CHAPTER 429: CHAPTER 429

"What are you doing?" Fu Youhan’s expression suddenly darkened, and his eyes seemed to contain millennia of icy coldness.

"Eating." Si Lin said while placing the last chopstick of crab meat into his mouth, chewing slowly and swallowing before flashing a mischievous smile at Fu Youhan.

"Didn’t Third Master Fu just say that this crab meat is a thank you for using our grill. Since she isn’t eating, let me eat it. Isn’t it a thank you to anyone?"

Fu Youhan’s dark eyes turned gloomy, as if he wanted to tear Si Lin apart.

The latter nonchalantly stuffed the practice chopsticks and the tin foil box back into Fu Youhan’s hands, then picked up his half-eaten grilled fish.

"Our fish is ready. Third Master Fu, you can slowly grill your crab here."

After saying that, Si Lin went to the lakeside with the grilled fish.

Fu Youhan fiercely jabbed the used practice chopsticks into the muddy sand, watching the silhouette of Jiang Moxi and Si Lin heading to the lakeside one after the other, a dangerous shadow flickering across his eyes...

*

Jiang Moxi arrived at the lakeside and sat down to continue eating the grilled fish.

Si Lin also sat down beside her.

The two faced the tranquil lakeside, and after mostly finishing their grilled fish, Jiang Moxi said, "Let’s set up the tents after we finish eating."

They had only set up one tent earlier and needed to set up another one before sunset.

But Jiang Moxi did not expect Si Lin to refuse.

"I won’t set it up."

"Then I will do it myself!"

Jiang Moxi cleaned up the fishbone, ready to fetch another tent from the car.

But suddenly, Si Lin grabbed her: "I know you can’t accept me yet, and I don’t intend for anything either. But I really don’t want to see you fall into his honey trap again. Let me help you, okay?"

Under the slight breeze, Si Lin’s eyes shimmered with earnest and anxious light.

Jiang Moxi understood Si Lin’s intent.

Si Lin did not want to set up another tent, to share one tent with two people might make Fu Youhan give up.

Jiang Moxi’s mind was inexplicably in turmoil.

On one hand, she thought Si Lin’s idea was good, likely to break free from Fu Youhan’s entanglements.

Yet on the other hand, Jiang Moxi didn’t understand why she was getting so irritable.

Jiang Moxi didn’t give Si Lin a direct answer, but she seemingly agreed to Si Lin’s plan by default.

So when they returned to the campsite, the two either admired the scenery or chatted.

Nearby, Fu Youhan also set up his tent.

After a busy afternoon, seeing that Jiang Moxi and Si Lin had only one tent, Fu Youhan hesitated multiple times.

Finally, after dinner as darkness fell,

Fu Youhan became especially restless, particularly upon seeing Jiang Moxi and Si Lin enter the tent one after another, nearly losing control.

He even used the excuse of forgetting items to borrow things from Jiang Moxi and Si Lin’s tent.

At first, it was items like forgotten lights or power banks, which made Si Lin and Jiang Moxi open the tent.

Later, Fu Youhan even stopped hiding his motives, directly stating outside the tent that it was still early for them to come out and chat.

Because just moments ago, Si Lin had said inside the tent, "Let me give you a kiss."

Then, sounds akin to kissing emanated from the tent.

Fu Youhan’s emotions instantly edged towards explosion...

Indeed, even though he knew that Jiang Moxi still had injuries and probably nothing significant could happen between her and Si Lin, Fu Youhan couldn’t stand letting Jiang Moxi and Si Lin continue to stay together in one tent.

Unbeknownst to Fu Youhan’s multiple intrusions earlier, Si Lin was now even reluctant to open the tent.

"Third Master, if you can’t stand the loneliness and want someone to talk to, go find a woman named Wei Su about a hundred meters ahead. She’s idle and loves to chat to pass the time."

While Si Lin stayed at the Feng family’s place, Wei Su kept hovering around him now and then, subtly probing his relationship with Jiang Moxi.

Being raised in the complex environment of a noble family, Si Lin naturally sensed Wei Su’s motives and didn’t tell her the truth.

But this woman just had too much free time, even though she couldn’t pry a single truth from him each day, she still consistently cozied up to him.

So Si Lin felt, now Fu Youhan finding Wei Su for a pointless chat to kill time, couldn’t be more suitable.

But Fu Youhan said, "I’m not familiar with her, what is there to talk about?"

Si Lin retorted inside the tent: "We’re also not familiar with you, Third Master Fu, nothing to talk about. Don’t come looking for us."

Fu Youhan really wanted to drag Si Lin out and have a fight.

But at that moment, his phone rang.

It was a call from Chi Jing, probably about the Jiang Family wrapping things up.

Considering the relationship between the Jiang Family and Jiang Moxi, Fu Youhan was quite worried that Jiang Moxi might soften her heart towards those greedy wolves at the last moment.

So, Fu Youhan still went under the Sakura Tree to take the call.

As soon as he answered, Chi Jing’s voice came through: "Third Master, the Jiang Family’s Q30 in Xiya has started to draw unexpected attention."

After tasting the benefits from that batch of Q30 stock, the Jiang Family had already invested a lot of money in the Xiya automobile market, almost occupying half of the entire Jiang Family’s resources!

They had successively established their own car sales company, speeding up the production of Q30 and its parts.

With this aggressive move, tens of thousands of Q30s were produced and began being shipped to Xiya.

But for some reason, this batch of Q30s, even after being displayed in stores for a few days, attracted no buyers.

Tonight, this piece of news also made its way back to the domestic market.

By now, Jiang Tairan is probably busy doing data analysis.

"Keep a close watch! Remember, once Jiang’s financial situation blows up, push the news out to the shareholders and reporters."

Fu Youhan hung up the phone, and just as he was about to head back to the tent to drag Si Lin out for a duel, he surprisingly discovered a figure on the nearby Sakura Tree.

Fu Youhan focused and saw that the person sitting on a thick branch of the Sakura Tree and sleeping was none other than Jiang Moxi...

Jiang Moxi’s spot was very concealed, and if one didn’t look carefully, it would be really hard to spot her.

Thus, she must have been perched on top of the tree for quite some time.

So what was that ghostly talk, kissing happening in the tent earlier with Si Lin?

Fu Youhan looked at Jiang Moxi sitting on the treetop, feeling all the frustration accumulated over the day dissipating in an instant, even making the corners of his mouth unconsciously curl up.

However, Fu Youhan didn’t approach to disturb her, instead he quietly climbed another nearby tree and silently kept watch over her.

All night, Fu Youhan couldn’t bear to close his eyes, just quietly gazing at the sleeping face of the woman...

The next morning, when the sky was dimly lit, Jiang Moxi leapt down from the Sakura Tree and went back to the tent to wash up.

Si Lin, seeing Jiang Moxi return, quickly nagged, "Where were you all night?"

Although he knew Jiang Moxi used to be a Mercenary and outdoor survival was never an issue for her, he was still somewhat worried.

But before Jiang Moxi could answer, Si Lin noticed Fu Youhan outside the tent, delivering two boxes of oatmeal porridge, and immediately changed his tune.

"I can’t believe your small frame can be so troublesome; you almost broke my back."

Saying so, Si Lin even pretentiously pounded his own back.

Jiang Moxi heard Si Lin’s flippant words, turned her head and saw Fu Youhan.

However, Fu Youhan seemed not to hear those private words from Si Lin, as he placed the oatmeal porridge at the tent entrance, "Here’s your breakfast."

He also advised Si Lin, "That’s kidney deficiency. When back, I’ll send a few boxes of kidney supplements to Young Master Si."

Men fear most being told they have poor kidney function, and Si Lin was no exception, immediately cursing.

"Who has bad kidneys? It’s just that Xixi was too exhausting last night!"

But Fu Youhan just smiled indifferently and turned to leave.

This attitude, completely disregarding Si Lin’s explanation.

"You come back here, I said I don’t have kidney deficiency!" Si Lin angrily wanted to chase after.

But Jiang Moxi glanced up at the man’s departing figure, seeing a fallen cherry blossom petal on the shoulder of his sport shirt, her eyes slightly flickered.

Then she stopped Si Lin, "Don’t go picking a fight, we’re already exposed."
