Xia Ningxi lay in a pool of blood after a difficult labor from her two-year marriage, completely forgetting that it was the day of his wedding to someone else.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Leave th...
Chapter 327 Wishing You Happiness
Huo Yuan grew up with Huo Nanxiao and has a biased view of his father, but Xingxing is different.
Xingxing had seen through Huo Nanxiao and was furious: "Brother, can't you see clearly? It's Daddy who doesn't want us and Mommy anymore. It's Daddy who wants to abandon us for Xia Wanwan. It's him who forced Mommy to divorce. We haven't had a daddy for a long time."
Huo Yuan's eyes reddened upon hearing this, "But...but Daddy loves us very much."
“If he truly loved us, he wouldn’t have separated from Mommy,” Xia Xingxing said.
Huo Yuan bit his lip and thought about it carefully. He felt that Xingxing was right.
If Daddy truly loved them, he wouldn't have separated from Mommy, much less married Xia Wanwan.
The two stood outside Huo Nanxiao's room in silence for a long time, but ultimately they couldn't bring themselves to go in and question Huo Nanxiao about why.
Perhaps Huo Yuan still harbored a sliver of hope, wishing that Huo Nanxiao would not separate from his mother, thinking that if he begged his father, perhaps his father would change his mind.
However, Xingxing no longer trusted Huo Nanxiao at all.
Xingxing stormed back to her room and started packing her things.
Huo Yuan saw this and immediately grabbed him: "Xingxing, where are you going?"
Xingxing said, "Anyway, we're going to leave eventually. I'll pack my and my sister's luggage first. If brother can't bear to leave Daddy, then he can stay at the Huo family. My sister and I will definitely stay with Mommy. No matter where Mommy goes, we will be by her side."
"I want to go with Mommy too," Huo Yuan quickly declared.
Xingxing said, "But you're not on my side at all. You don't even hate Daddy."
Huo Yuan explained, "I also really hate Daddy, but... but... I want our family to be happy together."
Xingxing said, "It's more dignified for us to leave now. Otherwise, it would be really embarrassing if that woman named Xia Wanwan came back and kicked us out."
Huo Yuan opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word in defense of Huo Nanxiao. In the end, he could only sadly pack his things silently. No matter what, he wanted to be with his mother and his younger siblings. If his father didn't want him, then so be it.
The two little ones began to clumsily pack their luggage.
Xia Ningxi knew nothing about any of this.
Xia Ningxi was opening the first-aid kit and letting Huo Nanxiao take off his shirt so she could treat his wounds.
Huo Nanxiao did not hesitate. His fair fingers casually unbuttoned the shirt and took it off.
Xia Ningxi frowned when she saw the injury on Huo Nanxiao's back and said, "Why didn't you dodge?"
"There's no need," Huo Nanxiao said indifferently.
Xia Ningxi said, "That's true. Dad won't allow you to marry Xia Wanwan. He'll beat you sooner or later, and you can't avoid it. But you know his methods. If you force Xia Wanwan to have a title without their permission, it will only harm her."
She gently applied the medicine to Huo Nanxiao's wound, her voice clear and gentle, almost too pleasant to hear, as if she were telling someone else's story, something that had nothing to do with her own.
When the medicine was applied to Huo Nanxiao's wound, the muscles in his back tensed instantly, so Xia Ningxi had to soften her movements.
Huo Nanxiao grasped Xia Ningxi's wrist.
Xia Ningxi said, "Did I hurt you?"
Huo Nanxiao didn't look at her, but held Xia Ningxi's wrist tightly.
Xia Ningxi was even more puzzled and couldn't help but ask, "Huo Nanxiao?"
“They will not allow you to take your two children away,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi lowered her eyes and thought about it seriously: "I will make it clear to them that if they miss their grandson in the future, they can come to visit anytime, and I will not refuse."
Huo Nanxiao tightened his grip on Xia Ningxi's hand.
Xia Ningxi felt a little pain and awkwardly pulled her hand away, saying, "Let me treat your wound first."
Huo Nanxiao did not speak again.
Xia Ningxi quickly treated Huo Nanxiao's wounds. His clothes were covered in blood and could no longer be used, so Xia Ningxi found a loose-fitting garment and placed it on the table before turning to pack up the first-aid kit.
With her back to Huo Nanxiao, she said, "Don't spread this around. When we got married, you didn't tell anyone, and now that we're divorced, there's no need to tell anyone. I'll quietly leave the capital with the child. Then you can tell Mom and Dad that I'm going on a trip abroad with the child."
She paused slightly before continuing, "However, since we just got divorced, it's not appropriate for you to marry Xia Wanwan right away. Otherwise, they'll think it's all because of Xia Wanwan and will definitely target her in the future."
Huo Nanxiao chuckled: "When did you start worrying about Xia Wanwan?"
Xia Ningxi was stunned and immediately realized that Huo Nanxiao was mocking her. She suddenly felt very pathetic. Did Huo Nanxiao think that she had to speak ill of Xia Wanwan in order to fit his impression of her?
Xia Ningxi found it quite ridiculous that Huo Nanxiao still harbored such a strong prejudice against her after all these years.
Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway. They're getting a divorce anyway, so let Huo Nanxiao think what he wants.
Xia Ningxi did not answer Huo Nanxiao's question. She closed the first-aid kit and turned to leave.
Huo Nanxiao stopped her and asked, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
"No," Xia Ningxi answered decisively.
Huo Nanxiao said with a serious expression, "I remember you said before that you didn't harm her. Wanwan is awake now, and after resting for a while, she will be able to speak normally. Do you want to go see her?"
“There’s no need for that,” Xia Ningxi refused.
Looking at Xia Ningxi's slender yet stubborn back, Huo Nanxiao asked, "Why?"
"It's no longer important to me. I just want to take my child and leave the capital. Nothing else matters anymore." Xia Ningxi smiled slightly, but her heart was filled with bitterness.
Over the years, she has said more than once that Xia Wanwan was not harmed by her, but no one believes her, not even Huo Nanxiao.
Now that Xia Wanwan has woken up, she can confront Xia Wanwan, but what will happen after the confrontation?
Even if she clears her name and gains a clean record, what good will it do? It's just a waste of time and getting entangled with them. Xia Wanwan might even laugh at her in her heart for marrying Huo Nanxiao for so many years and bearing him children, only to find that she's not even half as good as Xia Wanwan, and she can't even keep the marriage she's worked so hard to build.
Xia Ningxi didn't want to lose face.
She didn't care anymore.
Xia Ningxi gave a bitter smile, suppressing the bitterness in her heart, and said to Huo Nanxiao, "I'll stay here with you tonight. I'll buy plane tickets to leave the capital city, and I'll leave with the child tomorrow. I wish you happiness."
