Addicted to Love, Mr. Fu’s Newly Married Wife

Chapter 1681 The Taste of Tea

When Fu Yanchen arrived at the ward, he saw Nan Weiwei and Xiao Mei still sitting there, chatting and laughing with Xu Xiaoxiao. His face immediately darkened, and his displeasure was clearly written on his face.

He didn't like having too many people around Xu Xiaoxiao to disturb her rest, especially when she hadn't fully recovered.

Nan Weiwei was sitting in the ward chair with her legs crossed, holding a bag of snacks in her hand, and occasionally stuffing them into her mouth.

When she saw Fu Yanchen come in, she merely raised her eyelids, a slight upturn of her lips revealing a disdainful smile.

Anyway, she and Fu Yanchen never got along; they couldn't stand each other the moment they met.

In Nan Weiwei's eyes, Fu Yanchen was always so serious and cold, like an emotionless machine who didn't know how to care for people at all.

Fu Yanchen also felt that Nan Weiwei was carefree and irresponsible, always leading Xu Xiaoxiao to do some unreliable things.

Xiao Mei was different. When she saw Fu Yanchen come in, her body trembled involuntarily, and fear filled her eyes.

Fu Yanchen is a very capable person. He is decisive and ruthless in the business world, and his aura is so powerful that people dare not look him in the eye.

Every time she saw Fu Yanchen, she would be so nervous that she couldn't speak, let alone being alone in a room with him like this.

"Xiaoxiao needs to rest," Fu Yanchen said coldly, his gaze sweeping over Nan Weiwei and Xiaomei, his eyes clearly indicating that he wanted them to leave.

Nan Weiwei listened to Fu Yanchen's words and pursed her lips indifferently. She threw the remaining snacks in her hand aside, then pointed to Xu Xiaoxiao, who was eating an apple and watching cartoons on the hospital bed, and said, "Yeah, I know. She... isn't she resting in bed right now? Look at her, eating an apple and watching cartoons, how comfortable is that? It's just resting."

Hearing Nan Weiwei and Fu Yanchen's conversation, Xu Xiaoxiao looked up, still chewing on an apple, and mumbled, "Hey, Fu Yanchen, don't be so serious. Weiwei and Xiaomei rarely come to see me, let them keep me company for a while, I'm so bored by myself." Her eyes held a hint of coquetry and pleading.

Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao's pitiful appearance, Fu Yanchen's displeasure lessened slightly, but he still insisted, "Xiaoxiao, you haven't fully recovered yet and need to rest more. They'll disturb you here." His tone softened.

"Tsk tsk tsk, henpecked." Nan Weiwei said with a disdainful look.

Xu Xiaoxiao,,,

Xiao Mei sat to the side, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

She could sense the tension between Fu Yanchen and Nan Weiwei, and she could also feel Fu Yanchen's displeasure at their arrival.

Her heart was beating faster and faster, and her breathing became rapid, as if the air in the entire ward had become thin.

"Um... I'm going to the restroom, you guys talk." Xiaomei finally couldn't hold back anymore. She stood up abruptly and said in a slightly trembling voice.

After saying that, she didn't wait for Fu Yanchen and Nan Weiwei to respond, and hurriedly walked out of the ward as if something terrible was chasing her.

Watching Xiao Mei flee in panic, Nan Weiwei couldn't help but laugh. She teased, "Oh, Xiao Mei, is it really that serious? Are you so afraid of Fu Yanchen? He's not going to eat you."

Fu Yanchen frowned, ignoring Nan Weiwei's teasing. He walked to Xu Xiaoxiao's bedside and said gently, "Xiaoxiao, be good, let them go back first, you should rest well."

What was Xu Xiaoxiao about to say?

Just then, Fu Yanchen's phone rang in his pocket. He frowned slightly, a hint of impatience flashing in his eyes. He quickly got up and walked out of the ward, intending to find a quiet place to answer the call.

As he reached the corner of the corridor, he ran into Xiaomei, who was rushing back from the direction of the restroom.

Xiao Mei kept her head down and walked quickly, still thinking about the tense atmosphere in the ward just now, completely unaware of Fu Yanchen walking towards her.

Just as she was about to bump into Fu Yanchen, she suddenly raised her head, her face instantly showing a look of horror, and her body subconsciously took a step back.

Fu Yanchen,,,,

"Mr. Fu... Mr. Fu," Xiaomei stammered, her voice faltering with nervousness.

Fu Yanchen stopped and looked coldly at Xiaomei without saying a word. He just frowned slightly, signaling her to speak quickly.

Fu Yanchen's eyes were deep and sharp, as if he could see through Xiao Mei's inner thoughts.

Xiao Mei took a deep breath and mustered her courage to say, "Mr. Fu, um... I'm sorry, it's our fault. We shouldn't have gone to see Xiao Xiao, and we definitely shouldn't have ordered takeout and encouraged her to eat it."

Her voice grew softer and softer, and her head drooped lower and lower, as if she had done something terribly wrong.

In Xiaomei's mind, Xu Xiaoxiao's sudden illness and hospitalization must be because they went to see her and ordered takeout, which caused her to get an upset stomach.

Thinking about all this, she felt filled with guilt.

Upon hearing Xiao Mei's words, Fu Yanchen frowned even more deeply, a hint of doubt and displeasure flashing in his eyes.

He sensed a hint of tea in her breath. The girl in front of him seemed to be apologizing, but her words sounded strange, as if she harbored some other intention. Suddenly, she reminded him of Lu Jingjing from before.

He asked coldly, "Alright, you're Xiaoxiao's friend, I won't blame you. Besides, Xiaoxiao's accident wasn't caused by the takeout."

Xiao Mei trembled at Fu Yanchen's words. She looked up at him in horror and stammered, "Mr. Fu... Mr. Fu, didn't Xiao Xiao get an upset stomach and go to the hospital? When we went to see her, we ordered takeout. I thought... I thought it was because she ate takeout that she got sick, so... so I'm sorry."

"Xiaoxiao didn't have an upset stomach; she was drugged. But you're right about one thing: if you hadn't ordered takeout, they wouldn't have had a chance to do it."

Upon hearing Fu Yanchen's words, Xiao Mei's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with shock and disbelief.

She covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Drugged? How could this happen? Who could be so cruel? Why?"

She never imagined that Xu Xiaoxiao's hospitalization was due to being drugged; it was truly terrifying.

"This matter is still under investigation. Also, don't take responsibility for yourself so easily in the future. Xiaoxiao doesn't like this kind of friend, and neither do I."

Upon hearing Fu Yanchen's words, Xiao Mei finally couldn't hold back her tears. She knew that she was of lowly status and that someone as important as Fu Yanchen would never respect her.

Xiao Mei said, choking back tears, "Mr. Fu, I understand. We're leaving now. We hope Xiao Xiao gets better soon."

Fu Yanchen didn't say anything more, just glanced at Xiaomei, and then turned around to continue answering the phone.

Xiao Mei stood there, watching Fu Yanchen's departing figure, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

Back in the ward...
