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

Chapter 1651 5

"Hehe, Fu Yanchen, I've calculated the dates, Xu Xiaoxiao's due date is almost here! Just in case..."

A twisted excitement flickered in his eyes, as if he were anticipating something terrible to happen.

“I’ve heard some rumors about her poor health, but I don’t know the specifics. I can imagine that as an expectant mother, she needs to maintain a stable mindset to nurture a new life.”

“If a pregnant woman is anxious or experiences significant mood swings, it will have a negative impact on the fetus. If she were to learn of the devastating news of her grandmother’s passing, she would likely find it difficult to bear such a heavy blow.”

"You know, she has always been sincere and deep in her emotions. If she learns of this unfortunate news, she will surely be plunged into endless grief and sorrow, and may even become suspicious of you—thinking that this matter may be related to you in some way."

"After all, things in this world can't always be kept completely under wraps. As the saying goes, you can't hide fire with paper. And once certain things start, they can easily get out of control like a runaway horse. Besides, you have a history of this."

As she spoke, she tapped the sofa armrest lightly with her hand, the rhythm like the drumbeat of her wicked plan.

Lin Nuo, who was originally suppressing her anger, stood quietly behind Fu Yanchen.

Upon hearing the woman's offensive and malicious threats, his face instantly turned bright red, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes widened like copper bells, as if they were about to spit fire.

He could no longer contain his anger. He rushed forward, stood in front of Ms. Wen, looked down at her, and shouted, "Ms. Wen, you've really opened my eyes! Look at the way you eat! It's more exaggerated than a starving ghost reincarnated!"

"Does your family mean you're so poor you can't even afford to eat? Or are you a bottomless pit, never able to fill your stomach? I think you should just stop calling yourself Ms. Wen and just change your name to 'Greedy Snake'!"

Lin Nuo looked at the woman in front of him with disdain, thinking to himself, "I really don't know where she gets the courage and confidence to be so insolent and rude! This is Mr. Fu's office! What she did not only made her lose face, but also showed great disrespect to Mr. Fu!"

Lin Nuo's voice trembled slightly with anger, but he still tried to keep his tone firm.

"How dare you openly threaten Mr. Fu and even try to use such despicable means to harm Xu Xiaoxiao and the child in her womb? Don't you have any shame? Don't you think about the retribution for the despicable things you've done? You were the one who caused the death of Xu Xiaoxiao's grandmother. Now you want to use this to blackmail others. Have you lost all your conscience?"

Ms. Wen was startled by Lin Nuo's sudden outburst. The smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by shock and anger.

She suddenly stood up, confronting Lin Nuo, hands on her hips, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Who do you think you are, daring to talk to me like that! So what if I have a big appetite? I have the ability to make demands. If Fu Yanchen wants Xu Xiaoxiao to give birth to the child safely, he'd better obediently meet my conditions, otherwise, can he bear the consequences?"

Lin Nuo met her gaze without flinching and said coldly, "Don't think your threats will work. Mr. Fu is not someone you can easily manipulate. If you dare to do anything to harm Xu Xiaoxiao, the law will not let you off the hook, and neither will we. You'd better stop your threatening tricks now and leave this place immediately, or you will pay a heavy price for your actions."

At this moment, Fu Yanchen sat in a chair, his face as cold as frost, his eyes revealing a chilling majesty.

He listened quietly to Lin Nuo and Ms. Wen's argument without speaking immediately, but the aura he exuded made the temperature in the entire office drop a few degrees.

He secretly plotted how to deal with this greedy and vicious woman, making sure she didn't harm Xu Xiaoxiao and their unborn child.

Fu Yanchen sat behind his desk, his hands clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, and the veins on his knuckles were faintly visible.

He suppressed the murderous urge surging within him, like a volcano about to erupt. If it weren't for his promise to Xu Xiaoxiao not to do anything excessive again, he... would have already... His temples throbbed, as if struck by a heavy hammer.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. After a brief pause in his chest, he slowly exhaled, his voice as cold as if it came from an ice cellar: "Ms. Wen, tell me, how much do you want in exchange for agreeing to stop bothering Xu Xiaoxiao?"

Aunt Xu Xiaoxiao, who had been slumped on the sofa, perked up instantly upon hearing Fu Yanchen's words. Her eyes widened, gleaming with a greedy golden light that seemed capable of devouring everything around her.

She sprang up from the sofa, leaning forward with her hands on her knees, her voice trembling with excitement: "Hehe, I'm not greedy, I only want five million. President Fu, with your vast empire, five million is just a drop in the ocean. For me, it's my lifelong security." As she spoke, she gestured with her hands, a smug smile of impending success spreading across her face.

Fu Yanchen raised an eyebrow slightly, the corner of his eyebrow arching upwards with a hint of disdain and disgust, but he quickly regained his cold and stern expression. He spoke coldly, his voice deep and powerful: "Fine, Lin Nuo, write her a check."

Standing to the side, Lin Nuo felt resentful upon hearing Fu Yanchen's order.

His brows were furrowed tightly, his eyes revealed anger and helplessness, and his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something to dissuade Fu Yanchen.

But he knew Fu Yanchen's temperament well; once he made a decision, it was hard to change it.

He gritted his teeth. Although he was unwilling, he would not go against Fu Yanchen's wishes.

Reluctantly, he pulled out his checkbook from his pocket, picked up a pen, quickly wrote down the amount of five million, tore off the check, threw it hard on the coffee table in front of Aunt Xu Xiaoxiao, and said irritably, "Take it and get out of here."

Aunt Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the check on the coffee table, her eyes sparkling with ecstatic joy. She couldn't wait to reach out and pick up the check, examining it closely as if to confirm its authenticity.

After confirming that everything was correct, she carefully folded the check, put it in her pocket, and then slowly stood up from the sofa, dusted off non-existent dust, and put on a fake smile.

"Alright! Since that's the case, I won't waste any more time. As long as I get the money, nothing else matters! Actually, if you had given me the money earlier, we wouldn't have had to go through all this trouble. Why did I have to make this extra trip? Sigh... what a waste of time! But it's okay, as long as I get my reward in the end!"

Lin Nuo... He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen anyone so brazen.

Aunt Xu Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, said something softly, and walked briskly toward the door.

Her slender figure gradually receded into the distance, as if she were about to disappear into the world outside the door.

However, just as she was about to step out the door, she suddenly stopped, as if blocked by an invisible force.

Then, she slowly turned around and stared intently at the people in the room.

A sly smile, barely perceptible, appeared on his face, like a fox that had successfully stolen some fish.

"Mr. Fu, I'm so sorry, but there's something I feel I should tell you."

"If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, say it quickly."

"You see, Charles is determined to divorce me anyway, so money doesn't hold any appeal for him. So... hehehe, it's best if you don't mention the reason I came to see you today! If he finds out, he might cause some trouble, which would be too much of a hassle! I don't want anything to happen to Xu Xiaoxiao either?"

“Heh…” Fu Yanchen sneered.

"Oh dear, I blurted out something like that, please don't take it to heart! Alright, it's getting late, I have to go now! I wish you all the best with your work, and we can chat again another time~ Bye-bye!"

Before she finished speaking, Aunt Xu Xiaoxiao turned and left again, leaving behind an enigmatic figure and a string of clear, melodious laughter.

He looked like a gambler who had just won a huge prize.

Fu Yanchen watched her departing figure, a chill running through his eyes.

Fu Yanchen sat quietly behind his desk, his gaze passing through the window into the distance, his eyes filled with deep contemplation.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao is pregnant with the fruit of their love, a fragile yet incredibly precious being, like a seed of hope that needs the most careful nurturing.

He knew in his heart that at this critical juncture, any rash action he took could be like a sudden storm, causing unpredictable harm to Xu Xiaoxiao and the baby in her womb.

Consider the five million as feeding the dogs; it should at least temporarily appease Aunt Xu Xiaoxiao's greedy heart.

His aunt Xu Xiaoxiao's actions were simply unbearable! The grievances in his heart surged like a tide, and the resentment clung to him like a venomous snake.

Nevertheless, he still harbored a sliver of hope for the five million—perhaps this money could temporarily appease that insatiable woman.

He secretly hoped that Xu Xiaoxiao would have a safe and peaceful pregnancy and successfully welcome the arrival of the new life.

He even secretly planned that once the child was born, once Xu Xiaoxiao recovered, and once everything settled down, he would never tolerate this woman continuing to cause trouble in their lives.

Lin Nuo stood aside, watching Fu Yanchen's furrowed brows and solemn expression, her anger burning ever brighter.

He couldn't bear to see that greedy and vicious woman so arrogant and domineering, and he felt even more sorry for Fu Yanchen for enduring so much for Xu Xiaoxiao and the child.

He gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say, "Mr. Fu, should we call the police? Let the police deal with this woman; her behavior is suspected of extortion."

"Or we could find someone to teach her a lesson, to let her know we're not to be trifled with, and that she shouldn't think she can threaten us so easily."

Lin Nuo's voice was filled with anger and urgency; he couldn't wait to make that woman receive the punishment she deserved.

Fu Yanchen slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at Lin Nuo, his eyes revealing a firmness and composure.

He shook his head slightly and said in a deep and powerful voice, "No need. Calling the police or finding someone to teach her a lesson now will only alert her and might even make her do something to hurt Xiaoxiao."

"Let her be arrogant for a while. In the meantime, we should take good care of Xiaoxiao and the child. That's the most important thing."

He paused, a cold glint in his eyes, and continued, "Once Xiaoxiao gives birth and recovers, I'll settle all the old and new scores with her. I'll make her pay a heavy price for everything she's done, and let her know that offending me and hurting Xiaoxiao was the biggest mistake of her life."

Fu Yanchen's words were filled with determination and ruthlessness, as if he could already see the scene of that woman finally being punished.

After hearing Fu Yanchen's words, Lin Nuo, though still somewhat unwilling, understood that Fu Yanchen's considerations were reasonable.

He nodded and said, "Mr. Fu, I understand. I will protect my wife and children and will not allow that woman to get close to them."

Fu Yanchen nodded slightly, secretly vowing to give Xu Xiaoxiao and the child a stable and happy life.

The relationship between Nan Weiwei and Nan Yifeng remained strained, with an invisible rift running between them like an insurmountable chasm that showed no signs of healing despite the passage of time.

During this time, Ye Junhao seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace.

He was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, initially creating ripples, but now even the last ripple has vanished without a trace.

There was no news of him, no updates from him, as if he had never existed in this city.

Nan Weiwei seemed completely unconcerned about Ye Junhao's disappearance.

She sat on a comfortable sofa, leisurely sipping coffee and flipping through a fashion magazine, her eyes revealing a faint indifference.

Anyway, she didn't have any special feelings for Ye Junhao to begin with, and when he suddenly appeared and started bothering her again, she felt annoyed.

Moreover, Ye Junhao is disabled, which makes him even less appealing to her.

She felt that Ye Junhao's disappearance was a relief for her. Finally, she no longer had to face his persistent pestering and no longer had to worry about how to get rid of him.

However, a vague unease welled up in Nan Yifeng's heart.

He always felt that Ye Junhao's disappearance was somewhat suspicious, and it didn't seem like a normal exit.

He worried that Ye Junhao might be up to something behind their backs, perhaps plotting some conspiracy to catch them off guard.

This unknown fear, like a dark cloud, loomed over his heart, making him feel extremely depressed.

In order to find out about Ye Junhao's situation and to dispel his own unease, Nan Yifeng sought out Fu Yanchen several times.

Every time they met, he couldn't wait to pour out all his worries, his eyes filled with urgency and anxiety.

"Fu Yanchen, you said Ye Junhao suddenly disappeared. What exactly happened? Could he be plotting something against us? I have a bad feeling that something big is about to happen."

As Nan Yifeng spoke, he kept rubbing his temples, trying to ease his inner tension.

Fu Yanchen sat to the side, listening quietly to Nan Yifeng's story. His face was expressionless, but his eyes revealed a calm and composed demeanor.

After Nan Yifeng finished speaking, he thought for a moment, then slowly opened his mouth, his voice low and powerful: "Yifeng, don't be anxious. Ye Junhao hasn't taken any action yet, so we can't panic. For now, we can only remain calm, closely monitor his movements, and see what he does. If he really has any ill intentions, we will have enough time and preparation to deal with them."

Nan Yifeng listened to Fu Yanchen's words and, although he was still somewhat uneasy, he felt that what he said made sense.

He nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

"Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll observe for a while. I hope Ye Junhao doesn't do anything excessive, otherwise, I won't let him off easily."

Following Fu Yanchen's advice, Nan Yifeng kept a close eye on Ye Junhao's news and secretly strengthened his own precautions.

Nan Weiwei continued her leisurely life, as if Ye Junhao's disappearance had nothing to do with her. However, neither of them knew that beneath this calm surface, an unknown storm was quietly brewing…
