At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao gently sniffed the air, and her relaxed brows instantly furrowed. She pouted slightly and said with a hint of reproach, "Fu Yanchen, you're smoking again. The whole office is filled with the smell of smoke, and it's making me feel a little uncomfortable."
Her voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction, yet also a touch of coquettishness.
Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao's adorable appearance, Fu Yanchen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile.
He knew that since becoming pregnant, Xu Xiaoxiao's sense of smell had become exceptionally sensitive, and she could keenly detect even the slightest odor.
He quickly stepped forward, gently took Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, and explained, "Xiaoxiao, I really didn't know you would come to the company today. I thought that being at the company, away from you, would prevent the smell of the cigarette from affecting the baby, so I couldn't resist smoking one. Was the smell strong? I won't smoke anymore."
His eyes were full of apology, like a child who had done something wrong.
Xu Xiaoxiao pretended to be angry and deliberately raised her voice, saying, "One? Fu Yanchen, are you sure it's really just one? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child who's so easy to fool?"
In fact, she knew in her heart that Fu Yanchen's health was not very good. The doctor had long advised him to try not to smoke, but he could never help himself.
Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao's feigned anger, Fu Yanchen felt both amused and heartbroken.
He said with a relaxed expression, "Really, just one. You know, I haven't smoked in a long time, but I really wanted some today and couldn't resist."
He tried his best to make his expression look natural, not wanting Xu Xiaoxiao to notice anything amiss.
After all, he planned to handle the matter of Xu Xiaoxiao's aunt extorting him cleanly by himself, and didn't want Xu Xiaoxiao to worry about these troublesome things.
Xu Xiaoxiao sighed softly, her tone softening. She took Fu Yanchen's hand and said gently, "Fu Yanchen, it's not that I don't want you to smoke. First, I'm pregnant now and I'm particularly sensitive to the smell of smoke, and secondhand smoke is bad for the baby; second, your own health isn't good either. The doctor said you should control yourself. You have to think about your health."
Her eyes were full of worry and concern, as if she were looking at an extremely precious treasure.
Fu Yanchen nodded gently, placed Xu Xiaoxiao's hand on his cheek, feeling her warmth, and said, "Yes, I know, I know Xiaoxiao is doing this for my own good. Just this one, I will definitely be more careful in the future."
In fact, he had quit smoking a long time ago.
However, today's events have forced him to pick up tobacco again, something he once loathed.
Aunt Xu Xiaoxiao, who was extremely difficult to deal with and shameless to the extreme, came to his door again and kept pestering him, demanding money from him in an almost rogue-like manner.
What's even more despicable is that she actually made outrageous remarks, threatening that if she didn't get the money, she would provoke the innocent Xu Xiaoxiao, bringing him endless trouble and annoyance.
Faced with such despicable behavior and unreasonable demands, he could no longer tolerate it, but he was at a loss for what to do. In desperation, he could only relieve his anxiety and stress by smoking.
The mere thought of that greedy and despicable woman possibly bothering Xu Xiaoxiao filled him with rage.
If he weren't worried that she would actually go looking for Xu Xiaoxiao and affect Xu Xiaoxiao and the baby in her womb, he would have beaten this woman to a pulp today, so badly that even her own mother wouldn't recognize her.
No matter what, he must do everything in his power to protect Xu Xiaoxiao and ensure that she does not suffer any harm or loss.
After all, to him, Xu Xiaoxiao was the one he was willing to cherish and love with all his heart!
He was like a fool whose eyes were blinded, sinking deeper and deeper into the web of lies carefully woven by Lu Jingjing.
Those false sweet words and hypocritical actions bewitched him, turning his sharp words into blades that mercilessly pierced Xu Xiaoxiao's soft and sincere heart time and time again.
He forgot the dependence and love that flickered in Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes when she looked at him, forgot the warm and beautiful times they had spent together, and let Lu Jingjing's slander destroy their relationship.
Every cold turn after an argument, every hurtful word uttered, seemed to carve deep wounds into Xu Xiaoxiao's heart.
He watched as the light in Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes gradually dimmed, and as her bright smile was replaced by sorrow, yet she still stubbornly believed Lu Jingjing's lies, until the truth struck him like a heavy hammer, rudely waking him up.
At that moment, he was filled with remorse, hating himself for being so foolish, for being so easily deceived by lies, and for hurting the person who loved him the most.
Now, he has come to his senses and realizes that his past mistakes are like heavy shackles, constantly reminding him of his past folly.
Xu Xiaoxiao, still standing within his reach, bearing her own wounds, still chose to forgive him and stay by his side.
This tolerance and deep affection strengthened his resolve to protect her.
From now on, he will become Xu Xiaoxiao's strongest support.
When life's storms come, he will unhesitatingly open his arms and hold her tightly behind him, sheltering her from the wind and rain; when she encounters difficulties and setbacks, he will appear by her side immediately, giving her encouragement and support, and helping her through the tough times; when she feels tired and wronged, he will gently wipe away her tears, give her a warm hug, and let her know that no matter when or where, he is there for her.
He will put his heart into nurturing their relationship and use love to mend the rifts that were left behind.
He will remember every important day and prepare surprises and romance for her; he will pay attention to her every little emotion and give her meticulous care; he will respect her thoughts and choices and support her in pursuing her dreams.
He wanted to make Xu Xiaoxiao the happiest woman in the world, so that she would be surrounded by happiness for the rest of her life.
He wanted to walk with her through every stage of life, see every beautiful place in the world, and create countless wonderful memories together.
He wanted to hold her hand tightly and never let go, to walk hand in hand with her through life, until the end of time.
"Xiaoxiao, what do you want to eat later? I'll take you there."
Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head. "I'm not hungry right now. Aunt Hou made a lot of delicious food. I came here for two reasons: first, I was bored and wanted to take a walk; second, I have something I want to ask you."
"Oh... what is it? Is it important?"
"Yes... it's me..."
