The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 307
CHAPTER 307: CHAPTER 307
On the other side, Fu Youhan was in a meeting.
This company was built with Fu Family’s resources after his car accident which left him in a wheelchair.
In a few years, the company maintained a low profile, but its strength had already surpassed Fu’s, and with the financial support from Fu Youhan, taking over the entire Fu Family was just a matter of time.
However, he rarely appeared at this company, only occasionally attending meetings with key strategic decisions.
Today, he was here for THE ONE Group’s new project.
According to internal information, the new project of THE ONE Group was likely to be jointly developed by the Jiang Family and Emperor City Feng Family.
Naturally, the Fu Family wanted a share of it, so they were actively preparing.
But Fu Youhan planned to kick out both the Fu Family and the Emperor City Feng Family and cooperate with the Jiang Family.
Then, at the very last moment, he would kick the Jiang Family to the curb, delivering the most severe blow to them as revenge for the hurt they had caused Jiang Moxi over the years.
But as the meeting was halfway through, Fu Youhan received new information.
He had been hoping it was from Jiang Moxi, so he opened the message to check.
Unexpectedly, the message wasn’t from Jiang Moxi, but it was closely related to her.
Looking at the photo of the young girl Shu Yani smiling and chatting closely with Si Lin, along with what Ye Chen said: "Guess who I saw at Young Master Si’s birthday party?"
"Snap"...
The pen in Fu Youhan’s hand was broken in two.
Chi Jing noticed this and quickly approached, asking softly, "What’s wrong?"
"Where is Si Lin’s birthday party being held?" Fu Youhan, looking at the broken pen in his hand, had a dense murderous look in his eyes.
"Nanfeng Manor," Chi Jing answered, then asked subconsciously, "Are you going to attend?"
Fu Youhan gave him a cold glance: "Do you have an opinion?"
Chi Jing felt a chill from that glance and cautiously chose his words: "This doesn’t quite match your persona."
Wasn’t it Fu Youhan himself who said, "Do I look like someone who would go hunting for fun?"
But now he was eagerly going to attend Si Lin’s birthday party and join in the hunting?
Besides, Chi Jing was also worried; hunting wasn’t an activity for someone in a wheelchair.
What if Fu Youhan stood up in an emergency situation at the Hunting Ground, wouldn’t his cover be blown?
"You don’t need to worry about this, I’ll handle it!" Fu Youhan, aware of Chi Jing’s concerns, after speaking, ordered, "Have Vice President Lin come over and replace me, and send me the meeting record afterward."
Then Fu Youhan took the lead and left in his wheelchair.
Chi Jing quickly arranged for Vice President Lin to take over and followed suit.
*
At Nanfeng Manor Hunting Ground—
The hunting activity officially started, and all participants were eager to begin.
Because, according to rumors, even third prizes were Cullinans, BMWs, and the like.
Therefore, everyone had high hopes for the mysterious first prize.
Of course, a small number of participants were also afraid of encountering bears, so they chose to stick together in groups.
But with more people sticking together, safety increased, which also meant fewer chances of encountering more game.
Thus, from the beginning, Si Ruo led her small squad on their own.
The members of her team also had great trust in her marksmanship, following closely behind her, advancing into the deep mountains.
Ye Chen and Yu Dingding, not much interested in the grand prize, had been leisurely trailing behind the others.
Yu Dingding usually looked delicate and soft, not used to hard labor, but once she put on the camouflage suit, she took on a different kind of valor, and did not fall behind, following closely after the others.
On the contrary, Shu Yani, who did not seem like someone pampered, kept lagging behind at the end, complaining of fatigue.
"Young Master Ye, wait for me, I can’t walk anymore!"
While she was clamoring, she also clung to Ye Chen and refused to let go, insistently pushing her body close to him, not much different from a female cat in heat.
Actually, what she wanted was to seduce Ye Chen. If she could make Ye Chen unable to control himself and have a wild fling with her in this desolate wilderness, that would be perfect.
After all, Shu Yani was well aware that she couldn’t compare with a radiant beauty like Yu Dingding.
Once away from Nanfeng Manor, she was afraid that she wouldn’t even have the chance to get close to Ye Chen again.
So it was best to take Ye Chen now, even if he didn’t intend to continue with her afterward, Shu Yani believed she could still get what she wanted.
But Ye Chen was very annoyed by Shu Yani’s pestering, especially since Yu Dingding was walking ahead. Hearing Shu Yani act so lewdly without looking back to help him really made Ye Chen angry.
However, his good upbringing made it impossible for him to use dirty language on a woman, so he growled in irritation: "If you really can’t walk anymore, just stay here and wait for us to come back!"
"No, what if I encounter a bear while waiting here all alone!" Shu Yani seemed to completely miss Ye Chen’s anger, still trying hard to snuggle into his arms.
When Ye Chen’s irritation reached its peak, he directly addressed Yu Dingding walking ahead: "Baby, can’t you come over and declare your sovereignty, to let Miss Shu know that I’m yours?"
Yu Dingding actually stopped in her tracks this time and turned to look at them seriously.
Her eyes, seductive and tearful without crying, were simply soul-ensnaring weapons, and at that moment, they fixed unwaveringly on Ye Chen, as captivating as a midnight rose.
Each time Ye Chen made eye contact with Yu Dingding like this, his Adam’s apple involuntarily bobbed, yearning to be intimate with her.
This time was no exception.
But as soon as Ye Chen stepped forward, he heard Yu Dingding suddenly say to him: "Young Master Ye, you can belong to anyone, but you can never be mine. Do you understand?"
Ye Chen felt as if a basin of ice water had been forcibly poured into his boiling blood, chilling him to the core.
This was the first time that Yu Dingding had delineated their relationship so clearly since they reconciled.
Immediately, Ye Chen shook off Shu Yani and grabbed Yu Dingding’s wrist, his voice carrying a dark tone.
"Why can’t I? Yu Dingding, let me also be blunt with you. Even if you don’t want to be with me, you’ll never be able to leave me in this lifetime."
Yu Dingding was about to say something, but Shu Yani suddenly interjected, asking: "Young Master Ye, why is there a Husky in the woods?"
"What?" Ye Chen, preoccupied, turned to look at Shu Yani.
Because Huskies are generally kept as pets domestically, it’s rare to see them in the wild.
This led him to consider a possibility...
Wolves!
"It’s right there, look." Shu Yani was a bit stunned, pointing out the direction to where the "Husky" was for Yu Dingding and Ye Chen.
Looking in the direction indicated by Shu Yani, they indeed saw a creature resembling a Husky, silently observing them behind a nearby tree trunk.
"That’s not a Husky, it’s a wolf," Ye Chen said, squinting his eyes.
Shu Yani was startled: "What do we do now? I thought there were only bears around here?"
"Nanfeng Manor Hunting Ground has many years of history. This place is artificially enclosed, with countless small animals inhabiting and breeding here, naturally attracting carnivores," Ye Chen analyzed.
"What should we do now? I don’t want to die here at all," Shu Yani said.
Yu Dingding didn’t say anything, but she was also extremely frightened.
She had only just been looking forward to her father’s release from prison; she hadn’t cured his leg yet, hadn’t fulfilled the promise to take him to see the world’s beauty for the rest of his life...
Moreover, Yu Dingding knew that if anything really happened to her here, her father definitely wouldn’t want to live either.
So she absolutely couldn’t die here!
"Actually, one or two wolves aren’t scary, but it’s scary if they come in packs..."
If they hadn’t lagged behind, it would be fine, with a group of people together, the wolves wouldn’t be able to ambush them.
It was unfortunate that they had fallen far behind, now their situation was worrisome.
As Ye Chen said that, he quickly checked on Yu Dingding.
Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper, pale to the point of being nearly transparent.
Actually, if he were alone, even if a pack of wolves came, he wouldn’t be afraid because he could climb trees and those wolves couldn’t hurt him at all.
But with Yu Dingding also present, he was worried those creatures might harm her...
