Chereads / The Time-Limited Love and Marriage / Chapter 35 - Chapter 35

Chapter 35 - Chapter 35

An hour later, Fu Yiming hurriedly bid farewell to the Jiang family and rushed to meet Liu Er.

"You say you couldn't grab the backpack, but instead, she took your motorcycle? Are you kidding me? Or do you think I'm a fool?"

Fu Yiming had initially believed that obtaining the SereniFlex Pill today was a sure thing.

He had even prepared to consult several experts and study the pill's composition overnight.

But before he could finish his meal, Liu Er called to say that Jiang Moxi had snatched his motorcycle!

According to Liu Er's description, Jiang Moxi displayed exceptional skills.

How could that be possible?

How could a rustic country girl possess such abilities?

And how could she have overpowered a grown man and taken his motorcycle?

Fu Yiming refused to believe such nonsense.

"Young Master Fu, I didn't lie to you. That girl is really extraordinary; she even snatched away my favorite helmet."

Having worked with Fu Yiming and his father for many years, it was the first time Liu Er encountered such a formidable opponent.

Unfortunately, there were no surveillance cameras in the area just now. No matter what he said, Young Master Fu still felt like he was being fooled!

Liu Er felt bitter in his heart but didn't know how to explain further.

"I believed in you, and you couldn't handle such a girl? You're just incompetent..."

In a state of frenzy, Fu Yiming unleashed a barrage of scolding upon Liu Er, criticizing him from top to bottom, before storming off.

Watching Fu Yiming's departing figure, Liu Er couldn't help but feel indignant.

"My beloved motorcycle and helmet were taken by her! It's infuriating! How could you not believe me?"

Liu Er thought of something and said angrily, "Just wait! I will definitely find evidence to prove myself!"

--

Jiang Moxi rode the stolen motorcycle, swaggering along to her night job.

Tonight, Fu Youhan also appeared on the ninth floor.

He was dressed in a charcoal-blue suit, his profile sharp and cold, yet still exuding a captivating handsomeness and elegance.

However, when she pushed open the door to the private room, Fu Youhan only gave her a cold glance before resuming his smoking and chatting with Ye Chen about something.

Jiang Moxi also only spared a brief glance at Fu Youhan before carrying the drinks inside.

Indeed, she showed no surprise or discomfort at Fu Youhan's indifference. In her eyes, apart from a few intimate encounters, he was no different from a stranger.

The only thing that caught her attention in the private room was the woman in Ye Chen's arms, and she wasn't Yu Dingding.

Nevertheless, Ye Chen and the woman remained intimate with each other.

Even though he was busy discussing matters with Fu Youhan, their playful banter never ceased.

The woman was attractive as well, dressed in a champagne-colored deep V-neck dress that showcased her tall and well-proportioned figure.

Yet, she seemed more skilled in flirting than Yu Dingding.

While Yu Dingding and Ye Chen appeared close, they never crossed any boundaries.

However, this woman not only nestled in Ye Chen's arms but also asked quite suggestive questions.

"Young Master Ye, why do guys insert their tongues while kissing?"

This slightly suggestive topic caused Jiang Moxi to inadvertently glance at the two of them.

She saw Ye Chen playfully tapping the woman's nose with his finger, his gaze was affectionate.

"If I were to put my toe into your mouth, you'd probably find it gross."

"Annoying! Young Master Ye, you're so naughty!"

The woman playfully hit Ye Chen, but it was evident that her strength was more like tickling, akin to coquetry.

Jiang Moxi felt a shiver down her spine and was about to avert her gaze when Ye Chen, with precision, looked in her direction and then smiled, saying, "This is Anyang, also known as our Nightless City's courtesan."

Jiang Moxi was taken aback, realizing that Ye Chen was introducing her to the woman.

"Hello," she regained her composure and nodded slightly in the woman's direction.

Setting aside other matters, Jiang Moxi had to show some respect for Ye Chen's sake.

"Hello, Moxi. I've heard about you," Anyang smiled at Jiang Moxi and then shifted her gaze towards Third Master Fu.

It was as if she was subtly implying that she knew the rumors about Jiang Moxi being Third Master Fu's niece.

However, anyone who could become a courtesan in Nightless City must have good emotional intelligence. So, even though she was curious why Jiang Moxi didn't greet Third Master Fu after entering the private room, she wouldn't ask about it directly in front of him.

After exchanging greetings, Jiang Moxi continued to serve drinks. When she was about to leave with her tray, Ye Chen said, "If you want to find Yu Dingding, you can go to the eighth floor."

Jiang Moxi looked up and saw Ye Chen smiling at her, distant but polite, yet genuine.

It was as if she suddenly understood why this man was so popular among women.

It seemed like he could see through what women desired at a glance.

At that moment, a deep male voice came from behind her, "Go and open the bottle of Romanée-Conti that was sent."

Jiang Moxi's wandering thoughts were pulled back as she turned to glance at Fu Youhan.

He was smoking, and the smoke scattered around him, shrouding his expression like a mist, making it hard to see or fathom.

Since she couldn't see through him, Jiang Moxi withdrew her gaze and said, "Sure, I'll bring it right away."

Swiftly, she made her way to the wine cabinet, retrieved the bottle, and then graciously served the wine to the man before discreetly leaving the private room.

After she left, Fu Youhan downed the glass of wine she poured for him in one gulp. Perhaps the red wine hadn't fully matured yet, as it only left a sour and bitter taste in his mouth after the initial intense stimulation, just like that night with them - it started off beautifully, but afterwards, no one wanted to mention it again...

Fu Youhan stared at the empty wine glass with a distracted look when Ye Chen's voice came.

"What's wrong? Did you two have a falling out?"

A couple of days ago, although Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan didn't have the closest relationship, they were still on good terms. Moreover, Jiang Moxi even took the initiative to find Fu Youhan after work.

Ye Chen once thought he could witness Fu Youhan having feelings for someone other than Fu Wangning. Who would have thought that the next day, Fu Youhan didn't even come to see Jiang Moxi?

Even today, he didn't spare a glance at Jiang Moxi, despite showing up here. With his experience of being a playboy for years, Ye Chen could tell that there must be some conflict between the two.

"Tell me what happened. If there's anything I can help with, I'll do my best," Ye Chen said with genuine interest.

Fu Youhan took a deep drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaling before replying, "You can't even help me with bigger matters. Do you think you can assist me with petty ones?"

Ye Chen laughed and replied, "You and I are like blood brothers. Would I ever scheme against you?"

An Yan, who had spent a long time in such places, didn't show any surprise or concern even when faced with the showdown between these two top players.

"Do you really not need my help?" Ye Chen persisted, seeing Fu Youhan's reluctance to speak.

"Why not solve your own problems before helping others?"

As long-time brothers, they didn't need to explicitly spell out what they meant to each other. Ye Chen understood that Fu Youhan was referring to his relationship with Yu Dingding.

Ye Chen glanced at the lovely An Yan in his arms and smiled. "We're both not putting our hearts into it, so why bother solving it?"

Fu Youhan refilled his glass and clinked it with Ye Chen's from a distance, saying, "Agreed."

Then, both of them downed their drinks in one gulp...
