Chapter 171 I'm Missing You

Could it be that Huo Nanxiao actually listened to "Huo Yuan"?

Fu Xiyu was still puzzled. He thought that someone as smart as Huo Nanxiao should know the seriousness of the matter. If Huo Nanxiao had any sense at all, he would not have agreed to "Huo Yuan's" request.

But the truth is, Huo Nanxiao actually did as Huo Yuan said!

Huo Nanxiao placed Xia Xingxing on a chair and turned to walk towards the dance floor.

Fu Xiyu's lips twitched violently, and his entire face turned black.

Xia Xingxing was very proud of himself. He sneered in his heart: You dare to sow discord between my daddy and mommy!

Xia Xingxing proudly held a glass of juice, her little feet swinging wildly.

Fu Xiyu stared blankly as he gulped down a glass of red wine.

Just then, the melodious music stopped, and the song came to an end.

During the two-minute break, the guests on the dance floor were getting ready, and some men had already found their dance partners and entered the dance floor.

Huo Nanxiao's appearance successfully attracted everyone's attention.

Especially those socialites and heiresses, when they saw Huo Nanxiao walking alone towards the dance floor, they knew that Huo Nanxiao definitely needed a dance partner.

Their eyes became fiery, and they began to pose seductively, playing with their beautiful long hair and showing off their graceful figures.

Several young and beautiful girls even went up to Huo Nanxiao to greet him.

When Fu Mingyan saw Huo Nanxiao walking towards them, she was so excited that she quickly walked towards him.

"Brother Nanxiao, may I dance with you?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes turned to Huo Nanxiao.

They all knew that the Fu family and the Huo family were old friends, and Fu Mingyan and Huo Nanxiao had grown up together since childhood.

Many people were extremely jealous when they saw that Fu Mingyan had gotten there first.

Xia Luoluo stood to the side, clenching her fists tightly, without saying a word.

Zhang Lina was furious: "This Fu Mingyan is shameless. She was just humiliated by Young Master Huo, and now she has the audacity to ask him to dance. Does she even deserve it?"

Xia Luoluo forced a smile: "They've known each other since they were little, and it's none of anyone else's business."

Zhang Lina said, "You have worked so hard to raise Huo Yuan for the Huo family for so many years, but Huo Shao doesn't care about your past relationship at all. It's heartbreaking."

"It's all what I should do. Who told me to be Huo Yuan's aunt?" Xia Luoluo said self-deprecatingly.

Zhang Lina said, "We can't let Fu Mingyan get away with it."

Duan Rongrong said, "Fu Mingyan is the eldest daughter of the Fu family, and she is a good match for the Huo family. Even if Young Master Huo wants to remarry, he will definitely consider a child from the Fu family first. What's there to be jealous about?"

Zhang Lina said, "So what if we're family friends? Huo Shao still married Xia Wanwan. If you want to be Huo Yuan's stepmother, you'll have to see if my Luo Luo agrees!"

Duan Rongrong sneered: "Heh, Miss Xia has been here for so long, but Young Master Huo hasn't even glanced at her."

Zhang Lina said angrily, "Duan Rongrong, you've gone too far!"

Duan Rongrong said, "Am I wrong? The Xia family isn't even a top-tier wealthy family in the capital. I don't know where they got the nerve to seduce Young Master Huo."

Zhang Lina said, "What's it to you? Does it bother you?"

Duan Rongrong said, "Even if Young Master Huo doesn't like Fu Mingyan, it's not your turn."

Xia Luoluo clenched her fists!

If it were when the Xia family was in power, these women would never have dared to talk nonsense in front of Xia Luoluo.

They all treated Xia Luoluo with utmost respect.

Now that the Xia family has fallen on hard times, they can't help but want to kick them while they're down.

Xia Luoluo was furious, but had nowhere to vent her anger. She could only force down her anger and force a smile: "Miss Duan, don't worry. Young Master Huo only has eyes for my sister. Even if you stay here until you die, you will never become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family."

“You—” Duan Rongrong glared at her.

Xia Luoluo immediately shifted her gaze away from Duan Rongrong, only to see Huo Nanxiao reject Fu Mingyan and then walk straight towards Xia Ningxi.

Xia Luoluo's eyes widened.

The people around him were all staring intently at Huo Nanxiao; they didn't even dare to imagine it!

"What is Young Master Huo trying to do? Is he going to invite Xia Ningxi to dance?"

"Impossible! She doesn't even deserve it!"

Everyone was watching Huo Nanxiao's every move.

Those who were planning to approach Huo Nanxiao were particularly shocked. They didn't believe that Huo Nanxiao's target was Xia Ningxi and were hoping that Huo Nanxiao was just passing by.

To everyone's astonishment, Huo Nanxiao walked past the crowd, went straight to Xia Ningxi, and invited her to dance.

This was something Huo Nanxiao had promised Xia Xingxing, so he kept his word.

But the people around them didn't think so.

Xia Ningxi was also shocked. She looked at the handsome man in front of her with a complicated expression. His cold eyes were devoid of warmth as he stared at Xia Ningxi, making her wonder if she had done something wrong.

After a two-second pause in surprise, she asked curiously, "What are you doing here?"

“I’m missing a female companion,” Huo Nanxiao said.

Xia Ningxi's lips twitched violently. So Huo Nanxiao was planning to invite her to dance?

Are you kidding me?!

Xia Ningxi quickly looked around, and just as she had guessed, countless fierce gazes were now being cast at her. All the socialites and heiresses in the entire imperial city regarded Xia Ningxi as a thorn in their side.

Xia Ningxi's face darkened; Huo Nanxiao really knew how to cause her trouble.

She doesn't want to become public enemy number one!

"You can go find someone else," Xia Ningxi politely declined.

Huo Nanxiao frowned.

Zhao Hanzhou, who was standing next to him, was completely stunned. He had never seen a woman reject Huo Nanxiao so decisively in his life!

Does Xia Ningxi have absolutely no sense of propriety? Can't she see how many women in the entire venue are eyeing Huo Nanxiao? She actually pushed Huo Nanxiao out of the room!

Zhao Hanzhou couldn't help but glance at Xia Ningxi a couple more times.

Huo Nanxiao was also angered by Xia Ningxi's words. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and slowly uttered a sentence from his thin, cold lips: "Say it again."

Xia Ningxi knew Huo Nanxiao was angry. She gritted her teeth and finally accepted Huo Nanxiao's invitation, placing her hand in his palm.

Xia Luoluo, who was outside the dance floor, was so angry when she saw this scene that her face turned green!

She opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

Zhang Lina even cursed, "How could Young Master Huo dance with this bitch?"

"Is Young Master Huo blind?" Duan Rongrong glared at Xia Luoluo and asked, "Didn't you just say that Young Master Huo only has eyes for your sister?"

Xia Luoluo's face was pale and her whole body was trembling. How could she know why Huo Nanxiao would do this!

Isn't Huo Nanxiao the one who hates Xia Ningxi the most?
