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

Chapter 1450 Xiaomei has something on her mind

"dong dong dong,"

There was a quick and brisk knock on the door. Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was about to stand up from the soft sofa, Hou's mother came out of the kitchen like a gust of wind, still holding the spatula in her hand. She said with a smile on her face, "Auntie, please sit still. I can handle this kind of trivial matter."

Xu Xiaoxiao,,,,,

Bored, she looked at the swaying willow tree outside the window. She pondered the boredom of staying at home these days and hoped that something new could break the tranquility.

The door opened slightly, and Nan Weiwei and Xiaomei, like two beautiful flowers, stepped into the warm little house step by step, bringing with them the sunshine and vitality from outside.

Nan Weiwei was wearing a light blue dress, her smile was as gentle as the spring breeze;

Xiaomei came in, wearing a lively yellow skirt. As soon as they entered the door, they called out in unison: "Xiaoxiao, we are here!"

A warm feeling suddenly surged in Xu Xiaoxiao's heart, and a long-lost bright smile bloomed on her face.

She stood up and greeted them, "Why are you here?"

"Come, look at you, Xiaoxiao, look what we brought you?"

Nan smiled mysteriously and took out two small and exquisite food boxes from behind like a magic trick.

Xu Xiaoxiao took it curiously, opened it and saw that it was her sour plum and spicy chicken.

"Xiaoxiao, do you prefer sour or spicy food now?" Nan Weiwei blinked and asked mischievously, "People outside say that sour boys and spicy girls are more popular. Look, we prepared this especially for you."

When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, her cheeks turned slightly red and a hint of shyness and happiness flashed in her eyes.

She gently picked up a piece of sour plum and put it into her mouth. The sour taste instantly awakened her taste buds and seemed to touch a soft corner of her heart.

After just one bite, my stomach started to feel uncomfortable, so I put the food down and stopped eating.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Nan Weiwei and Xiaomei, feeling secretly grateful. With such good friends by her side, even the days of staying at home were no longer monotonous and boring.

"Don't want to eat? Then...eat something spicy."

Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head gently, frowning slightly, with a hint of helplessness and bitterness in her eyes: "Weiwei, Xiaomei, I appreciate your kindness. But now, I have no interest in any food. Today I want to eat spicy food, tomorrow I want to eat sweet food, and then I vomit. This morning sickness reaction tortured me and I lost my appetite. Mother Hou's pregnant woman soup still gave me a little appetite."

She gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, her eyes filled with maternal tenderness and a hint of imperceptible worry.

"Now Fu Yanchen is even more frightened than me. He comes back from work every day and follows me around, looking at me like a criminal."

"Now, I am full of anticipation and longing for the weekly check-up day. Only on that day can I get the opportunity to go out, temporarily escape from the closed and depressing environment, breathe the fresh air outside, and feel the beauty of nature."

"Even though I was so careful, I was still nervous. Every time I stepped out of that door, I felt like I was walking on a tightrope, afraid that something unexpected would happen."

"Can you understand this feeling?"

As she spoke, Xu Xiaoxiao sighed, her eyes falling on the sun-drenched garden outside the window, her eyes revealing a desire for freedom.

"I'm almost sick from staying in this small place day after day. I used to be a lively and adventurous person, but now I have to be trapped in this small house until the baby is born safely."

"When I think of this long time, I feel an unprecedented powerlessness and confusion, as if life has lost its color, and only endless waiting and anticipation are left, looking forward to the birth of the child."

Upon hearing this, Nan Weiwei and Xiaomei looked at each other, their eyes full of understanding and sympathy.

They gently held Xu Xiaoxiao's hands, trying to bring her some comfort with their warmth.

Upon hearing this, Mother Hou sighed softly, and her sigh seemed to contain endless emotion and the vicissitudes of life.

She slowly turned her head and her eyes fell on Xu Xiaoxiao, her eyes revealing a deep love and pity.

It was a look that only a mother could have, full of care and love for her child.

She sighed slightly, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of her mouth unconsciously, as if she had thousands of words to say, but in the end, she only said this simple sentence:

"Xiaoxiao, I'm not talking nonsense. A woman really has to sacrifice too much for her children in her life."

She paused for a moment, as if recalling the hardships of the past, and then continued, "Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. We mothers go through a lot. The pain is really hard to describe in words."

"Well, Madam Hou is right."

"You know, the effort a man puts in is nothing compared to what we put in!"

“They may feel they are working very hard, but in reality, they are not working nearly as hard as we do. We all have a lot of heavy tasks and responsibilities in our daily lives, whether it’s housework, childcare or work pressure, and we can handle it.”

"And what about men? They usually only need to focus on work or other relatively easy things. So, the little effort they put in is really insignificant compared to us."

Having said this, Mother Hou paused, her eyes seemed to penetrate time and space and return to the past.

After a moment, she continued, "Of course, there are men with conscience in this world who know how to love their wives. But there are more heartless men who push everything onto you and have nothing to do for themselves. I just said it casually, don't take it to heart, I'm not that kind of person."

After hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao still had a gentle smile on her face, but there was a hint of happiness in her smile.

"Mother Hou, I understand what you said. I know that Fu Yanchen is not that kind of person. He is sincere to me and this child. I know that he is also working hard in his own way to give me and the child a better future."

Speaking of this, Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled with happiness, as if all the hard work and difficulties were worth it at this moment.

She continued, "Besides, I believe that no matter what the future holds, as long as our family is together, there will be nothing that we can't overcome. Mother Hou, don't worry. If Fu Yanchen hears you say this about him, he might get upset with me."

Mother Hou looked at Xu Xiaoxiao's happy face and couldn't help feeling a little relieved.

She nodded gently, with a knowing smile on her lips: "Okay, okay, as long as you two are doing well, I will be relieved, and my husband will not be upset with me."

Nan Weiwei said, "Xiaoxiao, don't think like that. This is a process that every mother will go through. Although it is hard, when you see that little life come because of you, all the efforts will become worth it. We will always be with you and spend this special time with you."

"Yeah," Xu Xiaoxiao nodded.

But after a while, Nan Weiwei's brows twisted into a knot and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned down.

"Weiwei, what's wrong?" Xu Xiaoxiao said.

Nan Weiwei's tone was full of helplessness and anxiety: "Hey, Xiaoxiao, you got pregnant for no apparent reason. Look at me, Nan Yifeng and I, we've given up everything just to have a child."

"I no longer work overtime, and my life is regular, but this child seems to be deliberately hiding from us. Why can't I get pregnant?"

As she spoke, Nan Weiwei's eyes became dim, as if covered by a layer of mist.

She gently stirred the drink in her hand, but just stared blankly without actually taking a sip.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxiao felt heartbroken.

She gently held Nan Weiwei's hand, her eyes full of encouragement and comfort: "Weiwei, this can't be rushed. Children are gifts from God. They will come to us naturally when the time comes."

"If you look so sad now, it will affect your mood and is not good for your health. Relax a little, maybe I will give you a big surprise one day."

Nan Weiwei listened to what Xu Xiaoxiao said and nodded, "Xiaoxiao, you are right. This matter cannot be rushed. I was just too impatient. Don't worry, I will adjust my mentality and wait for the surprise that belongs to me."

Xiaomei next to him has been silent since she entered the door, as if she had a heavy secret in her heart.

Xu Xiaoxiao noticed Xiaomei's strangeness, patted her hand gently, and asked with concern: "Xiaomei, what's wrong with you today? Why haven't you spoken a word? Is there something on your mind? Did Lu Feng bully you? Don't be afraid, we are here, just tell us and we will take care of it for you."

Hearing this, Xiao Mei shook her head gently, her voice choking with sobs: "No, it's okay, Xiao Xiao. Lu Feng didn't bully me."

Xu Xiaoxiao and Nan Weiwei looked at each other and could read the worry and confusion in each other's eyes.

Xiaomei has always been a cheerful and lively girl. The way she looks today must mean that she has something unspeakable on her mind.

Xu Xiaoxiao held Xiaomei's hand again, and her tone became softer: "Xiaomei, we know you are a strong girl, but even the strongest people can be weak sometimes. You treat us as sisters, so what can't you tell us? Tell us, maybe we can help you share some of your burden, or at least make you feel better."

Nan Weiwei also moved closer and gently put her arm around Xiaomei's shoulders: "Yes, Xiaomei, the three of us have been through so many ups and downs together, what can't we be honest with each other? Your business is our business. Don't carry it alone, let us face it together with you."

Xiaomei forced a smile, trying to make her tone sound more relaxed: "It's okay, Xiaoxiao. I just came here and I'm not used to the working environment yet. I'm a little tired. Don't worry, I just need to rest."

However, Xu Xiaoxiao was not so easily dismissed.

She frowned, her eyes full of disbelief: "Xiao Mei, tell me the truth, did Lu Feng assign you some tiring work? This is impossible, Lu Feng is not that kind of person, how could he let you suffer like this?"

Xu Xiaoxiao's words were full of trust in Lu Feng. She knew that Xiaomei was always the type to report good news but not bad news. Therefore, she was even more worried about whether Xiaomei had really encountered some unspeakable difficulties this time.

Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao being so persistent, Xiaomei couldn't help feeling moved.

She knew that Xu Xiaoxiao really cared about her and wanted to share her burden.

So, she sighed softly and finally let down her guard: "Actually...actually it's not that the work Lu Feng assigned to me is tiring, it's just...I myself may not be able to adapt to the pace here."

"After all, the previous working environment is too different from the current one. Besides, Brother Lu doesn't know either. It's really okay. I will slowly adapt to it. Xiaoxiao, don't worry."

Nan Weiwei couldn't help but laugh when she saw this. She waved her hand carelessly, with a teasing and relaxed tone: "Xiaoxiao, this is a typical case of 'pregnant woman overthinking'! Xiaomei just moved to a new place, far away from her hometown, and is a little uncomfortable with it. Wasn't it the same when you first went to Linshi? This is normal. After a while, she will adapt to the environment here and she will be fine. Don't be so nervous and make Xiaomei nervous."

Hearing this, Xiaomei quickly agreed and laughed. She nodded, her eyes full of gratitude and relief. "Yes, yes, Xiaoxiao, don't worry about me. This is really just a small problem during the adaptation stage. It's no big deal. You must take good care of the baby and don't be distracted by my little thing, otherwise... Mr. Fu will blame me."

As she spoke, Xiaomei deliberately puffed out her chest and put on an attitude of "I'm fine, no problem", trying to make Xu Xiaoxiao put her worries aside.

Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but relax a little when she saw the interaction between Nan Weiwei and Xiaomei.

She knew that the two sisters were both carefree people. Since they both said so, Xiaomei's condition should not be serious.

So, she also laughed, her tone full of relief and gratitude: "Okay, okay, I was too nervous. With you two here, I really feel less worried. Xiaomei, you should also pay more attention to your health. If you feel uncomfortable, please tell us at any time."

"Xiao Mei, if you have anything, remember to call me. Don't keep it to yourself. Although we can't see each other often, we can still call each other anytime. Also, you don't have to worry about Fu Yanchen. He just wants me to be happy now, so he won't say anything about me answering the phone or chatting."

When Xiaomei heard this, her heart warmed and her eyes reddened slightly.

She held Xu Xiaoxiao's hand tightly and said gratefully: "Xiaoxiao, having a friend like you is the greatest luck of my life. Don't worry, I will tell you everything and I won't carry it alone."

Nan Weiwei also interrupted with a smile, "Yes, yes, the three of us are like the bougainvillea, closely connected and indispensable. If anyone is in trouble, the other two will lend a hand without hesitation. Xiaomei, don't be polite. From now on, just think of us as your safe haven. You are always welcome to stop by."

At this time, Xiaomei,,,,
