in a courier’s uniform.
"Hello, may I ask if you’re Miss Jiang Moxi? There’s a package for you."
"Sorry, I don’t have the habit of online shopping, nor do I shop online." Jiang Moxi didn’t relax her vigilance.
"This package isn’t from online shopping, it’s directly mailed from overseas." the courier said.
"Overseas?" A flicker of surprise crossed Jiang Moxi’s eyes as she quickly took the package.
Youhan was just about to remind Jiang Moxi not to take the package so easily – who knows what was inside it.
But he saw Jiang Moxi glance at the sender’s information, and something she saw made the corners of her lips secretly curl up.
That smile, bright enough to sting Youhan’s eyes, made him feel uneasy about the package.
Yet, Jiang Moxi briskly signed for the package, thanked the courier, and went inside with it, completely ignoring Youhan.
"Who sent you the package?" Youhan asked.
"It’s none of your business." Jiang Moxi didn’t look up, unpacked the package, took out a bag of vacuum-sealed dumplings, and went to the kitchen.
Youhan followed her, only to see Jiang Moxi put the dumplings in a glass bowl and heat them in the microwave.
"Are you sure these are safe to eat? Not afraid someone poisoned them?" Youhan questioned again.
"Not afraid, he wouldn’t harm me."
Jiang Moxi’s unusually confident tone further infuriated Youhan.
Because his gut told him that the man who sent dumplings to Jiang Moxi on this festive eve must be a man.
The microwave heated quickly, and Jiang Moxi soon took the hot dumplings out and turned to head to her room.
Youhan followed, his voice chilling: "Don’t eat them and then have stomach trouble, requiring me to take you to the hospital in the middle of the night."
"No worries. I’ve eaten these many times and am still perfectly fine."
After speaking, Jiang Moxi entered her room, locked the door swiftly, blocking Youhan outside.
Just as Youhan was about to knock on the door, it suddenly opened again from the inside.
Youhan startled, thinking Jiang Moxi was inviting him in, just like every other passionate night before.
However, Jiang Moxi just stood at the doorway, looked at him with a clear gaze and said, "I’ll be moving out of here soon, remember to come and change the password lock then."
Youhan’s eyes narrowed slightly: "I didn’t ask you to move out, I’ve said that I would give you this house."
When they got married, he had emphasized that he would give her the house.
Its prime location alone could fetch tens of millions if sold, as a kind of compensation for her.
But Jiang Moxi said, "Thanks, but no need, I don’t need the house. I will inform Assistant Chi once I’ve moved out."
Having said what she needed to, Jiang Moxi once again swiftly locked the door.
Youhan, looking at the closed door with a face ashen and hands clenched into fists, radiated a terrifyingly menacing aura.
So, she wanted to clearly draw boundaries with him?
Very well!
Let it be as she wishes!
Fuming, Youhan immediately left Tianqin Bay and headed to Night Color.
Ye Chen had just returned to the country today, and there was a lively gathering in the ninth-floor VIP room of Night Color.
Almost everyone in Yan City’s circle has arrived.
But Ye Chen was surprised by Fu Youhan’s arrival: "How come you are here? I thought you were accompanying Xiao Moxi!"
However, Fu Youhan didn’t even bother to respond to Ye Chen’s teasing. Slowly turning his wheelchair, his gaze moved past the crowd and settled on Si Lin, who was sitting in a corner.
"What’s his situation?"
Fu Youhan observed Si Lin who was drinking.
But now, what he was more concerned about was Luoxia, who was sitting beside Si Lin.
The Luo Family has always intended to completely take over the Si Family, and Luoxia has always boasted her identity as the future daughter-in-law of the Si Family.
However, everyone in this circle knows that Si Lin utterly despises Luoxia.
So, generally, in any events that Si Lin attends, no one dares to invite Luoxia.
But today, not only did Si Lin and Luoxia appear together, but he also let Luoxia sit next to him.
Thus, the scene was indeed quite novel for Fu Youhan.
"I heard that the two are together now."
Ye Chen, who loves gossip, naturally had first-hand fresh news.
"Are you sure?" The furrows between Fu Youhan’s eyebrows deepened so much that they could trap a fly.
Because he remembered that last week, Si Lin left Night Color with Jiang Moxi and later, Jiang Moxi did not return home all night!
It hasn’t been long since then, and now he’s publicly showing affection with another woman?
"Of course I’m sure, I just asked him, he personally told me."
Ye Chen looked at Luoxia clinging to Si Lin from a distance, sighing, "These two are sincerely ruining my eyes, I’ve got to let my darling help me wash my eyes when I get back."
And Fu Youhan continued to stare at that scene, his dark pupils flickering in the dim light.
Actually, if Si Lin indeed dumped Jiang Moxi, it could be seen as karma for Jiang Moxi playing several people at once.
But Fu Youhan didn’t understand why he still felt so suffocated.
Even, he followed Si Lin to the restroom when he saw him going...
*
After using the restroom, Si Lin was washing his hands when he saw through the mirror above the sink that Fu Youhan had also entered the restroom.
But Fu Youhan neither went to use the facilities nor to wash his hands, but just watched Si Lin through the mirror with a cold gaze.
After locking eyes for a moment, Si Lin suddenly sneered, "What does Third Master Fu mean by this? Not using the restroom nor washing hands? Just here to keep an eye?"
"I want to ask you what you mean!"
Fu Youhan squinted his eyes, each word seeming to be squeezed out through his teeth: "Flirting with Jiang Moxi while publicly showing love to someone else?"
With cold lips curled, a chill shimmered in Si Lin’s eyes: "That bad woman, you think I care about her?"
Thinking back to that day when he was busy all night and Jiang Moxi didn’t even show him a pleasant face upon waking, Si Lin felt like his self-esteem was being rubbed against the floor.
The damn thing is, he has been dreaming about that bad woman every night recently.
Si Lin felt that perhaps it was because he hasn’t interacted with the opposite sex for too long that he got bad thoughts about someone like Jiang Moxi.
To free his mind from constantly conjuring the image of Jiang Moxi, he even accepted Luoxia’s confession and started showing up with her.
But what he didn’t expect was that even then, Fu Youhan before him, still mentioned Jiang Moxi.
Thus, an image of that bad woman immediately surged in his mind again, making him feel like all his previous efforts were a joke, thereby increasing his irritation immensely.
So after he said those words, he didn’t even look at Fu Youhan and briskly left the restroom.
Fu Youhan watched Si Lin’s angrily departing figure, his icy eyes somewhat puzzled.
Si Lin actually said he didn’t care about Jiang Moxi and looked so angry, so did they have a fight?
Fu Youhan was just preparing to catch up with Si Lin to have him clarify his words when the Night Club Manager happened to also come out of the restroom.
"Third Master Fu."
Fu Youhan nodded slightly, ready to operate his wheelchair to leave.
But then, the manager spoke again: "Third Master Fu, last time Moxi..."
