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

Chapter 1520 Old acquaintance

The man frowned slightly, a trace of grievance and uneasiness on his face. He spoke cautiously, his voice carrying a hint of flattery and testing: "Lingling, your...niece doesn't seem to like me very much."

Those eyes, like a wounded deer, looked at Jiang Ling pitifully, as if seeking comfort and shelter.

Jiang Ling gently patted the man's hand, a gentle smile playing on her lips, trying to soothe him. "It's okay, Weiwei is just that kind of person. She may appear strong on the surface, but she's actually very soft-hearted. Once she gets used to you, she'll accept you. Don't take it personally. It's normal for a child to not be able to accept a new face for a while."

Nan Weiwei walked out of her aunt's house slowly, each step seemed extremely heavy, as if the weight of the whole world was pressing on her shoulders.

Her steps were a little unsteady and she seemed like she might fall at any moment.

Finally, she arrived in front of her car, stopped, stared at the familiar car, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart.

She slowly opened the car door and got into the driver's seat, but instead of starting the engine immediately as usual, she sat there quietly, motionless.

The world outside the car window was still noisy, pedestrians hurried past, and cars flowed continuously, but all this had nothing to do with Nan Weiwei.

Her eyes were fixed blankly on the front, and her whole body seemed to be shrouded in an invisible haze, making it impossible to glimpse into her true thoughts.

The air in the car was a little stuffy. She slowly rolled down the window, letting the slightly chilly winter air rush in, but this did not dispel the boredom in her heart at all.

Her hands rested weakly on the steering wheel, her head slightly lowered, and her eyes looked ahead with a somewhat empty look.

For some unknown reason, she felt an indescribable disgust and aversion towards her aunt's intimate behavior with the strange man, and even the fact that she brought him home.

It felt like the thing you cherished most was suddenly broken into by a person of unknown origin, shattering the original peace and beauty.

She knew in her heart that she shouldn't be so selfish. Her aunt had lived alone for so many years and she had the right to pursue her own happiness.

What she had just said at her aunt's house was actually a huge concession.

After all, she had always been reserved about her aunt's relationship with that man.

However, after careful consideration, she finally decided to let go of her prejudice. As long as the man was sincere to her aunt, her aunt was not deceived, and the two of them truly loved each other, and if they had plans to get married, she would no longer object to her aunt and the man's relationship.

But even so, she still felt like there was a huge stone blocking her heart, so heavy that it made her breathless.

"Am I being too petty?" Nan Weiwei silently asked herself. But the feeling of disgust was real and could not be ignored.

She was worried that her aunt would be deceived by this man and that her aunt would be hurt. After all, in this complex society, people's hearts are unpredictable.

Time passed minute by minute, and Nan Weiwei still sat quietly in the car, her thoughts like a tangled mess, unable to be cut or sorted out.

The world outside the car was still noisy, but her heart was caught in a fierce self-struggle.

She doesn't know how to face her aunt's new feelings, nor does she know how to adjust her own mentality. This inner struggle about love and boundaries continues...

After thinking it over again and again in her mind, Nan Weiwei finally made up her mind - to ask her aunt and that man to come out in a few days and have a good talk.

She felt that she had the responsibility and obligation to help her aunt check and see whether the man who suddenly broke into her aunt's life was reliable.

After all, her aunt is an extremely important person in the world to her, and she cannot bear to watch her aunt fall into possible danger or misfortune.

Being alone, she felt so depressed that she had no way to vent it, and it was not easy to tell Nan Weiwei about this.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to go to the Fu family to find Xu Xiaoxiao. Perhaps, talking to Xu Xiaoxiao, the depression in her heart could be relieved a little.

The car slowly drove to the front of the Fu family villa. Nan Weiwei got out of the car, looked up at the familiar and somewhat luxurious building, took a deep breath, and walked in.

As soon as I walked in, Mother Hou came to greet me. Her face was filled with a kind smile, which was like the warm sunshine in winter, making me feel warm.

"Weiwei, are you looking for Xiaoxiao? She's in the bedroom. Go up and take a look. She's been sleepy lately, so she's probably asleep already."

As Mother Hou spoke, she enthusiastically took Nan Weiwei's hand. The warmth conveyed by her hands seemed to carry the warmth of home.

Nan Weiwei returned a grateful smile and said, "Mother Hou, thank you for your help. I'll go up and see her."

"It's not a trouble, it's not a trouble. Go ahead." Mother Hou gently patted the back of Nan Weiwei's hand, her eyes full of concern.

Nan Weiwei walked up the stairs slowly, with a little expectation in every step.

She imagined the scene after meeting Xu Xiaoxiao. Maybe she could complain to her about her aunt's affairs, and get some advice and comfort from her.

Arriving at the door of Xu Xiaoxiao's room, Nan Weiwei knocked gently, but there was no response from inside.

She hesitated for a moment, then gently pushed the door open. The room was a little dim, the curtains drawn tightly, and only a small night light by the bedside emitted a soft glow.

Xu Xiaoxiao was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly. Her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on her cheeks, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, as if she was having a sweet dream.

Nan Weiwei couldn't bear to wake her up, so she walked gently to the bed and sat down on the chair next to it.

She looked at Xu Xiaoxiao quietly, and her thoughts drifted back to her aunt's affairs.

The man's appearance kept appearing in her mind. His every move and every word made her feel very suspicious.

But her aunt seemed to have a good impression of him, which made her helpless and worried.

Just as Nan Weiwei was lost in thought, Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly turned over and mumbled something. Nan Weiwei came back to her senses and asked softly, "Xiaoxiao, are you awake?"

Xu Xiaoxiao slowly opened her eyes and saw Nan Weiwei sitting beside the bed. She was stunned at first, then smiled in surprise: "Weiwei, why are you here? When did you come?"

Nan Wei smiled and said, "I just got here not long ago. Seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't have the heart to wake you up."

Xu Xiaoxiao sat up, rubbed her eyes, and said, "Oh, I slept so soundly. You must have something to ask me, tell me quickly."

Nan Weiwei looked at Xu Xiaoxiao's sincere eyes, and the annoyance in her heart suddenly surged out.

Nan Weiwei had a bitter face, his brows were tightly furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川". His originally bright eyes were now covered with a layer of haze, as if the light was blocked by a thick layer of dark clouds.

She spread her hands weakly, feeling helpless and depressed, and said slowly:

"Xiaoxiao, our aunt..."

"Aunt, what's wrong with her?" Xu Xiaoxiao didn't have a good impression of this aunt, just like Nan Weiwei didn't like her grandmother.

"Today I was bored at home with nothing to do, and suddenly I remembered that I hadn't visited my aunt for a long time. So, I had an idea and decided to take advantage of this free day to visit her."

"In order to let my aunt feel my sincerity and concern, I woke up early, washed up in a hurry, and started to prepare breakfast for her."

"I knew my aunt's favorite buns were from that old-fashioned shop, so I went there without hesitation to buy them. In the shop, I carefully selected each bun to ensure they were the freshest and most delicious."

"In addition to breakfast, I also prepared a thoughtful gift for my aunt. I carefully selected this gift, and I hope it can express my deep respect and gratitude for my aunt."

"On the way to my aunt's house, I felt a little uneasy. As I walked, I wondered if my aunt would nag me because I hadn't visited her in so long. After all, I have my own man now. Maybe she would think that I had a new life and had forgotten her, a close friend."

"However, I quickly put those concerns aside. I'm sure my aunt will understand me; she's always been so considerate and understanding. Besides, I got up so early today and prepared her favorite breakfast and gifts; she's sure to be very happy. The whole way there, I imagined how happy and chatty my aunt would be when she saw me, and I was really looking forward to it."

Having said that, Nan Weiwei sighed softly, his eyes full of disappointment, and continued:

"Guess what happened? When I happily opened the door, she had no time to nag me anymore. Even if I never went back, she probably wouldn't mind. And guess what I saw? There was a man in the house! His shoes were carelessly placed at the door. My heart skipped a beat, like someone poured a bucket of cold water over my head. I was completely stunned."

Nan Weiwei lowered her head slightly, her fingers twisting the corners of her clothes unconsciously, her voice carrying a hint of grievance: "I suppressed my shock and slowly walked into the house, only to see that man and my aunt together. I was so depressed at the time, as if a huge rock was pressing down on me and I couldn't breathe. My aunt has always been single, and I've never heard her mention such a person. How can I not be worried when he suddenly appeared? I'm really afraid that she's been cheated. After all, there are so many bad people in society nowadays. What if this man has bad intentions, what will my aunt do?"

Nan raised her head slightly, her eyes full of help. "Xiaoxiao, what should I do now? I'm in a mess. I don't want to interfere with my aunt's happiness, but I'm also worried about her. I really don't know how to face this man who suddenly appeared, nor do I know how to tell my aunt what I'm thinking."

After hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened like two black grapes, full of astonishment and confusion.

Her mouth opened slightly, as if she were under a spell. It took her a while to come back to her senses. Her voice was hesitant and uncertain: "You mean... your... aunt has a boyfriend, and maybe they're planning to get married?"

Nan Weiwei nodded gently, and the nod was filled with a hint of helplessness and heaviness, as if she was carrying a heavy burden. Her eyes revealed deep worry, as if the worry had turned into substance and spread in the air.

Seeing Nan Weiwei nod, Xu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, tilted her head and thought for a while, then slowly said: "Actually... We can't say anything about this kind of thing. Look, your aunt is not young anymore, she has her own ideas and judgments. Love is like flowing water, you can't stop it. If she really meets the right person and wants to get married, we, as the younger generation, can only bless her, right?"

As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, trying to make her point clearer.

"Think about it, if we forcefully interfere, it might make her feel uncomfortable. What if she was originally hesitant about this relationship, and we mess it up, she might make up her mind. If something goes wrong then, won't we regret it even more?"

Xu Xiaoxiao paused, observing Nan Weiwei's expression. Seeing that she was still frowning, she continued, "Besides, we can't judge a person by appearance. Although that man may not look pleasant, he might have a heart of gold. Feelings are something that needs to be tested by time. Isn't it a bit too early for us to jump to conclusions now?"
