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

Chapter 1599 What purpose

Inside the car, the atmosphere was as oppressive as the calm before a storm.

Li Shanshan sat openly in the passenger seat, the very place that originally belonged to Nan Weiwei.

Nan Yifeng felt an inexplicable anger rise from the bottom of his heart, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, and his eyes were full of displeasure and disgust.

This spot holds countless sweet memories for him and Nan Weiwei. Every time Nan Weiwei sits here, the car is filled with a warm and happy atmosphere.

But now, he is occupied by the woman in front of him who he finds utterly repulsive.

But! The thought that as long as they could get rid of this troublesome Li Shanshan, who was like a "plague god," safely, their home could once again regain the peaceful, harmonious, and carefree days of the past.

Although Nan Yifeng's heart was already consumed by a raging fire of anger, he gritted his teeth and desperately suppressed the surging rage, silently reminding himself again and again: I must remain calm and composed! I must not act impulsively!

For safety's sake, and to put Nan Weiwei's mind at ease, he quickly picked up his phone, tapped rapidly on the screen, and sent Nan Weiwei a message, briefly explaining the situation and informing her that he was seeing Li Shanshan off.

After sending the message, he slowly put down his phone and coldly turned his gaze to Li Shanshan.

"Li Shanshan, tell me, what exactly do you want from my house?"

Nan Yifeng's voice was as cold as the winter wind, devoid of any warmth. "I'm not like those domineering CEOs in short dramas who give you a lot of money and then make you leave me. Doing that would make me look guilty, as if I really had some shady relationship with you."

Upon hearing Nan Yifeng's words, Li Shanshan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile that appeared innocent yet concealed a cunning glint.

She tilted her head slightly, a hint of provocation and mockery in her eyes, and said, "Nan Yifeng, look at you, what you're saying is so boring."

"What do you mean by that? What do you mean I want to do? Your biggest flaw is that you're too suspicious, which isn't good. Look at you, you suspect people so easily, it makes people very uncomfortable."

Her voice was coquettish, an attempt to use this seemingly weak demeanor to change the subject and conceal her true intentions.

How could Nan Yifeng not see through her little trick? He sneered, his eyes like sharp blades piercing straight at Li Shanshan: "Nan Weiwei, stop pretending to be stupid with me!"

Li Shanshan said, "Nan Yifeng, I don't understand what you're saying?"

"Hehe, Li Shanshan, wasn't it Ye Junhao who instructed you to do this? You're one of his people. This guy is definitely not as simple as he seems! He's practically a treacherous viper lurking in the dark corners, ready to pounce at any moment and bite someone deadly!"

"So, Nan Yifeng, what are you trying to say?"

"Li Shanshan, you'd better be careful, or you might end up making things worse and losing everything, even getting yourself into trouble! Actually, knowing me as well as you do, you probably know very well that Ye Junhao's real intention in getting close to Nan Weiwei is definitely not something pure and innocent or without any selfish motives!"

"You'd better tell me the whole truth as soon as possible: what exactly is his goal or intention? If you can tell me the truth honestly and completely, maybe I can still remember our past relationship and lend you a hand."

"Otherwise, if we let the situation continue to deteriorate and evolve, by the time it is completely out of control and irreversible, even if you want to regret it, it will probably be too late!"

As Nan Yifeng spoke, he stared intently into Li Shanshan's eyes, trying to discern a clue from her gaze.

When Li Shanshan heard Ye Junhao's name, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

She gently bit her lip and said, feigning composure, "Nan Yifeng, stop talking nonsense. Ye Junhao and I have absolutely no relationship, and he didn't ask me to do anything. Don't always think so badly of others."

Her slightly trembling voice and the nervous expression she inadvertently revealed betrayed her true feelings.

Seeing her trying to appear calm, Nan Yifeng became even more certain of his guess.

He sneered and said, "Li Shanshan, stop deceiving yourself. Your acting skills are not bad, but they are no match for me. I advise you to tell the truth as soon as possible, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

The atmosphere inside the car grew increasingly tense, as if a fierce battle was about to unfold...

Inside the car, the cramped space was filled with a tense atmosphere.

Li Shanshan leaned back lazily in the passenger seat, her body slightly arched with the seat's curve. Her hands were casually resting on the armrests, and her legs were crossed, giving her a relaxed and contented look, as if she were the owner of the car at that moment.

She slightly raised her chin, her eyes filled with a hint of provocation and stubbornness, a faint smile playing on her lips, and said, "Nan Yifeng... Hahaha, look at what you're saying. Who do you think you are to me? Why should I listen to you? In this day and age, those who are obedient end up with nothing. I don't want to be a good kid anymore. Xu Xiaoxiao has been obedient enough, hasn't she? But she still suffered a lot."

"Remember, Nan Yifeng, it was you who didn't want me, it was you who abandoned me."

The sound was crisp yet sharp, like a cold blade piercing straight at Nan Yifeng.

Nan Yifeng unconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his knuckles turning white from the force.

His brows furrowed, his eyes filled with disgust and impatience. He turned his head and glared at Li Shanshan, coldly saying, "What do you mean I don't want you? We have nothing to do with each other. Don't flatter yourself. I'm not the kind of scumbag who falls in love with every woman he sees. I can't accept a woman I don't love."

"Stop bothering me, it will only make me hate you more."

His voice was deep and powerful, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying an undeniable firmness.

Upon hearing Nan Yifeng's words, Li Shanshan's smile froze instantly, and a hint of hurt and resentment flashed in her eyes.

She sat up slightly, her gaze fixed on Nan Yifeng, her eyes filled with complex emotions—anger, grievance, and a hint of undisguised love.

She took a deep breath and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Nan Yifeng, if that's the case, why did you help me when I was bullied by my classmates? That day, I was surrounded by a group of classmates in a corner. They pulled my hair, threw garbage at me, and insulted me with vicious language. I struggled desperately, but I couldn't break free."

"Just when I felt hopeless, you appeared. You were like a ray of light, illuminating my dark world. You rushed over, pushed away those who were bullying me, and shielded me behind you. At that moment, looking at your upright figure and hearing your firm voice, my heart was completely captured. Just that one time, I fell in love with you."

As Li Shanshan spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, the glistening drops swirling within them, stubbornly refusing to fall. Her voice trailed off, as if lost in memories, tinged with a bittersweet hue.

“From then on, my heart could not hold anyone else. I paid attention to your every move every day. Your smile and your eyes could make me happy all day. I know there are many excellent girls around you, but I never thought of giving up. I thought that as long as I worked hard enough and was sincere enough, one day you would see my goodness and fall in love with me. But now, you say that there is no relationship between us. This is too cruel to me.”

Listening to Li Shanshan's story, Nan Yifeng's disgust lessened slightly, but he felt more helpless and annoyed. He sighed softly and said, "Li Shanshan, I saved you out of instinct. Anyone in that situation would have helped. That doesn't prove anything, and it's no reason for you to pester me. Feelings can't be forced. I don't love you, that's a fact. Instead of wasting your time on me, you should find someone who truly loves you."

Upon hearing Nan Yifeng's words, Li Shanshan finally couldn't hold back her tears and they welled up in her eyes.

She covered her face with her hands, her body trembling slightly, and sobbed, "Nan Yifeng, how could you be so cruel... What's wrong with me? Why can't you love me..."

The atmosphere inside the car became even more oppressive, as if even the air had frozen.

Nan Yifeng frowned. Inside the car, the atmosphere was as oppressive as the low pressure before a storm, so stifling that it was hard to breathe.

Nan Yifeng was extremely annoyed by Li Shanshan's entanglement, and the anger in his heart was like a volcano about to erupt, which he could no longer suppress.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, his eyes filled with disgust and impatience. He couldn't help but mutter, "If I had known that helping you would end like this, I would have preferred to watch you continue to be bullied by them rather than meddle in other people's business and end up causing trouble!"

Though the voice was low, it was like a sharp thorn, piercing straight into Li Shanshan's heart.

Li Shanshan, who had been wearing a stubborn and expectant expression, froze the moment she heard Nan Yifeng's words, as if she had been frozen in place.

Her face turned deathly pale instantly, like a blank sheet of paper devoid of any color. Her once bright eyes dimmed instantly, as if they had lost all their luster.

His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't utter a single word.

After a moment, she slowly came to her senses, a bitter smile appearing on her lips, a smile full of helplessness and despair.

She gently shook her head, her voice low and hoarse as she said, "Nan Yifeng, if... I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred that you had never helped me in the first place!"

These words seemed to have been squeezed out of her teeth with all her might, filled with endless regret and resentment. Tears blurred her vision, but she still stared intently at the man before her, each word seemingly uttered with the utmost effort, carrying boundless sorrow and remorse.

"Nan Yifeng! You are so noble! However, it was this seemingly perfect and superior person who, with your so-called kindness and righteousness, led me into a dreamlike and beautiful time—as if I were in heaven. But in the end, it was you who pushed me into the abyss."

Nan Yifeng... he should probably do less of this kind of "helping others" thing in the future!

Li Shanshan's eyes became somewhat unfocused, as if she were lost in memories. "The sunlight that day was so warm. You appeared before me like a hero, rescuing me from that endless darkness and pain."

"At that moment, I really thought I saw hope, that I could get rid of those nightmares and live a normal life. I was filled with joy and looked forward to having a wonderful story with you."

However, her smile quickly vanished, replaced by a look of pain and despair: "Yet in the end, it was you who personally pushed me into the bottomless abyss of hell."

"To you, this may be as ordinary as helping those insignificant cats and dogs on the roadside; or perhaps it is just a trivial and ordinary act of kindness. Nan Yifeng, tell me, why are you so sentimental?"

Nan Yifeng pointed to himself, "Me? Promiscuous?"

"Isn't that right? How could you not know? To me, your arrival is a great gift from heaven! Like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminating my path forward; like an oasis in the desert, giving me hope and strength for life."

"This feeling is not limited to the impact of superficial contact or brief communication, but is a shock and emotion that goes deep into the bones and touches the soul! Have you ever thought about what it means for such a person to appear in my world?"

"That was absolutely a complete transformation, even a journey of redemption on a spiritual level! Yet, you were completely oblivious to its profound and important significance, utterly unable to grasp the infinite depths it contained..."

Her voice grew louder and more agitated, her body trembling slightly with anger and sorrow. "In your eyes, I am perhaps as insignificant as the faintest star in the night sky, utterly insignificant and unable to attract your attention or concern."

"To you, I am just someone who can be forgotten, ignored, or even abandoned at any time—a complete stranger with no presence whatsoever!"

“Nan Yifeng, you are the eldest son of the Nan family, high and mighty, and you will never be able to understand the pain and despair of us ordinary people.”

“I struggle in the darkness every day, trying to climb out, but each time I am ruthlessly pulled back. And you are like that unreachable starlight, seemingly within reach, but forever unattainable.”

Li Shanshan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but tears still streamed down her face uncontrollably.

She gently wiped away her tears and continued, "You wouldn't understand us. You're the eldest son of the Nan family, living a carefree life. You can have anything you want. How could you understand what we ordinary people are thinking? You'll never understand that feeling, that feeling of being abandoned by the whole world and feeling helpless."

"I often find myself lost in thought: what if one day, fate cruelly pushes you into the same abyss as I have, leaving you, like me, mired in that muddy, suffering swamp?"

When the burdens of life weigh you down, and endless pain gnaws at your soul like a venomous snake, leaving you wounded and exhausted—do we still have the chance to stand side by side again?

"Perhaps only then will you truly understand the torment I've endured deep within my heart, and only then will you be able to perceive the beauty that you once overlooked..."

As she spoke, Li Shanshan's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

She slumped back in her seat, staring blankly ahead, as if she had lost all hope and motivation.

The atmosphere inside the car grew increasingly heavy, as if even the air itself had frozen...
