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

Chapter 1666 Fried Chicken and Burgers

Xu Xiaoxiao was listening with great interest to Nan Weiwei and Xiaomei's banter when she heard Nan Weiwei's guess. Her gaze immediately focused on Xiaomei, her eyes filled with concern and curiosity.

She sat up slightly, leaned forward, placed her hands on her knees, and asked gently, "Xiaomei, is what Weiwei said true? You... you're really in love? Tell us quickly, who is he? Is he reliable? What's his family like? Is his mother-in-law mean?"

Her tone was like that of a caring older sister concerned about her younger sister's life, full of sincerity.

Xiao Mei was caught off guard by Xu Xiaoxiao's barrage of questions, and her face flushed red to her ears, just like the magnificent sunset on the horizon.

She lowered her head, unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes, her eyes darting around, and said in a slightly embarrassed voice, "Xiaoxiao, don't listen to Weiwei's nonsense. She just likes to tease me. No... I really am not in a relationship." Her voice was so soft that it seemed a gentle breeze could blow it away.

Looking at Xiao Mei's shy and flustered appearance, Xu Xiaoxiao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a gentle smile.

Unlike Nan Weiwei, she wasn't enthusiastic about these kinds of gossip and always wanted to get to the bottom of things.

She gently patted Xiaomei's hand, a soft and warm gesture, like soothing a frightened little rabbit.

He said earnestly, "Xiaomei, I don't mean to pry. But you know, relationships are no small matter; they concern your lifelong happiness. If you ever do fall in love, you must pay attention to the other person's character."

"Character is the most important thing. Only a kind-hearted and responsible person can bring you true happiness. After all, this is a lifelong matter, so you can't be careless."

Xiao Mei felt a warm feeling well up in her heart after hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's words.

She slowly raised her head, looked into Xu Xiaoxiao's sincere and concerned eyes, nodded heavily, and said, "Xiaoxiao, I remember, thank you." Her voice was still a little shy, but it was full of determination.

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and patted Xiaomei's head, saying, "Why are you being so polite with me? No matter when or what happens, you can talk to me. I will always support you. In the capital, I am your family."

At this moment, Nan Weiwei pouted and pretended to be angry, saying, "Hmph, Xiaoxiao, you're just biased towards Xiaomei. You don't even care whether I'm dating or not."

Xu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at her and said with a smile, "You, always so energetic, with so many suitors around you, do you need me to worry about you? Maybe one day you'll suddenly bring a boyfriend home to surprise us, and isn't there still a resentful Nan Yifeng?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Weiwei immediately raised her chin smugly and said, "Absolutely! You'll all be in for a surprise then. As for Nan Yifeng..."

When Nan Yifeng was mentioned, Nan Wei sighed slightly, and everyone avoided the topic.

A moment later, the doorbell rang, and Nan Weiwei rushed to the door, excitedly shouting, "My takeout is here!"

Opening the door, Nan Weiwei took the enticingly fragrant bag from the deliveryman and strode back to the living room like a triumphant general. She placed the bag on the coffee table and quickly opened it.

In an instant, a rich aroma of fried chicken wafted over. The golden fried chicken was bright in color, and the skin was so crispy that it seemed like it would crumble at the slightest touch. Each piece was plump and round, glistening with an enticing sheen of oil, making one's mouth water at the sight of it.

The accompanying fries were also golden and translucent, neatly arranged, and sprinkled with a layer of fine salt, making them look incredibly appetizing.

At the same time, Hou's mother brought out a carefully stewed pork knuckle from the kitchen.

The pork hock was stewed until tender and flavorful, with a bright red color and an enticing sheen on the skin, as if it were overflowing with collagen.

Mrs. Hou also sprinkled some bright green scallions on top as a garnish, making it look very tempting.

However, Xu Xiaoxiao, who was originally looking forward to the braised pork knuckle, was now completely captivated by the golden fried chicken in Nan Weiwei's takeout order.

The aroma of fried chicken kept wafting into her nose, making her stomach rumble.

She looked at the golden-brown, crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside fried chicken, then at the pork knuckle in front of her, and suddenly felt that the pork knuckle didn't smell so good anymore.

Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes were fixed on the plate of fried chicken. She couldn't help but swallow and said hesitantly, "Oh dear, looking at Weiwei's golden fried chicken, I suddenly don't want to eat my pork knuckle anymore."

Nan Weiwei's eyes lit up when she heard this, and a smug smile appeared on her face. She deliberately picked up a piece of fried chicken, waved it in front of Xu Xiaoxiao, and made a "tsk tsk" sound, teasingly saying, "Xiaoxiao, this fried chicken smells so good. Are you sure you want to miss this delicious food? Why don't you try mine? Maybe you'll fall in love with it after just one bite."

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't resist any longer and reached out to grab the fried chicken, thinking: "Just one piece, it should be fine."

Just as her hand was about to touch the fried chicken, Mrs. Hou reacted quickly and slapped her hand.

The "smack" sound was particularly loud in the quiet living room.

Xu Xiaoxiao pulled her hand back after being slapped. She looked up with a wronged expression and saw that Madam Hou had a serious face. She said, "Xiaoxiao, have you forgotten what your husband told you? He specifically told you that you can't eat fried or unhealthy food while you're pregnant. It's not good for the baby."

Xu Xiaoxiao pouted, looking unhappy like a child, with tears welling up in her eyes.

She muttered softly, "Aunt Hou, I'll only eat a little bit, it'll be fine. Look how much Weiwei is enjoying her food, my baby in the belly must want to try some too."

Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao's pitiful appearance, Hou's mother felt a pang of heartache.

She wanted Xu Xiaoxiao to be happy, but when she thought of Fu Yanchen's instructions, she dared not slack off in the slightest.

After hesitating for a moment, Hou's mother still picked up her phone and dialed Fu Yanchen's number.

The call was quickly answered, and Hou's mother told Fu Yanchen in detail about Xu Xiaoxiao's unhappiness after she stopped her from eating fried chicken.

Mrs. Hou's voice carried a hint of helplessness and heartache: "Sir, Xiaoxiao is really craving that fried chicken. I don't let her eat it, but she's begging me. What should I do?"

She listened attentively to what Fu Yanchen said on the other end of the phone, nodding as she occasionally responded, "Okay, sir, I understand."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaoxiao."

After a while, Mrs. Hou hung up the phone. She took a deep breath, composed herself, and then turned to look at Xu Xiaoxiao with a gentle smile. She said, "The master said..."
