Chapter 424 Chuchu is four years old

On the way home, Huo Nanxiao's eyes were always on Xia Ningxi and the children.

Xingxing and Chuchu seemed to really like their older brother Huo Yuan, and they gave all their prizes to him, being very generous. Although Huo Yuan didn't participate in the competition, he was very happy when he received the prizes.

These three little guys are quite adorable.

Huo Nanxiao's gaze softened as he looked at them.

"We're eating out tonight. What do you three little ones want to eat?" Huo Nanxiao asked, deciding to treat the three kids well.

Chu Chu said, "I want a strawberry cake, is that okay?"

"Okay," Huo Nanxiao agreed.

Xingxing said, "I want to eat grilled squid."

"Okay, no problem. What would you like to eat, A-Yuan?" Huo Nanxiao asked again.

Huo Yuan thought for a moment and replied, "I want to eat steak."

Huo Nanxiao laughed. These three little guys were really eating quite a lot. It was really difficult to find a restaurant with Western food, barbecue and desserts. Fortunately, the capital city was a very prosperous place. Huo Nanxiao drove around the city and finally stopped in front of a particularly luxurious restaurant.

A group of hostesses were already waiting at the restaurant entrance.

The manager quickly went to greet Huo Nanxiao after his car came to a stop.

"Hello, Mr. Huo, hello, young masters." The manager greeted them very warmly.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Arrange a private room for me, one with a window."

"Young Master Fu is here today. Would President Huo like to go and see him?" the manager asked.

Huo Nanxiao raised an eyebrow: "They're eating here too?"

"Young Master Fu and a few friends are having coffee in Section B," the manager replied.

Huo Nanxiao: "Then there's no need to bother him."

The manager understood Huo Nanxiao's meaning and led him to a private room on the sixth floor.

Dinner was plentiful, featuring all the children's favorite dishes. The three little ones were very happy, eating until their little bellies were full and their faces were all bruised from the food.

Huo Nanxiao found the child rather cute and asked the waiter to bring a hot towel to wipe the child's cheeks.

After dinner, Huo Nanxiao was about to take Xia Ningxi and the children home when he received a call from Fu Xiyu.

Huo Nanxiao was somewhat surprised, only to find out after the call connected that Fu Xiyu and Xia Wanwan were also in the mall.

"Are you free? Come over for a coffee," Fu Xiyu invited.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I'm taking care of the children."

"Aren't you nearby? Why don't you bring your kids along to play? It'll help boost the popularity of the new store."

Fu Xiyu sent another location to Huo Nanxiao, which was only a little over 100 meters away, very close.

Huo Nanxiao hung up the phone and looked at Xia Ningxi with a serious expression: "Fu Xiyu has arranged to meet me in a while. You'll come with me."

"Isn't that inappropriate? I'll take the child home first, you go by yourself," Xia Ningxi said.

Huo Nanxiao: "No need, he's nearby. I'll just sit for a while and then go back. It won't waste too much time."

"Okay..." Xia Ningxi reluctantly agreed.

After paying the bill, Huo Nanxiao took the three children through the mall to the coffee shop.

Fu Xiyu was quite extravagant; his coffee shop was even bigger than a hotel, complete with private rooms and a viewing area.

The private room was large and occupied by several people, all of whom were friends of Xia Wanwan.

Xia Wanwan had been recuperating at home, and they didn't dare to bother her. Now that they could sit together, drink coffee, and chat, everyone felt exceptionally good.

Upon hearing that Huo Nanxiao was coming, Song Yan smiled and said, "Wanwan, is Young Master Huo really coming so late?"

"Probably. Young Master Fu has already called him and he's on his way," Xia Wanwan replied.

Song Yan said, "That's great, I've admired Young Master Huo for a long time."

Ji Feibai retorted, "Why do you admire him? Do you like him? Then you're going to be disappointed. Nan Xiao is not someone you can even dream of."

Song Yan said, "I know, everyone knows that Wanwan will marry into the Huo family in the future. I'm not stupid, would I dare to compete with Wanwan for her?"

"Alright, this is something that's barely even started, and it's already being brought up." Xia Wanwan interrupted Song Yan.

Song Yan said, "What do you mean by 'not even close to being settled'? You're the Huo family's recognized eldest daughter-in-law, who would dare to compete with you for her?"

In Song Yan's mind, although Xia Wanwan and Huo Nanxiao did not officially register their marriage, they were already recognized as a couple, and everyone had always thought so for so many years.

Of course, this has to do without Xia Ningxi herself.

No sooner had Song Yan finished speaking than the door to the private room was pushed open, and Huo Nanxiao walked in with a very cold and beautiful woman.

That beauty was stunningly beautiful even without makeup. She had a small, delicate face with exceptionally good skin, and her exquisite features were captivating. Her long, black hair cascaded over her shoulders. Despite not having done anything, her beauty was so striking that it instilled a sense of crisis in people.

Such a beautiful woman is extremely rare.

Song Yan couldn't help but glance at Xia Wanwan, a hint of worry rising in her heart.

Xia Wanwan was also very surprised when she saw Xia Ningxi. She thought that only Huo Nanxiao had come, but she did not expect that Xia Ningxi would also be there.

But soon, to Xia Wanwan's even greater surprise, there were three children standing next to Xia Ningxi, two of whom looked exactly like Huo Nanxiao.

call--

Xia Wanwan's heart skipped a beat.

Fu Xiyu hadn't expected Huo Nanxiao to bring his whole family. Glancing at Xia Wanwan's feigned calm face, Fu Xiyu coughed lightly to ease the awkward atmosphere.

"Nan Xiao, Dr. Xia, you're here. Please have a seat. Would you like something to drink?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "Coffee bar, and a few glasses of juice for the kids."

Fu Xiyu called the waiter over and casually asked Xia Ningxi, "Dr. Xia, what would you like to drink?"

"A glass of mango juice," Xia Ningxi said.

Fu Xiyu ordered a lot of snacks and fruit platters and handed the menu to the waiter.

Ji Feibai moved closer to Xia Ningxi: "Dr. Xia, it's been a long time."

"Hello, Mr. Ji." Xia Ningxi greeted him politely.

Ji Feibai said, "Who is this little girl? She looks unfamiliar."

Chu Chu raised her little face and said in a childish voice, "Uncle, my name is Xia Chu Chu, you can just call me Chu Chu."

"How old are you?" Ji Feibai asked with a smile.

Chu Chu said sweetly, "I'm four years old this year."

What was just a casual remark from the young girl caused Huo Nanxiao to frown. His hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and a deep gloom settled in the depths of his dark eyes.

Huo Nanxiao didn't say a word, just listened quietly.

Little Chuchu didn't notice anything amiss and was still chatting with Ji Feibai.

Ji Feibai also noticed that Chu Chu was a bit old, and asked Xingxing curiously, "A Yuan, how old are you?"

"I'm also four years old, but I'm not Huo Yuan, my name is Xia Xingxing," Xingxing said very seriously.

Ji Feibai tapped his head: "Ouch, look at my eyes, I can't even tell you two apart."

Huo Yuan said, "Uncle Ji, I am Huo Yuan."

Ji Feibai laughed and said, "I know, he's Xia Xingxing, so you must be Huo Yuan. Why have you gotten so thin? You've become a picky eater, haven't you?"

“I’m not a picky eater,” Huo Yuan explained.

Ji Feibai said, "That means you haven't eaten enough. You're still young and need to grow, so you must eat more. Here, Uncle has some candy, have a few more."

He grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into Huo Yuan's hand, and also gave Xingxing and Chuchu a handful.

Xingxing smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle."

"Uncle, have one too." The adorable Chu Chu handed the first candy she had peeled to Ji Feibai.

Ji Feibai was flattered. He didn't like sweets, but how could he refuse the candy offered by Chu Chu when faced with such a cute and adorable little girl?

Without saying a word, Ji Feibai was about to take the candy that Chu Chu had peeled when a large hand suddenly snatched the candy from Chu Chu's hand. He looked closely and saw that it was Huo Nanxiao. This guy actually snatched the candy that Chu Chu had handed him right in front of him.

"Nan Xiao, you're being too stingy. That was peeled for me by that little girl," Ji Feibai complained.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Aren't you allergic to mangoes? Aren't you afraid they'll poison you?"

“It tastes like grapes,” Ji Feibai explained.

Huo Nanxiao: "Is there a difference?"

Ji Feibai's lips twitched. Could there be anyone more unreasonable than Huo Nanxiao?

"I can't be bothered with you." Ji Feibai angrily sat back down.

Xia Wanwan saw the three children sitting side by side next to Huo Nanxiao, pushed the wheelchair forward, and said with a smile, "Ning Xi, have some fruit."

"Okay." Xia Ningxi replied with a single word.

Xia Wanwan asked, "Are you guys going out together tonight?"

Xia Ningxi hesitated for a moment, unsure how to answer.

Xingxing, on the other hand, enthusiastically told Xia Wanwan, "Yes, my sister and I won first place in the kindergarten competition today. Daddy said he would reward us, so he took us out for a big meal."

"That's amazing." Xia Wanwan smiled gently.

Her gaze shifted from the two little ones to Huo Yuan.

Xia Wanwan's feelings for this child were different from her feelings for the other children, because Huo Yuan was registered under Xia Wanwan's name, and legally, Huo Yuan was actually Xia Wanwan's child.

Xia Wanwan gently asked Huo Yuan, "Where's A-Yuan? Did he participate in the competition today?"

"I...I..." Huo Yuan was so nervous that he didn't know how to answer.

Xingxing held Huo Yuan's hand and replied, "Brother Huo Yuan is a cheerleader today. He's amazing. He kept cheering for me and my sister. If it weren't for Brother Huo Yuan's hard work, we wouldn't have won."

Upon hearing Xingxing's words, Huo Yuan's dull eyes brightened. Filled with confidence because of his brother's words, he said to Xia Wanwan, "I'm a cheerleader, and I've been working very hard to cheer on my younger brother and sister."

"Good boy, you are very good." Xia Wanwan reached out and ruffled Huo Yuan's hair.

Huo Yuan instinctively dodged.

Xia Wanwan smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuan stopped dodging and carefully let Xia Wanwan touch his head, but his eyes remained fixed on Xia Ningxi.

He was afraid his mother would be angry.
