Chapter 32 Playing Hard to Get

Ye Su didn't take the young doctor in the ward who was "seducing" Huo Nanxiao seriously. Having been by Huo Nanxiao's side for so many years, she knew his taste very well. Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry could catch Huo Nanxiao's eye. Even if someone was lucky enough to get into his bed, they would only be a free playmate.

The woman whom Ye Su looked down upon had already changed into the clothes Ye Su had bought and walked out of the ward.

Ye Su was complaining about this junior doctor who rose to power through his body, but she was stunned when she saw the other person's face clearly.

Although the doctor was wearing a mask, his figure and demeanor were exactly the same as the deceased young mistress!

Ye Su even believed that the person in front of her was Xia Ningxi!

"Young Madam!" Ye Su called out almost instinctively.

Xia Ningxi ignored her, and it was unclear what was so important that she walked away very quickly.

Now it was Ye Su's turn to be shocked. She tugged at the bodyguard's clothes and asked, "Was that female doctor the deceased young mistress?"

"No way, you're just like Lu Qi, he's been getting all confused lately too." The bodyguard denied it.

Ye Su was shocked: "How is this possible? The backs and postures of these two people are exactly the same. Are they really not the same person?"

Ye Su wanted to chase after them to see what was going on...

Xia Ningxi had returned to the clinic and was about to take out her phone to send Xia Jingcheng a message that she was safe when she saw a large and a small child lying on her seat. Xia Ningxi was startled.

Chu Xinran and Xia Xingxing are both here!

It's already past midnight!

"What are you two doing here?" Xia Ningxi asked.

The two, one big and one small, groggily raised their heads.

Chu Xinran was exhausted: "Why are you only getting off work now? I've been waiting for you all day."

"Why did you bring Xingxing to the hospital?" Xia Ningxi's face turned pale. If Huo Nanxiao were to question her face, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause!

"Xinran, quickly take Xingxing away." Xia Ningxi was very anxious.

Chu Xinran looked bewildered: "Why? We've been waiting for you all day."

"Don't ask so many questions. In short, Xingxing can't be in the hospital. It'll cause a big problem. Please, I'm begging you, take her away right away." Xia Ningxi pleaded, no longer caring about anything else. She took off her own mask and put it on Xia Xingxing's face, covering her up completely, as if afraid of being discovered.

Chu Xinran was both amused and exasperated: "Why are you so nervous? You're making our Xingxing look like a fugitive. We just came to the hospital to see you. It's so late, you must not have had dinner yet. I'll treat you to a late-night snack."

"No, I'm not hungry!" Xia Ningxi didn't dare let them stay any longer, because Huo Nanxiao could come looking for them at any moment. If he saw Xia Xingxing, she wouldn't know how to explain it.

"Is Mommy scared of me in the hospital?" Xia Xingxing asked.

Chu Xinran said, "How could that be? Your mommy must really like you."

Xia Xingxing said, "Nonsense, Mommy just wants to get rid of me."

Chu Xinran asked Xia Ningxi, "What's wrong with you lately? How can a hospital make doctors work all night? Don't you even have time to go out for a meal with me?"

"The patient I'm taking care of has a rather special status, so I can't leave," Xia Ningxi said apologetically.

Chu Xinran snorted coldly: "I think I can see that you have a prejudice against me. I took care of your son for a whole day, and you won't even have a meal with me. What kind of patient would make a doctor like you stay up all night? Are you kidding me?"

“He is the young master of the Huo family,” Xia Ningxi answered truthfully.

Chu Xinran's eyes widened: "The Huo family? Huo Yuan?"

“That’s right.” Xia Ningxi nodded.

Chu Xinran's expression changed instantly. She grabbed Xia Ningxi's hand and said, "You must never offend the Huo family. My dad said that Huo Yuan's father is no ordinary person. He is ruthless and decisive, and has a terrible temper. He can bankrupt a small company like ours with a wave of his hand. Since you are treating Young Master Huo, you really need to be careful. If you make him unhappy, it will only take one finger to kill you."

Chu Xinran met Xia Ningxi abroad and has been studying abroad for many years. Before returning to China, she had only heard of Huo Nanxiao's name and knew that Huo Nanxiao had a child, but she had never met them.

Rumor has it that Huo Nanxiao is a very difficult person to deal with. Her father has been doing business for many years and has a certain status in the capital city, but compared with the Huo family, he is really a small fry.

She suddenly became worried about Xia Ningxi's safety: "Are you alright? You just returned to the country and don't know much about the capital. Have the Huo family made things difficult for you?"

“If you don’t take Xingxing with you and leave, and the Huo family finds out, they will really kill me,” Xia Ningxi answered truthfully.

How could Chu Xinran dare to stay here any longer?

"Star, hurry up and go!"

Xia Xingxing wasn't as easily fooled as Chu Xinran. He knew very well that his mother was kicking him out because of Huo Yuan. His mother must not want the Huo family to find out about him, which was why she didn't let him come to the hospital.

Hmph, I saw through it long ago.

Xia Xingxing knew everything, but she didn't deliberately expose Xia Ningxi. Instead, she pretended not to know anything and obediently left with Chu Xinran.

Ye Su, watching from a distance, raised an eyebrow as she saw Chu Xinran leave with a child. Too embarrassed to go into the doctor's office to examine her face closely, she followed Chu Xinran and Xia Xingxing after they left.

Xia Ningxi had no idea that she had almost been exposed. She tidied up her consultation room and returned to the ward.

The room was dark and no lights were on. Huo Yuan was fast asleep, but Xia Ningxi didn't dare leave him behind because he could wake up at any moment. Huo Nanxiao wasn't a doctor, and he couldn't control Huo Yuan when he lost control.

Xia Ningxi was also worried that Huo Nanxiao might hurt Huo Yuan without knowing his own strength, so she planned to continue keeping watch tonight.

Xia Ningxi dared not make a sound, much less turn on the light to wake Huo Yuan, so she carefully groped her way into the ward in the dark. However, when she passed the sofa, she tripped over Huo Nanxiao's leg and fell forward uncontrollably.

She was so frightened she almost screamed, but the man covered her lips.

There was no excruciating pain, only a warm embrace...

"Don't make a sound," Huo Nanxiao said in a low voice.

Xia Ningxi realized that Huo Nanxiao was already holding her, his hands around her waist covering her skin. She felt itchy all over and whispered, "Let go."

The man was displeased, but instead pulled Xia Ningxi into his arms.

Her chest was pressed tightly against the man's chest. She raised her eyes and met Huo Nanxiao's deep eyes. In the darkness, his deep eyes had an indescribable coldness.

Xia Ningxi hurriedly scrambled off Huo Nanxiao, but in her haste, she made a mistake and before she could break free from his embrace, she fell heavily into his arms again.

Depend on!

Xia Ningxi wanted to curse.

Above him, a man spoke coldly: "Playing hard to get?"
