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

Chapter 1713 Sneaky

"Have some water." Fu Yanchen handed the cup to Xu Xiaoxiao.

After eating and drinking her fill, Xu Xiaoxiao felt sleepy. "Fu Yanchen, I'm going to take a nap, I'm so sleepy."

"Go to sleep." Fu Yanchen smiled indulgently.

The ward was so quiet that only Xu Xiaoxiao's soft breathing could be heard. Fu Yanchen sat by the bed, quietly watching Xu Xiaoxiao.

She slept soundly, occasionally revealing a slight smile.

Fu Yanchen reached out and gently stroked her cheek, his movements so gentle as if he were afraid of disturbing her dream.

Once he was sure Xu Xiaoxiao was fast asleep, Fu Yanchen quietly got up and slowly walked out of the ward.

The ward door closed gently behind me, shutting out that quiet space.

He took a deep breath, a cold glint in his eyes, and strode toward the parking lot.

Once inside the car, Fu Yanchen took out his phone and dialed Lin Nuo's number.

Lin Nuo's somewhat cynical voice came quickly from the other end of the phone: "President Fu."

Fu Yanchen frowned, his voice icy: "Lin Nuo, find a few people to deal with Xu Xiaoxiao's aunt. That woman keeps challenging my bottom line."

The image of Xu Xiaoxiao's aunt's greedy and arrogant face flashed through his mind, along with the scenes of her repeatedly threatening and extorting him by using Xu Xiaoxiao's poor health as a pretext. Anger burned fiercely in his heart like a flame.

"Mr. Fu, what's wrong? That woman... she's here again?"

Fu Yanchen took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said, "Yes, she used Xiaoxiao's illness to threaten and blackmail me. I tolerated it once or twice for Xiaoxiao's sake. But she went too far, and this time I absolutely cannot let her go."

Lin Nuo said, "Mr. Fu, I understand. Don't worry, I'll take care of this. I'll arrange it right away and make sure that woman knows what's what."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Yanchen leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples.

Since Xu Xiaoxiao became pregnant, he has always been a rational and calm person, and rarely would he impulsively resort to violence to quell violence.

But this time, for Xu Xiaoxiao's sake, he couldn't care less about anything else.

He could no longer watch that woman recklessly hurt Xu Xiaoxiao, nor could he let her use Xu Xiaoxiao's illness to threaten him and force him to compromise.

Time passed slowly, and Fu Yanchen sat in the car, quietly waiting for Lin Nuo's message.

His feelings were complex and tense. He hoped Lin Nuo could handle the matter quickly and punish the woman accordingly, but he also worried that things would escalate and bring him unnecessary trouble. He was afraid...

Finally, the phone screen lit up; it was a message from Lin Nuo.

Fu Yanchen hurriedly picked up his phone, opened the message, which contained only a few words: "Mr. Fu, don't worry, it's all taken care of. She's much more obedient after being given a good beating."

Fu Yanchen looked at the message, a slight sneer appearing on his lips.

It turns out that violence is the most effective way to deal with such scoundrels.

Now, for Xiaoxiao's sake and for the sake of the child in her womb, he is being tolerant and forgiving, hoping to bring peace and tranquility in return.

But now he understands that for some people, tolerance and forbearance will only make them more demanding.

He put away his phone, started the car, and slowly drove towards the hospital.

Back in the ward, looking at Xu Xiaoxiao who was still fast asleep, he felt a deep sense of happiness.

He vowed to protect Xu Xiaoxiao from now on and never let her suffer any harm again.

.......

The hospital at night was filled with a quiet yet slightly oppressive atmosphere.

The dim, soft light cast long shadows on the walls, like a silent sigh of time.

After finishing his work at the company, Fu Yanchen rushed to the hospital. During the day, Hou's mother took care of Xu Xiaoxiao, and now he came to relieve her so that she could go back and rest.

Entering the ward, Fu Yanchen moved quietly, afraid of disturbing the sleeping Xu Xiaoxiao.

Looking at her increasingly protruding belly and her slightly haggard face due to pregnancy discomfort, Fu Yanchen felt a pang of heartache.

During this time, as Xu Xiaoxiao's due date approached, her belly grew bigger and bigger, like a balloon.

Of course, as her due date approached, Xu Xiaoxiao's appetite changed every day, and her emotions became extremely volatile. The doctor said this was prenatal depression.

Fu Yanchen always patiently coaxed her and would massage her feet from time to time in hopes of relieving her discomfort.

After sitting in the ward for a while, Fu Yanchen felt a bit stuffy and wanted to smoke, but he was afraid that smoking in the ward would affect Xu Xiaoxiao's health, so he quietly got up and went to the corridor to get some fresh air.

He leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, slowly exhaled a smoke ring, and his thoughts drifted away.

Xu Xiaoxiao's condition had been a great worry to him lately, and he just wanted to do everything he could to make her more comfortable.

After finishing his cigarette, Fu Yanchen felt much better. He threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and was about to turn around and go back to his ward when, inadvertently, his gaze swept across the end of the corridor and he noticed a blurry figure moving slowly there.

The figure seemed hesitant, pacing back and forth as if deep in thought.

It would take a few more steps forward, but would soon stop again, repeating this process.

Because of the distance, Fu Yanchen was unable to see clearly who the figure was, but could only vaguely feel that it was somewhat familiar.

Fu Yanchen's heart tightened, his first thought being that Xu Xiaoxiao's aunt had come to the hospital again.

He had taught that woman a lesson before, and he was worried that she was still not satisfied and would cause trouble again, affecting Xu Xiaoxiao's mood and condition.

Thinking of this, Fu Yanchen's eyes turned cold, and he took a few steps forward.

This woman... she's asking for it...

As they drew closer, the figure became clearer, and Fu Yanchen realized that it wasn't Xu Xiaoxiao's aunt, but Du Yunwei—Xu Xiaoxiao and Nan Weiwei's mother.

Fu Yanchen was slightly taken aback, and his pace slowed down.

Why would Du Yunwei appear at the hospital at this time, and why would she linger at the end of the corridor, seemingly preoccupied with something?

He hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said softly, "You... what are you doing here? Did you come to see Xiaoxiao?"

Du Yunwei was startled by Fu Yanchen's voice. She turned around, a slightly embarrassed smile on her face, and said, "Oh, it's Yanchen. I... I just happened to be passing by, so I came up to see Xiaoxiao."

Fu Yanchen looked at Du Yunwei and felt that her expression was somewhat unnatural and her eyes were flickering, as if she was hiding something.

A hint of doubt arose in his mind, and he asked, "You really just came to see Xiaoxiao? Is there something else?"

Du Yunwei quickly waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just came to see Xiaoxiao and check on her. Since she's asleep, I won't disturb her." With that, she turned to leave.

Fu Yanchen hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Du Yunwei, saying, "Don't rush off. Xiaoxiao hasn't been feeling well lately, and her emotions are quite unstable. You are her mother; if you could spend more time with her, perhaps she would feel better."

Upon hearing this, Du Yunwei hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "..."
