The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Chapter 72

Jiang Moxi had not yet regained her composure when the familiar magnetic male voice sounded in her ear: "Ready to start the lesson?"

Jiang Moxi was startled for a moment before turning her head only to meet the man’s gaze, tightly locked onto her, seemingly hiding unusual emotions beneath.

But those pitch-black eyes seemed to be able to suck one in, causing Jiang Moxi not daring to explore what those unusual emotions were.

Such a posture was somewhat frivolous and suggestive.

But it was also filled with obvious enticement.

"If it’s convenient for you, then let’s start," Jiang Moxi felt her cheeks get hot unconsciously.

In order to avoid the man’s overly intense stare, she attempted to shift her gaze back to his computer screen.

However, she noticed that Fu Youhan had closed the laptop at some point.

Jiang Moxi couldn’t see the content on the computer screen, so she narrowed her eyes slightly.

She even suspected, for a while, whether the man suggested starting the lesson just to prevent her from seeing the content on the screen, diverting her attention.

"Go take a shower then, wait for me."

Fu Youhan lightly brushed her hair, as if the earlier unpleasantness at Night Color had vanished.

Jiang Moxi didn’t probe further and got up to take a shower.

After all, whatever code Fu Youhan was going to write had nothing to do with her.

Just like their time-limited marriage, there was no reason to dig to the root of things.

By the time Jiang Moxi finished showering, Fu Youhan was already in her bedroom.

The moment she came out, he was right there sticking close.

In a state of floating and sinking, Jiang Moxi seemed to have fallen in love with being with him, captivated by his fresh and cool scent.

She suddenly felt that continuing on with him like this wouldn’t be so bad.

The next morning, when she found a virus had been planted on her phone, Jiang Moxi’s splendid mood after a good sleep instantly disappeared without a trace.

"Time for breakfast, what are you daydreaming about?"

Fu Youhan, upon seeing Jiang Moxi come out from the room and staring blankly at her phone, urged her to eat.

Regaining her focus, she glanced at the breakfast on the table.

There was freshly ground corn juice, as well as fried dumplings, steamed dumplings, and buns.

Some required chopsticks, and some did not.

Jiang Moxi hesitated for a moment before sitting down to eat the corn juice and buns that didn’t need chopsticks, then quickly grabbed her backpack to leave.

"Why did you eat so little?"

Fu Youhan gave a cold glance at the remaining steamed dumplings and fried dumplings and then his gaze returned to her.

"Not hungry," Jiang Moxi originally thought this excuse would be the easiest way to send Fu Youhan off.

Unexpectedly, the man suddenly asked her, "Were you dissatisfied with last night’s lesson?"

Jiang Moxi immediately felt her cheeks burning hot, the heat spreading to her ears.

Annoyed, she glared at Fu Youhan, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Seeing the girl puffed up in anger, Fu Youhan felt that this side of her was vibrant, so he continued to tease her.

"If it wasn’t dissatisfaction with the lesson, why aren’t you eating anything this morning?"

Having spent time together, Fu Youhan had figured out how much she usually eats.

And today, she hadn’t even eaten half of her usual amount.

"I just... am in a rush," Jiang Moxi quickly came up with another excuse, but still couldn’t shut the man up.

"So you were quite satisfied with my lesson?"

Jiang Moxi’s face was teased to a lovely, dripping radiance, and even a good foundation couldn’t hide such a pretty color.

She felt if she didn’t leave now, she would explode with rage, and so she simply picked up her backpack and headed out.

"I have class early this morning, I’m off."

Watching the girl’s almost fleeing back, Fu Youhan suddenly felt that having such a little creature around wasn’t so bad, and he couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

Jiang Moxi, hearing the crystal-clear laughter of the man behind her, quickened her pace, but also couldn’t help but curl her red lips...

Jiang Moxi’s first class this morning was computer science.

Usually, Jiang Moxi would choose a corner seat in the computer class to sleep.

But today, Jiang Moxi picked the usual corner seat, yet she didn’t lay down to sleep right away, instead she took out a USB drive.

Inside it was a set of programs she had previously prepared, which could quickly fix viruses in her phone, and also help her to speed up the computers in the lab to their optimal efficiency, making anything she needed to do easier.

Jiang Moxi repaired her phone and, after triple-checking that no viruses remained, began to type out a long string of code on the computer...

Furthermore, she traced back through the vines and located the IP address that had infected her phone with the virus yesterday.

She even planned on returning a few viruses back to the sender.

But she discovered that the IP address was actually Tianqin Bay...

Piecing together last night’s scenes of Fu Youhan furiously typing away on his computer, yet deliberately dodging to prevent her from seeing his screen, Jiang Moxi suddenly felt a chill all over.

Even the warmth that had built up from interacting with Fu Youhan that morning vanished without a trace in an instant!

So, could it be that Fu Youhan knew her identity, and that’s why he had deliberately hidden from her when retaliating?

No, he probably didn’t know it was her yet.

After all, it was a spur-of-the-moment act, and she had only used her phone.

But she still felt that Fu Youhan was too complicated, too dangerous, and too cunning.

Such a man could never be fallen for, or else it would spell utter doom...

On the other hand, Fu Youhan was attending Fu’s annual shareholders’ meeting.

Though he hadn’t been involved with Fu’s operations for years, he would still make a brief appearance at each shareholders’ meeting.

However, at this moment, Chi Jing pushed open the door of the conference room and quickly came to Fu Youhan’s side, informing in a whispered urgency.

"Third Young Master, a call for you."

Fu Youhan, from Chi Jing’s expression, knew that it was something urgent.

On the main seat in the conference room, Fu Yiming was enthusiastically explaining how his newly led project would bring enormous benefits to the company.

Fu Youhan gave Fu Yiming a glance, then instructed Chi Jing to take him out of the conference room to return the call.

The person on the other end stated:

"It seems like our tactics yesterday have provoked that person. Today he declared we’ve crossed the line, so we’re going to need your help."

"I’m aware."

After hanging up, Fu Youhan had Chi Jing push him to a private office reserved for him within the company and brought over his laptop.

Fu Youhan began tapping out codes.

Most crucially, within several sets of captured codes, he found the suffixes commonly used by Hacker X!

"Is it him?"

Fu Youhan, visibly excited, prompted Chi Jing to lean in closer.

"Who?"

"Hacker X!"

"Hacker X? You mean, the one who’s been causing all the chaos lately is Hacker X?"

Chi Jing had been with Fu Youhan for many years, so he was well aware of the connection between Fu Youhan and Hacker X.

Moreover, with Hacker X having disappeared for four years and Fu Youhan searching for him just as long without any luck of locating him, hope had gradually faded, and Fu Youhan had started to presume Hacker X was deceased.

But today, Fu Youhan had captured signs of Hacker X’s activities—how could he not be thrilled?

"Yes, it’s him. He’s still active, and I can locate his current position. He’s right now in... the Technical College?"
