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

Chapter 1173: I Won’t Let It Go

"Xiaoxiao, I..." Fu Yanchen spoke with difficulty. His voice was low and hoarse, like the wind from the depths of the valley, carrying endless pain and struggle.

Every word seems to carry a thousand pounds of emotion, weighing heavily on the tip of the tongue, yet lingering in the throat, unable to be fully expressed.

He stared quietly at the woman in front of him, his eyes as deep as the sea of ​​stars in the night sky, as if he could see through Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes and reach the deepest part of her soul.

However, in addition to deep affection, there was also a hint of imperceptible begging, like a wounded beast licking its wounds silently in the darkness.

Xu Xiaoxiao stood quietly under the street lamp. The dim light poured down like water, gently falling on her body, coating her petite body with a faint silver glow.

Her long hair swayed gently in the breeze, emitting a charming luster, but this beautiful scene could not illuminate the corner of her heart that was heavily shrouded in the haze of the past.

She frowned slightly and rubbed her temples gently, as if trying to relieve the severe headache caused by the constant flood of memories.

Those unbearable past events, like a tide, hit her fragile mental defenses one after another, almost suffocating her.

Finally, she took a deep breath, raised her head and looked straight into Fu Yanchen's eyes, and said slowly: "Fu Yanchen, please, don't be so nice to me, can't you just treat me like a fart? Can't you just let me go? It's over between us, why bother to keep struggling? I..."

Her voice was calm and resolute, but who could hear the helplessness and sadness hidden deep inside?

There was a hint of fatigue in her voice, and more of helplessness. It was not that she did not understand Fu Yanchen's feelings, but the pain she had experienced was like a brand, deeply engraved in her heart and difficult to erase.

After hearing this, Fu Yanchen's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if he was hit by an invisible force.

He slowly moved forward a few steps; his steps seemed heavy and hesitant, as if each step required great effort to take.

At this moment, he seemed to be standing at a crossroads, with the fear of the unknown on one side and the strong desire deep in his heart on the other.

He just stood there quietly, waiting for the other party to give even just a simple response.

However, at the same time, perhaps only he himself knew that he was also desperately trying to accumulate enough courage for himself to face everything that might happen next.

"Xiaoxiao! Why can't you let me go? Can't you do it? Please treat the old me as an insignificant fart and let me go, okay? Let's start over like this, isn't it good?"

Fu Yanchen finally couldn't hold back and spoke, but what was unexpected was that he, who was always so elegant and gentle, actually swore at this moment.

You know, it is very rare for Fu Yanchen, who always presents himself as a noble person, to say such vulgar words.

And when these words slowly uttered from his thin lips, everyone present clearly felt that there was a deep bitterness in them that could not be concealed.

These few simple words seemed to have exhausted all his strength.

He knew very well that this sentence was not only spoken to the person in front of him, but also a question to himself who had been suffering deep in his heart.

Ever since fate made him meet Xu Xiaoxiao, his originally peaceful world was completely shattered.

The confidence that I once had in control of everything collapsed in an instant, and was replaced by endless confusion and struggle.

When he recalled the choices he had made in the past, they were like sharp blades, ruthlessly cutting deep and shallow scars on his heart. Every time the blade was cut, a string of painful blood would splash out, and then deeply embed into the deepest part of his soul.

These pains constantly reminded him how serious the mistakes he had made were.

When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, she suddenly turned her body, and her movement was as fast as lightning across the night sky.

A flash of pain flashed across her beautiful eyes for a moment, followed by burning anger.

Her beautiful eyes were like burning flames, staring at Fu Yanchen in front of her, as if she wanted to see through his skin to his cold and ruthless heart.

The eye sockets gradually turned slightly red, just like the first blooming peach petals in spring. Crystal clear tears kept swirling in the eye sockets, like sparkling pearls about to roll down.

But as stubborn as she was, she bit her lips tightly, trying hard not to let the tears fall easily.

"Fu Yanchen, then...what were you thinking at the beginning? Why didn't you think of letting me go? Let my brother Xu Haoran go! And what about Brother Ji Feng?"

Xu Xiaoxiao could no longer suppress the surging anger and sadness in her heart, and she suddenly raised her voice and roared. The sound was like a thunder that split the sky, several decibels higher than before.

Every word she spoke was like a sledgehammer hitting Fu Yanchen's heart. Her words were filled with undisguised questioning and an uncontrollable grief and indignation.

To her, although Xu Haoran is not her blood-related brother, he is the most important and indispensable person in her life.

Xu Haoran protected her and gave her endless love and care.

And Ji Feng, the man who is like a brother and an elder and worthy of respect and reliance, is also an extremely warm harbor in her heart.

However, it was precisely because of the decisive decision Fu Yanchen made that year that he unhesitatingly dragged all of them into an extremely terrible storm.

From that moment on, their originally peaceful and beautiful life was instantly torn into pieces and unrecognizable.

Although she later learned that her brother's true identity was a spy planted by the old man, even so, if Fu Yanchen had not used her brother to threaten her and forced her to do things against her will, perhaps she would not have ended up in such a miserable situation - suffering endless bullying and torture from Lu Jingjing's family all day long.

Fu Yanchen slowly closed his eyes, his thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if carrying endless sorrow and pain.

His chest heaved violently, as if an invisible hand was clutching his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Finally, he took a deep breath, but this breath was as heavy as a lead block, pressing him so hard that he almost bent over.

As he inhaled, a bitter taste spread in his mouth. It was the taste of pain, like a flood that instantly overwhelmed all his senses and thoughts. Fu Yanchen clenched his fingers into fists, his knuckles turning white due to the force, as if he wanted to squeeze out all the regret and self-blame in his heart.

He stared blankly ahead, his thoughts drifting back to that stormy night. If time could go back, he would stop all actions of the Lu family without hesitation, no matter how great the cost.

"Xiaoxiao, at the beginning..." His voice trembled, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. "I thought you were in cahoots with those kidnappers, that's why I was so angry. The Lu family told me that as long as I sent you to prison, they would not pursue the matter anymore. I also knew that they would not let it go, so I secretly found someone to protect you in prison."

Speaking of this, Fu Yanchen's eyes became moist again.

He never thought that his wrong judgment would cause such deep harm to Xu Xiaoxiao.

He thought he was protecting her, but he didn't expect that this way of protection would push her into a deeper abyss.

Xu Xiaoxiao trembled slightly when she heard this. She turned her head and looked at Fu Yanchen with complicated eyes.

At that moment, she seemed to see his inner struggle and pain, and also saw his hidden love for her.

"You... protected me in prison?" Xu Xiaoxiao's voice trembled a little. She had never thought that in her darkest and most helpless days, Fu Yanchen was actually protecting her in another way.

Fu Yanchen nodded, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. "Yes, I have been protecting you. I know that I owe you an explanation and an apology. Xiaoxiao, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

His voice was low and sincere, and every word seemed to strike Xu Xiaoxiao's heart.

She suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of relief, as if all the resentment and confusion that had been pent up in her heart had found an outlet at this moment.

Xu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and looked at Fu Yanchen, her eyes flashing with complex light. "Fu Yanchen, do you know? I used to hate you very much. I hated why you treated me like that, and why you didn't believe me. But now, forget it. I don't want to talk about it anymore. You... Let's go, let's just let it go."

Speaking of this, Xu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, and that smile carried a hint of relief as well as expectations for the future.

"Perhaps, we all need time to let go of the pain of the past. But at least now, I know that you can't do it. Even if you have your own difficulties, the damage... has already been done."

Time passed minute by minute, and just a few seconds later, Fu Yanchen's low but extremely firm voice once again echoed in the air.

The sound was like a huge bell, striking heavily the hearts of everyone present, including Xu Xiaoxiao.

His words seemed not just spoken to himself, but more like a resounding promise, conveyed directly to Xu Xiaoxiao in front of him.

"I can't just let things take their own course!" Fu Yanchen clenched his fists tightly, staring at Xu Xiaoxiao with a sharp gaze, his eyes flashing with determination and determination.

"I will work hard until you come back to me. Because I know I made a mistake, I will do my best to make up for it, even if it costs a huge price!"

At the end of his speech, his tone became more and more determined, as if nothing could stop him from moving forward.

There was an unprecedented determination in his eyes, a tenacity that would not give up until the goal was achieved.

Fu Yanchen knew that he owed Xu Xiaoxiao too much, and it couldn't be compensated by a simple apology.

He is willing to spend the rest of his life proving his sincerity and regaining the trust and love that he once lost.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao paused slightly but did not turn back.

She knew that Fu Yanchen's words were not empty words, and he was always a man of his words.

However, she still needs time to digest this information and sort out her inner emotions.

After a moment's silence, Xu Xiaoxiao finally took a step forward and turned to go into the house.

The moment the door closed gently, it seemed to isolate itself from all the noise and disturbance from the outside world.

She leaned against the door and closed her eyes, Fu Yanchen's words echoing in her mind, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Xu Xiaoxiao knew that she was not a person who could easily forgive others, especially those who had hurt her deeply.

But at this moment, she also felt Fu Yanchen's sincere regret and determination.

She couldn't help but start to wonder whether it was really necessary to keep dwelling on the pain of the past, and whether it was really impossible to give each other a chance to start over.

The room was quiet, with only the sound of Xu Xiaoxiao's own heartbeat echoing in her ears.

She took a deep breath, as if she wanted to absorb all the worries and troubles into her body, and then exhaled slowly, allowing her mind to gain a sense of peace and release.

The road ahead is still long, and Xu Xiaoxiao knows that she needs to face it bravely and make a decision.

No matter what the result is, she believes that time will give her the best answer.

The next day,
