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

Fine beads of sweat oozed from Xiaomei's cousin's forehead. He knelt on the ground, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes full of despair and pleading.

"Please, I'll be finished if you call the police. Three generations of my children will be ruined." His voice was tearful, and it was obvious that he had reached his wit's end.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the scene in front of her and felt mixed emotions. A grown man was actually crying.

Although she is usually carefree, she can't help but feel soft-hearted at this moment.

After all, this is Xiaomei's cousin, and the relationship between her and Xiaomei makes it difficult for her to be completely ruthless.

Fu Yanchen stood aside, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing unquestionable determination.

What he hated most was men who dared to do things but not to take responsibility. At this moment, he had already taken out his cell phone, ready to call the police.

"Forget it, Fu Yanchen." Xu Xiaoxiao finally spoke, with a hint of helplessness in her voice, "Give me back the money I embezzled. Remember, you are not allowed to look for Xiaomei. You cannot let her know about this, otherwise I will call the police immediately."

When Xiaomei's cousin heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, but then it dimmed again.

"But, money, I have already bought a house, and I can't sell it for a while!" There was a hint of bitterness in his words.

Hearing this, Fu Yanchen sneered, "You don't have to worry about this. Just transfer the house to Xiaoxiao's name. My lawyer from Fu Group will help you with everything."

There was an authority in his tone that brooked no rejection, as if in his world, no excuses were valid.

Xiaomei's cousin wanted to make another excuse, "But...I still have personal belongings in there."

"Those personal belongings were also bought with public funds, right?" Fu Yanchen's eyes were as sharp as a knife. "In that case, let's forget it. Do you have any excuses? Or do you not want to pay back the money? Then I can only handle the matter impartially."

His voice was cold and ruthless, and it was obvious that he did not feel sorry for someone who dared to do something but not take responsibility for it.

Xiaomei's cousin was completely desperate. He knew that in front of Fu Yanchen, all his excuses seemed so pale and powerless.

He could only nod silently and accept this unchangeable outcome.

Under Fu Yanchen's swift and decisive action, things went extremely smoothly.

The house was quickly transferred to Xu Xiaoxiao's name, and she posted the house sale agreement as soon as possible.

What Xu Xiaoxiao could not have imagined was that the house would soon attract the attention of buyers and was eventually purchased by a retired cadre who loved the quiet life in a small county town.

It only took three days from the beginning to the end of this matter, and it all seemed like a quick battle.

Xiaomei was taking care of her grandmother in the countryside and had no idea about all this, and Xu Xiaoxiao had no intention of telling her about it.

As for the current situation of Xiaomei's cousin, Xu Xiaoxiao no longer had the time to care about it and was unwilling to inquire about it anymore.

She felt that she was being very tolerant of him by not calling the police.

She really doesn't have the energy or patience to pay attention to such irresponsible people.

"Xiaoxiao, you didn't tell me such a big thing. If the money can't be recovered, are you planning to secretly use the money to make up for it yourself?"

Nan pouted slightly, looking a little unhappy. How could Xu Xiaoxiao be like this? They had clearly agreed to share the hard times, but in the end she was the only one prepared to do it. Fortunately, the money was returned.

"Weiwei, don't be angry. This happened too suddenly. I was so anxious that I really wanted to solve the matter first. After all, it's Xiaomei's cousin's business. I don't want to involve you."

Xu Xiaoxiao took Nan Weiwei's hand and explained apologetically.

"But Xiaoxiao, didn't we agree to share the difficulties? How can you bear it alone?" Nan pouted slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Xu Xiaoxiao's behavior.

"I'm sorry, Weiwei. I know I was wrong. This time I was too impulsive and didn't consider your feelings. I promise that no matter what happens in the future, I will tell you the first time and we will face it together. Besides, I had Fu Yanchen's help this time, so I didn't have to think about it."

Xu Xiaoxiao apologized sincerely. She knew that her actions this time had indeed disappointed Nan Weiwei.

"Okay, I'll forgive you this time. But next time you must remember that we are good friends and we share the same difficulties." Nan Weiwei looked at Xu Xiaoxiao's sincere look and finally forgave her.

"Yes, I promise. I won't do this again."

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, her heart full of gratitude. She knew that it was really a happy thing to have a friend like Nan Weiwei around.

Originally, she didn't want Nan Weiwei to know about this bad thing, but Sister Na told her.

"Hehe, but, Xiaoxiao, are you ready to forgive Fu Yanchen? Otherwise, why would you let him deal with this kind of thing this time?" Nan Weiwei said to Xu Xiaoxiao.

"I have forgiven him a long time ago. I forgave him three years ago when he saved the baby. But, forgiveness doesn't mean acceptance, understand? The gap between us is too deep, and it will take a lifetime to fill it."

"Actually, it's you who can't let go! Xiaoxiao, sometimes you have to learn to let go. Some things have already happened, so don't keep brooding about them." Nan Weiwei didn't want Xu Xiaoxiao to be alone for the rest of her life.

"It's been so long since the incident happened, and you and Fu Yanchen even have a child. You can actually consider it."

"Weiwei, I understand what you said, but...some things really can't be let go just by saying so."

Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with complexity, and she sighed softly, "The gap between Fu Yanchen and I is not just about time. It involves trust, betrayal, and our respective life trajectories. I forgave him, but it doesn't mean I can accept him entering my life again without any grudges."

Nan Weiwei looked at Xu Xiaoxiao with a look of heartache in her eyes. She knew that Xu Xiaoxiao actually understood these principles better than anyone else, but sometimes, emotional entanglements would make it difficult for people to extricate themselves.

"Xiaoxiao, I know this is difficult. However, life is always full of variables. Maybe one day, you will find that those gaps that you thought you could never cross are actually just because you don't have the courage to take that step."

Nan Weiwei gently held Xu Xiaoxiao's hand and said softly, "I don't want you to be alone for the rest of your life. I hope you can find your own happiness."

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Nan Weiwei with tears in her eyes. She knew that Nan Weiwei sincerely hoped that she could live a happy life. However, happiness always seemed so far away from her.

"Weiwei, thank you. I know you're doing this for my own good. But some things really take time to digest. I can't let it go completely yet, but maybe one day in the future, I'll figure it out."

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled gently, with a hint of bitterness and helplessness in that smile.

"Besides, I'm not alone. I still have you guys here with me. And the girls in the store, you're all my family."

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and said something.

"Well, okay! You think about it yourself." Nan Weiwei knew that there was no point in saying anything more, so she stopped talking.

They didn't notice Fu Yanchen standing at the door of the store. With a bad look on his face, he turned around and prepared to leave, only to meet Sister Na who was coming back from doing some business.

"Hey, Mr. Fu, you're here." Sister Na asked when she saw Fu Yanchen standing at the door without going in.

"Well, I'm here and want to drink your coffee." Fu Yanchen responded softly, but his eyes involuntarily turned to Xu Xiaoxiao who was talking with Nan Weiwei in the store.

His face still looked a little grim, as if he was hiding something in his heart.

"I'll call them? Xiaoxiao... help you make a cup." Sister Na asked.

"No, I'm just too tired from dealing with documents. Come here to relax and don't disturb them."

Seeing this, Sister Na didn't ask any more questions, but just greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Fu, come in and sit down. I'll make it for you. What would you like to drink today? Still the same as before?"

Fu Yanchen nodded and walked into the store.

He found a seat and sat down, but his eyes still drifted towards Xu Xiaoxiao from time to time.

He knew in his heart that he might still be an insurmountable existence for Xu Xiaoxiao, but he also knew that he could not let her go so easily.

Xu Xiaoxiao and Nan Weiwei were still talking, not noticing Fu Yanchen coming in. They were chatting about trivial matters in the store and occasionally mentioned some little interesting things in life.

Fu Yanchen sat aside, listening silently, feeling mixed emotions.

He longed to enter Xu Xiaoxiao's life again, but was afraid that his presence would bring her unnecessary trouble.

In this way, time passed little by little, and the atmosphere in the store remained warm and harmonious.

Fu Yanchen was also waiting silently, hoping that the gap between him and Xu Xiaoxiao would be slowly filled.

The two of them had talked enough and turned around to see Fu Yanchen not far away. Xu Xiaoxiao looked a little unhappy.

Nan Weiwei, ".......Hey, um...when did Mr. Fu come?"
