CHAPTER 427: CHAPTER 427

Jiang Moxi gave Si Lin a cold look and then simply said, "You all chat, I’m going to take a look by the lake."

Jiang Moxi didn’t want to get involved in any senseless rivalry and decisively turned towards the lake.

Fu Youhan naturally wanted to chase after her to clear things up, at one point trying to follow.

But Si Lin wouldn’t allow it, blocking Fu Youhan’s way: "Is hurting her still not enough for you? Planning to twist the knife even deeper, huh?"

Fu Youhan didn’t back down either, his gaze icy: "This is between Xixi and I. If you don’t want to die by my hands, then back off!"

Their eyes collided, verbal sparring ensued, as unknown sparks seemed to fly through the air.

At this moment, several cars drove in and stopped nearby.

Soon, Feng Yu and several others got out of the car.

Feng Yu, with his narrow eyes, was full of surprise and gloom upon seeing Fu Youhan and Si Lin.

Fu Youhan and Si Lin met Feng Yu’s gaze with clear hostility.

As the three exchanged glances, people from the other cars also began setting up camp.

Among them was Wei Su, whom Si Lin had previously met at the Feng Family, also present.

Wei Su was surprised to see Si Lin.

She had not expected that Jiang Moxi would brazenly bring Si Lin along in front of Feng Yu.

When her gaze moved from Si Lin and landed on Fu Youhan, her eyes gleamed with undeniable admiration.

For this man’s looks were truly exceptional, and even in a tracksuit, his elegance was unmistakable.

Especially the aura of superiority around him, which even seemed to surpass that of Feng Yu.

However, the man didn’t seem to notice her, even though Wei Su stood out among other women with her beauty and figure, he never let his gaze linger on her.

This piqued Wei Su’s curiosity about who this man really was.

At this time, Jiang Moxi came back from the lakeside, holding a stick with two fish on it.

She hadn’t expected that Feng Yu would come, and bring quite a number of people along.

Her gaze coldly met with Feng Yu’s.

He then flashed a wicked smile: "I didn’t follow you; they suddenly suggested camping, so I just came along."

Indeed, Feng Yu had originally just wanted to go camping with Jiang Moxi alone.

But Jiang Moxi had rejected him and even forbade him from following.

Therefore, Feng Yu had to find others to accompany him, indirectly approaching Jiang Moxi.

But he hadn’t expected that this time, there would be two additional people by Jiang Moxi’s side.

Jiang Moxi also roughly guessed that Feng Yu was finding ways to get close to her, and didn’t bother to say more.

After all, the camping area wasn’t owned by her, and she had no reason to forcibly ask Feng Yu and his group to leave.

So she merely instructed Si Lin, "Get our grill out, we’ll have grilled fish for lunch."

When Jiang Moxi gave him tasks, Si Lin’s tail almost wagged up to the sky, walking shoulder to shoulder with the sun.

Uh-huh, being tasked by Jiang Moxi, and being able to eat grilled fish with her at noon, Si Lin felt he was seen as an insider.

A fundamental difference from outsiders like Fu Youhan.

"Alright!" Before Si Lin began digging through equipment, he didn’t forget to shoot a provocative smile at Fu Youhan.

Fu Youhan, watching Si Lin’s smug look, felt exceptionally irate.

But at this moment, he couldn’t bother with Si Lin and quickly reached out to grab Jiang Moxi’s wrist.

"Xixi, I’ve brought some self-heating meals and some crab soup packed from the hotel. If you’re hungry, I’ll get them for you now."

"Thanks, but I already have lunch," Jiang Moxi shook the fish in her hand.

Both fish were large enough for a satisfying meal.

But Fu Youhan said, "The fish hasn’t been prepped, and you guys probably didn’t bring any seasonings, so it might not taste very good."

This time, without waiting for Jiang Moxi to respond, Si Lin spoke again: "You don’t need to worry about that, we brought seasoning."

Si Lin, pulling out a barbecue grill, also held several bottles of seasoning and nearly boasted to Fu Youhan.

"Thai spicy sauce, cumin, sea salt black pepper, and Lao Gan Ma... We’ve got all sorts of flavors!"

Fu Youhan: "..."

He really wanted to grill Si Lin instead and use all those bottles of seasoning.

Jiang Moxi ignored the tension between the two men, brushed off Fu Youhan’s hand, and took the cumin and Lao Gan Ma from Si Lin.

"You came really prepared this time."

"Yeah, having learned from last time, when you said you wanted to go camping, I got everything ready."

Si Lin watched Jiang Moxi’s lips curve into a smile with a sweetness filling his heart unknowingly.

Last time in Plum Blossom Forest, they had barbeque together.

Because of something Jiang Moxi said, he crossed mountains to get two bottles of hot sauce from an aunt.

If he had understood then that those feelings were love, bringing her closer, she wouldn’t have gotten hurt so much.

But what has happened is established fact, unchangeable.

Now, Si Lin just wanted to seize the opportunity of a rift between Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan to truly impress her and have her willingly be with him.

That’s why when Jiang Moxi suggested camping, Si Lin immediately prepared these seasonings.

But Fu Youhan watched the intimate interactions between Jiang Moxi and Si Lin, along with the reminiscing, and his heart felt as if pierced by countless needles, intensely painful.

Elsewhere, Feng Yu also felt uneasy hearing Jiang Moxi and Si Lin chat.

So he stepped forward: "Xixi, since we’ve met here, why don’t we have a picnic together at noon?"

Yes, Feng Yu, like Fu Youhan, is not particularly fond of wild food.

But unlike Fu Youhan, who went to great lengths to get takeout from a hotel and prepared self-heating meals, Feng Yu simply had the kitchen prepare some picnic items that could be served right away.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Moxi coldly said, "Stay away from me and don’t ruin my mood!"

Feng Yu’s smiling face froze instantly.

The people Feng Yu had brought along also quickly dispersed.

Because they all knew that Feng Yu was a lunatic; angered by Jiang Moxi, he could go on a rampage that might result in bloodshed.

Yet the lunatic wouldn’t want to hurt Jiang Moxi, so it was likely that innocent bystanders would suffer.

To avoid getting caught in the crossfire, they had to stay as far away as possible.

Including Wei Su.

Wei Su, witnessing the interaction between Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi, was curious about their relationship and tried to learn more.

But seeing Feng Yu’s smile fade, Wei Su realized something was wrong and quickly moved away to avoid trouble.

Feng Yu actually didn’t plan to leave yet and wanted to fight for himself, but seeing Jiang Moxi not moving, she coldly said, "If you don’t leave, then I will!"

Feng Yu immediately gave in: "Alright, alright, I’ll go! I’ll go far away!"

Then, just as he said, Feng Yu walked a hundred meters away...

Si Lin, seeing Feng Yu leave, had a look of disbelief in his profound eyes.

Fu Youhan, witnessing this scene as well, felt his previously battered heart somewhat comforted.

Jiang Moxi might reject him, but at least not in the same way she treated Feng Yu!

Hmm, suddenly Fu Youhan felt more confident again!
