The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 89

Chapter 89: Chapter 89

This slap was deafening, startling everyone in the classroom significantly.

Originally some were discussing Jiang Moxi’s attractiveness, others were talking about Lai Xueer’s previous flirtations with Ren Huo, and yet others were discussing other matters. Now, all conversations halted, everyone staring in astonishment at this scene.

Jiang Moxi’s slap was forceful, causing Ren Huo’s cheek to swell.

For a moment, Ren Huo was dumbfounded.

In his numerous histories of romances, the biggest setback he’d ever faced was a polite rejection, requiring him to simply try harder.

Never had he faced such a brutal setback as today; he had barely confessed when he received a slap.

"You hit me? Jiang Moxi, you dare to hit me?"

Ren Huo felt furious and embarrassed!

He, the president of the student union at First University, confessing to a poor student of the Technical College, being rejected and even slapped?

If this spread back at First University, how could he face anyone?

But Jiang Moxi showed no sign of fear, her eyes clear and undisturbed.

"Why wouldn’t I dare to hit you? If you keep making noise, I’ll hit you again!"

To her, sleep triumphs over all things!

Right now, anyone who stops her from sleeping is her enemy.

"You’re seeking death!"

Ren Huo could feel that those around him, who were watching, were laughing at him.

He felt if he didn’t teach Jiang Moxi a lesson today, he couldn’t end this situation.

So, Ren Huo reached out, intending to slap Jiang Moxi back.

But as his hand swung out, before it could even touch Jiang Moxi, she grabbed it and delivered another slap.

"Jiang Moxi!"

Ren Huo received two slaps in a row, his cheeks swelling and his expression growing more ferocious.

He struggled free from Jiang Moxi, wanting to hit back.

But Jiang Moxi didn’t say a word and kicked him away.

A seemingly casual kick, yet it sent Ren Huo tumbling to the ground.

At that moment, Ling Ye hurriedly arrived.

"Moxi, I heard someone was causing you trouble. Don’t worry, I’m here to help..."

Ling Ye quickly moved through the crowd, only to find Ren Huo already on the ground.

Jiang Moxi was yawning nonchalantly.

"Huh? You already took care of it?"

Ling Ye was somewhat astonished.

But he quickly remembered how once, a whole group of their friends were downed by Jiang Moxi, and suddenly felt that Ren Huo’s fate wasn’t so unexpected.

Jiang Moxi rubbed her sleepy eyes, about to tell Ling Ye to hurry up and leave, not to disturb her sleep.

Who knew Ren Huo would get up off the ground, glaring fiercely at her: "Jiang Moxi, do you really not like me? This is your last chance!"

Ren Huo, having been beaten so severely, feeling like his dignity was being scrubbed against the floor, felt it was imperative to secure a romantic bond today.

Be it through threats or coercion, he had to solidify a relationship today.

"If you don’t agree today, then I will..."

Ren Huo wanted to threaten Jiang Moxi, to hit her if she didn’t agree.

But Jiang Moxi’s expression was indifferent, not showing any sign of yielding.

Ling Ye, seeing him acting menacingly, quickly stepped forward and asked, "What will you do?"

Ren Huo felt confident that he could take on Jiang Moxi in a one-on-one fight.

But taking on Ling Ye, the school tyrant, in a single combat, he definitely couldn’t win.

To beat up Jiang Moxi, the words got stuck in his throat.

In desperation, he pointed his finger at Lai Xueer nearby.

"If you don’t agree to me, I’ll be with her forever and never give you a chance!"

Jiang Moxi’s lips twitched noticeably twice.

Lai Xueer was somewhat confused, their confessing and fighting was their own business, why drag her into it?

And the bystanders were also stunned, none of them understood what kind of bizarre move Ren Huo was pulling by suddenly involving Lai Xueer!

Ling Ye directly laughed out loud: "Bro, what kind of logic is that? You fail in confessing to Moxi, what does that have to do with Xuexue?"

But Ren Huo gritted his teeth, "This is my business, it’s none of your concern."

Ling Ye responded, "You might say other matters don’t involve me, but I am definitely getting involved when it comes to Xuexue’s matters."

But Ren Huo said, "Who do you think you are? I’ve made my statement clear. If Jiang Moxi doesn’t agree to me, I’ll be with Lai Xueer right away!"

Jiang Moxi was very straightforward: "I don’t agree."

Ren Huo glared at Jiang Moxi in frustration.

Ling Ye sneered lightly: "You hear that? My brother doesn’t agree with you! Also, don’t even think about Xuexue, she will absolutely not agree with you either!"

Ling Ye’s confidence, sourced in his faith in Lai Xueer, also came from the fact that he had pursued Lai Xueer for over a year and she had always been lukewarm towards him.

What Ling Ye never expected was that he’d be proven wrong the next moment.

"I agree with you!" Suddenly, Lai Xueer spoke up from not far away.

This not only stunned Ling Ye, but Jiang Moxi was dumbfounded and all the onlookers were flabbergasted as well.

It felt as if a flock of crows flew overhead, leaving behind many black spots.

So today they were not just witnessing the fresh campus beauty being confessed, they were also witnessing a major love triangle car crash?

And under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Lai Xueer actually took a few steps towards Ren Huo, looking earnestly at him and said: "Let’s start dating."

Ren Huo’s heart was complicated; after seeing Jiang Moxi’s true colors, his heart no longer held Lai Xueer.

It seemed, opting to date Lai Xueer now felt like finding a stand-in.

Being dispensable and flawless.

But to take back his words, he felt it would make his grand statements sound like farting.

So, in the end, Ren Huo endured the humiliation and nodded, grabbing Lai Xueer’s hand: "Let’s go."

Just before taking steps away, Ren Huo gave Jiang Moxi a glance, as if to tell her, "Today you ignore me, tomorrow you won’t be able to reach."

But in reality, watching his face marked with two handprints trying to glance at her with his nostrils, Jiang Moxi really didn’t want any part of him.

At this moment, the previously silent Ling Ye seemed to have snapped back to reality, questioning Lai Xueer’s retreating figure.

"Xuexue, why?"

Lai Xueer stopped, turned around to look at Ling Ye, seeing his beautiful eyes filled with melancholy and helplessness, she felt a bit disgusted.

Ling Ye thought that Lai Xueer was wavering, and hurriedly reached for her hand.

"If it’s because I protected Moxi, then I can explain it to you. Not only has Moxi helped me, but also my sister, I..."

Ling Ye wanted to say that his protection for Jiang Moxi had nothing to do with romance.

But Lai Xueer did not wait for him to finish, and shook off his hand with force.

"It’s not because of that. You should know, some people are born in Rome, but some are just born beasts of burden. If you choose to be a beast of burden all your life, that’s your problem, don’t drag me into it!"

Lai Xueer felt that she was officially together with Ren Huo and although the process was not glamorous, it was a step into a wealthy household.

Thus, she couldn’t be bothered dealing with Ling Ye anymore.

She just took this opportunity to speak her mind and then left hand in hand with Ren Huo, heading towards their happy future together.

Only Ling Ye, long after their departure, still stood there blankly.

"So she wasn’t afraid that dating would affect her studies, but because I am a ’beast of burden’, she refused me?"
