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 1109 Come Back With Me
Xia Wanwan was utterly humiliated by Li Yancheng's words.
Her last glimmer of hope was also extinguished.
She still doesn't understand what she did wrong.
She felt she hadn't done anything wrong.
It was Huo Nanxiao who let her down.
Even after the guests had left one by one, Xia Wanwan was still in a daze. She tried to contact Huo Nanxiao, but there was no response.
The Ling family was also indifferent to Xia Wanwan. They saw her but pretended not to see her. At most, they arranged an ambulance to take her to the hospital to treat her wounds, but Xia Wanwan refused.
She is waiting.
She waited for Ling Xiao to bring Xia Ningxi back.
Xia Wanwan firmly believes that Ling Xiao's choice of Xia Ningxi means he will definitely bring her back. As long as Xia Ningxi returns, the marriage will still stand.
But Ling Xiao did not do that.
Xia Ningxi was gone, and Ling Xiao didn't send anyone to find her. Instead, he chatted happily with Tang En and the others.
The Ling family members have all changed; they only care about business.
For them, it seems that only profit is the most important thing at the moment.
Xia Wanwan never expected that Ling Xiao would be this kind of person. She tried to negotiate with Ling Xiao several times, hoping that the Ling family could blockade the entire Ling City and bring Xia Ningxi back, but Ling Xiao ignored her.
Ling Xiao ignored Xia Wanwan and left, escorted by several bodyguards, after all the guests had left and only a few people remained.
Xia Wanwan stood there, stunned.
The last to leave were Don and the entire medical team, who didn't say anything about what happened that night.
Everyone pretended not to see Xia Wanwan and walked right past her.
"Tang En, do you know where Xia Ningxi went?" Xia Wanwan pressed.
Don rolled her eyes at her: "What's it to you?"
“I’m looking for her,” Xia Wanwan replied.
Tang En glanced at the wound on her neck and said, "It doesn't matter which doctor you see for this little injury. There's no need to see Xia Ningxi. She doesn't treat brain damage."
Xia Wanwan's face turned deathly pale. "I just want to know where she is!"
"Then go find her yourself, why are you asking me?" Tang En rolled her eyes at her and turned away.
The others ignored Xia Wanwan and, fearing she might cause them trouble, ran away as fast as they could.
Xia Wanwan was forgotten at the wedding amidst everyone's disgust and disdain.
She didn't understand why, even though Xia Ningxi was also the one who lost face today, everyone chose to avoid talking about it.
Even the Ling family didn't blame Xia Ningxi. Why?
Is it because Xia Ningxi can pave the way for the Ling family and bring them technology?
Have the Keling family no shame?
Both Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao have terrible reputations, so why is Xia Ningxi able to receive everyone's protection, while Huo Nanxiao holds a grudge against her over a trivial matter?
Xia Wanwan didn't understand. She walked down the steps in a daze and finally collapsed to the ground, powerless.
It rained heavily at night, washing away all traces.
The thick smoke from the fire was also washed away by the heavy rain.
The entire city of Lingcheng was unusually quiet.
Huo Nanxiao's car had been driving for a while.
Xia Ningxi kept looking out the window; no one was following them.
She looked at Huo Nanxiao's hands gripping the steering wheel, which were already stained red with blood.
Xia Ningxi didn't know when Huo Nanxiao was injured. She didn't want to get involved, but she couldn't help but speak up when she saw the red-stained steering wheel.
"Is your hand alright?" she asked.
Huo Nanxiao did not answer.
Xia Ningxi said, "Pull over to the side of the road. I don't want to die in the car with you. I still have a child to raise."
She was worried that Huo Nanxiao would lose too much blood and fall into a coma, worried that the vehicle would go out of control, and even more worried that the two of them would die together. She had no intention of going to hell with Huo Nanxiao.
But Huo Nanxiao didn't listen to her.
Xia Ningxi was very angry: "Didn't you hear me talking to you? Pull over."
"Where do you want to go?" Huo Nanxiao asked coldly.
"You're injured."
Xia Ningxi reminded.
Huo Nanxiao glanced at it indifferently, very calmly: "And then?"
"I can't stop you from wanting to die, but please don't drag me down with you." Xia Ningxi said with a displeased expression.
Huo Nanxiao did not answer, nor did he stop the car.
"If you don't stop the car, I'm jumping out," Xia Ningxi warned, her hand already gripping the door handle, ready to open the door and jump out at any moment.
Huo Nanxiao had no choice but to stop the car.
Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief.
She glanced behind her; no one was following them.
The fact that the Ling family didn't chase after her surprised her.
She didn't know how to face Huo Nanxiao; her feelings were extremely complicated.
“You shouldn’t have come,” Xia Ningxi said.
Huo Nanxiao didn't speak, but only glanced at the wedding dress she was wearing and remained silent.
To be honest, this was the first time in a long time that Xia Ningxi had sat down with Huo Nanxiao so calmly.
However, Xia Ningxi's feelings were very complicated at this moment.
She didn't know what to say to Huo Nanxiao.
Looking at the dark sky outside, it was already very late.
Xia Ningxi said, "I should go back now. The children are still waiting in the banquet hall, and I'm worried about them."
“They’re alright,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi looked at his face: "You didn't raise the child, so of course you can say these things so easily. When you made such a big fuss, did you think about the child's situation?"
Huo Nanxiao looked into Xia Ningxi's eyes: "When you married Ling Xiao, did you ever think about their future?"
Xia Ningxi said calmly, "He is my best choice."
"But he is not the child's biological father."
"unimportant."
Xia Ningxi interrupted Huo Nanxiao, saying, "You, as the biological father, have never raised the child all these years, so what right do you have to criticize others?"
"Don't even mention Ling Xiao, even my colleagues treat their children better than you do, so why do you think that just because Ling Xiao isn't the child's biological father, you'll treat the child differently?"
Xia Ningxi found it ridiculous.
Over the years, Huo Nanxiao has not fulfilled his obligations to his child much. Huo Yuan was raised by him, but he failed to raise him well and eventually handed him over to others to raise.
Is such a father truly a qualified father?
Xia Ningxi did not think so.
"As I've said before, I won't stop you from seeing your child. As long as you want, the child is still your child, and you can see him if you want. But all of this is really unnecessary."
"You ruined my wedding. You're feeling good now, but have you thought about what I'll do in the future?"
“I will become the subject of gossip, and it might even affect my work. At least for now, I can’t stay in Lingcheng. Everyone here today is a big shot in Lingcheng. We’ll run into each other again in the future.”
Huo Nanxiao had never thought of these things.
All he knew was that he was rich and powerful and could do whatever he wanted.
But this money doesn't belong to Xia Ningxi, and she can't possibly live off Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao knew what Xia Ningxi was worried about. He said, "What Ling Xiao can give you, I can also give you. I can build you the largest laboratory in the country and open a pharmaceutical company for you."
"And then?" Xia Ningxi asked in return.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I can agree to anything you want."
Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "I can fight for what I want myself. I don't need your explanation, nor do I need you to spend a lot of money to make me do all that messy stuff."
I'm not Xia Wanwan, nor am I a worthless person. I'm not that greedy. I just want to live my own life well, unlike you.
"I don't even know what you want to do or what your purpose is."
Huo Nanxiao looked into Xia Ningxi's eyes: "Do you really not know what I want to do?"
"I don't want to know," Xia Ningxi said coldly.
Huo Nanxiao felt a bitter taste in his mouth, concealing the complex emotions in his eyes: "Come back with me."
