The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Chapter 97

Jiang Moxi had just returned to the classroom when she was stopped by Lai Xueer.

"What now?" Jiang Moxi frowned.

Why is it that one by one today, everyone wants to stop me and lecture me?

Lai Xueer arrogantly tilted her chin up and said, "Jiang Moxi, no matter how you conspire with Ling Ye, it’s impossible for me to be with him!"

Jiang Moxi looked at Lai Xueer’s face, which was full of an inexplicable sense of superiority, and was somewhat bewildered.

So Lai Xueer thought that Ling Ye was in such a hurry to call her out just to team up to win her back?

"Don’t worry, as long as my head isn’t broken, I wouldn’t help him do such a foolish thing."

After a playful smile, Jiang Moxi brushed past Lai Xueer and headed straight for her own seat.

But Lai Xueer didn’t seem to be reassured at all and growled at her retreating figure, "I’m not joking with you! Even if I broke up with Ren Huo, I wouldn’t give Ling Ye any chance!"

Though she had only dated Ren Huo for one day, she experienced how soft the beds were in a five-star hotel and witnessed the dizzying rapid flow of money in high-end spending places...

She realized she couldn’t adapt to an ordinary life anymore, and she only wanted to use the best years of a girl’s life to aim for social climbing and become one of the elite!

That’s why she’s even more afraid of poor boy Ling Ye blocking her suitors, so as soon as she realized Ling Ye might ask Jiang Moxi for help, she immediately wanted to nip it in the bud.

However, after Lai Xueer made a fuss for a long time, Jiang Moxi only turned to glance at her: "..."

Sick, and not lightly.

"Moxi, why have you been so close to Ling Ye these past two days? I heard from classmates that you even went to Ling Ye’s house yesterday?"

As soon as Jiang Moxi returned to her seat, Mu Wanting immediately came up for the scoop.

Mu Wanting had skipped class yesterday and didn’t know this gossip; otherwise, she wouldn’t have missed the first taste of fresh news.

"You’re overthinking it. I went to Ling Ye’s house to tutor his sister."

Jiang Moxi said in an ordinary tone, but that made Mu Wanting so scared her lollipop nearly fell out of her mouth.

"Tutor? You?"

Mu Wanting genuinely felt that Jiang Moxi had become conceited recently.

A student who ranks last in the entire nation’s bottom-tier colleges, daring to be someone’s tutor!

But she was embarrassed to smack down Jiang Moxi’s confidence, so she could only say, "Actually, it’s pretty good, after all, one should have dreams. Who knows, you may get lucky!"

Jiang Moxi was busy pulling out several sets of college entrance exam questions from her bag, planning to organize a studying strategy for Ling Hua, and had no time to deal with Mu Wanting’s consolation that she couldn’t tell if it was meant to be encouraging or disparaging.

Seeing Jiang Moxi busy flipping through books, Mu Wanting felt the scene was a bit of an eyesore and simply picked up the lollipop that had fallen, continuing the gossip.

"So Lai Xueer approached you just now because she thought you were getting involved with her and Ling Ye? I heard that she broke up with Ren Huo after only one day, and moreover, mysteriously, Ren Huo broke both his legs and withdrew from First University. She’s probably trying to get back with Ling Ye, right?"

"You think too much. She’s just worried that Ling Ye might ask me for help to win her back."

Jiang Moxi didn’t even look up, working against the clock to write the study strategies.

Mu Wanting, however, was made to feel a chill in her heart by Lai Xueer’s unwarranted confidence...

That evening, Jiang Moxi arrived at Night Color later than usual.

When she pushed open the private room on the ninth floor, she found that there were quite a few people there that night.

Fu Youhan sat in the innermost position.

The dim lighting made his features even more angular, and his pitch-black pupils had a soul-devouring charm that made it impossible to take one’s eyes off him.

As soon as Jiang Moxi entered the private room, her gaze fixed on him.

The latter, seeing her, also gathered a smile in the depths of his eyes, making that handsome face even more captivating.

Perhaps Third Master Fu’s expression changed too noticeably, causing countless onlookers in the private room to follow his gaze and look towards Jiang Moxi.

"This is Jiang Moxi? The ugly waitress from before?"

"No way, how could she become like this in just a few days? Could it be a different person?"

"This face must have gone through thousands of cuts, right? How could it be so enchanting and seductive naturally?"

Some insiders who hadn’t seen Jiang Moxi’s true face started to discuss her excitedly when they saw her.

Ye Chen then joked: "Haven’t you ever considered that she might have looked this way to begin with? Otherwise, whom do you think would catch your Third Master Fu’s eye?"

People started to chatter again, while Third Master Fu continued to focus only on the woman in the uniform.

Jiang Moxi wasn’t like those well-known young ladies from aristocratic families, whose makeup was meticulously applied and dresses extravagantly fancy, yet her beauty was like a fresh stream that could engulf you step by step.

Especially her shy, resentful appearance beneath him last night, which could easily make one’s bones go soft without notice.

"Come here."

The man’s tone wasn’t much different from usual.

But for some reason, Jiang Moxi felt her heartbeat quicken during their gaze today, yet she still went to Third Master Fu’s side as always.

After pouring the wine for Third Master Fu, she was about to stand up and leave.

Unexpectedly, Third Master Fu suddenly grabbed her, making her sit next to him.

"I’m still working!"

Jiang Moxi wanted to get up and leave.

At this moment, Ye Chen said, "Xiao Moxi, just by showing your face here, you’ve given my business the best support. It doesn’t matter whether you actually work!"

Third Master Fu seemed to notice Jiang Moxi’s concern and quickly said:

"Get a few more bottles of wine open, tonight’s tab is on me."

Ye Chen immediately raised his eyebrows at Jiang Moxi, "See, I told you so!"

Jiang Moxi had no choice but to sit down.

Yu Dingding took the opportunity to chat with Jiang Moxi, and Ye Chen, worried Jiang Moxi might get bored, teased her for entertainment.

Third Master Fu, needless to say, even had someone send over juice and snacks for her.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Ye Chen suddenly suggested, "How about going to the hot springs this weekend? I bought the area on Nanshan and built a private hot spring resort."

Third Master Fu showed little interest and only asked Jiang Moxi, "Do you want to go?"

"I have a part-time job at the milk tea shop," Jiang Moxi said.

For four years, she had spent almost every weekend part-timing and had never gone out to play.

"If Moxi isn’t going, then I won’t go either," Yu Dingding said.

"Baby, didn’t we agree that we’d go together? How can you stand to let me down again?" Ye Chen complained rather bitterly.

"You said you would invite Third Master Fu and Moxi along, that’s why I agreed. If they’re not going, why would I go alone with you? Want the rumor mills to have more to say about us?"

Yu Dingding’s straightforward rebuttal left Ye Chen no choice but to find another angle to persuade Jiang Moxi.

"Xiao Moxi, how about this, I hire you to look after Third Master Fu at Nanshan over the weekend?"

"I’m not a caretaker," Jiang Moxi replied unmoved, eating her fruit.

"Or... what if I double your salary for participating in this weekend’s activities?"

As soon as Ye Chen said this, Jiang Moxi immediately changed her tune: "Actually, being a caretaker doesn’t seem so difficult."

Ye Chen: "..."
