The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 410
CHAPTER 410: CHAPTER 410
The morning of the following day, Fu Youhan once again knocked on the Feng Family’s large door.
He was greeted by the same butler as yesterday.
Fu Youhan still stated he was there to visit Feng Yu, causing the butler to be slightly puzzled.
"Weren’t you here to visit yesterday?"
"There was something I didn’t quite finish discussing with Mr. Feng, so I came back again."
Fu Youhan carried a commanding presence, yet he was humble and approachable, unlike other wealthy individuals who looked down on servants.
The butler quite liked this young man and thus led him into the house.
"The master has just gotten up and will have breakfast soon. I will take you to him first."
"Thank you! By the way, Young Master Si also came yesterday, was he received by Mr. Feng?"
Fu Youhan casually mentioned Si Lin, which made the butler’s heart skip a beat.
Because the master expressly ordered yesterday not to mention Si Lin to anyone, his whereabouts were to be kept absolutely confidential.
But how could Fu Youhan know this top-secret information?
Fu Youhan also noticed the slight change in the butler’s expression and quickly smiled, saying, "Young Master Si and I are friends; I still know his whereabouts."
"Is that so?" The butler, having a good impression of the young man, couldn’t help but believe his words and even started chatting with Fu Youhan.
"Miss Xi hosted Young Master Si yesterday. The master arranged for him to stay in the guest room, and they should all have breakfast together in the courtyard later."
Fu Youhan quickly caught the key point from the butler’s words, his dark eyes imperceptibly narrowing.
However, his tone remained natural on the surface.
"Miss Xi? Is that the name of your young lady?"
"Yes, our young lady’s name is Feng Xi, but we habitually call her Miss Xi. Miss Xi is very intelligent; she memorizes medical books at one glance, and the old master often praises her, saying she was born for this profession."
The butler sang endless praises when mentioning the Feng Family’s Miss Xi.
Just like Ye Chen had described before, this adopted daughter was the absolute favorite of the Feng Family, her status unparalleled by anyone.
But Fu Youhan was repeatedly pondering over the name "Xi", feeling that it coincidentally resembled Jiang Moxi’s name too much.
Could it be that the Feng Family’s Miss Xi is Jiang Moxi?
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Fu Youhan’s mind, and it seemed an answer was about to surface.
However, he quickly stopped himself.
No...
It couldn’t be possible.
Just as Ye Chen said, if Jiang Moxi truly were the most cherished Miss Xi of the Feng Family, after enjoying such ultimate doting, she probably wouldn’t adapt to life at the Jiang Family.
Moreover, that Miss Xi is very skilled in medicine, but Fu Youhan had never seen Jiang Moxi delve into medical issues.
Yes, at this moment, Fu Youhan still didn’t believe that Jiang Moxi was Miss Xi.
Until the butler led him to a courtyard, telling Fu Youhan, "Mr. Fu, the master, Miss Xi, and Young Master Si are having breakfast in the courtyard..."
Fu Youhan’s wandering mind was pulled back by the butler’s words.
He followed the direction indicated by the butler and saw a scene that left him shockingly incredulous.
Sitting in front of the stone table in the Chinese courtyard were three people, Feng Yu, Si Lin, and... Jiang Moxi!
Yes, it was Jiang Moxi.
Even though she visibly lost quite a bit of weight, her complexion overly pale, and her profile looked much thinner,
that distinct, cool temperament allowed Fu Youhan to recognize her at a glance; she was his Xixi.
But the butler just said, now Feng Yu, Si Lin, and the distinguished Miss Xi were dining.
So, was his Xixi indeed Miss Xi?
This discovery caught Fu Youhan somewhat off guard.
Yet he couldn’t care about anything else and softly called out, "Xixi!"
A familiar and thrilling term of endearment, filled with infinite tenderness and affection.
It was this voice that made the three people at the stone table turn their heads.
Unsurprisingly, all three of them were visibly taken aback when they first saw Fu Youhan.
Feng Yu and Si Lin even narrowed their eyes slightly.
As for Jiang Moxi, her clear and transparent eyes showed a flash of surprise initially, but quickly returned to the calm and still expression from before.
She even took a fork and continued eating the grilled sausage, as if she had encountered someone unimportant.
However, Fu Youhan quickly moved to her side and grabbed Jiang Moxi’s hand, half-kneeling before her.
"Xixi... are you okay?"
Fu Youhan’s eyes were red, as if he could squeeze out blood at any moment.
Besides, his voice carried a precarious tenderness and an overt pity.
Jiang Moxi did not respond, nor did she shake off Fu Youhan’s hand or even look at him.
She continued eating her sausage as if Fu Youhan was invisible to her.
But Jiang Moxi’s disregard for Fu Youhan did not mean that Feng Yu and Si Lin could ignore him.
Si Lin’s immediate reaction upon seeing Fu Youhan was to mockingly taunt him.
"Look who we have here, if it isn’t our great love saint, Third Master Fu. What are you doing here instead of protecting your Wen You in Yan City?"
Compared to Si Lin’s sarcasm, Feng Yu’s expression of disgust towards Fu Youhan was more straightforward.
"Steward, who allowed you to bring someone here?"
He scolded the steward, almost roaring with a threatening tone that could quite literally draw blood and eat flesh, frightening the steward nearly to his knees.
"Sir, Mr. Fu said he is a friend of Young Master Si and knew his whereabouts, and since you met Mr. Fu yesterday, I thought he was a friend of both you and Young Master Si..."
Before the steward could finish talking, Si Lin let out a light chuckle.
"I would not dare to be friends with a lover’s saint who abandons his bride at the ceremony to protect another sweetheart."
Feng Yu also smirked, clearly indicating that Mr. Fu was not telling the truth.
Upon learning the truth, the steward cursed Mr. Fu inwardly, vowing never to open the door for him again.
Meanwhile, Fu Youhan blocked out everyone else’s comments and stared intently at Jiang Moxi as if she was the only person in his world.
"Xixi, please don’t be mad at me, alright? My desperation to protect Wen You was because I mistook her for Dead Ghost, thinking I owed her my life."
"It was only when I saw the surveillance footage, I realized that you are the Dead Ghost, Wen You was impersonating you with people from Orion, just to take your life... I was wrong, terribly wrong!"
"I saw you got injured, how is your wound now? It must be very painful, right?"
The more Fu Youhan spoke, the more concerned he became about the injuries on Jiang Moxi’s body, he even reached out to touch the spot on her abdomen...
Fu Youhan remembered, this was the place where she was shot twice.
He wanted to check how Jiang Moxi’s wounds were, but this action thoroughly infuriated her.
The woman who had let him hold her hand earlier suddenly swept his hand away fiercely and then stood up.
"Enough. You’ve said all you needed to, you can leave now."
After dropping those words, Jiang Moxi turned and left.
Fu Youhan at one point wanted to follow her, but seeing this, Feng Yu immediately scolded the steward: "Aren’t you going to stop him? Old thing, getting more useless as you age, aren’t you!"
Feng Yu had no conscience and wasn’t going to be lenient on the steward who had served the Feng Family all his life when he started to act recklessly.
The steward, fearful for his life, hastily stepped forward to stop Fu Youhan.
But having finally seen Jiang Moxi again, how could Fu Youhan leave without speaking to her further and without verifying how her wound was healing?
Thus, when the steward stepped forward to stop him, Fu Youhan simply sidestepped him and quickly chased after Jiang Moxi.
Seeing that Fu Youhan was about to catch up with Jiang Moxi, Si Lin immediately rushed up and started fighting with Fu Youhan.
"Don’t interfere, or don’t blame me for being ruthless," Fu Youhan warned Si Lin during the scuffle.
But Si Lin merely sneered: "Even if it kills me, I won’t let you get near her again!"
Unable to withstand Si Lin’s provocation, Fu Youhan decisively attacked Si Lin’s injuries with all his might.
Si Lin, whose wounds had not yet healed, was forced to retreat several steps and gasped for air heavily.
Fu Youhan was about to take advantage of his victory to ensure Si Lin could no longer obstruct him.
But at the crucial moment, Jiang Moxi stepped in front of Si Lin...
