Chapter 1632 The Fake Fu Yanchen
Chapter 1632 The Fake Fu Yanchen
Nan Weiwei had no idea whether Xiao Mei had actually met her mysterious online friend.
After separating from Xiaomei, Nanweiwei felt that same vexation again, like a tangled mess that she couldn't untangle.
She thought to herself, "When people are in a bad mood, everything in the world seems to lose its color and vitality. But only delicious food that makes their mouths water and smells wonderful can soothe their souls and calm their emotions! And when it comes to dishes that truly suit my taste and mood, I'm afraid it has to be the food at Xu Xiaoxiao's house! After all, her family is famous for their superb culinary skills!"
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile contentedly. And what's more, Xu Xiaoxiao had even thoughtfully extended a warm invitation to her!
She loved the dessert at Xu Xiaoxiao's house. Now Fu Yan doted on Xu Xiaoxiao like a rare treasure. She wondered where he had found those delicious desserts that were so good they made her tongue melt.
Just thinking about those exquisite and delicious desserts made Nan Weiwei feel lighter on her feet, and she couldn't wait to head towards the Fu residence.
When Nan Weiwei rushed to the Fu residence, Madam Hou and the housekeeper were just about to serve the meal. Upon seeing her, they immediately smiled kindly.
They were already used to Nan Weiwei coming to "mooch" meals and didn't find it strange, after all, this wasn't the first time this had happened.
Every time it's mealtime, Nan Weiwei always shows up on time and joins everyone to enjoy the food without any hesitation.
Mrs. Hou greeted her with a smile, "Weiwei's here! Come in quickly, the food is all ready." The housekeeper then turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare bowls and chopsticks for Nan Weiwei, her movements very efficient.
Nan smiled and greeted Hou's mother and the housekeeper, then followed them to the restaurant.
The dining table was laden with delicious dishes, each exuding an enticing aroma that made one's mouth water.
Nan Weiwei inadvertently glanced at Xu Xiaoxiao, who was eating her meal slowly and deliberately. Every movement she made seemed so casual and indifferent, as if the meal was not a delicacy at all.
Looking at Xu Xiaoxiao like this, Nan Weiwei's originally calm lake was instantly stirred up by a thousand waves, and an uncontrollable frantic emotion surged into her heart like a tide!
Xu Xiaoxiao sat upright in her chair, her movements elegant and composed. She slowly extended her right hand and gently grasped the chopsticks. She lowered her head slightly, her gaze falling on the exquisite dishes on the table, but she didn't seem to have any particular interest in them.
She carefully picked up a small bite of food with her chopsticks and put it into her cherry-like mouth.
Then she began to chew slowly, each chew so deliberate and leisurely, as if time were entirely under her control.
However, in stark contrast to her slow eating, her beautiful eyes seemed unfocused, revealing a distracted expression.
They sometimes gazed into the distance, sometimes wandered to other places, as if the whole world could not attract much of her attention.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoxiao was like an elf immersed in her own thoughts, oblivious to everything happening around her.
Nan Weiwei stared at her, her eyes wide, and couldn't help but complain, "Xiaoxiao, we're twin sisters, why are our personalities so different?"
Xu Xiaoxiao was a little confused by Nan Weiwei's sudden remark. She looked up at Nan Weiwei with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Nan Weiwei, while stuffing large mouthfuls of food into her mouth, pointed at Xu Xiaoxiao and mumbled, "Let's talk about eating! Look at me, I look like I haven't eaten in ages, devouring my food like a whirlwind, it's so satisfying and enjoyable!"
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Xu Xiaoxiao didn't know what she wanted to say.
"Look at me, and then look at you! Tsk tsk tsk, you eat so slowly and deliberately, chewing every bite until it's completely mushy before you're satisfied. I think if you keep eating like this, you probably won't even be able to taste anything by the time you swallow it!"
Xu Xiaoxiao,,,,
"In my opinion, you should learn from me and be more generous and open-mouthed, devouring the food. Only in this way can you truly appreciate the original flavor of the food!"
As she spoke, Nan Weiwei picked up another large piece of meat and put it in her mouth, her mouth greasy with oil.
Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh as she watched Nan Weiwei wolf down her food. She put down her chopsticks, picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth, and said, "Weiwei, you're just wolfing down your food and wasting it."
"Tch..." Nan Weiwei scoffed.
"You should chew your food slowly and carefully so that you can better appreciate its flavor and it also helps with digestion. You eat so fast that you don't get to fully enjoy the deliciousness of the food, which is such a pity."
Nan Weiwei listened to Xu Xiaoxiao's words and curled her lips indifferently, saying, "I don't care about all that. I just like to eat like this, it's so satisfying! And I can eat more if I eat quickly. Otherwise, if I eat such delicious food slowly, it will all be eaten by others."
Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly and said with a smile, "You're such a foodie. But it's okay, I asked the kitchen to prepare extra today, so you can eat your fill."
Upon hearing this, Nan Weiwei's eyes lit up immediately, and she said excitedly, "Xiaoxiao is still the best to me, so I won't be polite then."
After saying that, she buried her head in her food and started eating again, looking as if she wanted to devour the entire table of food.
Xu Xiaoxiao sat to the side, looking at Nan Weiwei with a happy smile on her face. The sisters' laughter echoed in the restaurant.
Just then, Xu Xiaoxiao's phone, which had been quietly resting on the corner of the dining table and charging, suddenly rang. The crisp ringtone sounded particularly abrupt in the cozy dining room.
Upon hearing the ringtone, Mrs. Hou instinctively turned to look at her phone.
When she saw that it was Fu Yanchen calling on the screen, and it was a video call, a gentle and doting smile immediately appeared on her face. She quickly said to Xu Xiaoxiao in a soft voice, "Xiaoxiao, look, it's Mr. Fu. It's his video call. He's always so punctual."
The tone was as if conveying an extremely important message, yet also tinged with a sense of careful protectiveness.
Xu Xiaoxiao was enjoying her meal when the sudden ringtone interrupted her. She was slightly startled, then put down her chopsticks, gently wiped her mouth with a tissue, and reached out to take the phone.
Her movements were natural and fluid, and her eyes were full of anticipation and sweetness.
This video call has become an integral part of Fu Yanchen's daily life, as natural and indispensable as eating and sleeping.
No matter how busy he was at work or how much pressure he was under, he would insist on talking to the other party once a day without ever missing a single day.
Every day at this time, no matter how busy or complicated his work is, Fu Yanchen will always make a video call to Xu Xiaoxiao without fail.
Sometimes, he might have just finished a tense meeting and his face might still be showing signs of fatigue, but as soon as he sees Xu Xiaoxiao's smiling face, that fatigue will instantly disappear without a trace; sometimes, he might be on a business trip, in an unfamiliar city, surrounded by noisy crowds and bustling streets, but as soon as he video chats with Xu Xiaoxiao, his heart will immediately calm down, as if the whole world has become warm and beautiful.
Looking at Fu Yanchen's familiar and handsome face on her phone screen, Xu Xiaoxiao's lips unconsciously curled up into a happy smile.
She said softly, "Yan Chen, are you busy with work today?" Her voice was as gentle as a spring breeze, carrying a hint of sweetness and concern.
Fu Yanchen smiled and shook his head on the other end of the screen, saying, "I'm not busy, I just missed you, so I called you."
His eyes were full of tenderness and love, as if he could wrap Xu Xiaoxiao up tightly through the screen.
Watching Xu Xiaoxiao and Fu Yanchen's sweet interaction, Nan Weiwei couldn't help but tease, "Oh my, you two are showing off your love so much, I'm almost sick of it."
Although she wore a teasing smile, her eyes were full of envy and blessings.
Xu Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed by Nan Weiwei's words, her cheeks flushed slightly. She glared at Nan Weiwei and said, "You talk too much. Hurry up and eat your food."
After saying that, she turned her head back and continued chatting sweetly with Fu Yanchen, filling the restaurant with a strong atmosphere of happiness.
Fu Yanchen's magnetic voice, filled with endless concern, came from the other end of the phone screen: "Xiaoxiao, how was the food the chef made today? Did it suit your taste? Did you eat a lot?"
His tone was as gentle as a spring breeze brushing against her cheek, every word seemingly carrying a deep tenderness and doting affection. Even through the cold phone screen, Xu Xiaoxiao could truly feel his overflowing love.
Xu Xiaoxiao was tilting her head slightly, listening to Fu Yanchen with sweet eyes. When she heard him ask about the food, she immediately flashed a bright and happy smile at the camera.
Her smile was like a flower blooming in spring, beautiful and charming, instantly brightening the whole scene.
She nodded gently, her voice soft and tinged with excitement, and said, "It's great. The chef's skills are as excellent as ever. Every dish is delicious and visually appealing. I enjoyed it very much."
At this point, Xu Xiaoxiao seemed to suddenly remember something important, and her eyes lit up, sparkling with surprise and anticipation.
She leaned forward slightly, bringing her face close to the camera, her voice filled with barely suppressed joy, and said, "By the way, Fu Yanchen, I felt the baby move today. Although the movement was very faint, like a little fish swimming gently, I could feel it clearly."
"Really? That's great." Fu Yanchen said, and upon hearing the news, his already gentle eyes instantly became even brighter, like stars twinkling in the night sky.
His lips curled into a wide smile, a smile brimming with surprise and excitement. He quickly said, "Xiaoxiao, this is so wonderful! Baby is saying hello to Mommy."
"Xiaoxiao, you must take good care of yourself these days. Eat whatever you want, and don't deprive yourself. If the chef's cooking doesn't suit your taste, I'll find you a better one right away."
Looking at Fu Yanchen's nervous yet excited expression, Xu Xiaoxiao felt a warm glow in her heart. She gently shook her head and said softly, "Yanchen, don't be so nervous. I feel great right now. Besides, Aunt Hou and the housekeeper take excellent care of me every day, so don't worry."
Fu Yanchen was still a little worried. He frowned and said, "Xiaoxiao, I'm still a little worried about you. How about I finish my work as soon as possible and come back to be with you? I really don't feel at ease leaving you alone at home."
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao felt both touched and a little helpless. She smiled and comforted him, "Yan Chen, I'm really fine. You're so busy with work right now, you should focus on your work. Besides, Weiwei is with me, we're so happy together every day." As she spoke, she winked at Nan Weiwei, who was standing next to her.
Watching the sweet and warm interaction between the couple, Nan Weiwei couldn't help but laugh and tease, "President Fu, don't worry. With me here, I guarantee that Xiaoxiao and the baby will be taken good care of. You can focus on your work outside, and when you come back, you might even see a chubby little baby!"
Fu Yanchen was amused by Nan Weiwei's words and laughed heartily. He said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Weiwei. I'll definitely thank you properly when I get back."
After saying that, he turned his gentle gaze to Xu Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, you and Weiwei continue eating. Remember to eat more. I'm looking forward to seeing our lovely baby grow up healthy."
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, saying, "Okay, don't overwork yourself, take care of yourself and get some rest."
Nan Weiwei, standing to the side, was fiddling with a piece of green vegetable on her plate, but her ears were filled with the sweet and cloying conversation between Fu Yanchen and Xu Xiaoxiao.
The gentle, tender tone of his voice, along with the deep affection flowing between them, was like an invisible yet sticky net, tightly enveloping her and making her feel uncomfortable all over.
Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Hey, hey, hey, Fu Yanchen, you two are really something else! Look at you, you used to be so cold and aloof, radiating an aura that kept everyone at arm's length. Whenever Xiaoxiao did something slightly wrong, or had a different idea from yours, you'd put on a stern face, your brows furrowed so tightly they could trap a fly, your eyes as cold as ice blades, piercing straight at Xiaoxiao, scaring her so much she wouldn't dare breathe. You were excessively harsh on Xiaoxiao; I felt so sorry for her."
"But look at you now, you're like a completely different person! You haven't been replaced, have you? Are you still Fu Yanchen? Look at you now, you speak softly and gently, and you still have that silly yet sweet smile on your face from time to time. The way you look at Xiaoxiao is full of tenderness and doting, as if it can overflow with water."
"You... are you schizophrenic? I'm even starting to doubt that the person you're video chatting with isn't actually you, maybe some kind and considerate imposter!"
As Nan Weiwei spoke, she exaggeratedly gestured in the air with her hands, her face full of teasing and mockery.
Fu Yanchen was speaking tenderly to Xu Xiaoxiao when Nan Weiwei abruptly interrupted him with her words.
His brows furrowed instantly, and his eyes turned cold, as if he had switched from a warm spring day to a cold winter day in an instant.
She slightly raised her chin, her tone immediately returning to its usual coldness, like a sharp ice blade piercing straight at Nan Weiwei: "What? You're not convinced? If you're not convinced, go home and find Nan Yifeng! What are you doing here causing trouble? Why don't you just enjoy your meal instead of interfering with our sweet time? Can't this delicious food shut you up?"
Nan Weiwei was taken aback by Fu Yanchen's sudden cold attitude and sharp retort, and a hint of embarrassment flashed across her face, but she was not the kind of person who would easily admit defeat.
She rolled her eyes so wide you could barely see the whites, and continued, "So it was all an act. You're still you, the cold-faced devil. You're only gentle to Xiaoxiao, but you put on a cold act in front of others, acting like some kind of big CEO."
"Fu Yanchen, you... are too scary!" Nan Weiwei said, deliberately shaking her body exaggeratedly to pretend to be very scared. Her appearance was so funny that it made Xu Xiaoxiao, Hou Mama, and the housekeeper laugh.
