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

Chapter 1356 Inheritance

Xu Xiaoxiao gently moved the phone away from her ear, and when the deafening roar subsided a little, she put it close to her ear again and asked in a teasing tone:

"Hey, uncle, what's wrong? You're so angry. Who made you angry? Be careful of a heart attack."

On the other end of the phone came the slightly aggrieved and helpless voice of the current foreign king, Xu Xiaoxiao's uncle:

"No, Xu Xiaoxiao, when will you come back to inherit the throne? At the beginning, I promised you that I would only take over temporarily, temporarily! You have been taking over for five years. Tell me, do you really not feel sorry for your uncle at all?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile. That smile showed both love for her uncle and helplessness about her own fate.

"Uncle, the throne is the symbol of supreme power! Possessing it means owning everything. You can control the fate of the country as you wish and enjoy endless wealth and glory. Isn't this what many people dream of? You can get whatever you want, how comfortable it is."

Xu Xiaoxiao persuaded earnestly on the other end of the phone.

However, my uncle was so angry on the other end of the phone that he kept humming: "Hmph, what's good about that! Do you think it's that easy to sit on the throne? Well, why don't you come back and do it? You just ran back to Daxia. Do you know that I have endless government affairs to deal with and endless documents to read every day, and I have to deal with all kinds of complicated interpersonal relationships and political struggles. I am almost fed up with these things!"

He paused, and then continued: "My dream is not to be a king, but to travel around the world on a bicycle, see the beautiful scenery, and experience different cultural customs. I want to live freely, not be bound by this throne."

Listening to her uncle's complaints, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling a little helpless.

She knew that he had never been very interested in the throne, but she still hoped that her uncle would consider it carefully. After all, the throne meant a lot to their family.

"Please have pity on my old bones. I fought hard to protect my brother. Although he died in the end... But... I have already guarded him for five years. He can be free now, right?"

As Xu Xiaoxiao listened to her uncle's complaints, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She knew that although her uncle complained, he actually loved her and respected her choice. So she said softly:

"Uncle, I know you've worked hard. But you also know that I still have a lot to do and a lot of dreams to realize. The throne is important, but for me, what's more important is to be able to pursue my dreams freely."

"Uncle also wants freedom." Uncle added on the other end of the phone, with a bit of emotion and helplessness in his voice.

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. Her laughter was a bit playful and witty: "Uncle, there is actually a solution. How about this? Find me an aunt as soon as possible, and then give birth to a younger brother, and let him inherit the throne. Then you can retire and pursue your freedom, right?"

When the uncle on the other end of the phone heard this, he was immediately in tears and laughter: "Get lost, girl, you only know how to make fun of your uncle. Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore, just like that, I'm hanging up."

After saying that, the uncle really hung up the phone, leaving Xu Xiaoxiao alone in the coffee shop, laughing at her phone which had gone black.

She knew that although her uncle said this, he actually loved her very much in his heart and respected her ideas.

Xu Xiaoxiao put away her phone, the smile on her face gradually faded, replaced by a deep thought.

She understood that she had to walk her own path in life.

The throne, freedom, dreams... these seemingly unattainable things are not something she desires at all. Otherwise, why would she find excuses every day not to go back?

She stood up, straightened her clothes, walked out of the coffee shop, and faced the unknown future.

The sunlight shone on her, covering her with a golden halo, as if indicating that no matter how many difficulties and challenges lay ahead, she would be able to face them bravely and ultimately find her own happiness and freedom.

Imperial Capital

The afternoon sun shines through the windows into the office area, creating patches of mottled light and shadow, making the entire space appear exceptionally peaceful.

During lunch break, the entire office area was shrouded in a quiet atmosphere.

Nan Weiwei looked around and found that her colleagues were all lying quietly on the table, some with their eyes closed, or taking a short nap.

Without the usual hustle and bustle, this place is like a corner forgotten by time, everything seems so calm and peaceful.

The sunlight shines through the window onto the ground, forming patches of mottled light and shadows.

Nan gazed at the lights and shadows, as if he could see time slowly flowing between them.

The air was filled with a faint aroma of coffee, the aftertaste left by colleagues' morning brew.

The fragrance becomes stronger in the silence, making people feel inexplicably comfortable and relaxed.

In this tranquility, Nan Weiwei could even hear her own heartbeat. The slight "thump thump" sound was particularly clear in this quiet environment.

She took a deep breath, feeling the tranquility of the moment, and letting her thoughts gradually settle.

"Take a nap." She said

She took out an eye mask to cover her eyes, then took out the love hug U-shaped pillow that Nan Yifeng bought for her, and gently placed it between her neck and the back of the chair, providing her with comfortable support.

She curled up slightly and leaned her head against the back of the chair, as if she was completely immersed in her own world, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.

For her, the most precious time of the day to recharge her energy is the rest time at noon.

Only at this time can she temporarily put down her heavy work and relax her body and mind for a moment.

However, this tranquility did not last long. A few people who had finished their lunch outside began to return to the office area one after another. Their footsteps, conversations, laughter... were like waves of noise, constantly impacting Nan Weiwei's eardrums.

Especially some people, they come back slowly, chatting as they go, their voices getting louder and louder, it is simply the noise in the quiet world, which is unbearable.

Nan frowned slightly and tried to cover her ears with her hands, but the sounds still stubbornly drilled into her ears, disturbing her.

She sighed softly and took off her blindfold reluctantly, with a look of fatigue and helplessness in her eyes.

At this time, the female colleague who instructed her to do her work every day spoke up...
