The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 370
CHAPTER 370: CHAPTER 370
Jiang Moxi stared at the diamond ring, those few seconds of hesitation not only felt like torture to Fu Youhan, but they were like a lingering execution to the Jiang Family members.
Jiang Moxi had not only captured the admiration of the outstanding Third Master Fu, he even cast aside his pride and got down on one knee to propose to her in front of everyone.
In their eyes, this was the ultimate honor.
But Jiang Moxi continued to act recklessly, not only repeatedly shaking off Fu Youhan’s hand but also hesitated to respond to him, which was truly infuriating.
Thus, they all hoped that Fu Youhan would not be able to stand Jiang Moxi’s difficult personality and would leave her on the spot.
Especially Jiang Weiwei.
She wished for nothing more than for Jiang Moxi to reject Fu Youhan’s proposal, or for him to dump her right there and then.
Otherwise, judging by Jiang Moxi’s close friendship with Suchen, and soon to be Fu Youhan’s fiancée, the Jiang Family would surely treat Jiang Moxi like an honored ancestor.
By then, what place would there be for her, Jiang Weiwei?
Maybe, just to vent their anger, they would even push her, Jiang Weiwei, to be humiliated at Jiang Moxi’s whim.
Therefore, Jiang Weiwei was fervently hoping that Jiang Moxi would reject the proposal, part ways with Fu Youhan, and even better, annoy everyone.
But in reality, the more Jiang Weiwei wished for Jiang Moxi’s failure, the more often Jiang Moxi would develop in the direction she least wanted.
Just look at the man kneeling before her; the layer of frost in Jiang Moxi’s eyes seemed to have cracked.
Her voice also became raspy: "So for the sake of proposing to me, you even stopped using your wheelchair?"
Actually, even if Fu Youhan didn’t explicitly say it, she could tell that Fu Youhan always appearing in a wheelchair was part of a meticulous plan.
But to retain her, he actually abandoned the plan?
Fu Youhan curled his lips into a smile, both wicked and charming: "I remember someone previously saying, with your qualifications, it wouldn’t be difficult to marry someone powerful and influential. There’s no need to pin your hopes on me, someone with a disability."
No sooner had Fu Youhan said this, than many people below started to exclaim.
Ling Ye even broke free from his mother’s grasp, cursing loudly.
"Who, blind as they are, dared to say such things about my young uncle? Even if my young uncle sits in a wheelchair, you can’t even compare to one hair on my young uncle’s leg."
Indeed, Ling Ye has always regarded Fu Youhan’s early achievements as an unattainable peak for the younger generation.
Ling Ye has always seen Fu Youhan as his idol, so he couldn’t stand it when others used the word "disabled" to describe him, making him sound so pathetic.
Aside from Ling Ye, countless others in attendance revered Fu Youhan’s past conquest of Wall Street, respecting him immensely.
So they also began to criticize the person who said that.
"Who said such things? Come out and let us see what kind of face you have, daring to call our Third Master Fu ’disabled’?"
"Their capability is small, but their talk is big. Ignorant people are indeed the most frightful."
Amidst the fervent discussions of the crowd, Jiang Tairan’s face turned pale, and his legs started to wobble.
Because those words, they were said by him.
And what he didn’t expect was that Fu Youhan remembered every single word and to prove that he was worthy of Jiang Moxi, to slap him, Jiang Tairan, in the face, he strived in rehabilitation to stand up and propose to Jiang Moxi.
At this moment, Jiang Tairan was more awake than ever before, realizing that his actions that day had thoroughly angered Fu Youhan, and that Fu Youhan had no intention of letting him off.
Probably after Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi get married, it would be the end for him, Jiang Tairan, and the Jiang Family.
Jiang Tairan was deeply shaken, his vision blurred, and he almost fell over.
Fortunately, Jiang Guosheng and others were right by his side, rushing to help him up and sending him to the hospital.
Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan had also noticed Jiang Tairan’s reaction, but they both knew he was feeling guilty, so their conversation continued.
Fu Youhan looked at Jiang Moxi with an intense focus as if she was the only person left in his world.
"So I’m standing here today to tell those who think I don’t deserve you, to let them know that I’m not disabled. As for power and wealth, as long as you want it, what I have, I can give to you. What I don’t have, I will also find for you."
Fu Youhan didn’t care that he had spent many years arranging things just to prove that he was worthy of her so that she wouldn’t be looked down upon by her family...
Jiang Moxi could feel the cracks inside her heart being magnified endlessly.
Especially when the man used the husky voice that they only shared in moments of utmost intimacy to tell her, "Xixi, I love you, deeply. Through life and death, I only want to spend it with you..."
Jiang Moxi found that her original convictions seemed to collapse in an instant.
"Fu Youhan." Her voice was hoarse, with an added ethereal quality, very captivating.
Especially the way she called out his full name, there was an eerie sense of sanctity.
"I just want one promise," said Jiang Moxi.
"What promise?" Fu Youhan asked.
"In the future, you cannot leave me again for Wen You," Jiang Moxi said with a clear and earnest look in her eyes.
Fu Youhan thought Jiang Moxi was making this request because he had been neglecting her for Wen You lately.
So he smiled and said, "Silly girl, I won’t do that anymore."
But Jiang Moxi said, "I need you to make a solemn oath. And if you break your promise again, I will make sure you never see me this lifetime. I mean what I say."
Seeing Jiang Moxi getting angry, Fu Youhan quickly made the oath she wanted, "I promise I will never leave you again, not for Wen You or anyone else. Nothing can take me away from your side!"
After making the oath, Fu Youhan asked Jiang Moxi, "Can you agree to marry me now?"
Jiang Moxi smiled, "Yes."
She was originally beautiful, and with a smile, she looked even more stunning, like cherry blossoms gently falling.
Fu Youhan then carefully took out the ring from the velvet box and gently placed it on Jiang Moxi’s ring finger.
Afterward, he stood up immediately and kissed Jiang Moxi...
Instantly, the banquet erupted with applause, whistles, and cheers.
It seemed as though everyone from the bottom of their hearts was jubilant for Third Master Fu’s successful marriage proposal.
Even Ling Ye, who had never been very fond of Jiang Moxi and his uncle, couldn’t help but join in the joy, clapping and saying, "Moxi, well done! You actually won over my uncle, that’s awesome!"
Amidst the laughter and joy of the crowd, as well as Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi’s uncontrollable passionate kiss, there was one person retreating step by step, unable to accept the reality.
That person was Fu Wangning.
Fu Wangning had not expected to witness Fu Youhan doing so much for another woman, nor had she expected him to lose control for another woman.
In her mind, she always thought that only she could be the one to end up with Fu Youhan.
But now...
Tears cascaded down from the corner of Fu Wangning’s eyes uncontrollably, like a break in a dam.
Fu Wangning also knew that there were many people around, and it was embarrassing to be seen like this, but she couldn’t control herself.
Her years of vigil, her years of admiration, at this moment, all turned into a joke, how could she bear it...
