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

Chapter 1511 Friend Invitation

"Hey, smile."

On the other end of the phone, Nan Weiwei was lazily lying on the sofa at home, with several bags of uneaten snacks scattered around her. Boring commercials were playing on TV, but she had no interest in watching them at all.

She scratched her hair boredly and put the phone to her ear. Her voice was full of grievance and boredom, and she sighed with a long tail: "I'm bored to death. These days are just like a stagnant pool of water, without any waves. I feel like I'm going moldy."

Xu Xiaoxiao had already slipped out. The sun finally came out, and she was unwilling to miss it. She was sitting on the swing in the garden of the old Fu family house, swaying gently. The sunlight shone on her through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. The servants in the house were cleaning the snow in the yard.

When she heard Nan Weiwei's words, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, her eyes full of anticipation, and she said softly, "Hey, since you don't have to go to work tomorrow, why don't you come and see me? I'm almost bored to death at home. It's such a big house, and I'm all alone. It's so quiet that I can hear my own heartbeat. There's not even anyone to talk to. It's so uncomfortable."

When Nan Weiwei heard this, she instantly jumped up from the sofa, like a cat whose tail was stepped on. She subconsciously started the three-consecutive rejection mode, her voice rising an octave with a bit of urgency and resistance: "No, no, no, I won't go, I don't want to, no way!"

Xu Xiaoxiao, "Why?"

"You know grandma's temper. She doesn't get along with me. She'll definitely nag me to death when she sees me, saying all sorts of inexplicable things. Didn't I just stay with Fu Yanchen a little longer last time? Did she have to say such harsh words? Oh, I'm wondering, you are grandma's granddaughter, and so am I. Why would she have such a strange idea and actually say that I would seduce Fu Yanchen."

"No, who am I, Nan Weiwei? How could I possibly be interested in that living devil? He has a stern and cold face all day long, as if someone owes him millions. I don't care about him at all!"

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but chuckle when she heard Nan Weiwei's angry words. The laughter was as clear as a silver bell, echoing softly on the other end of the phone, but she didn't speak immediately.

She seemed to be able to see Nan Weiwei's angry look at the moment, like an inflated pufferfish, so cute.

Nan Weiwei couldn't help feeling anxious when she saw that Xu Xiaoxiao didn't respond.

She felt that she had made her words very clear, but Xu Xiaoxiao seemed indifferent, which made her a little puzzled.

"Xiaoxiao, why don't you say anything? Don't you believe what I said?" Nan Weiwei couldn't help but ask again, with a hint of doubt in her tone.

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Think about it. You, someone who loves quiet so much, feel bored staying at home. If I, who love to jump around and make noise, go to accompany you, wouldn't that be the same? Then the two of us would just be staring at each other. How boring! We would only be more bored."

Xu Xiaoxiao,,,,

At this point, Nan Weiwei emphasized her tone a little, "Besides, you're still pregnant and your belly isn't very noticeable. Don't make such a fuss and be so cautious. You're just too nervous. Actually, I think you should just do what you need to do and stop making yourself so mysterious."

"Oh, think about it, now's the perfect time! If you don't have some fun now, you won't have another chance later! As your belly gets bigger, it'll become more and more difficult to move around. Then you'll probably just be lying in bed all day, unable to do anything! How boring that would be! So, you better make the most of the time you have now!"

"But don't worry too much, you still have me, your sister, after all! I'll be over to spend the weekend with you, and I'll bring you lots of delicious food! Is that okay? I'm really nice to you!"

After saying this, she deliberately sighed heavily, as if she had made a great sacrifice.

Xu Xiaoxiao listened to Nan Weiwei's rapid-fire complaints on the other end of the phone, and couldn't help but curl up a playful smile at the corner of her mouth, like a flower bud that had just bloomed in spring, with a bit of playfulness and agility.

She leaned gently on the soft sofa, her fingers unconsciously twirling around the telephone cord, as if weaving an invisible conversation.

"You really are my sister," Xu Xiaoxiao said with a smile, "but, Weiwei, grandma's words are just words. She really loves you very much in her heart. As for Fu Yanchen, didn't you say before that he was handsome, like a movie star? Why is he like a 'living devil' now?"

Xu Xiaoxiao deliberately dragged out the last syllable of her words, her tone full of teasing, as if she was teasing a kitten with its fur standing on end.

Nan Weiwei snorted on the other end of the phone, her voice filled with a hint of dissatisfaction: "That was so long ago! Looking at him now, he has a stern face all day long, as if someone owes him money. I don't like it. Besides, grandma's idea is weird to begin with. How could I, the eldest daughter of the Nan family, seduce my sister's husband?"

Xu Xiaoxiao was amused by her righteous words and laughed out loud. Her laughter echoed in the room like a string of crisp wind chimes.

"Okay, okay, our Weiwei is the most principled. But seriously, are you really not coming to see me tomorrow? I'm home alone, with no one to talk to. It's so boring."

Nan was silent for a while, as if weighing the pros and cons in her mind.

After a moment, she finally spoke, her tone containing a hint of compromise: "Then... I'll sneak over tomorrow, but you have to cover for me. If grandma finds out, you have to speak for me."

Xu Xiaoxiao slowly leaned back, leaning on the backrest, looking at the distance with a somewhat blank look in her eyes. After a long while, she let out a long sigh, and the sigh seemed to carry endless melancholy and emotion, echoing softly in the quiet room.

"Weiwei, grandma has moved back to live with her 'nephew'."

There was a hint of loneliness in Xu Xiaoxiao's voice, as if a piece of a complete puzzle had suddenly been pulled out, leaving a gap that was difficult to fill.

"No, why? Are you not nice to her?" Nan Weiwei asked.

"No, she didn't because she let Charles and the others suck my blood."

"Grandma is really worried. With Fu Yanchen around, Charles and his family won't be able to take advantage." Nan Weiwei said.

"Well, of course I know, but Grandma... never mind, let's not talk about it anymore... I've kept everything you said in mind. But some things really aren't so easy to say... But you're right, I think I should go out more often while I'm still relatively light and agile. After all, as my belly gets bigger, I'm sure I'll become more and more clumsy. By then, I'm afraid I'll really be trapped in this room, unable to go anywhere! The thought of that scenario is so terrifying!"

As she spoke, she subconsciously stroked her belly, which had not yet bulged. Her eyes were full of tenderness and anticipation, mixed with a hint of worry about future mobility difficulties.

"The weather has been quite frustrating lately. The sky seems covered in a thick layer of snow, which keeps falling. Looking out, the world outside is adorned with pure white snow, a vast expanse of white. The cold air seeps in through the cracks in the window, making me shiver."

"You know what? Fu Yanchen, like a strict parent, kept a very strict watch on me. No matter how much I begged, he would never let me leave the house. He always worriedly said that the roads outside were extremely slippery due to the accumulated snow, and coupled with the freezing weather, what if I accidentally slipped and fell, or got frostbite from the severe cold? What would happen then?"

"Although I understand his concerns, being trapped indoors for so long really makes me feel suffocated. I long to be able to go outdoors and feel the snow-covered world and breathe the fresh air, even if it's just for a short moment."

Xu Xiaoxiao curled her lips helplessly, her tone filled with a bit of spoiled complaints, "But let's see if tomorrow will be sunny like now. It would be great if the sun is shining tomorrow. Maybe I can convince Fu Yanchen to go out with me, breathe the fresh air outside, and see the unique scenery in this winter."

As she spoke, a glimmer of longing flashed in her eyes, as if she had already seen herself and Fu Yanchen walking hand in hand on the sun-drenched streets, surrounded by a world covered in silver, as beautiful as a fairy tale.

"No, Xiaoxiao, don't let Fu Yanchen follow you." Nan Weiwei said.

Xu Xiaoxiao tilted her head slightly, her face full of confusion. Her bright eyes flickered with puzzlement as she pressed, "Why?"

Xu Xiaoxiao frowned subconsciously, "Fu Yanchen said that I have to take him with me when I go out in the future..."

As she spoke, she bit her lip lightly, as if trying to understand why Nan Weiwei refused.

Nan Weiwei on the other end of the phone sighed helplessly, that sigh seeming to carry a hint of both laughter and tears, and explained, "Xiaoxiao, think about it, if we go shopping, it doesn't seem appropriate for him, an old man, to come along. Think about it, when we girls go shopping, we have to try on clothes and cosmetics in various stores, chattering about which styles are good-looking and which colors make our skin look whiter. It would be so awkward for him, a grown man, to stand there. It would be inconvenient for us to talk, and he would probably feel uncomfortable being there too."

Xu Xiaoxiao listened to Nan Weiwei's words, lowered her head slightly, her fingers tapping unconsciously on the armrest of the chair, a hint of thought flashed in her eyes.

She imagined the scene: she and Nan Weiwei were excitedly changing into various beautiful clothes in the fitting room, then sticking their heads out to ask each other's opinions, while Fu Yanchen stood outside with a helpless and embarrassed look on his face, not knowing where to look.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "Come to think of it, it does feel weird to have him following her."

On the other end of the phone, Nan Weiwei's voice was filled with excitement and anticipation, like a stone dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring ripples in Xu Xiaoxiao's heart: "Xiaoxiao, after shopping tomorrow, let's go for hot pot. Invite Xiaomei, and we'll have a lively gathering."

"I'm planning on having the red soup. The bright red base of the pot is so appetizing just by looking at it. The various ingredients are swirling in the pot, soaking up the spicy and fragrant broth. One bite is so satisfying!"

"You, just have the clear soup. After all, you're pregnant now, so you can't eat anything too spicy. I heard that spicy food can easily cause a sore throat for pregnant women, and if you feel uncomfortable, that's going to be troublesome. So, let's be careful, and just have the clear soup. It's good for you and the baby. If anything happens to you, Fu Yanchen, the living devil, will definitely skin me alive."

When Xu Xiaoxiao heard the word "hot pot", her eyes lit up instantly, as if stars were twinkling.

The scene of the steaming hot pot immediately emerged in her mind: the soup base in the copper pot was bubbling, and all kinds of fresh ingredients were neatly placed on the plate, including tender beef slices, chewy shrimp balls, crispy vegetables... She swallowed subconsciously and felt like her saliva was about to flow down.

In winter, the wind is cold, the snowflakes are flying, and the earth is covered with white.

In this season, the happiest thing is to get together with good friends, sit around the hot pot, and share a steaming feast of delicious food.

In the hot pot restaurant, it is warm like spring and the air is filled with rich fragrance.

The hot pot base rolls in the pot, emitting strings of tempting bubbles.

The table was filled with various ingredients, including fresh meat slices, juicy vegetables, smooth tofu, rich seafood, etc. It was a dazzling array that made people salivate.

A group of people sat around the hot pot, holding chopsticks in their hands, and couldn't wait to put their favorite ingredients into the pot.

As time goes by, the ingredients are cooked in the pot, emitting bursts of fragrance.

Everyone was enjoying the delicious food while chatting, and the laughter and conversation filled the entire room.

Every bite of food brings a full sense of happiness. The hot and spicy taste dances on the tip of the tongue, then slides down the throat, warming the whole body.

Several people ate and chatted, sharing each other's life details, interesting stories and troubles, listening to each other, comforting each other, and their relationship became closer in this warm atmosphere.

In the cold winter, hot pot is not only a delicacy, but also an emotional bond.

It connects the hearts of friends closely and allows everyone to feel the warmth and beauty of friendship.

This feeling of happiness spreads from the tip of the tongue to the bottom of the heart, making people intoxicated and unforgettable.

Deep in her heart, she was filled with endless desire and yearning for this place.

This desire is like a blazing fire that cannot be extinguished.

She felt as if she was being pulled by an invisible force. It was an irresistible temptation, like a small hook hidden in the darkness, quietly hooking her heart and making her unable to break free.

"Okay, I'll... discuss it with Fu Yanchen and get back to you later."

Xu Xiaoxiao quickly agreed, with a hint of impatience in her voice, as if she was afraid that Nan Weiwei would go back on her word.

After hanging up the phone, she sat in a chair and began to look forward to tomorrow's hot pot date. The corners of her mouth unconsciously rose and her face was filled with a happy smile.
