The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 277

But Fu Youhan still seemed to have a big issue with Jiang Moxi, giving her just a cold glance before shifting his eyes onto others.

As soon as Fu Wangning saw Fu Youhan’s arrival, she immediately arranged for everyone to be seated.

However, this time she didn’t take the initiative to sit next to Fu Youhan. Instead, she arranged for Jiang Moxi to sit there.

When the dishes were being served, Fu Wangning also proactively asked the waiter to bring a fork for Jiang Moxi.

Throughout the course, Fu Wangning acted as the mood-maker, enlivening the atmosphere of the party.

But oddly enough, there wasn’t much interaction between Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan throughout the event.

Even when Fu Wangning brought the conversation to them several times, neither of them showed any intent to respond.

Fu Wangning faintly sensed something and consequently suggested, "Let’s toast together to celebrate Moxi’s direct admission to the National Security Department."

Si Lin was very supportive and even made a special effort to raise his glass next to Jiang Moxi.

"To our new member, I look forward to your guidance in the future."

As he spoke, he bent slightly forward, leaning in close to Jiang Moxi, his eyes clearly conveying admiration and tenderness.

Besides that, he even threw a deliberate glance at Fu Youhan, an obvious challenge.

Fu Youhan coldly looked back at Si Lin, and where the gazes of the two men met, there seemed to be invisible sparks flying.

However, in front of Ling Ye and Ling Hua, Fu Youhan didn’t show any extreme emotions, only calling over a waiter to replace Jiang Moxi’s alcoholic drink with juice.

But Jiang Moxi declined: "No need, I’ll just drink this."

With that said, she directly lifted her glass to clink with Si Lin’s, thanked him, and then downed most of the drink in one gulp.

Si Lin had not expected Jiang Moxi to finish it all at once, his deep eyes showing a moment of surprise, but it was quickly concealed as he smirked, "Direct!"

He then filled his own glass with wine to the brim and emptied it in one go...

Their interaction made Ye Chen click his tongue in a series, then he said, "Brother Han, Xiao Moxi’s alcohol tolerance is unbelievable! Should I also toast to her?"

Fu Youhan swept a cold and fierce glance at him, his eyes tinged with bloodshot, causing a sense of dread.

Before Ye Chen could say more, he saw Yu Dingding about to eat shrimp.

So, Ye Chen promptly set aside his mockery of Fu Youhan, busying himself with peeling shrimp.

Su Yan, Ling Ye, Yuan Zhou, and the others also came to toast Jiang Moxi when they saw her drinking, congratulating her.

Of course, they all said, "I’ll finish mine, and you can do as you please."

But it seemed that Jiang Moxi was in high spirits today, not refusing any drink offered to her.

Seeing this, Fu Wangning also raised her glass.

But she noticed the continuous chilling vibes coming from Fu Youhan next to Jiang Moxi, making the private room feel coldly unwelcoming, so while toasting, she reminded Jiang Moxi, "Don’t drink too much, or you’ll feel unwell later."

Jiang Moxi still drank as usual.

Seeing this, Fu Youhan simply asked the waiter to open another bottle of wine and placed it directly in front of Jiang Moxi.

"Miss Jiang likes to drink? Then enjoy yourself to the fullest!" Fu Youhan said, his eyes narrowing slightly, with a dangerous chill flickering in their depths.

With this move, anyone not as thick-skinned as Ling Ye could easily tell that Fu Youhan was displeased with Jiang Moxi having drunk so much.

Yet Jiang Moxi really picked up that bottle, poured herself a full cup, and downed it all at once.

After finishing this full glass, intoxication began to emerge in Jiang Moxi’s eyes and brows.

Especially with the red flush around her eyes and their watery gaze, any glance from her seemed laced with hooks, radiating her seductive power.

In that instant, Fu Youhan, seeing the drunken allure in Jiang Moxi’s eyes, almost couldn’t help wanting to flip the table.

Yet the woman seemed oblivious to the fury of the man, carrying on with her banter and laughter with others.

Especially when Su Yan approached her again to discuss the books she had recommended, she was all smiles and chuckles in conversation with him.

Ah, alcohol is indeed a wonderful thing. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

Jiang Moxi had been in a gloomy mood for several days due to someone’s indifference.

But after a few drinks, all the displeasures in her head seemed to have disappeared, leaving her feeling light and carefree.

No wonder people drink to drown their sorrows, regardless of whether they are in good spirits or not.

However, Jiang Moxi soon experienced the downside of excessive alcohol consumption. Her head felt heavy, she saw things as if they were moving chaotically, and coupled with the residual toxins in her body, it started to make her feel feverish.

To alleviate the discomfort, Jiang Moxi hastily went to the restroom to wash her face.

But after washing up, when she came out of the restroom, she was pulled aside by Si Lin into the corridor.

"Drunk? Feeling unwell?" There was deep concern in Si Lin’s profound eyes. He even wanted to reach out and touch Jiang Moxi’s forehead.

However, Jiang Moxi dodged away.

"I’m fine," Jiang Moxi said.

"Why drink so much if you’re fine? Had a falling out with Third Master Fu?" Si Lin squinted slightly, as if trying to read her like a book.

In fact, he was quite pleased to see Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan at odds with each other earlier in the evening.

Now, looking at Jiang Moxi’s eyes, misty from the alcohol, the thoughts he had kept locked away in his heart were on the verge of bursting forth.

But Jiang Moxi remained cold and distant, "It’s none of your business."

With that, Jiang Moxi turned to leave.

"Jiang Moxi!" Si Lin suddenly called her by her full name.

Jiang Moxi stopped in her tracks and looked back at him.

Only to see his handsome face blurred in the light and shadow, his voice becoming sincere and solemn.

"I’m saying, since you and Third Master Fu probably won’t end well anyway, why don’t you just be with me instead? What he has, I have! What he doesn’t, anything you want, I can fight for you!"

Was Si Lin confessing his feelings for her?

Jiang Moxi was so shocked that she sobered up quite a bit.

"Don’t joke about this," Jiang Moxi really didn’t want to get involved with Si Lin.

But Si Lin said, "I’m not joking! I think I’m more suitable for you than Third Master Fu."

Jiang Moxi didn’t hesitate and rejected him outright, "I don’t want to be with you."

"Why?" Si Lin was close to losing his temper!

It was the first time he had confessed so seriously to a woman. If Jiang Moxi had agreed, he would have held her hand for a lifetime!

But Jiang Moxi refused him, which left him feeling extremely annoyed as if he had slapped a hot face against a cold backside.

Hence, he questioned Jiang Moxi with fury, "His legs are disabled, what’s so good about him!"

He didn’t believe that he lost to Fu Youhan, not at all!

But why was Jiang Moxi willing to be with Fu Youhan, yet unwilling to even try with him?

However, Si Lin never expected Jiang Moxi’s reply to be like this, "His legs are disabled, doesn’t your sister still like him that way? If they weren’t, then that would be something!"

With those words left behind, Jiang Moxi walked away without looking back, while Si Lin angrily kicked a nearby trash can.

Meanwhile, the man lurking in the corner lit a cigarette, the flickering flame on his lighter casting a sinful arc on his lips...
