Chapter 1441: Mother's Concern
Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered with stubbornness, "Fu Yanchen, I'm not afraid of hard work."
There was only one thought in her mind, which was to keep this child no matter what. This was her own flesh and blood, the most precious treasure in her life.
Fu Yanchen looked at her with a trace of pity in his eyes. He knew that Xu Xiaoxiao's desire for this child was even stronger than her own.
He spoke softly, as if afraid of disturbing her persistence: "Well, then... now be obedient, go home and have a good rest. Tomorrow, the doctor will give you a detailed plan to preserve the pregnancy, and everything will be fine."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao pouted, looking both childish and reluctant.
Although she was extremely reluctant, for the sake of her child, she suppressed her dissatisfaction and resistance, and nodded slowly, gently, and carefully.
Her movements seemed a little slow, as if the act of nodding required all her strength.
She knew what the child meant to her, so she had to obey no matter what.
At this moment, all the contradictions and struggles in her heart were deeply buried, replaced by endless love and responsibility for her children.
She stood up slowly, with a barely perceptible caution in her movements, as if she was afraid that she might accidentally disturb the fragile little life in her belly.
Nan Weiwei stood aside, watching this scene, feeling mixed emotions.
She understood Xu Xiaoxiao's feelings. She didn't really want to blame Fu Yanchen just now. She just felt uncomfortable seeing Xu Xiaoxiao working so hard.
She sighed, and the resentment in her heart had long since dissipated.
As long as she smiles and is happy, she will be happier than anyone else. This friendship needs no words.
She turned to look at Fu Yanchen, with a warning flashing in her eyes: "Fu Yanchen, what if you dare to do that to Xiaoxiao again? I will beat you to death."
In fact, Nan Weiwei knew that Fu Yanchen’s love for Xiaoxiao was no less than hers.
Fu Yanchen smiled when he heard this, then nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, you don't have to tell me, if I bully her again, I will beat myself to death."
His eyes were full of sincerity, which was a promise to Xu Xiaoxiao and also a spur to himself.
Nan Weiwei felt a little comforted when she saw this. She patted Fu Yanchen's shoulder gently, then turned and left.
With her departure, only Xu Xiaoxiao and Fu Yanchen were left in the lounge.
After running back and forth in the hospital all day, when Xu Xiaoxiao finally returned to the Fu family, she was exhausted and her fatigue was hard to hide on her face.
She simply said hello to Hou's mother, "I'm tired, I'm going to bed first," and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Mother Hou looked at her back, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She turned to look at Fu Yanchen and asked softly, "Sir, is Xiaoxiao... okay?"
Hou's mother's tone was full of concern. After all, Xu Xiaoxiao was pregnant and so tired. How could people not worry?
Fu Yanchen shook his head gently, "It's okay. She must be tired after running back and forth in the hospital all day. I guess she doesn't want to eat now. Let's make the maternity meal tomorrow. Let her have a good rest at night, and she will be much better tomorrow."
Xu Xiaoxiao happened to meet her grandmother in the corridor. She was so tired that she only wanted to go back to her room to rest as soon as possible. She didn't notice her grandmother's presence at all and failed to take the initiative to say hello.
When grandma saw this scene, the expression on her face instantly became very ugly. She frowned tightly and turned the corners of her mouth downward, revealing obvious dissatisfaction and blame.
"No manners! Xiaoxiao, didn't you see your grandma?" The old lady's voice raised slightly, with a hint of annoyance.
"Yan Chen, you are unmatched in business, but how come you are such a failure in educating your children? Look at the child you raised, is this the one he has? He doesn't even know how to say hello to his elders when he sees them. He is really getting more and more outrageous!"
Her eyes fell on Xu Xiaoxiao, her eyes were full of disappointment and dissatisfaction, and there was a bit of anger in her tone. She was obviously very dissatisfied with Xu Xiaoxiao's behavior.
Hearing this, Fu Yanchen frowned slightly, looked at his grandmother, and spoke slowly, his voice gentle but with unquestionable power: "Grandma, Xiaoxiao's nature is like this, she is straightforward and true, and never hides her emotions."
"Besides, she is really tired today, both physically and mentally. It is normal for her to be a little irritable towards others. She is pregnant now and in poor health. We all need to take extra care of her."
"Don't talk to her about the rules at this time. Those red tapes are just a burden to her. I don't want her to be bound by those rules. She... is her, the one and only Xu Xiaoxiao. What I love is her authenticity and uniqueness."
"In the future, I hope you won't ask anything of her. Now, as long as she is happy, this child is very important to both her and me. We are willing to give everything for him. Please let us protect this happiness in our own way. Grandma, can you understand me?"
Every word Fu Yanchen said revealed his care for Xu Xiaoxiao.
Grandma is Xiaoxiao's elder, and Xiaoxiao will not give up, but he knows better that Xu Xiaoxiao is an indispensable part of his life, and he is willing to offend any relationship for her.
The old lady felt a complex emotion in her heart as she listened to Fu Yanchen's words.
When the old lady heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She didn't expect Fu Yanchen to defend Xu Xiaoxiao so firmly.
Then, she sighed, with a tone of helplessness and compromise: "I... I didn't know she was pregnant. I was doing this for her own good. She is so unruly. If she goes out, she will embarrass you. I am afraid that you will be embarrassed."
Fu Yanchen, "I have nothing to worry about."
Grandma was silent for a while, as if she couldn't find the right words to respond. Finally, she could only sigh helplessly and said, "Just don't make it difficult for me. Xiaoxiao is my granddaughter. How could I treat her badly? I know you are worried that I will have some bad thoughts about her, but that is absolutely impossible."
Grandma paused for a moment, then continued, "Well, don't stay here with an old woman like me, go and accompany Xiaoxiao. She's pregnant, so she must be in a bad mood. If you accompany her, she'll be happier."
Grandma looked out the window, then turned around and said to him, "I'll go out for a walk by myself later. Staying at home all day will make you sick. I'll go out for a walk, stretch my muscles, and it will make you feel better."
Fu Yanchen felt a little guilty when he heard what his grandmother said.
Although grandma spoke sternly, she loved Xu Xiaoxiao very much in her heart.
He nodded and turned around carefully like a light cat, afraid that any sound would wake Xu Xiaoxiao from her sweet dream.
Every step was taken extremely gently, as if what was under his feet was not the floor, but a floating cloud.
He moved slowly and cautiously, fearing that any carelessness on his part would destroy the tranquility.
He opened the bedroom door and closed it quietly without making any sound.
After returning to his room, he was afraid of waking up Xu Xiaoxiao who was sleeping soundly.
However, when he walked into the room, he found Xu Xiaoxiao lying quietly on the bed and fell asleep.
Her breathing was steady and gentle, like a peaceful nocturne; her long hair fell on the pillow, slightly covering her face, adding a touch of hazy beauty to her.
Fu Yanchen stood quietly beside the bed, staring at Xu Xiaoxiao's sleeping face, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He gently pulled the quilt over her and covered her, then sat quietly beside the bed, looking at her, as if time had stopped at this moment.
She curled up in bed, her face calm and peaceful, as if all her fatigue and anxiety had dissipated in her sleep. Fu Yan carefully sat down on the edge of the bed, gazing at her tenderly.
He gently reached out and tidied the hair around her ears. His movements were gentle and delicate, as if he was afraid of disturbing her sweet dream.
Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao sleeping soundly, a doting smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
At this moment, he seemed to see their future life, full of warmth and happiness.
His beloved little girl finally came back. Although the process was complicated and she experienced countless twists and turns and hardships, she finally returned to him.
He secretly vowed to cherish this hard-earned happiness and do his best to protect her and the baby in her belly.
Xu Xiaoxiao slept until the next morning and was awakened by an unbearable hunger.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and felt her stomach was empty, as if it could swallow a cow.
So she got up quickly, without even having time to put on her shoes, and ran to the kitchen.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw her mother busy at work.
When her mother saw her like this, she was stunned at first, then she smiled and shook her head.
Xu Xiaoxiao was not polite and asked directly: "Mother Hou, is there anything to eat? I'm starving."
When the mother heard this, she smiled. While busy preparing breakfast, she said softly, "Xiaoxiao, um... Mr. told me about your situation... You know your health... You yourself know that your health is the most important to me. Child... Actually... You already have one, that's enough."
Xu Xiaoxiao knew what Hou's mother wanted to say, "Hou's mother, did Fu Yanchen say something to you? How could this man be like this? Yesterday... he..." Xu Xiaoxiao looked unhappy.
"No, no, my husband told me to be happy, but I know your physical condition. What if something happens because of this pregnancy?"
His tone was full of concern and worry, and it was obvious that he was very concerned about Xu Xiaoxiao's physical condition.
Xu Xiaoxiao felt warm in her heart after hearing what Hou's mother said.
She knew that Hou's mother was truly concerned about her own good and was worried that her body would not be able to withstand the stress of another pregnancy.
But she also understood that this child meant a lot to her and Fu Yanchen.
She gently touched her belly, where was growing the fruit of their love, the most precious gift in her life.
So, she smiled and said to Hou's mother: "Hou's mother, don't worry. I will take good care of myself and the child. I know my physical condition and I will pay attention to it."
The voice was gentle but could not be refused. After hearing what she said, although her mother was still a little worried, she didn't say anything more.
She just nodded silently, then quickened her hands to prepare a nutritious breakfast for Xu Xiaoxiao.
She knew that no matter what, she would fully support Xu Xiaoxiao and Fu Yanchen's decision, and their happiness was her greatest wish.
Then my mother came out of the kitchen holding a bowl of steaming soup with a loving smile on her face.
She gently placed the soup on the table in front of Xu Xiaoxiao and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, you are hungry, drink some of the soup I made for you first. It is appetizing and can fill your stomach. Don't eat too much, otherwise you won't be able to eat later. I made you a meal for pregnant women."
When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, she immediately felt a warm feeling in her heart.
She looked at the bowl of delicious soup, her heart filled with gratitude.
She knew that Hou's mother always took care of her so carefully, and was extremely considerate of her in both life and diet.
She picked up the spoon and gently scooped a spoonful of soup into her mouth. The soup was delicious and instantly awakened her taste buds.
She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and praised Hou's mother: "Hou's mother, your cooking skills are getting better and better. This soup is so delicious."
When Hou's mother heard what she said, she couldn't stop laughing.
She gently patted the back of Xu Xiaoxiao's hand and said lovingly, "As long as you like it, I will stew it for you every day in the future. You are pregnant now, and your health is the most important thing. You must eat and drink well so that you can give birth to a healthy baby."
Xu Xiaoxiao nodded, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.
She knew that with her mother by her side to take care of her, she didn't have to worry about anything.
She just needs to rest assured and wait for the arrival of the little life.
And this peace and happiness is exactly what she has always longed for.
"Mother Hou, where's grandma?"
Xu Xiaoxiao drank the soup while looking around. She hadn't seen her grandmother all morning and couldn't help feeling curious.
Just as Mother Hou was about to answer, she saw the old lady rushing in from outside, carrying a bunch of things in her hands.
Her face was filled with a joyful smile, as if she had found some treasure.
"Xiaoxiao, come and have a look. Is there anything missing?" The old lady said as she placed the things in her hands on the table and began to show them one by one. "These are all for children. They are soft and comfortable and will not hurt the baby's skin."
When Xu Xiaoxiao saw this, a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She put down the spoon in her hand, walked over and picked up a small piece of clothing, gently stroked the soft fabric, looked up at her grandmother, and said gratefully: "Grandma, you are so kind and thoughtful. These things are enough, don't spend any more money."
The old lady heard her words, but waved her hand disapprovingly: "Why spend money? This is what I should do. You are pregnant with the Fu family's child, so of course I have to take good care of you. Besides, these small clothes and small items are pleasing to look at, and I am happy to buy them."
Xu Xiaoxiao was even more moved after hearing her grandmother's words. She knew that although her grandmother didn't say it, she loved her very much in her heart.
She hugged her grandmother gently, rested her head on her shoulder, and said softly: "Grandma, thank you, I am really happy."
The old lady patted her on the back and said lovingly, "Silly child, why bother saying thank you? We are all family. As long as you take good care of your pregnancy and give birth to a healthy baby, that will be the greatest thank you to me."
Xu Xiaoxiao.....
