The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Chapter 163

Yuan Zhou didn’t expect that the first time Si Lin seriously called him out, it was just to rent a house to Jiang Moxi, and he was utterly confused.

"Young Master Si, I think it’s best if you handle this matter yourself, so Jiang Moxi would be grateful and devote herself to you."

Yuan Zhou wasn’t blind. Observing for a while was enough for him to understand that Si Lin indeed had feelings for Jiang Moxi.

Therefore, he also kindly reminded Si Lin, hoping he could successfully win the beauty’s heart.

But Si Lin said, "If she knows the house is mine, she’d be unlikely to agree to rent it!"

This morning he had clearly expressed his intention to give the house to Jiang Moxi.

However, Jiang Moxi didn’t show any change in her expression and rejected him.

From this, Si Lin figured out that Jiang Moxi really didn’t want to have any connection with him.

Of course, Si Lin was angry, frustrated that all his heartfelt efforts couldn’t even earn him a smile from her.

He had even thought that he wouldn’t bother with Jiang Moxi’s troubles ever again in this lifetime.

But whenever he closed his eyes, he would always imagine a scene where everyone was happily reunited with their families while Jiang Moxi was all alone on the street looking for a house...

That image, like a blunt instrument, kept slicing his heart, making him ignore the promise he just made and asked Yuan Zhou to handle it.

Yet, Yuan Zhou disagreed, "Young Master Si, if Jiang Moxi doesn’t know about what you’ve done, it all becomes meaningless."

However, Si Lin decided to persist in his own way: "Just consider it a good deed for the day."

And before Yuan Zhou left, Si Lin didn’t forget to repeatedly instruct, "Remember, never let Jiang Moxi know the house is mine."

Yuan Zhou signaled an "OK" to Si Lin and then went to take care of the arrangements.

He was quick in his actions, and soon invisibly placed the rental ad right in front of Jiang Moxi.

Jiang Moxi was quite interested in the rental information, immediately called the number in the ad, met with the agent, and signed the rental agreement...

Meanwhile, after signing the agreement, Jiang Moxi received a call from Li Tinglu, saying she was free at the moment to receive a gift.

Therefore, Jiang Moxi arranged to meet her at a small café.

Upon seeing Jiang Moxi, Li Tinglu was extremely excited, chattering like a gender-neutral sparrow.

"Sister Moxi, have you been dieting recently? You’ve lost so much weight! Don’t diet; you looked really good before."

"I brought you some really delicious pine nut cookies, I thought you’d like them."

"Are you free on New Year’s Eve? I’m going with friends to see the fireworks show; do you want to come along?"

Jiang Moxi didn’t know what to do with this noisy sparrow, so she just responded, "I’m not free on New Year’s Eve."

She might go to the hospital to accompany Feng Ming or meet up with Scavenger Jing Yan.

Seeing that Li Tinglu was about to say more, Jiang Moxi took out the gift she brought and handed it to her.

"From Yunshang?"

Li Tinglu saw the gift packaging Jiang Moxi handed her, which was bagged with a Yunshang logo, and was somewhat intrigued.

"Is this a work by the chief designer X from Yunshang?"

As an internationally renowned luxury brand for the affluent, Yunshang naturally also attracted the attention of wealthy second-generation individuals like Li Tinglu.

Not only her, but among the younger generation of the Jiang family, Jiang Weiwei, Jiang Yuqing, and even Jiang Sibei, all adored this brand.

Whenever there was a new product launch from Yunshang, they would be the first to rush for the purchase, regardless of whether it was designed by the chief designer X.

This was because Yunshang had already become a status symbol for the wealthy; those socialites without Yunshang products would be looked down upon in their circles.

Even Li Tinglu, who preferred gender-neutral attire, would use some Yunshang accessories when attending events within these circles, to fit in better.

However, unlike Jiang Weiwei and the others, the accessories collected by Li Tinglu, including waist packs, were all creations by Yunshang’s chief designer X.

Even though Yunshang’s chief designer X had not released any new products for many years, Li Tinglu still found that X’s designs truly matched her aesthetic tastes, so she spared no effort in acquiring X’s previous works from various channels.

Unlike other designers at Yunshang, the works of chief designer X always featured an additional logo.

Thus, Li Tinglu quickly recognized that the gifts Jiang Moxi gave her were all created by X.

"These are a backpack and earrings designed by X, they’re really beautiful."

After exclaiming in admiration, Li Tinglu did not forget to ask Jiang Moxi: "How did you know I like X’s creations?"

Jiang Moxi smiled and said, "Your display cabinet is full of these, how could I not notice?"

Last time, when Li Tinglu took Jiang Moxi to her apartment to change clothes, Jiang Moxi noticed that her display cabinet was filled with X’s works.

At that time, she had already thought about giving these items to Li Tinglu.

"Are these new models about to be released? I heard from internal sources that X is making a comeback and Yunshang will have a new product launch after the New Year."

Li Tinglu was fondling the backpack and earrings, seeming quite reluctant to part with them.

"Yes, she is making a comeback and will release new products after the New Year. But these are not the new models about to be released; they are not for sale, rather they were custom-made."

These two items were specially crafted based on Li Tinglu’s physical appearance.

Especially the earrings, they were crafted with the purple diamonds that suited Li Tinglu best.

No matter what clothes Li Tinglu wore, even sporty styles, they would match well.

If other members of Jiang Family heard Jiang Moxi’s words, they would definitely think she was spouting nonsense again, or that she could not afford Yunshang’s products and got some fakes to appease Li Tinglu.

Only Li Tinglu herself, inexplicably believed Jiang Moxi’s words.

She even felt that there might be some connection between Jiang Moxi and Yunshang’s chief designer X, which made her adore them to the utmost.

After expressing her fondness for the gifts again, Li Tinglu suddenly asked:

"However, Sister Moxi, why did you suddenly give me a gift?"

"Isn’t a New Year gift nice?"

Jiang Moxi still did not mention the word "farewell," which relieved Li Tinglu.

Later, Li Tinglu went on her way happily carrying the backpack and wearing the earrings, excited for Jiang Family’s impromptu dinner gathering tonight.

The gifts from Jiang Moxi really suited Li Tinglu perfectly.

Look, just as Li Tinglu entered Jiang’s Old Mansion with these two items, Aunt Yao started praising them.

"Miss Tinglu, your earrings and backpack are really beautiful, they suit you really well."

Even the second branch daughter-in-law, Zhao Guangmei, and her daughter Jiang Yuqing, who usually weren’t fond of Li Tinglu, couldn’t help but ask her when they saw the backpack and earrings.

"Tinglu, where did you buy this backpack and earrings, they’re really beautiful."

"Eh, this is Yunshang’s logo? Since when did Yunshang release these two models, how come I didn’t know?"

Because Yunshang was mentioned, Jiang Sibei and Jiang Weiwei also came over and started examining the backpack on Li Tinglu.

Jiang Weiwei quickly recognized another logo on the backpack.

"This is a creation by Yunshang’s chief designer X? But I haven’t seen these two items in X’s new product promotions on the official website."

Jiang Sibei then said, "Tinglu, did someone trick you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tinglu’s mother Jiang Ruxin became anxious, "Tinglu, where did you buy these two items? Hurry and return them."

"No, I didn’t buy them, Sister Moxi gave them to me. They are a non-sale item, privately customized by Yunshang’s chief designer X!"

Yet, Li Tinglu’s insistence changed the expressions of everyone present instantly.
