Chapter 1073 Ling Xiao is our daddy

Xia Ningxi has always been clear-headed; she knows what she wants.

But it seems that Li Yancheng has no idea what he wants most.

She wouldn't deny that Li Yancheng liked Xia Ningxi, because he was indeed nicer to Xia Ningxi than to others.

But Xia Ningxi knew that he still hoped to compete with Huo Nanxiao, and Xia Ningxi was the key to their rivalry.

She didn't want to dwell on it, and said to Li Yancheng, "Since you have nothing better to do, why don't you take me back to the Ling family?"

"No need to see me out." Li Yancheng refused without the slightest hesitation.

Xia Ningxi said, "Then I'll take a taxi back myself."

"Stop right there." Li Yancheng called out to her unhappily, "Can't you come to my house? Is my house worse than the Ling family's? I have a seaside manor and an underwater amusement park, which is much more fun than the Ling family's."

Xia Ningxi said, "It's not appropriate for a married woman like me to go and stay at someone else's house. You may be shameless, but I still have my pride."

"You're shameless," Li Yancheng retorted unhappily.

Xia Ningxi: "I'll just take a taxi back myself, I don't want to trouble you."

"Wait a minute, I'll take you there," Li Yancheng called out impatiently.

Despite his reluctance, he still sent Xia Ningxi back to the Ling family.

After parking the car in front of the Ling family's gate, Li Yancheng stepped on the brake. He glanced at the Ling family's house and couldn't help but complain, "It's so ugly. Don't you feel cramped living in a place like this?"

Xia Ningxi was both amused and exasperated. "Aren't you and Ling Xiao good partners? Haven't you always had a good relationship? Why do I feel like you have a lot of complaints about Ling Xiao now?"

Li Yancheng snorted coldly: "We don't cooperate much anymore."

"Huh? You're not cooperating anymore?" Xia Ningxi was surprised.

Li Yancheng said, "Yes, he's an eyesore. I don't want to cooperate with him; it's pointless."

"Are you alright?" Xia Ningxi said with a smile, "How about I check your brain too? Maybe it's full of water too."

"Your brain is full of water," Li Yancheng retorted angrily.

Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "I'm home now, so I won't invite you in. Thank you."

Li Yancheng watched Xia Ningxi's departing figure, feeling uneasy.

As far as he was concerned, there was nothing to say about Xia Ningxi. Even after returning to the Ling family, she lived alone in a separate villa complex.

The three children, Xia Jingcheng, and Xia Ningxi live in a separate villa.

The Ling family gave them plenty of privacy and didn't bother them, which was why Xia Jingcheng was able to stay there these days. He usually didn't like staying at other people's houses, but he felt quite comfortable at the Ling family's place.

The three little ones were very outgoing and had completely made the Ling family's house their own.

Although the Ling family didn't like the three children at first, they couldn't resist their good looks and sweet voices. Within a few days, they had won over the entire Ling family, and everyone adored them.

Xia Ningxi was initially worried that her child wouldn't be used to living at the Ling family's house, but now it seems she had worried too much.

Back home, Xia Ningxi went to her room. Perhaps the sound of her footsteps attracted the children's attention, because Huo Yuan peeked out and immediately saw Xia Ningxi's back.

"Mommy? Mommy's home!" Huo Yuan shouted excitedly.

A star peeked out: "Where? I don't see it."

Huo Yuan: "They've gone into the room."

Xingxing immediately ran to check and indeed found Xia Ningxi hungry. They were overjoyed and immediately surrounded Xia Ningxi.

The three little ones kept climbing on Xia Ningxi, wanting to be hugged.

Xia Ningxi said, "One at a time, I can't carry so many."

Xingxing took a step back, Huo Yuan also took a step back, and Chu Chu carefully climbed into Xia Ningxi's arms and hugged her.

"Mommy, you haven't been home for several days. Chu Chu misses you so much," Chu Chu said in her childish voice.

Xia Ningxi gently patted the little girl's head: "Chuchu, be good. I've been busy these past few days. Have you gotten hurt at home? Have you been eating well?"

“We’re very good, Mommy, don’t worry,” Chu Chu said sweetly.

Huo Yuan asked curiously, "Will Mommy be staying at home from now on? Will she still be going to the lab?"

Xia Ningxi said, "I have to go again tomorrow. The research isn't finished yet, but don't worry, I'll come back to see you when I have time."

Huo Yuan pouted; "But Mommy hasn't come back for many days."

"I know, I'll take you out to play tomorrow and treat you to a nice meal as compensation," Xia Ningxi said with a smile.

Huo Yuan thought about it and agreed.

Xingxing held up her finger: "I want another toy."

“Okay, no problem.” Xia Ningxi readily agreed.

Chu Chu: "Then I'll have a small cake too. Chu Chu likes to eat small cakes."

"Okay, I'll buy it all for you. Buy whatever you want to eat, whatever you want to eat," Xia Ningxi promised.

The three children were finally satisfied and hugged Xia Ningxi, whimpering for a long time.

Xia Ningxi felt a warm glow in her heart; this was the happiest time for her.

"Okay, I'm going to take a shower. You two go to bed and wait for me. Mommy will sleep with you tonight," Xia Ningxi said softly.

The three little ones were overjoyed and quickly climbed onto Xia Ningxi's bed.

When Xia Ningxi came out of the bathroom, they were already sitting obediently, and Chu Chu even took her little toys to bed.

Xia Ningxi took a storybook and told them bedtime stories.

Chu Chu listened attentively, while Xing Xing remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

At first, Huo Yuan listened to the stories very attentively, but when he heard the story of "The Little Sheep Looking for His Father," he suddenly asked, "Mommy, Daddy hasn't come to see us for several days. Does he not want us anymore?"

Xia Ningxi was stumped by the question. She lowered her eyes and realized that all three children were staring intently at her.

Xia Ningxi sighed and replied, "Xia Wanwan's health is very poor, she is seriously ill, and Huo Nan has been staying with her during this time."

"But isn't this a bad thing for him? These things can be left to others, so why does Daddy have to stay with her all the time? Does Daddy like her and want to remarry her?" Huo Yuan asked.

Xia Ningxi fell silent.

Xingxing said, "Okay, stop asking. How would Mommy know these things? She's already divorced Daddy, and we're living with the Ling family now. Uncle Ling is our daddy."

Chu Chu tilted her head and asked, "But Uncle Ling doesn't seem to be as rich as Daddy. Daddy's house is bigger."

Xingxing: "What do you know? The Ling family is very rich. Mommy is now married to Uncle Ling. We are with Mommy, so we are Uncle Ling's children. Don't think about Daddy anymore."

The simplest and easiest way is to just forget about Huo Nanxiao.

Who cares who he's with?
