Chapter 116 Let's Sleep Together

Huo Yuan kept sending signals to Huo Nanxiao, but Huo Nanxiao saw them and remained unmoved.

Huo Yuan puffed out his cheeks, looking very angry.

What is Daddy doing? Can't you see Uncle is trying to take Mommy away?

Isn't Daddy afraid that Mommy will run off with Uncle?

Daddy, you big idiot!

Huo Yuan was so anxious he wanted to curse, so he could only tug hard at Huo Nanxiao's clothes.

Huo Nanxiao remained unfazed.

Huo Yuan gritted his teeth in anger. He couldn't rely on his father; he could only rely on himself.

The little guy plopped down on the ground, his face contorted in pain.

Xia Ningxi thought Huo Yuan was feeling unwell and quickly hugged him, asking, "A Yuan, what's wrong?"

"My stomach hurts," Huo Yuan said pitifully.

Xia Ningxi frowned: "Do you have diarrhea?"

"No, I just feel a lot of pain, my whole body aches." Huo Yuan pitifully squeezed out two lines of hot tears.

Xia Ningxi turned to Huo Jinchuan and said, "I'm sorry, Huo Yuan is having health problems, I can't go with you, I need to take him for a thorough medical check-up."

She picked up Huo Yuan and rushed out of the ward.

Huo Jinchuan was furious.

He could tell that Huo Yuan was faking it.

"Well done, brother. You've even used a child." Huo Jinchuan mocked.

Huo Nanxiao sneered: "She's not as innocent as you think."

"Who told me I like innocent girls? Xi Xi is my ideal type," Huo Jinchuan replied.

Huo Nanxiao said, "You'd better stay away from her."

"I can't do it." Huo Jinchuan refused outright.

A layer of ice formed in Huo Nanxiao's eyes. He walked up to Huo Jinchuan and said in a deep voice, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to. She is not someone you can mess with."

"But that's exactly the kind of woman I like." Huo Jinchuan said, neither humble nor arrogant, showing no weakness.

Huo Nanxiao grabbed Huo Jinchuan's collar angrily: "You're asking for death."

Huo Jinchuan smiled slightly: "Xixi is my girlfriend now. I can be as close to her as I want, and it's none of your business."

Huo Nanxiao clenched his fist.

Huo Jinchuan pried Huo Nanxiao's hand off his collar and said with interest, "If you are also interested in Xixi, we can compete fairly. As for who she will choose in the end, we'll each rely on our own abilities."

Huo Nanxiao gave a disdainful snort.

"What? You don't dare?" Huo Jinchuan asked.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Since you like this kind of woman, I'll give her to you."

Huo Jinchuan was taken aback. Huo Nanxiao was being so generous? He couldn't quite understand what Huo Nanxiao was thinking.

Just then, Huo Yuan and Xia Ningxi returned. After checking, they found that Huo Yuan was fine, but the little guy kept hugging Xia Ningxi and wouldn't let go.

Huo Jinchuan originally wanted to take Xia Ningxi out shopping, but they couldn't go because of Huo Yuan.

Afterwards, Huo Jinchuan was forced to leave alone.

Huo Nanxiao didn't even glance at Xia Ningxi before entering the adjacent lounge, turning on his computer, and starting a remote video conference.

Xia Ningxi ignored Huo Nanxiao and stayed to talk to Huo Yuan.

Huo Yuan glanced at the lounge, then at Xia Ningxi, and said, "I'd like a cup of tea."

"Okay, then I'll make you a cup of tea." Xia Ningxi indeed made a cup of tea.

Huo Yuan held it in his palm: "I don't like tea anymore, I want milk. Could you go out and heat up a cup of milk for me?"

"Okay." Xia Ningxi smiled gently, showing no displeasure at Huo Yuan's quick change of heart.

But after Xia Ningxi left, Huo Yuan immediately picked up the teacup in his hand and carefully walked towards Huo Nanxiao.

A tiny hand placed an unfinished cup of tea on the table.

Huo Yuan said, "Daddy, this is tea that Dr. Xia brewed. He asked me to bring it in for you."

Huo Nanxiao frowned, a hint of something unreadable appearing on his usually cold face.

He glanced outside the door.

Huo Yuan said, "Dr. Xia went to heat up some milk for me. This is tea she specially brewed for Daddy. Daddy, have a sip."

The little guy was very attentive.

Huo Nanxiao took a bite, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed; he wasn't so angry anymore.

Huo Yuan asked, "Daddy, what if Uncle steals Dr. Xia away?"

Huo Nanxiao's face hardened: "Why do you ask that?"

Huo Yuan said, "It seems that my uncle really likes Dr. Xia. He's still pursuing her. If he succeeds, wouldn't Dr. Xia have to marry him and become his wife? What should I call Dr. Xia then? Aunt?"

Huo Nanxiao's lips twitched, and his handsome face became even more gloomy.

Huo Yuan's face fell: "But I feel like there's something strange about this title."

Huo Nanxiao thought to himself, how could this not be strange?

He calls his own mother "aunt"...

Huo Jinchuan, that little brat.

Huo Nanxiao felt angry just thinking about Huo Jinchuan.

He told Huo Yuan, "She will not marry your uncle, much less become your aunt."

"What if it works?" Huo Yuan blinked his pitiful big eyes.

Huo Nanxiao suppressed his anger and said very seriously, "If Father says no, then no."

“Daddy is lying. They’re holding hands, but Daddy hasn’t even touched Dr. Xia’s hand. How can I believe you?” Huo Yuan asked.

Huo Nanxiao's face darkened; he was a little angry, but he didn't know why he was so angry.

The thought of Xia Ningxi and Huo Jinchuan holding hands was extremely irritating to Huo Nanxiao.

He lost interest in working, closed his laptop, and hugged Huo Yuan.

Huo Yuan asked cautiously, "Daddy, Dr. Xia is currently embroiled in a lawsuit, and she must be very upset. Uncle is so gentle with Dr. Xia, he's sure to win her favor. I don't want to lose Dr. Xia, so could you please not have such a stern face, Daddy? It'll scare her."

"Okay," Huo Nanxiao agreed to the little one in his arms.

Huo Yuan took out a few nuts he had peeled himself from his pocket and placed them in Huo Nanxiao's hand: "These are the nuts that Dr. Xia peeled for me, but her hand injury hasn't healed yet. Can Daddy peel them for me himself?"

Huo Nanxiao did not refuse. He carried Huo Yuan to the sofa, sat down, picked up his tools, and began to peel nuts with a few quick movements.

Huo Yuan didn't eat a single one. When Xia Ningxi returned with the hot milk, Huo Yuan pulled her to sit down next to him and stuffed a milky almond into her mouth.

Xia Ningxi saw Huo Nanxiao peeling shells with tools beside her, but she didn't say anything and forced herself to eat one.

Huo Yuan was very happy and said, "Dr. Xia ate the almonds that Daddy peeled, so she'll be staying tonight!"

cough--

Xia Ningxi almost choked on her own.

She coughed a few times suddenly: "Stay here?"

"Yes, stay with me." Huo Yuan nodded.

Xia Ningxi said, "Isn't it enough that your daddy is by your side?"

"No, I want Dr. Xia to stay with me too." Huo Yuan held Xia Ningxi tightly in his arms, refusing to let go.

Huo Nanxiao said, "If A Yuan tells you to stay, then stay."

How could Xia Ningxi dare to share a room with Huo Nanxiao? If others found out, who knows what they would say about her behind her back.

Xia Ningxi really wanted to leave at that moment.

She did not want to have anything to do with Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Yuan pitifully held Xia Ningxi's hand and said, "I'm scared at night, let's sleep together?"
