Chapter 1023 Then I'll Go Down

Xingxing wasn't about to let Huo Nanxiao off the hook so easily, and continued to mock him: "I know Daddy has been very busy lately. There are a lot of things waiting for you to handle at the company, a white moonlight waiting for you to comfort at the hospital, and there's also a mistress and an illegitimate child outside, making you dizzy and extremely busy."

You don't need to waste your time trying to please us. It doesn't matter whether we see you or not; we don't really want to see Daddy anyway. Go play by yourself.

Chu Chu nodded: "That's right, go play by yourself, we don't want to play with you."

Huo Yuan waved his hand at Huo Nanxiao, looking earnest and innocent: "Daddy, go take a shower. You smell really bad, we don't like it."

Huo Nanxiao was speechless. He sighed helplessly and turned to leave.

The light in Xia Ningxi's study stayed on until late at night without being turned off. The kitchen even prepared a nourishing porridge for her to help her recover, but Xia Ningxi didn't drink it. Instead, she stared at the data on the computer for a long time.

"Don't you like it?" Huo Nanxiao pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down. He glanced at the food on the table, but Xia Ningxi didn't touch it.

Xia Ningxi said, "I'm busy."

"Eat your fill before you start working," Huo Nanxiao said.

Xia Ningxi: "I have to go back to the lab tomorrow."

"I'll take you," Huo Nanxiao agreed.

Xia Ningxi looked up: "Don't you have work? Why are you taking me home? I know how to get back myself."

“I’m going to Lingcheng tomorrow too,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Ningxi chuckled: "You're so busy with your own affairs, how do you have the leisure to come back with me? You should spend your time with Xia Wanwan instead. She's at her weakest right now and needs your company."

“I’m divorced from her,” Huo Nanxiao said.

Xia Ningxi: "And then?"

“I don’t need to accompany her,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Ningxi: "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me. However, I don't need you to accompany me. Li Yancheng will pick me up tomorrow."

"Why did he pick you up?" Huo Nanxiao's eyes instantly turned cold.

Xia Ningxi said, "He collaborates with Ling Xiao, so I'll take him to see the lab while I'm at it."

"Did Tang En also cooperate with Li Yancheng? I heard that the Ling family is the only one in the country that has signed a contract with Tang En," Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi said, "I'm not sure, but Tang En promised to come, so I have no reason to refuse. As for you, just focus on your own things and don't waste your time on me. I can take good care of myself."

Her refusal was already very clear.

Huo Nanxiao sat quietly opposite her without saying a word, his handsome face cold and intimidating.

Xia Ningxi felt extremely uncomfortable under that gaze. She asked, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"I'll go with you." Huo Nanxiao's attitude was very firm.

Xia Ningxi said, "Don't you have work? Besides, I'm traveling with Li Yancheng, what are you doing following me? I'm on his private jet, aren't you afraid he'll kill you?"

“He wouldn’t dare,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Early the next morning.

Huo Nanxiao boarded Li Yancheng's plane.

When Li Yancheng saw him, his eyes widened, his lips twitched violently, and his gaze immediately fell on Xia Ningxi behind him. "Why did you bring a burden with you?"

"Not welcome?" Huo Nanxiao asked sharply.

Li Yancheng said, "Of course you're not welcome. Get out of here right now."

Huo Nanxiao didn't even glance at him, and sat down directly opposite Li Yancheng.

Li Yancheng's aura turned cold. He glanced at the bodyguards, and several bodyguards immediately rushed forward.

Huo Nanxiao remained calm, not even lifting his eyelids, and poured himself a glass of red wine.

Despite the group of bodyguards surrounding Huo Nanxiao, none of them dared to actually make a move; they just wanted to scare him. However, Huo Nanxiao was not a coward, and in the end, even the bodyguards felt ashamed and awkwardly looked at Li Yancheng.

"You can all go now," Li Yancheng snapped impatiently.

The bodyguards all retreated, but they still kept a watchful eye on Huo Nanxiao, fearing that he might do something bad.

Huo Nanxiao, however, remained calmer than anyone else; those who didn't know better would have thought it was his private jet.

Suppressing his anger, Li Yancheng asked, "Are you going to Lingcheng too?"

"Hmm," Huo Nanxiao responded indifferently.

Li Yancheng said, "You don't have the money to arrange a private jet? Is the Huo family already on the verge of bankruptcy?"

“Free is more cost-effective,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Li Yancheng: "I didn't invite you. You'd better go down by yourself, or I'll make you slap me."

"If you really had the guts, you wouldn't have wasted so much time talking." Huo Nanxiao didn't care at all.

Li Yancheng's lips twitched violently. He slammed his hand on the table, spilling the red wine that Huo Nanxiao had just poured all over the table.

The flight attendants immediately came forward to wipe the table.

"What are you wiping for? Let him wipe it himself!" Li Yancheng scolded.

The flight attendants immediately shut up, looked at each other in bewilderment, and could only obediently take two steps back.

Huo Nanxiao looked at Li Yancheng as if he were an idiot, showing no intention of taking any action against him.

"What? You took advantage of us and can't even clean up the table? Is this how the Huo family raises their children?" Li Yancheng asked.

Huo Nanxiao didn't even glance at him, leaned back in his chair, and said, "Whoever spilled the wine, should clean it up."

Li Yancheng turned to Xia Ningxi and complained, "Look at what he's doing! He was wronged by Xia Wanwan, so he's coming to bother me. You're divorced, why is he still bothering you? Could it be that he wants to use you to help Xia Wanwan get treatment?"

“That’s possible,” Xia Ningxi said.

Li Yancheng: "You can't keep this kind of man. Just cut off all contact with him."

"That works too." Xia Ningxi nodded and agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Huo Nanxiao, however, remained calm and reminded her, "The Li family doesn't have a deep foundation in China. His good days won't last long. Don't be fooled by his seemingly glamorous appearance; he doesn't actually have much money in his pocket. A large amount of his funds were frozen recently."

"You still have the nerve to mention the mess you've made?" Li Yancheng gritted his teeth.

Huo Nanxiao said, "If you're not as skilled as others, you can't even accept criticism? You should look for the reasons within yourself."

Li Yancheng: "Believe it or not, I'll shoot you dead."

"Sure." Huo Nanxiao shrugged nonchalantly, his confident demeanor making Xia Ningxi click her tongue in amazement.

Too lazy to watch the two argue, she found a seat as far away from them as possible, quietly put her things down, and ordered a juice.

"Why did you run so far? Come sit here." Huo Nanxiao called out to Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi smiled slightly: "You can argue all you want, you don't need to involve me."

Li Yancheng: "You brought such a troublesome person up here for me to deal with?"

"Shall I go down?" Xia Ningxi got up and left.
