Chapter 186 The Wild Man's Seed

Duan Rongrong was saddened that Huo Yuan would reject her so directly, and she looked at Huo Nanxiao with resentment.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I'm not familiar with you."

Those five simple words shattered all of Duan Rongrong's illusions.

Zhang Lina, who was watching the show from a distance, sneered: "Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror to see what kind of person you are? Do you really think that Young Master Huo can look at just anyone?"

Duan Rongrong's face darkened, and she turned around to glare fiercely at Zhang Lina.

Zhang Lina crossed her arms and adopted a very arrogant attitude.

Duan Rongrong was very angry, but also felt extremely embarrassed. She didn't dare to say anything, her face flushed, and she stormed off.

Almost everyone had left, so there was no need for Zhang Lina to stay any longer. But before leaving, she glared fiercely at Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi wasn't surprised; she knew Zhang Lina and Xia Luoluo had a very good relationship, so it was normal for Zhang Lina to be hostile towards her.

Xia Ningxi ignored Zhang Lina; her phone kept ringing—it was a call from home.

Xia Ningxi took her phone and walked to a corner to answer the call.

"Mommy, Mommy, when are you coming back? It's already 10:30." Xia Chuchu asked in her childish voice.

Xia Ningxi said, "Chuchu, be good. Mommy isn't finished with work here yet."

"But Chu Chu can't sleep," Xia Chu Chu said, feeling wronged.

Xia Ningxi comforted her, "Why can't you sleep?"

"Brother Huo Yuan is afraid of the dark and keeps crying, so I can't sleep," Xia Chuchu complained.

Xia Ningxi then remembered that Huo Yuan was very afraid of the dark.

Normally things are fine at the Huo family home, where Huo Nanxiao sleeps with Huo Yuan almost every day. But now that Huo Yuan is living in his own home, without Huo Nanxiao by his side, he must feel very insecure.

Thinking of the little guy curled up in the corner, sobbing with grievance, Xia Ningxi felt sorry for him. She said, "You stay with him for now. Mommy will come back to be with you in a little while."

"Okay, I love Mommy. Be careful on the road, Mommy," Xia Chuchu said obediently.

A hint of tenderness appeared in Xia Ningxi's eyes.

Whose call was it?

Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi was startled and quickly hid her phone behind her back.

"Mommy? Mommy? Who's talking to you?" Xia Chuchu's childish voice came from inside.

Xia Ningxi realized that she had accidentally touched the speakerphone, and her expression changed instantly. She quickly hung up the phone.

But Huo Nanxiao heard Xia Chuchu's words clearly just now.

It was a little girl's voice.

Is that the little girl I saw at Xia Ningxi's house that day?

Xia Ningxi's daughter with that stranger abroad.

Thinking of this, Huo Nanxiao's aura changed. He became extremely cold, and his cold and sharp eyes were devoid of any warmth.

"Go pack your things and come back to the Huo family with me." Huo Nanxiao's voice was icy.

Xia Ningxi said, "I'm not going back with you, I want to go home."

"Now that you're home, who will take care of the child?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi said, "Isn't there you? Can't you take care of him?"

“I don’t have time. You are the child’s mother, and it is your responsibility to stay and take care of him,” Huo Nanxiao said.

Xia Ningxi frowned. Xia Xingxing was very brave. Even if Xia Ningxi wasn't around, he would dare to sleep alone. But Huo Yuan was different.

Huo Nanxiao was unaware that the person beside him was Xia Xingxing, not Huo Yuan, and even less aware that Huo Yuan was crying at home in fear.

Xia Ningxi was anxious and didn't have time to argue with Huo Nanxiao. She said firmly, "I have to go back tonight. If you don't have time to take care of the child, let him sleep by himself tonight. He's grown up now, he can sleep on his own."

"Xia Ningxi, are you even speaking human language? You clearly know that A Yuan is most afraid of the dark, yet you still make him sleep alone?" Huo Nanxiao was extremely angry.

Xia Xingxing, sandwiched between the two, looked at Xia Ningxi and then at Huo Nanxiao, as if to say: Bad Daddy, I'm not Huo Yuan, I'm not afraid of the dark at all.

But Xia Xingxing didn't dare say those words.

However, Xia Xingxing knew it must be his younger sister Chu Chu calling. He said, "Daddy, let Dr. Xia go back. I can manage on my own. Don't worry about me."

"What can you do?" Huo Nanxiao asked sharply.

Xia Xingxing said, "I can sleep by myself, so let Dr. Xia go back."

Huo Nanxiao's deep eyes were devoid of any warmth.

Xia Ningxi said, "The child has already said that he doesn't need me, so there's no need for me to stay. I can go back by myself, so you don't need to take me."

"You're in such a hurry to go back just to take care of the daughter you had with that other man?" Huo Nanxiao sneered.

Xia Ningxi stopped in her tracks, her hand clenched tightly beside her. "Yes."

"She's more important than A Yuan?" Huo Nanxiao suppressed his anger.

Xia Ningxi said, "No matter what you say, I have to go back tonight."

"Xia Ningxi, do you even care about our child? Is your daughter with that other man more important, or Huo Yuan? You know he's terrified of the dark, yet you don't stay to take care of him. What is he supposed to do?" Huo Nanxiao asked angrily.

Xia Ningxi looked at Xia Xingxing, who was blinking his big eyes, and said, "He can sleep by himself."

Huo Nanxiao was furious.

Xia Ningxi ignored Huo Nanxiao, quickly went upstairs, changed her clothes, grabbed all her things and rushed downstairs. Without even glancing at Huo Nanxiao, she hurried towards the door.

Huo Nanxiao was furious.

"That damned woman!"

He didn't expect Xia Ningxi to leave so decisively. Could it be that in Xia Ningxi's heart, Huo Yuan was not as important as the child of that wild man she had abroad?

Huo Nanxiao roared with a dark face, "Xia Ningxi, if you dare to leave tonight, don't even think about seeing your son again."

Xia Ningxi stopped in her tracks, frowning. "Huo Nanxiao, aren't you being childish?"

"Whether you stay to take care of Huo Yuan or go back to take care of that bastard's child, the choice is yours," Huo Nanxiao said angrily.

Xia Ningxi thought Huo Nanxiao was crazy. All three children were Huo Nanxiao's, so how was she supposed to choose?

Xia Xingxing is the bravest of the three children, and there is no danger for her to be with Huo Nanxiao at this time. However, Huo Yuan was abused since childhood and is the most timid, so he needs Chu Chu to protect him. Xia Ningxi is most worried about Huo Yuan at home.

She knew she wouldn't get anywhere arguing with Huo Nanxiao.

"Do whatever you want."

Leaving behind a message, Xia Ningxi hurriedly hailed a taxi and left without looking back.

The veins on Huo Nanxiao's forehead bulged; he was furious.

Xia Xingxing could feel Huo Nanxiao's fury, which could tear a person apart alive, even from the side. He trembled a couple of times and whispered, "Daddy, don't be angry. If Dr. Xia wants to leave, let her go."

"You're still defending her? She only cares about that daughter she had with that other man, she doesn't care about you at all." Huo Nanxiao was very angry.
