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

Chapter 1517 I Don’t Peek

Fu Yanchen...what does she mean by this? She was shy, or was she thinking of Mo Jinghan?

Mo Jinghan, this bastard with no bottom line, actually had his eyes on Xiaoxiao.

.....

On the other side of the bathroom, Xu Xiaoxiao was carefully taking off her clothes with her back to the bathroom door.

Her movements were very gentle, as if she was afraid of disturbing this quiet and ambiguous space.

Her fingers gently unbuttoned her clothes, and each button she unbuttoned was accompanied by a hint of nervousness and shyness in her heart.

Just as she took off her top, revealing her shoulders as white as mutton fat jade and her collarbone as delicate as a work of art, suddenly, a slight "creaking" sound was heard, like a flash of lightning that broke the silence, shattering the originally quiet atmosphere.

Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of her throat, and her hands tried to pull up her shirt again as quickly as if she had been electrocuted.

However, it was too late. The bathroom door was pushed open suddenly, and the sound echoed in the small space, sounding particularly harsh.

Xu Xiaoxiao's face was full of astonishment, her eyes wide open, like a frightened deer.

Her body trembled involuntarily, and her hands quickly raised up as if by reflex, tightly protecting her chest, as if trying to prevent something terrible from happening.

At the same time, her voice became a little sharp due to extreme nervousness, as if her throat was tightly strangled by an invisible force.

"Fu...Fu Yanchen, what are you doing?"

The voice echoed in the air, carrying a hint of fear and disbelief, making people worry for her.

Her cheeks turned red instantly, like the burning sunset in the sky, her eyes were full of panic and shyness, and her heart was beating wildly in her chest, as if it was about to burst through her chest.

Fu Yanchen was also stunned by this sudden scene. His eyes instantly changed from lazy to a little helpless. Looking at the panicked girl in front of him, his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

The water droplets were still rolling on his body, sparkling with crystal light under the light, forming a sharp contrast with Xu Xiaoxiao's rosy cheeks.

The atmosphere in the entire bathroom became extremely subtle, as if time had stopped at this moment.

The blush on Xu Xiaoxiao's ears still lingered, and she avoided Fu Yanchen's gaze, not daring to meet his.

Fu Yanchen coughed lightly, trying to break the suffocating silence, his voice carrying a barely perceptible panic: "Um... let me check if the anti-slip mat is in place. The doctor said the bathroom floor is slippery, so we have to ensure safety."

"Yeah, I pressed it, it's okay."

"that,,,"

"Anything else?"

"Well, the doctor specifically reminded me that pregnant women have special physical conditions and must open the ventilation window when bathing to ensure smooth air circulation."

"it is good."

"If the air is not circulating, the oxygen content in the bathroom will gradually decrease, and pregnant women are prone to hypoxia, which is very harmful to the health of both the mother and the fetus. In order to ensure the safety and comfort of pregnant women, you must not ignore this when taking a bath."

His fingers tapped unconsciously on the door frame, as if this could relieve the tension in his heart.

His eyes unconsciously glanced at the wet floor in the bathroom, then quickly looked away, as if he was afraid of seeing something he shouldn't see.

Xu Xiaoxiao stood in the bathroom, her hands still tightly clasped against her chest. The blush on her face not only did not fade, but became even more beautiful, like a peach blossom blooming in spring.

When she heard Fu Yanchen's words, she frowned slightly, her eyes full of confusion and vigilance, and she muttered in her heart: "What the hell is Fu Yanchen doing?"

"understood."

Seeing that Xu Xiaoxiao did not respond, Fu Yanchen secretly looked up at her again. Seeing that she was still on guard, he felt a sense of loss.

He clenched his teeth tightly, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and even a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. Finally, as if he had made a major decision, he said with difficulty: "How about... Xiaoxiao, leave the door... open like this. I... I swear... I won't peek."

His voice was trembling, as if even he himself was a little uncertain about this decision.

However, once the words are out, they can never be taken back, just like spilled water.

Xu Xiaoxiao,,,,,

He could only bite the bullet and continue, "Really, I promise I won't peek. I just... I just want you to know that I'm an honest person."

After saying these words, his heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, her eyes widened even more, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

She looked at Fu Yanchen's embarrassed yet sincere expression, and her doubts grew stronger: "What's wrong with Fu Yanchen again? He's usually so smart, why did he suddenly become so strange?"

After Fu Yanchen finished speaking, as if he was afraid that Xu Xiaoxiao would refuse, or as if he was trying to avoid her scrutinizing gaze, he quickly turned around and lay on the floor outside the bathroom, his back facing the bathroom, muttering, "I really won't peek, don't worry."

His body was a little stiff, and his hands were clenched into fists, as if he was trying hard to restrain some impulse.

Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips slightly, the blush on her cheeks had not completely disappeared, like a lingering sunset glow on the horizon.

She still had her hands on her chest, her eyes filled with shyness and anxiety. Her voice was soft but undeniably firm: "I understand. Can you... leave now? I need to take a shower."

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from her tense nerves, with a barely perceptible tremor.

Fu Yanchen nodded when he heard this. His movements were a little hasty and he almost bumped into the cabinet next to him when he turned around. His steps were also a little messy as he walked towards the bed.

The back view reveals a sense of embarrassment as if fleeing in a panic, but also a bit of cute clumsiness.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at his departing back until he actually lay down on the bed and pulled the quilt over half of his face, leaving only a pair of eyes that secretly glanced over at her. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.

That tone seemed to be a signal that her tense nerves had finally relaxed. She felt as if all her strength had been drained away and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Her heart was still beating violently in her chest, and the "thump, thump, thump" sound was particularly clear in the quiet bathroom, like a tense drum song.

She slowly turned around and faced the still open bathroom door, her eyes full of helplessness and discomfort.

She really wasn't used to taking a shower with the door open. Even though Fu Yanchen had vowed not to peek, the door was like an invisible shackle that made her feel uneasy all the time.

Every ray of light coming in from the door felt like countless pairs of eyes peeping at her, making her feel uncomfortable.

Her fingers unconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes, her brows knitted tightly together, and she muttered softly, "What's going on..."

Seeing that Fu Yanchen really did as he promised, with his back to her, staring intently at a certain point on the bed, with no sign of turning back, Xu Xiaoxiao's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settled down a little.

But even so, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart, like a group of little ants crawling here and there on her body, making her feel itchy all over.

She turned slightly to the side, her eyes fixed on Fu Yanchen's back, as if she could immediately notice any unusual movement from him.

After confirming that he was not paying attention to her, she slowly stretched out a hand like a sneaky little mouse.

The hand was trembling slightly due to nervousness, and its fingers lightly touched the edge of the bathroom door, which felt cold, just like her uneasy mood at the moment.

She took a deep breath, as if to muster up her courage, and then slowly and carefully pushed the door.

The door rubbed against the door frame, making a slight creaking sound, which was particularly clear in this quiet room. Each creaking sound seemed to hit her heart, making her worry that she would alarm Fu Yanchen.

As the door moved, the light outside was blocked little by little, and the light in the bathroom gradually dimmed.

Her movements were very slow, as if time was stretched out.

Finally, the door was half closed, leaving only a small gap.

Through the gap, she could see Fu Yanchen's blurry figure outside, like a painting soaked in water, unclear but inexplicably reassuring.

She breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had completed a difficult task, and her whole body relaxed.

But the gap that remained was like a small window connecting to the outside world, making her feel safe and a little curious.

She stood in the bathroom, looking at the gap, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised slightly, revealing a faint, somewhat playful smile.

"Hehe," Xu Xiaoxiao was like a child who had stolen some candy. The corners of her mouth rose uncontrollably, revealing a sly and sweet smile. The laughter overflowed from her slightly opened lips, as brisk as the gurgling stream in the mountains.

With this little joy, she turned and walked under the shower, letting the warm water flow like silk, gently wrapping her body.

The water flowed down her hair, cheeks, and shoulders, carrying the fatigue of the day and the tension just now, and was washed into the sewer.

She closed her eyes, enjoying this moment of relaxation and comfort, as if the whole world was left with only the warm water and herself.

When she finished cleaning up everything and tiptoed out of the bathroom, a faint tranquility had already filled the bedroom.

Fu Yanchen lightly pressed the switch with his finger. With a soft "click" sound, darkness instantly surged in like a tide, enveloping the entire room.

For many people, darkness is the source of the unknown and fear, but at this moment, the darkness is like a gentle mother, patting them gently and urging them into sweet dreams.

Xu Xiaoxiao slowly walked to the bed and slowly got into the quilt like a lazy kitten.

She was so full after eating hotpot today that the delicious food took up residence in her stomach, making her so full that she even walked a little slowly.

At this moment, the drowsiness brought by the feeling of fullness came over her like a tide, wave after wave.

She couldn't help but yawning loudly. The yawn was particularly loud in the silent room, as if it was a signal announcing that she was about to fall asleep.

Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, as if they were sucked by two invisible magnets and she couldn't open them.

After a while, her breathing became even and deep, and she fell into a sweet dream with a satisfied smile on her face, as if she was still savoring the delicious hot pot in her dream.

Fu Yanchen lay beside her, listening to her steady breathing, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly.

The moonlight outside the window is like a layer of gauze, gently falling on the floor of the room, adding a bit of tranquility and gentleness to the entire space.

Fu Yanchen turned his head slightly and his eyes fell on Xu Xiaoxiao who was sleeping soundly beside him. His eyes were full of concern and doting.

Recalling the scene when Anya mentioned Mo Jinghan during the day, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

Anya's seemingly casual words at that time were like a small stone thrown into the calm lake in his heart, causing ripples.

He was afraid that the little girl would take those words to heart and become unhappy because of Mo Jinghan's affairs.

After all, Xu Xiaoxiao is like a shining star in his heart, and he hopes that her world will always be full of sunshine without any haze.

After Anya mentioned that incident, he had been secretly observing Xu Xiaoxiao's reaction.

Although she still looked smiling on the surface, Fu Yanchen knew that this little girl sometimes liked to hide her thoughts so that others wouldn't notice easily.

So, he was nervous all day, like a guard guarding a treasure, afraid that any accident would hurt her.

At this moment, looking at Xu Xiaoxiao's carefree sleeping posture, her little face was rosy like a ripe apple, her long eyelashes were trembling slightly like a small fan, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she was having a sweet dream.

Fu Yanchen couldn't help but laugh softly, and that laugh was full of relief and satisfaction.

He thought to himself, "It seems that Anya's mention of Mo Jinghan during the day really had no effect on this little girl. That's good."

He seemed to be talking to himself, or to the quiet night.

He was also worried that Xu Xiaoxiao would be unhappy and hide in a corner alone, feeling sad. Now, seeing her sleeping so soundly and carefree, he knew that he was being too suspicious.

His hand unconsciously stroked Xu Xiaoxiao's hair gently. The soft touch from his fingertips made his heart soften as well.

Under this gentle moonlight, in this quiet night, he secretly vowed that he would protect her more carefully in the future, not let her get hurt, and make sure her smile would always be as bright as it is now.
