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

Chapter 1404 1 Night

"Fu Yanchen, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Xiaoxiao's voice was tinged with doubt. She stood at the door of the room, her eyes fixed on Fu Yanchen, with a look of confusion on her face.

She had just come out of the bathroom and didn't want to stay in bed any longer, so she decided to go for a walk in the yard and get some fresh air.

But I didn't expect that this action would make Fu Yanchen so anxious.

Fu Yanchen's body seemed to be hit by an invisible force and trembled slightly. His originally dazed thoughts were instantly pulled back to reality.

He turned around slowly, his eyes meeting Xu Xiaoxiao's.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze.

A barely perceptible surprise flashed across Fu Yanchen's face, as if he had never expected to meet Xu Xiaoxiao here.

However, this surprise was soon overshadowed by a deeper emotion.

He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, as if the breath had been suppressed for a long time and was finally released.

His eyes revealed an indescribable complex emotion, including surprise, relief, and something else that was hard to grasp.

"Xiaoxiao, I thought you..."

His voice was slightly muffled, as if something was stuck in his throat, making it difficult for him to speak smoothly.

At that moment, his words seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, leaving only a faint breath lingering in the air.

Xu Xiaoxiao keenly noticed his strangeness, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile. That smile seemed to be a teasing to him, but also seemed to contain a hint of imperceptible tenderness.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes fell straight on his face, and asked with a smile: "Why, you didn't think I sneaked away like a cunning fox while you were sleeping?"

Her tone was lighthearted and playful, yet it carried a confidence that was impossible to ignore.

Without waiting for his answer, she continued, "Don't worry, I'm not that heartless. After all, you took care of me the whole night last night. How could I do such a heartless thing?"

As she said this, a hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes. Although it was only fleeting, he still caught it.

There was a hint of teasing and a hint of seriousness in her tone, as if she was telling Fu Yanchen in her own way that she trusted and relied on him.

Hearing this, Fu Yanchen felt a warm current in his heart. He looked at Xu Xiaoxiao, with a gentle light flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to imprint her deeply in his heart.

"Xiaoxiao, you slept for more than just one day. You've been in a coma for three days, and your high fever won't go away. I was scared to death."

Xu Xiaoxiao,,, "Three days?"

Fu Yanchen nodded. "Your fever had gone down that night, but it came back the next day. The family doctor couldn't do anything about it, so I called the doctor from the hospital and found out that you had a viral infection."

Xu Xiaoxiao lowered her head, "Fu Yanchen, thank you, but don't think I'm so heartless. I can see your efforts."

"Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I was too nervous."

He whispered, with a hint of apology and self-blame in his voice, "You had such a high fever last night, I was really worried about you."

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled gently, "It's okay, look, I'm fine now, right?"

She comforted him, "Thank you, Yan Chen, thank you for always being by my side."

.........

In the afternoon, the sun had begun to set, and the sunlight shone through the window into the room at a soft angle, bringing a hint of warmth to the entire room.

The doctor arrived on time as agreed. He walked into the room quietly, afraid to disturb Xu Xiaoxiao who was resting.

The doctor walked to the bedside, carefully observed Xu Xiaoxiao's condition, then gently took her hand and skillfully gave her an injection.

After completing the acupuncture, the doctor took out some medicines from the medicine box and told Fu Yanchen in detail how to use and what to pay attention to when using these medicines.

Fu Yanchen listened carefully to the doctor's instructions and nodded from time to time to show that he understood.

After everything was arranged, the doctor packed up and prepared to leave.

Fu Yanchen saw the doctor to the door and thanked him for coming and his professional treatment.

The doctor smiled and said that this was his duty, then turned and left.

Fu Yanchen returned to the room and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao lying on the bed. Her face was still a little pale and she looked very weak.

Fu Yanchen's heart was filled with worry and reluctance. He wanted to stay and take care of her, but the company suddenly called and said that there was an urgent matter that needed his immediate attention.

Fu Yanchen sighed helplessly. He knew that the company's matters could not be delayed, but he was really worried about Xu Xiaoxiao.

He walked to the bed, gently stroked Xu Xiaoxiao's hair, and whispered: "Xiaoxiao, I have to go to the company to deal with some things. You have a good rest, and I will be back as soon as possible."

Xu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes slightly, looked at Fu Yanchen, smiled weakly, and said, "I know, go ahead, don't worry about me."

Fu Yanchen nodded. He poured a glass of water for Xu Xiaoxiao and placed it on the bedside table before turning around and leaving the room.

The moment he walked out, he couldn't help but look back at Xu Xiaoxiao again, silently praying in his heart that she would get better soon.

"No, I really can't go. I'm really worried about you!"

Fu Yanchen said anxiously, his brows tightly furrowed, as if he had a heavy burden in his heart.

However, Xu Xiaoxiao was extremely resolute. She looked at Fu Yanchen tenderly and said softly, "Don't worry, you can't delay your work. Mother Hou and others are at home to take care of me. I will be fine."

Although her tone was gentle, it revealed a power that was irrefutable.

Fu Yanchen knew Xu Xiaoxiao's character very well and knew that once she made a decision, it would be difficult for her to change her mind.

"Okay, tell me immediately if there is anything." Xu Xiaoxiao nodded.

After Fu Yanchen left, the room fell into silence.

Mother Hou walked into the room slowly. Her footsteps sounded heavy, as if she was carrying a lot of worries.

When her eyes fell on Xu Xiaoxiao, they were filled with complex emotions.

There is a trace of pity, a little helplessness, and a little worry.

Mother Hou sighed softly, and this sigh seemed to contain too many words, but she didn't know where to start. She hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Xiaoxiao, Mother Hou has something to tell you."

Her voice was a little low, with an indescribable heaviness.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Mother Hou and her heart tightened. She could feel that what Mother Hou was going to say next must be very important.

"Well, go ahead." Xu Xiaoxiao nodded. In fact, she... already knew what Hou's mother wanted to say.

Mother Hou took a deep breath and continued, "Xiaoxiao, can you consider coming back and not leaving again? Mr...."

"Xiaoxiao, I say this because I treat you as my own daughter. If you don't like what I hear, please don't mind it."

"Mother Hou, how could I be angry? You took care of me every day before, and I have long regarded you as a relative."

Mother Hou sighed, "Xiaoxiao, you have no idea how miserable Mr.'s life was after you left. He was in prison before, and I don't know how he got through it, but since he returned to the Fu family, I know... he was very sad. Every night was like a long nightmare for him, making it difficult for him to fall asleep. He... often sat alone in front of the window, and his lonely figure looked particularly desolate under the moonlight."

Xu Xiaoxiao,,,,

"Sometimes, he would sit there quietly all night long, as if time had stopped for him. His eyes would gaze into the distance, as if he was looking for something through the endless darkness. However, no matter how hard he tried, the darkness remained as dark as ink, without the slightest change."

"I watched him silently, the pain in my heart flooding over me. I wish I could share some of his pain, even if it was just a little bit. However, I was powerless and could only watch him sink deeper and deeper into the abyss of pain."

When she said this, Mother Hou's voice trembled slightly, and it seemed that an irrepressible sadness surged in her heart.

Her words stopped abruptly, as if something suddenly blocked her throat, which made people feel tense.

After a moment's silence, Mother Hou took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down a little.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just sighed softly and continued, "Besides, he had to muster up his energy to go to the company to deal with so many things the next day. I really can't imagine how he persisted under such tremendous pressure..."

Mother Hou's voice gradually became low, revealing her concern and worry for their boss.

At this point, Hou's mother's eyes were slightly red. She paused and continued, "You've been gone for so long... When he comes home, he occasionally takes a nap on the sofa, but always wakes up soon. I can see that he has always missed you in his heart, and... your little pet, Mr. does not allow anyone to hold him, and he always takes him with him to the company. Later, the puppy got older, and Mr. couldn't bear to see it bumping back and forth, so he put it at home and let me take care of it. But... whenever Mr. comes back, he will hold them in his bedroom. Mr. treats them as his treasures, just because you raised them."

Xu Xiaoxiao listened to what Hou's mother said, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart. Now she understood. She had never thought that her departure would have such a great impact on Fu Yanchen.

She looked at Mother Hou, tears glistening in her eyes, and said softly, "Mother Hou, I understand. Actually, I miss him too..."

Upon hearing this, Mother Hou showed a relieved smile on her face.

She gently patted the back of Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, as if giving her encouragement and comfort.

"That's good, that's good. My greatest wish is that you can reconcile as before."

In the afternoon, Fu Yanchen finished his work and hurried back home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Xu Xiaoxiao sitting by the window. The sunlight shone on her face through the gap in the curtains, adding a bit of gentleness and softness to her.

His eyes fell on her and he looked at her carefully. Noticing that she looked much better, he finally felt relieved and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

"Xiaoxiao," he called softly, with a hint of apology and tenderness in his tone, "I'm sorry for that day, I... didn't mean it. I... didn't expect that your body..."

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao turned her head slightly to look at him, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

She sighed softly and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. We are all adults, and I am not without any responsibility. Mother Hou talked to me a lot today, and I... also understand your feelings, Fu Yanchen..."

"Um, what's wrong?"

"Fu Yanchen, from now on, even if I'm not around, don't torture yourself like this. Sleep well and eat well. Otherwise, you'll ruin yourself at such a young age. I don't want to be a widow, and Yuxuan can't live without a father."

Fu Yanchen felt a warm feeling in his heart as he listened to Xu Xiaoxiao's words.

He held her hand tightly, his eyes sparkling with excitement and joy. "Xiaoxiao, you...you are willing to come back?"

His voice trembled a little, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded, her eyes firm and gentle. "Well, I've figured it out, but, Fu Yanchen, you have to agree to one condition of mine."

She paused and continued, "I won't give up my coffee shop. It has always been my dream. I can remarry you, but I still have to stay in Lin City. Fu Yanchen, I'm not perfunctory with you. What I said is true. I hope you can understand me and support me."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yanchen felt reluctant, but he felt more respect and understanding for Xu Xiaoxiao.

He nodded gently, his eyes full of affection and doting. "Okay, I promise you. I will always support your dream. As long as we can be together, nothing else matters."

He stretched out his hand and gently held her in his arms. His movements were so natural and skillful, as if he had repeated this action thousands of times.

He said nothing, just held her quietly, as if he wanted to integrate her into his body and make her an indispensable part of his life.

His eyes were deep and gentle, falling on her face, as if to penetrate her soul and see through her thoughts.

He knew her too well. Every subtle expression and every change in her eyes could not escape his eyes.

Now he was sure whether Xu Xiaoxiao had lied or not. When she had promised to consider remarrying, he knew she was just making excuses.

He did not expose her, but just waited silently, waiting for her real decision.

And now, when he looked into her eyes again, her eyes were bright, and he knew that this time, his beloved little girl, she did not lie to him.

Her eyes were so firm and sincere, as if telling him that she had made her decision and she was willing to return to him.

A warm current surged in his heart, as if the winter sunshine was shining on his heart, making him warm and comfortable.

He hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to keep this warmth in his arms forever.

She snuggled in his arms, feeling his strong heartbeat and warm embrace.

"So, when will you go back?"
