Chapter 1015 The Mistress is Looking for You

Xia Ningxi understood Huo Jinchuan's implied meaning, but said nothing, only smiled calmly.

"You seem quite indifferent?" Huo Jinchuan asked.

Xia Ningxi said, "Whether Xia Luoluo has children or not has nothing to do with me, so why should I care?"

“It may seem like it has nothing to do with you, but this child is Huo Nanxiao’s after all, and it will more or less affect your family. If I were you, I probably wouldn’t want this child to be born,” Huo Jinchuan said.

Xia Ningxi: "You are not me, and your opinion does not represent my thoughts. I have already divorced Huo Nanxiao. What the Huo family has given me is enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life. Even if Xia Luoluo has ten or eight more children, it will not threaten me."

"Can you really just ignore everything and do nothing?" Huo Jinchuan retorted.

Xia Ningxi said, "I'm not that free. Even if I were, I wouldn't waste my time on Xia Luoluo. But I know you can't sit still."

Huo Jinchuan, having his thoughts exposed, smiled helplessly: "You're smart, but you're too smart."

“I told you a long time ago that I wouldn’t get involved in your struggle with Huo Nanxiao, but you don’t seem to have taken my words to heart. Actually, you can do whatever you want without worry, I won’t interfere, but I also hope you won’t use me as a pawn.” Xia Ningxi said what was on her mind.

Huo Jinchuan took a sip of freshly squeezed iced juice and shook his head: "I was thinking of helping you get rid of Xia Luoluo, but it seems I was overthinking it. You don't need my explanation at all."

"You're afraid that the birth of your child will threaten your position, right? After all, I've already taken the three children with me, and Xia Luoluo clearly came prepared. Huo Xiuyuan obviously cares more about his grandchildren and doesn't care about you. You're afraid that everything in the Huo family will fall into Xia Luoluo's hands," Xia Ningxi boldly guessed.

Huo Jinchuan scoffed: "I've never taken Xia Luoluo seriously. However, she has someone backing her. She can't possibly outmaneuver Huo Nanxiao on her own; she has someone helping her from behind."

"Then it can only be the Han family. You have close ties with the Han family, don't you know that this was all planned by them? If you help them, you might be able to get a piece of the pie from Huo Nanxiao," Xia Ningxi said lazily.

Huo Jinchuan was amused by this and said, "Huo Nanxiao is still your ex-husband, but why don't you care about him at all? Have you completely given up on him? If that's the case, why don't you divorce Ling Xiao and we get together?"

"How much are your assets? Can they compare to Ling Xiao's?" Xia Ningxi retorted.

Huo Jinchuan was speechless. He was rich, but it was just the hard-earned money he had made from doing business over the years. As the eldest son of the Ling family, Ling Xiao controlled most of the resources and money. Huo Jinchuan couldn't compare to him.

He remained silent.

And this silence is the answer.

Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "See? You know yourself that you're no match for Ling Xiao. Where did you get the courage to advise me to divorce my husband and be with you?"

“You have no feelings for him, divorce is inevitable,” Huo Jinchuan said.

Xia Ningxi shrugged indifferently: "So what? Even if I really get divorced one day, I can't just be with you casually."

"Alright, it seems you have absolutely no interest in me." Huo Jinchuan sighed helplessly.

Xia Ningxi: "Didn't you already know that?"

Huo Jinchuan smiled and stopped talking. He understood Xia Ningxi's attitude and knew that she wanted to stand aside and watch the show this time, and did not want to get involved.

However, if Xia Ningxi just watches the show, Huo Jinchuan will have no chance to intervene.

Given the current situation, with Xia Wanwan dead, Huo Nanxiao is very likely to return to his family and remarry Xia Ningxi. Her three children are also deeply loved by Huo Xiuyuan, so the future of the Huo family may very well fall into the hands of these children.

The children were having a great time at the horse farm. Xia Ningxi watched from afar as the children were protected by several coaches, her eyes filled with tenderness.

She said, "Actually, you and Huo Nanxiao don't have to be enemies. The Huo family has many businesses, and you can do quite a few business ventures. There's no need to fight Huo Nanxiao to the death."

"You mean you want me to submit to him?" Huo Jinchuan retorted.

Xia Ningxi said, "We're all family, so why the 'ruler and subject' dynamic? Your businesses don't really conflict, and Huo Nanxiao hasn't tried to take a single project from you all these years, which is enough to prove that he doesn't want to break ties with you. Isn't the current situation of the Xia family a lesson from the past? If you two brothers keep fighting, it will only benefit others."

"I'm not as stupid as Xia Luoluo," Huo Jinchuan said dismissively.

Xia Ningxi said, "How can you be so sure that Xia Luoluo is the stupid one? As long as she is carrying Huo Nanxiao's child, she will not lose."

“That’s true. The Huo family wouldn’t abandon their child. Xia Luoluo can sue the Huo family for child support, and the amount will definitely be substantial.” Huo Jinchuan smiled bitterly. Thinking about it carefully, Xia Luoluo was indeed quite lucky.

After the children had finished playing, Xia Ningxi picked them up and took them home.

Huo Jinchuan offered, "I'll give you a ride."

"No need, I drove here."

“That’s perfect, you can take me home,” Huo Jinchuan said.

Xia Ningxi raised an eyebrow: "Can't you go back by yourself?"

“We’re going back to the same place anyway. I’m going back to the old house for dinner tonight, so it won’t cost much in gas if you give me a ride on your way,” Huo Jinchuan said.

"You're dreaming," Xia Ningxi rejected his suggestion.

She said goodbye to Huo Jinchuan with her three children.

Huo Yuan didn't understand: "Mommy, why can't we go back with Uncle?"

"It's best to keep your distance at this juncture. He and your father don't get along, and we shouldn't cause trouble for him at this critical time, or we might get ourselves into trouble," Xia Ningxi replied.

Huo Yuan, however, was completely confused.

Xingxing said, "Brother, don't overthink it. Just listen to Mommy."

"Okay." Huo Yuan nodded heavily.

Xia Ningxi drove them back to the Huo family's old residence. They arrived home at almost the same time as Huo Nanxiao, though he arrived a little faster.

Perhaps he had seen Xia Ningxi's car, because Huo Nanxiao did not enter the old house for a long time, but waited for her at the door. However, when he saw Huo Jinchuan following closely behind, his expression became more serious.

He walked towards Xia Ningxi, picked up young Chu Chu, and asked, "Where did you go today?"

"I went to Uncle's horse farm. Uncle's horse farm is so big. Uncle is so rich, richer than you." Chu Chu said with envy.

Huo Nanxiao's gaze swept past Xia Ningxi and landed on Huo Jinchuan: "Thank you."

"We're all family, brother, there's no need to be so polite." Huo Jinchuan said with a smile.

Huo Nanxiao asked, "What brings you back today?"

"I heard the Xia family went bankrupt, and Xia Luoluo has been asking around for her older brother's whereabouts. I came back specifically to tell you." Huo Jinchuan smiled smugly, his tone even carrying a hint of schadenfreude.
