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

"Fu Yanchen, don't you even hesitate when you lie? Are you afraid of the dark? This is a huge joke! How can a person who often drives home alone late at night be afraid of the dark? Do you think that I, Xu Xiaoxiao, am immature and as easy to deceive as a child? Enough, really enough! Go away now, leave me, leave Linshi, from now on, I don't want to see you in my world anymore."

There was a suffocating silence in the air, and the two seemed to be bound by invisible shackles, unable to move.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and every second was prolonged with endless embarrassment and pain.

Finally, after a long silence, Xu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

Her eyes became unusually firm, as if at this moment she had regained her long-lost self and courage.

"Fu Yanchen, I'm telling you clearly now that I won't go back with you. Don't make any unnecessary moves. This coffee shop is not only my business, but also my emotional sustenance. It's the dream place that my friends and I have woven together. It's not easy for them to find jobs one by one. Finally, there is a place where they can be free and make money. I won't abandon it for any reason, and I won't abandon those partners who gave me warmth and support in my most difficult times. Not only do you men have friends and emotional sustenance, but we do too."

"Fu Yanchen, do you know? When I face you, I feel mixed emotions. Thinking back to the days we spent together, the moments of laughter and tears, it seems that they are still vivid in my mind. However, now, apart from that innocent child, there seems to be no more closely connected bond between us."

"Yes, I must honestly admit that even though you have hurt me deeply, leaving my heart broken and scarred, I still cannot hate you completely. Perhaps it is because we once loved each other, and that feeling remains deep in my heart even though it has been eroded by time. But this does not mean that I can easily forgive the mistakes you have made. I am not as cruel as you, and I cannot hate you just because I say so."

"Xiaoxiao, it's not like that. I have never hated you. I was just disappointed at first. I thought you really... I never thought of taking your life. As for the surgery, I... never thought... that the Lu family would bribe the doctor."

"Yes, distrust is the rift between us. It is now like a deep ravine that is difficult to fill no matter how hard you try, Fu Yanchen, do you know? Every time I recall the contradictions and conflicts in the past, the rift will appear more and more clearly in front of me, reminding me how unforgettable the pain in the past was. I can't be honest with you. In this case, why should we be entangled together and continue to torture each other?"

"Fu Yanchen, why don't we just leave it like this, let's choose to be well on our own, leave a quiet space for each other, and let me hate you less. Maybe only in this way can we have the opportunity to let go of the burden of the past, re-examine our own life path, and pursue the happy life that we truly desire. Let time slowly heal the wounds of our hearts, let everything drift away with the wind, and become a wisp of smoke in the memory. I believe you can find a girl you love, or who loves you."

After saying this, Xu Xiaoxiao felt an unprecedented sense of relief in her heart, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her.

She knew that this was not just a farewell to Fu Yanchen, but also a way of letting go of her past and bravely welcoming the infinite possibilities of the future.

Xu Xiaoxiao remained calm, but a barely perceptible fluctuation flashed in her eyes.

Fu Yanchen sat down and faced Xu Xiaoxiao's series of words. She did not respond immediately, but looked at him quietly, as if trying to read more emotions from his deep eyes. Xu Xiaoxiao was even more silent than him.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Fu Yanchen couldn't help but speak with a hint of urgency and helplessness:

"Let each other go? It's easy to say these four simple words, but how can we truly let go? If the so-called letting go is only for you, then how can I forgive my own broken heart? So many years have passed, and I have tried my best again and again to erase the past from my memory, trying to stop clinging to what happened and let it go freely."

Xu Xiaoxiao was stunned...

"But, Xiaoxiao...what was the final outcome? Only complete failure with no room for maneuver! Every silent and deserted night, when memories come flooding back like a tidal wave, the heart-wrenching pain will once again severely torture my soul, making it impossible for me to break free from the shackles of pain."

Fu Yanchen held his head in his hands, his face full of pain.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Fu Yanchen in front of her with astonishment, her mouth wide open, but she couldn't utter a word. At this moment, her heart was like a raging storm, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

Because she never expected that Fu Yanchen, who was always cold and aloof, would show such an affectionate side.

For a long time, in Xu Xiaoxiao's impression, Fu Yanchen was like an iceberg that had never melted, cold and hard, making it difficult for people to approach him.

His eyes, as deep as a pool of water, seemed to always hide endless indifference and alienation, as if nothing in the world could catch his eye.

Therefore, Xu Xiaoxiao naturally believed that a man like Fu Yanchen must be the kind of person who has no emotions or love and a heart as hard as stone.

However, the scene before her at this moment made her a little uneasy.

"Xiaoxiao, you know what? For four years, every day and every night, my mind is filled with your figure, your smile, and your voice. Xiaoxiao, stop making trouble, okay? Come home with me! The Fu family needs you, and the Fu Group also needs you, Mrs. Fu, to stabilize the situation. More importantly, Yuxuan needs you. He needs a complete family and a loving mother. I believe Yuxuan also wants a complete family. He is very sensitive and has noticed that there is a problem between us."

When Xu Xiaoxiao heard the name "Yuxuan", her eyes trembled slightly, but then she regained her composure.

She shook her head gently, with an imperceptible tremor in her voice: "Fu Yanchen, home? Do I still have a home? The home I once thought of, the place full of laughter and warmth, is... gone. It disappeared silently when I needed you the most, when I was most helpless. That home has been destroyed by the misunderstandings, quarrels and indifference between us, and it can never go back to the past."

Before she was 18 years old, she had always firmly believed that the Fu family was her warm harbor that could protect her from wind and rain, and Fu Yanchen was like a guardian angel, giving her endless love and care.

At that time, she naively believed that the bond between them would be as strong as steel, tightly connecting them to each other and becoming family members who would accompany each other for life and never be separated.

However...as the saying goes, "There are unexpected changes in the weather", the wheel of fate turns mercilessly, and those beautiful visions that once seemed indestructible are shattered by reality in an instant, making everything unpredictable.

Xu Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, as if trying to sort out her emotions.

Then she continued, "Yuxuan, of course I love him. He is my son and the most important part of my life. However, I cannot sacrifice my principles and dignity just because I love him. I need a real home, a home based on mutual respect and understanding, not a place full of lies and hypocrisy. Fu Yanchen, you should understand that we are no longer who we were four years ago. We have all changed. Some things, once they happen, can never be turned back."

Xu Xiaoxiao's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Fu Yanchen's heart hard.

He stood there, with a flash of pain and confusion in his eyes, as if at this moment he truly realized that the distance between them had become so far that he could no longer easily cross it.

Fu Yanchen's mouth twitched with difficulty, his tone full of bitterness and unwillingness: "Xiaoxiao, is it true that all I have left for you is only hatred? Is there not even a trace of love between us?..."

His eyes were filled with complex emotions, including confusion, self-blame, and deep sadness, as if at this moment he deeply realized how deep the harm he had brought to Xu Xiaoxiao was.

Xu Xiaoxiao remained silent, her eyes were empty and distant, as if they had drifted to some distant past, or some corner of the future.

She didn't want to touch those memories again, no matter whether they were sweet past or painful memories. Now they were like heavy shackles to her. Every time she recalled them, her heart would suffer a new torment.

She took a deep breath and tried to keep herself calm.

She understood that the past could not be changed, whether it was good or painful, it had become a part of her life, but she did not want the past to continue to affect her present and future.

What she wanted was a fresh start, a space where she could breathe and live freely.

Fu Yanchen looked at Xu Xiaoxiao's silent back, and an indescribable sense of loss and pain surged in his heart.

He understands...
