Chapter 1052 Urging Childbirth

Xia Ningxi wasn't hungry, so she went upstairs and took a hot shower. When she came out, Huo Nanxiao had already taken the three children to rest. With nothing else to do, Xia Ningxi went back to her study.

There was a lot to do in the lab, and by the time everything was sorted out, it was already very late.

With Xia Jingcheng not home, the children like to stay with their parents. Not wanting to disturb Xia Ningxi, they can only cling to Huo Nanxiao, and they all sleep while hugging Huo Nanxiao.

She wanted to spend some time with the children, but seeing how soundly they were sleeping next to Huo Nanxiao, she didn't want to disturb them, so she went back to her room and took a quick hot shower.

I couldn't fall asleep after taking a shower, so I just sat by the nightlight and read.

Xia Ningxi didn't notice Huo Nanxiao entering the room until he reached the bedside.

"Why are you here?" Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I came to see you."

“What’s so interesting about an adult like me? If you’re bored, you can stay with the kids and put them to sleep,” Xia Ningxi said.

Huo Nanxiao asked, "Did you meet with anyone else today?"

"Yes, I met with Li Yancheng. He said the Han family is very angry because of Xia Luoluo's pregnancy and believes they can't use Xia Luoluo to threaten you, so they plan to take action against me. Li Yancheng also said that as long as I marry him, I can avoid being retaliated against." Xia Ningxi said calmly.

Looking at Huo Nanxiao's face, she added, "But I'm already married, there's no need for me to go through the whole divorce and remarriage thing, it's pointless."

"So you plan to spend your life with Ling Xiao?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi shrugged indifferently: "It doesn't matter. Who I'm with doesn't affect me much. I have my own job and child now, and I can take care of myself."

For Xia Ningxi, marriage is not a necessity. She has passed the age where she feels she must marry a man, and she has never thought that she can definitely grow old with someone in this life.

People always change. No matter what they are like now, everyone will change over time.

She met Huo Nanxiao's eyes, her gaze clearer than ever before: "I know what you're thinking, and I know you're worried about the three children. I promised you I wouldn't restrict your visits to the children. But beyond that, I can't promise you anything else."

Although they were the original couple, they both knew in their hearts that there was an insurmountable chasm between them.

Xia Ningxi married Huo Nanxiao against all odds, thinking that they could develop feelings for each other over time and that Huo Nanxiao would eventually fall in love with her. But now Xia Ningxi doesn't think that way anymore.

Instead of hoping a man will change his mind, you should probably think about why your dog would fart.

"I'm tired, you can go out now, I want to rest." Xia Ningxi smiled and didn't make things too ugly with Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao said, "If you truly love Ling Xiao, you must spend the rest of your life with him. I don't mind."

"Really?" Xia Ningxi looked into his eyes.

Huo Nanxiao: "He's not right for you. To him, you're just more cost-effective. The Ling family wants a woman who can stand on her own two feet. He might find someone he likes better in the future."

Xia Ningxi chuckled lightly: "It doesn't matter."

There's no point in saying more; Xia Ningxi knows this better than anyone else.

She glanced at the sky outside the window and realized it was raining. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the pattering sound broke the strange atmosphere between the two of them.

Xia Ningxi leaned against the headboard, her beautiful eyes gazing at Huo Nanxiao's handsome face. She asked, "Is there anything else?"

"That's all." Huo Nanxiao sighed and left.

The door closed softly, but the silence between them was deafening.

Xia Ningxi turned over to sleep, not thinking too much about it.

It's unclear whether Huo Nanxiao was angry, but he left home that night and didn't return for several days afterward.

Xia Ningxi was enjoying a peaceful life and was living a fairly good life.

She was busy with work and devoted almost all her attention to her patients. Several patients under her care had improved, especially Lin Jiangbei, whose health had improved significantly after long-term treatment, and he gradually moved back to the Ling family home from the hospital.

The Ling family was overjoyed and even hosted a special banquet to celebrate.

Xia Ningxi was also among those invited and enjoyed a good meal.

People who didn't like Xia Ningxi before became very friendly towards her after seeing Lin Jiangbei so lively.

During the dinner, the family was very happy. Even though the three children Xia Ningxi brought were not the Ling family's biological children, they did not show any disgust. On the contrary, they treated the children as their own, calling them "young master and young lady". The three little ones were very happy.

After the banquet, Ling Shuang specifically sought out Xia Ningxi. Initially, the Ling family was dissatisfied with this marriage, but now everyone felt that Xia Ningxi was quite valuable and gradually accepted her.

But Ling Shuang knew that this acceptance might not last a lifetime.

She found a secluded spot and privately asked Xia Ningxi, "What are you planning to do about your relationship with my older brother?"

"I don't know, perhaps you can offer a suggestion?" Xia Ningxi asked in return.

Ling Shuang said, "I don't know what my older brother is thinking, but I'm sure he thinks you have value. I can see that there's no affection between you, so I think your marriage won't last long."

“I think so too.” Xia Ningxi nodded.

Ling Shuang: "Have you ever considered bigamying Huo Nanxiao?"

"Not for the time being," Xia Ningxi said.

Ling Shuang breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you don't commit bigamy. Things are fine as they are now. The Ling family can fund your research, and you can help the Ling family. It's a win-win situation. If you had divorced my brother, things wouldn't have been so easy."

"Why don't you just live with my older brother? No matter what happens in the future, you already have three children, and the Ling family likes them very much. Why not choose my older brother? At least he doesn't have any mistresses outside."

All things considered, Ling Xiao is actually quite good. He gives you money to spend, doesn't require you to go back to live with him, and there won't be any conflicts between you and your mother-in-law. Most importantly, he has power and influence, and can protect you and your child. He's really not bad.

Xia Ningxi said, "He's the eldest son of the Ling family, so he'll definitely want a biological child, right?"

“That’s true, it’s not too late to have children later when you’ve developed feelings for each other!” Ling Shuang said.

Xia Ningxi: "I don't plan to have any more children."

Ling Shuang's voice went hoarse. As a member of the Ling family, she hoped that Xia Ningxi would have a child belonging to the Ling family, but making such a request would be a bit unreasonable. She dared not make the suggestion again, but the others did not think so.

The Ling family is very united and they all hope that Xia Ningxi and Ling Xiao can really be together. After they got their marriage certificate, they started urging them to have children, and their thoughts were completely unanimous.
