Addicted to Love, Mr. Fu’s Newly Married Wife
Chapter 1024 Mother's Question
"Hey, Nan Yifeng, what's wrong with you? Look at you, your brows are twisted like dark clouds gathering in the sky, with a bit of indescribable bitterness. Did your lover Fang Xiaohui secretly send you a message? Asking you out for a date."
Nan Weiwei glanced at Nan Yifeng's worried face, and curled the corners of her mouth slightly, with a hint of teasing, but unable to hide the concern in her heart, and softly uttered these words.
"Weiwei, that's not the case. It's... it's... mother. Weiwei, think about it, it's so late at night, and mother suddenly called. Could it be... could it be that she knew something happened to me?"
Nan Yifeng's heart tightened, his brows furrowed even deeper, and there was a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.
He pondered in his heart, his parents had been away from home for several months without any news, and now at this critical moment, the phone call came unexpectedly, how could he not arouse doubts, as if there was an invisible thread that closely connected their current predicament with their relatives far away.
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, and even the air seemed to be a little heavier.
Nan Weiwei's expression suddenly changed when she heard that. Her originally lively eyes were now filled with ripples, and her panic was evident in her expression.
"Ah? Then... then... what should I do?" There was a hint of haste and helplessness in her voice. Her hands were twisted together unconsciously, and the slight coolness of her fingertips conveyed her inner anxiety and uneasiness.
Nan Yifeng is right. My parents haven’t called me in the past few months, but they called me tonight. They must have known something, right?
Outside the window, the night is as dark as ink, the moonlight is dim, and the occasional cry of night birds adds a bit of loneliness and ominousness.
Inside the house, the lights were dim, and the two people's shadows were stretched out and projected on the ground, appearing particularly lonely.
Nan Yifeng and Nan Weiwei looked at each other, and each other's worries and confusion were reflected in each other's eyes, as if at this moment, all the uneasiness and fear were infinitely magnified, tightly entwining their hearts.
"Let's...take it first. Maybe...maybe we are just worrying too much."
Nan Yifeng took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil. He slowly reached out his hand and lightly touched the cold cell phone with his fingertips, as if he was touching an unknown fate.
Nan Weiwei stood aside, biting her lower lip tightly, following his movements closely with her eyes, praying silently in her heart, hoping that all this was just a false alarm.
Nan Yifeng glanced at Nan Weiwei, then slowly stood up with heavy steps, as if every step was on his heart, and finally stopped in front of the window.
The night surged in like a tide, swallowing up his lonely figure.
He took a deep breath, his fingers trembling slightly, and finally pressed the answer button that decided his fate.
"Hello? Mom." He tried his best to keep his voice calm, but he couldn't hide a hint of nervousness.
On the other end of the phone, Du Yunxi's voice cut through the silence like a sharp blade, with an unquestionable question:
"Nan Yifeng, you bastard, where have you been again?" The mother's angry roar came from the other end of the phone.
Nan Yifeng was so scared that he quickly covered his ears, fearing that he would be deafened. He answered carefully: "Mom, I'm..."
"You little bastard, your dad and I flew back from abroad with great difficulty, but when we got home, we couldn't see a single person. We went to the company, but it was empty. We met your assistant working overtime alone. Are you embarrassed? You? Your assistant said that you haven't shown up for several days. What do you mean by this? Are you going to leave the company to us two old people? We are old and can't stand the hard work. Do you want to work us to death?" The mother's voice was full of blame and helplessness.
Nan Yifeng felt guilty, knowing that he had been a little too indulgent recently. But he didn't dare to refute and could only listen to his mother's scolding in silence.
"I'm telling you, don't think you can do whatever you want when your father, your sister and I are not around. If you really want to get married, bring a proper daughter-in-law back to me. Don't fool around with other girls out there and mess around with some messy people. I will beat you to death if I do." The mother said on the phone with a serious face.
Her tone revealed her dissatisfaction and concern about her son's behavior.
Then, she warned in a stern tone: "I know you young people like to have fun, but having fun is one thing and don't stay out all night. Hey, I'm not saying anything bad about you, you used to be very sensible, but how about now? You have become so ignorant! Are you possessed by a ghost or something? Tell me where you are and your father and I will come right away. Haha, I want to see what kind of woman seduced you away! How did you become such an irrational and judgment-less person? You haven't shown up at the company for several days and nights." The mother yelled on the phone.
When she said the last sentence, the mother's voice became sharper and sharper, as if it could penetrate one's eardrums.
"Okay, Mom, I know I was wrong and I will pay attention." Nan Yifeng said in a low voice.
"Well, that's better, otherwise you'll be in trouble!" the mother warned.
Nan Yifeng sighed inwardly. He knew that he and Nan Weiwei could not continue like this. He had to let his parents know what was going on between him and Weiwei.
Du Yunxi's words were like a string of cannonballs, and every word hit Nan Yifeng's heart and Nan Weiwei's heart, making them feel suffocated.
Nan Yifeng held the phone tightly, his fingertips turned white due to the force, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he had no way to defend himself. He opened his mouth to say that he and Nan Weiwei were truly in love, but Nan Weiwei shook her head, signaling him not to say it.
The night wind outside the window seemed to sense his helplessness, and blew gently, bringing with it bursts of coolness.
"Why are you silent? Is that woman by your side? Nan Yifeng, don't go too far!"
The mother's voice on the phone sounded particularly excited, and she seemed very dissatisfied and angry about his behavior.
There was a strong emotion in her tone, which made people feel the disappointment and heartache in her heart.
This sudden accusation made Nan Yifeng feel a little overwhelmed. He didn't know how to respond to his mother's questioning.
Faced with such a situation, he could only listen to his mother's scolding in silence, his heart filled with helplessness and pain.
"Mom, don't be excited, listen to my explanation..." Nan Yifeng tried to calm his mother, but was interrupted by Du Yunxi before he could finish his words.
"Explanation? What else do you have to explain? I'm telling you, Nan Yifeng, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation this time, don't blame me for being rude!"
There was an irresistible majesty in Du Yunxi's voice, which made Nan Yifeng smile bitterly.
"Mom, it's really nothing! Don't worry. I just came to Lin City on a business trip to inspect a project. I came to see Weiwei by the way. However, maybe I was too tired recently, and I accidentally caught a cold, so I came to the hospital for an IV. But don't worry, I'm much better now. By the way, Weiwei is here with me too! How about she and I make a video call with you so you can see? Now you should believe me!" Nan Yifeng explained gently to his mother.
After hearing her son's explanation, Du Yunxi's tone softened a little, but she still had doubts.
"Okay, then video chat with me right away. I won't feel relieved until I see you with my own eyes."
Nan Yifeng quickly turned on his phone and started a video call with his mother.
In the picture, Du Yunxi saw her son and Nan Weiwei together. Nan Weiwei looked at Nan Yifeng with concern and there seemed to be nothing unusual.
"Mom." Nan Weiwei raised her hand to greet him.
"Mom, you see, I'm really fine. Weiwei has been taking care of me, so you don't have to worry." Nan Yifeng said.
Du Yunxi's expression finally relaxed, and her tone became relaxed: "That's good, you must take care of your body. No matter how busy you are at work, you must remember to rest and don't exhaust yourself. Also, don't let Weiwei take care of you. She is still a little girl, and lack of sleep will affect the condition of her skin!"
Nan Yifeng replied helplessly: ".....I know, Mom."
Du Yunxi looked at her son's reluctant expression and couldn't help laughing: "Look at your reluctant expression. I really don't want to talk to you anymore."
"......"
Nan Yifeng was speechless. He felt that his mother disliked him again.
At this time, Du Yunxi turned her gaze to Nan Weiwei in the video and said gently: "Weiwei, mom misses you so much, do you miss mom?"
"Of course I do, Mom." Nan smiled sweetly, "How are you and Dad doing recently?"
"We are all fine, you don't have to worry." Du Yunxi replied with a smile, "But you should take good care of yourself."
"I will, Mom." Nan nodded obediently.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go to bed early." Du Yunxi said.
"Okay, good night, Mom." Nan Yifeng and Nan Weiwei said at the same time.
After hanging up the video, Nan Yifeng looked at Nan Weiwei and smiled helplessly: "Mom is always so nagging. I don't know how Dad has endured it all these years."
"Mom cares about us too." Nan Weiwei said softly.
Nan Yifeng reached out and ruffled Nan Weiwei's hair: "Yeah, I know. Thank you for believing in me."
Nan Weiwei's face flushed slightly: "We have been together for four years, of course I believe in you."
"......"
