Chapter 286 I've put up with you for a long time

Xia Ningxi's words clearly angered Huo Nanxiao, but she didn't care at all.

She wasn't a particularly kind person; she couldn't bear to watch Xia Wanwan take her child away.

If she compromises today, and Tang En's surgery is successful in the future, and Xia Wanwan wakes up and takes Huo Yuan away again, will Huo Nanxiao really take the child away from Xia Ningxi? Will she never see Huo Yuan again?

This might only be the best-case scenario. Given the Huo family's way of doing things, they would never allow their children to be left to wander outside. Huo Nanxiao might even use force to snatch Xia Xingxing away as well.

What will Xia Ningxi have to fight Huo Nanxiao with then?

At this moment, Xia Ningxi's heart was as hard as a rock. Perhaps at the beginning she had thought that she could continue to walk with Huo Nanxiao, but now Xia Ningxi's heart was dead. She knew that no matter how hard she tried, she could never compare to Xia Wanwan. Even if she lost half her life for Huo Nanxiao, Huo Nanxiao would not care.

The temperature inside the office dropped to freezing point, and the air was filled with a chilly atmosphere.

At this moment, Xia Ningxi felt nothing; her heart was frozen.

She didn't want to stay there any longer, so she went outside for some fresh air.

Unfortunately, she ran into Fu Xiyu. He had come to see Huo Nanxiao, but for some reason, he greeted Xia Ningxi first. Xia Ningxi ignored him and walked alone to the end of the corridor, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looking at the scenery outside.

When Fu Xiyu walked up to Xia Ningxi, she was surprised.

Xia Ningxi asked, "Did Young Master Fu want to see me about something?"

Fu Xiyu said, "I heard that Tang En was someone you brought to the capital."

Xia Ningxi replied, "Yes."

Fu Xiyu asked, "What is the success rate of the surgery?"

“If Tang En takes action, he will succeed most of the time,” Xia Ningxi answered truthfully.

Fu Xiyu said, "I'm very curious, what exactly is your relationship with Huo Nanxiao?"

Xia Ningxi did not speak.

Fu Xiyu continued, "I've searched for a long time, but I can't find any information about you."

Xia Ningxi didn't speak. Her news? On the day she "died" on the operating table, Huo Nanxiao had already erased all traces of her, right?

If you weren't in the know, you wouldn't know that Xia Ningxi was Huo Nanxiao's wife.

Very few people know about this.

Even if someone occasionally hears from the sidelines that Huo Nanxiao has an ex-wife, Huo Nanxiao has never publicly acknowledged it. Outsiders just treat it as hearsay and a joke. There are very few people who would actually consider Xia Ningxi to be Huo Nanxiao's ex-wife.

Fu Xiyu and Huo Nanxiao have known each other for so many years, but he has never heard of Xia Ningxi. In his heart, the person standing next to Huo Nanxiao has always been Xia Wanwan.

Fu Xiyu asked, "I'm very curious about your past with Nan Xiao."

Xia Ningxi raised her beautiful eyebrows and stared coldly at Fu Xiyu: "Why are you asking this?"

Fu Xiyu said, "I may offend you with what I said today, but Nan Xiao has been waiting for Wanwan for many years. If Wanwan wakes up and finds that there is another woman next to Nan Xiao, I think she will be very sad."

"And then?" Xia Ningxi asked in return.

Fu Xiyu said, "Huo Yuan is your son, right?"

"Yes," Xia Ningxi admitted.

Fu Xiyu said, "So, you and Nan Xiao have known each other for a long time."

Xia Ningxi did not answer.

Fu Xiyu said, "Since you can bear him children, you should know him very well. I think that since Nan Xiao has not publicly acknowledged your identity, he probably doesn't have you in his heart."

Xia Ningxi sneered: "I'm not familiar with Young Master Fu, why is he so concerned about my affairs?"

Fu Xiyu said, "Huo Nanxiao is not a suitable choice. He has many enemies, and it may not be appropriate for you to stay by his side."

“My affairs are none of your concern. If you really care about me, you might as well persuade Huo Nanxiao to give up custody of the child. As long as he meets my demands, I will naturally leave.” Xia Ningxi’s clear voice was tinged with disdain.

How could she not understand that Fu Xiyu was advising her to stay away from Huo Nanxiao?

If Huo Nanxiao hadn't insisted on taking the two children, Xia Ningxi would never have paid him any attention.

She turned and left.

Ye Su was playing with her child in the VIP room at that moment.

Xia Ningxi entered the VIP room and left with the two children.

Fu Xiyu watched Xia Ningxi's departing figure, a complex light flashing in his eyes. He pushed open the door to the president's office and went inside.

"What are you doing here?" Huo Nanxiao was clearly displeased.

Fu Xiyu said, "I heard you're going to participate in a bidding process next week?"

"Hmm," Huo Nanxiao replied in a deep voice.

Fu Xiyu said, "I just received news that Han Musen is also among the bidders."

A hint of coldness appeared on Huo Nanxiao's handsome face.

Fu Xiyu said, "He returned to China this time determined to get revenge on you, and Ninghai Hospital has also sent people to monitor him."

"I know." Huo Nanxiao knew that Han Musen had become much more vicious after he was released from prison after serving several years. He was even willing to harm innocent people in order to get revenge on him.

Xia Wanwan's health is so poor because Han Musen's men tampered with her last time, and she almost lost her life. If Han Musen hadn't secretly tried to kill Xia Wanwan, Tang En would have been able to arrange surgery for her long ago.

"Han Musen must be furious that he failed to secure the Mindong project this time, and he'll definitely do something else," Huo Nanxiao said with certainty.

Fu Xiyu said, "If he retaliates, everyone who is close to you will be in danger."

Huo Nanxiao's face darkened.

He called Lu Qi and ordered nearly three times the manpower to be deployed to Ninghai Hospital. Even the number of bodyguards responsible for protecting Tang En was increased, because Huo Nanxiao knew very well that Tang En was the key to whether Xia Wanwan could wake up.

Han Musen hated him to the core, and his biggest goal in this life was to take revenge on Huo Nanxiao. Given Han Musen's temper, he would definitely not let Xia Wanwan wake up safely.

Huo Nanxiao finished get off work after discussing work with Fu Xiyu for an entire afternoon.

When Huo Nanxiao came out of the president's office, he found that the VIP room where the two children were supposed to be staying was empty. He called Ye Su and learned that Xia Ningxi had left with the two children long ago.

Huo Nanxiao felt a headache coming on when he recalled what Xia Ningxi had said.

"Should the CEO call a doctor?"

Ye Su noticed Huo Nanxiao's subtle movements and asked him with concern.

Huo Nanxiao shook his head and said, "Go arrange a car."

Ye Su turned to leave, but Xia Ningxi's words suddenly flashed through her mind. She stopped and looked at Huo Nanxiao cautiously, hesitant to speak.

"Is there anything else?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Ye Su said, "When the eldest young mistress left, she asked me to inform the president to draft the divorce agreement."

Huo Nanxiao's face turned cold, and his aura dropped by more than ten degrees in an instant. He remained silent with a cold expression.

Ye Su lowered her head: "President, do you need me to draft the agreement?"

Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly: "Ignore her."

Ye Su opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

When Huo Nanxiao returned to Lanyuan, the house was empty and no one was there. He asked the housekeeper and learned that Xia Ningxi had not returned. Huo Nanxiao was very angry and dialed Xia Ningxi's number, but could not get through.

"Does she want to rebel?"

Huo Nanxiao became even angrier.

Xia Ningxi has been gone from Yunting Group for several hours. Even if she went out to play, she should be home with the child by now, right?

As darkness fell outside, Huo Nanxiao still hadn't seen Xia Ningxi. He was getting increasingly agitated and couldn't sit still any longer. He got up, grabbed his car keys, and prepared to leave. Just as he opened the car door, he saw Xia Ningxi returning with her two sons.

Huo Nanxiao's anger subsided somewhat, but his impeccably handsome face remained icy cold.

"You still know to come back?" Huo Nanxiao reminded him unhappily.

Xia Ningxi held the two children's hands and said gently, "Go inside and wash your hands first. Mommy will come to find you in a little while."

"good."

"good!"

The two little ones were very well-behaved and obedient. They walked straight past Huo Nanxiao and happily ran into the castle.

Only after the two children's figures had completely disappeared from Xia Ningxi's sight did Xia Ningxi look at Huo Nanxiao and ask, "What have you thought about what I told you during the day?"

Huo Nanxiao remained silent.

"Several hours should be enough for you to write the divorce agreement, right?" Xia Ningxi retorted.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Divorce is fine, but I can't give you custody of the children."

Xia Ningxi sneered: "It seems you haven't thought this through in the last few hours. Huo Nanxiao, now it's you asking me for a favor, not the other way around. You'd better understand your place. We've been married for so many years, and all I've asked for is custody of the two children and not taking half of your assets. If you continue with this attitude, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Huo Nanxiao said, "Xia Wanwan is also your sister, your closest relative. Do you really want to watch her lie in a hospital bed for the rest of her life?"

Xia Ningxi said, "She can wake up and live a normal life like everyone else, but on the condition that you give the child back to me."

Huo Nanxiao said, "I want both Huo Yuan and Xingxing."

Xia Ningxi sneered: "Fine, I'll grant your wish. Starting tomorrow, Xia Wanwan will return to a regular ward and be cared for by doctors from Ninghai Hospital. Tang En will no longer be responsible for her subsequent treatment, and you will not need to pay any more fees."

She dialed Tang En's number in front of Huo Nanxiao.

Tang En would immediately stop treating Xia Wanwan as soon as she asked.

Huo Nanxiao strode forward, grabbed Xia Ningxi's wrist, and forcibly hung up her phone.

Xia Ningxi said angrily, "Huo Nanxiao, don't go too far!"

Huo Nanxiao was also furious: "Wanwan is your family, how can you just stand by and watch her die?"

Xia Ningxi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. She said, "Huo Nanxiao, have you forgotten that I'm the one who ruined Xia Wanwan like this? If I really ruined her, why would I save her? I've tolerated you for a long time. You'd better not push your luck, otherwise, you'll get neither Xia Wanwan nor her two children!"
