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

Chapter 1512 Party

The desire to go out for hotpot in Xu Xiaoxiao's heart was like a burning flame that could not be extinguished.

But when she thought of Fu Yanchen's usual careful and attentive attitude towards her, as well as his cautious attitude towards going out, she couldn't help but wonder: But would Fu Yanchen agree? Would he agree to let her go out and play? After all, she was pregnant now, and in his eyes, she was probably a fragile baby. Even the slightest mishap would be unacceptable.

But the temptation of hot pot was too great, like an invisible little hand scratching her heart.

She gritted her teeth and thought: Never mind, at worst I'll cry and make a fuss, maybe he'll soften his heart and agree.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to have made up her mind. She stood up and slowly returned to the bedroom.

In the bedroom, the light was soft and warm. Xu Xiaoxiao sat on the edge of the bed, staring straight at the door, wondering how to start the conversation.

After a while, Fu Yanchen finished his shower, with a faint scent of shower gel on his body, and walked out of the bathroom while drying his hair.

He immediately saw Xu Xiaoxiao sitting beside the bed, staring at him with an indescribable weirdness in her eyes, as if hiding some little secret.

His heart skipped a beat, as if a small stone was suddenly thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples to appear.

His hands seemed to be under a spell of immobilization, and the movement of wiping his hair quickly suddenly became slow, as if time had frozen at this moment.

His steps became hesitant, as if the ground beneath his feet suddenly became less solid, making him somewhat unsteady.

There was a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in his voice, like a child who had done something wrong and was suddenly at a loss when facing the questioning of an adult.

"Xiaoxiao, what...what's wrong?" He stuttered a little, as if he didn't even know how to express the complex emotions in his heart at the moment.

When his eyes met Xiaoxiao's, his body trembled violently. It was a fear of having his heart seen through.

He quickly looked away, not daring to meet Xiaoxiao's gaze again. At the same time, his voice became even deeper and weaker: "You...don't look at me like that. I'm scared."

It looked like a frightened deer, which made people feel pity for it.

Seeing Fu Yanchen staring at her, Xu Xiaoxiao's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if a little rabbit was running around inside, and after a "click", it began to beat wildly uncontrollably.

The words that I had prepared were stuck when they came to my lips.

She secretly glanced at Fu Yanchen and saw that he was looking at her with a puzzled yet somewhat concerned expression. She took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and said in a voice that was a little cautious and expectant, "Fu... Fu Yanchen, if the weather is good tomorrow, I... want to go out shopping with Weiwei and Xiaomei and eat hot pot. I've been craving this for the past couple of days and have no appetite for anything else."

After she finished speaking, she stared at Fu Yanchen's face, not missing any subtle changes in his expression, and her heart was in turmoil.

At the same time, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva subconsciously, as if the steaming, spicy and fragrant hot pot was already in front of her, and the aroma went straight into her nose, making the glutton in her stomach start to make a fuss.

She could even imagine the satisfying scene of sitting around with friends in a bustling hot pot restaurant, chatting and laughing while putting various ingredients into the pot, and when the ingredients were cooked, picking them up, dipping them in sauce, and putting them into their mouths.

Thinking of this, there was a bit more earnestness in her eyes when she looked at Fu Yanchen.

Fu Yanchen looked at Xu Xiaoxiao's greedy look, her little mouth slightly pouting, her eyes staring straight ahead, as if the imagined hot pot was right in front of her. There was even a suspicious crystal hanging at the corner of her mouth, as if her saliva was about to flow down.

He felt both worried and amused. He was worried about whether eating hotpot would be bad for the pregnant woman's health and the baby. He found it amusing that Xu Xiaoxiao was so greedy for hotpot that she was drooling.

He gently walked over to Xu Xiaoxiao, sat down, and gently put his arm around her shoulders. He said in a doting yet helpless tone, "Hot pot? ...Can pregnant women eat this hot pot?"

"Why can't I eat it?" Xu Xiaoxiao had already reached out to grab a tissue to wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

Fu Yanchen smiled, "Little greedy cat, I've never seen you this greedy before. Wait for me, I'll ask the doctor. If the doctor says it's okay to eat, then you don't have to go out. I'll have the restaurant deliver the ingredients to your home. The environment at home is more comfortable, and you don't have to run around outside and get tired. I'll be relieved too."

After saying that, he took out his cell phone and prepared to contact the doctor who had been doing pregnancy checkups for Xu Xiaoxiao.

When Xu Xiaoxiao heard that hot pot was going to be delivered to her home, her originally bright eyes dimmed a little. She pouted, pulled Fu Yanchen's arm and shook it gently, and said coquettishly, "No, eating at home feels completely different from eating out. It's so lively outside, with Yaoyao, Xiaomei and the others, talking and laughing, so happy. We lack that atmosphere, and we still have to go shopping."

As she spoke, she looked at Fu Yanchen with pitiful eyes, as if she were an abandoned little animal, trying to impress him in this way.

Fu Yanchen felt soft in his heart when he saw her like this, but he was still hesitant when he thought about her physical condition.

He gently scratched Xu Xiaoxiao's nose and said, "Little greedy cat, I knew you would say that. But you still have to ask the doctor first. If the doctor says there's no problem, I'll go with you, but I have to be with you the whole time to protect you and the baby."

When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, a bright smile suddenly bloomed on her face, like a blooming flower. She happily kissed Fu Yanchen on the face and said, "I knew you were the best!"

Fu Yanchen gently stroked the cheek that was kissed by Xu Xiaoxiao. The warm touch seemed to still linger on the skin, making his heart feel sweet as if it was filled with honey.

As far as I can remember, there were very few intimate interactions between them, and proactive intimacy like this was something I hadn't seen in a long time.

The corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and his eyes were full of tenderness and attachment.

"Ask the doctor quickly."

Xu Xiaoxiao urged anxiously, her eyes fixed on Fu Yanchen's phone, as if this would make the doctor's reply come faster.

Her hands unconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes, her body leaning forward slightly, and she looked as impatient as a child waiting for candy.

"Okay, ask the doctor."

Fu Yanchen looked at her lovingly, tapping his fingers quickly on the screen, sending the question clearly to Xu Xiaoxiao's attending physician.

After the message was sent successfully, he held the phone in front of Xu Xiaoxiao and said softly, "It has been sent. Let's wait for the doctor's reply."

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded, but her eyes never left her phone.

Time seemed to be particularly long at this moment, and every passing second made her anxious.

She paced back and forth in the room, sometimes looking out the window to see if there would be any signs of the sun coming out tomorrow, or if it would snow, and sometimes she went up to Fu Yanchen and asked him why the doctor hadn't responded yet.

Fu Yanchen looked at her fidgeting and couldn't help laughing. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, comforting her, "Don't worry, the doctor may be busy and will reply soon."

Xu Xiaoxiao leaned in his arms, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat. Her mood gradually calmed down, but she still muttered, "I just want to eat hot pot. I've already made an appointment with Yaoyao, Xiaomei and the others."

At this moment, the cell phone rang, and both of their eyes were instantly focused on the phone.

Fu Yanchen's fingers slid slowly across the screen of his mobile phone, and his expression gradually became solemn as the doctor replied. His originally relaxed brows seemed to be tightly twisted by invisible hands, and the wrinkles became deeper and deeper, like a ravine that was difficult to cross.

Xu Xiaoxiao's heart instantly rose to her throat, and her eyes were fixed on Fu Yanchen's face, not missing any subtle changes in his expression.

She felt her heartbeat suddenly quicken, as if a small drum was beating "dong dong dong" in her heart.

Seeing Fu Yanchen like this, she felt an ominous premonition in her heart and asked hurriedly: "Fu... Fu Yanchen... what's wrong? What did the doctor say? Can't eat it? I don't eat spicy food, is clear soup okay?"

There was a hint of anxiety and unwillingness in his voice, as if if only his voice was loud enough, he could change this not-so-good outcome.

Fu Yanchen sighed helplessly, handed the phone to Xu Xiaoxiao, and said softly: "Look for yourself, the doctor said that your physical condition is not very good, so I don't recommend it..."

His voice was low and gentle, like someone soothing a frightened deer.

Xu Xiaoxiao hurriedly took the phone, her eyes fixed on the screen, her fingers unconsciously pinching the edge of the phone.

When she saw the doctor's reply, disappointment instantly crossed her face. Her once bright eyes dimmed, as if obscured by a dark cloud. She pouted and muttered quietly, "Why didn't you recommend it? I'm so craving it."

He looked like a child whose favorite toy was taken away, feeling wronged and pitiful.

Fu Yanchen felt distressed when he saw her like this. He gently hugged Xu Xiaoxiao into his arms and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, don't be sad. The doctor is doing this for the good of you and the baby. After the baby is born, we can eat as much hot pot as you want. I will accompany you to try all kinds of hot pot."

Xu Xiaoxiao leaned in Fu Yanchen's arms, listening to his warm words, and felt a little better, but she still couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "But I want to eat now..."

Fu Yanchen....

Xu Xiaoxiao's lips were still pouting slightly, and her face was full of displeasure, when her cell phone suddenly rang again.

She seemed to have triggered some mechanism, and she instantly jumped up from Fu Yanchen's arms, grabbed the phone, and stared at the screen.

As her eyes wandered between the lines, the corners of her mouth rose little by little, and finally she burst into laughter. The laughter was crisp and pleasant, like a string of silver bells echoing in the house.

"What's wrong? Why are you so happy?" Fu Yanchen looked at her sudden change, his eyes full of confusion, as if he was looking at a child who suddenly solved a puzzle, and couldn't help but ask.

Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled with excitement, like two twinkling stars. She held her phone in front of Fu Yanchen and spoke rapidly, "Fu Yanchen, Fu Yanchen, look, the doctor said that as long as the ingredients are boiled, they're fine. If they're not boiled thoroughly, they can't be eaten. Eating them will cause a series of problems. I'm not a child. Would I cook them before eating? This doctor is really something, but he does make some sense."

Fu Yanchen looked at her cheeks that were flushed with excitement and felt helpless.

He really didn't want her to go out. It was cold outside and there were a lot of people around. If anything went wrong, he would be heartbroken.

But looking at Xu Xiaoxiao's current appearance, with anticipation and excitement flashing in her eyes, like a bird about to fly out of a cage, he couldn't bear to say no.

He sighed silently in his heart, like a soldier helplessly putting down his weapon.

The final result was naturally that Fu Yanchen compromised. He gently rubbed Xu Xiaoxiao's hair, and said with a hint of pampering and helplessness in his voice: "Okay, I promise to go out for hot pot with you, but I want to go too."

Xu Xiaoxiao almost jumped up with joy when she heard this. She hugged Fu Yanchen and kissed him hard on the face, saying, "I knew you were the best!"

Fu Yanchen stared at her brilliant smile, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

Her happiness seemed to be contagious, causing the corners of his mouth to rise slightly involuntarily.

Although hot pot was not his favorite food, he felt it was all worth it just to be with her.

The next day, the winter sun lazily sprinkled on the streets, adding a bit of warmth to the cold air.

Fu Yanchen carefully supported Xu Xiaoxiao and slowly walked towards the hot pot restaurant where they had agreed to meet.

Xu Xiaoxiao was wearing a soft white down jacket. Her belly was slightly bulging, but it did not reduce her agility and playfulness at all. She chattered all the way, full of anticipation for the upcoming hot pot party.

When they stepped into the hot pot restaurant, the steaming atmosphere hit them, and the aroma of various ingredients mixed together instantly aroused people's appetite.

Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes quickly scanned the store and soon locked onto Nan Weiwei's table.

She was about to shout, but suddenly froze for a moment, then the corners of her mouth rose, revealing a wicked smile.

It turned out that she saw Nan Yifeng sitting next to Nan Weiwei.

Nan Weiwei looked reluctant and helpless, and she would secretly glare at Nan Yifeng from time to time. Nan Yifeng pretended not to see it and fiddled with the tableware in front of him. His expression seemed to say, "I followed you here, what can you do to me?"

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud. She gently tugged at Fu Yanchen's sleeve, pointed at Nan Weiwei's table, and whispered, "Haha, as expected, even those who are already taken can't be free. Look at Weiwei's expression, it's like she's been stared at by a big-tailed wolf."

Fu Yanchen looked in the direction she pointed and couldn't help laughing. He gently squeezed Xu Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Your metaphor is quite vivid."

At this time, Xu Xiaoxiao saw Xiaomei sitting with Lu Feng not far away with a helpless look on her face.

Lu Feng was carefree and was talking to Xiaomei with a cheerful look on his face.

Xu Xiaoxiao laughed even harder. She leaned against Fu Yanchen and said, "Look at Xiaomei, Lu Feng is here too. This isn't just a hot pot party, it's clearly a 'sweet bondage' party."

Fu Yanchen looked at her naughty and cute appearance, his eyes full of doting. He helped Xu Xiaoxiao walk towards the table and said, "Let's go and join in the fun."

Fu Yanchen spoke...
