The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 395
CHAPTER 395: CHAPTER 395
Suchen observed Fu Youhan’s deep eyes, which were like thick ink that wouldn’t dissolve for a thousand years, and added:
"Yes, it’s him. Actually, before you had left, that young man had already gone to find Xixi in the bride’s resting room. I heard from Xiao Ye that Young Master Si also intended to take Xixi away."
Lai De seemed to understand Suchen’s intention and hurriedly followed suit.
"Then Xixi might as well have left with Young Master Si earlier. That way, she wouldn’t have been foolishly abandoned at the wedding scene, subjected to the cold mockery and ridicule of countless people."
The couple’s banter turned Fu Youhan’s face almost the color of the bottom of a pot.
After a long silence, Fu Youhan said, "I’ll go find Si Lin!"
Yes, Fu Youhan was panicking.
Because he knew better than anyone that Si Lin had truly fallen for Jiang Moxi.
Even on several occasions, Si Lin had used the pretext of owing him a favor to get close to her.
This tactic was very much like the beginning of his and Jiang Moxi’s story.
Fu Youhan was even more worried that Jiang Moxi would fall for the same trick, develop feelings for Si Lin, and that Si Lin would take advantage of today’s failed wedding to swoop in!
So, Fu Youhan left in a great hurry.
Watching Fu Youhan’s hurried departure, Lai De sighed, "His status is not just that of a noble; his power far surpasses that of anyone else, truly deserving of the rumors that describe him as ’stunningly brilliant.’"
Suchen, hearing this, understood that Lai De had gleaned more about Fu Youhan’s other identities from their conversation earlier.
But she didn’t care how many layers of identity Fu Youhan had, she only asked Lai De,
"No matter how stunningly brilliant, he left Xixi alone at the wedding, letting her face the gossip all by herself. If Xixi were your biological daughter, would you accept such a man as your son-in-law?"
Lai De almost didn’t hesitate to answer: "No!"
So Suchen said, "That’s enough. No matter how outstanding he is, it doesn’t matter to Xixi, let alone to the both of us!"

After leaving Suchen’s house, Fu Youhan kept calling Si Lin.
But just like Jiang Moxi’s phone, Si Lin’s was also unreachable.
So, Fu Youhan went to the Si Family.
Si Ruo received him very warmly.
"Brother Han, I’ve brewed a pot of top-quality Biluochun Tea for you; would you like some snacks as well?"
Si Ruo, having heard that Fu Youhan was going to hold a wedding with Jiang Moxi, had lain sick in bed at home for two days.
She hadn’t expected that today she would receive the joyous news that Fu Youhan had left Jiang Moxi alone at the wedding.
What surprised Si Ruo even more was that the man who had left Jiang Moxi at the wedding scene was now at her house.
This made Si Ruo unable to resist fantasizing that Fu Youhan had run away from the wedding for her.
So, Si Ruo immediately changed into a white silk nightgown, with a neckline wide enough to reveal a clear and comprehensive view.
Plus, she was now eagerly scooting closer to Fu Youhan, just a slight bow of his head would allow him to take in all her beauty at a glance.
Si Ruo was now hoping that Fu Youhan would be captivated by her charming scene, allowing passion to flourish, and fully enjoy their intimate moment together.
She believed that as long as Fu Youhan truly experienced her once, he would never think of returning to Jiang Moxi’s side.
However, since seeing her, Fu Youhan’s gaze had never fallen on her, and he coldly asked, "Where is Si Lin?"
"Brother Han, are you looking for my brother? What do you want with him? Other than quarreling with you, what can he do?"
While speaking, Si Ruo was even ready to hook her arms around Fu Youhan’s waist.
But before she could touch him, Fu Youhan pushed her away with one hand.
The force of Fu Youhan’s push was strong.
Si Ruo was pushed to the ground, staring at Fu Youhan in dismay.
But Fu Youhan just stared coldly at her: "Where’s Si Lin, I don’t want to hear any nonsense."
"I’m not sure either. Brother Han, what exactly do you need my brother for?" Si Ruo, a bit intimidated by Fu Youhan’s now utterly cold gaze, dared not recklessly approach any further.
This time, Fu Youhan’s voice was noticeably colder than before: "He took away my wife, what do you think I’m looking for him for!"
Fu Youhan’s dark, cold eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, murderous intent surging.
Si Ruo was a bit dumbfounded: "Your wife?"
Si Ruo belatedly recalled that Fu Youhan must be referring to Jiang Moxi.
After all, Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan’s wedding was today.
However, Fu Youhan seemed not wanting to waste more time on her, directly yelling at Si Ruo: "Tell me where your brother is now!"
It was the first time Si Ruo had seen Fu Youhan this furious.
Especially his eyes, filled with bloodshot, looked insane and ferocious, like an evil spirit just crawled out of hell.
Si Ruo, being a pampered girl, had never seen such a scene and was immediately scared into tears.
"I, I don’t know! His legs are his own, I can’t control him."
But her sobbing did not garner any pity from the man, only making him more irritable.
"If you can’t find him, just call him, stop crying!"
Under Fu Youhan’s cold scolding, Si Ruo could only take out her phone to call Si Lin.
Yes, Fu Youhan thought Si Lin took Jiang Moxi away, fearing Fu Youhan would interfere, thus deliberately not answering his calls.
But if Si Lin’s most beloved sister called him, Si Lin would definitely answer promptly.
Yet the result was somewhat unexpected for both Fu Youhan and Si Ruo.
Because Si Ruo called Si Lin five times in a row, and Si Lin did not answer at all.
"I hope nothing has happened to my brother."
Si Ruo frowned, deeply worried.
Because her brother always treated her like a treasure and would never ignore her calls for so long.
But Fu Youhan didn’t respond to Si Ruo’s anxiety, only instructing Si Ruo to jot down a few places where Si Lin might most likely be.
Then, Fu Youhan hurriedly left to continue searching for the whereabouts of Jiang Moxi and Si Lin.
And Si Ruo, after being rattled by Fu Youhan, became somewhat restless herself.
"Could it be that something really did happen to my brother? No... my brother is so smart; if there’s danger, he’d escape quickly; it shouldn’t be possible."
But her murmurs went unanswered.

Meanwhile, at Jiang’s Old Mansion.
After Jiang Tairan and others returned, they had been discussing what they should do next.
"Now that it seems hopeless to rely on Moxi and Third Master Fu, we can only try our best to form a good relationship with THE ONE Corporation."
As Jiang Tairan spoke, he inevitably reprimanded Yu Man.
"How should I even start with you? You knew we were going to cooperate with THE ONE Corporation soon, why did you still go and offend Suchen? Truly spoiling the successful while being a catalyst for failures!"
Yu Man, scolded, didn’t dare to look up; Jiang Guosheng seeing this could only speak up for her.
"She didn’t expect Suchen to be so crude to actually hit her, that’s why she lost control of her emotions."
Now that Jiang Tairan was getting older, the battle for Jiang family’s wealth would soon reach daylight.
At this moment, Jiang Guosheng didn’t want Yu Man to continue provoking Jiang Tairan’s displeasure, all he could do was to try to gloss things over as much as possible.
Jiang Tairan clearly knew his eldest son’s thoughts, thus he only coldly said: "You, will eventually be ruined by this woman."
Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man exchanged a silent look, not saying a word.
Jiang Tairan then stopped lecturing them and turned his attention to Jiang Weiwei.
"Weiwei, now that your mother might have messed up the cooperation between THE ONE Corporation and Jiang’s, we can only rely on you to maintain relations with Suchen. Do you know what to do next?"
