Chapter 1405 Going Back Tomorrow
Chapter 1405 Going Back Tomorrow
"When to go back?"
There was a hint of reluctance and expectation in Fu Yanchen's voice. He hugged Xu Xiaoxiao tightly, as if hoping that she could give him an answer that would satisfy him.
Xu Xiaoxiao was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "I'm almost well now, how about tomorrow? I want to go back early to check on my coffee shop. After all, I haven't taken care of it for so long, and I don't know how it is now."
After hearing her words, Fu Yanchen lowered his head slightly and let his chin gently touch her hair, as if feeling the soft touch.
Fu Yanchen spoke, his voice seemed to come from the abyss, low and gentle, with a barely perceptible hint of pleading.
"Xiaoxiao, do you have to go back? I really don't want you to leave me."
His words revealed a deep attachment and reluctance. She was the most important person in his life. How could he bear to let her go? But... he didn't want to hurt her.
Fu Yanchen's tone was somewhat helpless. He felt powerless about Xu Xiaoxiao's decision, but he didn't want to use force to keep her. He knew that if he did that, it would only make Xu Xiaoxiao more determined to leave.
"Xiaoxiao, actually, this coffee shop can continue to operate normally even without you. I can find other suitable people to take over your current job. After all, the Fu Group is also involved in the catering industry. We also have many capable people who can help you manage this coffee shop. Xiaoxiao, how about this? Don't leave, stay with me, okay?"
Fu Yanchen's words were full of attachment and reluctance to her, which moved people.
Xu Xiaoxiao struggled to break free from his arms, as if it was a suffocating cage.
Her eyes fell on his face, revealing an unprecedented seriousness in her eyes.
"Okay, Fu Yanchen, I've already said it," her voice was soft but firm, "I'm serious now, I'm definitely not fooling you, so don't worry about gains and losses every day."
"Xiaoxiao..." Fu Yanchen looked aggrieved.
Xu Xiaoxiao, why does she feel that Fu Yanchen now is like a child, very childish.
"Fu Yanchen, you look so haggard. I've been sleeping for so long. Mother Hou said you've been here taking care of me. You haven't left for a moment. I think you've been wearing the same clothes, right?"
Fu Yanchen,,,
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Look at you. You couldn't stand not taking a shower for a day before. Your mysophobia was so severe. Now, you can actually endure not taking a shower for such a long time. It's really not easy."
Xu Xiaoxiao felt a little disgusted when she recalled Fu Yanchen in the past. At that time, she thought Fu Yanchen was sick and would take a shower as soon as he got home. She was not so diligent, so Fu Yanchen would always twist her and throw her into the bathroom.
"Go take a shower. Mother Hou has prepared dinner for you. You must be very tired after watching me these past two days. Take a good rest after dinner."
Fu Yanchen looked at her, with a hint of helplessness and doting in his eyes.
He knew that Xu Xiaoxiao was a woman with strong opinions and that the decisions she made were difficult to change.
But he also understood that as long as they loved each other, distance was not a problem.
He nodded gently: "Okay,"
Fu Yanchen listened to Xu Xiaoxiao's words, went to the bathroom and took a comfortable bath, which greatly relaxed his body and mind.
When he came out, he exuded a faint scent of shower gel, and he looked even more refreshed and handsome.
At dinner time, Xu Xiaoxiao acted like a little housekeeper, supervising Fu Yanchen to have a very filling dinner.
She kept picking food for him and urging him to eat more, as if she wanted to make up for all the weight he had lost in the past two days from taking care of herself.
Fu Yanchen looked at Xu Xiaoxiao's concerned eyes and felt a warm feeling in his heart. He ate obediently, enjoying this rare warmth and sweetness.
After dinner, Xu Xiaoxiao insisted on sending Fu Yanchen to the bedroom to rest.
She knew that he had been busy taking care of himself these past two days and had hardly had a good rest.
She hoped that he could take this opportunity to have a good sleep and rest.
Fu Yanchen lay on the bed, watching Xu Xiaoxiao tidy up his bedding, his heart filled with gratitude and reluctance.
He held her hand and whispered, "Xiaoxiao, you can't sneak away while I'm not awake."
Xu Xiaoxiao's heart softened when she heard this. She nodded gently and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't. You have a good rest, I'll wait for you to wake up."
After saying that, she gently covered Fu Yanchen with a quilt, then sat beside the bed, watching over him quietly.
Her eyes were as gentle as water, as if she wanted to pour all her affection on him.
Fu Yanchen looked at her, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.
He gradually closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Later, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep on the edge of the bed.
When Fu Yanchen woke up, he saw her like this, shook his head helplessly, raised a doting smile at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "This child."
He got up quietly, picked up Xu Xiaoxiao, gently put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.
Then he lay back on the bed, hugging her tightly, as if he wanted to merge her into his body and fall asleep together.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the room through the curtains, Xu Xiaoxiao woke up slowly.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes and found that Fu Yanchen was no longer around. She picked up her phone and saw the message Fu Yanchen sent her: "I'm going to the company, you have a good rest, call me if you have anything."
A warm feeling surged in Xu Xiaoxiao's heart. She knew that although Fu Yanchen was busy with work, he always cared about her.
She simply replied to a message, then got up, washed and prepared to go find Xiaomei and Sister Na.
She knew that Xiaomei and Sister Na had come to see her several times during her illness. They were worried about her condition and were grateful for Fu Yanchen's care.
Now that she has recovered, it is impossible for her to turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to them.
After all, they were unfamiliar with the place and had no one to rely on in this prosperous imperial capital.
As a friend, she has the responsibility to take good care of them and make them feel a little warmth and care in this strange city.
Xu Xiaoxiao packed up everything quickly and without any delay, headed straight to the hotel where Xiaomei and Sister Na were staying.
When she pushed open the door, she saw Xiaomei and Sister Na sitting on the sofa chatting with smiles on their faces.
"Xiaoxiao, you're finally here!" Xiaomei shouted excitedly, and Sister Na also smiled and nodded to her.
Xu Xiaoxiao walked over, sat next to them, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry for making you worry. I came to see you as soon as I recovered from my illness."
"It's okay. Who would have thought that you would have trouble acclimatizing? You grew up in the imperial capital."
Sister Na said with a teasing smile, but her eyes were full of concern.
Xu Xiaoxiao laughed dryly twice and scratched her head embarrassedly. Yes, she couldn't understand why she was having trouble adapting to the local climate.
At this time, Tiantian suddenly spoke up. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Xu Xiaoxiao expectantly: "Auntie, I want to go out and play. My mother is not familiar with the road and won't take me out."
Hearing this, Sister Na patted Tiantian's head gently and said apologetically, "Tiantian, you kid, Auntie just recovered from her illness, don't bother her."
When Tiantian heard this, the expectation on her little face instantly turned into disappointment. She lowered her head and said "oh" softly.
Xu Xiaoxiao's heart softened when she saw Tiantian's pitiful appearance.
She had originally planned to ask them to go back to Lin City together today, but now looking at Tiantian's disappointed eyes, she changed her mind.
"Okay, auntie will take you out to play tomorrow."
Xu Xiaoxiao said with a smile, her tone full of tenderness and doting.
When Tiantian heard this, her eyes lit up immediately. She hugged Xu Xiaoxiao excitedly and cheered, "That's great! Thank you, Auntie!"
Sister Na said, "Xiaoxiao, you're not feeling well!" She knew that Xu Xiaoxiao was a kind girl who always thought of others, but she couldn't bear it.
Xu Xiaoxiao shook her head, her face full of confidence and vitality, "It's okay, I've recovered, and now I'm as strong as a bull."
As she spoke, she also made a gesture to show her strength, which made Sister Na and Xiaomei laugh.
After the laughter, Xu Xiaoxiao asked Xiaomei's grandmother with concern: "Xiaomei, how is your grandma?" Her eyes were full of sincere concern.
Xiaomei smiled and replied: "He is awake now, and the doctor said his condition has stabilized a lot."
There was a hint of relief in her tone, and it was obvious that her grandmother's improvement made her in a good mood.
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao also showed a relieved smile, "That's good, that's good."
She paused, then continued, "Then... let's go out and play together tomorrow, is that okay?"
Xiao Mei suddenly said hesitantly, "Well, grandma may not be able to do it. You guys go and have fun. Don't worry about me. I'll just take grandma for a walk."
Xu Xiaoxiao frowned immediately after hearing this. She looked at Xiaomei with concern and persistence in her eyes: "Xiaomei, although grandma is in poor health, it is precisely because of this that we should let her feel the beauty and happiness of life. Let's go out and play together tomorrow, and I can also help you take care of grandma. Wouldn't you feel more at ease this way?"
Sister Na also agreed and said, "Yes, Xiaomei, let's go out and play together. Xiaoxiao is right, let grandma experience the scenery of the imperial capital, maybe it will be good for her condition."
Xiaomei sighed softly, her eyes full of worry: "I know you mean well, but... you know my grandma's condition, she gets sick from time to time. It would be bad if she suddenly gets sick when we go out to play tomorrow. I don't want to spoil your fun because of grandma."
Upon hearing this, Sister Na and Xu Xiaoxiao looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
They understood Xiaomei's concerns and also knew that her grandmother's condition was indeed not suitable for going out for fun.
So they nodded and agreed to Xiaomei's decision.
In the evening, Xiaomei returned to her grandmother's resting room.
This room was arranged by Fu Yanchen. It is luxurious and comfortable, with all kinds of facilities.
However, Xiaomei had no interest in appreciating these things. She sat on the sofa, scrolling through her WeChat Moments out of boredom.
Her eyes stayed on Lu Feng's WeChat, and a complex emotion surged in her heart as she looked at Lu Feng's WeChat avatar and the updates in his circle of friends.
She hesitated for a long time, and finally clicked on Lu Feng's chat window.
Her finger slid lightly across the screen and she typed a few words: "How are you doing lately?"
After typing these words, she hesitated again.
She didn't know whether she should send this message, and didn't know whether Lu Feng would reply to her.
Finally, Xiaomei pressed the send button.
She waited quietly for Lu Feng's reply, feeling both expectant and anxious.
Lu Feng quickly replied: "Very good, what's up?"
His tone was concise and direct, causing Xiaomei's heart to tremble slightly.
Xiaomei stood in front of the window, looking at the bustling streets of the imperial capital outside the window, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. The big city has always been her dream, and she... really envied Xu Xiaoxiao and the others.
She clearly remembered that when she was taking care of Lu Feng in Lin City, Lu Feng once told her that if she came to the imperial capital in the future and did not despise him, he could be her guide and take her around.
After hesitating for a while, Xiaomei took a deep breath and finally decided to send a message to Lu Feng.
She typed on her phone: "Um, Brother Lu, I'm unfamiliar with the capital and want to take grandma out for a walk. Do you... have time?"
After sending this message, Xiaomei waited nervously for Lu Feng's reply.
After a while, the phone screen lit up. Xiaomei quickly opened it and saw a reply from Lu Feng: "Of course I have time. When do you want to go?"
Seeing Lu Feng's reply, Xiao Mei was delighted and continued to reply: "I want to take grandma out tomorrow. I wonder where in the capital can I find authentic food? I want to take grandma to try it and go shopping. Weiwei just got engaged, so she definitely doesn't have time. Xiaoxiao just got well from being sick, so it's not good to trouble her. Besides, Mr. Fu probably won't let her go out and run around, so... I thought of you."
After sending the message, Xiaomei was a little worried that Lu Feng would refuse. After all, he might have his own things to do.
However, not long after, Lu Feng's message came: "No problem, I know a few very good restaurants that will ensure that you and grandma can enjoy authentic food. I will pick you up tomorrow, and then we will go shopping together."
Seeing Lu Feng agree so readily, Xiao Mei finally felt relieved. She quickly replied, "Okay, thank you for your help!"
"You're welcome. I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of your hotel at 10 a.m. tomorrow."
When Xiaomei saw Lu Feng’s reply, a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She looked at the phone screen with gratitude, as if she could see Lu Feng's warm smile.
So, Xiaomei immediately prepared clothes and supplies for her grandmother for tomorrow's trip and looked forward to the arrival of tomorrow.
Lu Feng put down the phone and looked at the two men opposite him, "Nan Yifeng, are you busy?"
Nan Yi Feng???
"Fu Yanchen, your... your Xiaoxiao is seriously ill?"
Fu Yanchen???
