Chapter 40: Chapter 40
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Jiang Moxi caught the emphasis on the word "class" from the man, deliberately giving it a heavier tone, which caused her ears to turn a blush red.
But she still answered with a smile: "If Third Master Fu feels the need for a class, I won't refuse."
Fu Youhan's hawk-like eyes were half-closed as he tried to read other emotions in her eyes, but at that moment, the elevator doors opened with a "ding".
Jiang Moxi then flipped over, deftly getting off his lap.
As if no intimate behavior had just happened, she pushed him into the private room.
Afterward, she changed back into the waitress uniform and worked as usual.
Fu Youhan didn't ask any further about her and Fu Yiming's affairs.
It was as if their relationship was nothing more than that of an ordinary client and a waitress.
And tonight, the person by Ye Chen's side was still not Yu Dingding.
With a strap-hem dress draped on her, An Yang softly leaned into Ye Chen's arms.
"Young Master Ye, I wasn't paying attention and drank a lot of iced lemon tea!"
"Isn't iced lemon tea tasty? Or, should I get you a cup of iced coffee instead?"
Ye Chen swirled his wine glass, the corners of his lips still holding a tender curve that could make any woman fall.
"Hate you! What I mean is, my period is coming in a few days, and drinking something cold will give me a stomach ache."
"Oh, I see. Then I'll have someone prepare some painkillers for you later."
The man's disinterested demeanor forced An Yang to once again defuse the awkwardness by acting coy.
Carrying drinks, Jiang Moxi couldn't help but take another look at the two.
She could catch the hint in An Yang's words; she couldn't believe that Ye Chen, who was so familiar with women, wouldn't catch on.
Yet, in the face of An Yang's coquettish behavior, Ye Chen's reaction was nothing but a smirk from beginning to end.
This made Jiang Moxi involuntarily think of the time when Ye Chen personally made ginger brown sugar water for Yu Dingding during her period.
Then she couldn't help but think, maybe Ye Chen did have some feelings for Yu Dingding.
Otherwise, he could have treated her just like how he treated An Yang.
But if he really cared, then why would he let Yu Dingding go to a place like the eighth floor?
Mystified, Jiang Moxi was contemplating when a cold male voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Come with me after work."
Startled, Jiang Moxi turned around and saw Fu Youhan's icy gaze.
She frowned slightly, realizing that Fu Youhan indeed intended for her to take a 'class' with him tonight.
But she nodded and then carried the tray out of the private room.
Immediately after Jiang Moxi left, Ye Chen teased, "Hmm, made up?"
Fu Youhan took a sip of his drink: "No."
In fact, he and Jiang Moxi weren't exactly in a position to make up or break up.
And he hadn't planned on having her repay the favor by owing him her body tonight.
But seeing her staring absentmindedly at Ye Chen had seriously irritated him.
Irritated enough that he wanted to destroy it all.
"Then why do you want to be with her after work?" Ye Chen dug in with more gusto.
Fu Youhan glanced at Ye Chen's gossip-hungry expression and the corners of his lips curled coldly.
"Well, how come you call her 'baby' but are willing to let your 'baby' accompany someone else?"
"Can't argue with you." Ye Chen immediately retracted his gossipy face and smirked.
Later, he got drunk.
An Yang offered to take Ye Chen back, but he refused, insisting that his 'grass protector', Yu Dingding, be the one to send him off.
In the end, the manager had to personally go up to the eighth floor and ask Yu Dingding to come up and take Ye Chen back...

After finishing work, Jiang Moxi, as agreed, got into Fu Youhan's car.
Upon reaching Tianqin Bay Villa, Chi Jing tactfully drove away.
After the two entered the villa, Fu Youhan went straight to the bathroom.
Jiang Moxi simply sat on the sofa and skimmed through the new messages on her phone.
Fu Yiming sent the most messages, generally threatening Jiang Moxi not to tell Fu Youhan about the Skin Relaxing Pills incident.
Jiang Moxi couldn't be bothered to read the details and directly deleted the messages.
Besides Fu Yiming, there were also messages from Mu Wanting.
She sent a very difficult advanced math problem, then took a screenshot of a livestream room.
The image showed Xiao Zhong teaching a math problem, with Mu Wanting's account "MM" repeatedly posting comments about that same advanced math problem.
Then came a text message from Mu Wanting: "Moxi, Bitch Xiao definitely won't be able to solve that problem, look how he dares not to respond to me!"
Jiang Moxi chuckled and replied: "How come it's Bitch Xiao, wasn't he God Xiao before?"
Mu Wanting was playing with her phone and replied very promptly.
"He's targeting you like that, he directly shattered the filter in my mind."
Jiang Moxi replied to her: "He targets me, not you, don't be so extreme."
"Targeting you is much more serious than targeting me. There's a saying that goes well; it takes a hundred years to sail together, and a thousand years to share a desk. I'm now in the mood to shred him into duck by hand!"
Mu Wanting quickly sent another screenshot to Jiang Moxi.
It was still a screenshot of Xiao Zhong teaching in the livestream, but the comments in the room had taken on a different tone.
"Teacher Xiao, student MM is asking a question, please respond to her!"
"It's not that Teacher Xiao didn't see the comments, but perhaps he doesn't know the answer to that problem?"
"How can someone who can't even solve problems from netizens claim to be the most outstanding advanced math teacher from First University!"
Jiang Moxi knew that Mu Wanting was trying to trouble Xiao Zhong for her.
She actually didn't care about these things, but seeing Mu Wanting so anxious about this matter, she suddenly felt that attending Technical College was not a waste of time.
At least, she made friends who truly cared for her...
Lost in thought, staring at her phone, a familiar male voice suddenly reached her ears.
"What are you looking at?"
Jiang Moxi turned her head to see Fu Youhan, dressed in a dark grey bathrobe, with droplets of water still clinging to his dark hair, his eyes deep and shadowy.
"Nothing."
Jiang Moxi put away her phone, pondering whether to take a shower as well, when the man lowered his head and kissed her.
After that, everything became uncontrollable.
Jiang Moxi only remembered being tossed and turned until dazedly, the man seemed to whisper in her ear:
"Ye Chen is not suitable for you..."
She wanted to ask the man why he was associating her with the playboy Ye Chen.
But she was too exhausted, so exhausted she couldn't even keep her eyes open.
Finally, all the questions were brought into her dreams...

The next morning, Jiang Moxi received a call from Yu Man.
"Where did you go last night? Do you think this house is a hotel? If you really don't want to stay in this house, why don't you just move out?"
Jiang Moxi was drowsily asleep just now and did not clearly see the caller ID when she answered the phone.
Only after hearing Yu Man's blistering criticism did she realize she had actually picked up Yu Man's call.
"I was last night..." Jiang Moxi was about to make up an excuse for not returning home last night.
But Yu Man cut her off directly.
"I don't care what you did last night, and where you are now, you must come home within half an hour, and go to the cultural center with us to see Weiwei's photography exhibition!"
Yu Man hung up the phone after saying that.
Jiang Moxi stared at the phone for a long while before giving a bitter smile.
Actually, Yu Man took the initiative to call her, merely to make her a part of the crowd to visit Jiang Weiwei's exhibition at the cultural center, right?
