The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 520

Feng Family’s Butler brought Fu Youhan to see Jiang Moxi, who was sitting in Old Master Feng’s rocking chair in the Feng Residence courtyard, rocking and feeding the fish in the pond.

"Miss Xi, Mr. Fu said he has an urgent matter to see you," the butler reminded.

Jiang Moxi turned around to see Fu Youhan and her eyes registered a hint of surprise: "Why are you here?"

Recently at the Feng residence, their interactions had been secretive. Although Fu Youhan slightly resented this, he was also eager for an official acknowledgment, but due to Old Master Feng’s lack of support, and the formidable presence of Feng Ming and Feng Yu, he had to endure it until he could visit Jiang Moxi nightly.

It was the first time in this period that he came to visit Jiang Moxi so overtly and during broad daylight.

Upon seeing Jiang Moxi, Fu Youhan immediately took her hand, his gaze deep and piercing.

The butler frowned at Fu Youhan’s actions.

"Go and brew a pot of white tea for me, and bring some cookies too," Jiang Moxi suddenly instructed.

The butler understood that Jiang Moxi intended to send him away.

But as a servant, he couldn’t really say anything.

"Miss Xi, please wait a moment." The butler left.

Once the butler had left, Fu Youhan stretched out his hand and pulled her into his embrace.

He still carried a strong scent of tobacco, which enveloped Jiang Moxi the moment he hugged her.

Moreover, the man buried his face in the nape of her neck, his voice slightly hoarse: "Xixi, I’m sorry..."

The man’s mood was very low, carrying a certain degree of unease, revealed through the scent of tobacco and his current voice.

But Jiang Moxi was a bit puzzled: "What’s wrong? What have you done to be sorry for?"

"Without me, Fu Wangning wouldn’t have targeted you with that competition. Xixi, rest assured, I will handle these matters for you, you don’t need to bother with her nonsensical harassment."

But after Fu Youhan finished speaking, Jiang Moxi suddenly pushed him away: "You shouldn’t intervene in this matter."

"Why?" Fu Youhan’s deep eyes were filled with confusion.

"I will handle this matter myself," Jiang Moxi said.

Fu Youhan seemed slightly annoyed: "But she clearly wants to do more than just drive you out of Chinese Medicine College, she wants to ruin your reputation."

Jiang Moxi didn’t seem to like studying Chinese medicine very much; these days, Fu Youhan hadn’t seen her reading any related books.

So her entry into Chinese Medicine College seemed more like she was being forced by Old Master Feng, and she seemed very troubled by it.

If Fu Wangning had proposed the competition merely to have Jiang Moxi expelled from the college, Fu Youhan wouldn’t have been so anxious.

But after seeing the dialogue between them when Jiang Moxi agreed to the competition, Fu Youhan felt that Fu Wangning’s intentions definitely went beyond that.

Therefore, Fu Youhan decided he must stop this competition no matter what!

However, he didn’t expect Jiang Moxi to retort, "How do you know that this competition will definitely end with me being disgraced?"

After speaking, Jiang Moxi continued feeding the fish in the pond.

"Xixi, I know you are quite interested in many things, and you are smart enough to learn these things. But in terms of Chinese medicine, it covers a lot, and it requires certain accumulation."

"Fu Wangning’s achievements today are because from the time she started reading, Old Man Fu forced her to read such books, and in her early teens Old Man Fu sent her to study with several veteran practitioners of Chinese medicine..."

Fu Youhan also told her about Fu Wangning’s hardships in studying Chinese medicine, with the intent of persuading Jiang Moxi to give up the competition quickly.

Jiang Moxi did not respond, continuing to feed the fish, uncertain whether she was listening or not.

At this moment, a cheerful voice suddenly came from behind the two, "Your little sister may not necessarily be a match for my granddaughter."

The two turned around and saw Old Master Feng leaning on his cane, touching his now white-bearded chin, with a cheerful expression on his face.

Beside him stood Fu Weidong and Fu Yinghuai.

Fu Yinghuai was holding a small fruit basket and some beautifully packaged small pastries. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Seeing Jiang Moxi turning around, a naive smile appeared on Fu Yinghuai’s handsome face, which seemed somewhat out of place for him.

"Miss Xi, long time no see. I just passed by the pastry shop, not sure what you like, so I packed a variety of small pastries to bring over."

The moment Fu Youhan saw Fu Yinghuai’s smile, he felt that this guy was really liking his Xixi, and his actions were entirely that of a male courting a female.

Seeing that Jiang Moxi couldn’t refuse them, she could only greet them and invite them to enjoy some tea together in the courtyard; Fu Youhan’s face looked as gloomy as a cloud-covered sky.

Thus, Fu Weidong’s smile brightened a bit as he said, "Yinghuai saw the news just released online and was very worried about Xiao Xi, so he dragged me here with him."

Fu Weidong smiled openly, clearly intending to infuriate Fu Youhan.

"It’s fine, our Xixi can handle it well. Don’t worry about these unnecessary concerns, let’s all sit down and have a cup of tea."

Old Master Feng smiled cheerfully, thinking how none of the Fu family’s young talents even started acting yet, they all hurried over to the Feng family, feeling quite proud inside.

The ever-enthusiastic Fu Weidong then suggested, "How about, Xiao Xi, you and Yinghuai add each other on WeChat? That way you two can talk directly, so this old man won’t have to pass messages for you."

Fu Yinghuai was slightly embarrassed.

However, he genuinely liked Jiang Moxi and wanted to interact more with her.

Thus, following Fu Weidong’s suggestion, he asked Jiang Moxi, "Is that okay?"

Just as Jiang Moxi was about to respond, Fu Youhan suddenly interjected, "It’s not okay. I disagree."

This remark surprised Fu Yinghuai a bit, and Fu Weidong slightly narrowed his eyes.

Old Master Feng remained calm, while Jiang Moxi quietly tugged at Fu Youhan’s sleeve under the table, signaling him not to go too far.

But Fu Youhan clasped Jiang Moxi’s hand instead, lightly scratching her palm as a form of subtle punishment.

Between their interactions, Fu Weidong suddenly sneered and questioned: "And what right do you have to disagree?"

"Simply because I am Xixi’s legally wedded husband."

As if to prove he wasn’t lying, Fu Youhan even casually pulled out two marriage certificates.

Fu Yinghuai glanced at the two certificates, then looked at Jiang Moxi, lips pursed, not sure what to say.

Old Master Feng stayed silent throughout, acting as an outsider.

Fu Weidong, however, reached out to flip through one of the marriage certificates before throwing it back to Fu Youhan: "Is tying a woman down with a marriage certificate the way Fu Shaoquan taught you?"

Fu Youhan awkwardly smiled, "He didn’t teach me that, but I think this approach must be inherited from the paternal line."

Fu Weidong, squinting, studied the face so similar to his when he was young, feeling like there was more to Fu Youhan’s words.

But at the moment, to defend his nephew’s honor, Fu Weidong ignored these fleeting thoughts, directly stating:

"Even if mistakes are made, there are chances to correct them. Besides, Xiao Xi is still so young and outstanding, I think she can rectify her mistakes anytime and choose a better person to spend the rest of her life with."

Fu Yinghuai, whether to fulfill Fu Weidong’s hopes or for his own private desires, actually echoed the sentiment.

"Yes, Miss Xi is young and outstanding, even during her ongoing marriage, I am willing to wait for her to choose."
