Chereads / The Time-Limited Love and Marriage / Chapter 11 - Chapter 11

Chapter 11 - Chapter 11

"Young Master Lin is here to spend tonight. He ordered a lot of alcohol!"

Just as Jiang Moxi changed into her uniform, the manager rushed in and said, "Everyone, go to the 886 private room and help out, quickly!"

"You, the newcomer, go there too."

So, Jiang Moxi followed the others and went to the 886 private room.

"What's your name, newcomer?"

Walking alongside Jiang Moxi was a girl named Yu Na.

She had heavy makeup on, and her uniform had been specially modified to make her appear more attractive than the other hostesses.

However, she didn't quite like being seen with other hostesses who were considered more beautiful, fearing they might steal the customers' favor.

On the other hand, Jiang Moxi, who looked unattractive even with makeup, served as the perfect foil, making Yu Na appear more beautiful.

Jiang Moxi, unaware of Yu Na's thoughts, casually replied, "Jiang Moxi."

"Then, I'll call you Moxi. Young Master Lin is a very generous person. After you enter the room, you don't have to overdo it, and he will still give you a generous tip."

Jiang Moxi nodded and followed Yu Na into the private room.

However, as soon as she entered, she heard a familiar voice, "How dare you play me like this! What do you take me, Lin Xian, for?"

Jiang Moxi followed the sound and saw Lin Xian holding a girl in his arms, chatting and drinking.

There were also several of his friends in the private room.

"So, what made you fall for her all of a sudden? And you took it to such an extent?"

"What do you guys know?"

Lin Xian downed a large mouthful of alcohol.

He didn't want others to know that Jiang Moxi was so beautiful.

It was like their little secret, making him feel special in front of her.

"This must be Young Master Lin's new strategy. He makes the ugly ones fall for him and then completely withdraws, making her taste the despair of heartbreak."

Amid the laughter of the crowd, Lin Xian downed another large gulp of alcohol, trying to wash away the bitterness in his mouth.

"What are all of you standing around for? Can't you see Young Master Lin's glass is empty? Hurry and fill it up!"

His friends urged.

Yu Na stepped forward with a smile, "Young Master Lin, why haven't I seen you for a while?"

Lin Xian, feeling a bit drunk, pulled Yu Na closer, "What? Miss me?"

Yu Na nestled affectionately in Lin Xian's arms and said, "Mm, I missed you."

"Your words are so sweet."

Lin Xian and Yu Na flirted, while others couldn't help but make jokes:

"What's the use of sweet talk? Young Master Lin still only has that ugly woman in his heart!"

"What ugly woman?" Yu Na asked.

"It's an ugly woman he's been pursuing. He used all his romantic moves to chase her, but she played him. Now, he's feeling upset about it! If you have someone uglier, go and call her over. Perhaps she might gain Young Master Lin's favor."

Yu Na didn't take those words seriously and continued to feed Lin Xian with alcohol.

Amid the banter, one of them noticed Jiang Moxi standing in the corner.

"She's also quite outstandingly ugly. Maybe Young Master Lin should take her in?"

Lin Xian followed the person's gaze.

Then, he saw Jiang Moxi standing in the corner and immediately felt a bit sober.

"Moxi? What are you doing here?"

He hurriedly pushed Yu Na aside and walked quickly towards Jiang Moxi.

"I'm working part-time here."

Jiang Moxi remained expressionless.

She knew they were talking about her being the ugly one, but she didn't care.

"Why are you working part-time here? Don't you have enough allowance?"

Lin Xian's concerned tone made everyone in the private room notice something was amiss.

Especially Yu Na.

She couldn't believe that the new ugly girl was the one Lin Xian was pursuing.

Especially Lin Xian's cautious tone just now, it seemed like he was treating Jiang Moxi like a treasure, which made her even more jealous.

They worked for the same nightclub, yet why this woman, who was less attractive than her, still received special treatment from Young Master Lin?

Ignoring the surrounding glances, Lin Xian focused on Jiang Moxi, knowing she was only a foster daughter of the Jiang Family and her treatment couldn't compare to Jiang Weiwei's. He quickly said, "If you need money, just tell me. Quit this job. It's not a place for a good girl like you to stay."

Jiang Moxi couldn't possibly accept his money. "No need, I like to earn my own living."

After saying this, Jiang Moxi nodded slightly to the guests in the room and turned to leave.

As she left, someone exclaimed, "Oh my god, it's the ugly one! Why is she working here?"

"Is she really the ugly girl Young Master Lin was pursuing? Why is she working at a place like this?"

"Maybe it's because she feels safe due to her looks, so she's not afraid?"

Amidst the various opinions of their friends, Lin Xian still chased after Jiang Moxi without hesitation.

In the hallway, he finally caught hold of Jiang Moxi's hand and explained, "Moxi, I had a bit too much to drink. Normally, I wouldn't be overly affectionate with other women."

"What you do with others is your business. Why bother telling me?" Jiang Moxi remained distant, as if treating him as a stranger.

This response angered Lin Xian, "Jiang Moxi, is your heart made of iron? I told you I genuinely like you, even to the point of not caring about others' mockery. Yet, you treat me like this?"

"I never asked you to do all these things," Jiang Moxi tried to shake off Lin Xian's grasp and return to work.

But Lin Xian held on tightly.

He had never wanted someone so much and been unable to get them.

Perhaps due to the influence of alcohol, he decided to be bold and make a direct move on Jiang Moxi.

Just as Lin Xian was about to pull her in for a kiss, Jiang Moxi's eyes flashed with a cold glint, and she was ready to take action.

Unexpectedly, a familiar male voice sounded from behind, "Stop."

"Uncle?" Jiang Moxi turned her head and saw Fu Youhan.

Sitting in a wheelchair, his handsome face displayed a hint of profundity in the semi-darkness.
