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

"No, Nan Yifeng, listen to me, I've been pretending to be sick for a week. I've been staying at home all day, facing four walls. If I don't go out for some fresh air, I'm really going to get sick. Think about it, if this peacemaking is successful, everyone will be happy; but what if it fails? Then I'll completely lose face in my circle of friends, how can I face people in the future?"

There was a hint of anxiety and helplessness in Fu Yanchen's voice.

"Yan Chen, think about it carefully,"

Nan Yifeng persuaded earnestly on the other end of the phone, "Is it more important to soften Xu Xiaoxiao's heart and win back her trust and affection, or is it your illusory face that is more important? Feelings are something that, once you miss the best opportunity to redeem them, you may never get them back. And face, it's just an illusion in the eyes of others, and it's far less real than happiness."

"But, Nan Yifeng, even after all I've done, Xu Xiaoxiao still ignores me. Look at her cold expression, it seems like she has completely given up on me and won't forgive me. I really don't know what to do. I feel like there's darkness ahead and I can't hold on any longer."

Fu Yanchen's tone revealed deep frustration and fatigue.

"Don't give up so quickly, Yan Chen. There is another solution that is not a solution. Although it is a bit extreme, it may work. That is, you can return to your previous paranoid personality and go directly to Xu Xiaoxiao. Take her home at all costs and force her to stay with you. Of course, this is not a long-term solution, but in the short term, it may make her feel your determination and reluctance, and maybe it can touch her heartstrings and make her re-evaluate the relationship between you two."

There was a hint of hesitation in Nan Yifeng's voice, but it was more of encouragement and support for his friend, "However, you have to be careful not to hurt her, otherwise it will be irreparable."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yanchen fell into a long silence. He knew that this suggestion was like a double-edged sword. If used well, it might rekindle the fire of hope, but if used poorly, it might completely cut off their future.

"No way! I will never hurt Xiaoxiao again!"

Fu Yanchen's eyes widened, with an extremely determined light flashing in his eyes, as if that light could penetrate all obstacles and doubts.

He clenched his fists tightly, and his arms were shaking slightly from the excessive force.

Nan Yifeng on the other end of the phone looked at Fu Yanchen who was so determined, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Since you are so determined, then accompany her well. In fact, girls are very easy to coax. As long as you treat her with your heart, care for her, love her, and give her enough sense of security, I believe she will soon forget the hurt she has suffered."

Finally, he took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind: "Okay, Nan Yifeng, thank you for your advice. I will consider it carefully. No matter what, I will try my best. Even if the result is not satisfactory, at least I have tried my best and will not have any regrets."

In the endless darkness, Xu Xiaoxiao's originally relaxed body suddenly stiffened almost imperceptibly, as if it was instantly fixed by an invisible force.

There was silence all around, with only her gentle breathing and heartbeat echoing in her ears.

However, in this quiet atmosphere, the voice coming from the other end of the phone was extremely clear, as if it was very close.

That was the conversation between Fu Yanchen and Nan Yifeng. Every word was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Xu Xiaoxiao's heart.

She opened her eyes wide, listening to their conversation in disbelief, and an indescribable complex emotion suddenly surged in her heart.

All kinds of emotions intertwined together, tangled like a tangled mess, making it almost impossible for her to think.

Anger, disappointment, and a hint of barely perceptible pain intertwined together, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Finally, she couldn't bear it any longer and kicked the closed door open. The emotions that had been pent up for a long time burst out like a flood.

"Fu Yanchen, you lied to me!"

Xu Xiaoxiao's voice sounded particularly harsh in the silent night. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Fu Yanchen's heart hard.

Fu Yanchen was immersed in a conversation with Nan Yifeng and did not expect Xu Xiaoxiao to appear at all.

He turned around suddenly and saw Xu Xiaoxiao standing at the door. The once familiar and gentle face was now covered with frost, and her eyes were flashing with anger and disappointment.

His heart suddenly tightened and the phone in his hand involuntarily slipped to the ground with a crisp "pop" sound.

"Xiaoxiao, why... haven't you rested yet?"

There was a hint of panic and uneasiness in Fu Yanchen's voice. He tried to hide his embarrassment and guilt, but his eyes betrayed his true feelings.

Xu Xiaoxiao did not answer, but just stared at him coldly. Those eyes that were once full of love were now like a cold sword, piercing Fu Yanchen's heart.

Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, including disappointment, anger, but more of an indescribable sadness.

Now he is using deception to win her back, which makes her feel extremely sad.

There was a depressing and heavy atmosphere in the air, as if even breathing had become difficult.

Fu Yanchen looked at Xu Xiaoxiao, his heart filled with guilt and self-blame. He knew that no matter how he explained, he could not erase the scars left in her heart by this deception.

Xu Xiaoxiao also made a decision at this moment. She had already wavered, but why? Why did Fu Yanchen lie to her again?

She must re-examine this relationship and reconsider whether she should continue this relationship full of lies and deception.

"Xiaoxiao, why don't you go to rest yet?" Fu Yanchen's eyes were evasive, with a barely perceptible trace of guilt on his face, and he glanced at Xu Xiaoxiao cautiously.

Xu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and sneered, "Hmph, if I went to rest, how could I hear such interesting things!" Her beautiful face seemed a little distorted because of anger, and her originally clear and bright eyes were now flashing with anger.

The two of them just faced each other in silence, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Fu Yanchen's eyes revealed deep regret. He slowly approached Xu Xiaoxiao, and every step seemed unusually heavy.

He wanted to reach out and hold her hand, but was afraid of being rejected, so he could only stop less than a centimeter away from her, undecided.

"Xiaoxiao, I know I was wrong and I shouldn't have lied to you. But I really want to reconcile with you. I'm afraid of losing you, so afraid that I can even give up my dignity."

Fu Yanchen's voice was low and sincere, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom of his heart, carrying unconcealable pain and self-blame.

Xu Xiaoxiao turned her head slightly to avoid his gaze. She was struggling and weighing the options inside.

She felt Fu Yanchen's sincerity, but the past hurt and betrayal still seemed like an insurmountable gap between them.

"Fu Yanchen, do you know? True love should not be based on deception. You lied this time to win me back, but what about next time? Will you choose to conceal it again for other purposes?"

Although Xu Xiaoxiao's voice was calm, the determination in it could not be ignored.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yanchen's face turned even paler. He knew very well that his mistake had touched Xu Xiaoxiao's bottom line.

But he did not retreat. Instead, he stood more firmly, looking straight into Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes.

"Xiaoxiao, I admit that I was wrong this time, and I am willing to spend the rest of my life making up for it. From now on, whether it is joy or sorrow, I will tell you honestly and never hide anything. Give me a chance, let's start over, okay?"

Fu Yanchen's tone was full of pleading. He was willing to give everything he had in exchange for Xu Xiaoxiao's forgiveness and trust.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Fu Yanchen, the eyes that once made her heart beat were now full of sincerity and determination.

She knew that it was not easy to let go of the past, but she also understood that everyone makes mistakes. The key is whether they are willing to correct them and whether they are willing to work hard for each other's future.

Finally, Xu Xiaoxiao sighed softly, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

She did not give an answer immediately, but turned and walked to the window, looking at the quiet night sky outside.

"Fu Yanchen, I once felt that I needed time. I needed time to think and judge. The relationship between us cannot be repaired overnight. I will seriously consider your request and will not make a decision easily, but I hate deception and I want to be quiet."

Fu Yanchen felt a little disappointed when he heard this, but he also understood that this was the biggest concession Xu Xiaoxiao could make.

He nodded silently and swore in his heart that no matter what the outcome, he would use his actions to prove his sincerity and determination.

The night was still deep and silent. But for Fu Yanchen and Xu Xiaoxiao, this night was a new beginning. A future full of hope and unknown was waiting for them.

"Fu Yanchen..."
