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

Chapter 1660 Bored, I Looked for Nan Weiwei

"I just... I want to go see my grandma. I've been missing her a lot lately."

Upon hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's words, Fu Yanchen's expression changed slightly in an instant, the change being extremely rapid, like lightning flashing across the night sky, disappearing in a flash.

He quickly composed himself, looked up at Xu Xiaoxiao with gentle and concerned eyes, and said, "Xiaoxiao, Grandma contacted me this morning."

"Huh?" Xu Xiaoxiao was a little incredulous.

"She said she really wanted to come see you, since you're pregnant now and she's been thinking about you a lot. But recently, with the changing seasons and the fluctuating weather, she caught a cold and still has a cough. She's worried about passing the cold on to you and the baby, so she said she won't be coming for the time being."

"Grandma specifically told me that you shouldn't visit her for the time being. After the baby is born and she has recovered, you can have a proper get-together. You see, you're about to give birth soon, so you have to be extra careful at this time."

Hearing Fu Yanchen's words, Xu Xiaoxiao pouted slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of grievance, and said, "Grandma is so biased. She contacted you but not me. I'm her real granddaughter, okay? She must be afraid I'll nag her, so she contacted you first."

Fu Yanchen was amused by Xu Xiaoxiao's adorable appearance. He reached out and hugged her, saying, "Grandma is just afraid you'll worry. She's getting old, and when she's sick, she tends to overthink things. If she contacts you, you'll definitely get anxious and upset."

“In her heart, it doesn’t matter who she contacts; she just wants the other person to know her situation and not worry about her. So don’t blame Grandma.”

Xu Xiaoxiao leaned against Fu Yanchen's chest, listening to his gentle words, and the little grievance in her heart gradually dissipated.

She looked up at Fu Yanchen, nodded, and said, "Then... okay, I'll listen to you. After the baby is born, I'll definitely take the baby to see Grandma as soon as possible so she can hold her great-grandson."

Fu Yanchen finally felt relieved. He gently kissed Xu Xiaoxiao's forehead and said, "That's right. I'll have the restaurant send up some light food now. I haven't eaten either. Would you like to eat with me?"

Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Great! My appetite has been pretty good lately, so I'll try the restaurant's new dishes."

As she spoke, she waited expectantly for the restaurant's food to arrive, her face beaming with a happy smile.

A short while later, the restaurant staff quietly pushed the food cart in.

The food cart was decorated with exquisite plates. When the lids were lifted, a fresh and delicate aroma instantly filled the air.

The plates were filled with carefully prepared clear soup dishes, including a crystal-clear shrimp and tofu soup. The tender white tofu was as light as a cloud, and the fresh shrimp were scattered among it, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

There's also a golden-yellow corn and pork rib soup, with the pork ribs stewed to perfection, the meat easily separating from the bone with a gentle bite, and the sweet, juicy corn glistening with an enticing sheen; in addition, there's a refreshing and delicious vegetable and egg drop soup, where the emerald green vegetables and tender yellow egg drop intertwine, like a beautiful painting.

Xu Xiaoxiao was already a little hungry, and when she saw the delicious-looking food, her eyes lit up instantly, like bright stars in the night sky.

Her throat bobbed involuntarily, saliva almost dripped down her chin, and her stomach growled a few times at the opportune moment.

She couldn't wait to sit down, picked up her chopsticks, and prepared to wolf down her food, looking like a hungry little cat.

After becoming pregnant, her appetite became very strange. One moment she would crave a certain food, and the next she would have no interest in anything. Just like now, seeing these clear soup dishes, her appetite suddenly increased and she suddenly felt hungry.

Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao's anxious yet adorable appearance, Fu Yanchen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile.

He gently reached out and patted Xu Xiaoxiao's head, saying tenderly, "Little glutton, don't rush, eat slowly, it's all yours, no one will take it from you."

Her voice was like a gentle breeze in spring, soft and warm, making Xu Xiaoxiao feel sweet inside.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked up, smiled sweetly at Fu Yanchen, and said, "These all look so delicious."

After saying that, she lowered her head again and continued to eat heartily, enjoying her meal immensely. A little soup clung to the corner of her mouth, making her look quite playful.

Fu Yanchen looked at her with eyes full of love, thinking that as long as Xu Xiaoxiao could eat happily and stay healthy, that was more important than anything else.

Fu Yanchen was watching with great interest as Xu Xiaoxiao devoured her food, her childlike cuteness arousing his not-so-strong appetite.

He smiled and shook his head, picked up his chopsticks, and ate with Xu Xiaoxiao.

The two chatted softly, occasionally placing a piece of food on each other's plate, creating a warm atmosphere at the small dining table.

After lunch, the sun shone brightly, casting a warm glow on the earth.

Fu Yanchen took Xu Xiaoxiao's hand and said gently, "Xiaoxiao, let's go for a walk in the company garden to aid digestion, and it'll be good for the baby too."

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded happily, and the two of them walked slowly towards the garden hand in hand.

The company garden is like an exquisite little world, with colorful flowers blooming in profusion. The red ones are like fire, the pink ones like the sunset, and the white ones like snow. A gentle breeze blows, and the flowers sway gently, releasing a refreshing fragrance.

The trees are lush and green, their leaves shimmering with golden light under the sun. Birds sing merrily in the branches, as if playing a symphony for this beautiful time.

Fu Yanchen and Xu Xiaoxiao strolled slowly along the winding path, enjoying the peaceful and pleasant moment.

They would sometimes pause to admire a beautiful flower, and sometimes chat quietly about the interesting things in their lives, their faces beaming with happy smiles.

As they walked, Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped, looked up, and asked with a hint of worry in her eyes, "Fu Yanchen, haven't Charles and the others caused you any trouble lately?"

Fu Yanchen's heart skipped a beat, like a stone being thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

Why did Xiaoxiao ask that? What did she know? But he quickly adjusted his expression and asked casually, "No, why would Xiaoxiao ask that?"

Xu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, her eyes revealing doubt, and said, "That's not right. Knowing their temperament, they should be asking you for money, saying it's for Grandma's upbringing."

“You’ve forgotten that they used to always ask you and Grandma for money under various pretexts. Grandma is old, and they not only don’t take care of her, they also always exploit her.”

Fu Yanchen inwardly cursed, but still tried to remain calm and explained, "Oh, this? I give them a sum of money every month. It's not much, but it's enough to satisfy their desires. I guess that's why they don't come."

As he spoke, he observed Xu Xiaoxiao's reaction, praying in his heart that she would believe him.

Xu Xiaoxiao gently shook her head and said, "It's impossible. Their desires can't be filled so easily. They're like a bottomless pit, they can never be filled. Fu Yanchen, after I give birth, let's bring Grandma back. Grandma is old and needs someone to take care of her, and she definitely wants to be with us. I don't want Grandma to be bullied by Charles and the others anymore." Her eyes were filled with determination and heartache for her grandmother.

Fu Yanchen was deeply moved when he saw Xu Xiaoxiao's earnest expression.

He gently pulled her into his arms and said, "Okay, once you've given birth and recovered, we'll bring Grandma back so she can enjoy her old age in peace. I'll protect you and Grandma from now on and won't let anyone bully you again."

Then we can tell Xiaoxiao about her grandmother's passing, and she will take good care of Charles's family.

In the afternoon, Fu Yanchen carefully helped Xu Xiaoxiao walk slowly out of the company.

Xu Xiaoxiao's slightly protruding belly looked particularly soft in the sunlight; it was the fruit of their love and the hope that was about to be born into this world.

Fu Yanchen personally opened the car door and gently helped Xu Xiaoxiao into the car, his movements as tender as if she were a fragile treasure.

He carefully adjusted Xu Xiaoxiao's seat to make her more comfortable, and then asked softly, "Xiaoxiao, the ride might be a bit bumpy. If you feel uncomfortable, be sure to tell me."

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, her eyes filled with happiness and dependence.

Watching the car slowly start and drive Xu Xiaoxiao toward the villa, Fu Yanchen turned around and got back into his own car.

He sat in the driver's seat, his gaze hardening and turning cold, a stark contrast to the gentleness he had shown when facing Xu Xiaoxiao. The car sped towards the company, its wheels leaving faint tracks on the road.

On his way back to the company, Fu Yanchen picked up his phone and dialed Lin Nuo's number.

Lin Nuo's respectful voice came quickly from the other end of the phone: "Sir, what are your instructions?" Fu Yanchen frowned slightly and said in a low and serious voice: "Lin Nuo, you need to keep a close eye on Charles's family's every move recently. I don't believe that he is completely unaware of his wife's outrageous behavior. He must be the one pulling the strings behind the scenes."

“Charles has always been a wicked man who will do anything for money. I’m worried he might do something to hurt Xiaoxiao.”

Lin Nuo took careful notes on the other end of the phone and said, "Okay, sir, I will arrange for people to monitor them 24 hours a day. If there is any abnormality, I will report to you immediately."

Fu Yanchen continued, "Also, we need to prevent their family from getting close to Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao is pregnant now, and her body and mind are relatively vulnerable. We absolutely cannot let them have any opportunity to take advantage of her."

"Also, Lin Nuo, please inform the obstetricians at the hospital to be prepared to deliver the baby at any time, including surgery. I'm worried that Xiao Xiao might give birth too soon, and what if she can't have a natural birth and needs surgery? Although there are still two months until her due date, no one can predict these things."

Lin Nuo said with some doubt, "Isn't Madam's due date still two months away? It shouldn't be that early, and all her previous prenatal checkups were normal."

Fu Yanchen said firmly, "It's better to be safe than sorry. Xiaoxiao and the baby's safety is the top priority. We can't afford to take any chances. Follow my instructions and make sure everything goes perfectly."

Lin Nuo sensed the unquestionable authority in Fu Yanchen's words and quickly nodded, saying, "Okay, sir, I'll make the arrangements right away. I will personally communicate with the hospital to ensure the doctors are fully prepared and to strengthen protective measures for my wife."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Yanchen took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a hint of worry, but even more so, determination.

That night, Fu Yanchen plunged into his study. The once spacious and bright space, with its neatly arranged bookshelves and comfortable desk, instantly became his busy battlefield.

In the study, the light was dim and soft, but it couldn't dispel the solemn look between his brows.

Sometimes he would sit at his desk, facing the computer screen, his fingers rapidly typing on the keyboard, his eyes fixed on the data and documents on the screen, as if trying to etch every detail into his mind; other times he would stand up and pace back and forth in the study, his brows furrowed, as if he were thinking about some thorny problem, muttering to himself from time to time.

Xu Xiaoxiao tossed and turned in her bedroom, unable to fall asleep. She quietly got up, put on a light coat, and quietly walked to the door of the study.

Through the slightly ajar door, she saw Fu Yanchen's busy figure, and her heart was filled with doubt.

She had no idea what he was busy with. The mountains of documents and the constantly flickering computer screen seemed to her like a book from heaven, full of mystery and the unknown.

She had never understood the company's affairs; the complex business and cumbersome processes were like insurmountable chasms, separating her from his busy world.

So she just stood quietly at the door for a while, then gently turned around and went back to the bedroom without disturbing him.

The next morning, the sunlight filtered through the thin curtains, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the bedroom floor. Fu Yanchen got up early, quietly washed up, dressed, and prepared to leave.

As he approached the bedroom door, he saw Xu Xiaoxiao still asleep, her serene face appearing exceptionally beautiful in the sunlight.

He walked gently to the bedside, bent down, and lightly kissed Xu Xiaoxiao's forehead. Then he said softly, "Xiaoxiao, I'm going out for a bit. If you're bored, you can chat with Nanwei, but don't go wandering around. There are too many people and cars outside, and I'm worried about you."

Xu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes groggily and felt a pang of grievance upon hearing Fu Yanchen's words.

She thought Fu Yanchen was upset that she went to his company yesterday and felt that she had caused him trouble.

Her lips pursed slightly, and her eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction and disappointment. She did not respond to Fu Yanchen's words immediately.

Fu Yanchen was incredibly observant; he immediately saw through Xu Xiaoxiao's little scheme.

He gently sat down on the edge of the bed, took Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, and looked at her with tender yet firm eyes. He said, "Xiaoxiao, I don't mean to blame you. I was so happy you went to the company yesterday, how could I blame you? I'm just worried that if I'm not at the company, there will be no one to take care of you when you come. You're pregnant now, so your body is more vulnerable. If anything happens to you, I'll be heartbroken. Be good, don't go anywhere, wait for me to come back."

Upon hearing Fu Yanchen's words, Xu Xiaoxiao's grievances vanished instantly.

She looked up into Fu Yanchen's loving eyes, a sweet smile playing on her lips. She nodded gently and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Be careful on your way and come back soon."

Fu Yanchen smiled and patted her head, then got up and left the bedroom, only to return...
