The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 301
CHAPTER 301: CHAPTER 301
"If you really want to do this, I’ll help you. But you must remember to ensure your own safety."
Jiang Moxi looked at the situation between Yu Dingding and Ye Chen and felt a myriad of emotions in her heart.
Yu Dingding once looked at Ye Chen with eyes clearly filled with deep love.
If it weren’t for Qin Shuang’s malicious harm, and Ye Chen’s deliberate indulgence, things wouldn’t have turned out like this.
Therefore, Jiang Moxi supported Yu Dingding’s revenge; only by letting Yu Dingding’s hatred be resolved could she gradually step out of the shadows of being violated.
After Yu Dingding promised she would certainly keep herself safe, the two returned to the private room.
The four of them sat down and chatted and laughed; midway through, Yu Dingding went to the restroom.
Taking advantage of Yu Dingding being away, Ye Chen asked Jiang Moxi, "Xiao Moxi, can’t you tell me what exactly happened to Dingding?"
Jiang Moxi had just been chatting with Fu Youhan, her gaze soft, her black hair thick and hanging straight down.
Upon hearing Ye Chen’s question and turning to look at him, her eyes quickly turned cold and pressing: "You want to know?"
"Of course." Ye Chen absentmindedly looked at the half glass of red wine remaining in his hand: "These days I feel like we’ve gone back to the past, even beyond that. But on further reflection, it seems like only Dingding’s shell has returned to me, her heart still keeps me shut out."
"If you really want to win Dingding’s heart, then personally tear Qin Shuang into pieces. I think, Dingding won’t only forgive you, she’ll also give her heart to you."
Jiang Moxi looked at Ye Chen with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
But upon hearing this, Ye Chen bristled: "What does Shuangshuang have to do with this? Why can’t you all tolerate Shuangshuang? She’s just physically weak and wants more attention from others; why are you all so antagonistic towards her!"
As usual, Ye Chen strongly defended Qin Shuang, which made Jiang Moxi feel that the conversation was utter nonsense.
"Fine then, if you are so protective of your Shuangshuang, don’t covet Dingding’s heart." Jiang Moxi turned cold immediately.
Ye Chen also realized that Jiang Moxi disliked Qin Shuang very much and, fearing that the conversation would freeze there, hurriedly said, "Xiao Moxi, I just want to talk to you about Dingding’s issues. Just tell me what you know, can we not bring up Shuangshuang?"
But Jiang Moxi told him, "Young Master Ye, the events that happened to Dingding, I have no right to tell you without asking her."
That was the deepest wound in Yu Dingding’s heart. Jiang Moxi couldn’t expose her scars to Ye Chen without getting Yu Dingding’s permission.
Ye Chen wanted to continue persuading Jiang Moxi, but she just left him with a warning: "You’re so biased towards Qin Shuang, just don’t regret it later."
After saying this, Jiang Moxi no longer wanted to stay there, calling Fu Youhan to leave with her.
When they walked out of the private room, they just saw Yu Dingding standing outside the door of the room, watching Ye Chen with a cool gaze.
Obviously, the door to the room had not been shut tightly, so Yu Dingding, after coming back from the restroom, had also overheard Ye Chen’s biased comments in favor of Qin Shuang.
At that instant, when Ye Chen’s and Yu Dingding’s gazes met, there was some inexplicable panic.
"Dingding." Ye Chen hurriedly rose to walk towards the entrance of the private room.
Knowing that Ye Chen probably had a multitude of excuses ready to make, Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan greeted Yu Dingding before leaving.
Once they were gone, Ye Chen came over to pull Yu Dingding’s hand, pulling her somewhat frantically into his embrace.
"It’s not that I think you are inferior to Shuangshuang; I just feel that..."
Ye Chen was not only gripping Yu Dingding’s hand tightly but also firmly encircling her waist.
Because intuition told him that the current Yu Dingding was a kite with its string cut—if he didn’t hold her tightly, she might fly far away.
But Yu Dingding calmly took Ye Chen’s hand off her waist, her expression carrying a distant smile, impenetrable.
"I don’t care, whoever you think is good is good for you. I’m not going to spend my life with you, so there’s no need for me to get jealous over your ’moon in the heart’."
"You’re not going to spend your life with me, then who are you going to spend it with?"
Ye Chen couldn’t stand Yu Dingding’s indifferent attitude towards him and immediately pulled her back.
"I’m not sure who I will spend my life with in the future. But that person... will definitely not be you."
Yu Dingding said to Ye Chen with a smile, her eyes bright and the corners slightly lifted, looking incredibly sincere.
But Ye Chen felt like someone had ripped open a wound in his heart.
Yu Dingding actually didn’t want to spend her life with him at all...
Ye Chen didn’t know how to describe his feelings at that moment, only feeling as though something important had already slipped away from his life.
His eyes were fixed on Yu Dingding, with countless red blood vessels surfacing in the bottom of his eyes.
But Yu Dingding just chuckled: "Mr. He from the eighth floor said he hadn’t seen me in a while, and knowing I was coming back tonight, he brought me several of the latest Hermès bags. I’m going to go down and have a drink with Mr. He to express my gratitude. Can you let me go now?"
Ye Chen was about to explode with anger, wanting to question Yu Dingding, why be so depraved, to let others buy your gratitude with just a few bags.
But then he realized after the fact that Yu Dingding’s depravity was cultivated by his own hands...
This realization made Ye Chen suddenly feel powerless, and he let go of Yu Dingding’s hand.
Yu Dingding shook her charming long curly hair, strutted away on her stilettos without looking back, tantalizing and enchanting.
But Ye Chen had followed her, as if possessed.
He took a seat not far from Yu Dingding and Mr. He, then, from a short distance, watched Yu Dingding chat and laugh vivaciously with Mr. He, allowing his salacious paw to drape over her smooth shoulders, showing only a shy expression...
At that moment, Ye Chen tasted blood in his mouth.
He clearly remembered that Yu Dingding used to not let anyone touch her, even him, Ye Chen, took a lot of soft talk and hard persuading just to touch her shoulder.
But now, a few Hermès bags could win Yu Dingding’s compromise, and her radiant smile?
Ye Chen had never regretted like he did at this moment, allowing Yu Dingding to fall to this point.
But he couldn’t help wondering, with Yu Dingding getting along so happily with Mr. He, was he included in the good people she tasted?
So, Ye Chen immediately called the manager over and ordered him to take Mr. He into custody...

When Jiang Moxi went to tutor Ling Hua on that day, she happened to run into Ling Hua and Xue Junyi laughing and talking at the entrance of the Ling Family mansion.
Upon seeing Jiang Moxi, Ling Hua hurriedly came over with glee: "Sister Moxi, let me formally introduce to you, this is my boyfriend, Xue Junyi."
"Junyi, this is my Sister Moxi, she also helps out in this house. But you two are alumni, so you should know each other," Ling Hua introduced Xue Junyi to Jiang Moxi, then introduced Jiang Moxi to Xue Junyi.
After saying that, Ling Hua secretly winked at Jiang Moxi.
Jiang Moxi immediately understood that Ling Hua was asking her to keep the secret and not let Xue Junyi know that she’s the owner of the house.
While Jiang Moxi was puzzled as to why Ling Hua would do this, Xue Junyi suddenly gave Jiang Moxi a smile and said: "I know her, Student Jiang has a good relationship with your brother, Ling Ye."
Then he said to Ling Hua: "Huahua, weren’t you going to return the coat to me? Go get it. I have to go to work and I’m already running late."
"Almost forgot, wait for me. I’ll go get the coat right now." Ling Hua said, then ran into the house.
After sending Ling Hua away, Xue Junyi looked towards Jiang Moxi...
