Chapter 1075 We Don't Want You Anymore

Huo Xiuyuan questioned Huo Nanxiao: "Xia Wanwan is deliberately dragging you along, trying to make you waste your life on her. Can't you see that?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "I know. Once she's feeling better, I'll arrange for someone to take care of her. I won't be there for her all the time, so you can rest assured about that."

Huo Xiuyuan said, "Wait for her to get better? Are you really sure she can get better? It's not that I'm misinterpreting her, but I simply don't trust her family. She must have already learned all of Xia Luoluo's tricks."

If she continues to stay ill like this, half-dead, you'll have to stay by her side. Huo Suian will also have to be raised by you. Time flies. Can you guarantee Xia Ningxi will stay in the same place waiting for you forever?

No one will wait for him in the same place.

No one would, not even Xia Ningxi.

The Ling family even sent Huo Xiuyuan two invitations, just in case they forgot and wanted to remind them that Xia Ningxi was going to hold a wedding with Ling Xiao.

Although Xia Ningxi was getting married for the second time, the Ling family didn't care at all and held a very grand wedding, inviting guests from all over the city to drink together. Such a luxurious affair would definitely make the news.

The Ling family is willing to spend a huge sum of money, so the wedding must be a very lively affair.

However, Huo Nanxiao never held a proper wedding for Xia Ningxi. In this respect alone, Huo Nanxiao is inferior to others.

Huo Xiuyuan was very angry, but after all, he was just an elder and could only reprimand Huo Nanxiao. He couldn't stop Xia Ningxi's wedding. Huo Nanxiao had to figure all of this out himself.

Huo Xiuyuan left in a fit of rage.

After he left, Xia Wanwan, who had been eavesdropping upstairs, carefully descended the stairs with the help of two maids.

During her rest period, Xia Wanwan could only walk a few steps with difficulty. She was very weak and could not walk more than two steps before she almost fell down the stairs.

Huo Nanxiao looked at her pale face, stepped forward to support the frail Xia Wanwan, and said, "What are you doing down here?"

Xia Wanwan walked with difficulty to the sofa and sat down, cautiously asking, "I heard Ning Xi is getting married, is that true?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "Hmm."

Xia Wanwan asked, "Did you receive an invitation?"

"No," Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Wanwan said, "I suppose Ning Xi doesn't want you to go. If you insist on going, I have no objection. I've been very grateful for your care these past few days. Uncle Huo is right, I can't be a burden to you for the rest of my life."

"I'm already in this state; whether I live or die in the future doesn't matter anymore. You've given me a very good life, and I'm extremely grateful for that. I really shouldn't have kept bothering you; otherwise, outsiders might think I'm faking illness to gain your sympathy."

This was clearly an answer to Huo Xiuyuan's earlier guess.

Xia Wanwan was telling Huo Nanxiao that she wasn't faking her illness; she was genuinely too badly injured and had no other choice but to seek Huo Nanxiao's help.

If she were physically able and had a better option, she wouldn't have done this.

Xia Wanwan looked at Huo Nanxiao's face and said, word by word, "If you can't let go of Ning Xi, then go back. I can take care of myself."

Huo Nanxiao looked down at her: "Are you serious?"

"Yes." Xia Wanwan nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Huo Nanxiao said to the two maids, "Take good care of her."

After leaving a message, he turned and left.

Xia Wanwan subconsciously grabbed Huo Nanxiao's sleeve.

Huo Nanxiao turned around, looked at her, and didn't say anything.

Xia Wanwan realized she might have made a mistake. She opened her mouth and couldn't help but ask, "I'm sorry, I know it might be bad for me to ask this, but Ning Xi has already announced her engagement to Ling Xiao. Could it be that she has already made preparations to spend her life with him?"

"What if she doesn't want to come back if you go back now?"

Huo Nanxiao asked, "Are you concerned about me or afraid that if I get back together with Xia Ningxi, you'll have nowhere to go?"

"I like you, I don't deny that, and I also hope to spend the rest of my life with you, I don't deny that either. But I respect all your choices. I just want to know, if Ning Xi is unwilling to remarry you, will you look back at me?" Xia Wanwan asked cautiously.

Huo Nanxiao looked into Xia Wanwan's eyes and asked, "When I had that accident back then, I always thought you saved my life, which is why I cared so much about you. All the kindness I've shown you over the years is to make up for the guilt I felt back then."

The reason I'm taking care of you this time is because you protected Chu Chu. I don't want Ning Xi to owe you a favor, so I found you a doctor and am accompanying you during your treatment. But Wan Wan, I have no feelings for you.

Huo Nanxiao's voice was very firm and earnest.

Xia Wanwan's haggard face gradually turned pale, and she spoke with difficulty, "I...I know all of this, I..."

She didn't know how to continue.

Huo Nanxiao said, "The person who saved me back then was Xia Ningxi, and the person I should make amends to the most is her. But I've mistaken her for someone else. From beginning to end, I'm the one who has wronged her."

Wanwan, you've already received so much. This is all I can give you. Don't covet what doesn't belong to you.

Xia Wanwan felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her eyes were red as she asked, "Don't you have even the slightest feeling for me? Did you ever love me at all?"

"No."

Xia Wanwan's reply was two incredibly cold words.

Xia Wanwan slumped onto the sofa and smiled bitterly: "I understand now. In the end, I was wrong. I was so naive to think that you still had feelings for me."

"There's no way I could have you in my heart, not ever in this lifetime." Huo Nanxiao smiled bitterly. "The person I should make amends to the most is Ning Xi, not you. You should take good care of yourself. Sui An is still young and will need your care in the future. I already have my own child and don't plan to adopt another one."

He rejected not only Xia Wanwan but also Huo Suian.

Although the child takes the Huo family name, he is not Huo Nanxiao's child. Huo Nanxiao will not accept Xia Wanwan, let alone acknowledge the child. Therefore, Xia Wanwan will have to figure out the child's future herself.

He should go.

Xia Wanwan tried to persuade him to stay, but Huo Nanxiao ignored her.

For more than a month, Huo Nanxiao has been accompanying Xia Wanwan as she recovers. He has done enough; Xia Wanwan will have to walk the rest of the road on her own.

Xia Ningxi has her own small villa in Lingcheng, but when Huo Nanxiao returned, he found the house completely empty.

He texted the children and learned that the three children were living at the Ling family's house and hadn't returned for many days. Xia Ningxi had also been in the lab for the past two days.

The house felt cold and lifeless. Huo Nanxiao suggested going to the Ling family to bring the three children back, but Xingxing refused.

Xingxing said, "Daddy, we are living very well at the Ling family's house. Uncle Ling is also planning to marry Mommy. From now on, the Ling family's house will be our home. We can live here. The villa you bought for Mommy is too small. It's not as big as Uncle Ling's manor. We like it here."

Huo Nanxiao said, "If you like big houses, I can buy them."

Xingxing: "No need, the Ling family is fine."

Huo Nanxiao: "Let A Yuan answer the phone."

A moment later, Huo Yuan took the phone and called out "Daddy" in a childish voice.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I'll come pick you up."

Huo Yuan said, "No, I want to live with my younger brother and sister. I don't want to go with Daddy."

Huo Nanxiao said, "The Ling family is, in the end, someone else's family. I'm taking you back to my own home. I can buy you anything you want. What Ling Xiao can give you, I can give you double."

Huo Yuan said, "Daddy, this isn't about money. Didn't you already run off with Xia Wanwan? Since you chose Xia Wanwan, why did you come back to us? Didn't you already abandon us?"

Chu Chu: "That's right, you were the one who left us first. Why should we go with you? Go and stay with your Xia Wanwan. We don't want you anymore."
