Chapter 1633 No Privileges
Chapter 1633 No Privileges
Fu Yanchen was already frowning because of Nan Weiwei's nagging. Now, hearing her still muttering endlessly, he finally couldn't take it anymore and coldly said, "Nan Weiwei, if you keep nagging, my family won't allow you to come."
His voice was deep and authoritative, carrying an unquestionable sense of command, instantly freezing the air in the entire restaurant.
Nan Weiwei was startled by the sudden warning, and her mouth, which had been babbling on and on, instantly shut up as if it had been locked.
She playfully stuck out her tongue, made a face, and then obediently lowered her head, pretending to eat seriously, but her slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed her inner panic.
Looking at Nan Weiwei's expression, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but chuckle softly, then gently said to Fu Yanchen, "Yanchen, don't be so serious. Weiwei just likes to joke around."
Upon hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's words, Fu Yanchen's coldness instantly dissipated. He smiled gently at Xu Xiaoxiao, his eyes full of doting affection.
Afterwards, Xu Xiaoxiao and Fu Yanchen chatted for a while longer, talking about their baby's daily life and anecdotes from their work. Their conversation was warm and sweet, and they reluctantly ended the video call at the end.
After the video call ended, Nan Weiwei, who had just been lively and energetic, suddenly seemed like a completely different person, and her whole demeanor became listless.
She slumped listlessly on the dining table, her head resting on her arm, making muffled sobs: "Xiaoxiao... Waaah, so sad."
Her voice was soft and weak, filled with deep grievance and sadness.
Xu Xiaoxiao was clearing the table when she heard Nan Weiwei's voice. She quickly put down what she was doing, frowned, and walked over to her side, asking with concern, "Weiwei, what's wrong? Why are you so sad all of a sudden?" She gently patted Nan Weiwei's shoulder, her eyes full of worry.
Nan Wei slowly raised her head, her eyes red-rimmed, like a pitiful little rabbit.
She pursed her lips, her voice choked with emotion, and said, "Xiaoxiao, do you know? I... today, I saw Nan Yifeng at his company."
Xu Xiaoxiao was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected that Nan Weiwei's sadness was related to Nan Yifeng.
She paused, then asked cautiously, "And then? You two... made up?"
She both hoped that Nan Weiwei and Nan Yifeng could reconcile, and worried that Nan Weiwei would be hurt again.
Nan shook her head slightly and gently, as if trying to shake off those heartbreaking memories, but her eyes were always filled with endless loneliness and sorrow.
"No... how could they possibly reconcile? He... he..."
Did he bully you?
"Waaah... Actually, no, but... it's much worse than being bullied."
Xu Xiaoxiao,,,
“Weiwei… do you know? I’ve fantasized countless times about what it would be like to see him again. Back then, I naively thought that I could act completely nonchalant and face everything with ease.”
"Hmm, shouldn't lovers be like this?"
"But... when I actually stood in front of him, all my beautiful fantasies shattered like bubbles—we really became complete strangers after the breakup! This sudden sense of estrangement broke my heart, and I couldn't even bear it. I wanted to cry, sob sob sob."
Xu Xiaoxiao,,,,
"Xiaoxiao, do you know? Nan Yifeng... his gaze towards me has become icy cold, as if it can penetrate one's soul, making one feel cold all over."
"I even feel like when he looks at me now, it's like I'm a complete stranger! This feeling is really painful. We used to be so close, but now we're like complete strangers..."
"I guess he hasn't completely forgotten you yet?" Xu Xiaoxiao explained, adding that she didn't really understand matters of the heart.
"Today, Lu Feng asked me to deliver some important documents that require his signature for confirmation. This person used to have a close relationship with me. However, when I arrived at his company and met him, I couldn't help but feel a sense of loss."
“He clearly saw me. In the instant our eyes met, I even caught a glimpse of surprise and avoidance. But then, he continued working as if nothing had happened, as if I didn’t exist at all. At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and I was left standing alone in the whole world.”
"I tried to convince myself that it was just a misunderstanding or a coincidence, but the facts were right in front of me, leaving no room for self-deception. So, I waited outside the door for a whole afternoon without any movement."
“Looking back, he took great care of me and gave me endless privileges. Back then, I could come and go from his office at will, without appointments or waiting, and enjoy the satisfaction that came with special treatment.”
"Now, everything has changed, and I can't even speak without tears. Facing such a huge gap, it was indeed hard to accept at first, and my heart was in unbearable pain. But life must go on, and I can't stay stuck in the past forever."
"Perhaps only by experiencing these setbacks and hardships can one truly grow! Although the process is extremely difficult, I firmly believe that one day I will gradually get used to this change and find my place again."
As Nan Weiwei spoke, she wiped away tears from the corners of her eyes, a sight that broke one's heart.
Xu Xiaoxiao gently pulled Nan Weiwei into her arms and said tenderly, "Weiwei, don't be sad. Since you've already broken up, it means you two might really not be right for each other. His current attitude is hurtful, but it's also a choice he made. You have to believe that you will definitely meet someone who truly understands and cherishes you in the future. Besides, you still have me. I will always be by your side."
Nan Wei leaned against Xu Xiaoxiao's chest, listening to her warm words, and gradually felt better. She nodded and said, "Xiaoxiao, thank you. I really feel at ease with you by my side. I will slowly get through this and start a new life." After saying that, she raised her head, a strong smile on her face.
Xu Xiaoxiao sighed softly and shook her head slowly, her eyes full of heartache and regret. She gently patted Nan Weiwei's shoulder and said earnestly, "Weiwei, look at you. When you made the decision to break up, you were so decisive and ruthless that you startled all of us friends around you."
“We all know that you have always been a very opinionated and decisive person, but after this incident, we can’t help but wonder if your actions this time were a bit too rash and impulsive?”
"You did witness him kissing Li Shanshan, but it was just a simple kiss."
"Besides, what you see is just a picture! In this day and age, with such advanced photography technology, who can guarantee that this so-called 'evidence photo' wasn't deliberately photoshopped to frame Yi Feng and try to sow discord between you two? We absolutely cannot hastily draw conclusions about this hard-won relationship or even sentence it to death just because of such a seemingly real photo!"
As Xu Xiaoxiao spoke, she took Nan Weiwei's hand and made her sit down next to her, her eyes full of concern.
She paused slightly, as if considering what to say next, and then continued, "Weiwei, do you remember? Yifeng promised you he would explain everything to you! He must have been extremely anxious back then, wishing he could fly to you immediately and tell you the whole story so you would understand and no longer have any doubts or misunderstandings. However, the result was completely different—you didn't give him any chance to speak at all, and chose to part ways with him without hesitation."
I know your temperament; you have an intolerable aversion to betrayal, and you always maintain a pure and sincere emotional attitude.
"In your eyes, love is as precious as a flawless jade, and any impurity would dim its luster; not even a grain of sand can be mixed in and tarnish this beauty."
"This persistence and dedication is not only a shining point in your character, but also powerful proof that you are extremely serious and responsible in your relationships!"
"But... Weiwei... you like Yifeng so much, you're willing to give so much for him, you've experienced so many wonderful times together, all those little memories, are you really going to erase them all just because of this potentially problematic photo?"
“You just broke up with me like that. How painful it must have been for you afterward. Every time I saw you lost in thought or secretly wiping away tears, my heart ached for you.”
"How did you manage to get through these days after the breakup? Those streets we walked together, the movies we watched together, the laughter and tears we shared—now, when you think about them, doesn't it feel like tiny knives cutting into your heart?"
As Xu Xiaoxiao spoke, her eyes reddened slightly. She held Nan Weiwei's hand tightly, as if that would give her some strength.
She looked at Nan Weiwei gently and said softly, "Weiwei, why don't you think about it again and find an opportunity to sit down with Yi Feng and talk things out calmly to get to the bottom of things?"
"Maybe there really is some huge misunderstanding. If you still can't forgive him after talking it out, it's not too late to break up. At least that way, when you look back in the future, you won't regret not giving each other a chance to explain."
Nan Weiwei slowly shook her head, her hair swaying gently with the movement. Her eyes were filled with determination and loneliness, and her voice, though slightly choked, remained firm: "I won't talk about it anymore. It's pointless. Talking about it again would just tear open those scabbed wounds and cause me pain all over again. I don't want to go through that kind of torment again."
Looking at Nan Weiwei's appearance, Xu Xiaoxiao felt as if an invisible hand had clenched her heart. She frowned anxiously, her lips trembling slightly, and said urgently, "But, you... what are you going to do? You can't keep pretending like this. In the days since the breakup, I've seen you become more and more depressed, and you've lost all your energy. I'm really worried about you."
Nan Wei raised her hand and forcefully wiped away her tears, the action carrying a hint of determination, as if she wanted to erase all the pain.
She took a deep breath and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "What can we do? Just tough it out. Life has to go on, right? We can't let a man ruin us."
Xu Xiaoxiao said, "Why bother? You two are clearly so in love."
At this point, a flicker of pain and confusion crossed Nan Weiwei's eyes. She paused slightly before continuing, "Weiwei, do you know what I was thinking back then? Actually, I didn't care much about that kiss itself; it was just a fuse that lit a powder keg."
"What truly stirred up endless fear and extreme disgust in the depths of my heart was something deeper and more hidden behind that kiss—perhaps it is precisely this mystery that makes people feel so uneasy and fearful!"
"I was filled with anxiety, fearing that he was secretly having affairs with other women behind my back; I was filled with apprehension, worried that all the care he showed me was nothing but a pretense; I was filled with trepidation, wondering if he had already betrayed our vow of unwavering love, while I, in my pitiful ignorance, remained completely oblivious."
Xu Xiaoxiao quickly reached out and grasped Nan Weiwei's hand, wanting to give her some warmth and strength. She said earnestly, "No, Nan Yifeng isn't that kind of person. We've known him for so long, and we know his character very well. He's always been serious about relationships and would never betray someone so easily."
Nan Wei smiled bitterly, the smile more painful than a grimace, and slowly said, "Yes, I know. In everyone's eyes, he is a good man, and I used to think so too."
"The moment I received the photo, it was as shocking as a lightning bolt ripped through the night sky! All my trust in him crumbled and vanished in an instant."
"It felt like a once indestructible, towering tower had suddenly collapsed, shattered into pieces. An uncontrollable surge of emotion welled up inside me—I was absolutely certain of it."
"He... must be having affairs with other women in secret! All those vows of eternal love, sweet words, and meticulous care were probably just things he used to please many women, and I was just one of them..."
"At this point, my reason was gradually consumed by madness, and I became more and more convinced that he was the kind of philanderer who was hard to change, and that no matter how he pretended to be a gentleman, it would be of no use."
"Besides, he's so outstanding... there must be many outstanding women around him. As for me, I feel more and more that I'm not good enough for him."
“I’m afraid I’ll become more and more subservient in front of him, and lose myself more and more. So, it’s better to end it now than to suffer for a long time. Breaking up might be the best choice. At least I can still retain a little bit of dignity.”
After Nan Weiwei finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes again. She buried her head in Xu Xiaoxiao's arms, her body trembling slightly, like a wounded little animal seeking comfort.
