Chapter 1086 He's Going to Ruin Your Wedding

"It's late, you should go home."

When it was time to leave, Huo Nanxiao didn't want to keep the guests any longer and directly told them to see them out.

Xia Wanwan remained seated without moving.

Ye Su walked up and said respectfully, "Miss Wanwan, this way please, I'll take you back."

Xia Wanwan forced a smile. "I want to say a few more words to Nan Xiao."

Ye Su frowned and subconsciously cast a questioning glance at Huo Nanxiao.

"You can go out first," Huo Nanxiao said.

Ye Su turned and left.

Xia Wanwan stood up from her chair, looked into Huo Nanxiao's eyes, and asked, word by word, "If Ning Xi insists on marrying into the Ling family, what will you do?"

"I will not let that happen." Huo Nanxiao's attitude was very firm.

Xia Wanwan said, "So you're all prepared? You want to cause trouble at the wedding? But this is Lingcheng. The Ling family will definitely set up heavy security measures to ensure the wedding can proceed normally."

Huo Nanxiao raised an eyebrow. "You seem quite concerned about her marriage?"

“She’s my sister, so it’s only right that I care about her, but I also hope you won’t put her in a difficult position,” Xia Wanwan said.

Huo Nanxiao lost his patience: "Wanwan, you should go back. These things have nothing to do with you. You don't need to get involved."

Xia Wanwan agreed with a wry smile.

She left the company alone, but instead of going home, she asked Ye Su to drop her off at a nearby late-night snack shop. She sat by the roadside and bought a cup of lemonade, which was very sour, but she couldn't taste anything.

Xia Wanwan knew where Xia Ningxi worked, so she took a taxi to her lab and sat down at a late-night food stall outside.

At midnight, Xia Ningxi and Ling Xiao came out of the laboratory to find food and ran into Xia Wanwan.

Xia Ningxi was somewhat surprised: "What a coincidence."

"Unfortunately, I came here specifically to see you," Xia Wanwan said frankly.

Xia Ningxi asked, "Did you need something from me?"

"Are you hungry? Sit down and have something to eat? I just ordered quite a lot, it should be ready soon." Xia Wanwan invited the two to sit down.

Xia Ningxi did not refuse and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Xia Wanwan handed the menu to Xia Ningxi: "Take a look and see what else you'd like to eat."

Xia Ningxi asked Ling Xiao, "What would you like to eat?"

"Porridge, please," Ling Xiao replied.

Xia Ningxi called the owner over and ordered another pot of seafood porridge.

Xia Wanwan sat opposite the two of them, watching them interact so naturally. She smiled and said, "You two are getting married in a couple of days, right? Congratulations!"

"Thank you," Xia Ningxi replied calmly.

"Is Nan Xiao going too?" Xia Wanwan asked cautiously.

Xia Ningxi said, "I'm not sure, but I'll probably go."

Xia Wanwan lowered her head and thought for a long time: "Actually, there's something I don't know whether I should tell you."

"What is it?" Ling Xiao asked.

Xia Wanwan said, "Nan Xiao might not want you to get married. If I'm not mistaken, he will definitely cause trouble for you on your wedding day. If you truly want to be together, I hope your wedding will go smoothly."

One sentence silenced Ling Xiao, and the pressure fell on him.

The Ling family was responsible for all the wedding arrangements, including security, which required the help of their own people. If anyone were to cause a disturbance at the wedding, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Ling Xiao asked very seriously, "Is your information accurate?"

"Based on my understanding of Nan Xiao, he will definitely not allow your wedding to proceed smoothly," Xia Wanwan said.

Ling Xiao: "Then why didn't you stop him? Aren't you two very close? Doesn't Huo Nanxiao listen to you?"

This question left Xia Wanwan speechless, and her face instantly turned pale.

Ling Xiao said, "Aren't you two together? Miss Wanwan, you two grew up together, why can't you do something about Huo Nanxiao? You know his special status, and I can't do anything to him."

“But you are different. You are Mr. Huo’s ex-wife and have a deep relationship with him. You should be able to keep Mr. Huo in check. Telling me this news will put me in a difficult position.”

Faced with Ling Xiao's questioning, Xia Wanwan smiled bitterly: "Mr. Ling is teasing me, right? You should have investigated Huo Nanxiao's attitude towards me as well. He prefers Ning Xi, not me."

Ling Xiao's expression was solemn: "Liking someone doesn't mean you can be together. This isn't my last chance, but yours. I know you still want to get back together with President Huo, but you need to work on it yourself. No one else can help you."

Although Xia Wanwan didn't say anything, Ling Xiao knew very well that Xia Wanwan told him this news in the hope that he could take action to restrain Huo Nanxiao, so that Xia Ningxi could successfully marry into the Ling family and completely cut off Huo Nanxiao's path.

However, no matter who Xia Ningxi marries, as long as Huo Nanxiao still has feelings for her, Xia Wanwan will not be able to benefit from it.

Xia Wanwan needs to find a way to keep Huo Nanxiao.

We are all intelligent people, and some things don't need to be said too explicitly; we can all understand the underlying principles.

The late-night snack has been served.

Xia Ningxi ate with great relish, but Xia Wanwan had little appetite.

Ling Xiao didn't move much, perhaps because he disliked the roadside stall.

Xia Ningxi brought him a bowl of seafood porridge: "Eat well, don't think too much."

"Okay." Ling Xiao smiled slightly.

Xia Ningxi blew on the porridge in her bowl and continued eating.

Seeing how harmoniously they got along, Xia Wanwan felt uneasy.

The late-night snack was quite lavish, and Xia Ningxi ate a lot. In the end, she paid the bill herself and didn't let Xia Wanwan treat her.

After seeing Xia Wanwan off, Xia Ningxi got into Ling Xiao's car.

Ling Xiao asked her, "What do you think about this?"

"I have no opinion," Xia Ningxi said calmly.

Ling Xiao said, "I will increase security on our wedding day. If you do not wish to marry me, you can tell me in advance and we can cancel the engagement at any time. However, I require your team to sign a two-year cooperation agreement with the Ling family."

"Okay," Xia Ningxi agreed.

Ling Xiao didn't press her to ask what she meant by "good," but as long as Xia Ningxi was willing to stay, it would be a good thing for the Ling family.

He started the car and asked, "Are you going back to your own place tonight, or to mine?"

“Come to my place, Huo Nanxiao is staying at my house,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "It's kind of ridiculous. He was the one who insisted on marrying Xia Wanwan and giving her a home. Now that Xia Wanwan has woken up and is standing by his side, he doesn't know how to cherish her."

"Actually, Xia Wanwan is quite pitiful. She was in a coma for so many years, and finally managed to marry into a wealthy family, but ended up like this. She came to see you today because she was unwilling to accept this. She wants you to marry me so that she can rightfully stand by Huo Nanxiao's side."

Xia Ningxi smiled bitterly: "What she did was meaningless. If she hadn't repeatedly protected her family and hadn't deceived Huo Nanxiao, Huo Nanxiao would definitely have chosen to spend his life with her."
