The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Jiang Moxi met the man’s deep and cold black eyes, about to explain something.

But Fu Youhan, without waiting for her to speak, instructed Chi Jing, "Let’s go."

Chi Jing was all about action; as soon as Fu Youhan issued the command, he began to push Fu Youhan’s wheelchair towards the elevator.

Even after the man had gone far away, Jiang Moxi still felt as if her entire being was enveloped in thick ice and snow.

Lin Xian was clearly also frozen by Fu Youhan’s gaze just now, and the first thing he did upon coming back to his senses was to hurriedly check on Jiang Moxi.

Seeing Jiang Moxi’s complexion looking a bit unwell, he hurriedly tried to comfort her.

"It’s okay, Moxi. Third Master Fu is just Young Master Fu’s uncle, not your real uncle, there’s no need for you to be scared of him knowing about you dating."

Indeed, in Lin Xian’s view, the relationship between Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan was limited to the one arising because of Fu Yiming.

That’s why Fu Youhan would take extra care of Jiang Moxi.

And Jiang Moxi, like other young girls, would be afraid of being known by Fu Youhan, an elder, that she has a boyfriend.

But no matter what, Lin Xian felt that stepping in to protect Jiang Moxi when Si Lin was about to get rough with her was very MAN.

Jiang Moxi must have been moved by him just now; perhaps she would even fall for him because of this.

Thinking he was about to successfully win the beauty over, Lin Xian felt himself becoming a bit airy.

But the gap between fantasy and reality is always somewhat large.

Just when Lin Xian thought Jiang Moxi was about to throw herself into his arms, he saw her stride toward the elevator entrance.

"Moxi, where are you going?" Lin Xian shouted, but Jiang Moxi did not look back.

Instead, Si Lin, while smoking a cigarette, teased with a smile that was not quite a smile.

"Young Master Lin, I hear you’re the studious type at First University? Has the bar for being a top student dropped this low nowadays?"

"Young Master Si, these matters don’t concern you." Lin Xian’s face immediately grew much darker.

Actually, with his intelligence, he could, of course, discern that Si Lin was implying something about Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan’s unusual relationship.

In fact, even if Si Lin hadn’t mentioned it, Lin Xian had also vaguely sensed that there was something off about Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan.

It’s just that he absolutely didn’t want to believe it in his heart.

After all, between Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan, there was still Fu Yiming...

Si Lin’s peach blossom eyes, which captivated people, suddenly took on a more amused look.

"So Young Master Lin can see through it, but he just doesn’t want to. I understand then, I wish you happiness in your self-deception."

After leaving behind those words, he too departed.

Only Lin Xian was left by himself, his face gradually fading to grey, lifeless like a doll that had lost its spirit...

On the other side, by the time Jiang Moxi reached the parking lot, Fu Youhan’s car was just parked not far away.

Jiang Moxi hesitated for a moment before getting into the car.

Fu Youhan just looked out the car window, his gaze pitch black, filling the entire car with a suffocating oppression.

Jiang Moxi spoke first: "I have nothing to do with Lin Xian."

Although in her eyes, aside from having two genuine marriage certificates and a few pleasant nights, she and Fu Youhan might as well be strangers.

But she felt it was better to clarify such matters to avoid having Fu Youhan think she lacked a spirit of commitment to the contract.

Fu Youhan pondered for a moment and then said, "I know."

Jiang Moxi actually wanted to ask him, if he knew, why did he just turn around and leave?

But in the end, she still didn’t ask anything.

Their relationship didn’t warrant such prodding.

Returning to Tianqin Bay, the two quickly got into the groove.

But it seemed as if Fu Youhan was still affected by Lin Xian or Si Lin, and his intensity that night was more fierce than ever.

As Jiang Moxi was tossed to the point of dizziness, she seemed to hear Fu Youhan whisper in her ear, "Don’t get too close to Si Lin."

She wanted to say, she hadn’t gotten close to Si Lin, it was all because of him, Fu Youhan.

But she was really too exhausted, and in a half-conscious state, she couldn’t help but drift off into sleep...

Perhaps because last night had been too overwhelming, when Jiang Moxi woke the next day, someone had already taken their "tools of the crime" and left Tianqin Bay.

And for the next few days, Fu Youhan didn’t show up again.

Fortunately, aside from her usual classroom naps, Jiang Moxi remained unaffected by Fu Youhan’s absence.

This day, as soon as Jiang Moxi entered the classroom, she lay down on her desk and fell into a deep sleep.

But during the third period of advanced math, her classmates suddenly let out a cry of alarm.

"Teacher Bai!"

"My God, Teacher Bai, are you alright?"

Jiang Moxi was startled awake and looked up to see several classmates supporting their advanced math teacher, Bai Xiaorui.

And Bai Xiaorui was holding onto her round belly with one hand while clutching her forehead with the other, her face pale enough to be frightening.

Looking at Bai Xiaorui’s rounded stomach, Jiang Moxi remembered that Mu Wanting had mentioned Bai Xiaorui was pregnant, but due to health reasons, had to take temporary leave.

Subsequently, Xiao Zhong came to substitute teach for them, but then suddenly resigned, leading the school to arrange for Bai Xiaorui to come back and resume teaching.

Teacher Bai was always gentle with her students, which made her very popular among them.

Seeing her discomfort, some students brought chairs, some brought hot water.

"Teacher Bai, please sit down and rest!"

"Teacher Bai, here’s some warm water!"

After drinking some water, Bai Xiaorui’s color was still pale, clearly not yet feeling better!

So a student suggested, "Why not go home and rest for now?"

But Bai Xiaorui replied, "The teacher can’t rest now. If I do, our class will fall behind again."

"If we fall behind, we fall behind; nothing is as important as your health right now," a student said.

But Bai Xiaorui gently explained, "If we fall behind, the school administration will have complaints. Moreover, if the average score of your advanced math test is failing, I won’t be able to teach at this school anymore."

Some students made a fuss wanting to argue with the school administration, but Bai Xiaorui still spoke softly, calming them down.

"The school leaders have their difficulties too; they currently can’t find a suitable advanced math teacher and are worried I might slack off citing my pregnancy, which is why such performance targets are set."

"Don’t go looking for the school administration; I’ll rest for a bit, I’ll be fine soon."

But Mu Wanting murmured from below: "Teacher Bai is truly kind, even in such a terrible situation she doesn’t complain at all, she doesn’t even speak ill of the school leaders."

Jiang Moxi just so happened to hear her and asked, "How is Teacher Bai’s situation terrible?"

"I heard her husband’s business failed, and now they’re in deep debt. Their wedding house and car have been taken to cover the debts. If she loses her job now, the minute the baby is born, ... the family will have nothing to their name; that’s why she’s gritting her teeth, giving us lessons and hanging on to this job despite she and the baby not being in the best condition..."

Mu Wanting said this, and then Bai Xiaorui attempted to stand up again.

But perhaps standing up was really uncomfortable; Bai Xiaorui’s complexion turned extremely pale for a moment.

The classmates were extremely worried.

"Teacher, you can lecture sitting down," they suggested.

But Bai Xiaorui replied, "But if I don’t stand up, I won’t be able to write notes on the board. Then you might not be able to understand what I’m teaching."

At this moment, Jiang Moxi suddenly walked up to Bai Xiaorui.

While helping to support Bai Xiaorui, Jiang Moxi discreetly checked her pulse and diagnosed the issue as pregnancy-induced exhaustion.

"Teacher Bai, you really need to rest properly now."

Bai Xiaorui turned around and gave Jiang Moxi a smile that was meant to reassure her, "Moxi, don’t worry about the teacher, I’m fine."

If Jiang Moxi hadn’t felt her pulse, she might have been fooled by that smile.

But after confirming Bai Xiaorui’s pulse, Jiang Moxi could not just stand by and do nothing.

"Teacher Bai, please listen to me this time."

After Jiang Moxi finished speaking, she saw Bai Xiaorui’s brow furrowed with worry, so she guessed what Bai Xiaorui was concerned about, and added:

"As for our class’s curriculum, I will take over and teach for you!"

Upon hearing Jiang Moxi’s offer, not only Bai Xiaorui but also the other students in the class turned to look at her in stunned amazement.
