Chapter 281 Truly Protective of His Own

Huo Nanxiao was so angry with the butler that his face darkened.

Should he go and coax Xia Ningxi?

Are you kidding me!

How could he possibly try to win over that woman!

Huo Nanxiao went to the company with a belly full of anger, which terrified the company's senior management. In the meeting, they were all scolded by Huo Nanxiao and were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

Some senior officials even thought Huo Nanxiao had lost his mind, and when the meeting ended and Huo Nanxiao left in anger, they all asked Ye Su about it.

"What's wrong with the CEO today?"

"I've never seen the CEO so angry."

"What happened?"

"Who would dare to anger the CEO?"

Faced with everyone's questions, Ye Su was also at a loss. How could she know why the president was so angry today? He was already like this as soon as he arrived at the company.

Everyone knew that Huo Nanxiao was in a bad mood, so no one dared to approach him and they all kept their distance.

However, when Fu Xiyu was leaving get off work at noon, he passed by Yunting Group, came up to meet Huo Nanxiao, and suggested that they go to Ninghai Hospital together.

Huo Nanxiao refused outright: "I'm not going."

Fu Xiyu was surprised: "You have something to do at noon?"

Huo Nanxiao: "No."

Fu Xiyu was even more puzzled. He walked to the opposite side of Huo Nanxiao and sat down: "Who made you so angry?"

Huo Nanxiao said impatiently, "Just say what you want to say. I don't have time for you right now."

"Tsk, looks like he's really angry." Fu Xiyu asked curiously, "Who has the ability to make you this angry?"

If Fu Xiyu hadn't asked, things would have been fine, but as soon as he said it, Huo Nanxiao's gaze towards him changed: "If you have nothing else to say, then get lost."

Fu Xiyu remained calm and composed, instead asking curiously, "It can't be that woman named Xia Ningxi, can it?"

Huo Nanxiao remained silent.

Fu Xiyu asked, "Is it really her?"

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Huo Nanxiao asked unhappily.

Fu Xiyu said, "I'm free at noon."

Huo Nanxiao suddenly stood up and strode towards the door with his long legs.

Fu Xiyu said, "Helian Jue arrived in the capital this afternoon and invited everyone out for dinner tonight. It's been a long time since you've come out and gotten together with everyone."

Huo Nanxiao stopped in his tracks: "Location."

Fu Xiyu took out his phone and sent him a location: "I sent it to your phone. I heard he brought a girlfriend back. She's pretty timid. Tell all the brothers to bring their families over, preferably girls, so they can chat with his girlfriend. Luckily, Xia Ningxi recently moved into your house. You can bring her out. The brothers are quite curious about her background."

Huo Nanxiao ignored Fu Xiyu and left the office directly.

Huo Nanxiao felt uneasy thinking about his two sons being taken to work by Xia Ningxi.

We drove to the research center.

When the head of the research institute learned that Huo Nanxiao had arrived, he immediately went out to greet him, not daring to be negligent in the slightest. After all, Huo Nanxiao was their biggest sponsor, and even if he were to be negligent, no one else would dare to be.

Upon learning that Huo Nanxiao's purpose was to find Xia Ningxi, the person in charge said, "Xia Ningxi took half a day off and has already gone back."

After leaving the research center, Huo Nanxiao dialed Xia Ningxi's number.

Xia Ningxi asked impatiently, "What do you want?"

"Where did you take the child?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi said, "I'm home."

Huo Nanxiao's cold expression softened slightly.

The next second, Xia Ningxi added, "Go back to my home."

Huo Nanxiao said sternly, "What are you doing bringing the child to your house?"

“They all don’t want to go back to your house, so I can only bring them back to my house. If you don’t believe me, you can come and see for yourself,” Xia Ningxi said.

Huo Nanxiao didn't believe it and drove to the Drunken Courtyard.

Before the car had even come to a complete stop, the two sons noticed Huo Nanxiao's arrival and ran straight into the room to hide, locking the door from the inside.

This action infuriated Huo Nanxiao, making his face turn dark.

Xia Ningxi innocently distanced herself from the situation, saying, "I didn't teach him that. You saw it yourself, the child doesn't want to go home with you."

Xia Ningxi knew that what Huo Nanxiao disliked most was her monopolizing the two children, so Xia Ningxi simply ignored it and let Huo Nanxiao negotiate with the children himself.

If he had the ability to make both of his sons listen to him and follow him, Xia Ningxi would definitely not stop him.

But if Huo Nanxiao doesn't have that ability, then Xia Ningxi can't be blamed.

As for Huo Yuan and Xia Xingxing, even though they both knew Huo Nanxiao had arrived, neither of them was willing to come out and meet him.

Huo Nanxiao knew that the two little ones were still angry, so he sat down opposite Xia Ningxi and said, "I didn't come here just to see them."

Xia Ningxi was somewhat surprised: "What is that?"

“I have an important gathering tonight and I need to bring my family. You’ll come with me,” Huo Nanxiao said.

Xia Ningxi's lips twitched violently. Bring family members? Huo Nanxiao wanted to take her? Are you kidding me?

“I am your ex-wife,” Xia Ningxi reminded her.

Huo Nanxiao: "After the party, the two children can stay here for one night. If you refuse, I will tear down the door and take them away."

A vein bulged on Xia Ningxi's forehead, and she almost couldn't help but clench her fist.

Is he a demon?

How could you say something like that? Aren't you worried about scaring the two children?

Xia Ningxi couldn't help but swear.

Huo Nanxiao raised his eyebrows in displeasure and looked at her with a very dangerous gaze.

Xia Ningxi gritted her teeth and decided to go with him.

It was just a small gathering, and it would be over soon. As long as my two sons could stay overnight at my house, it was all worth it.

After changing into the dress Huo Nanxiao had brought, Xia Ningxi did some simple makeup and got into his car.

Originally, they thought Huo Nanxiao was meeting an important client, but when they arrived at the agreed-upon hotel, they discovered that the person who had arrived was actually a well-known and wealthy young master from the capital city.

The eldest sons of the five most powerful families were all gathered there.

When Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao entered the private room, they instantly became the focus of everyone's attention. Countless eyes were fixed on Xia Ningxi, some with surprise, some with curiosity, and some with an inexplicable sense of disgust...

Xia Ningxi was surprised. She wasn't familiar with this group of people, so why would anyone hate her?

Out of politeness, Xia Ningxi, who was standing next to Huo Nanxiao, greeted everyone and then pulled out a chair to sit down.

Ji Feibai, who was standing next to her, immediately came over and asked with a smile, "You are Xia Ningxi?"

Xia Ningxi nodded: "It's me."

Ji Feibai asked curiously, "I heard you've already moved into Nan Xiao's house."

Xia Ningxi frowned. Why was this person so concerned about her private affairs?

She looked at Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao directly rebuked Ji Feibai: "Shut your mouth."

Ji Feibai laughed and said, "Tsk tsk, you're really protective of your own. You're living together and you don't want people to talk about it? The whole capital city knows about this."
