Chapter 1365 Control
Chapter 1365 Control
Xu Xiaoxiao was busy at home for the whole morning, wiping every corner clean and bright. She wanted to use this method to dispel the reluctance and emptiness in her heart.
In the afternoon, the sunlight slanted into the house, adding a bit of warmth to this quiet space.
Just then, the cell phone rang suddenly, interrupting her thoughts.
Fu Yanchen's name was flashing on the screen, and she couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in her heart.
Xu Xiaoxiao did feel a little angry about taking her grandmother away. She felt that she was part of Fu Yanchen's plan and she was just a passive recipient.
Therefore, when she answered the phone, there was naturally a hint of displeasure in her tone.
"Hello." Her voice was a little cold, completely different from her usual gentle voice.
On the other end of the phone, Fu Yanchen's voice still carried his unique laziness and magnetism, as if it could penetrate everything and reach people's hearts.
"Xiaoxiao, are you still angry?" There was a hint of helplessness and doting in his tone, as if he had already anticipated Xu Xiaoxiao's reaction.
Xu Xiaoxiao's anger intensified when she heard this. "Fu Yanchen, you acted first and asked for my permission later. Do you think I will be your canary if you do this?"
The voice sounded like it was squeezed out from between teeth, full of questioning and dissatisfaction, which made people feel nervous.
Fu Yanchen could sense that every word Xu Xiaoxiao said was spoken with all her might, and the resistance deep in her heart was obvious.
Fu Yanchen was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, seemingly thinking about how to respond.
After a moment, his voice sounded again, this time, his tone was more sincere and gentle.
"Xiaoxiao, I know it's my fault that I didn't tell you about this in advance. But I did it for grandma's own good. She's old and needs better care. And I just hope you can be by my side so that we can take care of her together."
"Besides, grandma is staying with me, which means you have one more thing to worry about. Think about it, even if you... really break your promise to me and fail to keep the agreement between us, you will definitely come back to visit grandma, right?"
Xu Xiaoxiao... "Fu Yanchen, you are such a dog."
Fu Yanchen,,,, not a dog? Can a non-dog catch up with his wife?
"Xiaoxiao, now there is an invisible connection between us. This connection is like an invisible thread that ties us together tightly. And grandma likes it here very much. The air here is fresh and pleasant, the environment is beautiful and peaceful, and there are many people taking care of grandma, and they are all very professional and careful. Now grandma has accepted me, and she treats me very well, just like treating her own grandson, so she is also my grandma."
Xu Xiaoxiao,,,,,
"So, Xiaoxiao, you don't have to worry that I will have any bad thoughts about grandma. I will do my best to take good care of her, just like taking care of my own grandma. I will chat with her every day, tell her interesting stories, and make her happy; I will take good care of her daily life, make sure she eats well and sleeps well; I will also take her for a walk, breathe fresh air, and make her healthier and healthier. In short, I will do my best to make grandma live happily and comfortably here."
"Xiaoxiao, you always say that you want freedom, and want to pursue your career and dreams. I understand you and support you. But freedom does not mean you can ignore your family and your emotions. With me by your grandma's side, you can pursue your free life without worrying about it, knowing that you have a warm home waiting for you, and someone will take good care of your loved ones for you. Just come back when the time comes, okay?"
"Don't worry, I will take good care of our grandma, just like she once took care of her grandson. I will take walks with her, listen to her stories from the past, watch the sunrise and sunset with her, and enjoy every ordinary yet warm day. And you can also call grandma when you are busy, listen to her voice, and feel the long-lost family love."
"Xiaoxiao, I hope you can understand that everything I do is not to restrain you, but to make our relationship stronger and our home warmer. I am willing to be your strong backing and also willing to be grandma's most caring companion. So, please believe me and believe in the feelings between us. From now on, I will not restrict you in any way. You are free."
As Xu Xiaoxiao listened to Fu Yanchen's words, the emotions surging in her heart rose and fell like the tide.
She suddenly felt a sore nose and tears welled up in her eyes involuntarily.
She quickly lowered her head to prevent the tears from falling, secretly regretting in her heart: Why am I so disappointing? Why can't I be coaxed into submission by him with just a few words every time?
Even with such complicated emotions in her heart, Xu Xiaoxiao still answered stubbornly:
"Now that you've taken her back, just be patient and don't think my grandma is too much trouble. She's old, so you need to be more responsible and take good care of her. I... this is the peak season, so I'm really busy and may not have time."
"Then... Weiwei is engaged to Nan Yifeng... you should come back!" Fu Yanchen asked even though he knew the answer.
“Well, at that time we will plan ahead, close the shop and go back. Fu Yanchen, that’s it, I have to go to the coffee shop quickly!”
She spoke very quickly, as if she wanted to end the conversation quickly. After she finished speaking in one breath, she hung up the phone without hesitation, as if she was avoiding something.
Her heart was beating fast, and Fu Yanchen's words and his eyes that seemed to see through people's hearts kept echoing in her mind.
She knew very well that she was being controlled by Fu Yanchen this time.
Fu Yanchen, you are a sinister, cunning and scheming businessman. He actually took the old lady away as a bargaining chip for her to get back and get closer to him.
asshole,,,,,
Xu Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa, holding the phone tightly in both hands, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.
In fact, she didn't like the feeling of being controlled by him, but every time she faced him, she could never stay calm and rational. She sighed, stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the bustling city outside the window, with mixed feelings in her heart.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, picked up her bag, and walked out of the house.
In the coffee shop, the familiar aroma and busy figures made her feel a little comforted.
Fortunately, no matter how life changes, there is always a place here for her, allowing her to temporarily forget her troubles and enjoy a moment of peace and freedom.
