Chapter 169 Huo Nanxiao is Jealous

Others may not know Xia Ningxi's past, but Xia Luoluo knows it very well.

Although Xia Wanwan and Huo Nanxiao held a wedding ceremony, they were only "husband and wife" in name only. The only person who actually registered their marriage with Huo Nanxiao and lived with him was Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi stayed with Huo Nanxiao for two whole years!

Xia Luoluo was terrified that Huo Nanxiao would rekindle his old feelings for her.

Thinking of this, Xia Luoluo could not calm down. She clenched her fists with jealousy, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

Xia Ningxi's appearance amazed everyone.

Some wealthy families who originally planned to introduce their daughters to Huo Nanxiao couldn't help but take a few more glances at Xia Ningxi.

They were all wondering who this woman was!

Why is she qualified to stand next to Young Master Huo?

Is she the woman that Huo Shao has his eye on?

Those who wanted to seduce Huo Nanxiao, this perfect son-in-law, couldn't help but wonder, while the socialites and heiresses were green with envy.

Some wealthy young men, however, were attracted to Xia Ningxi and made no attempt to hide their liking for her, taking the initiative to come up and greet her.

"Miss, may I invite you to dance?" A refined-looking man stepped forward.

Huo Nanxiao said, "No."

The man adjusted his glasses: "Young Master Huo, I invited the lady next to you."

Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "Can't you understand human language?"

The man's expression was rather unpleasant.

Xia Ningxi didn't know where Huo Nanxiao's anger came from, and politely refused the man: "I'm sorry, I'm just Young Master Huo's private doctor, not a VIP, so I can't accept your invitation."

"Alright then." The man left, disappointed.

Xia Ningxi's words were overheard by many people.

They couldn't help but glance at Xia Ningxi a few more times.

"Just the Huo family's private doctor?"

"Impossible, right? Who would give such a precious starry sky dress to a mere private doctor?"

"I heard that she saved Young Master Huo's life. Perhaps that's why Young Master Huo treats her so well."

The crowd was skeptical.

If Xia Ningxi is truly just Huo Yuan's private doctor, then they have plenty of opportunities.

As a result, even more people came up to say hello.

Huo Nanxiao's expression grew increasingly grim.

Without waiting for Xia Ningxi's reply, he rudely rejected everyone who tried to chat him up, and finally, suppressing his anger, he grabbed Xia Ningxi's hand and dragged her to a less crowded area.

This action amused several friends who were far away.

Zhao Hanzhou nudged Fu Xiyu's shoulder and said, "What's wrong with Nan Xiao? This is the first time I've ever seen him jealous."

Fu Xiyu said, "Who knows?"

"You and Nan Xiao are such good friends, don't you know what's going on with Xia Ningxi?" Zhao Hanzhou asked in surprise.

Fu Xiyu said, "I'm not hanging around him every day, how could I possibly know anything about him?"

“Interesting, shall we go over and say hello?” Zhao Hanzhou suggested.

Although Fu Xiyu was reluctant, he still went with Zhao Hanzhou.

After greeting Huo Nanxiao, Zhao Hanzhou's gaze fell on Xia Ningxi: "Nanxiao, where did you find this doctor?"

“Imperial City Central Hospital,” Huo Nanxiao replied coldly.

Zhao Hanzhou said, "I know all the doctors at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, how come I've never seen her before?"

Xia Ningxi said, "I'm a newcomer. I just joined the company two months ago, so it's normal that you haven't met me before."

Zhao Hanzhou said, "I see. Is Miss Xia married?"

The moment he asked the question, Huo Nanxiao's aura changed.

Huo Nanxiao is angry!

Xia Ningxi didn't know where Huo Nanxiao got such a temper, so she ignored him and simply replied politely to Zhao Hanzhou, "I'm already married."

"Married? You don't look like it. Are you lying to me?" Zhao Hanzhou was very surprised.

Are you kidding me? Nan Xiao actually likes married young women?

Is he not sick?

Zhao Hanzhou was completely devastated.

Xia Ningxi said, "However, I'm already divorced."

Zhao Hanzhou's lips twitched violently, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "May I offer you a toast?"

“Okay.” Xia Ningxi replied very politely.

Huo Nanxiao was displeased and snatched the wine glass from Xia Ningxi's hand, drinking the red wine for her.

Zhao Hanzhou was very surprised: "Nan Xiao, what's going on?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "Doctors can't drink alcohol, so I'll drink this glass for her. Is there anything else?"

His tone was extremely cold, as if he wanted to kick Zhao Hanzhou out immediately.

Zhao Hanzhou said with a smile, "Miss Xia doesn't need to have surgery today, so having a drink won't be a problem."

Huo Nanxiao: "Since when did it become your place to decide what she does?"

Zhao Hanzhou was slightly taken aback; it was the first time he had ever seen Huo Nanxiao defend someone like this.

This Xia Ningxi is no ordinary person.

Zhao Hanzhou said to Fu Xiyu, "Old Fu, it seems you were right. This Miss Xia is really special. This is the first time I've seen Nan Xiao protect a woman like this."

Huo Nanxiao was displeased; "Shut your stinking mouth."

Zhao Hanzhou completely ignored Huo Nanxiao and said to Xia Ningxi with a smile, "Miss Xia, may I invite you to dance?"

"No." Huo Nanxiao refused outright.

Zhao Hanzhou said, "I invited Miss Xia, so what's the point of you answering me?"

"She's mine now," Huo Nanxiao said firmly.

Zhao Hanzhou said, "I'm not going to fight you for it."

He then very politely extended his hand to Xia Ningxi, making an inviting gesture.

Huo Nanxiao watched coldly, and Xia Ningxi didn't move.

Zhao Hanzhou said, "Nan Xiao, now everyone at the banquet thinks you're going to divorce Xia Wanwan for Xia Ningxi. It seems like it's true?"

Huo Nanxiao's face darkened.

Zhao Hanzhou continued, "This is the first time I've seen you protect a woman like this. If you say there's nothing between you two, who would believe you?"

Xia Ningxi took a deep breath and placed her hand on Zhao Hanzhou's palm: "I accept your invitation."

A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Hanzhou's eyes, and he smiled slightly, "Thank you for the honor, Miss Xia."

The two then went onto the dance floor together.

As soon as Xia Ningxi left, many young and beautiful girls came up to greet Huo Nanxiao, but Huo Nanxiao ignored them all. After Xia Ningxi and Zhao Hanzhou left, Huo Nanxiao's face turned cold, and his deep eyes stared intently at Xia Ningxi's back. He was so angry that his face turned green.

As a result, the girls who tried to chat him up didn't get a friendly response.

Xia Xingxing also noticed that Huo Nanxiao was unhappy. The little guy put his hands on his chin and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, Dr. Xia and Uncle Zhao are a perfect match."

"Not at all worthy." Huo Nanxiao sneered.

Xia Xingxing asked innocently, "Daddy, don't you think they're a perfect match? Dr. Xia is so beautiful, Uncle Zhao must like her."

Huo Nanxiao gripped the wine glass tightly.

Xia Xingxing said, "I also think they are a good match. Uncle Zhao is also handsome, and I like him very much."

Huo Nanxiao's face darkened instantly.
