The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 372
CHAPTER 372: CHAPTER 372
The banquet continued.
Fu Youhan publicly declared his love for Jiang Moxi, causing a sensation that far surpassed the Ling’s anniversary celebration itself.
Therefore, even though their group hadn’t dispersed, many people came forward spontaneously to offer their congratulations.
"Third Master Fu, congratulations, congratulations, you’ve won a beauty’s heart."
"Third Master Fu, today is truly a double celebration for you! Returning to stand on your own two feet and having such a handsome fiancée by your side."
While these people were offering their congratulations, they did not forget to toast Fu Youhan.
For these drinks, Fu Youhan was almost never one to refuse.
Simply because, he loved to hear the praises about Xixi.
Seeing Fu Youhan downing one glass of strong alcohol after another, Jiang Moxi couldn’t help but frown.
"Can you really handle this much drinking?"
Red wine, white wine, and even foreign liquor were all sitting in his stomach, and she was certain the aftermath would be very uncomfortable later.
But Fu Youhan leaned into Jiang Moxi’s ear and whispered, "Even later, when we go to the bridal chamber, it won’t be a problem!"
Jiang Moxi was so irritated that she itched to give him a good punch, and so she hit him a few times on his chest.
After not seeing him for just two days, some people were becoming more and more indecent.
When other girls hit someone, at most they’d swing their small, powder-fists, and their hits would feel more like tickling.
But when Jiang Moxi did it, she almost made his chest reverberate with the impact of her punches.
Nevertheless, Fu Youhan just smiled and let her hit him, even reaching out to catch Jiang Moxi’s fist and kissing it.
"I’ll get my revenge on you tonight!"
Jiang Moxi was again so annoyed she could hardly stand it.
Her eyes, usually so bright and lively, were now filled with sudden shyness and charm, like poppies blooming at midnight, captivating the soul.
Suchen watched the interaction between the two and eventually couldn’t help but speak up: "Are you really going to have the wedding on March 6th??"
Suchen’s voice drew the attention of both Jiang Moxi and Fu Youhan.
Fu Youhan’s brows were furrowed; it was unclear whether he felt Suchen was being too nosey.
Suchen hurriedly explained, "I was thinking, since you only get married once, it should be done more seriously, and you should pick an auspicious day."
Jiang Moxi looked at Fu Youhan, thinking to suggest perhaps they should postpone the date.
After all, they were surrounded by dangers during this time.
But Fu Youhan quickly explained with a smile, "Actually, I have consulted a master for this date. The master said that March 6th of this year is most suitable, and the next suitable date for our wedding might not come until three years later."
Fu Youhan then looked down at Jiang Moxi: "Three years is just too long to wait. I can’t wait, so let’s have the wedding in two days and firmly tie her to my side."
Hearing this, the wrinkle between Suchen’s brows didn’t fade.
Seeing her expression, Ling Yinan quietly pulled Suchen to the side.
"What’s wrong with you? Why the long face? Aren’t you happy that Teacher Jiang is getting married?"
Suchen said, "It’s not that I’m unhappy, it’s just that I feel she’s still young and doesn’t need to decide to get married so soon."
"The age is indeed a bit early for marriage, but I believe our uncle will take good care of Teacher Jiang. It’s the first time I’ve seen our uncle care so much about someone."
Ling Yinan was even afraid that Suchen was not aware of Fu Youhan’s capabilities, so he repeated the story of him sweeping through Wall Street back in the day to Suchen again.
But Suchen said, "I know he’s capable and I know he’s rich and powerful, Xixi with him will certainly have nothing to worry about in terms of food and clothing in the future. But I always feel that a man like him is too cunning."
Suchen, of course, knew this was the Third Master Fu who had once stunned the entire Yan City, and even the whole country.
Not to mention, Emperor Bow Group was strikingly among the four companies that ultimately partnered with THE ONE Group’s in-car system.
Of course, Suchen and Lai De were initially very unfamiliar with the name of this family company, only knowing that the company’s behind-the-scenes boss had never appeared in person.
But in such partnerships, THE ONE Group has always negotiated with the boss in person, so they were planning to exclude this company from the partnership upon learning that the boss of Emperor Bow Group did not intend to attend in person.
However, what their information department found was that this company had the best qualifications among the four groups.
If they could collaborate with Emperor Bow, the development of the in-car system could achieve the greatest effectiveness.
So, Lai De used international forces to investigate the boss behind Emperor Bow, and the answer came as a shock.
Yes, the mysterious boss behind Emperor Bow, was none other than Fu Youhan, who once wowed the entire world.
And he currently owns not just Emperor Bow, a company with strong capabilities, but his businesses span various fields.
Lai De was very hopeful about establishing this partnership, so he personally met with Fu Youhan that very evening.
Suchen has yet to inquire about what they discussed.
However, Suchen knew that Lai De must have reached new terms of cooperation with Fu Youhan and had not announced them publicly for the time being.
So far, the four companies initially announced are still the ones publicly known to be competing for the new in-car system partnership.
And as one of the partners, Emperor Bow’s behind-the-scenes boss was grandly invited by THE ONE Group’s evening gala that day.
Only Lai De, following the previous requests, did not reveal at the banquet that Fu Youhan was the behind-the-scenes boss of Emperor Bow.
So up to now, many people do not know that even though this man has been in a wheelchair for years, his business empire has quietly expanded to heights unmatched by anyone in the country.
But it is precisely because Suchen knows the man’s abilities and schemes are beyond ordinary people’s reach that she worries about Jiang Moxi being wronged in this relationship.
"Our uncle’s schemes are certainly profound, but his heart is also kind. When I divorced the father of my children that year, struggling alone with two kids, it was nearly impossible for me to survive in this city, and everyone looked on with cold eyes, only he reached out to help me and the children."
"He taught me how to set up a company, how to operate it, and how to make a living. During my tough times, he often brought nutritious things for the children, ensuring the three of us never lacked material needs."
"Even now that the children have grown up, he still often brings things to visit them and teach them. He has only ever been kind to us without ever asking for anything in return."
As Ling Yinan reminisced about the past, her eyes were full of gratitude towards Fu Youhan.
Hearing these things from Ling Yinan, Suchen also began to realize that Fu Youhan was a person with a tender heart.
Suchen turned back and looked at the girl who was brought to the side by Fu Youhan, the girl who was receiving blessings with him.
Ah, she was truly reluctant to see Xixi marry off so soon.
But she was not Jiang Moxi’s parent or relative; she had no position to stop Xixi, not even a position to express her thoughts, which was what saddened Suchen the most.
How wonderful it would have been if she were Xixi’s birth mother?
As soon as this thought emerged, Suchen couldn’t control herself.
Taking the opportunity to accompany Jiang Moxi to the restroom, and seeing her long hair a bit messy, she took out her comb to tidy Jiang Moxi’s hair under the guise of helping, stealthily taking one of Jiang Moxi’s hairs...
