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

Chapter 1700 The Dream Ends

Nan Weiwei frowned as she watched Xiaomei's chat with netizens.

She noticed that throughout the entire conversation, Xiaomei was almost always the one trying to find topics to talk about, from everyday trifles to hobbies, from work troubles to life aspirations. Xiaomei was like a tireless explorer, trying to open the door to the other person's inner world.

The other person, on the other hand, simply answered her questions politely, with concise and clear replies, rarely taking the initiative to extend the topic, as if they were just completing a task.

The usual replies are things like "um," "okay," or "fine."

Nan Weiwei felt a little uneasy. She looked at Xiaomei's happy expression as she was engrossed in chatting. She couldn't bear to break this beautiful moment, but she was also worried that Xiaomei might get hurt.

After hesitating for a long time, she gently touched Xiaomei's arm and said cautiously, "Xiaomei, I think you should think carefully before you start dating. After all, it's a lifelong commitment and you can't be careless. To put it bluntly, it seems like you're always the one taking the initiative, and he... never takes the initiative to chat with you. Even if you two end up together, you... won't be happy."

Xiaomei looked up from her phone screen, a sweet smile still on her face, her eyes full of anticipation for this online romance.

She waved her hand gently and said, "It's okay, I know. He said he's very busy. You see, he always replies to my messages, it's just that it's quite late. I guess his job is quite special, he often has to work overtime, and sometimes he has to travel for work, so he can't reply to me in time. I can understand."

Nan Wei sighed softly, a hint of worry in her eyes. She continued, "It is indeed quite late, some are already the next day. Xiaomei, in this age of mobile phones, even if he's busy, if he really cares about you, he'll take some time to send you a message, right? Even just a simple 'good morning' or 'good night' would make you feel his care. But now, it's always you taking the initiative. Don't you feel tired?"

Xiao Mei lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously fiddling with her phone case, and remained silent for a moment.

How could she not have noticed these problems? Every time she sent a message full of anticipation, she would stare at her phone screen, eagerly waiting for the other party's reply. Only she knew the torment and disappointment she felt.

Sometimes, after waiting for a long time, she would even doubt whether she was being too proactive and whether she was annoying the other person.

But whenever the other party replies to a message, even if it's just a few simple words, she immediately puts aside her doubts and immerses herself in sweet fantasies again.

“Weiwei, I know you mean well.” Xiaomei looked up at Nan Weiwei. “But I really like him. I think he’s the one I’m looking for. Although he never initiates a conversation with me, he always replies very seriously. He answers my questions carefully and gives me advice and encouragement. I believe he likes me, he’s just not good at expressing it. Besides, feelings can be cultivated slowly. Maybe he’ll become more proactive in the future.”

Looking at Xiao Mei's persistent expression, Nan Weiwei felt both helpless and heartbroken.

In the face of love, people often become blind and stubborn. Xiaomei is now trapped in the beautiful dream of love she has woven herself and is unwilling to wake up.

She didn't want to forcefully persuade Xiaomei anymore, lest she offend her, so she changed her approach and said gently, "Xiaomei, I hope you can be happy. But you also need to think more about yourself and not just give unconditionally. In a relationship, both parties should be equal. If only you are putting in the effort, the relationship won't last. Find an opportunity to have a good talk with him, tell him your thoughts and feelings, and see what he thinks. If he truly wants to be with you, he needs to change this aspect of his personality."

Xiaomei nodded and smiled, saying, "Okay, Weiwei, I will. When we meet, I will have a good talk with him. Don't worry about me, I believe everything will be alright."

"Okay, you should arrange to meet him. Find a place with lots of people, have a quick meeting, and make things clear."

Nan Weiwei spoke to Xiaomei in a slightly serious tone.

She didn't believe from the bottom of her heart that the virtual world of the internet could nurture true love. In her view, there were too many unknowns and variables hidden behind the screen, and those sweet words were likely just a mirage.

Xiao Mei gently bit her lip, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, but she quickly nodded firmly.

She picked up her phone and quickly tapped her fingers on the screen, sending a message inviting the other party to meet.

After sending the message, she gripped her phone tightly, staring intently at the screen, as if that would make the other person reply faster.

This time, the reply came quickly, but it was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the flame of hope that had just been ignited in Xiaomei's heart.

"I'm away on a business trip, let's talk about meeting later!" These few words were like a sharp knife, piercing straight into Xiaomei's heart.

Her body trembled slightly, her eyes dimmed instantly, and her originally rosy cheeks turned as pale as paper.

Nan Weiwei felt a pang of pain in her heart when she saw Xiaomei's reaction.

She gently held Xiaomei's hand, trying to give her some warmth and strength, then frowned, "It seems he really doesn't want to see you, and has no intention of developing anything further. Girl, listen to me, this person isn't interested in you. If he liked you too, he definitely wouldn't want to avoid seeing you. Think about it, if you truly like someone, you can't wait to see them, and nothing can stop you from seeing them, no matter how far apart you are."

"But look at him... time and time again..."

"Just treat him as a friend, don't overthink it. And don't contact him proactively, there's absolutely no need, understand? J, taking good care of yourself is more important than anything else."

Xiao Mei kept her head down, a few strands of hair falling down and covering her disappointed face.

She could feel her eyes gradually welling up with tears, but she forced herself not to let them fall.

Finally, she nodded heavily, her voice choked with emotion, and said, "I understand. I won't be wishful anymore. I will love myself properly."

Nan Weiwei felt both heartache and anger as she looked at Xiaomei's distraught state.

She gently patted Xiaomei's shoulder and comforted her, "Xiaomei, don't be too sad. This isn't necessarily a bad thing. At least you've seen his true colors now, and you don't have to waste any more time and energy on this fruitless relationship. There are plenty of good men in the world, and you'll definitely meet someone who truly loves and cherishes you."

Xiao Mei slowly raised her head, forced a smile, and said, "Weiwei, thank you. I know you meant well. I thought I had met the right person, but it turned out to be just a dream."

Nan Weiwei hugged Xiaomei tightly and said, "It's good that you've woken up from the dream. From now on, focus on your work and improving yourself, making yourself more outstanding. When you become better, you will naturally attract more outstanding people."

Xiao Mei nodded, and the pain in her heart gradually subsided.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to a big meal," Nan Weiwei said, pulling Xiaomei out of the company gate, only to see someone...
