Chapter 1351 No One's Child
Chapter 1351 No One's Child
Xu Xiaoxiao was silent for a while, with a look of gratitude and apology in her eyes, and she said softly: "Grandma, thank you for your kindness, but your feet are inconvenient, so don't teach me to cook. I can learn slowly with the nanny in the future. Come, eat, and after you finish, I'll run the water for you to take a bath."
The old lady was slightly stunned when she heard this, then she lowered her head and continued eating.
After some tidying up, Xu Xiaoxiao finally took care of the old lady and helped her to bed. Someone had already cleaned up the guest room.
Seeing her grandmother fall asleep, she breathed a sigh of relief, as if all the fatigue in her body had dissipated with this breath.
After taking a short rest, Xu Xiaoxiao picked up the garbage bag beside her and prepared to throw it away.
When she walked to the gate of the community, her feet suddenly seemed to be nailed down and she couldn't move forward even a single step.
Her eyes fell directly on a black car not far away. The car was parked quietly on the side of the road with its windows closed, revealing a mysterious and depressing atmosphere.
Xu Xiaoxiao's heartbeat involuntarily quickened. She widened her eyes, trying to see the license plate number clearly.
However, the distance was quite far and she could only vaguely see part of the license plate.
"Is that Fu Yanchen's car?"
Xu Xiaoxiao murmured to herself, with an indescribable complex emotion surging in her heart.
Why did he come here? Was it because she hung up his phone in a hurry while cooking just now, which made him worried, so he came to check on her?
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. Would Fu Yanchen scold him again? This... damn feeling of oppression. Fu Yanchen in the car happened to see Xu Xiaoxiao.
He quickly opened the door, got out and pointed to the passenger seat, his tone firm and unquestionable: "Get in."
Xu Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned, then sat on it obediently.
She looked at Fu Yanchen anxiously and explained, "Um... just now, I didn't mean it. I was really busy..."
Fu Yanchen gently interrupted her, his eyes revealing a hint of understanding and tenderness: "I know, you don't have to explain. I'm just worried about you, so I came to see you. You look tired and need to rest."
When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, a warm feeling surged in her heart, as gentle and warm as a spring breeze on her face.
She stared at Fu Yanchen with a look of disbelief in her eyes, and asked softly, "You... don't suspect me of anything? Don't you suspect that... there is another man in the room?"
Fu Yanchen smiled slightly, and his smile was as warm as the spring sun, making people feel extremely comfortable.
He slowly started the car, and the roar of the engine echoed in the silent air, as if it was the voice in his heart responding to Xu Xiaoxiao's question.
"You...wouldn't..."
Fu Yanchen's voice was low and gentle, with a reassuring power, "I know you, Xiaoxiao. I know what kind of person you are, so I won't doubt you easily. Moreover, even if there is something wrong, I believe you will tell me honestly."
His words were like a gurgling stream, flowing into Xu Xiaoxiao's heart and nourishing her dry heart.
At this moment, Xu Xiao was like a flower shivering in the cold wind, in urgent need of care and protection from others.
And Fu Yanchen, like the warm sunshine, is willing to use his light to warm her and protect her.
As the car slowly drove away from the community, Xu Xiaoxiao's mood gradually calmed down.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Fu Yanchen slowly parked the car by the roadside, opened the sunroof, letting the cool night breeze gently blow through the car, then lit a cigarette, looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with deep eyes, waiting for her answer.
He would not push Xu Xiaoxiao. He pushed her too hard before and almost lost her. He... would not make such a low-level mistake again.
Xu Xiaoxiao lowered her head slightly, opened her red lips and let out a sigh. The sound seemed to carry endless sorrow and helplessness.
She told Fu Yanchen everything about the old lady, and every word revealed her inner fatigue and powerlessness.
Fu Yanchen sat there quietly, not saying a word, just listening silently.
His brows were slightly furrowed, showing his concern and thought about the matter.
When Xu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he did not respond immediately, but fell into a brief silence.
In this moment of silence, Fu Yanchen's thoughts seemed to drift back to a certain moment in the past.
His eyes became a little blurry, as if he was recalling past events that had long been forgotten.
Those memories might be related to the old lady, or they might be some fragments of his own life, and at this moment they were all intertwined in his mind.
After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth: "Xiaoxiao, if I... lie to you... you won't be angry, right?"
Xu Xiaoxiao, "What do you mean?"
"Actually, I knew all this before. Your grandmother didn't do anything wrong. She just cared too much about your uncle, which is why she turned against your father and chose to leave with your uncle. She might have thought that your father would be the future king, so nothing would happen to him. But, she didn't expect that you would be controlled by the princess and no one would take care of you."
"I originally wanted to take you sisters away directly, but unfortunately, the Fu family was in a serious internal conflict at that time. Bringing you back would be more dangerous for you. The same is true for the Du family. Later, your aunt had no choice but to entrust you to her best friend. She treated you very well, so I felt relieved. But I didn't expect that the princess would still not let you go, so I took you to her side."
Xu Xiaoxiao remained silent.
Fu Yanchen knew that she didn't want to talk about the past, "Xiaoxiao, then, what are you going to do now? You have no obligation to take care of her, you can refuse. If, you want, I can help you."
Xu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, with a hint of annoyance in her eyes: "What else can I do? She is my grandmother, I can't just ignore her. Although my current situation is a little difficult, I will try my best. I believe that as long as I work hard, I will be able to take good care of her."
Fu Yanchen looked at her, with a hint of admiration and heartache in his eyes.
He patted Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulder gently, his voice low and firm: "Xiaoxiao, don't carry it alone. I'm here, I won't let you be alone and helpless. We can work together to solve the old lady's problem."
Xu Xiaoxiao looked up at Fu Yanchen, her eyes gleaming with gratitude.
She knew that at this critical moment, with Fu Yanchen by her side, she would no longer be alone. She nodded gently, her voice choking with sobs: "Thank you, Fu Yanchen. It's just that... I don't want to trouble you with everything."
