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

Chapter 1665 Too Many Considerations

At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao spoke up, "Aunt Hou."

"What's wrong? Xiaoxiao, is your stomach upset? I'll call your husband." Mrs. Hou panicked.

"No, Aunt Hou, you seem so anxious." Xu Xiaoxiao gently touched her slightly protruding belly, her face showing a mixture of urgency and coquettishness as she spoke: "Aunt Hou, is the food ready? I'm so hungry, I can feel the baby in my belly protesting."

Her voice was soft, with the charming naiveté unique to pregnant women.

Hearing this, Mrs. Hou breathed a sigh of relief. "You scared me to death. I'll go to the kitchen to check. It should be almost done. You said you wanted to eat braised pork knuckle during the day, so I specially went to the market to pick out a big and fresh one. I'll slowly stew it when I get back. Braised pork knuckle needs to be stewed over low heat to absorb the flavor, but it takes a bit of time."

Hou's mother's figure flashed past the kitchen doorway, leaving only her concerned words echoing in the living room.

"Thank you, Aunt Hou, you've thought of everything."

Xu Xiaoxiao watched the direction where Hou's mother left with a sweet and warm smile, like a flower blooming in spring, which softened Hou's mother's heart.

Mrs. Hou couldn't help but sigh in her heart: If only this were her own daughter, so well-behaved and considerate.

Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao's satisfied expression, Nan Weiwei couldn't help but tease her, "Why do you want to eat that stuff? It's a pork knuckle, all chubby. Aren't you afraid of gaining weight if you eat too much?"

Xu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Nan Weiwei, but a smile played on her lips as she teased, "I'm pregnant, so don't try to guess what pregnant women like. Maybe the baby will like this. Don't worry, it's not just braised pork knuckle; Aunt Hou has also prepared several other dishes. She definitely won't treat you badly."

Upon hearing this, Nan Weiwei's eyes darted around, and she turned her gaze to Xiao Mei.

Xiao Mei was sitting quietly listening to their conversation when she suddenly felt Nan Weiwei's meaningful gaze. Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly waved her hand, saying, "Weiwei, that look you're giving me is weird. It feels like you're up to something again."

Nan Wei chuckled and leaned closer to Xiao Mei, saying mysteriously, "Xiao Mei, do you... want to eat KFC? The fried chicken is fragrant and crispy, the fries are crispy and soft, and there's cola, which is ice-cold. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water."

Xiaomei shook her head firmly and said, "Forget it. That kind of stuff is expensive and doesn't fill me up. I'll be hungry again soon after eating it. I'm not eating it. It's not summer now, and I can't drink anything cold."

Seeing Xiaomei firmly shake her head in refusal, Nan Weiwei didn't give up. Instead, she continued to patiently persuade her:

"Oh, please don't do that! Let me treat you this time! It's been so long since I've tasted this kind of delicious food; my mouth is already watering uncontrollably!"

"Xiaoxiao, how are you? Can you eat spicy food? Or are there any dietary restrictions? If so, please let me know in advance, otherwise it won't be fun if something goes wrong! But speaking of which, if there are no restrictions, how about we have a feast together? I guarantee you'll eat to your heart's content and have a great time!"

As Nan Weiwei spoke, she cast an expectant glance at Xu Xiaoxiao.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, and a look of worry appeared on her face. She continued, "But what if Fu Yanchen finds out? Will he kill me? He'll definitely think those things are unhealthy and won't let you eat them, since you're pregnant. Forget it, I'll just order what Xiaomei and I order. My life is more important. I'm going to live a glorious life from now on."

Xu Xiaoxiao gently stroked her belly, her eyes filled with determination. She slowly shook her head and said in a tone that was both playful and serious, "I don't know if Fu Yanchen will kill you, but I know my own body. For my own sake and for the sake of this naughty little one in my belly, I'd better not eat."

"Anyway, I'll be through this soon. After I give birth, I can eat whatever I want. Hot pot, barbecue, desserts, I'll have them all."

Nan Weiwei clapped her hands and nodded with a smile. She even deliberately put on the air of an old scholar, shaking her head and saying, "You're teachable. Alright, then you just watch us enjoy the food."

That sight made Xu Xiaoxiao and Xiaomei laugh out loud.

Xiao Mei didn't want to keep taking advantage of Nan Weiwei. She blushed slightly and said shyly, "Weiwei, I'll just have a small serving of French fries. I won't drink any carbonated drinks. I heard that eating too much of that can cause osteoporosis and is bad for your health."

Upon hearing this, Nan Weiwei immediately clicked her tongue dramatically, her eyes widening, and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, osteoporosis is a disease of the elderly. What are you afraid of at such a young age? Don't be so cautious. It's okay to indulge yourself occasionally. I drink all the time, and I don't have osteoporosis."

As she spoke, Nan Weiwei's gaze swept over Xiaomei. Seeing that Xiaomei had been dressing up more and more exquisitely lately, a mischievous smile suddenly appeared on her face. She deliberately drew out her voice and said, "Oh... I see! I think I understand now."

"what?"

"Are you currently experiencing a romantic relationship? That's why you're paying extra attention to your figure, afraid that you might gain weight and lose your charming appeal."

"Right? Haha, what a cute and interesting idea! But then again, if there really is such a special person in your life who makes you willing to change and become a better person, that's not necessarily a bad thing~ After all, love is a source of endless motivation and courage!"

Xiao Mei's face flushed bright red, reaching her ears like a ripe apple. She hurriedly waved her hands and stammered, "Don't talk nonsense, that's not true." Her flustered expression and hurried tone only made it seem like she was trying to cover something up.

Nan Weiwei, however, wouldn't let her off the hook, continuing to tease her: "Now I can confirm it! Look at you, you used to be a complete 'foodie,' with no scruples about food, accepting anything offered!"

"But now they've become so picky and particular, it's truly astonishing! This change is just too remarkable!"

"Sigh... In comparison, only I, a single dog, am still doing things my own way and don't care much about food. But that's not bad, hehehe... Let me enjoy the feast to my heart's content and make you two drool. Anyway, I'm not in a relationship, so I don't have to worry about my figure! I'm not pregnant, so I don't have to worry about the baby. It's so great."

After saying that, Nan Weiwei deliberately put on a smug look, put her hands on her hips, and laughed heartily, her cheerful laughter echoing in the living room.

Xiao Mei was both amused and annoyed by her, and she laughed along with her. The somewhat awkward atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and pleasant.

However, Nan Weiwei's words reminded Xu Xiaoxiao... and she spoke up...
