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

Chapter 1714: Sour Man and Hot Woman

Du Yunwei stood in front of Fu Yanchen, stammering and repeating, "Yanchen... I... I really don't not want to be with Xiaoxiao, but... what identity should I have to be with her? I haven't even acknowledged her as my father yet..."

Fu Yanchen frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

The fact that Du Yunwei faked her death and abandoned Xu Xiaoxiao back then was like a thorn stuck in his heart.

He once thought that Du Yunwei and that foreign prince were truly in love, and he was deeply moved by their love story.

But later... in retrospect, the foreign prince really died a very unjust death.

"Yan Chen... I know... you're not satisfied with me either... but... I..."

Fu Yanchen doesn't want to delve into the rights and wrongs of the past right now; his mind is full of Xu Xiaoxiao, and as long as Xiaoxiao is well, that's all that matters.

"Let's not talk about the past anymore." Fu Yanchen took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone calm. "The most important thing now is Xiaoxiao. I believe that blood ties are greater than anything else. Even if she doesn't acknowledge you as her, she will still like having you by her side."

Du Yun slightly raised her head, her eyes filled with guilt and expectation. Her lips moved, but she still couldn't say anything.

She knew that her actions back then had caused Xu Xiaoxiao great harm, and now she wanted to make amends, but didn't know where to begin.

Fu Yanchen felt a little annoyed seeing Du Yunwei's hesitant expression.

He recalled that during the Spring Festival, Du Yunwei gave him a red envelope in the name of Xu Xiaoxiao's mother's best friend. Although Xu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised at the time, she still accepted it politely and showed a happy smile on her face.

"Didn't you give her a red envelope during the Spring Festival under the name of her mother's best friend?"

"Just go in and see her as her mother's best friend. That way, it won't be too sudden for her, and you can stay by her side."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Du Yunwei's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by worry.

She hesitated and said, "Is this... really okay? What if Xiaoxiao notices something? Won't she be even more upset?"

Fu Yanchen said, "Don't worry too much. Xiaoxiao is a kind child; she won't think the worst."

Du Yunwei was silent for a moment, then finally nodded slowly and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try. Yan Chen, thank you. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."

"Please don't say that. I'm only doing this for Xiaoxiao's sake. Otherwise, I wouldn't forgive you. He... loved you so much. For you, he even gave up the throne. And you... never mind, let's not talk about it anymore. Please come inside with me. Xiaoxiao is still sleeping. Let's be quiet."

The two gently pushed open the door to the ward and entered.

The ward was filled with a faint smell of disinfectant, and the lighting was soft and warm.

Xu Xiaoxiao lay quietly on the hospital bed, sleeping soundly.

Her belly was swollen high, like a small hill, a symbol of life and the softest spot in Fu Yanchen's heart.

Du Yunwei walked to the bedside, sat down gently, and looked tenderly at Xu Xiaoxiao.

She reached out, wanting to gently stroke Xu Xiaoxiao's face, but stopped in mid-air, afraid of disturbing her sweet dream.

Fu Yanchen stood aside, watching this scene, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

After a while, Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to sense something, moved slightly, and slowly opened her eyes.

She saw Du Yunwei sitting on the edge of the bed and was taken aback. "You are...?"

Fu Yanchen hurriedly replied, "Xiaoxiao, do you still remember your mother's best friend who gave you a red envelope during Chinese New Year?"

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded. "I remember. What's wrong? Could she be...?"

Fu Yanchen nodded. "Mm."

Xu Xiaoxiao: "Auntie, what brings you here?"

Du Yun smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, Auntie knows you're pregnant. I'm here on a business trip and thought I'd drop by to see you. How have you been feeling lately? Have you been feeling unwell?"

Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I'm fine, it's just that my stomach sometimes hurts, but it's okay, Yan Chen will massage it for me, and I'll feel better soon."

Du Yunwei looked at Fu Yanchen with gratitude in her eyes and said, "Yanchen, thank you for taking care of Xiaoxiao."

Fu Yanchen smiled and said, "Please don't say that. Xiaoxiao is my wife. It's my duty to take care of her. Xiaoxiao, you should chat with your aunt more. She's your mother's best friend. I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to the office to talk to the doctor about your health."

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead." Xu Xiaoxiao didn't know why she felt a sense of familiarity with this aunt.

“Auntie, please tell me about my mother. I don’t know anything about her and I’ve never felt maternal love.”

A complex expression flashed across Du Yunwei's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said with a smile, "Okay, Auntie will tell you..."

Xu Xiaoxiao leaned against the soft pillows, a faint smile on her face, and said sincerely to Du Yunwei, "Auntie, thank you for telling me about my mother."

Upon hearing this, Du Yunwei felt as if an invisible hand had gently tugged at her heart, sending waves of pain through her.

She suppressed the turmoil in her heart, forced a smile, and said, "Xiaoxiao, no need to thank me. It makes me feel more at ease to do something for you."

As she spoke, Du Yunwei's hand unconsciously reached into her bag and rummaged around inside.

Her movements were somewhat slow, as if the contents of her bag weighed a ton.

Finally, she took out a box of preserved plums from her bag, her hand trembling slightly as she handed it to Xu Xiaoxiao, her voice tinged with trepidation: "Um... your mother especially liked to eat these when she was pregnant with you and your sister. I don't know if you like sour things."

"Xiaoxiao, don't be disgusted. I know that Fu Yanchen will give you whatever you want. The Fu family lacks nothing. I... I don't know what to bring..."

Her eyes were filled with guilt and unease, as if she was worried that her intentions were not good enough.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the preserved plum in front of her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Auntie, how could I dislike it? I like it."

She gently took the preserved plum, opened the box, took one out and put it in her mouth.

The sweet and sour taste spread across her tongue, instantly stimulating her taste buds.

She squinted her eyes contentedly and said, "It's delicious, Auntie. When I was first pregnant, I liked both sour and spicy food, but... now I like spicy food, and of course, I like this too."

When Du Yunwei heard that Xu Xiaoxiao liked it, a weight was finally lifted from her heart.

She looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with loving eyes and said, "Sour for a boy, spicy for a girl, probably a little princess."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao gently stroked her swollen belly and said, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, I'll love them. As long as he's healthy, that's more important than anything else."

Du Yunwei nodded and said, "Yes, health is the most important thing. Xiaoxiao, you must take good care of yourself. If you need anything, just tell Auntie. Although Auntie's abilities are limited, she will do her best."

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Du Yunwei gratefully and said, "Auntie, I feel especially happy to have Yan Chen with me."

Just then, Fu Yanchen walked in carrying some fruit. He saw Xu Xiaoxiao and Du Yunwei chatting and laughing, and felt incredibly warm inside.

He smiled and said, "What are you two chatting about, having so much fun?"

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Yan Chen, my aunt brought me some preserved plums that my mother used to like. She said that sour plums indicate a boy and spicy plums indicate a girl, so I might be carrying a little princess."

Fu Yanchen walked to the bedside, put down the fruit, gently held Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, and said, "Whether it's a little princess or a little prince, they are both our treasures. Xiaoxiao, don't worry, I will definitely make sure you and your child are safe and sound."

Du Yunwei felt extremely gratified seeing Fu Yanchen and Xu Xiaoxiao's loving relationship.

She stood up and said, "Xiaoxiao, Yanchen, you two chat, I'll go back now. I'll come see you again tomorrow."

Xu Xiaoxiao said with some reluctance, "Auntie, please sit a little longer."

Du Yun smiled and said, "No, Xiaoxiao, you should get some rest and take care of yourself. Auntie will come to visit you again when she has time."

Fu Yanchen escorted Du Yunwei to the ward door, "Du Yunwei..."
