Chapter 210 Me or Your Daddy, Choose One

Huo Nanxiao was very surprised.

What is Xia Ningxi really thinking?

Since you had a daughter with him, you should at least let her know that her father exists.

Could it be that Xia Ningxi and her husband have a bad relationship? Is that why Xia Ningxi doesn't want Xia Chuchu to know that he's still alive?

Huo Nanxiao knew very well that the wild man was still alive.

But judging from Xia Chuchu's appearance, it seemed that she had no idea at all.

Xia Chuchu glared at Huo Nanxiao warily, and said in a cute but fierce tone, "Why are you asking so many questions? Don't think that just because my daddy is dead, I'll give you Huo Yuan. Forget about it."

Huo Nanxiao was amused by the little guy's arrogant tone. He didn't know where Xia Chuchu got the courage to say such a thing.

"Huo Yuan is my son. I can take Huo Yuan with me if I want, and it's none of your business," Huo Nanxiao said with interest.

Xia Chuchu's face puffed up with anger: "You dare!"

Huo Nanxiao smiled slightly, ignored Xia Chuchu, and went directly to knock on Huo Yuan's door.

Huo Yuan came out of the room shortly afterward.

He had just finished showering, his body was soaking wet, and his face was filled with fear. It seemed that Xia Ningxi had pushed him out in a hurry.

Xia Chuchu recognized at a glance that the little boy in front of her was not Xia Xingxing, but Huo Yuan. She immediately rushed in front of Huo Yuan, opened her arms, and stood in front of Huo Nanxiao.

"Brother Huo Yuan is mine! I won't let you take him away." Xia Chuchu was like a little wildcat with its claws outstretched.

Huo Nanxiao ignored Xia Chuchu and focused his deep gaze on Huo Yuan: "Daddy is late. Come home with Daddy."

"No," Xia Chuchu said in her childish voice.

Huo Nanxiao ignored Xia Chuchu and said directly to Huo Yuan, "Pack your things and come home with Daddy."

Xia Chuchu said, "Brother Huo Yuan, you can only choose one: me or your daddy."

Huo Nanxiao laughed: "He's my son, why would I choose you?"

Xia Chuchu said, "Brother Huo Yuan, do you want to go home with your daddy, or stay here with me? You choose one."

Huo Yuan said, "This..."

"What? Brother Huo Yuan, do you even need to think about it? Are Mommy and I not as good as your daddy? He looks like a big bad guy, and he's not sincere towards you. Otherwise, why would he come to pick you up so late? I think he doesn't care about you at all. Unlike my mommy, who is so good to you."

As Xia Chuchu said this, she didn't forget to roll her eyes at Huo Nanxiao.

“Your daddy is different. He only has eyes for that woman named Xia Wanwan and doesn’t care about you at all.”

Hearing these words, Huo Yuan looked at Huo Nanxiao with a wronged expression.

Huo Nanxiao hadn't expected that Xia Chuchu, a young girl, would be so good at stirring up trouble.

As expected of Xia Ningxi's daughter, she's so resourceful at such a young age.

Huo Nanxiao frowned and asked Huo Yuan, "Are you going home with Daddy, or are you staying here?"

Huo Yuan asked, "Daddy, are you really letting me choose?"

"You choose," Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice.

Huo Yuan said, "Can I stay and stay with Chu Chu? I don't want to go home with Daddy."

Huo Nanxiao's cold face was expressionless, but if you looked closely, you could tell he was very angry.

The surrounding temperature dropped by more than ten degrees in an instant.

Huo Nanxiao said expressionlessly, "Say it again."

Xia Chuchu raised her chin haughtily and shouted fiercely, "Why are you yelling at Brother Huo Yuan? He already said he doesn't want to go home with you. He wants to stay here. Can't you understand human language?"

"Huo Yuan!" Huo Nanxiao said with a gloomy face.

Huo Yuan said, "I want to be with my little sister Chu Chu, I don't want to go home with Daddy."

After saying this, Huo Yuan couldn't help but steal a glance at Huo Nanxiao. He knew Huo Nanxiao was angry, so he nervously clenched his little hands and asked cautiously, "Daddy, is it okay?"

"What if I say no?" Huo Nanxiao countered.

Huo Yuan lowered his head and said, "Then I'll go back with Daddy."

She looked so wronged, she almost cried.

Huo Nanxiao had never seen his precious son like this before. He was furious, but he couldn't do anything about Huo Yuan.

Knowing that the little guy didn't want to go with him, he called Xia Ningxi out.

Xia Ningxi told Xia Xingxing to stay in the room and not go out, and also instructed Xia Chuchu to keep an eye on Huo Yuan.

Xia Chuchu quickly pulled Huo Yuan back to her room and slammed the door shut. A moment later, Huo Nanxiao heard the sound of the door being locked from the inside. This little guy had actually locked the door from the inside.

Huo Nanxiao's aura turned several degrees colder.

He turned and went downstairs.

Xia Ningxi followed her up.

"Something happened at Ninghai Hospital today, so I didn't have time to pick up the child," Huo Nanxiao said.

Xia Ningxi said, "If you don't have time to take care of the child, you can leave Huo Yuan with me to raise him."

"No," Huo Nanxiao refused.

Xia Ningxi said, "I can take good care of him."

Huo Nanxiao said, "I might be in some trouble recently, and it's not safe for Huo Yuan to be by your side."

"What's the trouble?" Xia Ningxi asked.

Huo Nanxiao said, "You don't need to know."

Xia Ningxi lowered her eyes: "Has something happened to Xia Wanwan?"

Huo Nanxiao remained silent, and the silence made the surroundings feel exceptionally cold and desolate.

Xia Ningxi gave a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I was rude. I shouldn't have brought her up."

Huo Nanxiao said, "She had an accident and her physical condition was very poor. If she hadn't been discovered early today, she would have died. Fortunately, she was rescued in time."

"Oh," Xia Ningxi said softly, and then fell silent.

Huo Nanxiao's cold gaze fell on Xia Ningxi: "Why are you so concerned about her?"

“If you want to take good care of Xia Wanwan, you can leave the child with me. My workplace is very safe, and even if you leave the child at home, my brother will watch over him, so nothing will happen,” Xia Ningxi said.

Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly: "If I leave the child with you again, will he still recognize me?"

Xia Ningxi said, "You are Huo Yuan's biological father after all. Even if he doesn't acknowledge his own biological mother, he won't disown you."

Huo Nanxiao suddenly fell silent.

His sharp gaze fell on Xia Ningxi, scrutinizing her from head to toe. After a long while, he finally said, "If that's what you think, you wouldn't have taught your daughter to say such things. Huo Yuan is my son. Don't let your daughter try to claim kinship with my son. I will absolutely not allow Huo Yuan to recognize her as his sister."

Huo Nanxiao regarded Xia Chuchu as Xia Ningxi's daughter with her husband abroad, so naturally he couldn't feel any affection for Xia Chuchu.

Xia Ningxi offered no explanation, her smile remaining forced and insincere.

Huo Nanxiao couldn't force Huo Yuan to leave, so he said, "Let the child stay here with you tonight. I'll come pick him up tomorrow morning. You don't need to take care of the child these days; I'll arrange for him to stay."

"Are you not going to let me take care of Huo Yuan?" Xia Ningxi asked.

Huo Nanxiao said, "It's not safe for him to stay by your side."

Xia Ningxi remained silent.

She knew this was just Huo Nanxiao's excuse.
