Chapter 1088 Huo Nanxiao Won't Come

Xia Wanwan's eyes welled up with tears. She lowered her head, not daring to look Huo Nanxiao in the eye. Even though Huo Nanxiao wished he could tear her to pieces, she didn't want him to leave the company.

Xia Wanwan said, "Nan Xiao, I'm sorry, I know you're very angry, but I also hope you can respect Ning Xi's choice. She finally found a good home, and if her wedding is ruined because of you, she will be very sad."

"Whether you resent me or hate me, as long as Ning Xi can get married properly, even if you hate me, I will have no regrets."

Her voice was choked with sobs, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. Her pitiful appearance was heartbreaking to see.

At this moment, Huo Nanxiao felt no pity for Xia Wanwan whatsoever. He angrily pushed Xia Wanwan away and walked towards the door.

As soon as one hand touched the doorknob, Xia Wanwan stopped her, saying, "You can't go out now."

"Get out." Huo Nanxiao spat out a single word in anger.

Xia Wanwan was pushed away by him, and she lost her footing and fell to the ground in a disheveled state. Her eyes were red and tears were streaming down her face: "Nan Xiao, are you really going to her wedding? She doesn't welcome you, why do you insist on going? Don't you think you've embarrassed yourself enough already?"

Huo Nanxiao stopped and looked down at the disheveled Xia Wanwan. Seeing her face streaked with tears, Huo Nanxiao felt no concern whatsoever; instead, he felt utter disgust.

"What happens between her and me is none of your business, an outsider."

"But I was once your wife, and we've known each other for many years. Were all those feelings from back then just a lie?" Xia Wanwan questioned hoarsely.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I married you only because I pitied you, not because I truly loved you. If I hadn't felt guilty towards you back then, I wouldn't have cared for you so much."

"Xia Wanwan, look at your actions! You're completely different from the Xia Wanwan I used to know. This terrifying version of you is a complete stranger to me. What makes you think you deserve to stay by my side? What right do you have to stay here!"

If it were the pure, innocent, and considerate Xia Wanwan from back then, she would never have put Huo Nanxiao in a difficult position, much less drug him.

She disdained to do such despicable things.

But Xia Wanwan is a completely different person now. How is what she's doing any different from Xia Luoluo's?

"You and Xia Luoluo are exactly alike," Huo Nanxiao said with disgust.

Xia Wanwan trembled all over, and she looked up in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"You and Xia Luoluo are cut from the same cloth. You can do exactly what she does." Huo Nanxiao was extremely disgusted with Xia Wanwan.

Xia Wanwan was also so shocked by Huo Nanxiao's words that she was speechless.

She never imagined that one day Huo Nanxiao would compare her to Xia Luoluo.

But she just didn't want Huo Nanxiao to ruin Xia Ningxi's wedding, was that wrong? She hadn't done anything immoral!

Xia Wanwan's eyes were filled with tears: "I never thought you would see me like this! I am not like Xia Luoluo. I have never done anything immoral. Have you forgotten how I protected Xia Chuchu? If it weren't for me, Xia Chuchu would have died long ago."

"If I were truly malicious, I wouldn't have let Xia Ningxi have an easy time, nor would I have protected her child. How can you see me like that?"

Xia Wanwan felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

Huo Nanxiao had completely lost his patience. As the drug took effect, his consciousness became increasingly blurred. He stopped wasting words with Xia Wanwan, opened the door, and walked outside.

Xia Wanwan watched Huo Nanxiao's departing figure but did not chase after him.

It was already time to leave work, and everyone in the company had already left.

Huo Nanxiao had a lot of drugs in the chicken soup he drank. He hadn't walked more than a few steps when he felt unsteady on his feet and was about to fall. In the end, he had to lean against the wall to try to stay awake, but the effect was not very noticeable.

Xia Wanwan slowly walked out of the president's office. Looking at Huo Nanxiao not far away, she went over and took the initiative to help him up.

"Get out." Huo Nanxiao angrily pushed her away.

Xia Wanwan said, "You can't go anywhere in your current state. I specifically told Ye Su to go back early when she left. There's no one else in the company. Just rest here and get some sleep."

She knew Huo Nanxiao would definitely attend Xia Ningxi's wedding, so in order to prevent Huo Nanxiao from having any ideas, Xia Wanwan had sent away Huo Nanxiao's capable assistants long ago.

Now, only the two of them remain in the company.

The drug was very potent; Huo Nanxiao could clearly feel dizzy and weak, and his legs had lost all strength.

Xia Wanwan helped him to sit down on a nearby sofa and said, "You're tired. Close your eyes, and time will pass quickly."

Huo Nanxiao angrily grabbed Xia Wanwan by the neck: "Have you forgotten who you rely on for your livelihood?"

“I know that if it weren’t for you, I would be having trouble even getting food to eat right now. I’m very grateful to you, but none of that matters. This was Ning Xi’s decision. She asked me to stop you. She doesn’t want you to ruin her marriage,” Xia Wanwan said earnestly.

Huo Nanxiao was stunned when he heard Xia Ningxi's name. He looked into Xia Wanwan's eyes and questioned, "She begged you? Impossible!"

Xia Wanwan smiled bitterly: "Do you think I can do this by myself? Where am I supposed to get drugs to knock you out? Ning Xi gave me all these things, and she personally told me that she hoped you wouldn't show up."

"Impossible!" Huo Nanxiao still didn't believe it.

Xia Wanwan asked, "Then tell me, where did I get the drug I used to knock you out?"

"Nan Xiao, wake up. Even if I lied to you before, I have already apologized. I know you have always felt guilty and think you have let Xia Ningxi down, but if you really want to make it up to her, then do as she wishes and don't bother her."

"You should get some rest. No one will bother you tonight."

Xia Wanwan's voice was like a spell, a lullaby in the night.

Huo Nanxiao fell asleep and there was no more sound.

Xia Wanwan sat next to him for a long time before leaving.

She needed to attend Xia Ningxi's wedding and offer her her sincerest blessings.

When Xia Wanwan appeared, Ling Shuang noticed her immediately.

Ling Shuang had assumed that Xia Wanwan had come with Huo Nanxiao, but after waiting for a long time without seeing Huo Nanxiao get out of the car, she took the initiative to walk up to Xia Wanwan and greet her.

Xia Wanwan smiled gently: "Hello, Miss Ling."

"Did you come alone?" Ling Shuang asked curiously.

Xia Wanwan said, "Yes."

Ling Shuang asked, "Didn't Huo Nanxiao come with you?"

“He has many important things to take care of at his company, so he won’t be coming tonight, but he asked me to bring a gift,” Xia Wanwan replied.

Ling Shuang breathed a sigh of relief: "I see. It's a good thing he didn't come."
