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

"Fu Yanchen, what are you doing here?"

There was a hint of vigilance and impatience in Xu Xiaoxiao's voice. He didn't let his sister into the house. Who could guarantee that he hadn't drunk a drop of alcohol today?

A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, including wariness of the past and uneasiness about the unknown.

The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, casting mottled shadows, but it could not shine into her tightly closed heart.

Seeing this, Fu Yanchen quickly explained: "This time, I really didn't drink, and it was during the day, so I won't do anything to you."

His tone was sincere, and his eyes were full of sincerity and desire, as if he was trying to prove his innocence and seemed to be looking for an opportunity for reconciliation.

He knew that his last behavior had left an indelible shadow on Xu Xiaoxiao, but he still hoped to make up for those mistakes with actions.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao remained silent, feeling mixed emotions.

She recalled those nights that were once blinded by alcohol and desire. When did Fu Yanchen ever distinguish between day and night? Those memories were like sharp blades, tearing her heart again and again, making her wary and alienated from the man in front of her.

"Let's talk outside if you have anything to say. I don't want your assistant to block me on the street again."

Xu Xiaoxiao finally spoke, with a hint of fatigue and helplessness in her voice.

She knew that the dispute with Fu Yanchen could not be explained in just a few words, but she also did not want this dispute to become a topic of conversation on the streets.

What's more, Chen Xia's aggressive attitude made her more determined to stay away from it all.

"What do you mean? Chen Xia is looking for you again?"

Fu Yanchen's brows were furrowed, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

He knew very well what his assistant Chen Xia was thinking. He had already reminded her, but he did not expect that she would be so bold to go find Xu Xiaoxiao.

This made him very dissatisfied. After all, he didn't want his private affairs to become the topic of conversation for others after dinner, and he didn't want it to affect Xu Xiaoxiao's life.

Xu Xiaoxiao did not answer, but just looked at him silently, with an expression that said, "I will believe you, don't you know?"

Fu Yanchen's eyes were fixed on Xu Xiaoxiao's slightly indifferent face, and he was eager to explain all the misunderstandings.

"Xiaoxiao, I really didn't know Chen Xia would come to find you."

His voice trembled slightly, mixed with an undisguised urgency and deep guilt, as if he was a frightened deer, panic-stricken and at a loss.

That deep voice seemed to carry a heavy burden, and every word revealed his deep inner strong remorse for being unable to stop this series of events in time.

"I had indeed arranged for Su Rou to come and help, but things never go as planned! At this critical moment, her mother suddenly fell ill and was hospitalized. Her condition was very critical. As a daughter, she was naturally very worried and had to rush home to take care of her mother in person. According to the current situation, her mother's condition may be quite serious, and it is estimated that it will take at least a week for her to stabilize and gradually recover. Therefore, there is really no choice but to let Su Rou stay at home to take care of her for a while."

Having said that, he sighed helplessly, his face full of regret.

Having said this, he paused for a moment, as if organizing his next words to ensure that every word could accurately convey his meaning.

"Look, Su Rou will be arriving in Lin City on a flight at 8am the day after tomorrow. I have already arranged for Chen Xia to leave tomorrow night and go directly to Africa. It will probably take her two or three years to come back this time, and this kind of thing will never happen again."

His tone was full of firmness and determination, as if he was assuring Xu Xiaoxiao that he would handle everything and would not let anything like this happen again.

He knew that Xu Xiaoxiao's trust in him was almost gone, but he still hoped that through his own efforts, he could regain her trust little by little and rebuild their relationship.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao just looked at Fu Yanchen in silence, with complex emotions flashing in her deep eyes.

She didn't know whether to believe him or continue to be wary.

Fu Yanchen's past behavior did break her heart, but this time his explanation and arrangement did not sound like a lie or perfunctory.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and there was a brief silence between the two.

Fu Yanchen nervously waited for Xu Xiaoxiao's response, while Xu Xiaoxiao was weighing the pros and cons deep in her heart, wondering whether she should give him another chance.

Finally, Xu Xiaoxiao spoke slowly, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice: "Fu Yanchen, I know you have done a lot of wrong things in the past, and it is difficult for me to trust you all of a sudden. But if you really want to change and want our relationship to improve, then prove it with your actions. This time, I will trust you for once."

Although her tone was calm, it revealed a rare kind of compromise and trust.

She knew that she could not easily forget the pain of the past, but she also understood that she could not move towards the future if she continued to immerse herself in the shadow of the past.

She was willing to give Fu Yanchen a chance, and also give herself a chance, to try to rebuild the broken trust and to explore whether there was still possibility between them.

"Xiaoxiao, are you really willing to believe me?" There was a hint of caution in Fu Yanchen's voice, as if he was testing Xu Xiaoxiao's bottom line, and as if he was confirming the expectation in his heart.

There were complex emotions flashing in his eyes, including anticipation, nervousness, and a hint of barely perceptible sadness.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao raised her eyes slightly, her gaze like the rippling lake, calm yet deep.

"I just said that I believe you don't know that Chen Xia came to see me."

Her voice was calm and even, as if she was stating a fact without much emotion. However, behind these words, she was deeply wary of Fu Yanchen and had doubts that had not yet completely dissipated.

Fu Yanchen's heart sank to the bottom again after hearing this, and the joy and expectation that had just risen up in his heart were shattered in an instant.

However, he did not give up, but instead caught a glimmer of hope from this sentence.

He knew that Xu Xiaoxiao was willing to believe what he said about Chen Xia, which meant that she had begun to try to accept him and slowly forgive his past mistakes.

"Then...can I come in?" Fu Yanchen mustered up his courage and spoke again.

There was a hint of pleading in his voice, as if he was showing Xu Xiaoxiao his vulnerability and desire.

He knew that only by entering the space that belonged to them would he have the opportunity to communicate more deeply with Xu Xiaoxiao and have the opportunity to further restore their relationship.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, as if weighing the pros and cons.

She knew that if she let Fu Yanchen in, it would mean that she would have to face those complicated emotions and memories again.

However, she also understood that if she kept him out, he would stay outside the door all day long, which would be very annoying, so she took a deep breath and slowly said, "Come in!"

Although her voice was flat, it revealed a sense of helplessness and compromise.

She knew that she could not escape from the past forever, nor could she keep Fu Yanchen out forever.

She was willing to give him a chance, and also give herself a chance, to try to face those complicated emotions and memories again, to explore whether there was still possibility between them.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yanchen felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

He knew that this was another manifestation of Xu Xiaoxiao's tolerance and trust in him.

He gently pushed open the door and slowly walked into the space that belonged to them, as if he was walking into a whole new world.

He knew that this opportunity was hard-won, and he would definitely cherish it and use his actions to prove his change and determination.
