Chapter 1083 We Choose Uncle Ling

Xia Ningxi immediately bristled upon hearing Huo Nanxiao's words. She was furious: "What do you mean by this? Have you gone back on your word? You didn't say that before. What are you trying to do with this tone now? Are you trying to take my child away from me?"

“It’s not impossible,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Ningxi was so angry that she was about to slap Huo Nanxiao across the face.

Huo Nanxiao held Xia Ningxi's hand and looked at her calmly: "These are my only three children. Even if you want me to be with Xia Wanwan, you have to hand the children over to me."

"Why don't you find someone else to have children with? These three children are all my own, and I will never give you any of them!" Xia Ningxi's attitude was very firm.

Huo Nanxiao said, "You know that Wanwan's health is not good and she is unable to have children. If she could have children, I wouldn't be so insistent. The Huo family, such a large family, still needs a legitimate heir."

"You must give me at least one of these three children."

“If you take all the blame, not only will I not agree, but my family will not agree either. Do you want Dad to take action himself? If he gets involved, things won’t be so easy to talk about.”

Huo Nanxiao's voice was full of warning.

Xia Ningxi's fists hardened: "Are you threatening me?"

“I’m telling you the truth,” Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice.

Unable to slap Huo Nanxiao across the face, Xia Ningxi simply kicked him instead.

Huo Nanxiao winced in pain but remained silent, enduring the pain.

Xia Ningxi sneered: "Does it hurt? If it does, that's to be expected. My childbirth was much more painful than this. What did you do? What else can you do besides keep vigil for Xia Wanwan?"

Why should you raise the child I risked my life to give birth to? Are you planning to have Xia Wanwan raise him? Are you afraid Mom and Dad won't accept Xia Wanwan? How old are you? You can't even protect a woman?

Huo Nanxiao listened quietly to Xia Ningxi's words, his aura chillingly cold.

"I can't give you any of the three children. If you want to argue with me, I'll take the children abroad and get a job in a government agency. I'll hide the three children so you'll never see them again in your life," Xia Ningxi said ruthlessly.

The reason she was still willing to let Huo Nanxiao see the child was because Huo Nanxiao was relatively easy to talk to, didn't fight or compete, and could provide emotional support to the child.

But if Huo Nanxiao were to fight her for custody of the children, Xia Ningxi could ensure that Huo Nanxiao would never see the three children again in his lifetime.

She keeps her word!

The two sides reached a stalemate.

The atmosphere in the dimly lit room was tense and confrontational.

Xia Ningxi didn't even bother to look at him, and said angrily, "My house doesn't accept guests tonight, you can leave!"

"I'm not leaving." Huo Nanxiao refused very decisively.

Xia Ningxi said, "If you don't leave, I'll move to the Ling family's place tomorrow."

“I can stay at the Ling family’s house. Their backyard is very large, and my private jet can land directly there. It won’t be difficult for me to find you, and I won’t have to worry about anyone blocking the door,” Huo Nanxiao said calmly.

He didn't look like he was joking.

One sentence left Xia Ningxi speechless with anger. She was furious: "Have you no shame?"

"What's the use of a face?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.

Xia Ningxi said, "Okay, very good. Since you have this attitude, then we have nothing more to say. I'm getting married at the end of the month. I hope you won't interfere with my wedding. After the wedding, I will live with Ling Xiao and our three children!"

I'll make them call Ling Xiao "father." As for you, his biological father, you're useless now!

Huo Nanxiao picked up the storybook and continued telling bedtime stories, completely ignoring Xia Ningxi.

The three children looked at Huo Nanxiao, then at Xia Ningxi, and suddenly didn't know what to do.

But they couldn't stand the bedtime story anymore and quietly processed the topic of their argument.

Huo Yuan looked at his younger siblings very seriously and asked, "If Daddy insists on having only one child, which of you would want to stay with Daddy?"

Chu Chu shook her head instinctively: "I don't want to, I don't want to go with him, I want to stay with Mommy."

Xingxing asked curiously, "Where's my brother?"

Huo Yuan said, "You choose first, then I'll choose."

Xingxing said, "I don't want to put Mommy in a difficult position, nor do I want Daddy to cause trouble."

Xingxing paused, looked at Huo Nanxiao, and said very seriously, "If Daddy insists on having a child with you, I can go back with you and live with Xia Wanwan, but..."

"It's dangerous for Xia Wanwan to live with me. You have to ensure her safety at all times, and you also have to be vigilant about your own safety, because I might accidentally set the house on fire and burn both of you down."

"Wow, Xingxing is so amazing!" Chu Chu's eyes lit up.

Xingxing said, "So I'll stay with Daddy, that way they won't have to fight."

Chu Chu excitedly raised her hand: "I want one too! I want one too! I want to follow Daddy! I want to burn down Daddy's house too!"

Huo Yuan's small face scrunched up: "Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Chu Chu said, "It's okay, Daddy's family is rich, it's fine if it burns. Just consider it as inviting Daddy to watch the fireworks show."

Xingxing nodded in agreement: "I think Chuchu's point is very valid."

Finally, the three children started discussing how to get revenge on Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao was so angry at their outrageous words that he laughed. He said, "Arson is illegal."

Xingxing said, "I'm a child. I'll burn my own house, but I'll avoid other people. I'll set the fire in a civilized way, and nothing will happen."

Chu Chu chimed in with her complaints: "Daddy's so stingy. He gives Xia Wanwan so much money every day, but he won't even treat us to a fireworks show. Who wants to live with a stingy guy like you?"

Huo Nanxiao was both amused and exasperated, his gaze falling on Xia Ningxi: "Do you want to do something about this?"

Xia Ningxi said, "Why don't you just stop them from going home with you?"

"Yes, Daddy, if you don't take us away, we won't set fires," Chu Chu suggested.

Xingxing wholeheartedly agreed: "Chuchu is right. Daddy, you and Xia Wanwan are living a good life, why do you have to bother us and Mommy? Mommy is getting married soon."

Huo Yuan also felt that Huo Nanxiao was wrong: "Since Daddy wanted to live with Mommy, why couldn't he have been nicer to her back then? It's too late for you to think about getting back together with Mommy now."

After a pause, Huo Yuan continued, "Uncle Ling is very good to Mommy and to us too. The invitations have already been sent out. If we don't get married, Uncle Ling will lose face. We don't want him to lose face."

"Do you want to embarrass me?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Chuchu said in her childish voice, "Who cares about you?"

Xingxing muttered, "Didn't Daddy already lose face so badly that everyone knows it? Everyone knows you married Xia Wanwan, that liar. What face do you have left? If you can bring a liar home, then you should just stay with her and not bother us."
