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

Chapter 1581 Giving birth

In the Fu family's cozy and somewhat lazy bedroom, soft lighting illuminated every corner.

Xu Xiaoxiao, dressed in a loose and comfortable nightgown, sat cross-legged on the soft bed, holding her phone tightly in her hand, her eyes somewhat vacant, lost in thought.

She frowned slightly, her mind replaying the tone of Nan Yifeng's voice when he answered the phone earlier. His tone was neither too loud nor too soft, like a fog, leaving her somewhat unsure of the situation.

Her lips trembled slightly, as if she were nervous and uneasy.

She bit her lip lightly, her gaze slowly shifting to the side, landing on Fu Yanchen, who was leisurely reading a book.

Fu Yanchen seemed completely absorbed in the world of the book, oblivious to her gaze.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered her courage and asked softly, "Yan Chen, what do you think of Nan Weiwei and Nan Yifeng now? Have they made up? Or did Weiwei go back to my aunt's house?"

"Didn't you just call Nan Weiwei? What did she say?"

"Nan Yifeng answered the phone just now. He sounded very calm, neither particularly happy nor obviously angry. I really can't tell what's going on between them."

Her voice revealed a hint of anxiety and worry, as if she cared a lot about the relationship between Nan Weiwei and Nan Yifeng.

Upon hearing his wife's question, Fu Yanchen slowly put down the book in his hand, a doting smile appearing on his face.

Looking at his wife, who looked slightly tired from worrying too much, he couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness and tenderness.

He slowly shook his head, as if trying to shake away her troubles as well.

Then, he gently reached out and tenderly took the phone from her hand, as if it were a precious treasure.

He carefully placed the phone on the bedside table, deliberately positioning it far away from her, as if this would prevent her from being bothered by the messages on the phone.

After doing all that, he turned around to face his wife and said softly, "You silly girl, all you ever do is worry about this and that. Can't you worry about yourself first? Then worry about your husband a little, okay? Now, you're even worrying about Nan Weiwei and the others."

His tone carried a hint of doting and reproach, causing his wife to lower her head in grievance.

His speech didn't slow down because of the other person's silence; on the contrary, it became even faster, as if he wanted to say everything in one breath.

"Think about it. Nan Yi is Nan Weiwei's fiancé. Even if he is her fiancé, how could he just answer the phone for her without her permission? There must be some special reason behind this!"

“Nan Weiwei and Nan Yifeng had some unpleasantness recently! Nan Weiwei would let him answer the phone, but now? Nan Yifeng is actually taking the initiative to answer the phone for Nan Weiwei. What does this mean? It can only mean that they have made up! If they hadn't made up, why would Nan Weiwei let him answer the phone? Isn't that obvious?”

His analysis seemed to make sense, and his wife's brow gradually relaxed.

She looked up at her husband, and the worry in her eyes gradually gave way to relief.

Xu Xiaoxiao did not immediately agree with Fu Yanchen's words. She pouted, a hint of doubt in her eyes, and said, "Not necessarily. Maybe he controlled Weiwei's phone, and together... You control my phone too, don't you?"

She recalled Fu Yanchen's somewhat controlling behavior in the past, and couldn't help but feel a little resentful.

When Fu Yanchen heard Xu Xiaoxiao bring up the past, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his face.

He coughed lightly twice, his eyes darting around. He used to be a jerk. Back then, he loved Xu Xiaoxiao so much and was afraid of losing her, which is why he had such a strong desire to control her and did things that made her unhappy.

He shifted his body slightly, adjusting to a more comfortable sitting position, and then slowly turned his gaze to Xu Xiaoxiao, his eyes revealing a tenderness and concern.

She cleared her throat and coughed a few times, seemingly hesitant, but finally said, "Cough cough cough, well... I was wrong before, and I may have made you feel uncomfortable or wronged in some ways, but the situation is different now."

"How is it different?" Xu Xiaoxiao pressed for an answer.

"Ahem, well..." Fu Yanchen changed the subject.

"Xiaoxiao, look, it's almost midnight! Even if they really had a world war, it should have been over by now, right? After all, they only have a minor disagreement, not some deep-seated hatred, and it's unlikely to escalate to the point of killing someone. So, I think they should have finished arguing by now, don't you think?"

"After all, Yi Feng is still that naive and ignorant child. He has experienced many ups and downs in his life. He must have his own unique insights and ways of handling matters of the heart. Yi Feng has always been very opinionated since he was a child, so don't worry."

"You don't need to worry or fret too much, and don't add unnecessary troubles to your life. Trust that Yi Feng has the ability to handle all kinds of problems in the world of relationships, and all you need to do is keep a calm mind and respect his choices and decisions."

As he spoke, he reached out and gently put his arm around Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulder, trying to offer her some comfort.

Xu Xiaoxiao thought about it and agreed. Nan Yifeng and Nan Weiwei grew up together and understood each other, so there shouldn't be any major problems. Moreover, Nan Yifeng wasn't like Fu Yanchen, whose temper was unpredictable, so he probably wouldn't do anything to Nan Weiwei.

"Go to sleep," Fu Yanchen said.

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded gently, slowly lay down, and prepared to comfortably drift off to sleep. She was indeed sleepy, and this was the first time she had stayed up so late since becoming pregnant.

However, at that moment, a sudden, unexplained, sharp pain shot through her lower abdomen, as if an incredibly sharp knife had mercilessly pierced her body.

The sudden pain caught her off guard, and her heart tightened as if the whole world had frozen in an instant.

Her mind went completely blank for a moment, and all her thoughts came to a standstill.

Various terrifying thoughts surged into his mind like a raging tide.

Is the baby going to be born prematurely? Or is there some serious problem with my body that's affecting the health of the baby in my womb?

These thoughts kept swirling in her mind, making her feel panicked and helpless.

Xu Xiaoxiao's face turned deathly pale instantly, like a sheet of paper stripped of all its color, and her lips trembled slightly uncontrollably.

Fu Yanchen noticed it too, "Xiaoxiao... what's wrong?"

Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, her voice trembling with tears and panic as she called out to Fu Yanchen beside her, "Fu Yanchen... I... my stomach hurts a little... what if the baby doesn't like me and wants to leave me?"

Xu Xiaoxiao's voice was weak and trembling, as if it would shatter at any moment.

Upon hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's terrified cry, Fu Yanchen instantly recalled the doctor's serious advice: because of her previous severe injury, Xu Xiaoxiao needed to pay extra attention to her health in late pregnancy, and any discomfort should not be taken lightly.

His body trembled violently as if struck by lightning, as if every nerve in his body had been stimulated at the same time.

His eyes were wide open, filled with terror and astonishment, as if he had seen something extremely frightening.

Immediately afterwards, as if propelled by a powerful force, he quickly sat up in bed, so fast that he almost lost his balance and knocked the bedside lamp to the ground.

The lamp wobbled a few times, but eventually stabilized and didn't fall, though the bulb made a buzzing sound due to the violent shaking.

He was completely oblivious to all of this; his attention was entirely drawn to the darkness of the room. Fu Yanchen's heart pounded, and his breathing became rapid, as if something was lurking in the darkness, ready to attack him at any moment.

His hands frantically groped on the bedside table, trying to find the light switch.

Finally, he found the small button and pressed it without hesitation.

In an instant, soft light filled the entire room, dispelling the darkness.

However, the sudden light made him a little uncomfortable. He squinted and it took him a while to adjust.

He turned his head abruptly as if startled by something, his already pale face becoming even more ashen with anxiety.

His eyes were fixed on Xu Xiaoxiao, his brows were slightly furrowed, his face was full of worry, and his voice was obviously anxious, as if he was afraid that something bad had happened to Xu Xiaoxiao.

She spoke quickly, as if trying to express all her concern in one sentence: "Xiaoxiao, how are you now? Does your tummy still hurt? How could this happen? Don't think too much, the baby won't dislike you."

Fu Yanchen's eyes revealed a deep worry and tension, as if Xu Xiaoxiao's stomachache was his own.

Xu Xiaoxiao frowned deeply, her hands unconsciously covering her lower abdomen, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead, sliding down her cheeks.

Her head swayed slowly from side to side, like a flower swaying in the wind, appearing somewhat powerless and helpless.

Her voice was as soft as a feather, tinged with an indescribable uncertainty and fear.

“Now, I don’t know…” Her words echoed in the air, as if even she herself was confused about the situation.

The pain had come so suddenly that it caught her off guard, and now it had vanished like a ghost, leaving only unease and fear in her heart.

"It doesn't seem to hurt anymore now, it just hurt for a moment," her voice trembled slightly as she tried to calm herself down, but that trace of fear clung to her like a bone-deep wound, impossible to shake off. "But I'm scared... could there be something wrong with the baby, Fu Yanchen, I'm scared."

She spoke her last sentence almost pleadingly, as if Fu Yanchen was her only lifeline, the only one who could give her answers and comfort.

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and her body began to tremble slightly.

Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao's pained and frightened appearance, Fu Yanchen felt extremely distressed. He stood up abruptly, took three steps in two, went to the wardrobe, quickly grabbed a thick coat for her, and gently but quickly helped her put it on, while constantly comforting her.

"Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, nothing will happen. Come on, I'll take you to the hospital! We'll go right away and let the doctor give you a thorough check-up. Xiaoxiao, even if there's something wrong with the baby, don't be sad, understand?"

Fu Yanchen's voice was firm and powerful, which reassured Xu Xiaoxiao a lot.

Xu Xiaoxiao's face was pale and uneasy. She nodded gently, her hands unconsciously protecting her slightly protruding belly, as if this would give the baby in her womb an extra layer of protection.

Her steps were a little unsteady, and with Fu Yanchen's support, she slowly walked downstairs step by step.

She took each step with utmost care, afraid that she might accidentally harm the baby in her womb.

At that moment, the door to the room where Hou's mother lived creaked open.

Mrs. Hou has always been a light sleeper, and she would be awakened by the slightest noise downstairs.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, yawned, and walked out of the room. She immediately saw Fu Yanchen carefully helping Xu Xiaoxiao, and the two were about to leave.

Mrs. Hou was stunned. Her face was full of doubt and worry. She quickly stepped forward and asked, "Sir, Xiaoxiao, where are you going so late?" Her voice was heavy with sleepiness and a hint of anxiety.

Fu Yanchen frowned, his gaze fixed on Xu Xiaoxiao's lower abdomen, as if he could keep track of the baby's condition inside.

He gently patted Xu Xiaoxiao's back to comfort her, and said to Hou's mother, "Hou's mother, it's okay. Xiaoxiao is feeling a little unwell, and I'm worried about her, so I'm taking her to the hospital. You stay home and watch over Yuxuan. It's alright, go to sleep, don't worry too much."

Although he tried his best to keep his voice steady, he couldn't hide the tension and anxiety in it.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Hou became anxious. Her eyes widened, and the wrinkles on her face became even more pronounced due to her tension.

He kept rubbing his hands together, muttering, "This won't do. Xiaoxiao is pregnant now, and her health isn't good to begin with. We can't afford any mistakes. Yuxuan is fine; he's already asleep. I'll go to the hospital with you so we can at least take care of him."

As she spoke, she followed Fu Yanchen and Xu Xiaoxiao downstairs, intending to get in their car and go to the hospital.

Seeing this, Fu Yanchen quickly stopped Hou's mother and pleaded with her, "Hou's mother, please don't go. The hospital is crowded and chaotic, and it's so late now. You won't get any rest if you go. I'm here. I'll take good care of Xiaoxiao. Don't worry. I'll call you as soon as the test results are out to let you know she's safe."

As he spoke, he gently patted Mrs. Hou's shoulder, trying to reassure her.

After hesitating for a moment, looking at Fu Yanchen's determined eyes and then at Xu Xiaoxiao's somewhat pained expression, Mrs. Hou finally nodded and said, "Alright then, be careful on the road, and be sure to tell me immediately if anything happens."

After Fu Yanchen's repeated assurances, Hou's mother finally gave up and stood at the door, watching them get into the car and leave with a worried expression.

Fu Yanchen carefully helped Xu Xiaoxiao into the car, then quickly started the engine and sped towards the hospital.

Along the way, he kept checking on Xu Xiaoxiao through the rearview mirror, and kept comforting her: "Xiaoxiao, don't be afraid, we'll be at the hospital soon, and the doctor will definitely protect our baby well."

Upon arriving at the hospital, Fu Yanchen practically carried Xu Xiaoxiao into the emergency room.

He shouted, "Doctor, doctor, please take a look at my wife, she has an upset stomach."

They carefully placed Xu Xiaoxiao on the examination bed. The nurses quickly gathered around and began arranging various examinations.

After completing a series of examinations, the doctor held the report, looked at it carefully again and again, and a relieved expression appeared on his face.

He looked at Xu Xiaoxiao and Fu Yanchen and said with a smile, "It's nothing serious, it's just Braxton Hicks contractions. Many pregnant women experience this in late pregnancy, so relax. Just make sure to get plenty of rest, avoid overexertion, and keep a good mood."

Hearing the doctor's words, Fu Yanchen and Xu Xiaoxiao finally relaxed.
