Chapter 411 Don't Force Me to Use Force

Xia Wanwan was still immersed in joy and was completely unaware of Huo Nanxiao's suppressed anger. She carefully examined the gemstone necklace and was so happy that she was about to put it on right then and there when a large hand suddenly reached out and snatched the gemstone necklace away.

Xia Wanwan looked in the direction of the large hand and saw Huo Nanxiao with a gloomy face, looking like he was about to kill someone.

"Nan Xiao, what's wrong?" Xia Wanwan asked, puzzled.

Huo Nanxiao said, "This necklace doesn't suit you."

“I think it’s great. Ning Xi has excellent taste. I really like it,” Xia Wanwan explained.

"If you like it, I'll have someone send a new one over tomorrow. This necklace isn't suitable, so I'll keep it for now."

Huo Nanxiao took the necklace directly. Xia Wanwan wanted to stop him, but seeing Huo Nanxiao's gloomy face, she could only swallow the words she was about to say.

With guests all around, Xia Wanwan couldn't let them just stand there watching, so she told the waiters to take them to the dance floor to drink and have fun.

As for Xia Wanwan, after exchanging a few words with Ji Feibai and the others, she pulled Xia Ningxi aside and wouldn't let her leave, insisting that Xia Ningxi stay and sit for a while longer.

"Ning Xi, you must be exhausted from working so hard. There's plenty of food here, have something to eat to replenish your energy." Xia Wanwan's voice was very gentle.

Xia Ningxi said, "Thank you, but I'm not hungry. I have something to do and need to leave."

"Are you worried about the children? It's okay, someone will take good care of them. It's fine to go back a little later. Your father said he wanted to see you today. After he's done with his work, you two can sit down and have a good chat."

Xia Wanwan acted like a caring older sister, holding Xia Ningxi's hand and gently reminding her.

To be honest, Xia Ningxi even suspected that she and her brother were not Xia Wenhe's biological children, otherwise how could Xia Wenhe have ignored her and her brother for so many years?

Over the years, this family has risen through the ranks thanks to Huo Nanxiao, living in a mansion and driving luxury cars, while Xia Jingcheng... lives in a dilapidated old house outside the city, working four jobs a day at his busiest to take care of Xia Ningxi and the children...

Xia Ningxi looked at Xia Wenhe, who was smug in the distance, and sneered: "The last person he wants to see right now is me. There's nothing to talk about."

“The Xia family has been making headlines lately, it’s not appropriate for you to leave so soon after you’ve just arrived.” Xia Wanwan looked at Xia Ningxi very seriously.

Since things had already come to this point, Xia Ningxi could only stay here a little longer.

She found an empty seat and sat down. Xia Wanwan immediately had the maid bring over a lot of fruit and snacks, and the two sat together.

Ji Feibai craned his neck, nudged Jin Mingxi with his elbow, and whispered, "Why are these two sitting together?"

"Is there a problem?" Jin Mingxi asked in return.

Ji Feibai: "Logically speaking, they should have started fighting."

“Wanwan isn’t that kind of person,” Fu Xiyu added.

Jin Mingxi raised an eyebrow and glanced at Fu Xiyu, saying, "But I think Xia Ningxi is. I heard that Li Yancheng fell for her tricks before."

A look of surprise flashed across Fu Xiyu's face.

...

Xia Ningxi sat in the corner and ate some fruit, but unfortunately she got her clothes dirty. She got up to go to the bathroom, but just as she was about to close the door, someone pulled her inside.

"Ah—" Xia Ningxi exclaimed in surprise.

Her vision blurred, and in a dizzying moment, she was pulled into a cubicle, where the door was slammed shut.

Xia Ningxi's heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly raised her head to meet a pair of dark, deep eyes.

"Huo... Huo Nanxiao?" Xia Ningxi was very surprised.

The man angrily pinched her cheek: "How dare you!"

Xia Ningxi groaned softly in pain and scolded, "Let go of me, you're hurting me."

"You still know what pain is?" Huo Nanxiao sneered.

Xia Ningxi said, "I am a human being, of course I know pain."

Huo Nanxiao questioned, "Why did you give away the things I gave you?"

“Once it’s given to me, it’s mine. Is there a problem if I give it to someone else?” Xia Ningxi didn’t intend to explain and stubbornly insisted on her point.

Huo Nanxiao was even angrier, gritting his teeth: "You must keep the things I give you. I will not allow you to give them to anyone else."

"Hmph, Young Master Huo has quite the temper and is very nosy. Why should I keep your gift? It's not anything particularly important. Once it's given, it's gone. Besides, the recipient is Xia Wanwan. Such an expensive gift didn't benefit anyone else. You should be happy." Xia Ningxi's tone was unhurried.

Her nonchalant attitude infuriated Huo Nanxiao!

In particular, the phrase "It's not anything particularly important" made Huo Nanxiao feel that Xia Ningxi had never taken his feelings seriously.

Huo Nanxiao even felt that the gift he had painstakingly chosen over several hours was like feeding a dog.

Is this damn woman trying to drive him crazy?

Enraged, Huo Nanxiao ordered Xia Ningxi to be pinned against the wall and kissed her chattering lips fiercely.

"Ugh—" Xia Ningxi struggled.

Huo Nanxiao forcefully gripped Xia Ningxi's wrist, preventing her from breaking free even slightly, and vented all his anger on this kiss.

His kisses were passionate and intense, as if he wanted to devour Xia Ningxi whole, so strong that no resistance was allowed.

Xia Ningxi thought he was completely insane!

This is the Xia family home, doesn't he have any shame?

What if the woman he loves sees it?

"Huo Nanxiao, let me go." Xia Ningxi sobbed, her lips sealed by the man's kiss, only able to utter indistinct words.

Huo Nanxiao understood, and he deepened the kiss, showing no intention of letting go of the girl.

Xia Ningxi could only bite him.

"uh-huh."

The man let out a low groan, his eyes instantly darkening. He tightened his grip on Xia Ningxi's waist, pulling the petite woman's delicate body into his arms, and then lowered his head to bite her fair and smooth shoulder.

"Ah!" Xia Ningxi cried out in pain.

Huo Nanxiao saw tears welling up in her eyes before he finally released her, his voice full of vengeance: "Do you still dare to bite me?"

"Are you a dog?" Xia Ningxi yelled through her tears, this guy's bites hurt terribly.

Huo Nanxiao domineeringly lifted Xia Ningxi's chin, "Now you know it hurts? You didn't even blink when you were giving the gift to someone else."

"I gave it to myself, why are you so nosy about it?" Xia Ningxi retorted.

Huo Nanxiao bit her again, turning her pink lips red.

Xia Ningxi was both angry and anxious, and she cursed loudly, "Are you a hooligan?!"

"If you keep swearing, I won't hesitate to become even more of a scoundrel," Huo Nanxiao threatened.

Xia Ningxi's hands were restrained by him, and she was pulled into his arms. She couldn't escape even if she wanted to. Knowing that she couldn't beat Huo Nanxiao in her current situation, she said angrily, "I'm too lazy to argue with you. I don't like that necklace, and I don't want to spend money to buy Xia Wanwan a gift, so I just gave it to her. Is that not allowed?"

"No, you must keep the things I give you, even if they break or get damaged. This is the first time, so I won't hold it against you. But if I find out a second time, don't blame me for being ruthless," Huo Nanxiao threatened.

Xia Ningxi felt that he was somewhat seriously ill.

He bought the gift. That necklace must be worth eight figures in the market. He loves Xia Wanwan so much, he wouldn't be angry just because he gave her a necklace, would he?

Xia Ningxi didn't understand, but seeing how angry Huo Nanxiao was, as if he might eat her up at any moment, she had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, I understand. You can let me go now."

"Can't."

Huo Nanxiao refused very decisively.

Xia Ningxi said, "What else do you want to do?"

Huo Nanxiao took out the necklace and wanted to put it on Xia Ningxi himself.

Without thinking, she took two steps back.

Huo Nanxiao's face darkened: "What are you hiding for?"

"I won't wear it," Xia Ningxi refused firmly.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Don't force me to use force."

“I’ve already given it away, so I won’t wear it anymore.” Xia Ningxi’s attitude was very firm.

Huo Nanxiao angrily cupped Xia Ningxi's cheeks: "I told you, don't cross my bottom line!"

"Anyway, I don't want it." Xia Ningxi simply refused to accept it.

Huo Nanxiao was so angry that he bit her again.

He was particularly wicked, deliberately biting Xia Ningxi's neck, leaving two rows of bright red teeth marks that were very conspicuous.

He looked at the ambiguous marks on Xia Ningxi's neck and sneered, "If I don't see this necklace when we get back, you won't need to get out of bed anymore."

Xia Ningxi's cheeks flushed red, and her ears instantly turned crimson. She was filled with shame and indignation. "What nonsense are you spouting!"

The man's large hands held her waist possessively, his hard chest pressed against her soft body, so domineering that he could almost meld her into the deepest part of his body...

"I mean what I say."

These five words were whispered into Xia Ningxi's earlobe.

The man's breath sprayed against Xia Ningxi's ear, sending shivers down her spine. His heavy breathing was especially noticeable in the cramped bathroom.

For some reason, there was an inexplicable ambiguity.

Xia Ningxi's cheeks were burning hot. She tremblingly cursed Huo Nanxiao as a "bastard," but he left a hickey on her chest, making Xia Ningxi breathless with anger. However, she was no match for Huo Nanxiao and had no way to deal with him.

Xia Ningxi was extremely frustrated.

"Young Master Huo, are you inside?" Lu Qi's voice suddenly came from outside.

Huo Nanxiao frowned: "What is it?"

"Miss Wanwan is looking for you," Lu Qi replied.

Huo Nanxiao: "I'll be there in a bit."

"Okay." Lu Qi left.

Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes and said to the woman, "My car is in the parking lot. Message me when you're going back, and I'll take you home."

He forcefully stuffed the necklace he had taken from Xia Wanwan into Xia Ningxi's bag, gave her the car keys as well, and then turned and left.

Xia Ningxi didn't know what Huo Nanxiao meant. She found Huo Nanxiao very strange and couldn't even guess what he was thinking.

Didn't he love Xia Wanwan very much? Why did he do that to her?

Xia Ningxi walked to the mirror. There were still traces of their lovemaking on her shoulders and chest. She buttoned up her collar to cover all the marks and then splashed boiling water on her face to wake herself up completely.
