Chapter 222 He Can Still Take My Life

"Why did you come out?" Xia Ningxi asked.

Huo Nanxiao said nothing, but simply pushed Xia Ningxi behind him.

As for Xia Luoluo, who was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, she was unable to move because Huo Nanxiao was holding her wrist. She was a little flustered and immediately put on a worried smile: "Young Master Huo, you're out."

Huo Nanxiao asked, "What do you want to do?"

Xia Luoluo realized that her hand was still raised in mid-air and subconsciously tried to pull it back, but failed.

Seeing the obvious killing intent in Huo Nanxiao's eyes, Xia Luoluo quickly explained, "I didn't mean to do anything, Xia Ningxi is just talking nonsense."

"I think you're the one talking nonsense. When did I ever say I wanted to see you?" Huo Nanxiao questioned.

Xia Luoluo's face turned pale: "Young Master Huo, I just..."

"Go back to where you came from."

Huo Nanxiao didn't give Xia Luoluo a chance to explain, and unceremoniously shook off her hand.

Xia Luoluo staggered back two steps, almost falling to the ground. Her face was deathly pale, and she bit her lip in grievance, tears welling up in her eyes, almost bursting into tears.

The surrounding reporters all turned to look at Xia Luoluo.

"Tsk, I thought Miss Xia and Young Master Huo had some unknown relationship. It seems I was overthinking it."

"Young Master Huo doesn't even look at her."

"Then what is she doing here? Doesn't she feel ashamed?"

Everyone chimed in with their own harsh words.

Xia Luoluo never expected things to turn out this way, and she felt very wronged.

But since Huo Nanxiao had already said that, Xia Luoluo couldn't very well stay any longer. She glanced around and realized that no one wanted to keep her there, especially the group of reporters she had brought...

Xia Luoluo originally wanted them to interview her and Huo Nanxiao and write a report about them, but they all ended up going to Xia Ningxi instead.

They all stared at Xia Ningxi, their eyes practically glowing.

Xia Luoluo felt extremely aggrieved, never expecting that all her hard work would ultimately benefit Xia Ningxi.

Huo Nanxiao originally had no intention of having anything with Xia Ningxi, but now that a group of reporters caught the two of them in a hotel room, Huo Nanxiao has no choice but to give Xia Ningxi a title even if he doesn't want to.

hateful!

Xia Luoluo was so angry that she trembled all over.

At this moment, the reporters saw Huo Nanxiao come out and began to ask him questions.

"Young Master Huo, what is your relationship with Xia Ningxi?"

Are you two already together?

"I heard that you haven't registered your marriage with Xia Wanwan yet, does that mean you're going to marry Xia Ningxi?"

"Could she become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family?"

The reporters kept pressing for answers, one after another.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Yunting Group will hold a press conference tomorrow, and I will answer all your questions then."

"So, does Young Master Huo have anything to say about tonight's events? Did you two go to a hotel late at night voluntarily?" another fearless reporter continued to press.

Huo Nanxiao glanced at Xia Ningxi beside him.

Xia Ningxi blinked her beautiful big eyes, not intending to explain.

Huo Nanxiao, with a cold expression, asked the reporter, "Is there a problem?"

The reporter was completely dumbfounded by the question.

"Does Mr. Huo mean he's acknowledging your relationship?" the reporter asked excitedly.

Huo Nanxiao held Xia Ningxi's hand, saying nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything.

Everyone immediately understood what was going on when they saw this subtle action.

They didn't dare to press the matter further.

The reporters looked at each other, none of them daring to utter a sound.

As for Han Youling, she was shocked to see Huo Nanxiao standing unharmed in front of everyone.

"Miss, isn't Young Master Huo already..." The subordinate beside him lowered his voice.

Han Youling was also puzzled. Huo Nanxiao had clearly been drugged, and it was impossible for him to regain consciousness within twelve hours. What was going on?

Could it be that the medicine is no longer effective?

That's impossible.

They spent a lot of money on that; it's impossible for it not to be effective.

What exactly went wrong...?

Han Youling was completely baffled.

Noticing a sharp gaze directed at her, Han Youling's expression immediately changed. She didn't dare to look at Huo Nanxiao and hurriedly left with her subordinates.

Huo Nanxiao concealed the cold glint in his eyes and had Lu Qi escort the reporter out.

Lu Qi nodded, then directly stopped the reporters who still wanted to ask Huo Nanxiao questions and forcibly sent them away.

The surroundings finally calmed down.

Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief.

She said, "Since you're alright, I'll be going now."

"Stop." Huo Nanxiao called out to Xia Ningxi, asking, "Where are you going?"

Xia Ningxi said, "Go home."

Huo Nanxiao said, "I'll take you home later."

Xia Ningxi glanced at Huo Nanxiao's current condition and said, "You should go to the hospital to get checked out. I can take a taxi home by myself."

"I told you, I'll take you back. Can't you understand human language?" Huo Nanxiao repeated once again.

Xia Ningxi got angry: "How can you be so unreasonable? If I hadn't saved you, you would already be trapped in someone's trap."

Huo Nanxiao remained silent.

But he didn't let Xia Ningxi leave either.

He told Xia Ningxi to wait obediently in the room, and then he went out.

Xia Ningxi didn't know what Huo Nanxiao had gone to do. She only knew that when Huo Nanxiao came back, his hands were swollen and bleeding. However, the blood was obviously not Huo Nanxiao's. He had probably gone to beat someone up, and this blood was probably from the person who was beaten up.

They were pretty ruthless.

Huo Nanxiao went into the bathroom to wash his hands, tidied his disheveled clothes a little, and then slowly said, "You can go back now."

Lu Qi drove us back.

Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi sat in the back seat.

Xia Ningxi deliberately sat on the far side, keeping a great distance between them.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Why are you hiding so far away?"

“I like sitting by the window and looking at the scenery,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Huo Nanxiao asked, "Why did you come looking for me?"

"I……"

Xia Ningxi was stumped by the question.

Huo Nanxiao's gaze sharpened, and he asked very seriously, "Why did you come to find me?"

“I’m worried you’re in danger,” Xia Ningxi answered truthfully.

A hint of surprise flashed in Huo Nanxiao's eyes. He said in a deep voice, "If something like this happens again, don't come looking for me."

Xia Ningxi frowned: "What do you mean?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "I have a grudge against the Han family, and Han Musen even served three years in prison because of me. If you get involved with me, he will definitely come after you, which is not a good thing for you."

Xia Ningxi said, "This is a society governed by the rule of law. He can't possibly kill me, can he?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "Wanwan had an accident at Ninghai Hospital before, and she almost lost her life. He was the one who did it."

"Are you worried about me?" Xia Ningxi couldn't help but ask.

Huo Nanxiao did not answer.

A long silence fell over the car.

Xia Ningxi regretted asking the question as soon as it left her mouth. She felt like she was crazy. How could Huo Nanxiao be worried about her? The only person Huo Nanxiao was ever worried about was Xia Wanwan.

Xia Ningxi turned to look out the window and whispered, "I will never come looking for you again."
