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

"Weiwei, don't change anything because of me. Just rest assured here! Really, it's okay."

Xu Xiaoxiao uttered the words softly, her tone carrying unquestionable firmness. Her eyes were gentle and deep, as if she could see into the subtlest corners of people's hearts.

She knew very well that she did not want to become a hindrance in anyone's life, especially Sister Ji, Nan Weiwei, who was like a real sister to her.

"Then... are you sure you can handle it alone?" There was a hint of subtle worry in Nan Weiwei's voice. Her bright eyes were fixed on Xu Xiaoxiao's face, trying to find any sign of hesitation in the other's expression.

In her heart, Xu Xiaoxiao is always the younger sister who needs care. Even though time has passed, this feeling has never changed.

"Yes! It's okay, Sister Weiwei." Xu Xiaoxiao nodded again. This time, her smile was more relieved, as if she was using her smile to dispel all the haze around her. Her smile had the indomitable vitality described by Mo Yan. Even in the face of wind and rain, she could stand proudly and bloom with her own brilliance.

When Nan Weiwei saw this, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

She knew Xu Xiaoxiao's character and knew that once she made a decision, she would not easily turn back.

Moreover, thinking that Fu Yanchen was also in this city, Xu Xiaoxiao should be fine, and her worries were alleviated a little.

Nan Weiwei sighed softly, feeling both reluctant and relieved.

She patted Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulder. That gesture contained thousands of words, but in the end it just turned into one sentence: "Okay, then you be careful, and be sure to tell me if anything happens."

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded, with gratitude in her eyes. She knew that no matter how far and unknown the future was, the love from Sister Ji would be her strongest support.

"Then...Xiaoxiao, how are you going to deal with this matter regarding Lin Wan'er?"

There was a hint of tentativeness in Nan Weiwei's words. She was well aware of the entanglement between Lin Wan'er and Xu Xiaoxiao, as well as the name that always followed her like a shadow and was difficult to get rid of - Fu Yanchen.

"Or... you should tell Fu Yanchen! He... should be able to handle this kind of thing with ease."

There was a hint of helplessness in Nan Weiwei's words. She knew Fu Yanchen's abilities, and she understood his position in Xu Xiaoxiao's heart even more, even though that position was now full of thorns.

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao curled her lips into a wry smile, her eyes flashing with determination and helplessness.

"Forget it, tell him what to do? I'll handle it myself!"

Her voice was soft but it was firm and unquestionable.

"The few videos we have now are not enough to convict Lin Wan'er of a crime. The gang of thugs who smashed our coffee shop last night have not been caught. But if they dare to cause trouble again, I will call the police and will not let them go."

Xu Xiaoxiao's words carry the calm and resolute charm described by Eileen Chang. Even in the face of difficulties, she never loses her character.

After hearing this, Nan Weiwei sighed softly. She knew Xu Xiaoxiao's character and once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.

"Okay...if it really doesn't work, you...should look for Fu Yanchen!"

Her words were full of concern and helplessness, as if she was paving a way out for Xu Xiaoxiao, a way that might save her from some harm.

Xu Xiaoxiao was silent. She didn't know what to say and felt mixed emotions.

She looked up out the window. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves and onto the ground, mottled and colorful, just like her mood at the moment.

Fu Yanchen's existence is both salvation and restraint for her. It is the hurdle in her heart that cannot be easily crossed.

"Xiaoxiao... tell me honestly, if... Fu Yanchen shamelessly pursues you like this for the rest of your life, have you... ever considered forgiving him?"

Nan Weiwei spoke with some caution. She was afraid of touching the scar in Xu Xiaoxiao's heart, but she couldn't help but want to find a way out for her.

Xu Xiaoxiao fell silent again, her eyes became deep and complicated.

Did she ever think of forgiving? Perhaps on a quiet night, when loneliness and solitude followed her like a shadow, she had once wavered a little.

But whenever she thought of the past and the pain caused by Fu Yanchen, her heart ached as if it was being cut by a knife.

She knew that forgiveness was not easy, it required courage and time, and she was not ready at the moment.

Finally, Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head gently, her voice low and firm: "Weiwei, some things cannot be solved by just a word of forgiveness. I need time and space to heal those wounds. As for Fu Yanchen...if he is really willing to wait, then let him wait. But whether I can forgive and when I can forgive are my own business and have nothing to do with others."

"Okay...but...actually, I think you can consider giving him a chance. After all, he has feelings for you. Besides, didn't you say that love sometimes requires some adventures and attempts? Maybe this is an adventure and an attempt between you. If you are willing to give him a chance, maybe there will be unexpected gains? Of course, this is just my personal opinion, and the final decision is still in your hands. No matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Nan Weiwei's words were gentle yet forceful in their persuasion. Her eyes were fixed on Xu Xiaoxiao, trying to penetrate the other's heart and touch the softest and most secret corner.

When Xu Xiaoxiao heard this, her eyes trembled slightly, as if ripples appeared on the surface of a lake blown by a gust of wind.

She lowered her head, her fingers gently stroking the rim of the cup, her mind full of thoughts.

Nan Weiwei's words were like a key that gently touched the long-sealed lock in her heart.

"Xiaoxiao, actually... I can see that you still love him deep in your heart. Otherwise, why would you be willing to keep Yuxuan and let him and Fu Yanchen meet?"

Nan Weiwei continued, her voice full of understanding and sympathy, as if she was looking for an outlet for the love in Xu Xiaoxiao's heart.

Nan Weiwei had a faint smile on her lips and said softly, "No one knows you better than me, Xiaoxiao."

She paused, her eyes flashing with cunning, and continued, "I am a person who will never let go of a grudge. Xiaoxiao, if it were you, if you hated someone, I would not let him go so easily. I would be by his side every day, torturing him every day, making his life worse than death. Leave him? If he can't see us, he will forget his mistake. Isn't that a good deal for him?" After saying that, she laughed softly.

Her laughter showed confidence in her own opinions, as well as a bit of ridicule and mockery. Behind these seemingly lighthearted words, she revealed her deep understanding and concern for Xu Xiaoxiao.

She understood the pain in Xu Xiaoxiao's heart and knew how to truly help her out of her predicament.

Xu Xiaoxiao raised her head, her eyes slightly red. She looked at Nan Weiwei, as if looking for an answer, an answer that could make her feel relieved.

"But... Weiwei, I really don't know what to do. I love him, that's an indisputable fact. But the pain of the past can't be forgotten just like that. I..." Her voice choked and tears welled up in her eyes.

Nan Weiwei gently held Xu Xiaoxiao's hand, giving her warmth and strength.

"Xiaoxiao, I understand your pain and struggle. But you know what? Life is like a journey. We will always meet some people, experience some things, and then grow up. Fu Yanchen, he may be an important node in your life, a node that allows you to learn how to love and how to forgive. Give him a chance, and give yourself a chance to rewrite your story."

Xu Xiaoxiao sighed softly, obviously not wanting to continue this topic that made her upset.

She looked up at Nan Weiwei, with a look of helplessness and joking in her eyes, as if to say, "Sister Weiwei, why are you talking about this again?"

If she didn't know Nan Weiwei well enough and knew her character well, she might have mistakenly thought that Nan Weiwei was a "lobbyist" bribed by Fu Yanchen.

"Alright, alright, stop talking about me and take care of yourself! Your own affairs are a mess."

There was a hint of perfunctoriness in Xu Xiaoxiao's words, but they also revealed her closeness and dependence on Nan Weiwei.

She knew that Nan Weiwei mentioned Fu Yanchen again and again out of concern, but at this moment, she would rather transform this concern into attention to the store and her work.

"How about Xiao Meishi making drinks?"

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Nan Weiwei and asked, "Are you doing well in your studies?"

After all, this is related to the future development of her coffee shop. She doesn't want the store to be without delicious coffee because of Nan Weiwei's departure. It would be embarrassing if the store could not continue to operate because of this.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling a little heavy.

But at the same time, I also understand that everyone has their own choices and life paths, and she cannot force Nan Weiwei to stay here forever.

Therefore, she could only try her best to train Xiaomei so that they could adapt to the work and make progress as soon as possible.

In this way, even if Nan Weiwei left, her coffee shop could still operate smoothly.

There was a hint of joking in Xu Xiaoxiao's words, but they also revealed her concerns and expectations about the future of the store.

Nan Weiwei is an expert at making coffee and has a passion for it. She is reluctant to let Nan Weiwei leave, but Xu Xiaoxiao also understands that everyone has their own path to take, and Nan Weiwei is no exception.

Nan Weiwei raised her lips to a wry smile when she heard this. She knew that Xu Xiaoxiao was trying to change the subject, but she didn't expose her.

She knew that Xu Xiaoxiao needed time to deal with her emotional problems, and as a friend, all she could do was to accompany and support her silently.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao. I will teach Xiaomei well and make sure that every drop of coffee essence I learn from you will not be lost."

There was a hint of firmness and commitment in Nan Weiwei's words, as if she was looking for a reassuring answer to the worries in Xu Xiaoxiao's heart.

After hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao nodded slightly, with gratitude and trust flashing in her eyes.

She knew that with Nan Weiwei around, the store's future was secure.

And she herself also needs to adjust her mindset as soon as possible to face the past and future that cannot be avoided.

The sunlight outside the window shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls on the ground, creating a mottled effect.

"Just, smile..."
