The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 535

At night, Fu Youhan, as usual, sneaked into Jiang Moxi’s room and noticed her slightly reddened eyes, guessing that she had cried today.

Fu Youhan pulled Jiang Moxi into his arms and kissed her eyes, "Silly girl, don’t cry for such people, they are not worth it."

After learning that the Jiang Family had gone to the Feng Family and provoked Jiang Moxi to the point of almost firing a gun, Fu Youhan naturally initiated a series of actions.

He first disrupted the financial chain of the Jiang Family before actively exposing the issues within their current industries. He also took the opportunity to notify the businesses around Yan City not to cooperate with the Jiang’s...

Indeed, compared to the Feng Family, Fu Youhan’s strikes were downright merciless.

He wanted everyone to see the price to be paid for bullying the woman of Fu Youhan.

However, Fu Youhan wouldn’t inform Jiang Moxi of this for the time being, as he knew that Jiang Moxi had always been lenient towards her family and would likely stop him if she knew.

"Today was an accident, I definitely won’t be sad for these people ever again," said Jiang Moxi.

Fu Youhan gently tapped Jiang Moxi’s nose, then leaned in for a kiss, initiating their enchanting night...

The next day, Jiang Moxi went to take Hu Yedong’s pulse and prescribed some medicine.

The nurse quickly prepared the decoction.

Seeing the bowl of pitch-dark medicinal soup, Hu Yedong couldn’t help but frown: "Can I not drink it today?"

The taste of this medicine, was truly unbearably bitter.

Even as Hu Yedong convinced himself that it was for his ongoing treatment costs, and for his parents’ support, he still found it hard to swallow.

But, as soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Moxi’s icy gaze fell on him: "Don’t make me force-feed you."

This scene immediately sent the live stream’s viewers into a frenzy of comments.

"Holy shit, that familiar recipe, that familiar taste!"

"Send Hu Yedong a song of chill."

"Hu Yedong’s jaw is going to be unhinged again."

The viewers were all too familiar with Jiang Moxi’s tactics, and Hu Yedong, who was repeatedly victimized, even more so.

Frightened, he swallowed salvia several times before saying, "I’ll drink it, isn’t that enough?"

Then he picked up the medicinal soup and gulped it down forcefully.

His gesture was as if he feared if he drank any slower, his jaw would be dismantled by Jiang Moxi again.

The viewers were even commenting with heavy hearts, "The speed of drinking this medicine carries a sense of inexplicable sadness."

However, Jiang Moxi, who witnessed the whole process, didn’t feel slightest bit of sorrow. She only instructed Hu Yedong.

"Stick to your meals and medicine these next few days; you should be able to recover quickly. I’ll come back after a week, on the day the competition ends."

In the upcoming days, as Li Tinglu was coming to Emperor City, Jiang Moxi planned to be a good host and show her around.

But upon hearing this, Hu Yedong immediately frowned: "Ah? You’re going to leave me alone?"

Fu Wangning was practically at the hospital every day, monitoring the test data of the nine patients, and promptly adjusting the dosages for those whose conditions showed significant fluctuations.

She demonstrated her responsibility toward the patients and her seriousness and meticulousness in the competition through her actions.

As for Jiang Moxi’s side, aside from the first three days when she would come in the morning to annoy him, forcefully feed him medicine and food, she did not appear at other times.

Weekend arrived, and Hu Yedong finally saw Jiang Moxi again, only for her to come and go in a hurry, stating she would only appear after the competition ended.

At this instant, Hu Yedong felt like he was suffering from a fake illness.

But Jiang Moxi said, "You’re almost healed, it’s a waste of time for me to visit you every day."

"But I feel like you’re not taking responsibility for me! Look, Professor Fu is always by the patients’ side, whereas I haven’t even caught a glimpse of you."

Hu Yedong was somewhat distressed.

Perhaps persuaded by Jiang Moxi, he had come to accept his situation and really wanted to try hard to live on, to personally care for his aging parents.

But Jiang Moxi’s intermittent visits filled him with anxiety about his own fate.

"She’s doing that to establish her image; I’m not interested in establishing any image," Jiang Moxi was unconcerned about being compared to Fu Wangning and losing to her.

But Hu Yedong was somewhat anxious: "Regardless of establishing an image or not, it would be better for you to stay here. Haven’t you seen how people online are talking about you?"

Jiang Moxi had taken care of all Hu Yedong’s worries, and he was truly grateful to her, so he wanted her to have a good life too.

As a result, whenever he had time at night to browse the topics related to their traditional medicine competition livestream, it was all about criticizing Jiang Moxi.

He felt really bad reading those comments and truly hoped Jiang Moxi could shake off that criticism.

"What’s there to be afraid of? They curse at me; it’s not like I’m losing a piece of flesh."

Jiang Moxi, with a ’dead pig not afraid of boiling water’ attitude, made Hu Yedong really feel the phrase "When the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuchs are to death!"

Seeing that Hu Yedong still wanted to persuade her, Jiang Moxi asked him, "If you really want me to stay, I could come to feed you meals and medicine on time three times a day."

Hu Yedong immediately recollected the fear of having his jaw dislocated while being force-fed medicine and hastily waved it off, "That’s not necessary."

"See, you don’t particularly want me to stay either, so I’ll just come to check the results on the final day, okay?"

Having said that, Jiang Moxi left with a carefree air.

Also, because of her disregard for advice, the netizens in Hu Yedong’s livestream were somewhat unreceptive.

"Designer X is really slack, still has the nerve to say Professor Fu is pretentious just to establish an image."

"She probably thinks she has no chance of winning, has completely given up on the competition, that’s why she’s compensating Hu Yedong and not planning to waste more time on this."

"Poor Hu Yedong! If he had chosen Professor Fu at the start, he wouldn’t have had Designer X treating his life so insignificantly."

Of course, apart from lots of comments criticizing Hu Yedong, there were objective comments mixed into the barrage.

"I actually think Hu Yedong has been in much better spirits these past two days, noticeably better than before."

"Seeing Hu Yedong’s complexion apparently better than before in the last two days, I’m looking forward to the results that Designer X will deliver."

Naturally, these comments were attacked by Fu Wangning’s believers.

However, amidst the heated debate between both sides, Hu Yedong’s complexion was indeed improving with time.

And whereas he could not walk on his own before, he even began practicing Tai Chi in the ward these past two days.

Hu Yedong’s apparent improvement drew heated discussions online and also drew Fu Wangning’s attention.

Early that day, Fu Wangning even specially went to visit Hu Yedong’s ward.

Hu Yedong was surprised to see Fu Wangning, but she smiled and said, "Don’t be nervous; I’m just coming to see how you are. Moxi isn’t here—if you feel unwell, you can also talk to me."

While Fu Wangning’s visit was partly to gain favor, it was also to understand Hu Yedong’s current condition, to see if he was truly healed by Jiang Moxi.

But Hu Yedong said with a smile, "I’m feeling no discomfort. Strangely enough, after drinking Dr. Jiang’s medicine, I’ve been feeling much lighter all over and in better spirits than even before I got sick..."
