The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 59

Chapter 59: Chapter 59

Si Lin’s eyes widened in shock, his face turned ashen, radiating a dangerous aura.

The hand holding the wine glass turned white at the joints from clenching too forcefully.

He was only twelve years old when his parents passed away early, and Si Ruo was only four.

Their close kin were all greedy for money.

They claimed they would take care of him and his sister, but in reality, each of them couldn’t wait for their early demise to inherit their vast wealth.

In such an environment surrounded by wolves, he painstakingly raised Si Ruo.

He was not only Si Ruo’s brother but also her father.

Jiang Moxi dared to insult Si Ruo twice in his presence, completely trampling on his bottom line!

His gaze on Jiang Moxi now was no different from a beast about to tear apart its prey.

The others in the private room, upon noticing this situation, subconsciously stopped all their actions, looking at each other.

It seemed surprising that a nobody like Jiang Moxi dared to challenge Young Master Si, not knowing how she would end up.

Yu Dingding was also very anxious seeing this.

Although she hadn’t interacted much with Si Lin, she had heard of his not-so-good reputation.

Especially speaking ill of Si Ruo in front of Si Lin was akin to seeking death.

Yu Dingding was worried that Jiang Moxi being so unrestrained in front of Si Lin would provoke deadly trouble, and was about to dissuade her.

Just at this moment, Ye Chen put his arm around her shoulders.

Yu Dingding turned to see Ye Chen’s enchanting peach blossom eyes deeply staring at her: "Baby, this isn’t your concern!"

"But..." Yu Dingding felt that she couldn’t just watch Jiang Moxi walk into danger.

But Ye Chen said bluntly, "Some people will handle it, you just watch the show."

As his words fell, Ye Chen’s gaze shifted elsewhere.

Following his gaze, Yu Dingding saw Fu Youhan at the far end of the room, his eyes dark and profound, shimmering with a dangerous gleam.

Yu Dingding seemed to understand Ye Chen’s hint and paused for the moment.

While everyone was deep in thought, Jiang Moxi still showed no fear towards Si Lin, even asking with a smile.

"What’s wrong, Young Master Si? Can’t you even take a joke?"

"Is this your idea of a joke? Who jokes like this?"

On Si Lin’s Eurasian face, his eyes were intensely fierce and his expression dark and terrifying.

This was clearly an insult to Si Ruo, stepping on the face of the Si Family.

Facing Si Lin’s undisguised rage, the smile on Jiang Moxi’s lips faded slightly.

"If Young Master Si understands that some jokes can be made and some cannot, it’s best to be more thoughtful in your words and actions in the future!"

Si Lin had smeared her once and now sought to repeat the trick.

She was not a pushover, naturally, she wouldn’t let him bully her again and again!

"Are you teaching me how to handle things?"

Si Lin didn’t expect that in front of so many people in the private room, especially in front of Fu Youhan, he would be lectured by Jiang Moxi, making his expression even darker and his tone colder.

"Since your family didn’t teach you and your sister the principles of dealing with people, society will teach you how to behave!"

The moment Jiang Moxi’s words fell, Si Lin threw the wine glass.

The beautiful crystal glass shattered into pieces the moment it hit the ground.

The harsh sound made one wonder, if Jiang Moxi doesn’t bow and apologize, that shattered glass would be her fate!

Just after Si Lin smashed the glass, he coldly stared at Jiang Moxi.

But Jiang Moxi didn’t back down either, meeting Si Lin’s gaze squarely.

Just as a conflict seemed unavoidable, Fu Youhan suddenly spoke.

"Young Master Si, it was you who joked first, why put on such an unforgiving face now? Can’t you take a joke?"

The crowd turned towards the voice, only to see Fu Youhan’s black eyes devoid of any warmth, filled only with gloom and a soul-devouring chill.

It seemed, was he defending this waitress?

But this waiter, even with makeup, looked no different from a car accident scene, not worth a man’s wrath!

So, Fu Youhan probably just couldn’t stand Si Lin.

It was said that before Fu Youhan had the accident, the competition between him and Si Lin was very fierce.

It was during that time that Si’s surpassed Ye’s, step by step.

But then Fu Youhan had the accident and no longer managed everything in the Fu Family, and Si Lin, as if losing his rival, suddenly went abroad to study.

Yes, Fu Youhan must have been merely displeased with Si Lin, which is why he took the opportunity to humiliate Si Lin, not to protect Jiang Moxi...

And under everyone’s diverse gazes, only Ye Chen glanced at Yu Dingding with a half-smile, as if telling her:

"See, I guessed right, didn’t I?"

Yu Dingding’s hanging heart finally returned to its place.

On the other side, Si Lin looked at Fu Youhan with a cold gaze.

He knew Fu Youhan had resolved to protect Jiang Moxi.

So even if he persisted today, he couldn’t do anything to Jiang Moxi; it would only make him seem like a sore loser.

"Fine, let’s let today’s matter go, so you don’t think I can’t take a joke."

With those words, he stood up and left the private room.

But just as he was about to leave the private room, he suddenly turned back and looked at Jiang Moxi: "There will be other days, Jiang Moxi!"

Jiang Moxi, hearing this, couldn’t help but look up at him.

She saw his deep eyes fixed on her, his thin lips curved into a smirk, sinister yet dangerous...

Quickly, Si Lin turned and left.

Jiang Moxi, even sensing some dangerous signals in Si Lin’s words, remained composed and continued to serve in the private room.

Fu Youhan and Ye Chen among others also carried on as usual, chatting and socializing.

After Jiang Moxi finished her part-time work and returned to Tianqin Bay, she saw Fu Youhan in a black bathrobe in the living room, working on something on his laptop.

On the low table in front of him, there was also a glass of red wine.

Hearing her enter, Fu Youhan looked up.

Noticing her gaze on the wine glass, he raised his eyebrows and asked: "Want a glass?"

"Sure, just a moment." Having been busy all day, Jiang Moxi also wanted to indulge a bit.

She quickly washed up after entering her room, then returned to the living room.

By this time, Fu Youhan had put away his laptop, and there was another glass of wine on table.

Seeing Jiang Moxi’s face freshly washed and dressed in a loose white T-shirt as pajamas, his gaze lingered on her slender ankles, darkening slightly.

He poured a small half-glass of wine for Jiang Moxi, and asked her, "Aren’t you curious why I haven’t come over these past few days?"

"There’s no need to dig into each other’s lives." Jiang Moxi took the wine and sipped it.

Fu Youhan’s eyes dimmed significantly because he knew Jiang Moxi meant that they were just a contract couple, without needing to delve too deeply into each other’s personal lives.

She was very principled, something Fu Youhan should appreciate.

But for some reason, there was an inexplicable emptiness inside him.

At that moment, Jiang Moxi drank all the wine in her glass.

Fu Youhan couldn’t help but ask her, "Aren’t you afraid of drinking too much, which might cause a medication reaction during class?"

"Don’t I have you?" Jiang Moxi directly took the bottle and poured herself another glass.

She knew her body still had remnants of that new medication compound; touching alcohol within a year would cause agitation.

But Fu Youhan was by her side, she could ask for his help anytime.

And they were legally married, a certification of sorts.

Fu Youhan should be pleased with this answer, his earlier displeasure seemed also to have faded.

He initiated a toast with Jiang Moxi, downing his drink in one gulp.

Both were in good spirits tonight, and later, they both drank a lot.

Along with the medication inside Jiang Moxi acting up, what happened later was inevitable...
