Chapter 344 Where is Daddy?

Perhaps because they had waited for two whole days without seeing Huo Nanxiao, the three little ones who had been clamoring to leave had become much quieter.

Xia Ningxi could clearly sense that they were all unhappy, and tried her best to tell jokes to cheer up the three little ones, but no matter what Xia Ningxi said, they couldn't muster any interest.

Because the children all know in their hearts that their daddy doesn't want them anymore.

On the third day, Xia Ningxi got up early in the morning. Seeing the three children sleeping soundly beside her, Xia Ningxi carefully picked up Huo Yuan and gently patted him.

"A-Yuan, wake up."

Huo Yuan opened his eyes groggily, blinking his large, hazy eyes.

Xia Ningxi took another picture of the stars.

Xingxing reluctantly sat up, rubbing her eyes with her chubby little hands: "Mommy, what time is it?"

Xia Ningxi said, "It's eight o'clock."

Xingxing said, "It's already eight o'clock, Chuchu, wake up, we can go home now."

Huo Yuan asked cautiously, "Can we really go home now?"

Xia Ningxi didn't know if Li Yancheng's words were true or not. If Li Yancheng didn't keep his word, it was possible that they would continue to be locked up.

She said, "We can definitely go home, A-Yuan. Don't be afraid. Get up and wash up first, then have breakfast. We can talk about everything else after we've eaten, okay?"

Huo Yuan nodded.

Xingxing asked curiously, "Mommy, what's for breakfast?"

Chu Chu said, "It must be a feast of fish and meat; this big bad guy is really rich."

Xia Ningxi smiled and gently patted Chu Chu's well-behaved little head, saying, "Alright, the three of you go brush your teeth together. I'll wait for you at the door."

Xingxing and Chuchu got up immediately, while Huo Yuan kept pulling on Xia Ningxi's clothes.

Xia Ningxi knew that Huo Yuan had been terrified these past few days, so she personally took him to wash up.

In no time, the three little ones were all clean and adorable, but... Huo Yuan had clearly lost a lot of weight these past few days, which made Xia Ningxi very distressed.

When eating breakfast, Xia Ningxi deliberately put more vegetables on Huo Yuan's plate, but Huo Yuan didn't have much of an appetite and only ate a couple of bites of vegetables before stopping.

Chu Chu immediately picked up a chicken wing and put it in Huo Yuan's bowl: "Brother Huo Yuan, try this, it's delicious."

Xingxing also picked up a piece of pork rib for him: "This pork rib is also delicious."

Seeing the expectant looks in his younger siblings' eyes, Huo Yuan could only grit his teeth and eat a few bites, but soon after swallowing, he vomited it out.

Xia Ningxi immediately carried Huo Yuan into the bathroom.

Huo Yuan vomited for a while before he recovered.

Xingxing and Chuchu were extremely worried and stood outside the door at a loss.

Huo Yuan looked dejected, but seeing the worried expressions on his mother's and younger siblings' faces, he forced a smile: "I'm fine, don't worry."

Xia Ningxi felt very sorry for Huo Yuan and hugged him tightly. He had lost so much weight.

After wiping Huo Yuan's face clean, Xia Ningxi took him back to the restaurant. The servants had already cleaned up the floor where Huo Yuan had vomited, and there was a bowl of light porridge on the table.

"This was prepared by Young Master Li for Young Master Huo Yuan," Yao Qing said.

Xia Ningxi glanced at Yao Qing, said nothing, and fed Huo Yuan some more porridge. Fortunately, Huo Yuan didn't vomit again, and Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief.

After feeding the three little ones, Xia Ningxi went to the front hall alone.

Li Yancheng was sitting there leisurely, watching the news report, looking very carefree.

Seeing Xia Ningxi walk over, Li Yancheng's lips curled up: "Awake?"

Xia Ningxi said, "Can I leave with the child now?"

Li Yancheng said, "Okay."

Xia Ningxi was slightly taken aback. She hadn't expected Li Yancheng to agree so readily. When she came, she was wondering what she would do if Li Yancheng didn't agree to let her leave.

She always felt that Li Yancheng wasn't that kind-hearted: "Really?"

Li Yancheng smiled wickedly: "I promised you, so I will naturally let you leave. I've already had Yao Qing prepare the car; you can leave anytime."

Hearing this, Xia Ningxi was slightly pleased and turned to tell the three little ones to leave.

"Stop." Li Yancheng called out to her.

Xia Ningxi stopped in her tracks: "You want to back out?"

Li Yancheng said, "Huo Nanxiao isn't good to you."

Xia Ningxi said, "This is between him and me, so you don't need to worry about it."

Li Yancheng smiled wickedly: "You protect him so much, but he doesn't care about you at all. Even after you and the child have been missing for so long, he hasn't come to look for you. Instead, he stayed at the hospital with another woman. Xia Ningxi, don't you think you're ridiculous?"

"I have nothing to do with Huo Nanxiao anymore. It doesn't matter who he's with."

Xia Ningxi appeared very carefree, as if she didn't care at all, but in reality, her heart was silently crumbling. However, she was used to it all, and it wasn't the first time.

If she is still jealous now, and still complaining because Huo Nanxiao doesn't love her, then it would be torture for her.

Xia Ningxi didn't want to torture herself, so she simply stopped thinking about it. As long as she could take the child away, nothing else mattered.

It's impossible for Li Yancheng to use her to get rid of Huo Nanxiao. Even if Xia Ningxi hates Huo Nanxiao, she wouldn't commit a crime. She has three children to raise and wouldn't be so impulsive as to ruin her own future.

The car was already parked outside, and the driver was Yao Qing.

Xia Ningxi ushered the three children into the car.

Without hesitation, the three little ones immediately climbed into the car.

Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she could finally leave this awful place. However, her car was stopped just a few dozen meters from the castle.

Xia Ningxi thought Li Yancheng had changed his mind, but when she saw that the person in the lead was Lu Qi, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

Lu Qi spotted Xia Ningxi at a glance and exclaimed excitedly, "Young Mistress!"

Xia Ningxi was surprised to see Lu Qi here. Did this mean that Huo Nanxiao was also nearby?

She looked around, but did not see Huo Nanxiao.

Lu Qi asked, "Where are the young master and the others?"

Xia Ningxi replied, "In the car."

When Lu Qi saw that the three children were all sitting obediently in the car, without any missing limbs, he was very happy and said, "I'll inform Young Master Huo right away!"

He hurriedly dialed a number.

At this moment, Xingxing, who was sitting in the car, poked her head out and asked, "Uncle Lu, where is my daddy? Isn't he here?"

Lu Qi said, "Young Master Huo has something to take care of, he'll be here soon."

Xingxing asked, "Could he have come from Ninghai Hospital?"

"I think so."

Lu Qi didn't think much of it and blurted out a sentence. Xingxing's expression immediately changed. After realizing what he meant, Lu Qi quickly corrected himself: "Young Master Huo must be coming from the company. His company has recently run into trouble. Don't worry, Young Master Xingxing, he will come to pick you up and take you home soon."

"oh."

Xingxing replied coldly, indicating that she no longer cared.

When Huo Yuan heard Lu Qi's words, the light in his eyes dimmed instantly.
