Chapter 427 Why Humiliate Me

They all knew what kind of person Li Yancheng was.

Will Xia Wanwan have a good ending after falling into Li Yancheng's hands?

Ji Feibai said angrily, "How could you let Li Yancheng take the person away? Do you even know who Li Yancheng is before you dared to hand him over?"

"Don't they know each other?" Song Yan had no idea how much they knew and hadn't even considered the complicated possibilities.

Ji Feibai said, "Knowing him is one thing, but Li Yancheng is no good. Forget it, since he's not in your hands, I won't waste any more words."

He hung up the phone and turned to Huo Nanxiao, saying, "The person is already in Li Yancheng's hands, what do we do?"

"I'll arrange for people to track them down right away," Fu Xiyu ordered his subordinates.

Huo Nanxiao knew that Li Yancheng had taken Xia Wanwan away because he was after him.

Huo Nanxiao, who had originally planned to take the child home, handed the car keys to Xia Ningxi, saying, "You can take the child home tonight."

“Okay.” Xia Ningxi did not refuse.

Xingxing pressed on, "Didn't Daddy promise to come home with us?"

"I still have some things to take care of here, so you guys go back first. I'll come home to be with you after I've taken care of these things," Huo Nanxiao explained patiently.

"Uncle Ji and Uncle Fu are both here. The two of them should be enough to find Xia Wanwan, right? Is Daddy going to abandon us?"

Xingxing looked at Huo Nanxiao pitifully, her big eyes blinking as if she was about to cry.

Huo Nanxiao felt uneasy. He had promised the child, and it wouldn't be right to leave like this. Huo Nanxiao could only turn his gaze to Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi knew he was definitely going to find Xia Wanwan, so she didn't stop him.

"I'll take the child back." Her voice was clear and pleasant.

Xingxing looked dissatisfied: "Mommy, I want Daddy to take me."

"Stop fooling around." Xia Ningxi said very seriously.

Xingxing pouted, her face full of displeasure.

Huo Nanxiao was worried about Xia Wanwan, so he gave Xia Ningxi a few words of advice and then left in a hurry.

Ji Feibai and Fu Xiyu also left with Huo Nanxiao, and soon only Xia Ningxi and the three children remained.

Xingxing finally couldn't hold back anymore: "Mommy, why did you make Daddy leave? What does Xia Wanwan's disappearance have to do with us? Why is Daddy getting involved? I really don't understand. In Daddy's heart, are we not as important as Xia Wanwan?"

He was so angry; his tiny cheeks were puffed up with rage, almost swollen into a ball.

Chu Chu also joined her brother in getting angry: "He's a jerk."

“Yes, he’s a jerk,” Xingxing replied angrily.

Xia Ningxi said, "Okay, okay, don't be angry anymore. It's getting dark, we really should go home and rest. Don't think too much about it, be good and get in the car."

The three children reluctantly got into the car and followed Xia Ningxi back to Lanyuan.

Knowing that Xia Ningxi was injured, the nanny took the child to take a bath.

Huo Nanxiao wasn't home, so they conscientiously put the children to sleep.

Xia Ningxi returned to her bedroom, took out her first-aid kit, sprayed some medicine on herself, and applied a new ointment before she felt a little better.

Fortunately, the children were well-behaved and didn't bother Xia Ningxi. She tossed and turned in bed, but for some reason, she wasn't sleepy at all.

The clock on the wall was ticking away, and the dark sky was covered with heavy clouds; it looked like it was about to rain.

Xia Ningxi got up to close the window, but the cold wind made her shiver. She checked the time; it was already eleven o'clock. Huo Nanxiao hadn't returned yet, and she didn't know if he had rescued Xia Wanwan.

"It has nothing to do with me, why should I worry about it so much?" Xia Ningxi suddenly felt that she was meddling in other people's business. After giving a wry smile, she went back to bed, hugged a pillow, and tried to sleep, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

My phone keeps vibrating, and I don't know who's messaging me. It's so noisy!

Xia Ningxi couldn't sleep, so she picked up her phone and checked it, only to find a bunch of unfamiliar text messages. But the phone number belonged to Li Yancheng...

Why is this lunatic texting himself in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

Xia Ningxi felt that Li Yancheng was a bit off. She opened the message and saw that this guy had actually invited her out for a late-night snack. What was wrong with him?

"You haven't been dealt with yet?" Xia Ningxi replied with a message.

Given Huo Nanxiao's fiery temper, it's impossible for him not to get angry after Li Yancheng took away his beloved Xia Wanwan; it's impossible for him not to fight with Li Yancheng.

Li Yancheng: "Are you talking about Huo Nanxiao?"

Xia Ningxi did not reply to the text message.

Less than two minutes later, Li Yancheng added, "He wouldn't dare touch me."

"..." Xia Ningxi was speechless.

She didn't want to talk to Li Yancheng, so she threw her phone aside and closed her eyes to sleep.

My phone kept ringing. I don't know what's wrong with that bastard Li Yancheng. He keeps sending me messages. Is he out of his mind?

Xia Ningxi was extremely irritable. She pulled the blanket over her head and couldn't hear anything anymore.

Li Yancheng waited for a long time but didn't get a reply from Xia Ningxi. He got angry, his face turned cold, and he threw his phone on the table.

"What's wrong?" Xia Wanwan sat opposite Li Yancheng, looking puzzled.

Li Yancheng said, "It's nothing."

"Judging from your expression, you must have been upset by someone, right?" Xia Wanwan said with a smile.

Li Yancheng replied, "There was a pig that wouldn't listen to me, and it really made me angry."

"Do you still raise pigs?" Xia Wanwan asked, puzzled.

Li Yancheng: "Someone else's pig."

"I understand." Xia Wanwan belatedly realized what was going on. She looked at the scenery by the sea and thought it was quite nice. She said, "The scenery here is really beautiful."

Li Yancheng said, "Indeed, the sea view of the capital city is one of the best in the world, especially in recent years, it has changed a lot. Has Huo Nanxiao never taken you to see it?"

“I’m not in good health, and he hopes I can stay home and recuperate,” Xia Wanwan answered truthfully.

Li Yancheng said, "I thought he would take you home to live directly, but I didn't expect him to send you back to his own home. Aren't you angry?"

"Nan Xiao and I aren't married, so it wouldn't be appropriate for us to live together. I think this is just right," Xia Wanwan explained.

Li Yancheng sneered: "What man would be willing to let the woman he loves be so far away from him?"

One sentence directly hit Xia Wanwan's inner wound. She smiled slightly, trying to suppress the pain in her heart, and said, "You don't understand what happened between Nan Xiao and me."

"I really don't understand, where does your charm come from that he's been waiting for you for so many years?" Li Yancheng asked with interest.

Xia Wanwan said, "You seem very interested in our affairs?"

"That's right. If Huo Nanxiao truly loved you, he wouldn't have had a child with Xia Ningxi. So I'm very curious, what exactly did he see in you? Was it your past gentleness and thoughtfulness, or your understanding nature?"

Li Yancheng looked Xia Wanwan up and down several times. Although she had been sick for a long time and looked haggard, her facial features were still clearly visible. Xia Wanwan was actually a pretty girl, but she was far inferior to Xia Ningxi.

Is Huo Nanxiao blind or just plain stupid? How could he possibly like Xia Wanwan?

Li Yancheng really couldn't figure out what it was about this woman that he liked.

Xia Wanwan was unwilling to offer any explanation for the matter, only replying, "There's no reason to like someone."

Li Yancheng sneered: "I heard that Huo Nanxiao agreed to marry you only because you saved him back then?"

"No, that's not true." Xia Wanwan denied.

Li Yancheng sneered: "Huo Nanxiao has no feelings for you at all. He only agreed to marry you because he mistakenly believed that you saved his life back then. Xia Wanwan, others may not know what happened, but as the person involved, don't you know?"

The man's clear voice suddenly turned extremely cold. His calm eyes were clearly clean and empty, but for some reason, they gave people an indescribable sense of terror.

Xia Wanwan was also stunned by Li Yancheng's words. She opened her eyes wide in astonishment and said tremblingly, "What... what do you mean by that?"

"Heh, have you really forgotten what happened back then? Impossible." Li Yancheng sneered.

Xia Wanwan said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

"The reason Huo Nanxiao agreed to marry you was entirely because he thought you were the one who saved him back then, not because he loved you. Xia Wanwan, don't you know in your heart whether you saved Huo Nanxiao back then or not?" Li Yancheng asked, word by word.

Xia Wanwan bit her lip, her eyes flickering.

Li Yancheng: "Can't answer? Then let me tell you, okay? It wasn't you who rescued him from my hands back then. Tell me, if Huo Nanxiao knew about this, would he still marry you? I think he would throw you away like trash, right?"

"Li Yancheng, did you invite me here today just to say these things?" Xia Wanwan suddenly regretted coming here.

Li Yancheng said, "Of course not."

"Then what exactly do you mean by all this?" Xia Wanwan questioned.

Li Yancheng said, "If I were you, I'd have to be a little more shameful."

"I don't remember what happened back then, why are you telling me this? My affairs with Nan Xiao are none of your business."

Xia Wanwan got angry, her attitude changed, and even her tone of voice became very harsh.

Li Yancheng smiled slightly: "I thought you were a person with a strong bottom line. It seems I misunderstood you. You are quite clever. You know how to use Xia Ningxi, seize her child, and use her as a stepping stone to your rise to power. Since that's the case, why don't we cooperate? I will let you sit firmly in the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. In return, you will kick Xia Ningxi and her children out of the house. How about that?"

Xia Wanwan felt humiliated and was filled with shame and indignation: "Li Yancheng, I didn't use anyone, nor did I intend to hurt Xia Ningxi and the child. Why are you humiliating me?"

"Heh, don't you know what kind of person you are?"

Li Yancheng dropped the pretense and began to mock him without any restraint.
