The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 462
CHAPTER 462: CHAPTER 462
But what puzzled Jiang Moxi was that besides kissing her, Fu Youhan didn’t do anything else.
Even though Jiang Moxi was slightly agitated, Fu Youhan did not take any real action.
In the haze of passion, Jiang Moxi knew the man was burning hot all over.
But he held Jiang Moxi and said, "Your body isn’t suitable at the moment. Let’s wait until you’re better. I’ll take care of you..."
However, recalling those almost accidental yet intimate moments during the daytime made her cheeks burn.
To prevent any misleading allure, Jiang Moxi quickly kicked Fu Youhan off the bed and hurriedly put on her clothes.
Fu Youhan got up from under the bed, not at all irritated, even going forward to help Jiang Moxi straighten her skirt and pull up the zipper at the back.
After arranging the skirt, he straightened Jiang Moxi’s body to face him.
"Now that you’re comfortable and dressed, you do not recognize me?"
His voice was richly magnetic, laced with a thick tease.
Jiang Moxi’s ears turned red instantly: "I might as well be a duck."
"You ungrateful woman, a duck’s service would never be this thorough..." Fu Youhan lightly flicked at Jiang Moxi’s hair.
Jiang Moxi, annoyed, was about to hit someone when Old Master Feng’s voice came from outside.
"Xixi, are you up? Let’s have breakfast in the garden."
Jiang Moxi quickly glanced at Fu Youhan, noticing he was only in his long pants.
If Old Master Feng saw this, even if they said nothing happened last night, no one would believe it.
In a panic, Jiang Moxi grabbed Fu Youhan to shove him into the bathroom: "Hide here for a bit, don’t let Grandpa see you!"
Fu Youhan looked somewhat grievous: "Xixi, am I really that embarrassing to be seen?"
Actually, after sending Jiang Moxi back last night, he sneaked into her room, knowing that she didn’t want too many people to know about their situation temporarily.
But being hidden and concealed by Jiang Moxi like this, Fu Youhan still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Jiang Moxi was about to say something to Fu Youhan, but Old Master Feng’s voice came again.
"Xixi?" Old Master Feng seemed like he was about to enter.
Jiang Moxi then straightforwardly pushed Fu Youhan into the bathroom, "Don’t make a sound."
Then, she very directly closed the bathroom door.
At that moment, Old Master Feng just happened to push the room door open and walked in.
Jiang Moxi hurriedly went to greet him.
"Grandpa?"
"So you are awake! Why didn’t you say anything? I thought you were confused again!"
"I was just in the bathroom. Grandpa, let’s go have breakfast."
"Okay!"
With their conversation, the grandfather and granddaughter slowly walked away.

At the breakfast table in the Feng Family’s Garden—
Old Master Feng and Jiang Moxi chatted intermittently about last night’s party and the matters about his visit to fulfill a vow with Feng Ming and Cen Xuan yesterday.
Then Old Master Feng casually mentioned something to Jiang Moxi: "Did Ah Yu tell you that he has been collaborating with Wang Yao recently?"
Jiang Moxi frowned slightly: "No. How come he’s collaborating with Wang Yao again?"
Wang Yao also controlled several Mercenary Corps, all involved in shady businesses, and many people avoided them.
Feng Yu’s relationship with Wang Yao was just average, having done a few collaborations, which were then stopped by Old Master Feng.
But recently, Old Master Feng heard rumors that Feng Yu started meeting frequently with Wang Yao again.
"I am not sure how they ended up collaborating again, but Wang Yao is not a good person. When you have time, could you please try to persuade Ah Yu for me?"
Jiang Moxi thought to herself: Actually, Feng Yu is no saint either! He and Wang Yao are just as bad as each other; it’s hard to say who influences whom.
These words, however, were a bit hurtful, so Jiang Moxi didn’t voice them out.
Seeing that Jiang Moxi did not agree to persuade Feng Yu, Old Master Feng continued, "Xixi, Ah Yu’s character is a bit extreme, he might not listen to others."
"I doubt he will listen to me either." Jiang Moxi didn’t think she held any special place in Feng Yu’s heart.
She even felt that Feng Yu’s better treatment towards her might merely be due to their relationship as siblings, and also because she and Feng Ming were close, which might be why Feng Yu kept trying to drive a wedge between them.
But Old Master Feng said, "No, he will definitely listen to you. Xixi, Ah Yu actually likes you a lot, whether as siblings, or..."
Jiang Moxi didn’t want to continue this topic, she directly said, "When I see him, I’ll just pass on a few words for you."
Seeing this, Old Master Feng didn’t continue the topic either.
At this moment, Feng Ming and Cen Xuan also came to have breakfast.
However, their interactions today seemed even more odd than yesterday.
Look, as soon as they sat down at the dining table, Feng Ming started serving Cen Xuan food, piling her bowl into a small mountain.
Cen Xuan was clearly embarrassed, but also didn’t want to speak with Feng Ming.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Moxi couldn’t help but exchange a knowing look with Old Master Feng, signaling: These two have something going on!
Finally, Cen Xuan couldn’t help it anymore, she whispered to Feng Ming, "That’s enough, if you keep going, Xixi and the old master won’t have anything to eat."
Only then did Feng Ming stop serving food, laughing foolishly.
Seeing Feng Ming’s silly smile, Jiang Moxi suddenly blurted out, "Brother, there’s something odd about you."
Feng Ming only had this foolish smile back when he was dating Wei Su.
Now he was smiling like that again, even doing more foolish things.
It seemed that Cen Xuan now held a clearly higher position in his heart than Wei Su.
But the latter asked Jiang Moxi, "What’s odd about me?"
Yet his gaze remained glued to Cen Xuan, as if afraid others might not know he had tasted Cen Xuan’s favor last night.
Yes, yesterday they went to Qianling Mountain to fulfill their vows, and Cen Xuan also learned from Old Master Feng about the past conflicts involving Feng Ming, Feng Yu, and Wei Su, which suddenly made her sympathize with Feng Ming.
Then after returning from Qianling Mountain, they had a few drinks in the room, essentially a heart-to-heart conversation.
Unexpectedly, as they drank, they lost control...
Throughout the night, they went from being a fake couple to a real one.
Now, they were still somewhat uncomfortable with this new status.
They didn’t expect that Jiang Moxi would notice something off, even mentioning, "You seem to really like my sister-in-law now."
Feng Ming was taken aback, while Cen Xuan froze.
Indeed, both of them hadn’t expected Jiang Moxi to say that.
And Cen Xuan was even more embarrassed, unsure where to put her hands and feet: "I..."
After a brief stunning silence, Feng Ming then said, "Right, no one should foolishly stay in the past. When a better person appears by your side, of course, they should be cherished."
His words sounded like he was telling Jiang Moxi that he had moved on from that failed relationship; it also seemed like he was assuring Cen Xuan that he really intended to have a good life with her.
As soon as he said this, Cen Xuan’s face turned red, but her heart was extraordinarily sweet.
Old Master Feng watched their interaction, also greatly reassured: "Right, let go of the past. Just live well from now on..."
Feng Ming grabbed Cen Xuan’s hand, smiling in agreement.
Cen Xuan noticed Wei Su standing not far away, glaring at them with resentful eyes.
She frantically tried to shake off Feng Ming’s hand, but Feng Ming tightly held her hand, his tone exceptionally firm, "Xuanxuan, from now on, we’ll have a good life together!"
