Chapter 1522 Pay attention next time
After eating and drinking her fill, Nan leaned back in her chair comfortably, gently touching her slightly bulging belly, her expression of satisfaction like a kitten that had stolen honey.
She raised the corners of her mouth, and said with a lazy and happy smile: "I'm so full, Xiaoxiao, Hou's mother's cooking skills are really good, just like a chef."
"That's right. It was Mama Hou who fattened me up during the time I lost my memory."
When Nan Weiwei heard this, her body suddenly stiffened and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
She was originally concentrating on talking to the other person, but the change of topic caught her off guard.
However, Nan Weiwei quickly regained her composure. She smiled slightly, cleverly changed the subject, and said, "Okay, I've already eaten, and I feel much better after chatting with you and speaking my mind. It's getting late, so I'll go back first. You should also take a nap. You'll be more energetic after a good rest. Otherwise, Fu Yanchen will come to settle the score with me again."
After saying that, Nan Weiwei stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the door. When she reached the door, she stopped, turned around and said to Xu Xiaoxiao: "I will come to see you another day, remember to take good care of yourself!"
His voice was full of relief, as if he had just unloaded a heavy burden.
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded, stood up, put on her coat, and prepared to see Nan Weiwei to the door.
As she walked, she said seriously, "Weiwei, you can handle Auntie's affairs. It's best to take it easy. Women easily fall in love. Do you understand?"
"I understand. I'm just afraid that she'll fall in headfirst and be unable to get out, and even be sold without even knowing it."
"Well, I'm afraid of that, too. But...if that Chen Donghai is sincere to her and they're a good match, then forget it. After all, relationships aren't perfect. Sometimes they require a bit of fate and tolerance. If I really find out that Chen Donghai is not sincere in his dealings with my aunt, I need evidence and talk to her properly to avoid making a mess."
At this point, a hint of helplessness flashed in Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes, "I...my aunt and I are not close, so I won't get involved. I don't want things to become more complicated because of my involvement." Her voice was low, with a hint of loss.
Nan Weiwei stopped, turned around, and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao seriously, his eyes full of understanding and determination.
She patted Xu Xiaoxiao's shoulder gently and said, "I understand, just like my grandma and I don't get along. Everyone has their own way of getting along and their own boundaries. We just need to respect them."
She looked up and out the window. Snowflakes were falling from the sky, like a group of white elves dancing in the air.
Nan frowned slightly and said with concern, "Don't worry, I know my limits. You can go back now. Don't send me off. It's snowing outside and it's cold. You can't catch a cold right now. You must take good care of yourself and the baby."
Xu Xiaoxiao stood at the door, watching Nan Weiwei's figure gradually enveloped by snowflakes, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She waved and said loudly, "Weiwei, be careful on your way. Send me a message when you arrive."
Nan Weiwei walked away, turned around and smiled, "I know, go back and rest."
The smile looks particularly warm and bright against the backdrop of snowflakes.
The snowflakes were still falling, making a rustling sound when hitting the windows.
Xu Xiaoxiao stood at the door for a long time without leaving, until Nan Weiwei's figure disappeared in the vast snow.
The concern and friendship between sisters are like the white snowflakes, pure and deep, and will always be with them.
Xu Xiaoxiao gently closed the door that was being tapped by snowflakes, and slowly returned to the house wrapped in the cool air of snow.
The warmth inside the house formed a sharp contrast with the ice and snow outside.
Mother Hou had already started to clean up the remaining food on the table with nimble hands. The plates and bowls seemed to come alive in her hands and were arranged in an orderly manner.
Seeing Xu Xiaoxiao come in, Hou's mother stopped what she was doing, looked up, her eyes full of worry and concern, and began to nag non-stop: "Xiaoxiao, look at you, you're like a cat, eating so little. Every time you eat, it's like you're counting grains of rice. This is not okay."
As she spoke, she shook her head gently, looking like an old mother who was worried about her children.
Mother Hou put aside the plate she had just cleared, walked over to Xu Xiaoxiao, took her hand, looked her up and down, and said, "It would be great if you could eat half as much as Weiwei. Look at Weiwei, her little face is so rosy and she looks so healthy. And look at you, you're so thin even with the baby. I feel like the wind could blow you away. It makes me sad just looking at you."
Xu Xiaoxiao smiled, "Mother Hou, if Chang Weiwei heard this, she would probably hate you for days."
Mother Hou sighed and gently stroked the back of Xu Xiaoxiao's hand with her fingers. The rough yet warm touch touched Xu Xiaoxiao's heart.
"You're not alone now. You have our little baby in your belly. If you don't eat well, how can the baby be nourished? During this pregnancy, you must take good care of your body so that you will have the strength to give birth to the baby later."
As Mother Hou spoke, she pulled Xu Xiaoxiao towards the dining table. "Come, Xiaoxiao, eat some more. I saw you eating that little bit just now, you must not be full. I'll get you some more soup. I've been simmering this soup for several hours. It has a lot of nourishing ingredients in it. It's good for you and the baby."
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Hou's mother, who was busy and concerned, and felt warm in her heart. She smiled and said, "Hou's mother, I'm full. I really don't need to eat anymore. Don't worry too much about me. I will take good care of myself."
Mother Hou acted as if she hadn't heard anything. As she walked towards the kitchen, she said, "You just don't know how to take care of yourself. Listen to me and eat more. When the baby is born, if you want to lose weight, I'll prepare some slimming soup for you."
Xu Xiaoxiao,,,,
After a while, Mother Hou came over with a bowl of steaming hot soup, placed it in front of Xu Xiaoxiao, and said, "Come, drink it while it's hot. After drinking this bowl of soup, your body will be warm, and the baby will feel comfortable inside too."
Xu Xiaoxiao looked at the bowl of soup, tears of emotion flashing in her eyes. She gently picked up the bowl, took a sip, and the warm taste instantly spread throughout her body.
"Mother Hou, I'm going to take a nap."
Xu Xiaoxiao stretched gently, her lazy look like a cat that had just woken up from the morning light. Then, a slightly tired yawn escaped from her mouth.
"Go." Mother Hou stood aside with a gentle smile on her face and nodded gently. Her eyes were full of love and care, as if silently saying: Have a good sleep and get enough rest.
Xu Xiaoxiao turned around and walked upstairs with light steps but a bit of sleepiness.
She has long been accustomed to taking naps upstairs. This small room is like her own private safe haven, allowing her to find a quiet habitat in the noisy world.
She walked to the bed in a daze and slowly lay down. The soft quilt wrapped her up like a cloud.
Her consciousness seemed to become blurred, and everything around her gradually moved away from her.
She only felt that her body was suddenly enveloped by a powerful force, which was both gentle and firm, making her unable to resist.
A blurry figure gradually appeared in front of her eyes. The figure slowly approached her and then gently embraced her in his arms.
This embrace gave her an unprecedented feeling, like the warm sun in winter, warm and comfortable, making her feel extremely safe.
Her body relaxed involuntarily, as if all her fatigue and anxiety disappeared at this moment.
She quietly felt the warmth brought by this embrace. The temperature was transmitted to her skin through the clothes, making every cell in her body immersed in happiness.
She thought to herself that it was still early and Fu Yan probably hadn't returned home yet. In that case, could this scene be just an illusion?
Thinking of this, she no longer had any worries and began to rub against it wantonly like a naughty kitten.
She twisted her body gently, as if looking for the most comfortable posture so that she could fall asleep peacefully in this sweet dream.
However, dreams are always so easily broken.
Suddenly, a warm and gentle hand, as light as a feather, landed on her slightly bulging belly. Although the touch was extremely slight, it was like a flash of lightning across the night sky, instantly stirring her already extremely sensitive nerves.
The touch of that hand was so delicate that it seemed as if she could feel the faint beating of life in her belly. This wonderful feeling made her hold her breath and her body tremble slightly.
At that moment, her body trembled violently as if struck by an invisible force, and the drowsiness that had originally felt like falling into the clouds disappeared in an instant.
Her eyes suddenly opened, as if awakened by a flash of lightning, and her originally chaotic consciousness became extremely clear in an instant.
She slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view were Fu Yanchen's deep eyes and handsome face.
Those eyes were like stars in the night sky, sparkling with gentle and charming light, as if hiding endless love.
At this moment, he was looking at her quietly, his eyes full of doting and concern.
"Fu...Fu Yanchen, when did you come back?"
Xu Xiaoxiao was a little surprised, and her voice contained a hint of laziness and coquettishness as if she had just woken up.
Fu Yanchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and said softly: "I just came back, and seeing that you were sleeping soundly, I didn't want to wake you up. I didn't expect that you used me as a pillow."
His fingers gently caressed her lower abdomen, as if feeling the beating of the little life inside.
Xu Xiaoxiao,,, so embarrassing,,,
Just looking at him, I felt a surge of happiness in my heart.
Xu Xiaoxiao propped herself up slightly, half leaning against the soft pillow, her hair a little messy and scattered beside her cheeks. With a look of confusion and curiosity in her eyes, she asked softly, "But, why are you back so early today? Not today, but recently, you've been out this early. Is this okay? It's the end of the year, shouldn't the company be very busy?"
She tilted her head slightly, and the image of Fu Yanchen busy at the end of the year emerged in her mind. At that time, he always went out early and came back late, and sometimes he would not be seen for several days.
Fu Yanchen's face, which was originally smiling, froze slightly because of her slightly questioning words, and his brows instantly frowned, as if he was gently pricked by something soft yet sharp.
He reached out and gently pushed the hair beside Xu Xiaoxiao's cheek behind her ear, his movements so gentle as if he was treating a rare treasure.
"Why, from what Xiaoxiao said, you don't want to see me?"
There was a subtle hint of grievance in his voice, like a misunderstood child.
He slowly bent down and leaned forward, meeting Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes.
There was a deep sincerity in his eyes that seemed to penetrate her soul.
"I really can't control my thoughts," he said softly, a hint of helplessness in his voice. "When I'm at the company, your image keeps popping up in my mind. Whether it's you sleeping peacefully in bed, or you busy preparing a meal for me in the kitchen, these images keep flashing before my eyes, making it impossible for me to concentrate on my work."
He paused, as if organizing his thoughts, and then continued, "So, I decided to come back, back to you. Because only in this way can I truly calm down and no longer be troubled by those thoughts about you."
