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

Chapter 1422 Go back

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, are you lamenting life or counting the loneliness of the stars?"

Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly appeared from behind the two of them, interrupting their conversation with a bit of teasing and levity.

The dim yellow light shone on her shoulders, giving her nimble figure a silver edge.

Hearing this, Sister Na turned around and smiled, "It's not that literary, I was just chatting with Xiaomei. Xiaoxiao, you haven't gone home yet? The store is fine now, I'll check the accounts, and it will be almost done."

Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head, her hair fluttering gently in the night breeze, with a sense of unruliness: "I'm not going back. Let's have supper together tonight. Let's call Tiantian out too. It will be lively."

Sister Na was tidying up the clutter on the table while saying, "Tiantian is at her grandma's house and she's not coming back tonight. It's the same if the three of us go."

After saying that, she looked up at Xu Xiaoxiao, a barely perceptible trace of pity flashing in her eyes. Xiaoxiao had something hidden in her heart, but was unwilling to say more.

The three of them walked out of the store side by side. The night was as dark as ink and the street lights were dim, stretching their shadows long.

The barbecue stall was brightly lit and bustling with people, forming a sharp contrast with the quiet night.

They found a place to sit down, ordered some barbecue, and started chatting while waiting.

Suddenly, a clear and pleasant message alert sound rang out like a flash of lightning across the night sky, abruptly breaking the silence.

This sudden voice, like a sharp sword, pierced the seemingly calm atmosphere between Xu Xiaoxiao and Xiaomei.

The two people's bodies seemed to be under a spell. Almost at the same moment, they reached into their pockets and took out their cell phones.

Their movements were as fast as lightning, as if there was some rare treasure hidden in the phone, which would be snatched away by others if they hesitated for a moment.

This sudden action made the originally quiet environment instantly tense, as if a fierce competition was about to begin.

Sister Na...these two people...

Xiaomei's face blossomed with a smile like a blooming spring flower. The smile seemed to contain the shyness of a first blooming flower in spring, and was as sweet as honey.

She whispered, "Xiaoxiao... that's... my cell phone is ringing..."

Xu Xiaoxiao's gaze stayed on Xiaomei's face for a moment, then quickly moved away, and a trace of hard-to-conceal disappointment flashed in her eyes.

Loss was like a breeze that blew gently through her heart, making her heart feel like it was gently pulled by something.

She reacted extremely quickly. Almost in an instant, she adjusted her emotions, as if that sense of loss had never occurred.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, outlining a faint smile, with a hint of helplessness and relief in her smile, as if she had long been accustomed to such a situation.

Her voice was still gentle, but with a sense of pretending to be relaxed: "Yeah, I know... I was just checking the time... planning when to upload our stuff."

Her eyes flickered, avoiding Xiaomei's happy light, but could not escape Sister Na's sharp gaze.

Sister Na sighed inwardly: It's over, this girl Xu Xiaoxiao has fallen in love and can't extricate herself. I guess she will really be taken back by Mr. Fu after some time.

Sister Na's gaze lingered on Xiaomei's sweet smile for a moment, and a ripple appeared in her heart.

Could it be that this girl is also in love?

The corners of her mouth curled up into a playful smile, and she jokingly said, "Xiao Mei, who is this? Is he your boyfriend? Bring him out so we can meet him. I'll check him out for you, so you don't let any bad boy trick him away."

Upon hearing this, Xiaomei tapped her fingers rapidly on the phone screen, seeming to be immersed in the communication with the other party.

After she finally replied to the message, she looked up at Sister Na and Xu Xiaoxiao, with a shy blush on her face: "Oh, Sister Na, no, it's Brother Lu Feng..."

"Lu Feng..." Xu Xiaoxiao said.

"Well, didn't you forget that he had a bad stomach? The night my grandmother passed away, I even dragged him out to drink. I heard that he went back home and had an IV drip for three days... I'm going to apologize to him now."

"Indeed... you shouldn't have asked him to drink that night, and it's not good for you two to be alone together...

"Of course I know this, but I was...really upset that day so that's why I was like that...but thank God, it's not very serious, otherwise I would definitely feel guilty for the rest of my life until I die."

"You two... keep in touch often?" Sister Na asked.

"No, we just chatted. Brother Lu Feng is a good person with a good temper. Last time in the imperial capital, he helped me solve a troublesome matter."

"Oh?" Sister Na's eyes lit up, and she seemed very interested in this topic. "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Xiaomei smiled a little embarrassedly, and then told the whole story in detail.

It turned out that the last time Xiaomei was shopping outside, she accidentally bumped into someone. Not only did the other person not let her go, he also threatened to call someone to teach her a lesson.

Xiaomei was terrified at the time, and just when she was at a loss, Lu Feng happened to pass by and saw this scene.

Without saying a word, Lu Feng went straight up to the man to argue with him, and finally successfully helped Xiaomei out of the predicament.

Xiaomei was very grateful to Lu Feng. From that day on, the two of them would chat occasionally and their relationship gradually became closer.

After listening to this, Sister Na nodded and said with a smile: "So that's how it is. Lu Feng is indeed a warm-hearted person."

"Oh? Really?" Sister Na raised her lips slightly, looking at Xiaomei with a half-smile, "Then you have to thank her very much."

Xiao Mei nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I know, Sister Na. I also told Brother Lu Feng that I will definitely treat him to a meal when I have the chance."

Sister Na chuckled, "Little girl, you are quite grateful. Do you have any improper thoughts about me?"

Xiao Mei felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, and quickly waved her hands and said, "Sister Na, what are you talking about? Brother Lu Feng and I are just ordinary friends."

Seeing this, Sister Na stopped teasing Xiaomei and said earnestly, "I know you are a simple child, but people in society are not as simple as you. When you are in contact with Brother Lu Feng, you should be more careful and don't be deceived."

Xiaomei nodded seriously, "I remember, Sister Na. Thank you for your reminder, I will pay attention to it."

Her eyes were filled with gratitude and admiration for Lu Feng. Was it respect for an elder, or admiration for the opposite sex?

Perhaps, even she herself couldn't explain it clearly.

Sister Na looked at Xiaomei and laughed in her heart. She patted Xiaomei on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"It seems that our Xiaomei has grown up and started to have her own little secrets. However, if Lu Feng is really interested in you, you have to seize the opportunity. This kid is not bad."

Xu Xiaoxiao was listening on the side. She was quite impressed with Lu Feng's character and had some understanding of him.

She took a sip of her drink, a serious look in her eyes: "It's okay, Lu Feng is a good person, but his family background is a bit complicated."

"Is it complicated?" Xiaomei asked.

"Well, it's only a little bit, but it won't have much impact on your relationship."

"If you really want to develop a further relationship with him, then there is absolutely no problem! He is a very opinionated person, and he is also very smart. It's rare to find someone like him!"

"More importantly, he has completely severed ties with his family and has become completely independent! This means that if you two really want to be together, there won't be any major obstacles! So, as long as you really like each other, nothing else will be a problem!"

Having said that, Xu Xiaoxiao originally just wanted to give Xiaomei some encouragement so that she wouldn't be too nervous and feel inferior.

However, she had never expected Xiaomei's reaction to be so great.

Xiaomei's face seemed to be roasted by fire and turned red in an instant, like a cooked shrimp.

Xiaomei was obviously frightened by Xu Xiaoxiao's words. She waved her hands rapidly as if she had been electrocuted, as if trying to dispel the words that made her feel embarrassed.

Her eyes also became a little evasive, and she didn't dare to look directly into Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes. There was a hint of shyness and a bit of panic in her eyes.

"Xiaoxiao! You...you...what are you talking about?"

Xiaomei said quickly, her voice trembling slightly, "We are just friends, really just friends."

Her tone sounded a little hurried, as if she was afraid that Xu Xiaoxiao would misunderstand what she meant.

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing inwardly as she watched Xiaomei trying to distance herself from the matter.

She blinked her eyes deliberately and pretended to be innocent: "I didn't say anything, you are just overthinking it, right? Besides, even if we are just friends, there is still the possibility of further development, right?"

Xiaomei's face turned even redder when she heard this.

She lowered her head, twisting the corner of her clothes with her fingers nervously, and her voice trembled a little: "Xiaoxiao, stop joking. I know Brother Lu Feng is a good person, but I really don't have that kind of feeling towards him. We are just ordinary friends, that's all."

Sister Na watched the two little girls bickering and felt secretly happy in her heart.

She patted Xiaomei's shoulder gently and said with a smile: "Okay, don't be shy. Xiaoxiao was just joking. If you really have nothing to do, then there's no need to be so nervous. But then again, Lu Feng is a good guy. Xiaomei, if you really want to, you can give it a try."

Hearing this, Xiaomei shook her head like a rattle: "Sister Na, you are also joking with Xiaoxiao. I... am really... right... Brother Lu Feng doesn't... have that kind of feeling. We are just friends, really just friends, ordinary friends..."

Her eyes were full of determination, as if she was announcing this fact to the world.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Sister Na looked at each other and smiled. They both understood in their hearts that this little girl might not realize their feelings yet.

Seeing Xiaomei looking so shy as to find a hole to crawl into, Sister Na couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, Xiaomei, what's wrong with you? Why are you so shy?"

Sister Na laughed so hard that she almost cried.

Xiaomei's face turned red, she lowered her head, and kept fiddling with the corners of her clothes with her hands, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Alright, alright, Xiaoxiao, look at you, you've made Xiaomei so tickled."

Sister Na finally stopped laughing, and then said to Xiaoxiao next to her, "Look, Xiaomei's face is as red as a monkey's butt. If it continues like this, Xiaomei's face will be burned to death."

Xiaoxiao also felt that she had gone too far, so she quickly said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more."

"But, Xiaoxiao, let's get back to the topic. Can I ask you a question?"

Sister Na suddenly changed the subject, looked at Xiaoxiao with curiosity, and blinked her eyes mischievously.

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao waved her hand generously: "Well, go ahead and tell us. There are only a few of us, so why are you being so polite? If you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."

The corners of Sister Na's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smile, but that smile seemed a little far-fetched and complicated.

The moment her eyes met mine, there seemed to be a flash of indescribable emotion, which made people feel puzzled.

"Mr. Fu...he..."

Sister Na said softly, with a hint of hesitation in her tone, "Did he really say nothing when he left?"

Xu Xiaoxiao... "Yeah, just tell me to take good care of myself."

Sister Na....

"He...really left like this and let you stay in Lin City?" Sister Na's voice revealed a hint of disbelief, "I...can't quite believe it."

She paused, as if thinking about something, and then continued, "Based on his previous attitude, I really can't see that he will give up so easily."

"I guess he should retreat in order to advance... What do you think? Have you ever thought about... going back?"

Xu Xiaoxiao stared at Sister Na, not knowing what to say.

Go back? This thought flashed through Xu Xiaoxiao's mind, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.

She took a sip of her drink, was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke.

Xu Xiaoxiao lowered her head, her fingers gently stroking the rim of the cup, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes: "Actually, I am also hesitant, and I don't know what to do. Fu Yanchen has indeed changed a lot now, but his nature is still the same."

"I don't dare to have a complete falling out with him now, for fear that he will go crazy and ruin my store."

Sister Na and Xiaomei looked at each other and saw the worry in Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes.

Sister Na patted Xu Xiaoxiao's back gently and comforted her, "Xiaoxiao, we know your difficulties. Mr. Fu is a big shot after all. His temper and style of doing things are not something we can control. But don't be too wronged. You have to make a decision."

Xu Xiaoxiao laughed and shook his head: "Yeah, let's not talk about this. I know what you are worried about. Don't think too much. I have no plans to leave at the moment. Even if I really leave, I will make proper arrangements here."

Xiao Mei's eyes slightly reddened when she heard this, and her voice was choked with sobs: "Xiao Xiao, if you leave, we...we will miss you too."

Xu Xiaoxiao felt warm in her heart. Looking at Xiaomei's innocent appearance, she couldn't help but stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek: "Silly girl, why are you crying? I'm talking about hypotheticals, do you understand?"

Sister Na also nodded, with a firm light in her eyes: "Xiaoxiao, you are right. We are together, no matter what happens, we will support each other. If you really leave, if you trust us, we will help you take care of the coffee shop and wait for you to come back."

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the two good friends in front of her and felt slowly moved.
