Chapter 1039 You Two Remarry

Well, every single thing they said hit Xia Wanwan's sore spots.

It's a fact that Xia Wanwan is getting old and her looks are fading, and it's also a fact that she's not as young and beautiful as Xia Luoluo. Most importantly, she can no longer have children.

Even if she marries Huo Nanxiao, she cannot allow a child that belongs to the two of them, not even through IVF.

These facts were enough to make Xia Wanwan feel ashamed. She lowered her head and didn't say anything, just kept eating the rice in her bowl.

Everyone could tell that Xia Wanwan was sad.

Xingxing: "Aunt Wanwan, you seem unhappy. Did we say something that upset you?"

"No." Xia Wanwan forced a smile.

Xingxing: "Daddy, look, Aunt Wanwan also agrees with our point of view. Xia Luoluo is really a great choice. She's almost five months pregnant, and she'll give birth in a few more months."

"She's indeed about to give birth," Huo Nanxiao replied casually.

Fu Xiyu looked at Huo Nanxiao: "You know perfectly well what kind of person Xia Luoluo is. You wouldn't really marry her for the sake of a child, would you?"

"Uncertain," Huo Nanxiao said calmly.

Fu Xiyu almost laughed out of anger at these words: "What do you mean by 'not sure'? You really like her?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "I've known Xia Luoluo for a few years. Apart from being greedy, she doesn't have many flaws. After all, she's pregnant now. If I keep ignoring her, it won't be good for the Huo family. I'll eventually have to acknowledge the child."

“You can acknowledge the child, but forget about Xia Luoluo. She’s made a mess of the Huo family.” Fu Xiyu thought Huo Nanxiao must be crazy to say something like that.

Huo Nanxiao, however, did not take it to heart: "She would never give me the child, and I would not let my child suffer outside."

Fu Xiyu suggested, "Then let Wanwan adopt the child. Anyway, Wanwan's health isn't good, and it would be nice for her to have a child to keep her company in the future. Besides, wasn't that what you decided before?"

The suggestion was rejected by Xia Wanwan as soon as it was made, saying, "That's my sister's child, I don't intend to raise him."

"Do you know what you're saying?" Fu Xiyu questioned.

Xia Wanwan forced a smile: "I know you're worried that I'll be destitute in my old age, but it's okay. I know my own body. I don't even know if I'll live to old age. I might just pass away one day, and then the children will suffer."

Fu Xiyu felt very sorry for Xia Wanwan after hearing this. If so many things hadn't happened, Fu Xiyu would have chosen to confess his feelings to Xia Wanwan and give her a home.

But ever since Xia Wanwan's reputation was ruined, the Fu family has looked down on her.

Fu Xiyu couldn't marry her, so he could only place his hopes on Huo Nanxiao. He said, "Nanxiao, I know you still have Wanwan in your heart. What happened recently wasn't just Wanwan's fault. You two should get back together."

"Are you here today as a mediator?" Huo Nanxiao asked in return.

Fu Xiyu replied, "I don't want to see you two make such a scene."

“I gave her shares and a house. Even if she does nothing, she can still live a life of comfort and security. What is there to complain about?” Huo Nanxiao retorted.

Fu Xiyu got angry: "How can you use money to measure the feelings between you?"

"My relationship with her is purely platonic," Huo Nanxiao replied.

Fu Xiyu was very unhappy: "Is it because Wanwan can't have children that you've become like this? But you said you would protect Wanwan, and you've gone back on your word so soon?"

"Didn't I protect her?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.

Fu Xiyu said, "If you really care about her, you should take her back to your own home."

Huo Nanxiao's expression turned cold.

Xia Wanwan noticed that Huo Nanxiao was unhappy and quickly spoke up to refuse, "No need, I can take care of myself. Nanxiao also has his own family, and these children need someone to take care of them. I'm an adult, and I can't rely on others for everything."

“You can’t even take care of yourself like this. It would be safer to have someone by your side,” Fu Xiyu said with great concern.

Huo Nanxiao, however, remained unmoved.

The naive Huo Yuan suggested, "Why don't you, Uncle Fu, take Aunt Wanwan home? Uncle Fu's house is so big, it won't be a problem for one more person to live here."

“It’s not suitable,” Fu Xiyu refused.

Huo Yuan didn't understand: "What's wrong with it? Does Uncle Fu dislike Aunt Wanwan? I thought you wouldn't dislike her, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

"It's not what you think. There are too many eyes and ears in the Fu family, so it's not appropriate for her to live in the Fu family," Fu Xiyu explained, which was also a way of giving Xia Wanwan an explanation.

Huo Yuan: "It's good to have more people. We can play together. What's wrong with that? Uncle Fu just doesn't like Aunt Wanwan's excuse."

Xingxing: "Uncle Fu is so hypocritical. I thought you were genuinely doing this for her own good, but now it seems you're just putting on an act and even trying to morally blackmail my dad. You're so hypocritical."

The finger was instantly pointed at Fu Xiyu, turning the once righteous man into a villain, and silencing Fu Xiyu completely.

Huo Nanxiao: "Let's eat."

He took the initiative to break the deadlock and successfully eased Fu Xiyu's embarrassment.

But they couldn't eat any more of the meal.

Fu Xiyu paid the bill himself. He originally wanted to leave Xia Wanwan in Huo Nanxiao's care, but when he saw the three clingy kids following Huo Nanxiao, Fu Xiyu hesitated.

"Uncle Fu, do you have something to say?" Xingxing asked curiously.

Fu Xiyu smiled awkwardly: "No."

"Oh, I thought you were going to leave Xia Wanwan with us. She's such a big girl, there's no room for her in my house." Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief.

Fu Xiyu frowned: "Xingxing, you're too hostile towards Wanwan."

Xingxing replied, "Uncle Fu is being too sensitive. I have no hostility towards her. I'm just telling the truth. There's really no room for her at my house. But I know Xia Luoluo is having a great time lately. You can send her to Xia Luoluo's place."

"No need," Fu Xiyu called out to Xia Wanwan, "Get in my car."

"Okay." Xia Wanwan said goodbye to Huo Nanxiao reluctantly.

In terms of etiquette, Huo Nanxiao was quite considerate, watching them leave.

"Let's go home too." After seeing Xia Wanwan off, Huo Nanxiao spoke to the triplets.

Xingxing asked curiously, "Is Daddy reluctant to part with Xia Wanwan?"

"No," Huo Nanxiao denied.

Xingxing asked again, "So you can't let go of your worries?"

Huo Nanxiao was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Wanwan is certainly wrong, but she doesn't deserve to die. She's already suffered enough. From now on, don't say too many hurtful things to her."

Xingxing muttered softly, "So he feels sorry for her. Why don't you marry her, Daddy?"
