The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 519

Ye Chen retorted to Yu Dingding, "You believed her just because Xiao Moxi said that?"

Although Ye Chen had also witnessed Jiang Moxi’s incredible abilities, like her design talent, marksmanship, and hacking skills...

Nevertheless, when it came to her supposedly deducing secret formulas through the effect of drugs, Ye Chen found it hard to believe.

But Yu Dingding said, "Yes, why not believe her?"

It was also because Yu Dingding had unconditionally trusted Jiang Moxi from the start that they had met and become good friends.

Seeing Ye Chen still looking unconvinced, Yu Dingding began to unbutton her collar.

Ever since being with Yu Dingding, Ye Chen had not approached other women.

Plus, during this time, as Yu Dingding refused to forgive him, Ye Chen hadn’t had a chance to vent.

Suddenly seeing Yu Dingding start to undress before him, Ye Chen’s Adam’s apple bobbed several times.

"Baby, you want it now, don’t you?"

But as soon as he spoke, Yu Dingding gave him a stern look, "Don’t think too much. I just want to show you this mark..."

Saying so, Yu Dingding pointed to a barely visible burn near her chest.

"Do you remember this scar? This was from when your Qin Shuang splashed sulfuric acid, even the doctors said it would definitely scar."

Originally stirred up, Ye Chen suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over him upon seeing the scar near Yu Dingding’s chest, sobering up quite a bit.

Seeing that scar reminded him that he, for someone like Qin Shuang, had let Yu Dingding swallow such an injustice from being burnt by sulfuric acid.

Just thinking of this made Ye Chen’s throat tighten.

And Yu Dingding, seemingly unaware of his remorse, continued talking about the scar.

"Moxi saw how upset I was and went back to concoct a medicinal ointment for me. Look here, the scar has faded quite a bit and it only becomes slightly visible when my body temperature rises."

After Yu Dingding finished speaking, she began to button up.

However, Ye Chen suddenly grabbed her hand, his voice hoarse, "Dingding, I’m sorry... At that time, I only saw her as my lifesaver, but now every time I remember it, I almost want to strangle myself."

Yu Dingding smiled and pulled her hand away from Ye Chen’s.

"I’m not telling you this to make you feel guilty or to make you compensate me for anything. I just want you to know that my friend Jiang Moxi is very capable, and whatever she does, I trust her."

Ye Chen, always eloquent, was at a loss for words at that moment.

He only knew that he, too, wished to be unconditionally trusted by Yu Dingding like Jiang Moxi.

Elsewhere, Fu Youhan had just left the hotel and happened to run into Fu Wangning.

Indeed, Fu Wangning had later found out the hotel where Fu Youhan was staying, and booked a room on the same floor.

But every time Fu Wangning actively invited Fu Youhan to have a drink or eat dinner together, he declined.

Thus, Fu Wangning could only hope for a chance encounter with Fu Youhan.

However, even after nearly half a month of staying in the same hotel, Fu Wangning had never encountered Fu Youhan.

Fu Wangning even asked the waitstaff to find out when Fu Youhan went in and out of the hotel.

But the staff told Fu Wangning, "Mr. Fu often is not in the hotel at night."

Fu Wangning couldn’t help but think, on the nights Fu Youhan is out of the hotel, could he be spending them with Jiang Moxi?

She was so jealous she was nearly mad, but besides jealousy, she had no other recourse.

She had gradually lost hope for a casual run-in with Fu Youhan.

Who knew that today, heaven would give her a surprise.

Fu Wangning had just entered the hotel when she saw Fu Youhan walking toward her from afar.

This man was tall with long legs, and his looks and demeanor were extraordinary.

Whenever he appeared, he attracted attention like a beam of light.

Fu Wangning looked at the man, unable to hide the joy in her eyes.

"Brother Han, are you coming out to eat? Maybe we could go together..."

But just as Fu Wangning began speaking, she noticed the man’s expression was unusually cold. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

His dark pupils seemed to harbor hidden icy blades, threatening her life.

What hurt Fu Wangning the most was the man’s blunt questioning:

"Why did you and your students team up to coerce Xixi into agreeing to your challenge?"

"Brother Han, it wasn’t me, it was Moxi who started it. She openly questioned my research results in class, and my students just couldn’t stand her disrespect and wanted to stand up for me."

Fu Wangning tried to explain to Fu Youhan.

But in her eyes, Fu Youhan’s heart had already leaned toward Jiang Moxi.

Otherwise, why would Fu Youhan disregard their years of friendship, just to blame her for Jiang Moxi’s accusations?

"Research results aren’t absolute either, why can’t they be questioned?"

Under Fu Youhan’s accusations, Fu Wangning’s eyes filled with tears.

"But Brother Han, I’m a professor invited by the school. I must have my merits that warranted the school’s invitation. If every student questioned my theories and results, how could I continue as a professor?"

"Don’t think I can’t see it, you’re just trying to drive Xixi out of the academy!"

Under Fu Youhan’s stern reprimand, Fu Wangning shed tears.

"All in all, you just care about Moxi. What about me? Brother Han, what about me! I entered your life much earlier, and we have so many beautiful memories together."

Fu Wangning really couldn’t accept it. Jiang Moxi had come later yet surpassed her own place in Fu Youhan’s heart.

But Fu Youhan asked her coldly, "Xixi is the person I want to spend my life with, shouldn’t I care for her?"

As for the latter question from Fu Wangning, Fu Youhan did not respond, feeling it was unnecessary.

Indeed, Fu Wangning had been in his life earlier, but what did that matter?

Fu Youhan had always seen her as a sister, and those so-called good memories didn’t mean anything in front of Jiang Moxi.

Under his merciless response, Fu Wangning cried bitterly.

But Fu Youhan did not give her another glance: "Fu Wangning, you better cancel this competition. Otherwise, don’t blame me for turning my back on you!"

With those words, Fu Youhan left the hotel.

Watching his indifferent departure, Fu Wangning’s tearful eyes burst with deep hatred.

"You care about her so much, you hurt me just to protect her, right? Fine, then I’ll make sure she’s utterly ruined and meets a terrible end!"

Immediately, Fu Wangning took out her phone and dialed the number of a platform’s president.

"Hello, President Lin? This is Fu Wangning!"

"I hope you can organize a special traditional Chinese medicine competition, I have the topic ready on my side..."

President Lin thought Fu Wangning’s proposal was good, but he didn’t forget to ask, "Then Professor Fu, my illness..."

Right, President Lin and Fu Wangning met also to treat his serious illness.

But recently Fu Wangning had been always saying she was too busy, and that had delayed things.

Now that Fu Wangning approached him, President Lin naturally took the opportunity to mention it.

"Leave your illness to me."

With Fu Wangning’s assurance, President Lin immediately arranged several people, planning the live broadcast traditional Chinese medicine competition Fu Wangning wanted...
