Chapter 1401 Completely Leaving Fu Yan
Chapter 1401 Completely Leaving Fu Yan
Fu Yanchen walked over to Xu Xiaoxiao and gently put his arm around her waist, as if he wanted to put all her uneasiness into his broad heart.
"Xiaoxiao, let's go," he said in a low voice, "If there's no hotel, come home with me. I've asked Hou's mother to prepare a room for us."
Xu Xiaoxiao's body trembled slightly, but she calmly turned sideways, cleverly avoiding his touch, with a complicated expression on her face.
"I... don't want to go. The hotel is comfortable."
These few words are spoken lightly, but they seem to conceal a myriad of complicated thoughts.
Seeing this, Fu Yanchen raised his lips to an imperceptible smile. Then he leaned down and whispered softly in her ear. His warm breath brushed across her skin, bringing an imperceptible tremor.
"Xiaoxiao, don't you miss your mother Hou? Her old illness has recurred recently and she is not as healthy as before. Can you bear not to visit her? During the time when you lost your memory, she stayed by your side day and night and took care of you meticulously. Do you really want to forget that kindness completely?"
Xu Xiaoxiao,,,,
And Mrs. Hou, who was cleaning the Fu family villa, suddenly sneezed, "A-choo."
Mother Hou rubbed her nose and said, "She may have caught a cold. Take some medicine. Otherwise, Xiaoxiao might come back and infect her. That would be bad."
“…”
"Xiaoxiao, and Yuxuan, he keeps asking for his mommy every day, don't you miss him? It's like he's a left-behind child."
Xu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly when she heard this, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, which seemed to be anger and helplessness. Finally, she glared at Fu Yanchen fiercely, with a bit of anger in her tone:
"Okay, I'll go back and see them, but I'll leave after I'm done. I don't believe that I can't find a place to stay in such a huge imperial capital."
Seeing this, Nan Yifeng laughed dryly and tried to ease the atmosphere: "Probably not. There are large-scale activities in the capital these days, and foreign tourists are flocking in. It may not be easy to find an empty room. Everyone has booked in advance. We forgot about you..."
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao raised a malicious smile at the corner of her mouth, her eyes flickered: "Is that so, ah... then... if it really doesn't work, I can sleep between the two of you, right?"
Although these words were said jokingly, they also revealed her unwillingness to compromise easily.
Nan Weiwei and Nan Yifeng looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Their eyes showed both admiration for Xu Xiaoxiao's cuteness and a bit of embarrassment at the delicate situation before them.
Fu Yanchen looked at Xu Xiaoxiao quietly, his deep eyes seemed to contain thousands of words. The air around them seemed to freeze at this moment. The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window lattice and sprinkled on them, giving this warm and slightly turbulent picture a layer of golden glow.
Xu Xiaoxiao reacted, "Fu Yanchen, is this you who did this? Did you book all the hotels in the capital?"
Xu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and looked questioning, with doubt and dissatisfaction flashing in her bright eyes.
Fu Yanchen spread his hands innocently, with a slightly bitter smile on his face, "It's really not me. There really is a large-scale event this time, and there are too many tourists from other places. The hotel is really tight."
His eyes were clear and sincere, as if they could wash away all misunderstandings.
Fu Yanchen was secretly pleased with himself. He had indeed secretly issued an order not to allow any hotel to accept Xu Xiaoxiao. Of course, he could not speak openly about his "hard work".
Nan Weiwei had a faint smile on her lips and looked at Nan Xiaoxiao gently, as if every word she said came from her heart with concern and persuasion.
"Xiaoxiao, just listen to your sister and go back with Fu Yanchen. We are worried about you living out alone."
Nan Weiwei said softly, her tone revealing a hint of intimacy and persuasion.
"Think about it, you haven't seen Mama Hou and the others for a long time, they must miss you very much. Go visit grandma by the way, if there is any rift, just tell her. I... I have already recognized grandma a few days ago... And there is also Ah Su, that vicious-mouthed but soft-hearted girl. Although she is always harsh in her words, she actually cares about you very much in her heart."
Nan Weiwei paused for a moment, then continued, "You can go back and stay for a few days, and you can also visit Yuxuan and the others. It would be great if everyone could get together. Besides, I believe Fu Yanchen, he is a sensible person and will never do anything to you, so don't worry, hehe, ,,.
When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, a complicated look flashed across her face.
She knew very well that what Nan Weiwei said made sense, but the stubbornness in her heart made it difficult for her to compromise easily.
She glared at Fu Yanchen, as if she wanted to see through him with her eyes: "You'd better not lie, otherwise, I... I will never come back in my life, and you three grandparents will live!"
Fu Yanchen smiled slightly, with a hint of pampering and helplessness in his smile, "okok"
His eyes were gentle, melting the ice in Xu Xiaoxiao's heart.
The atmosphere around them became subtle and harmonious at this moment. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them through the window, adding a layer of golden glow to this warm and slightly turbulent picture.
Xu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, as if she was making a final decision. Finally, she nodded gently, her eyes flashing with compromise and helplessness: "Okay, I'll go back and take a look. But you have to promise me that you can't restrict my freedom."
Hearing this, Fu Yanchen smiled with relief: "Of course, we just want you to go home and have a look. We will never restrict your freedom. I'm not a bandit."
Xu Xiaoxiao glanced at him, as if to say, "Haven't you ever locked me up?"
Fu Yanchen smiled awkwardly. In the past, he only treated her like this because his possessiveness was too strong.
Now I regret it,,,,
Nan Weiwei and Nan Yifeng also smiled at each other, as if they were bringing a perfect end to this little storm. No matter how many twists and turns they had experienced, home would always be Xu Xiaoxiao's warmest harbor.
Because of the dress incident, grandma felt a little bit resentful and returned to the Fu family early.
Fu Yanchen didn't tell Xu Xiaoxiao either. He knew that although Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to forgive her grandmother, there was actually a barrier in her heart. After all, back then, no one was willing to take care of the two sisters. If it weren't for the Nan family and himself, the lives of the two sisters would not have been good. He also felt sorry for Xu Xiaoxiao.
",,,,,"
When Xu Xiaoxiao and Fu Yanchen stepped into the Fu family's gate, it was already late at night. The moonlight was like water, quietly sprinkling in the quaint courtyard.
When Hou's mother heard the news, she rushed over anxiously. When she saw Xu Xiaoxiao, her eyes suddenly became wet, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice was slightly choked with excitement.
"Xiaoxiao...Oh, child, you are finally back..." Mother Hou's voice was full of emotion and heartache, as if the past four years had left a deep mark in her heart.
She walked quickly to Xu Xiaoxiao, looked at her carefully, and then said distressedly: "How have you been doing outside these four years? How come you have lost so much weight? Didn't you eat well? Look at you, your stomach was not in good condition to begin with, how can you be like this now..."
Mother Hou's words were full of concern and worry. Her hand gently stroked Xu Xiaoxiao's cheek, as if she wanted to feel everything she had experienced over the years.
She looked at Xu Xiaoxiao carefully, her eyes full of concern and heartache.
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxiao felt a warm current in her heart. She gently held Hou's mother's hand and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth:
"Mother Hou, don't we video chat every day? Why are you crying? I'm fine, really. You don't have to worry about me. I'm not a child anymore. I can take care of myself."
Mother Hou was transferred by Fu Yanchen to take care of her when she lost her memory. At that time, she hated Fu Yanchen, but she had a deep affection for Mother Hou.
She gently patted the back of Hou's mother's hand, trying to calm her worried and trembling heart.
Mother Hou's tears were like beads that had broken off the string, and she couldn't stop them.
While wiping her tears, she murmured to herself: "Madam, you know, this video is no match for seeing it with your own eyes. When you are outside, I am always worried, afraid that something might happen to you." Xu Xiaoxiao was even more moved when she heard this.
She gently hugged Mother Hou, her voice soft but firm: "Mother Hou, I know what you mean. I will come back often to visit you in the future, so that you won't have to worry about me anymore."
Fu Yanchen stood aside, watching the scene quietly, with an indescribable warmth welling up in his heart.
The relationship between Xu Xiaoxiao and Hou's mother has long surpassed the distinction between master and servant. They are more like family members who care about and rely on each other.
The night wind was blowing gently, the moonlight was like water. In this quiet night, the courtyard of the Fu family was filled with a faint warmth and harmony.
Mother Hou looked at Xu Xiaoxiao, her eyes slightly red, filled with tears, and her voice trembled a little: "You are alone outside, even if you video chat every day, I am worried about you all the time, for fear that something bad will happen to you. This time when you come back, don't leave, okay?"
Her eyes were full of anticipation, as if she was afraid that if she blinked, Xu Xiaoxiao would disappear from her sight again.
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled gently, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness in her smile.
She did not directly answer Mother Hou's question, but just said softly: "Mother Hou, I... am tired. I want to go to the guest room to rest."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hou's smile froze slightly, and then she laughed dryly twice, trying to cover up her embarrassment: "Hey, the guest room is being renovated these days, and it smells a bit strong. It may not be suitable for you to rest. How about... you and... Mr. stay in the bedroom?"
As she spoke, Mother Hou's voice became lower and lower. She knew that this proposal was a bit abrupt, but her love for Xu Xiaoxiao and her heartache for her husband made her unable to help but say it out loud.
When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, a look of surprise flashed across her face, but she then regained her composure.
She looked at Fu Yanchen, and saw a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, as if he was expecting, but also seemed to be nervous.
Xu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm and firm: "Mother Hou, thank you for your kindness. But I still want to go to the guest room first. If it doesn't work, I'll consider other ways."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the guest room with a bit of determination in her steps.
Mother Hou looked at her back, with a hint of worry and helplessness in her eyes.
Xu Xiaoxiao's knot in her heart cannot be untied overnight. We can only take it slowly and use our sincerity to influence her.
Fu Yanchen stood in place, following Xu Xiaoxiao's figure closely with his eyes, feeling mixed emotions.
Watching Xu Xiaoxiao's resolute back gradually disappearing in the direction of the guest room, Fu Yanchen felt an indescribable impulse in his heart.
He made up his mind and followed her involuntarily, catching up with her in a few strides. In front of Xu Xiaoxiao's astonished eyes, he picked her up and carried her sideways, ignoring her struggles, and walked towards his bedroom at a fast pace.
"Fu Yanchen, what are you doing? Put me down!"
There was a hint of panic and shame in Xu Xiaoxiao's voice. She grabbed Fu Yanchen's shoulders tightly with both hands, trying to break free from his arms.
When Mrs. Hou saw this, she was stunned at first, then a meaningful smile appeared on her face.
She seemed to have expected this scene, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.
She shook her head gently, a relieved smile on her lips, turned around and left quietly, leaving them enough space.
Fu Yanchen gently placed Xu Xiaoxiao on his bed, then walked up to her, held her shoulders with his hands, and looked at her gently:
"Guest room? You're dreaming. Xiaoxiao, don't leave when you come back this time, okay? Let the people inside manage your coffee shop. Sister Na is good. She's steady and reliable."
Xu Xiaoxiao's face instantly turned red, with angry light flashing in her eyes. She struggled hard, with a trembling voice: "Fu Yanchen, you... said that you don't want to force me, don't want to embarrass me, you... can't go back on your word! If you do this, I will be angry!"
Fu Yanchen held her shoulders tightly with both hands, his eyes full of pain and reluctance.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, with a hint of pleading in his voice: "Xiaoxiao, I did say that, but... do you know how sad I have been during this period? I miss you every day, and I worry about you every day, for fear that you will leave me again. Xiaoxiao, let's not do this anymore, okay? I don't want to miss you again, I really can't live without you."
His eyes were full of sincerity and affection, as if he wanted to pour all his emotions into this moment.
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at him, a complex emotion welling up in her heart.
"Fu Yanchen, I... let's talk about this later... I came back this time to discuss the issue of grandma and Yuxuan with you... I want to take them back to Lin City."
Fu Yanchen's eyes flashed with complexity, "Xiaoxiao, are you trying to get rid of me completely? Do you want to take them away?"
Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered, and she shook her head guiltily, "No, no, no, no, just take them out to play for a while."
Fu Yanchen,
