The Time-Limited Love and Marriage

Chapter 155: Chapter 155

"Jiang Moxi, wake up!"

By her ear was Si Lin’s anxious voice.

Jiang Moxi really wanted to open her eyes and tell this bastard, "Stay away from me!"

But her eyelids were just too heavy; she couldn’t open them no matter how hard she tried.

Later, she simply plunged into an endless darkness...

In the last moment before Jiang Moxi fell, Si Lin pulled her into his arms.

But no matter how he called, Jiang Moxi kept her eyes shut tight.

Si Lin dared not delay; he quickly picked her up horizontally and hurried away from the Night Color.

However, the two who left did not know that Fu Youhan also came out of the private room shortly after, searching everywhere for that familiar silhouette.

Fu Youhan had also felt that Jiang Moxi’s condition was a bit strange.

So even though he was frustrated, he followed her out, wanting to see what was really going on with her.

He looked around but didn’t see Jiang Moxi, and worried that something might have happened to her. He simply stopped the manager passing by.

"Where is Jiang Moxi? Did you see her just now?"

The manager hurriedly said, "I saw her, she left with Young Master Si. She..."

The manager wanted to explain that Jiang Moxi had fainted and was thus taken away by Si Lin.

But before he could finish, Fu Youhan coldly snapped, "That’s enough, you can get lost."

He was afraid he would hear more from the manager’s mouth that he didn’t want to hear.

The manager opened his mouth, wanting to finish his sentence, but seeing Third Master Fu’s icy gaze, sharp as a tangible blade resting on his neck.

The feeling was like a warning that if he dared to speak again, he could say goodbye to his life.

So the manager still closed his mouth and hurriedly left.

After all, for workers like them, there was really no way to stand up to Third Master Fu who could reach the sky with his arm.

As for the matter of Jiang Moxi fainting...

It’s better to wait for Third Master Fu’s anger to subside before mentioning it opportunely.

After the manager left, Fu Youhan’s gaze turned even colder, and the hand resting on the armrest of the wheelchair turned white because of excessive force.

But he still returned to Tianqin Bay.

He sat in front of the bay window where he and Jiang Moxi had once created countless happy memories, drinking alone, sleepless throughout the night.

It wasn’t until the dawn tinged with a pale light that Fu Youhan realized he had stayed up all night waiting for someone to return.

Even though she had lied to him for another man, even though she had left with Si Lin without a second glance, he still reluctantly longed for her return.

But the answer Jiang Moxi gave him was that she did not return all night...

So, did she spend last night together with Si Lin?

When she was with Si Lin, was she as proactive as she was when she was with him?

Thinking this, Fu Youhan suddenly laughed.

But that smile didn’t reach his dark eyes at all.

He went to the bathroom to wash up, changed into a set of clean clothes, and then left Tianqin Bay.

Before closing the doors of Tianqin Bay for the final time, he thought he would never come here again in the future.

As for who Jiang Moxi ends up with in the future, it has nothing to do with him.

Elsewhere, in a house near Night Color owned by Si Lin—

When the morning light shone through the windows, Jiang Moxi finally roused.

She raised her hand to block the sunlight, and after getting used to the light, she noticed that the decor of the house was extremely unfamiliar.

She sat up abruptly, which also woke up Si Lin who was on the other side of the bed.

"You’re awake? Feeling better?"

Si Lin followed by flipping off the covers, sitting up, and even as Jiang Moxi wore an astonished expression, he raised his hand to touch her forehead.

Jiang Moxi didn’t like his touch and immediately swatted his hand away.

"Jiang Moxi, you fainted. I kindly saved you and took care of you all night long. Don’t be ungrateful!"

Si Lin had been worried all night that Jiang Moxi had a fever-induced delirium; he was so busy checking her temperature and feeding her water and medicine that he hardly slept.

So he was quite irritated when, after much difficulty waiting for Jiang Moxi to wake up, she neither expressed any gratitude nor appreciated his care, but instead repelled his touch.

Hearing what he had done, Jiang Moxi’s eyes flickered slightly.

"You could have just left me there."

What Jiang Moxi meant was that her colleagues wouldn’t have neglected her and would definitely have taken her to the hospital.

But Si Lin misunderstood her, thinking she had ulterior motives, and chastised her coldly, "Even if you were left there, Third Master Fu wouldn’t have picked you up. Do you understand?"

Jiang Moxi didn’t bother to explain; she had already abandoned all thoughts about Fu Youhan.

Yet, now every mention of that person felt like a knife cutting through her heart. So Jiang Moxi chose to remain silent.

Meanwhile, Si Lin thought he had hit a nerve and lashed out angrily once again.

"You usually seem so clever, how come you’re so stubborn about this? It’s hard to find a toad with three legs, but men with two legs are everywhere, aren’t they?"

He grumbled and reached out to touch Jiang Moxi’s forehead, "Hmm, the temperature has gone down. But you still need to take your medicine."

Yesterday, when he discovered Jiang Moxi’s burning fever, he had called a family doctor to examine her.

The doctor gave her an injection and prescribed some medicine.

Jiang Moxi, still feeling a terrible headache, couldn’t stand Si Lin’s nagging.

She went to the bathroom to freshen up, intending to leave afterward.

But it wasn’t until Jiang Moxi entered the bathroom that she realized this wasn’t Tianqin Bay, and she didn’t have her toiletries.

The next second, Si Lin pushed the door open, handing her a set of unused toothbrush and towel.

"Never used by anyone else. I’ve never brought anyone else here."

After saying that, Si Lin himself wondered why he told Jiang Moxi all this.

So, annoyed, he didn’t wait for Jiang Moxi to respond and shut the bathroom door himself.

Jiang Moxi’s mind was still foggy; she couldn’t be bothered to figure out what Si Lin was being sullen about. After washing up, Si Lin insisted she eat some bread and milk and take her medication before she left.

Si Lin, watching her leave swiftly and decisively, started cursing again, "What an awful temper! Don’t expect me to care for you in the future."

"Then don’t," Jiang Moxi left without a backward glance.

Si Lin fumed, "Wicked woman!"

Elsewhere, far away in Larim Castle, Yu Dingding put on a gorgeous dark green sequined deep-V mermaid dress.

Her skin was already as white as snow, but against the dark green fabric, her complexion was flawlessly beautiful.

After putting on the dress, Yu Dingding also applied a sultry red lipstick.

Thus, her casual movements radiated a boundless charm, as if overflowing the bounds of her frame.

"This looks good, doesn’t it?" Yu Dingding walked up to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was going over a scheme for project improvement. Hearing Yu Dingding’s voice, he looked up and his gaze immediately froze on her.

He knew Yu Dingding was beautiful, once the top beauty of Emperor City, that wasn’t an empty reputation.

But he never realized that Yu Dingding could be so breathtakingly stunning, exuding extraordinary allure.

Ye Chen was transfixed on Yu Dingding for several minutes.

Impatient with waiting, Yu Dingding urged him instead, "Didn’t you say the dinner was about to start? Aren’t you in a hurry?"

Ye Chen snapped out of it, his eyebrows arching, "Why are you wearing something so revealing?"

Especially since the dress fit her figure so perfectly, her very movement was tantalizing.

But Ye Chen didn’t expect that Yu Dingding, who just a moment ago was smiling charmingly, now immediately turned cold.

"Aren’t you sending me off to butter up that decrepit old man? Would he take the bait if I didn’t dress like this?"
