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

Chapter 1505 Grandma is leaving

Nan Yifeng's biological parents were full of enthusiasm and had carefully prepared a grand and solemn banquet, hoping to use it to express to Fu Yanchen the gratitude that was surging from the bottom of their hearts.

In their view, Fu Yanchen was undoubtedly a savior who came from the sky to help them when they were in trouble and on the verge of collapse.

However, Fu Yanchen declined the kindness. The Nan Group was the result of Nan Yifeng's adoptive parents' hard work and efforts over countless days and nights, step by step, to create its glory.

All he did was to protect the Nan family, because the Nan family was Xu Xiaoxiao's maternal family. If anything happened to the Nan family, Xu Xiaoxiao would definitely be worried and unable to sleep or eat.

In his heart, this friendship does not need to be measured by a banquet. Such gratitude seems too awkward, as if it has created a rigid barrier between the two people.

Furthermore, Fu Yanchen's life rhythm is tight and orderly. In the company, he is decisive and efficient in handling various complicated business affairs. He is regarded as a powerful business elite by everyone.

Once he left the company, he transformed into a gentle and considerate husband, devoting all his free time to Xu Xiaoxiao without reservation.

They may stroll hand in hand along the park path in the afterglow of the sunset, enjoying the tranquility and warmth; or they may snuggle up in a cozy home, reading a good book together and sharing every bit of life.

In his heart, accompanying Xu Xiaoxiao is the most important thing in his life, and he really can't spare the time to attend this banquet.

Time is like a gurgling stream, flowing forward silently but unwaveringly. On a quiet morning, the first snow since the beginning of winter quietly fell from the sky of the imperial capital.

The fluttering snowflakes, like light dancers, dance in the air, and then slowly fall to the earth, covering the entire city with a layer of flawless white attire.

Xu Xiaoxiao sat quietly on the chair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Xu Xiaoxiao remembered that Fu Yanchen used to like sitting here. At that time, she didn't understand why it was just a seat and there was no good place to sit.

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't understand. Whenever there were troubles in life that hung over her heart like dark clouds, Fu Yanchen would always come here and sit quietly, as if he could find inner peace and answers in this open view.

During the years when Xu Xiaoxiao was imprisoned, this chair became Fu Yanchen's "safe haven". He spent countless quiet nights here, accompanied by the cold moonlight outside the window and endless longing, silently waiting for Xu Xiaoxiao's return.

Xu Xiaoxiao sat here and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window, where she could see the entire Fu family compound.

The flowers, plants and trees in the garden are now covered with white snow, like a scene from a fairy tale world, so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated.

You can also see the location of the gate outside the courtyard. Occasionally, pedestrians walk by in a hurry, leaving a series of deep and shallow footprints, which are soon filled with newly fallen snowflakes.

Xu Xiaoxiao understood. Fu Yanchen used to watch her go to and from school here. At night, he would secretly climb over the wall with Asu, and then secretly climb over the wall back, and then...he caught them red-handed.

There is also an old tree in the yard that has experienced many vicissitudes of life. No one knows who planted it. Maybe it was planted by Grandpa Fu Yanchen, or maybe even further away. Anyway, in Xu Xiaoxiao's memory, this tree was already very big when she first arrived at the Fu family.

She had even climbed up a tree to rob bird nests and burn beehives. Once, she almost fell down and was severely spanked by Fu Yanchen. After that, she never dared to climb again.

The thick branches are covered with crystal clear snowflakes, as if time has covered it with a layer of silver armor.

Covered in white snow, the old tree looks like a wise old man, standing quietly in the snow, witnessing the passage of time.

Looking out at the Fu family compound from here, the scene has a unique charm, as if the whole world has become pure and beautiful, and all the troubles and sorrows are buried by the white snow.

Xu Xiaoxiao was intoxicated by the novelty and joy brought by the falling snow. She opened the window as innocently as a child and stretched out her hand impatiently.

Crystal clear snowflakes, one after another, gently fell on her palm and instantly turned into drops of cold water. The coolness spread along her fingertips, making her have a lot of fun. A playful smile bloomed on her face.

Just when she was having fun, she suddenly felt a warm touch on her shoulder, as if she was gently covered by a soft cloud.

She subconsciously looked back, and what caught her eye was Fu Yanchen's gentle and affectionate face.

He had just come back from outside, with some tiny snowflakes hanging on the ends of his hair, and his body was also slightly chilled by the biting cold wind outside.

A woolen cape was draped over Xu Xiaoxiao.

Fu Yanchen's brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was troubled by something, but his eyes were full of concern.

His voice was soft and gentle, as if he was afraid of waking something, and he whispered softly: "It's so cold outside, why did you open the window?"

There was a delicate concern in his words, which seemed to be not only because of the cold outside, but also because of his worry about someone.

"Feeling bored?"

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Well, when the snow stops, I'll take you out for a walk. It's really uncomfortable to be stuck at home all day like this."

Staying indoors for a long time may make people feel depressed and bored, so he took the initiative to take her out for a walk so that Xu Xiaoxiao could breathe fresh air and relax.

Fu Yanchen's voice was low and mellow, like the warm sun in winter, warming Xu Xiaoxiao's heart.

He reached out and gently closed the window. His movements were gentle and skillful, as if he was afraid of disturbing the moment of tranquility.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at him, a warm feeling surged in her heart, and the corners of her mouth rose unconsciously, that smile was full of happiness and dependence.

She knew that no matter when or where, Fu Yanchen would always be like this, silently guarding her by her side, protecting her from wind and rain, and giving her endless warmth and care.

Fu Yanchen is still like a high-speed precision instrument, tied up in heavy work every day and kept busy all the time.

Xu Xiaoxiao was already frail and pregnant, so she felt sleepy in waves. Unable to hold on any longer, she went back to her room to rest.

The next day, when the first ray of morning light gently fell on her face through the gap in the curtains, Xu Xiaoxiao slowly woke up. The bedding beside her had long lost its temperature. Fu Yanchen had quietly left again at some point.

She walked to the window and looked out. The world outside was still covered in silver. Snowflakes were still falling, like a group of white elves dancing in the air.

Xu Xiaoxiao yawned and walked downstairs slowly.

As soon as I walked downstairs, I saw that my grandma had already gotten up and was standing in the living room sorting clothes.

She couldn't help but feel puzzled, so she walked up to her and asked, "Grandma, why are you getting up so early? And how are you packing?"

Grandma slowly put down what she was busy with, her movements seemed a little slow, as if her body became heavy at that moment.

She slowly raised her head and looked into the distance with a dazed look, as if she was thinking about something.

After a while, grandma sighed softly, and that sigh revealed a hint of helplessness and tiredness.

Finally, grandma spoke, her voice slightly lowered: "Alas, I have to go to your uncle's house."

The tone was calm, but it contained an unspeakable emotion.

After saying this, grandma sat silently for a while, as if sorting out her thoughts, and then slowly stood up.

"uncle?"

Xu Xiaoxiao's brows furrowed instantly when she heard this, her eyes filled with worry and dissatisfaction. "What are you doing out here in the snow? Besides, have you forgotten everything he did to you before? I remember his sarcastic face and all the inappropriate things he did to you. It's not like Fu Yanchen can't support you."

The old lady sighed deeply, and the sound seemed to carry endless helplessness and fatigue.

She said slowly, "Actually, I really don't want to go back at all, but he keeps calling and texting me every day. My phone is almost bombarded with his messages and calls."

As she spoke, she shook her head helplessly, with a hint of annoyance on her face.

"I'm really fed up with him, and I'm also worried that he'll find his way here and disturb your pregnancy. You're pregnant now and need a quiet, comfortable environment to rest your baby. If he comes, it will definitely affect your mood and it won't be good for the baby in your belly."

The old lady's gaze fell on the other's slightly bulging belly, and a hint of worry flashed in her eyes.

"So, I decided to go back and see what's going on with him. If... he really wants to keep me and treat me well, then I might not come back, after all..."

Her tone was a little hesitant, as if she was still a little uncertain about the decision, but she finally made up her mind.

Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes were calm, and she had already seen through her uncle's plan.

She walked gently to her grandmother's side, took her rough but warm hand, and said with concern and determination: "Grandma, if he calls, just block him directly. Don't let those annoying calls and messages disturb our peaceful life again. Do you think he dares to come to the Fu family to cause trouble?"

"Not only that, I have to kindly advise you not to go back. How could a man like him suddenly have a change of heart and take you away and continue to support you? In fact, we both know it like a mirror in our hearts. He definitely has other motives for doing this, and it's definitely not just a desire to fulfill his filial duty. From the moment he kicked you out, you should have known what kind of person he is."

"You know, what he really covets is Fu Yanchen's power and status! He just wants to take advantage of the relationship between you and Fu Yanchen to cling to Fu Yanchen and seek some personal gain. How can you trust such a person? So, listen to my advice, don't go back, lest he use you without knowing it.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if there was a dark cloud in her heart, making people feel a little depressed. There was a hint of worry in her eyes, as if she was deeply worried about what she was going to say next.

She paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "With his temper, once he finds out that he can't get any benefits or gain any advantages from Fu Yanchen and me, with his greedy and scoundrel nature, he will definitely not give up."

There was a hint of helplessness in Xu Xiaoxiao's voice, as if she had anticipated this result.

However, his words also revealed his understanding of that person. He knew that he would not give up easily and would definitely try his best to achieve his goal.

"Grandma, we can't let our guard down now. No matter what, we have to wait until I give birth to the baby. Only when the baby is born safely can our whole family rest assured. If you rush back now and something goes wrong, how can I be at ease? Grandma, what do you think?"

Xu Xiaoxiao held her grandmother's hand tightly, as if this could give her more strength and courage, and let her understand that in this family, they are each other's most important support.

The old lady snorted coldly, her voice full of contempt and disdain, as if the uncle she mentioned was just an insignificant ant.

"How could I not know his evil ambitions? I've seen through his little schemes long ago. I just want to dash his hopes. What kind of a jerk is he? He doesn't even know his own worth, yet he still wants to take advantage of you! Does he deserve it? I don't know why I was so blind back then."

Having said that, the old lady paused slightly, looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with a complicated look, with a hint of helplessness and loneliness in her eyes.

"Actually, Xiaoxiao, do you know? Living in this seemingly luxurious place, even though I live a life of luxury every day, with the best food, clothing, and everything else, I still feel an indescribable emptiness and uneasiness in my heart."

"Everything here seems so perfect. The rooms are spacious and bright, the furniture is exquisite and gorgeous, the servants are respectful and polite, and life seems carefree."

"However, behind this superficial prosperity, I feel like a passerby. Although I have material satisfaction, I have lost the true freedom and peace in my heart."

"No matter how wonderful the environment here is, it's not a place where I can truly take root. There are no streets or neighbors I'm familiar with, no memories or stories of my childhood, no friends or family I can confide in. Here, I'm just a lonely existence, completely out of tune with everything around me."

She gently patted Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, as if to encourage herself, or as if to make arrangements for her funeral arrangements.

"Don't worry, since I've decided to leave, I will handle the relationship between you and me cleanly and won't make things difficult for you."

"That guy is a complete scoundrel, like a dog-skin plaster; once you get on him, it's hard to get rid of him. If we don't take some strong measures to make him give up, I'm afraid he won't give up. He will definitely do everything he can to harass you and make your life uneasy."

I'm already this old, it doesn't matter. My health is not as good as it used to be. He calls me every day to harass me. How can I bear this kind of mental torture? I just hope that in the rest of my life, I can live a little more comfortably, no longer be troubled by these messy troubles, and spend the rest of my life in peace and stability.

"grandmother....."
