The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Chapter 55

The next evening, Jiang Moxi went to her part-time job at Night Color as usual.

But today, the ninth-floor private room had many visitors, including Fu Youhan, Ye Chen, Yu Dingding, and Lin Xian, with the rest being unfamiliar faces.

Fu Youhan was seated at the most inner part of the room with a casual and relaxed posture, yet he exuded an innate nobility and presence, like the bright stars above that look down upon all creation.

Next to him, several well-known figures from the circle were engaged in conversation with him.

Fu Youhan spoke only occasionally, his tone indifferent and aloof, creating a sense of distance.

When Jiang Moxi’s gaze met Fu Youhan’s, his eyes quickly landed on her.

His look was full of aggression, that of a man’s gaze upon a woman.

By the time she woke up, she realized that not only had this man not spent the night in her room but he had also left Tianqin Bay soon after the deed was done.

However, he had arranged breakfast for her that morning.

Thus, this was also the first encounter between the two since last night.

Perhaps there were lingering thoughts, Jiang Moxi always felt there was something more in Fu Youhan’s eyes when he looked at her.

"Come here," said Fu Youhan, looking at her.

Those around Fu Youhan also turned their attention to Jiang Moxi, prompted by his words and gaze.

The others were fine; after seeing she was just a somewhat unattractive waitress carrying wine, they diverted their eyes.

Only one man with the trendy foil perm favored by playboys still looked at her with a mysteriously chilling smile on his lips.

However, Jiang Moxi didn’t think too much about it and went straight to Fu Youhan’s side.

She poured wine for Fu Youhan, but he took the opportunity to lightly tap the back of her hand and asked, "Are you okay?"

After several days, feeling once again the intoxicating scent from her body last night, he couldn’t help but lose control.

Afterwards, he actually wanted to find some ointment or something to apply to her.

But it was then that his subordinates informed him of the Scavenger’s whereabouts, forcing him to stop everything and leave.

Clearly, Jiang Moxi hadn’t expected Fu Youhan to ask her such questions on this occasion, and her cheeks unconsciously heated up.

But Fu Youhan had an intense gaze, as if he wouldn’t rest until she responded.

So Jiang Moxi stiffened her resolve and replied, "Um, I’m fine."

"Let’s leave together after this ends," Fu Youhan said.

"Okay..."

Jiang Moxi hastily concluded the conversation that made her heartbeat inexplicably quicken, but upon turning around, she noticed that the foil perm man was still staring at her.

He exuded a mix of rascality and chilliness, reminiscent of a predator lurking in the shadows, hunting.

Actually, Jiang Moxi also really wanted to know why this man was looking at her with such eyes.

But at that moment, a girl in a pink CL formal dress, dolled up sweetly, began to cry at Ye Chen’s side, diverting Jiang Moxi’s attention.

"Brother Chen, a relationship that depends on one person won’t last," she sobbed.

With tears and snot, her nose and eyes rimmed red, Jiang Moxi felt a pang of sympathy for the girl.

Yet Ye Chen didn’t even spare the crying girl an extra glance, his focus entirely on the playing cards in his hands.

Annoyed by the girl’s weeping, he simply said, "I’m playing cards. Hold on by yourself for a bit."

Failing to capture Ye Chen’s attention, the girl broke down in tears even harder.

"I just want Brother Chen to coddle me a bit. But you’ve been ignoring me for so many days and haven’t come to look for me."

Ye Chen threw down a bomb and won the round, only then did he finally turn around to give the girl his attention, his peach blossom eyes seemingly smiling yet not.

"If your contact is blocked, how am I supposed to coddle you? Hold a séance and feed you gold ingot candles?"

The girl was momentarily stunned before she began to sniffle and explain.

"I blocked you because your relationship with that female PR seems unusually close, even closer than your relationship with me, your girlfriend. As long as you keep your distance from her, I wouldn’t be mad, and furthermore..."

When she uttered the word "female PR," she purposefully glanced at Yu Dingding with eyes filled with resentment.

Yet Ye Chen didn’t even wait for her to finish her sentence, coldly reprimanding, "Fang Leren, what makes you think you’re worthy of being compared to Dingding?"

At that statement, Fang Leren was so shocked she didn’t know what to say.

Not just her, even Jiang Moxi, the bystander, was startled by some of the information inadvertently revealed in their conversation just now.

This Fang Leren girl is actually Ye Chen’s girlfriend?

So, while dating someone else, Ye Chen still constantly flaunts his presence in front of Yu Dingding?

What puzzled Jiang Moxi even more was how, in Ye Chen’s mind, his own girlfriend wasn’t even comparable to Yu Dingding in any aspect?

Jiang Moxi glanced at Yu Dingding again.

Regardless of what Ye Chen said or did, even if he broke up with his girlfriend right in front of her, Yu Dingding remained completely indifferent.

As if she didn’t know that the "female PR" Fang Leren kept referring to was actually her.

It was as though she didn’t realize that in Ye Chen’s heart, she held a place even more important than his girlfriend, Fang Leren.

"But Brother Chen, I am your girlfriend. How can you say such things about me for the sake of a female PR?"

Fang Leren was even more aggrieved, crying so hard she couldn’t catch her breath.

"In this world, there’s only one Yu Dingding, but as long as I wish, I could have thousands, countless girlfriends."

Facing Fang Leren’s relentless complaints, Ye Chen’s patience had run dry as well.

"Think about what you want for a breakup gift later, I’ll have it purchased and sent directly to your house."

Fang Leren was so frightened she immediately forgot to cry: "Brother Chen, I don’t want to break up! I will definitely stop making a fuss in the future, and I won’t get jealous of Dingding anymore."

Dating Ye Chen, she’d receive extravagant gifts every day and the envy of countless people.

Although rumors said that Ye Chen changed girlfriends as often as he changed clothes, Fang Leren always believed she could be the one to stay with him until the end.

After all, the tenderness and doting Ye Chen showed her was something she never experienced with any previous boyfriends.

That’s why she thought she was special to Ye Chen, that’s why she tried to compete with Yu Dingding, hoping to become the only one by Ye Chen’s side.

But she never expected that Ye Chen would break up with her without a second thought, just for Yu Dingding!

Now Fang Leren was truly scared and regretful, sobbing and begging Ye Chen to stay.

Her crying caused Ye Chen to play the wrong card, and in irritability, he called the manager over to have Fang Leren immediately removed.

As Fang Leren was dragged out of the private room, the atmosphere inside improved tremendously.

And there were even many who teased Yu Dingding: "Look, how good Young Master Ye is to you? He doesn’t even want his girlfriend for your sake. You should at least toast to our Young Master Ye."

Yu Dingding was just about to pour the drink.

However, Ye Chen just smirked, giving Yu Dingding a glance: "Don’t bother with the toast, just don’t always wait until work hours to reply to my messages."
