Chapter 149 This is unfair

Xia Ningxi was very nervous.

She's not ready to stay yet.

However, Huo Nanxiao didn't give Xia Ningxi a chance to think at all.

"Go pack your things and stay here tonight," Huo Nanxiao said to Xia Ningxi in a deep voice.

Xia Ningxi bit her lip: "There are still some things to take care of at the hospital."

"Is the child more important or the job?" Huo Nanxiao asked seriously, his whole demeanor changing.

Xia Xingxing blinked her pitiful big eyes: "Daddy, does Dr. Xia not want to stay with me? Please don't make things difficult for her, okay? It's okay if I'm scared at night. I'm a man, I'll be fine after crying all night."

“Daddy promised you, and he won’t go back on his word,” Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice.

A triumphant smile flashed in the little guy's eyes.

Xia Ningxi took in the little guy's every move and knew that Xia Xingxing was doing it on purpose. Xia Ningxi was furious. She was originally very worried that Xia Xingxing would be depressed because of the injury.

But seeing that the little guy still had the energy to scheme against her, Xia Ningxi felt that Xia Xingxing's injuries were probably not that serious.

Huo Nanxiao had already spoken.

Xia Ningxi couldn't leave even if she wanted to.

She had no choice but to stay, even though she felt it was a difficult decision.

Having just rushed off the operating table, Xia Ningxi was covered in the smell of disinfectant.

She couldn't stand the smell on her body, so she took a hot shower.

Xia Xingxing sat on her bed the whole time, like a clingy little tree spirit, holding onto Huo Nanxiao and refusing to let go.

Normally, Huo Yuan wouldn't cling to Huo Nanxiao like this, much less linger in his arms.

Huo Nanxiao quite liked the feeling of the little guy nestled in his arms, especially when he called him "Daddy" in a soft, sweet voice, Huo Nanxiao felt his heart melt.

Even the most aloof person couldn't help but become much gentler sitting next to Xia Xingxing.

Xia Xingxing was very pleased with herself.

He originally thought Huo Nanxiao was an unreasonable and wicked person and hated him, but now, for some reason, Xia Xingxing actually felt that Huo Nanxiao had a pretty good temper, at least he didn't lose his temper with her.

Xia Xingxing remembered that the wicked Xia Luoluo was still kneeling outside the door, holding Huo Nanxiao's hand: "Daddy, what about Auntie? Although Auntie hurt me, Daddy keeps punishing her. I'm scared. What if she holds a grudge against me?"

A chilling glint flashed in Huo Nanxiao's eyes, and he said very seriously, "You don't need to be afraid."

"We can't expect Auntie to kneel outside the door all night, can we?" Xia Xingxing blinked her big eyes.

Huo Nanxiao said, "She bullied you, kneeling all night is too lenient on her."

Xia Xingxing secretly felt smug.

He buried his little head in Huo Nanxiao's arms, "Daddy is so good to me, I love Daddy."

Huo Nanxiao was taken aback, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This was the first time he had heard the little guy say that he liked him.

Huo Nanxiao was overjoyed. He tightened his grip on the little guy, saying, "A Yuan, as long as you behave, Daddy will grant you anything."

Xia Xingxing frowned. Only if he behaves well can he agree? If that mean his bad daddy wants to kick mommy out, then he can't refuse either?

Hmph, he's not that stupid.

Xia Xingxing no longer likes Huo Nanxiao, but he is Huo Yuan's biological father after all, so Xia Xingxing doesn't want to strain the relationship between father and son too much, nor does she want Huo Nanxiao to like other women.

Huo Yuan no longer has a mother. If his father also leaves, wouldn't Huo Yuan be very pitiful?

Thinking about it carefully, the only way to perfectly resolve this issue is to bring Daddy and Mommy together.

Judging from Huo Nanxiao's indifferent appearance, Xia Xingxing was certain that Huo Nanxiao did not like Xia Ningxi.

This discovery made Xia Xingxing very angry. He couldn't understand why his mother liked his bad father so much and even had three children with him, while his bad father never liked his mother.

That's not fair.

Xia Xingxing was a little angry and wanted to bite Huo Nanxiao's hand to vent his anger, but he held back.

Hearing Xia Ningxi calling from the direction of the bathroom, Xia Xingxing immediately perked up her ears.

"Daddy, Dr. Xia is looking for me." He tried to break free from Huo Nanxiao's embrace.

Huo Nanxiao said, "You stay in bed and rest. I'll come over and check on you."

"Okay." Xia Xingxing obediently complied.

Huo Nanxiao strode towards the bathroom.

The lighting was somewhat dim.

The bathroom door was slightly ajar, and Huo Nanxiao pushed it open without thinking.

Xia Ningxi cried out in surprise and instinctively covered herself with the bath towel.

Huo Nanxiao then realized that Xia Ningxi was not wearing any clothes, only a thin bath towel wrapped around her body, which did not completely cover her slender and graceful figure. Her bare shoulders were as white as porcelain, and her pair of long and beautiful legs were even more tempting.

She had just finished a hot shower, and the bathroom was very warm. Her cheeks were slightly flushed, giving her a unique charm amidst the swirling steam.

Huo Nanxiao's eyes flickered, clearly not expecting Xia Ningxi to come out wearing only a bathrobe.

A complex light flickered in his deep eyes.

Xia Ningxi was startled when she realized that the person standing outside the door was Huo Nanxiao. She screamed and took a step back, but unexpectedly slipped and lost her balance.

Huo Nanxiao strode forward and, in the next second, pulled the nearly collapsing Xia Ningxi into his arms.

Xia Ningxi crashed heavily into the man's chest. Her nose hurt a little because Huo Nanxiao's chest was too hard, like a rock.

Xia Ningxi groaned in pain, her eyes brimming with tears that nearly spilled out.

Before she could think any further, she tried to struggle out of Huo Nanxiao's arms, but the bath towel on her body fell to the ground with a whoosh.

Xia Ningxi was completely stunned. Her brain went blank for a moment. Before she could react, her cheeks and ears were flushed. She panicked and hugged herself, hastily picking up a towel from the ground to wrap herself up.

"You... how did you get in here!" Xia Ningxi said tremblingly.

"Didn't you call me?" Huo Nanxiao looked down at the woman in front of him.

Xia Ningxi's cheeks flushed. "I didn't call you, I called..."

"Dressed like this, what do you expect A-Yuan to do for you? As a mother, can't you even do the most basic thing like avoiding suspicion?" Huo Nanxiao questioned sternly.

Xia Ningxi was stunned for two seconds. She was very angry: "I just wanted the child to help me get a piece of clothing. It's not as disgusting as you think."

“He’s four years old now. Don’t you know that there’s a difference between boys and girls?” Huo Nanxiao said.

Xia Ningxi replied, "If you hadn't forced me to stay here, would I have needed to ask the children for help with all these things?"

"It's your good fortune to stay in the Huo family. If you don't want to stay, you're free to leave," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.

Xia Ningxi sneered: "Fine, I'll go then."
