Chapter 361 First Time Following You

The temperature inside the car was very high, and the man's warm breath almost enveloped Xia Ningxi. Her hand was held by Huo Nanxiao, whose large palm was warm and strong, but it made Xia Ningxi's heart, which was already rippled with excitement, beat wildly. Without thinking, she pulled her hand away.

Huo Nanxiao frowned and glanced at Xia Ningxi thoughtfully.

Xia Ningxi coughed lightly to ease her embarrassment. In reality, her mind was blank because this was the first time Huo Nanxiao had taken the initiative to hold her hand, and her heart was in turmoil.

She's so useless; she actually let Huo Nanxiao sway her emotions like that.

Xia Ningxi took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but sitting right next to Huo Nanxiao made it hard to stay calm, especially with the faint scent of perfume on Huo Nanxiao, which smelled wonderful. Her heart fluttered, and she could only look out the window to distract herself.

Suddenly, the driver slammed on the brakes, and Xia Ningxi, who wasn't wearing a seatbelt, lost her balance and was thrown forward violently.

Huo Nanxiao swiftly grabbed Xia Ningxi and pulled her into his arms.

Xia Ningxi thought she would fall heavily onto the chair in front of her, but a strong, thick hand grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into Huo Nanxiao's arms before she could react. Her face was almost buried in Huo Nanxiao's chest.

"Ouch, it hurts..." Xia Ningxi groaned in pain.

Her movement caused her to collide directly with Huo Nanxiao's ribs.

This guy is really tough; he knocked Xia Ningxi so hard she saw stars.

The driver was terrified and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, there's a car running a red light ahead."

Huo Nanxiao's sharp gaze swept over the car that had run a red light in the distance. The other car had already driven far, far away. Fortunately, the three sleeping little ones were all wearing seat belts and were not in any danger. They were sleeping very soundly at the moment.

All three children were fine, but Xia Ningxi, who was in my arms, was whimpering, probably because she was hurt from the impact.

Huo Nanxiao looked down at Xia Ningxi in his arms and asked, "Are you hurt?"

Xia Ningxi covered her forehead and climbed out of Huo Nanxiao's arms, shaking her head: "I'm fine."

"Why is your forehead red?" Huo Nanxiao noticed Xia Ningxi's red forehead and frowned slightly.

Xia Ningxi said, "You're too stubborn."

Huo Nanxiao took a closer look. Fortunately, there was no broken skin, and it should be fine after some rest.

"Fasten your seatbelts," Huo Nanxiao reminded him.

Xia Ningxi probably hit her head and was unresponsive, so Huo Nanxiao had to fasten her seatbelt himself.

The two were already very close, and when Huo Nanxiao got so close, he was practically pressed against Xia Ningxi. She stiffened and didn't dare to move, but Huo Nanxiao didn't realize how close they were. He continued to fasten Xia Ningxi's seatbelt. Just as Huo Nanxiao was about to leave Xia Ningxi, his lips accidentally touched the corner of her lips.

Xia Ningxi was startled and subconsciously shrank back, but there was a seat behind her and nowhere to retreat. She could only look innocently at Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao's ears turned red. He realized that he had accidentally kissed Xia Ningxi's lips. The soft touch was wonderful.

Seeing Xia Ningxi's eagerness to avoid him, Huo Nanxiao immediately pretended to know nothing and left Xia Ningxi in a serious manner.

He didn't speak.

Seeing Huo Nanxiao acting as if nothing had happened, Xia Ningxi couldn't help but think to herself: You just kissed me, are you blind?

Huo Nanxiao showed no intention of explaining or apologizing, silently gazing at the scenery outside the window.

Xia Ningxi grew angrier and angrier, until her teeth were itching with anger. When she got home, she didn't say a word to Huo Nanxiao and got out of the car in a huff.

She didn't hold any of her three children.

"Young Master Huo, it seems that the young mistress is angry." Lu Qi could tell at a glance that Xia Ningxi was angry, but he didn't know why she was angry. She was fine when she got into the car just now.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Yes, he's angry."

Huo Nanxiao turned around and went to hug the sleeping child.

The three little ones were sleeping soundly. Huo Nanxiao couldn't carry all three children back at once. He originally wanted to pick up Huo Yuan, but after thinking about it, he decided to pick up Xia Chuchu instead, and instructed Lu Qi and the butler behind him: "Take the two young masters back."

"Okay." The two said in unison.

After Huo Nanxiao brought Xia Chuchu home, he put her on the sofa to rest.

Since they would be having dinner soon, Huo Nanxiao didn't plan to send the three little ones to their room to rest, fearing they might go to bed too early and get up at 2 a.m. to go clubbing.

As soon as Huo Nanxiao put the sleeping Chu Chu down, the little one was woken up by the glaring light. Chu Chu opened her big eyes groggily, and when she saw Huo Nanxiao, her pupils dilated instantly, and she was greatly frightened.

"Ah!" Chu Chu exclaimed in surprise, and without thinking, she slapped Huo Nanxiao across the face with her chubby little hand.

Huo Nanxiao was completely stunned by the blow.

He stared in disbelief at the frightened little girl in front of him, the exquisitely beautiful girl glaring at him fiercely with her big, grape-like eyes.

"You big bad guy, why are you so close to me?" Chu Chu asked in her childish voice.

Huo Nanxiao was a little angry. He had kindly taken Chu Chu home, and this little girl woke up without saying thank you. Instead, she slapped him as soon as she opened her eyes and called him a big bad guy.

Huo Nanxiao said with a livid face, "I carried you home."

When Chu Chu turned around, she saw her two older brothers groggily getting up, startled awake by her scream.

The triplets all looked completely bewildered.

Huo Nanxiao wanted to get angry, but seeing how small Chu Chu was, he couldn't very well take it out on a little girl, even if she had hit him. So Huo Nanxiao simply called Xia Ningxi over.

"Take care of your own child!" Huo Nanxiao snapped at Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi said, "What's wrong with hitting you? You're so petty. Is it really necessary to get angry at a little girl?"

Huo Nanxiao's lips twitched. Was this just a matter of hitting her once? And Chu Chu even slapped her face! If it were his own child, it would be one thing, but he let Xia Ningxi's illegitimate daughter with another man slap him. Wouldn't people laugh him to death if word got out?

Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "You've already learned to hit people at such a young age, just like you."

Xia Ningxi said, "What do you mean by 'like me'? Explain yourself clearly. Are you going to hit me? Isn't that just like you?"

"How could your child with someone else possibly resemble me?" Huo Nanxiao questioned sharply.

Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to talk to Huo Nanxiao.
