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

Fu Family Mansion

Fu Yanchen sat alone in the study. The sunlight outside the window was mottled, but it seemed unable to penetrate the gloom in his heart.

His eyes fell on a yellowed photo on the table. It was Xu Xiaoxiao. Her smile used to be as bright as a summer sunflower, warm and pure, able to dispel all the haze in an instant.

But now, Xu Xiaoxiao's face no longer has the bright smile of the past, and instead there is an indescribable melancholy and heaviness.

Fu Yanchen's heart couldn't help but ache. He knew that all these changes were due to his distrust.

Just as he was lost in his thoughts, a soft knock on the door interrupted his meditation.

"Come in."

Lin Nuo pushed the door open and walked in, with a look of urgency on his face.

"Sir, someone saw a person who looked very similar to Lu Zhengguo appear at the residence of the Lu family mother and daughter. His whereabouts were secretive."

Upon hearing this, Fu Yanchen curled up the corner of his mouth into a meaningful smile. In that smile, he understood the development of the situation clearly, but also concealed a bit of coldness.

"Haha, he finally couldn't hold it back anymore. He probably couldn't make it anymore, so he came back to ask his mother for money."

"You want money? What money does the Lu family have now?"

"There's no cash, but there should be jewelry. Anyway, a lean camel is bigger than a horse."

"Lin Nuo, you go there in person and keep a close eye on their every move. I want to be the first to know of any disturbance."

"Yes, sir, I understand." Lin Nuo responded and retreated.

The study room was once again peaceful, with only the occasional chirping of birds outside the window, seeming to be telling an unknown secret.

Fu Yanchen's gaze fell on the photo again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xiaoxiao, his Xiaoxiao gave birth to a child for him.

Lujia

As the night deepened, outside the Lu family’s door, a quiet alley was barely illuminated by the dim street lights.

Lu Zhengguo stood in the shadows, looking furtive and nervous.

From time to time, he looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar door, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes - a longing for home and fear of the unknown.

He knew that every move he made at this moment might be seen by others, especially the name that made him hate and fear - Fu Yanchen.

He actually had no intention of becoming an enemy of Fu Yanchen, he just wanted to use Fu Yanchen to help the Lu family. Unexpectedly, in the years when he was in trouble, the Lu family was messed up by his two sisters, and Fu Yanchen was offended.

He always knew that the person Fu Yanchen loved was Xu Xiaoxiao, so he had never taken action against Xu Xiaoxiao before. He even persuaded Lu Jingjing and others not to mess with Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiaoxiao is Fu Yanchen's bottom line. He never thought that these two idiots would take advantage of his absence to frame Xu Xiaoxiao and drag his family into the abyss.

Now Fu Yanchen's influence spreads throughout the city, and it is easy for him to monitor someone.

Otherwise, the sealed house would not be returned to the Lu family so quickly. Even though he knew that the house was left by his grandfather and had nothing to do with the Lu family's accounts, he did not dare to go back rashly.

He knew that this was just an excuse, a fancy cover. Lu Zhengguo knew very well that although the property was left by his grandfather and had no direct connection with the Lu family's shady accounts, even so, it would not be possible to return it so smoothly.

Behind all this, there must be Fu Yanchen's invisible hand controlling it.

He took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner panic.

It was quiet all around, with only the occasional barking of dogs in the distance and the rustling of leaves in the night wind. But to Lu Zhengguo, these subtle sounds sounded like someone was secretly spying on him.

He felt like a prey targeted by a hunter, with nowhere to escape.

Just then, a gust of wind blew by, bringing a hint of coolness, and seemed to blow away some of the haze in his heart.

Lu Zhengguo looked up at the starry sky, and those twinkling stars seemed to be silently encouraging him.

He clenched his fists and finally made up his mind to think of a good way to meet his mother and sister, tricking them into selling the house and taking the money to go abroad.

But before he could come up with a solution, something happened to his mother.

"..."

At the confinement center, Xu Xiaoxiao was packing some daily necessities while the doctor at the confinement center was giving her child a routine physical examination, otherwise she would have to rush to pack up when she was discharged from the hospital in a few days.

In the room, soft light shines in every corner, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Xu Xiaoxiao has become much softer after becoming a mother.

While she was tidying up, she occasionally looked out the window, enjoying this rare moment of peace.

But this tranquility did not last long.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open with a sharp sound, breaking the silence in the room.

A young nurse rushed in with a panicked look on her face, her eyes revealing obvious anxiety and uneasiness.

"Miss Xu, child, child."

The nurse's voice trembled slightly, and it was obvious that something was not normal.

Xu Xiaoxiao was a little stunned by this sudden situation. She stopped what she was doing and looked at the nurse in confusion, with an ominous premonition in her heart. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the child?"

She asked hurriedly, with a barely perceptible nervousness in her voice.

The little nurse did not answer directly, but urged more anxiously.

"Child, what's wrong with the child?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked anxiously. Her heartbeat began to accelerate and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

The nurse's face turned pale instantly, and her voice trembled noticeably: "Miss Xu, the child...the child is missing."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Xu Xiaoxiao stunned on the spot.

Her fingertips pinched her palm unconsciously, and the pain brought her back to her senses a little, but her mind was still blank.

"Missing? What do you mean?... How could he be missing? Explain it to me clearly!"

Xu Xiaoxiao's voice began to become sharp as she tried hard to get more information from the nurse.

The nurse took a deep breath and said tremblingly, "I just took the child for a normal check-up and found that the child had difficulty breathing, so I called the doctor to come and check thoroughly. But when the doctor and I came back, we found that the child was not in the room. I asked other nurses, and they all said they didn't see him. We searched all possible places, but couldn't find him."

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet and rushing straight to her head.

Her hands began to tremble unconsciously and tears welled up in her eyes.

She couldn't believe that her child had disappeared inexplicably in such a safe place like a confinement center.

"We have to go find him! The surveillance, the surveillance in your confinement center shouldn't be just for show."

"No, no." The staff member forgot about the surveillance in his haste.

Xu Xiaoxiao turned around suddenly and ran to the baby room.

She had only one thought in her mind, which was to find her child as soon as possible. No matter what danger he encountered, she would bring him back safely.

The doctor ordered monitoring.

A nurse came over and said, "It's bad..."
