The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 176

Chapter 176: Chapter 176

On the way back, Youhan suggested to drop Ling Ye off first.

But Ling Ye said, "If I go back, what about you guys?"

"Can Moxi drive?" asked Youhan.

"Yes." Jiang Moxi nodded.

"When Xiao Ye gets home later, you drive the car to Tianqin Bay, the house is yours to stay in."

When Youhan said this, he didn’t look at anyone, his cold eyes were fixed on the street view outside the car window.

Along with his clear, cold temperament, it inexplicably gave people a sense of unattainability.

Therefore, Jiang Moxi directly refused: "No need, I’ve rented a place."

Youhan finally fixed his gaze on Jiang Moxi, his eyes inexplicably a bit icy.

"That house is in Si Lin’s name, Miss Luo approached you because of this."

Ling Ye also noticed, his uncle seemed a bit angry, causing the temperature in the car to inexplicably drop significantly.

However, he didn’t directly link Youhan’s anger to Jiang Moxi.

Thinking that Youhan was just feeling that both Ling Ye and Jiang Moxi were taking up too much of his time.

So Ling Ye quickly persuaded: "Moxi, just listen to my uncle’s arrangement, he has so many houses he can’t even count them. If you stay at Young Master Si’s place again, you might get targeted by her endlessly."

Although Ling Ye was not in this circle, he had heard about Luoxia’s obsession with Si Lin, knowing that Luoxia would deliberately trouble any woman close to Si Lin.

So he thought that Jiang Moxi had inadvertently rented Si Lin’s house, attracting these troubles, hence his advice to Jiang Moxi.

Hearing Ling Ye’s advice, Jiang Moxi also felt there was some truth in it.

Although she had reconciled with Luoxia tonight, who knows if Luoxia might strike back?

Thus, Jiang Moxi said, "Alright, I will find another place soon."

Soon, Ling Ye reached his home.

Jiang Moxi then sat in the driver’s seat, driving Youhan away.

On the way to Tianqin Bay, Jiang Moxi asked Youhan if he wanted to go elsewhere, but Youhan declined.

Just like that, the two of them returned to Tianqin Bay together.

The moment she opened the door, Jiang Moxi felt as if everything had returned to the days before she and Youhan had parted.

Everything in the house was arranged just as she had left it that day.

Except on the cabinet, the cups that had previously disappeared were once again neatly arranged, and there were several more sets of coffee cups on top.

Youhan followed Jiang Moxi into the house and noticed her eyes lingering on those cups, so he casually explained.

"A new cleaner came before; she put the cups in the sterilizer. I asked her to put them back where you like them."

As for those new sets of cups, they were actually the ones ordered by Chi Jing before.

Chi Jing later put the cups in the car’s trunk.

When Youhan needed to use the trunk, he saw them and brought them back to the location Jiang Moxi liked.

Jiang Moxi looked at these attractive cups, feeling as if a part of her heart suddenly became messier.

Luckily, at this moment, the phone that Ling Ye had just returned to her rang.

Jiang Moxi quickly withdrew her gaze to check the message Ling Ye sent.

"Moxi, even though you’ve moved into my uncle’s house, don’t covet my uncle; the consequences of angering him are beyond what you or I can handle."

"How about this, I’ll send you a few photos of my uncle to quench your yearning."

At first, the text message Ling Ye sent seemed to fit his goofy thinking.

Then, the guy suddenly sent several image messages.

Jiang Moxi was puzzled about what he had sent, only to find upon opening the messages...

Good heavens!

All were photos of Youhan!

Some were cropped from financial news images, some from their family portrait, and some likely were Ling Ye’s sneak shots.

Those cropped images showed Youhan in business attire, looking very formal.

But in Ling Ye’s secretly taken photos, there were several of Fu Youhan in a bathrobe.

Especially one where Fu Youhan’s bathrobe neckline was loose, revealing every inch of muscle exuding strength... it looked downright indecent!

And Jiang Moxi didn’t expect her phone to keep making sounds, coupled with her bewildered gaze, made Fu Youhan think she was watching some adult-rated movie.

So, Fu Youhan couldn’t resist taking a peek at her phone screen.

But it was that glance that made the man’s lips slightly curl up.

Then his long arm encircled Jiang Moxi’s waist and he whispered into her ear with his thin lips.

"Do you want to see me in a bathrobe? I can wear it for you later, or even not wear it at all, I allow you to look! No need to lust over a mere photo."

Jiang Moxi froze on the spot!

This is probably what they call a socially embarrassing scene!

She was just checking her messages, yet Fu Youhan caught her looking at his bathrobe photos!

And Fu Youhan even intentionally emphasized the words "lust over," making it sound ambiguous.

For a moment, it felt like they were back to those intimate nights.

But Jiang Moxi’s remaining rationality made her push Fu Youhan away.

"It was Ling Ye who misunderstood that I had feelings for you and sent me these pictures. Rest assured, since we are already separated, I won’t have any inappropriate thoughts towards you."

People say, getting back together is repeating the same old patterns.

So even though those cups are still there, she is afraid to have her heart lifted high only to be shattered again.

But Fu Youhan still stared straight at Jiang Moxi: "I allow you to have inappropriate thoughts about me!"

"Thank you, but no need. I will find a house and move out soon."

As for that guy Ling Ye, she will find time to beat him up.

After saying that, Jiang Moxi walked away without looking back towards the previous room.

Fu Youhan watched Jiang Moxi’s retreating figure, wanted to follow, but ultimately gave up.

Actually, his plan tonight was just to bring her back to Tianqin Bay.

As for getting back together...

He believes that as long as Jiang Moxi stays in Tianqin Bay, everything is possible!

So Fu Youhan returned to the master bedroom and made a call to Chi Jing, instructing him to find someone to prevent Jiang Moxi from renting a house.

After Chi Jing agreed, he asked Fu Youhan, "Miss Luo is almost sorted out. Need to do anything else?"

"No need, but I don’t want to see her for now, so Miss Luo will have to stay with them for a while," said Fu Youhan.

Chi Jing quickly made arrangements: "Then I’ll have people guard the gate and deliver meals to them on time."

In the following few days, Jiang Moxi was busy looking for a house.

But whether it was close to New Year’s Eve or some other reason, each landlord would seem ready to sign the lease but then suddenly back out.

Jiang Moxi was helpless since no contracts were actually signed.

Time flies, and soon it was December 28th.

That day, Luoxia’s father Luo Yuntian found Si Lin, asking if he knew where Luoxia had gone.

At that time, Si Lin was still in some nightclub, surrounded by long-legged beauties.

Hearing the reason Luo Yuntian came looking for him, Si Lin didn’t care: "Her legs are on her body. Why ask me where she ran off to?"

Luo Yuntian didn’t want to stay and watch the heart-wrenching scene.

But Luoxia had been missing for several days, the Luo Family had exhausted all means in search of her, but no clues were found, even reporting to the police was of no help.

Luo Yuntian really feared something bad had happened to Luoxia, after some painful consideration, he said:

"I know you don’t like Luoxia, but if you help me find her, I will handle everything. I’ll stop Luoxia from bothering you and won’t let your grandmother force you to marry her."

Since Si Lin agreed to date Luoxia, every day felt like a nightmare, and he was eager to clear up everything.

So Luo Yuntian’s proposal was quickly accepted by Si Lin, who then began to inquire about Luoxia’s whereabouts.

About half a day later, there was progress.

"What, Luoxia is with Fu Youhan?" Si Lin’s voice turned cold, and his sharp eyes narrowed further.
