Chapter 322 Elopement with another man

Xia Ningxi was very vigilant, afraid that Huo Nanxiao, that bastard, would attack her without warning. Her eyes were fixed on Huo Nanxiao's face. The man was very close to her, and his handsome face was almost touching Xia Ningxi's.

His warm breath sprayed onto Xia Ningxi's face, causing a tingling sensation. Her cheeks tingled slightly, and her ears turned red without her realizing it.

Huo Nanxiao suddenly placed his hand on Xia Ningxi's waist and tried to unbutton her nightgown, a move that terrified Xia Ningxi.

"What are you doing?!" Xia Ningxi stammered.

Huo Nanxiao sneered: "What? You expect me to do anything else for you?"

"?" Xia Ningxi thought to herself, "You pinned me down on the bed and reached out to take off my clothes. Isn't that what you wanted to do?"

However, Xia Ningxi soon realized that she had overthought things. Huo Nanxiao just wanted to see the injury on her back and had no other intentions.

Seeing that the wound had scabbed over, Huo Nanxiao got up to get the first-aid kit and prepared to put a new dressing on Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi quickly pulled the blanket over herself, not daring to let Huo Nanxiao apply the medicine.

Huo Nanxiao raised an eyebrow: "What are you hiding from?"

Xia Ningxi cleared her throat: "I can do it myself."

"It's not convenient for you."

After Huo Nanxiao finished speaking, he pulled the blanket off her.

Xia Ningxi said, "I said I'll do it myself!"

"What, you think I can't even look at your body? Or do you think I have any improper thoughts about you?" Huo Nanxiao sneered.

Xia Ningxi couldn't help but want to curse.

However, the injury on her back was quite troublesome to treat herself. Huo Nanxiao happened to have a first-aid kit, so she thought she would just have him change her dressing.

With her back to Huo Nanxiao, she gently unbuttoned her pajamas, revealing half of her shoulder and her snow-white back.

Huo Nanxiao carefully peeled off the medicated patch from her waist.

"hiss--"

Xia Ningxi gave a soft hum.

Huo Nanxiao frowned: "Did I hurt you?"

Xia Ningxi's face was deathly pale. She took a deep breath and said, "It's okay, you can continue."

Huo Nanxiao frowned even more, unsure if Xia Ningxi was truly in pain, and could only slow down his movements.

Xia Ningxi said, "Could you be a little gentler? Don't poke the wound, it hurts."

"Okay." Huo Nanxiao could only move very clumsily and gently, but as a grown man, he was indeed not as careful and gentle as a girl, and it took him a lot of effort to change Xia Ningxi's bandage.

Xia Ningxi's expression softened slightly.

Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry."

Xia Ningxi was taken aback, thinking that Huo Nanxiao was apologizing for hurting her earlier, and replied, "It's okay, you're not a professional either, it's not your fault."

"You were injured because of me, I'm sorry," Huo Nanxiao's voice repeated once more.

Xia Ningxi said, "If you're apologizing for this, then there's no need. After all, I'm your wife. Maybe if I divorce you, Han Musen won't bother me anymore."

Huo Nanxiao's deep eyes were unfathomable. "The child is mine. Even if you take the child abroad, the Han family will chase you there."

"You don't need to worry about that. Since I am their mother, I will protect them." Xia Ningxi put on her clothes and buttoned them up one by one.

Huo Nanxiao watched the girl's retreating figure, feeling uneasy. He changed the subject: "What do you want for lunch?"

Xia Ningxi said, "Whatever."

"I'll go tell the kitchen to prepare," Huo Nanxiao said before leaving the bedroom.

The housekeeper was overjoyed to see Huo Nanxiao come downstairs and went to greet him: "Young Master Huo, you're awake! Where's the young mistress?"

"She'll be down in a bit. Tell the kitchen to prepare lunch quickly, as she has a sensitive stomach. Make some light and appetizing dishes."

After giving his instructions, Huo Nanxiao made himself a glass of juice and had the butler deliver it upstairs to Xia Ningxi.

The butler was shocked. He never expected that Huo Nanxiao would take the initiative to make juice for Xia Ningxi. This was something that the servants usually did. Huo Nanxiao would never do such a small thing!

The butler took the juice with great shock and, still reeling, carried it upstairs.

Xia Ningxi had already washed up and changed into a set of clothes from Huo Nanxiao's wardrobe. When she heard the knock on the door, she thought Huo Nanxiao had returned. She went to open the door and found the butler standing there with a smile on his face.

"Young mistress, this is blueberry juice, freshly squeezed."

Xia Ningxi said, "Thank you, just put it on the table."

The butler politely placed the juice on the table. Seeing that Xia Ningxi didn't seem to care much and was busy fiddling with her hair in front of the mirror, the butler added, "Young Madam, this is juice that Young Master Huo specially made for you. Would you like to try some?"

Xia Ningxi froze, her hand fumbling with her hair. She turned around in surprise: "What did you say? Huo Nanxiao juiced it? Does he even know how to use a juicer?"

"It took me ages to extract the juice, and the first cup was brought to the young mistress by me," the butler replied warmly.

Xia Ningxi picked up the blueberry juice with some skepticism and took a sip. It was sweet, very fresh, and tasted excellent. She asked doubtfully, "Are you sure Huo Nanxiao squeezed this?"

The butler smiled and said, "Would I lie to the young mistress?"

Xia Ningxi said, "Has this guy gone mad? He actually did it himself. Is he going to go bankrupt tomorrow?"

"Young Madam is joking. Our Huo family is the number one wealthy family in the capital. How could we go bankrupt so easily? Young Master Huo just likes you and wanted to personally make you a glass of your favorite blueberry juice. It's just a token of his affection. He really likes you very much."

Xia Ningxi, however, didn't quite believe it.

How could that bastard Huo Nanxiao know she likes to drink juice? And he even took the initiative to do so?

Are you kidding me!

He must need something from her.

Xia Ningxi was not moved by the glass of blueberry juice and took the empty glass downstairs.

As Xia Ningxi came downstairs, several maids quickly brought out several plates of snacks and placed them on the table to help her fill her stomach.

Xia Ningxi didn't eat either, and sat down opposite Huo Nanxiao.

At this moment, Huo Nanxiao was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking at the company documents that Ye Su had just sent over, without looking at Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi looked around, but the three children were nowhere to be seen. She asked, "Where did the children go?"

Huo Nanxiao replied, "My mother took me out to play."

Xia Ningxi said, "Can I take them back tonight?"

"Not yet." Huo Nanxiao's voice was indifferent.

Xia Ningxi asked, "Why?"

Huo Nanxiao raised his eyes, "It's not safe for the three children to be with you."

"Alright, then tell me when I can leave the capital with my child? It's not safe for me to stay here any longer."

Huo Nanxiao remained silent, continuing to look at his files, and showed no intention of paying attention to Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi was displeased: "What do you mean by not saying anything? Are you planning to back out?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "Xia Wanwan hasn't woken up yet, so we'll talk about this later."

He didn't want to discuss this with Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi also sensed Huo Nanxiao's perfunctory attitude towards her. She didn't understand why Huo Nanxiao, who loved Xia Wanwan so much, would be eager for her to divorce him.

Shouldn't Huo Nanxiao immediately agree to her request at this time, get a divorce certificate quickly, and let her leave with the child?

Did Huo Nanxiao really think that Xia Wanwan would wake up to find out that the man she loved not only had a wife but also several children? If that happened, Xia Wanwan would probably be driven to death by Huo Nanxiao's behavior.

Xia Ningxi really had no idea what that bastard Huo Nanxiao was thinking.

Suppressing her anger, she said very seriously, "I've already performed the surgery, and the chip has been implanted in Xia Wanwan's brain. As long as Xia Wanwan's body is fine, she should wake up in half a month at most. Tang En and Jerry will take over Xia Wanwan's care. With their abilities, they are fully capable of curing Xia Wanwan. So why won't you agree?"

She questioned Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I said we'd wait until Xia Wanwan wakes up before bringing up the divorce."

"She will definitely wake up," Xia Ningxi repeated.

Huo Nanxiao was very impatient: "Since you're so sure she'll wake up, why do you want a divorce right away? Or are you not confident in your medical skills and want to run away with the child right now?"

Xia Ningxi was so angry she laughed. Her medical skills were bad? What a joke!

She suppressed her anger and said, "Aren't you afraid that Xia Wanwan will wake up and find out that we are already married and have children? If you let me and the children go now, I can still pretend that I have never met you. These children are not your biological children, and you can comfortably pretend to be a diamond bachelor and be with Xia Wanwan. But when she wakes up, it will be completely different. Aren't you afraid that she will be heartbroken?"

Huo Nanxiao slowly raised his eyes: "Never known me?"

“Yes! Since we’re getting a divorce, let’s sever all ties,” Xia Ningxi said.

Huo Nanxiao sneered: "I can get a divorce whenever I want. As for the children, they are all my own. Do you want to find them a new father after the divorce?"

"What's it to you?" Xia Ningxi retorted.

Snap—

A loud bang.

Huo Nanxiao slammed the file in his hand heavily onto the table.

The entire hall was filled with a strong chill, so cold it seemed to freeze people in place. The cold wind blowing through the air was as sharp as a knife, as if it would cut people in two.

Xia Ningxi didn't know where Huo Nanxiao got such a big temper. Was she right?

They're getting a divorce anyway, why is Huo Nanxiao still meddling so much?

She didn't care that Huo Nanxiao married Xia Wanwan after his divorce, so why should Huo Nanxiao care who she marries in the future?

Something's wrong!

Xia Ningxi ignored the furious Huo Nanxiao, rolled her eyes at him, and then picked up the nuts on the table and showed them off.

Huo Nanxiao stared coldly at Xia Ningxi's pale face. Seeing her dissatisfaction and eagerness to leave him with the child, Huo Nanxiao became even angrier. This damned woman really planned to run away with his child to another country and elope with another man?

The thought of his wife becoming another man's woman and his child having to call someone else "Daddy" made Huo Nanxiao even angrier!
