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

Chapter 1679 Afraid of Fu Yanchen

For the next few days, Xu Xiaoxiao was like a prisoner confined in a magnificent cage, spending all her time in the hospital.

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't stand this boring and tedious life any longer. She suddenly sat up in bed and angrily shouted at Fu Yanchen, who was processing documents beside her, "Fu Yanchen, I want to be discharged! It's so boring in the hospital!"

She imagined the bustling streets outside, the tempting aromas emanating from the food stalls, while she was trapped in this small hospital room. This disparity almost drove her to the brink of collapse.

Upon hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's call, Fu Yanchen immediately put down the documents in his hand, looked up at her with heartache.

He also longed for Xu Xiaoxiao to be discharged from the hospital and enjoy the free air and sunshine outside.

But the situation is special now. The mastermind hiding in the shadows is like a time bomb, which could harm Xu Xiaoxiao at any time.

He walked helplessly to Xu Xiaoxiao's side, gently took her hand, and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, hang in there a little longer. It will be fine once the danger is over. It's too dangerous for you to be discharged now. I can't let you take that risk. Be good, okay?"

"Ahhhhh..." Xu Xiaoxiao became even more agitated after hearing Fu Yanchen's words.

She held her head in her hands and kept twisting her body on the hospital bed, like a small animal trapped in a cage, bored to the point of madness.

She kept throwing pillows on the floor and kicking blankets aside, muttering, "When will this ever end? I'm going crazy!"

Fu Yanchen felt a pang of pain in his heart as he watched Xu Xiaoxiao lose control.

"Xiaoxiao, I know you're upset. Can you just bear with it a little longer? Once things are settled, I'll take you anywhere you want to go and let you eat whatever you want."

"Then... let's go now."

"Smile..."

Just then, the door to the ward was gently pushed open, and Hou's mother walked in carrying a thermos.

She would cook soup and bring it to the hospital every day, just so that Xu Xiaoxiao could drink nutritious and delicious soup.

Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao's frantic state, Hou's mother said with heartache, "Xiaoxiao, don't worry, I made you your favorite lotus root and pork rib soup, drink some while it's hot."

Fu Yanchen quickly stood up and took the thermos from Hou's mother, saying, "Hou's mother, you go to so much trouble to bring soup every day. You really don't need to go to so much trouble. I've already spoken to the hospital cafeteria. The chef is from my hotel and can cook anything, so you can rest assured."

Mrs. Hou smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Sir, I know you've made thorough arrangements, but I'm still worried. No soup from outside can compare to homemade soup. Xiaoxiao is weak right now and is about to give birth, so she needs to be properly nourished."

As she spoke, she opened the thermos, ladled the steaming soup into a bowl, and handed it to Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiaoxiao took the bowl and looked at Hou's mother's kind face, and her irritation immediately dissipated.

She took a sip of the soup, and the delicious flavor spread in her mouth, making her exclaim, "Aunt Hou, your soup is so delicious. You always love me the most."

Fu Yanchen, "I love you too."

"Hmph, you feel sorry for me, so you lock me up here?"

Fu Yanchen,,,,

Watching the two bicker, Mrs. Hou smiled and patted Xu Xiaoxiao's head, saying, "Silly child, we all love you. Drink more and take good care of your health."

Landwind's company

As it approached the end of the workday, the employees did not exhibit the usual tense, busy, or overtime-chasing atmosphere.

Lu Feng walked into the office area, glanced around the office, and then said loudly, "It's time to go home. No one is working overtime. If you're not going to work overtime, then get out. We don't have money to pay overtime, and I prefer flexible working hours."

As soon as he said that, laughter and cheers erupted in the office.

The employees began packing their belongings, their faces beaming with joy.

Lu Feng's flexible work system is not only liked by him, but also highly praised by his employees.

In this fast-paced, high-pressure society, having such a relatively flexible work schedule is undoubtedly a rare blessing.

People are no longer bound by rigid get off work hours and can flexibly arrange their work time according to their own pace of life and work status, which not only improves work efficiency but also makes life more colorful.

Nan Weiwei was among them, and she was methodically organizing the documents and office supplies on her desk.

After packing her things, she stood up, stretched, and prepared to leave the office.

Just then, Xiaomei suddenly called out to her, "Weiwei, wait a minute."

Xiao Mei's voice was somewhat urgent, tinged with hesitation. She wore a lively ponytail and light makeup, and was looking at Nan Weiwei with anticipation.

Nan Weiwei stopped and turned around, smiling as she asked, "What's wrong? Xiaomei's home?"

Nan Weiwei looked puzzled, wondering why Xiao Mei had suddenly called her over.

Xiaomei rubbed her hands together a little shyly, then said, "Weiwei, I haven't been to see Xiaoxiao since her accident. Today... could you come with me? I feel a little embarrassed to go alone."

Her voice grew softer and softer, and a blush crept onto her face, revealing a hint of shyness.

Nan Weiwei frowned slightly upon hearing this, feeling somewhat puzzled.

She looked at Xiaomei and asked, "Why are you embarrassed? It's not like you just met Xiaoxiao yesterday. Didn't you two get along quite well before?"

The girls often chat and eat together, so Xiaomei shouldn't feel embarrassed about visiting Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xiao Mei bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Her...husband...Mr. Fu is a bit scary."

A hint of fear flickered in her eyes, as if mentioning Fu Yanchen would remind her of something terrible.

Nan Weiwei was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but laugh.

She remembered that Xiaomei had told her before that Fu Yanchen wasn't a bad person, he just seemed a bit serious. Why did he seem scary now?

She looked at Xiao Mei and teased, "But I remember you said Fu Yanchen isn't a bad person, so why... do you find him scary now?" Nan Weiwei's eyes flashed with a playful light.

Xiao Mei blushed even more after hearing Nan Weiwei's words. She hurriedly explained, "Oh, Weiwei, he's not a bad person, but his aura is just too strong. Every time I see him, I feel like I'm facing an iceberg, so cold that I don't dare to breathe."

"Moreover, I've heard that he's ruthless and decisive in the business world. As a lowly employee, I'd definitely be incredibly nervous in front of him."

Her speech quickened, as if she wanted to pour out all her worries at once.

Nan Weiwei couldn't help but laugh again at Xiaomei's cute yet nervous appearance. She stepped forward, patted Xiaomei's shoulder, and said, "Okay, okay, don't be nervous. Fu Yanchen may look serious, but he's actually a nice person."

"Besides, I'm here to give you courage. Let's go see Xiaoxiao together."

Xiao Mei's eyes flashed with gratitude after hearing Nan Weiwei's words. She nodded vigorously and said, "Okay, Weiwei, thank you. Let's go then."

After saying that, she picked up the gift she had prepared and walked out of the office with Nan Weiwei.

Hospital

Xu Xiaoxiao's ward

The television screen was on, and Xu Xiaoxiao lay listlessly on the hospital bed, her eyes fixed on the screen, which was playing a childish cartoon that could pass the time.

She was wearing a loose hospital gown, her hair was casually tied into a ponytail, and she looked somewhat lazy and listless.

Her once bright eyes had lost much of their sparkle, and she yawned frequently, clearly suffering greatly from the monotonous hospital life.

Fu Yanchen had to leave the hospital temporarily because of urgent company matters.

Outside the ward, several bodyguards dressed in black suits and with upright postures stood straight behind the door like statues, their eyes scanning the surroundings warily, not missing any possible signs of danger.

They strictly followed Fu Yanchen's instructions and did not allow anyone to enter the ward without permission.

Just then, Nan Weiwei and Xiao Mei arrived at the hospital. When they reached the door of the ward, they were stopped by the bodyguards without any mercy.

"Weiwei... have we come to the wrong place?"

“No… he’s one of Fu Yanchen’s men,” Nan Weiwei said.

Xiao Mei glanced at the group of bodyguards, who all stood expressionless in front of them.

Nan frowned slightly, feeling somewhat displeased. She raised her voice and shouted into the ward, "Xiaoxiao, tell your people to let us in!"

Xu Xiaoxiao was engrossed in the world of the cartoon when Nan Weiwei's shout startled her.

She rubbed her ears before realizing that it was Nan Weiwei who had arrived.

Excitedly, she jumped off the hospital bed, ran to the door in a few strides, flung it open, and looked at Nan Weiwei with sparkling eyes, exclaiming, "Ahhh, Weiwei, I've missed you so much!"

After saying that, Xu Xiaoxiao turned to the bodyguards with a grin and said, "Hehe, bodyguard brothers, let my sister and friends in!"

Her tone was pleading, and she blinked her eyes at the bodyguards, hoping they would make an exception.

The bodyguards looked troubled after hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's words.

One of the leading bodyguards hesitated for a moment, then said, "Madam, this..."

There was a conflict in his eyes. On the one hand, he didn't want to go against Xu Xiaoxiao's wishes, but on the other hand, he didn't dare to disobey Fu Yanchen's instructions.

They knew their boss's temper all too well. If something happened to Xu Xiaoxiao because of their negligence, they would be in deep trouble.

Nan Weiwei noticed the bodyguard's predicament. She stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, please be lenient. We really are Xiaoxiao's good friends and won't bring her any danger. Besides, I'll explain to Fu Yanchen."

The bodyguards looked at each other, still somewhat hesitant.
