Chapter 287 Can I Not Need Daddy?

Xia Ningxi ignored Huo Nanxiao's anger and didn't even glance at him before turning and entering Lanyuan.

Huo Yuan and Xia Xingxing were sitting in the living room waiting. When they saw Xia Ningxi return in a huff, they immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Huo Yuan asked cautiously, "Mommy, did Daddy bully you?"

"No." Xia Ningxi smiled slightly, but she didn't realize how forced her smile looked.

Xia Xingxing grew up by Xia Ningxi's side and knew that Xia Ningxi only had this expression when she was angry. She angrily snorted, "It must be Daddy bullying Mommy. He's no good. I don't know what he was up to when he took us to the hospital to see Xia Wanwan today."

Huo Yuan's expression darkened noticeably when he heard Xia Wanwan's name. He said, "Will Daddy separate us?"

"He can forget about it!" Xia Xingxing said angrily.

Huo Yuan lowered his head: "But what if Mommy Wanwan wakes up? It seems like Daddy is going to give me to her."

Huo Yuan was terrified when he thought about being sent to the Xia family, being separated from Xingxing and Chuchu, and never seeing his mother again.

"Mommy, will Daddy give me away to someone else?"

Huo Yuan asked Xia Ningxi with great fear.

Xia Ningxi said, "A Yuan, don't worry, Mommy won't let him give you away to anyone."

"Really?" Huo Yuan asked innocently.

Xia Ningxi nodded: "Really, no matter what happens in the future, Mommy will not allow anyone to take you away."

Huo Yuan was much relieved.

Xia Xingxing held his hand and said, "Brother, don't worry, I will protect you. If Daddy gives you away to someone else, we will sever our father-son relationship with him and make sure he never sees us again."

"Okay." Huo Yuan thought this was feasible.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Huo Nanxiao walked in from outside the door.

The two little ones immediately glared fiercely at Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao sensed their anger, raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and sat down opposite the two children.

The maid immediately stepped forward and poured Huo Nanxiao a cup of tea.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Go and squeeze some watermelon juice."

"Okay." The maid quickly made several glasses of watermelon juice for Xia Ningxi and the two children.

The two little ones remained silent, sitting down next to Xia Ningxi with their juice cups, without saying a word.

Huo Nanxiao asked, "Xingxing, is it delicious?"

Xia Xingxing didn't even bother to roll her eyes at him.

Huo Nanxiao's face darkened, and he said to Huo Yuan, "A Yuan, come here, let Daddy give you a hug."

Huo Yuan hid directly in Xia Ningxi's arms and refused to go over.

Neither of the two children paid any attention to Huo Nanxiao, which made Huo Nanxiao feel uneasy. He kept a sullen face and said nothing. After drinking a cup of tea, he went upstairs and did not come down until dinner time.

When it was time to take a bath at night, Huo Nanxiao wanted to run the bath for the two children, but Xia Ningxi did everything he was supposed to do, washing the two children clean early and letting them sleep in Xia Ningxi's guest room.

Huo Nanxiao, having nothing else to do, went into the guest room. The smiles on the two little ones' faces immediately disappeared when they saw him.

Huo Nanxiao noticed the subtle changes in the two little ones, went in, and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Xia Xingxing asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Can't I come to see you?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Xingxing said, "What's so interesting about this? Get out."

Huo Nanxiao's lips twitched; this was the first time he had ever been told to get out.

If anyone else had said that, Huo Nanxiao would probably have kicked him out of the capital. But the person in front of him was his son, so Huo Nanxiao wasn't angry at all. He patiently asked, "You have a problem with me?"

Xia Xingxing said, "Yes."

Huo Nanxiao asked, "What did I do to make you so dissatisfied?"

Xia Xingxing said, "Do you want to separate me from Brother Huo Yuan?"

Huo Nanxiao frowned: "Why do you think that?"

Xia Xingxing said, "Didn't you take us to Ninghai Hospital because of that woman named Xia Wanwan? Do you want to take Huo Yuan away from me and Mommy?"

“A Yuan is Xia Wanwan’s child,” Huo Nanxiao told him.

Xia Xingxing snorted coldly: "Huo Yuan is my brother, my mommy's child, not someone else's child. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You can't separate me from my brother Huo Yuan, and you can't separate us from our mommy either."

Huo Nanxiao stared intently at Xia Xingxing's face with deep, focused eyes, without uttering a single word.

Looking around, Xia Ningxi was nowhere to be seen, and no one knew where she had gone.

Huo Nanxiao originally wanted to play with the children for a while, but seeing the current situation, with both children showing hostility towards him, Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes, his deep, cold gaze fixed on Huo Yuan, and asked very seriously, "A Yuan, would you like to stay by Daddy's side?"

This question stumped Huo Yuan. He thought for a moment and nodded.

Huo Nanxiao was very pleased and said, "That's good. Don't worry, Daddy won't send you away. You will stay by Daddy's side forever."

Huo Yuan asked, "What about Mommy?"

Huo Nanxiao frowned but remained silent.

Huo Yuan then said, "Daddy, I love you very much, but I also love my younger brother, sister and mommy very much."

Huo Nanxiao's gaze deepened: "What if you are destined to part ways with them?"

"Can I not have a daddy?" Huo Yuan asked very seriously, his big, innocent eyes now showing a rare firmness.

Huo Nanxiao was stunned, not expecting Huo Yuan to ask such a question.

Can he not have a daddy?

Huo Nanxiao was shocked. He looked at Huo Yuan's pure and innocent face and never expected that he was so unimportant in Huo Yuan's heart.

Huo Nanxiao said, "You are the young master of the Huo family. You will live and grow up with Xingxing in the Huo family. You will not be separated from Xingxing."

"And what about Mommy?" Huo Yuan asked again.

Huo Nanxiao remained silent, because he didn't know how to explain it to Huo Yuan.

Huo Yuan wasn't stupid. Hearing Huo Nanxiao say this, he probably already understood what Huo Nanxiao was thinking. He said, "If Daddy wants to kick Mommy out, then I will leave with Mommy. I don't want to be the young master of the Huo family. I want to live with my little brother Xingxing, my little sister Chuchu, and Mommy."

"Daddy, you'll say yes, right?"

Huo Yuan raised his head, his large eyes looking earnestly at Huo Nanxiao, waiting for his answer.

Huo Nanxiao's heart wavered.

Faced with Huo Yuan's sincere question, Huo Nanxiao had no way to refuse.

As the child's biological father, what he wants most is for his child to grow up healthy and happy. But if he were to use his power to separate Huo Yuan and Xia Ningxi now, he would definitely be very sad.
