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

Chapter 1574 Taking advantage of the opportunity

Xu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, a hint of reproach in her eyes, and pouted as she said, "No, Fu Yanchen, do all men have to be so petty? Just for a little bit of face, you have to wait for others to bow their heads first, you have to keep your grievances bottled up, and you won't take the initiative to speak up."

Fu Yanchen nodded firmly, a slightly teasing smile on his lips, and said seriously, "Anyway, that's probably how it is. Men, sometimes they need to be coaxed. Don't be fooled by their calm and collected demeanor, even if the sky falls down, they can act like nothing happened. They're actually quite petty inside."

Xu Xiaoxiao,,,,

"Actually, men are like children hiding candy; they secretly hide their little thoughts and wait for others to discover them."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes darted around, and a sly smile suddenly appeared on her face. She remained silent for a moment, as if she were pondering something.

Suddenly, an idea popped into her head. Her eyes sparkled, and she grabbed Fu Yanchen's arm with both hands, gently shaking it as she said in a coquettish tone, "Hehe..." Xu Xiaoxiao's laughter seemed to reveal a hint of cunning.

Fu Yanchen had a bad feeling...

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Fu Yanchen, a hint of expectation flashing in her eyes. "Fu Yanchen, um... you don't seem too busy right now." Her tone was slightly questioning, as if she was waiting for his answer.

"There are still a few contracts left... what... are you planning to do with them?"

"Well... can you come back and take a look? You see, like you said, Nan Weiwei and the other person's matter has to be resolved at home. Will you take Weiwei home? After all, it's already very late. As for me, I won't go because I'm pregnant now and it's not very convenient for me to move around."

She gently stroked her belly, as if showing Fu Yanchen her special condition.

Then she murmured softly, "Besides, Weiwei's place is like the distant horizon, quite a distance from here. If she goes back alone, my worries are like a surging tide, hard to calm down."

Xu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, revealing her concern for Weiwei.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yanchen's eyes widened, his face full of surprise. He deliberately made an exaggerated expression and said, "Xu Xiaoxiao, you let your husband take a woman home late at night? Are you worried about anything? Aren't you afraid that I might be captivated by Weiwei's beauty on the way and do something to betray you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao was not angry at all; instead, she smiled even more brightly. She gently patted Fu Yanchen's chest and said confidently, "I don't trust anyone else, but who is Weiwei? She's my sister! We're incredibly close. Besides, would you do anything to betray me? I know your character; you're not the kind of person who would betray you for the sake of beauty."

She spoke with such trust and affection that Fu Yanchen shook his head with a helpless smile, his eyes full of doting affection. His original intention to tease her vanished instantly, and he naturally compromised unconditionally: "You, you trust me too much. If it were someone else, they would probably be worried sick."

“They believe in you,” Xu Xiaoxiao said.

"Alright, I'll go take her. Otherwise, you'll definitely make my life miserable. Is that alright? You're pregnant now, so you need to get some sleep and take good care of yourself. I'll take her back and be right back. I promise it won't take too long, so don't wait for me."

As he spoke, he gently flicked Xu Xiaoxiao's nose, his gesture full of tenderness.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled, her eyes curving into crescent shapes, her smile as radiant as a spring flower in full bloom. She wrapped her arms around Fu Yanchen's neck and said coquettishly, "I knew it, you're the best. With you here, I'm not afraid of anything. Drive carefully on the road, and if Weiwei is in a bad mood, please be understanding and don't hold it against her."

Xu Xiaoxiao's voice was soft and sweet, making Fu Yanchen feel a tingling sensation in his heart.

Fu Yanchen gently patted her back and said tenderly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Just go to sleep and wait for me to come back."

After saying that, he turned around to call Nan Weiwei.

Xu Xiaoxiao stood there, watching his back, a sweet smile always on her lips, until Fu Yanchen's figure disappeared from sight. Only then did she slowly walk into the bedroom to rest.

Fu Yanchen knocked lightly on Nan Weiwei's door a few times, and after receiving permission, he pushed the door open and entered.

Nan Weiwei was sitting on the edge of the bed, her eyes red and her face still bearing traces of tears, clearly having just had a good cry.

He sighed softly, walked to Nan Weiwei's side, and tried to make his tone sound gentle and sincere: "Weiwei, well... I have something to tell you. I'll take you back to Nan Yifeng's side, and you two can sort out the problem."

Nan Weiwei, who had been hanging her head, suddenly raised it, her eyes filled with stubbornness and anger.

She jumped up from the bedside and shouted, "Fu Yanchen... no... I'm not going back! You want me to coax him? No way! Why should I? He's so indifferent about this, why should I go out of my way to please him? Wouldn't that make me look pathetic and spineless? I don't want him to think I'm guilty, like I've done something terribly wrong. Humph!"

Her hands were clenched into fists, and her body trembled slightly with excitement.

Fu Yanchen,,,,

“Fu Yanchen, you be the judge. I just had a meal with a man, and I ate with him because he helped me... How big of a deal is that? You and Lu Jingjing were practically sleeping in the same bed back then, and Xiaoxiao didn't say anything. He actually believes Li Shanshan’s words.”

Fu Yanchen, when you two are arguing, please don't involve innocent bystanders, okay?

Nan Weiwei's emotions became increasingly agitated, and her voice unconsciously rose several decibels, as if she wanted to vent all her dissatisfaction and grievances.

"He... he actually gave me the silent treatment over such a trivial matter because of a few words from someone else!"

Nan Weiwei's brows furrowed tightly, her face filled with disbelief, and her tone carried a hint of anger.

"Hmph!" She snorted coldly, her face full of displeasure. "I'm not going back!"

She secretly made up her mind that she must move back to her parents' house tomorrow.

After all, she wasn't without a place to go. And the thought of going back to that home made her feel a tightness in her chest.

Who knows, if she goes back now, he might think she's disturbing him while he's doing something shady! Thinking of this, her brows furrowed even more, and her dissatisfaction grew stronger.

As she spoke, her eyes reddened again, and tears welled up in them.

"I know you have somewhere to go, but you need to solve your problem first."

Fu Yanchen tried to persuade her earnestly, saying that even with her here, he couldn't kiss, hug, or lift Xu Xiaoxiao up high.

"Weiwei, be good."

Looking at Nan Weiwei's appearance, Fu Yanchen felt a little helpless. He reached out to pat Nan Weiwei's shoulder to comfort her, but Nan Weiwei dodged him.

He said with a wry smile, "Weiwei, I know you feel wronged, but when it comes to relationships, sometimes someone has to give in first. If you really love Nan Yifeng, don't let a moment of anger cause you to miss each other. Besides, this cold war isn't a solution either."

Nan Weiwei turned her head away and said stubbornly, "No way! Why should I always be the one to give in? If he really cared about me, he wouldn't treat me like this."

After saying that, she plopped down on the bed, crossed her arms, and looked like she didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Fu Yanchen,,,,

Fu Yanchen shook his head helplessly, his eyes filled with resignation, as if he were facing an insurmountable mountain, and he was standing at its foot, unable to find a way to climb it, as if he were facing an unsolvable problem.

He sighed inwardly. Why were matters of the heart so complicated? Xu Xiaoxiao wouldn't be so troublesome. Although Xu Xiaoxiao wasn't troublesome, she... could surprise him at any moment, either disappearing or...

He turned and strode quickly into the living room, his steps hurried, as if he were in a rush to find the key to solve the problem.

Inside the bedroom, Xu Xiaoxiao was nestled on the soft sofa, like a lazy kitten, contentedly eating fruit. A lighthearted variety show was playing on the TV, but her mind was clearly elsewhere.

Fu Yanchen walked over to her in a few steps, bent down slightly, and briefly explained Nan Weiwei's situation. His voice was filled with expectation: "Xiaoxiao, well, since Weiwei isn't going back, there's not much I can say. This matter still needs your help. We can only hope that she can persuade Nan Weiwei."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao frowned, looking somewhat troubled. Her once relaxed eyebrows now resembled two tiny caterpillars twisted together.

She gently put down the fruit fork in her hand, the crisp sound of it hitting the plate seeming to reflect her inner turmoil.

She stood up, patted Fu Yanchen on the shoulder as if to comfort him, and then walked into Nan Weiwei's room with him.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw Nan Weiwei still sitting on the edge of the bed, sulking, looking like a small volcano about to erupt.

She crossed her arms over her chest, as if building a defensive wall around herself. Her lips were pouting so high you could hang an oil bottle on them. She looked like a wronged little bun, making people feel both sorry for her and amused.

Xu Xiaoxiao gently walked over and sat down next to Nan Weiwei, her movements as soft as if she were afraid of disturbing an injured little bird.

She held Nan Weiwei's hand, which was somewhat cold, reflecting Nan Weiwei's current state of mind.

She said earnestly, "Weiwei... stop making a fuss. When Nan Yifeng hung up the phone just now, you were more upset than anyone else. Tears were streaming down your face. I saw how heartbroken you were. Your eyes were red, like a little rabbit, and your body was trembling slightly. Unless you don't like Nan Yifeng anymore and really want to have something with Ye Junhao?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Weiwei's eyes widened instantly, like two glass marbles about to explode, and like an enraged kitten, all the fur on her body stood on end.

She abruptly shook off Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, her movements filled with anger and determination, and shouted, "Xiaoxiao, what nonsense are you spouting? Ye Junhao and I are just ordinary friends, having a meal together, what other thoughts could we possibly have! We were simply chatting and sharing interesting things from our lives, and you all made it so complicated! Besides, he helped me, and I was just thanking him. After that, when he asked me out again, I didn't accept."

Xu Xiaoxiao patted Nan Weiwei's back gently but firmly, as if conveying a warm strength to her, and comforted her, "Since it's not true, why bother? You and Nan Yifeng are engaged, which is such a difficult thing. You've been through so much to get to this point. It's not shameful for whoever bows their head first, is it? Just like when you're walking, if you stumble occasionally, the person who gets up first isn't shameful."

"But I'm not willing to accept this..."

"What can you do if you're unwilling? There aren't that many complicated things between a married couple. This isn't a big deal. Besides, if you don't hurry back, aren't you worried that Li Shanshan will cause trouble again?"

"Don't forget, the reason this matter has turned out this way is entirely because of her constant meddling! She's like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment, making it impossible to guard against."

"What if Nan Yifeng actually gets together with her because he's lonely? Won't you feel heartbroken? After all, you have so many beautiful memories together. Are those memories going to be completely destroyed because of such a small thing? Think about it carefully. Is it really worth it?"

When Nan Weiwei heard the name "Li Shanshan," she exploded like a firecracker that had been lit.

She jumped out of bed, the movement so large it almost knocked over the bedside lamp. Hands on her hips, she shouted, "That Nan Yifeng dares to do that! If he really cheats on me, I... I'll castrate him right now!"

She looked as if Li Shanshan were right in front of her, and she could rush up and fight to the death, her eyes burning with furious flames.

Fu Yanchen... women are really not to be trifled with.

Xu Xiaoxiao was almost amused by Nan Weiwei's reaction and couldn't help but smile. However, she still suppressed her laughter and continued to persuade her, "You, you're so stubborn. If I were you, I wouldn't stand for this. I would insist on being affectionate with Nan Yifeng every day and deliberately showing off our love."

"I'm going to drive Li Shanshan crazy, make her anxious but helpless, unable to get rid of me and unable to do anything about me. Weiwei, here's what you do, you go back first, and then you do your own thing. Don't pay any attention to Nan Yifeng, treat him like he doesn't exist, and live your life comfortably."

"Huh... what do you mean? Under the same roof, how could it not exist?"

"Sure, you can eat snacks elegantly in front of him and watch your favorite TV series, but deliberately make him uncomfortable."

"Are you stupid? Think about it, if you don't go back now, he'll be so happy because... he'll be happy to have some peace and quiet. And look at you, you're just getting angry for nothing. It's not worth it. Being sad makes you age faster. And Li Shanshan, are you sure she's not happy? She'd love for you two to break up so she can... take advantage of the situation, right?"
