Chapter 285 Huo Nanxiao, What About Me?

"I don't want to," Huo Yuan said, mustering his courage.

Xia Luoluo asked, "A Yuan, don't you want your mommy anymore?"

“She’s not my mommy,” Huo Yuan said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fenglin immediately became angry: "What nonsense are you spouting, child? Xia Wanwan is your mother."

Xia Luoluo was also very angry: "A Yuan, did Xia Ningxi say something to you? She's not a good person. Your mother's illness is all Xia Ningxi's fault."

"You're talking nonsense." Huo Yuan's small fists were clenched tightly; no one knew how much courage it took for him to say those words!

He had lived under Xia Luoluo's control since childhood. Even when he was locked in a dark room or beaten, Huo Yuan dared not utter a sound or refute. But he could not accept others slandering Xia Ningxi.

No one can slander Xia Ningxi.

Because Xia Ningxi is his mother, the kindest person in the world.

Huo Yuan was so angry that he trembled all over.

Xia Luoluo sneered inwardly and said to Huo Nanxiao, "Young Master Huo, what exactly does Xia Ningxi want? A Yuan would never have said such things before. Has Young Master Huo forgotten why my sister became like this? It's all Xia Ningxi's fault. If it weren't for her, how could my sister have been lying in a hospital bed for so many years? Did she come back just to steal Huo Yuan from my sister?"

Huo Nanxiao frowned and had Lu Qi lead Huo Yuan out of the ward.

Lu Qi realized something was wrong and immediately stepped forward: "Young Master, let's go out first."

Huo Yuan broke free from Lu Qi's hand and asked, "Didn't Auntie say that Wanwan's mommy suffered a massive hemorrhage during my birth, which is why she turned out like this? What does that have to do with Xia Ningxi?"

Xia Luoluo said, "Because Xia Ningxi is a murderer."

"Impossible." Huo Yuan was so angry that tears almost welled up in his eyes.

Lu Qi didn't dare let Huo Yuan stay here any longer, and quickly took Huo Yuan away.

Huo Yuan was furious and burst into tears, feeling wronged.

Lu Qi quickly comforted him, "Young Master, please don't cry."

"Auntie is lying, Mommy is a good person." Huo Yuan's tears fell down his face.

Lu Qi didn't know how to comfort her, because Xia Ningxi was indeed involved in Xia Wanwan's condition.

Everyone knows that Xia Ningxi was the one who harmed Xia Wanwan.

Lu Qi had no way to defend himself.

In the ward, Xia Luoluo suppressed her anger and asked Huo Nanxiao, "Young Master Huo, what exactly is Xia Ningxi'an thinking? She harmed my sister like this, and not only does she not feel any remorse, but she even tries to steal Huo Yuan. If she hadn't harmed my sister back then, how could she have become like this!"

Huo Nanxiao said unhappily, "I will handle Xia Ningxi's matter myself. You just need to take good care of Wanwan."

Xia Luoluo said, "If my sister knew that A Yuan was taken away by Xia Ningxi, she would be very sad. What right does Xia Ningxi have? Has Young Master Huo forgotten that my sister saved you back then? How can Xia Ningxi, a murderer, stand in front of my sister and compete with her for Huo Yuan! If this continues, will she also take you away from my sister?"

"My poor sister was so devoted to you, she almost lost her life for you. Xia Ningxi has been hiding outside for so many years, and the first thing she did when she came back was to steal Huo Yuan. I don't know what other heinous things she will do in the future. If she can hurt my sister once, she is very likely to hurt her a second time."

Xia Luoluo angrily accused Xia Ningxi of wrongdoing.

In her eyes, Xia Ningxi was a murderer who attempted to kill someone.

Xia Ningxi should be punished; she should disappear from this world completely.

However, Xia Ningxi not only did not disappear, but also appeared here, competing with Xia Wanwan for Huo Yuan.

If Xia Ningxi can do something like snatching a child today, will she try to snatch Huo Nanxiao away tomorrow?

Charlotte was very angry.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Tang En was invited by Xia Ningxi, and she will not harm Xia Wanwan this time."

Xia Luoluo said, "Not necessarily. She definitely wants to continue being the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, but Young Master Huo, you promised to marry my sister."

...

Huo Yuan's sobs echoed outside the door.

At that moment, Xia Ningxi was sitting in Tang En's office. When she heard the crying, she immediately came out and discovered that the person crying was Huo Yuan.

"A-Yuan, why are you crying? Who bullied you?" Xia Ningxi asked.

Huo Yuan burst into tears and threw himself into Xia Ningxi's arms, saying pitifully, "Mommy, Auntie said you're a bad person, but I don't believe it."

"What did Xia Luoluo say?" Xia Ningxi asked.

Huo Yuan looked up with teary eyes: "Auntie said that Wanwan's mommy is seriously ill, and it's all your fault. She's lying, isn't she?"

“Yes, she’s lying.” Xia Ningxi answered very seriously.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuan stopped crying considerably. He straightened up and wiped away his tears, saying, "I don't like my aunt anymore. I hate her."

Xia Ningxi hugged Huo Yuan and gently comforted him, "A Yuan, be good, don't be sad. People can say whatever they want, you can't control what they say. You have to be strong and not let other people's nonsense make you cry, understand?"

"Mm." Huo Yuan nodded obediently.

Xia Ningxi wiped away Huo Yuan's tears, held the little guy's hand, and after a few minutes, Huo Yuan's emotions stabilized.

After leaving Xia Wanwan's hospital room, Huo Nanxiao and Tang En went straight back to their office.

Huo Nanxiao noticed that Huo Yuan's eyes were red, his gaze darkened, and he walked over to pick Huo Yuan up.

Huo Yuan shook off Huo Nanxiao's hand and hid behind Xia Ningxi.

This action made Huo Nanxiao hesitate, and then he said to Xia Xingxing, "Xingxing, are you tired of waiting?"

Xia Xingxing asked, "Why did Daddy bring us here for no reason?"

Huo Nanxiao raised an eyebrow: "To see a person."

"Looking at Xia Wanwan? We're not familiar with her, are we? Look, she scared Brother Huo Yuan to tears," Xia Xingxing snorted.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Xia Wanwan is no other than Huo Yuan's mother in name only."

"Does Daddy mean Xia Wanwan is also my mommy? I don't know Xia Wanwan. I only have one mommy, and that's Xia Ningxi. Huo Yuan is the same as me, he only has one mommy. Is Daddy trying to give Huo Yuan away to someone else?" Xia Xingxing retorted sharply.

Huo Nanxiao understood Xia Xingxing's meaning and knew that Xia Xingxing was very dissatisfied at this moment.

He didn't offer any explanation, but instead gave Don a few instructions.

When they left the hospital, neither Xia Xingxing nor Huo Yuan said a word.

But the two little ones stood next to Xia Ningxi without prior arrangement, ignoring Huo Nanxiao's attempts to speak to them.

Xia Ningxi appeared even calmer, not saying a word from beginning to end.

The car slowly drove into the underground parking garage of Yunting Group.

Upon arriving at the company, Huo Nanxiao asked Ye Su to take the two children away.

The office door was closed.

Huo Nanxiao walked to the opposite side of Xia Ningxi, sat down, and casually made two cups of tea, handing one to Xia Ningxi and keeping the other for himself.

Xia Ningxi looked at the tea on the table and asked, "Do you have something to say?"

"I asked Tang En, and he said that Wanwan's physical functions are just a bit weak, and she can have surgery after a period of rest. What do you think?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi said, "Their research team does have the ability to accelerate the awakening of vegetative patients, and there are successful precedents."

"So, what do you plan to do after Wanwan wakes up?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi raised her beautiful eyebrows: "What do you mean?"

"Our marriage and our children," Huo Nanxiao reminded him.

Xia Ningxi's heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, Huo Nanxiao still couldn't let go of Xia Wanwan...

"Are you asking me to move out of my seat early so that Xia Wanwan can be welcomed?" Xia Ningxi asked, trying to remain calm and enunciating each word clearly.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I promised Wanwan that I would marry her, and this is what I owe her."

"And what about me?" Xia Ningxi asked angrily.

Huo Nanxiao remained silent.

Xia Ningxi understood. She suddenly felt ridiculous. She knew all along that Huo Nanxiao had married her only for Xia Wanwan, and that everything Huo Nanxiao had done was for Xia Wanwan. Yet, at this moment, she was still deluding herself into thinking that Huo Nanxiao would care about her, that he would remember her as his wife...

Xia Ningxi lowered her eyes. For some reason, she felt very sad, but she didn't shed a single tear. Perhaps she had already cried all her tears.

She has given everything for Huo Nanxiao.

It turns out that when you don't love someone, even if they give their all, it's useless.

Xia Ningxi took a deep breath and said, "I only want the child."

"Tang En said that even if Wanwan wakes up, she will have difficulty conceiving again in the future." Huo Nanxiao said with a serious expression.

Xia Ningxi said, "Huo Yuan is my child."

"If it weren't for you, Wanwan wouldn't have become like this." Huo Nanxiao's cold voice was devoid of any emotion.

Xia Ningxi suddenly found it ridiculous. She raised her head, her bright eyes fixed on Huo Nanxiao, and said, word by word, "If I said I never harmed Xia Wanwan, would you believe me?"

Huo Nanxiao's gaze darkened.

Xia Ningxi repeated once more: "Xia Wanwan wasn't harmed by me, do you believe me?"

Huo Nanxiao did not answer.

Xia Ningxi suddenly laughed, but her eyes reddened as she laughed, and her vision blurred. She turned her face away, trying to calm herself down. Once she had calmed down a little, she said, "I can step aside, but the child must stay with me."

"No way," Huo Nanxiao disagreed.

Xia Ningxi said, "Huo Nanxiao, you can't be so selfish. I've already agreed to give up the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family to Xia Wanwan. What else are you dissatisfied with? Since you want to abandon your wife of many years, you should pay the price. I can give up the position to Xia Wanwan, but in return, you can forget about ever seeing Huo Yuan again in this lifetime."

"Xia Ningxi, Huo Yuan is my son. What you're doing is unfair to him," Huo Nanxiao said, displeased.

Xia Ningxi said, "Then are you being fair to me? Are you being fair to Huo Yuan? He was already part of your scheme before he was even born. From beginning to end, you've only ever treated Huo Yuan as a pawn. How can you have the nerve to call him your son?"

Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice, "I did not treat A Yuan as a pawn."

Xia Ningxi picked up the tea on the table and splashed it directly at Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao was furious.

Xia Ningxi sneered: "How could a man who only has Xia Wanwan in his eyes possibly take good care of my son?"

Huo Nanxiao suppressed his anger and said, "With your current abilities, you are simply not capable of taking good care of two children, let alone giving them the best education. Only by staying in the Huo family can Ayuan and Xingxing receive the best education and have the best future."

"What future can she have if she stays in the Huo family? Will she grow up with her stepmother? Just as you said, if I really harmed Xia Wanwan, causing her to lie in a hospital bed for so many years, and even took away the man she loved most, and had a child with you, wouldn't Xia Wanwan hate me? Would she treat my child well?" Xia Ningxi questioned angrily.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Wanwan isn't that kind of person."

Xia Ningxi smiled. No woman can accept that the man she loves has a child with someone else.

Did Huo Nanxiao really think Xia Wanwan was an angel?

Xia Ningxi took a deep breath, slowly stood up, and said to Huo Nanxiao, "You can only choose one: Xia Wanwan or the children's custody. I can tell you very clearly that as long as Tang En's surgery is successful, Xia Wanwan will definitely wake up, but you can only choose one: her or the children."

"If you choose Xia Wanwan, then draft a divorce agreement and give up custody of the child. I will then notify Tang En to prepare for Xia Wanwan's surgery. If you refuse to give up custody of the child, Tang En will leave the capital tomorrow."
