The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 192

Chapter 192: Chapter 192

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Fu Youhan left Tianqin Bay early in the morning again.

After Jiang Moxi washed up, she saw the delicious breakfast laid out on the table as usual, and took a seat at the table.

But last night, someone had been insatiable, causing her to feel like it was killing her just to sit down today.

She was exceptionally annoyed and took out her phone to send some cursing messages to Fu Youhan, only to find that there were already messages from him in her phone.

"Last night was a bit out of control, and I left in a hurry this morning without applying medicine for you. Remember to apply some medicine yourself when you get up."

Looking at the exceedingly casual tone of someone’s message, the tips of Jiang Moxi’s ears inexplicably felt hot.

Hence, the curse message she was about to send out, turned into a string of ellipses.

Fu Youhan saw the message when he was at the Fu Family’s old mansion, still surrounded by a group of guests.

Fu Youhan disliked this kind of atmosphere the most, yet all these guests were here for him, and Old Master Fu had explicitly ordered him to come home these days.

But Fu Youhan was not one to be arranged by others, and after making an appearance for two days, he directly said, "I have something to do tomorrow; I won’t be coming over."

Hearing this, Old Master Fu’s smile faded slightly.

"What thing? You seem to have not stayed overnight at the old mansion recently."

He slightly squinted his eyes, and the fine lines around them appeared much more noticeable, as if probing for something.

But Fu Youhan still had a cold expression, emotionless as he said, "I’ve been working on a few short-term trades recently, and I haven’t come back because of the upside-down days and nights."

Fu Youhan made a name for himself on Wall Street ten years ago, and even Old Master Fu had no clear idea how much money went into his pockets at that time.

Even now, Fu Youhan probably viewed the entirety of Fu Family’s assets as mere pocket change.

If it weren’t for that car accident back then, he probably could have gone even further.

Thus, Old Master Fu naturally couldn’t let him step away from the Fu Family’s battleship.

"No matter what, Wangning is coming home tomorrow; our family hasn’t had a reunion in a long time. Stay here tomorrow, and I won’t meddle with whatever you want to do the day after."

After the car accident, it was rare for Fu Youhan to start actively participating in the stock market again, leading Old Master Fu to step back a bit.

His reaction was within Fu Youhan’s expectations, so he agreed quickly.

On the other side, Jiang Moxi rested at home until evening, and then went to her part-time job at Night Color.

The manager was pleasantly surprised to see her and wanted to assign her to the private room on the ninth floor again.

But Jiang Moxi declined: "I’ll go to the floor where Dingding is."

And so, Jiang Moxi appeared on the eighth floor.

Yu Dingding came with the label of being exclusively favored by Ye Chen attached to her; no matter which floor she was on, the customers were always packed to the brim.

When Jiang Moxi arrived, she saw Yu Dingding holding a wine glass, being called from one booth to another.

Wherever she went, there was a constant succession of applause and praises – the atmosphere was full of bustle and excitement.

After Yu Dingding toasted a round of drinks to the patrons who came to show support, she returned to the waiting area for a short rest. That’s when Jiang Moxi handed her a few hangover relief pills.

"Are you okay?"

Even though Yu Dingding didn’t drink much at each table, the total amount from twenty-something tables wasn’t small.

At the moment, her cheeks had turned a shade of crimson, and the drunkenness in her eyes was somewhat evident.

"I’m okay. Lately, they’ve restrained themselves and haven’t dared to make things difficult for me," said Yu Dingding.

This was because the incident of Ye Chen teaching a certain playboy a lesson over her not long ago was still being talked about in Night Color.

So, even though these people had the desire, they temporarily lacked the dare, all of them waiting to see what Ye Chen’s stance would be.

But as time passed, she still had little to do with Ye Chen, and she feared those people would come back even more viciously.

Yu Dingding could only take it one step at a time now.

She just hoped to pay off all the debts before these people discovered the real situation between her and Ye Chen.

Jiang Moxi couldn’t help but ask Yu Dingding, who looked exhausted and uncomfortable from the effects of alcohol.

"Didn’t Young Master Ye ask you to go back to being his secretary?"

Right, actually Jiang Moxi felt that Ye Chen did have feelings for Yu Dingding.

So she thought, Ye Chen probably couldn’t bear it and didn’t want Yu Dingding to stay in such a place for too long.

But when Yu Dingding heard Ye Chen’s name, she suddenly let out an ironic laugh.

"His Shuangshuang tried to frame me but ended up being slapped by me, crying and wailing as if she had lost her parents. He must be busy coaxing her and wouldn’t have the time to bother with me."

However, Yu Dingding didn’t know that after Ye Chen left the hospital last night, he had inquired about Yu Dingding’s condition with the manager.

Knowing that those customers were only probing and not daring to truly harm Yu Dingding, Ye Chen temporarily refrained from taking her away by force.

In Ye Chen’s heart, he and Yu Dingding were like in a tug-of-war, seemingly waiting for the other to concede first.

And he wanted to win this battle, to make Yu Dingding understand that hitting someone is wrong, to stop her from challenging his bottom line.

But Ye Chen didn’t know that he had actually already lost Yu Dingding’s heart in this battle...

"Shuangshuang? Qin Shuang? Didn’t you say before that she was sickly? She’s that fierce?"

Jiang Moxi became somewhat curious about Qin Shuang based on what Yu Dingding described.

Before leaving Emperor City, she had never heard of such a person in Emperor City.

"Very fierce indeed. She can turn black into white, often pretending to faint or planting false accusations."

Yu Dingding also said, "The bankruptcy of the Yu Family started with her pretending to be so enraged by me and my dad that she fell ill..."

At that time, Yu Dingding and Mo Yifeng were already discussing marriage.

But Qin Shuang still interfered in their relationship, even doing something as absurd as getting Mo Yifeng drunk at a party and taking him to a hotel room.

Afterwards, Qin Shuang cried to Mo Yifeng, claiming that she was also drunk and had lost her virginity in such a manner, and that she was very pitiful.

Moreover, she took a step back to advance, claiming she wouldn’t forcefully demand Mo Yifeng take responsibility for her, just asking for his forgiveness.

This typical white lotus tactic made it impossible for Mo Yifeng to blame her, so he didn’t pursue the matter.

But Mo Yifeng didn’t know that when Qin Shuang slept with him, she had sent Yu Dingding a photo of the two nearly naked together, even boasting, "Since childhood, there’s nothing Qin Shuang can’t obtain."

Yu Dingding couldn’t swallow this grievance, so at a certain banquet, she had a conflict with Qin Shuang.

Qin Shuang then pretended to have an asthma attack, drawing everyone’s attention, including Mo Yifeng.

Yu Dingding still remembers that day, everyone blamed her, including Mo Yifeng.

After Mo Yifeng took Qin Shuang to the hospital for emergency treatment, the Qin Family turned their fury towards Yu Dingding and the Yu Family, leading to the later bankruptcy of the Yu Family.

Hearing all this, Jiang Moxi was somewhat astonished, "She pretended? Then why did everyone believe her?"

"She’s weak and sickly, always looking pale, so when she’s laying down, it looks quite convincing. But I’m sure she was pretending, I saw her open her eyes and smile at me!"

Yu Dingding also said, "She’s the most cunning and vicious person I’ve ever met."

Yu Dingding was so forthcoming about her past with Jiang Moxi, mainly because Jiang Moxi had returned to work at Night Color, and Qin Shuang was recently mingling with Ye Chen; should they happen to meet, she hoped Jiang Moxi would stay away.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Moxi said, "I really want to see what this sickly girl looks like."

Yu Dingding frowned, about to say something.

At this point, the manager suddenly came to inform Yu Dingding, "Miss Yu, a Miss Qin has requested you by name to accompany her in VIP Room 8090."
