The Time-Limited Love and Marriage

Chapter 95: Chapter 95

"The tutor from yesterday suddenly resigned with Chi Jing, telling us to find someone else more capable, so I came over to take a look."

Fu Youhan was pushed into the house by Chi Jing, his deep eyes searching for Ling Hua’s figure.

But there was no sign of her in the living room or even in front of her favorite projector. Instead, he saw a dark blue backpack on the sofa, with a teddy bear hanging on it.

Fu Youhan’s gaze lingered on the teddy bear for a few extra seconds, simply because it looked familiar, like he had seen it somewhere before.

"That tutor indeed left, but I’ve already found a new tutor for Huahua," Ling Ye said.

"You found one?" Fu Youhan’s eyes paused for a moment, "Is this person reliable?"

"Should be reliable," Ling Ye said with an awkward smile.

In reality, he didn’t have much confidence either, after all, Jiang Moxi’s grades were even worse than his.

"What do you mean ’should be reliable’? Do you have the tutor’s information? Let me see it."

The tutors Fu Youhan found for Ling Hua in the past were all graduates from prestigious universities, some even from overseas, shining bright in their teaching careers.

He paid great attention to the tutors’ academic pedigree, and Ling Ye knew this.

So Ling Ye could only explain, "Uncle, I don’t have the tutor’s information, but you know this person, and she’s currently at home conducting a preliminary test with Huahua."

"I know them?" Fu Youhan squinted slightly, wondering when he had gotten to know a tutor; he was unaware.

At that moment, Ling Hua’s room door opened, and she walked out one after another with Jiang Moxi.

"Uncle," Ling Hua greeted Fu Youhan.

Jiang Moxi also followed Ling Hua and called out Uncle.

To be honest, Jiang Moxi was feeling a bit guilty at the moment.

Her grades were terrible, and now she had ended up tutoring Fu Youhan’s niece and nephew, feeling no different than a charlatan.

Meanwhile, Fu Youhan observed Jiang Moxi’s eyes darting around, not daring to meet his gaze, as he adjusted his tie with long fingers, a slightly wicked smile on his lips.

"I didn’t know you had the potential to be a tutor."

Jiang Moxi found the man’s sarcastic smile too glaring and retorted annoyed:

"How would you know if I don’t have the potential to be a tutor without giving it a try?"

"If I remember correctly, you’re currently attending Technical College," Fu Youhan’s expression remained unchanged.

Her school, her grades, and her appearance, Fu Yiming’s family had always complained about them in front of the old lady, laying the groundwork for breaking off the engagement.

Over time, Fu Youhan also became well-versed with these details.

Jiang Moxi was about to explain something to Fu Youhan’s questioning gaze.

Unexpectedly, Ling Hua joined in at this moment.

"Uncle, not only is Moxi at the same school with my brother, but she’s also the very last in her class, the only one with worse grades than my brother."

Although she had accepted Jiang Moxi’s preliminary test, she still hadn’t fully accepted this tutor with worse grades than hers.

Fu Youhan now looked at Jiang Moxi with a half-smile as if his deep eyes were endless abysses, as if to devour Jiang Moxi’s soul.

"Really? You’re at the bottom of your class, and still want to tutor someone? Aren’t you afraid the student’s grades will deteriorate even more?"

Although Jiang Moxi still felt guilty, in her eyes, nothing was more important than making money.

So she still brazenly said, "Ling Hua’s grades really don’t have much room to fall. Even with tutors from prestigious schools, it’s not certain she can catch up before the college entrance exam, so why not let me have a try?"

Ling Hua really wanted to refute Jiang Moxi, but she had to admit that Jiang Moxi had a point.

She had wasted too much time before, and now trying to catch up in such a short period was really tough.

"You suggest a way to test then. I can’t let Huahua waste an entire year with you."

Fu Youhan looked at Jiang Moxi, and found her unguarded appearance really attractive, even a single strand of her hair seemed to have the power to entangle a person.

But he couldn’t just because she was pretty, waste his niece’s precious year on her.

"Then give me half a month, I heard from Ling Hua that there is a mock test in half a month. If I can help her improve by twenty places in that test, let me stay as a tutor. If not, I’ll step aside voluntarily. How about that?"

Jiang Moxi proposed directly.

Fu Youhan raised his eyebrows at her, realizing for the first time that she was really striving to earn money.

So he became somewhat curious, what did she need so much money for?

If it was just for tuition and daily expenses, then what she earned part-time at Night Color was already way too much.

Jiang Moxi waited for Fu Youhan’s response, but the man remained silent.

Eventually, she took the plunge and said bluntly, "Uncle, just give me half a month’s time."

Fu Youhan came back to his senses amidst her slightly coquettish tone and looked at her with raised eyebrows in slight astonishment.

Because this was the first time he remembered Jiang Moxi speaking to him with such a coquettish tone.

Her voice was sweet with a hint of soft cuteness, involuntarily melting his heart.

Under his raised eyebrows, Jiang Moxi realized that her tone had been quite improper, and her ears instantly felt hot as if they were on fire.

Ling Ye thought they were both staying silent because the conversation was going south, so he quickly joined in to persuade.

"Uncle, you might not believe it, but Moxi even taught calculus to her class before, and in one month she raised the class’s average score by 10 points. So just let her have a try..."

Ling Ye was going to add that if Fu Youhan didn’t believe it, he could go to Technical College and ask about this.

But before he could finish, Fu Youhan interrupted, "Alright, I’ll give you half a month to try."

Once Fu Youhan said this, Jiang Moxi smiled.

That smile was as bright as the melting snow and rippling crystal waters, and even Fu Youhan was momentarily stunned.

And Ling Ye smiled as well, "I knew Uncle dotes on me the most."

Indeed, Ling Ye believed that Fu Youhan agreed to give Jiang Moxi a chance all because of his plea.

The more he thought about it, the more bashful he felt; at his age, why does Uncle still pamper him like a kid!

Among them, Ling Hua was the most confused.

Were they really deciding to hand her over to Jiang Moxi, the bottom-ranked student?

Once the matter was temporarily settled, it was already dinner time.

Ling Ye asked them both to stay for dinner, but Jiang Moxi said, "I have to work tonight, so I won’t stay."

"I have things to do this evening, I won’t stay either," Fu Youhan followed suit.

But after saying that, he glanced at Jiang Moxi, "Need a ride?"

"Thank you, Uncle," Jiang Moxi, with reddening ears, left with Fu Youhan.

And Ling Ye, by chance during the farewell, noticed Jiang Moxi’s red ears.

And every time Jiang Moxi looked at his uncle, her eyes seemed distinctly flustered.

Ling Ye thought: Trouble, Jiang Moxi has a secret crush on Uncle!
