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

Chapter 1313 Look 1 What's wrong

After saying that, Xu Xiaoxiao turned around, with light steps but a hint of imperceptible determination, and walked through the bustling customer area and went straight to the back kitchen of the coffee shop.

There was another world, with steam curling around and the coffee machine humming softly and regularly, forming a sharp contrast with her troubled mood at the moment.

She tied on an apron and began to busy herself with grinding beans and brewing coffee, as if she wanted to blend all her thoughts into the rich aroma of coffee, making time seem slow and heavy at this moment.

As night falls and the city lights dim, Xu Xiaoxiao drags her tired body back to the little nest that belongs to her alone.

The room was so spacious that it was beyond imagination, as if it could accommodate the entire world, but it was so empty that it made people feel endless loneliness.

Each piece of furniture stood there alone. Although they kept silently holding their own positions, it could not alleviate the loneliness that surged like a tide in her heart.

She dragged her heavy feet to the TV and slowly pressed the power switch.

After the screen lit up, she began to switch channels frequently, absentmindedly.

Those various TV plots, some happy and joyful, some sad and mournful, were like tiny miniatures of various aspects of life, constantly flashing before her eyes.

For her, watching TV series has become a habitual behavior and the only way for her to drive away loneliness and pass the long time.

She immersed herself in stories woven by others, trying to forget the loneliness and helplessness in reality.

But every time an episode ended and the screen went dark, that deep feeling of emptiness would come back, reminding her that no matter how many episodes she watched, a person's life always lacked the colorful life it should have, and was instead shrouded in endless loneliness.

That’s right, how can a life like this day after day be called her ideal life?

She once naively believed that as long as she successfully escaped from Fu Yanchen, she would be able to spread her wings like a bird that had broken free from its shackles, and fly high into the vast and boundless sky. When Fu Yanchen was first imprisoned, she was a little happy because she could finally get out of Fu Yanchen's control.

However, at this point, the cruel reality tells her mercilessly that all this was just an illusory dream.

In fact, not only did she fail to truly obtain the freedom she had longed for, but she seemed to be trapped in another cage - an invisible cage named "loneliness".

Just as she was deeply immersed in the endless sorrow and sadness that she had woven with her own hands, a sudden cell phone ring broke the silence.

That was the notification sound of the video call, so abrupt and harsh, as if a sharp sword instantly pierced through the dull atmosphere surrounding them; but at the same time, this voice was so familiar to her that her heart skipped a beat involuntarily.

She slowly lowered her eyes, and her gaze finally fixed on the phone screen.

At this moment, the name on the caller ID on the phone screen kept flashing and jumping, like a flash of lightning breaking through the night sky, clearly appearing in front of her. And when she looked closely, the name turned out to be - Fu Yanchen!

In an instant, it was as if an invisible force hit her heart, causing her whole body to tremble.

The complex emotions that were difficult to describe in words surged into her heart like a surging tide.

She stared at the name blankly, and countless memories and images related to him flashed through her mind.

The laughter, quarrels, sweetness and pain of the past were now playing before her eyes like a movie.

Her heart, which was already as fragile as thin paper, trembled violently at this moment, as if it would shatter into pieces at any time.

Fu Yanchen, this name carries too many emotions and stories for her. Now, it suddenly appeared in front of her again through this small screen, catching her off guard.

She stared blankly, feeling mixed emotions. Was it surprise, panic, or the longing that had not completely dissipated?

She didn't know, but at this moment, she clearly realized that some emotions cannot be easily severed, just like the entanglement between her and Fu Yanchen, perhaps, has just begun.

An extremely piercing ringtone suddenly rang out. The sound was like an extremely sharp needle, which pierced through the tranquility and peace that Xu Xiaoxiao had created when she was immersed in her own world.

This sudden sound mercilessly dragged her back to reality from her fantasy world.

Xu Xiaoxiao was so frightened that her whole body trembled and her heart began to pound.

She tried to calm herself down and took a few deep breaths, trying to calm her inner panic and anxiety.

Her slightly trembling fingers seemed out of control and could not keep steady.

After a fierce ideological struggle, she finally plucked up the courage, slowly reached out her hand, and gently pressed the answer button of the mobile phone.

The moment she pressed the answer button, Fu Yanchen's handsome and familiar face appeared clearly on the phone screen.

His eyes, as deep as a pool of water, seemed to be able to penetrate layers of fog and reach the depths of people's souls, and he could easily see what was in other people's minds.

In that fleeting glance, just a glance through the small screen, Xu Xiaoxiao felt as if she was completely exposed naked, as if the other party could easily see through every hidden corner of her heart and every tremor in her soul.

In an instant, Xu Xiaoxiao's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand. It suddenly shrank, and an unprecedented panic surged into her heart like a tide.

This sudden emotional impact made her feel a little overwhelmed, and even her breathing became rapid.

Almost instinctively, she waved her hand subconsciously, her movements appearing hasty and flustered.

At that moment, her slender fingers moved gently like a nimble butterfly.

The camera that was originally pointed at her face quickly turned to the side as if it were under a spell.

In an instant, all that was left on the screen was a blurry, unfocused background image.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao, who had been tense, could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Although she knew very well that simply turning the camera away could not completely cover up her embarrassing behavior, it could at least prevent the other party from witnessing her current embarrassment and panic.

Although this approach is not a perfect solution, it can at least allow her to maintain a certain degree of calmness and composure when facing the other party.

In this way, she would not expose her most vulnerable side deep in her heart in front of the other person.

However, Fu Yanchen on the other end of the phone was obviously surprised by the sudden scene before his eyes.

His two handsome sword-like eyebrows slightly frowned, and his originally low and magnetic voice instantly carried a bit of undisguised dissatisfaction and deep doubt: "Xiaoxiao, you... there is someone next to you... it's inconvenient for you to video chat with me?"

"No, no," Xu Xiaoxiao explained hurriedly.

"Oh, no, if there's no camera, why don't you point it at yourself?"

"Well, I...don't look good when I make facial masks." Xu Xiaoxiao made an excuse.

"Xiaoxiao, even if you are wearing a facial mask, what does it matter? It's not like I haven't seen it before. I have seen everything about you. I have always been looking forward to seeing what you look like! You are so kind as to let me see your home."

"As for the decorations in your house, to be honest, I'm not interested at all! They look like they were designed by a child, so childish."

Xu Xiaoxiao,,,,,

"Besides, the decoration style of your house is so different from you as a person! You are the one who makes people feel relaxed and happy!"

As he spoke, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, but if you listened carefully, you could find that it was actually more about his deep longing for her and his genuine concern.

After Xu Xiaoxiao listened to his words silently, her mood became extremely complicated, as if a seasoning bottle had been overturned, and all kinds of tastes, sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy, flooded into her heart.

She knew very well that her behavior of hiding at home and applying a facial mask instead of wanting to see him seemed very childish, and could even be said to be a form of escapism.

However, she really did not have the courage to face him, and she did not know how to face the complicated emotional entanglement in her heart.

She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calmer: "Fu Yanchen, I... I feel a little uncomfortable today and don't want to start the video."

Her lies seemed so weak that even she herself didn't quite believe them.

Fu Yanchen didn't seem to have the intention of exposing her, but just sighed softly: "Xiaoxiao, I know you are avoiding me. But you know what? I really miss you."

His words were full of sincerity and expectation, which made Xu Xiaoxiao's heart ripple again.

She didn't know how to answer, so she just listened quietly, feeling the warmth and strength coming from afar.

Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao still sitting there without any reaction, as if she was completely immersed in her own world and turned a deaf ear to Fu Yanchen's words.

Fu Yanchen's sword-like eyebrows were slightly frowned, forming a shallow "川" character. This subtle movement revealed his inner uneasiness and anxiety.

His deep and magnetic voice was also tinged with an imperceptible urgency at this moment: "Xiaoxiao, turn the camera back quickly, so that I can take a good look at you. I made a video call to see you, why are you giving me a background?"

Xu Xiaoxiao,,,,

"Xiaoxiao, I have been missing you all the time these days. This feeling of missing you is as surging as the tide, really..."

Every word he said was full of affection and sincerity. The sincere emotion was transmitted through the screen, making Xu Xiaoxiao unable to remain indifferent and continue to escape.

In the end, Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to have made up her mind. She bit her lips tightly, and even left a faint white mark under her teeth.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally reached out and slowly pointed the camera at her slightly tired face.

She lowered her head slightly, her eyes fell on the strands of hair that seemed a little messy, then she raised her hands and gently combed them neatly.

The movements were gentle and graceful, as if every strand of hair was given life.

After doing this, she took a deep breath and tried to make herself look more natural and calm. However, even so, a hint of nervousness and shyness could still be detected from her slightly flushed cheeks and flickering eyes.

He muttered quietly, "Humph, I really don't understand you. It's not like I haven't seen it before... What's so good about it? I've been by your side since I was a child, and you're just a little older than before. There's no change in other parts of your body."

Her tone sounded a little bit angry, but if you listened carefully, you would find that there was also a hint of shyness that was hard to conceal.

This complex intertwined emotion made her look even more charming and lovable at this moment.

Fu Yanchen narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on the pretty face in front of him like a torch.

Xu Xiaoxiao's cheeks were slightly red, as attractive as a ripe apple, and her bright eyes were as shining as the twinkling stars in the night sky.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, outlining a satisfied smile, and he whispered, "Why, is it not possible? I will never get tired of looking at you for the rest of my life, you are my wife! Not to mention just taking a look, even if... we sleep together, that is only natural and reasonable!"

After saying this, he deliberately raised his eyebrows, with a hint of teasing and ambiguity in his eyes.

There was a hint of sarcasm in his words, but they also revealed his deep attachment to and inseparable feelings for Xu Xiaoxiao.

After hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao's cheeks turned slightly red and her heart was beating like a little rabbit.

She glared at Fu Yanchen but couldn't utter a word in rebuttal.

But there was a hint of anger and shyness in her eyes, which made Fu Yanchen fascinated.

"Xiaoxiao." Fu Yanchen called again, his voice full of tenderness and affection.

He seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he had a thousand words to say to Xu Xiaoxiao, but didn't know where to start.

"Well, what do you want to say?" Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Fu Yanchen, her heart full of anticipation and confusion.

She didn't know what he wanted to say, but she could feel his deep emotions.

"Xiaoxiao... Well, I'm not very busy these days. I want to come to the city to see you."

Fu Yanchen finally plucked up the courage to speak out what was in his mind, his eyes full of anticipation and desire, as if he was afraid that Xu Xiaoxiao would reject him.

When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

She looked at Fu Yanchen's affectionate eyes,
