Xia Ningxi lay in a pool of blood after a difficult labor from her two-year marriage, completely forgetting that it was the day of his wedding to someone else.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Leave th...
Chapter 1081 Can't even keep a man
Xia Ningxi ended up choosing a wedding dress at random, and the three children didn't say anything more, all of them supporting Xia Ningxi's choice.
She also specially chose a new outfit for the children, especially for Chu Chu. She chose a children's version of a wedding dress for Chu Chu to wear, making the little girl look very pretty and attracting a lot of praise.
Although Xia Ningxi had a minor argument with Huo Nanxiao during the wedding dress fitting, it didn't affect her mood too much.
After finalizing everything, Xia Ningxi took the child to a nice restaurant nearby and ordered many of the child's favorite dishes.
Xia Ningxi didn't listen carefully to what Huo Nanxiao was saying across from her; she answered Ling Shuang's call.
Ling Shuang said, "Where are you? I heard you went to try on wedding dresses today, so I came to look for you, but they said you left."
Xia Ningxi replied, "I'm eating nearby."
"Should I come find you?" Ling Shuang suggested.
Xia Ningxi glanced at Huo Nanxiao across from her and said, "President Huo is here too."
Ling Shuang said, "That's great. I happen to have something to discuss with him at the company. Send me your address and I'll come over to you right now."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ningxi sent Ling Shuang an address.
Soon Ling Shuang and Lin Jiangbei arrived.
Lin Jiangbei looked quite well, and when he saw Huo Nanxiao, he greeted him happily: "President Huo, it's been a long time."
Huo Nanxiao responded with a faint reply, which was considered a response.
Lin Jiangbei, who had been looking rather unwell, beamed when he saw Huo Nanxiao. He pulled out a chair and sat down opposite Huo Nanxiao, asking, "Mr. Huo, what brings you here to see my sister-in-law today?"
One sentence completely ruined the atmosphere.
All three children turned to look at Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao asked very calmly, "Are you cured?"
Lin Jiangbei said with a smile, "It was restored very well. It's all thanks to my sister-in-law's skillful hands. If it weren't for her, the grass on my grave would be two meters high. That's why I like her very much. It's a blessing for everyone in the Ling family that she was able to marry into the Ling family."
Ling Shuang smiled and said, "Jiang Bei is right. My sister-in-law is indeed very outstanding. Our whole family likes her very much."
Huo Nanxiao casually closed the menu: "I heard you guys are really generous. You not only arranged a new villa for Xia Ningxi, but also gave her absolute freedom and tried not to bother her."
Ling Shuang smiled and replied, "Indeed, many people can't compare to her in this respect. It's understandable that she chose my eldest brother."
Huo Nanxiao: "In that case, you shouldn't mind having one more person in Xia Ningxi's house. I happen to have nowhere to go, so I plan to stay with her for the time being. You can also inform Ling Xiao in advance when you go back."
One sentence left Ling Shuang speechless. Her lips twitched violently: "Is President Huo joking?"
Huo Nanxiao remained expressionless: "Who's joking with you?"
Ling Shuang said, "I heard that President Huo has been taking care of Xia Wanwan recently and is even preparing to get engaged to her. Why is he so persistent with my sister-in-law? Could it be that he wants her to treat Xia Wanwan's illness?"
Huo Nanxiao: "Nonsense. However, I do have plans to remarry, but not with Xia Wanwan."
Ling Shuang said sarcastically, "You wouldn't be trying to steal my brother away, would you? They're legally married now, no one can take them away."
Huo Nanxiao casually sipped his hot tea: "If I remember correctly, they did not register their marriage in China. At least in China, they are not considered a couple."
He didn't care which country Xia Ningxi and Ling Xiao got their marriage certificate in; since they didn't get it in China, they weren't considered a legal couple.
Legally speaking, it makes sense.
The two couldn't reach an agreement on this matter, and Ling Shuang was too lazy to continue arguing with Huo Nanxiao.
She turned her gaze to the three children and asked Chu Chu, "Did you accompany them to try on wedding dresses today?"
Chu Chu nodded vigorously: "I went, I went! The wedding dresses that Uncle Ling prepared for Mommy are all super beautiful. I like every single one of them. Mommy also picked out a children's wedding dress for me. It's super beautiful."
"Wow, what about Xingxing and Ayuan? Have you picked out any suits?" Ling Shuang asked curiously.
Huo Yuan nodded: "I've chosen."
Xingxing said, "I also chose a set."
Ling Shuang was very happy: "That's great! We just didn't find any flower girls, so it's perfect for you to be the flower girls."
"Okay!" the three little ones readily agreed.
Ling Shuang's gaze fell on Huo Nanxiao: "Mr. Huo, will you also be attending the wedding?"
"Yes." Huo Nanxiao said only one word.
Ling Shuang said, "That's great. The Ling family will definitely treat you well then."
Huo Nanxiao remained silent.
Lin Jiangbei tilted his head to look at Huo Nanxiao and asked, "Mr. Huo, you won't cause trouble, will you?"
"Hehe." Huo Nanxiao chuckled, offering no explanation.
Lin Jiangbei said, "You already have Xia Wanwan. She's not in good health right now. You should take good care of Xia Wanwan and live with her."
“Xia Ningxi is already married to my older brother, and you promised her custody of the three children. I hope you can keep your word and not hurt Xia Wanwan’s feelings.”
Huo Nanxiao did not answer.
Chu Chu spoke up: "Don't worry, Brother Jiangbei, we won't go back with him."
Xingxing nodded: "That's right, wherever Mommy is, we'll be there. Since Daddy chose Xia Wanwan, he definitely won't regret it."
Seeing that all three children were unwilling to go with Huo Nanxiao, Lin Jiangbei's worries lessened somewhat.
They all knew very well that Xia Ningxi and Ling Xiao had no feelings for each other.
They could get married, but it was all just mutual exploitation.
But if Huo Nanxiao were to use the three children to threaten Xia Ningxi, she might really change her mind.
As long as the three children stand firm, Huo Nanxiao will be unable to interfere.
They were all in good spirits.
After the food was served, Lin Jiangbei took great care of the three children, and Ling Shuang did the same, treating the three children as family.
They were all used to the care of the Ling family, so they didn't object to Xia Ningxi marrying Ling Xiao.
Huo Nanxiao didn't eat much at this meal.
The others, however, seemed to enjoy their meal.
Ling Shuang didn't take advantage of Huo Nanxiao; she deliberately paid the bill when Huo Nanxiao wasn't paying attention.
After they finished eating and drinking, they suggested taking Xia Ningxi home, but Xia Ningxi refused because she wanted to take her child to the amusement park.
Xia Ningxi didn't take the child home until 9 p.m.
As expected, Huo Nanxiao followed them, and Xia Ningxi didn't try to drive him away, mainly because she simply couldn't.
Once home, she simply had Huo Nanxiao help Xingxing and Huo Yuan take a bath, while she took Chuchu to another bathroom to wash up.
When Chu Chu came out after washing up, Huo Yuan and Xing Xing were still playing around in the bathroom, and Xia Ningxi didn't pay any attention to them. She took Chu Chu back to the dormitory.
Xia Jingcheng heard the children playing and came to check on them. After learning that Huo Nanxiao was taking care of the children, he did not go in to disturb them.
However, he found it strange that Huo Nanxiao had been coming to their house so often these past few days.
Xia Jingcheng asked, "Ning Xi, what exactly does Huo Nanxiao want to do?"
"You want to remarry, don't you?" Xia Ningxi replied.
Xia Jingcheng said, "Didn't you explain it to him clearly?"
Xia Ningxi smiled bitterly: "I've made it clear, but he's unhappy and insists on staying at our house. What can I do?"
Xia Jingcheng lowered his eyes: "He has been with Xia Wanwan all this time. Logically speaking, after so much time has passed, he should have rekindled his old feelings for Xia Wanwan. What's wrong with Xia Wanwan? She can't even keep a man."
"I'm wondering the same thing." Xia Ningxi was also quite puzzled.
Logically speaking, the two of them have a very deep relationship, and now that no one is bothering them, they should rekindle their old flame and get back together.
Huo Nanxiao is no longer afraid of being pressured to have children. Even if Xia Wanwan can't have children, they can still live a good life together.
But Huo Nanxiao seemed to have no intention of remarrying Xia Wanwan, and Xia Wanwan didn't seem to be in any hurry at all.
