Chapter 436 Taking You Home

Chu Xinran was indignant and didn't understand why Huo Nanxiao would make such a choice. If Xia Wanwan was in danger, it was Xia Wanwan's own business, and there was no need to harm Xia Ningxi.

"This Huo Nanxiao is a complete scoundrel. If he can do something like this for Xia Wanwan today, he might do the same to her tomorrow. Ning Xi, we have to be wary of him," Chu Xinran said with great concern.

Xia Ningxi said, "I'm actually worried about that too, but right now I have no way to leave with the children."

"Why? Does the Huo family really want to keep you here?" Chu Xinran asked.

Xia Ningxi said, "What Master Huo wants are several grandsons. If he treats me very well now and treats me like a daughter-in-law, he will definitely not agree if I really want to take the child away."

Huo Nanxiao is also an extremely fickle scoundrel who does whatever he says. It would be very difficult for Xia Ningxi to take the children away under Huo Nanxiao's nose unless someone helps her.

But even if someone lends a hand, as long as Huo Nanxiao wants to investigate, no matter where Xia Ningxi hides, he will definitely find her and she won't be able to hide.

The car was parked in front of the two-story building.

Xia Jingcheng was already waiting for Xia Ningxi.

Seeing the car stop, Xia Jingcheng quickly walked out.

"Ning Xi, you're back. Are you alright? I heard you went missing last night, and I was very worried," Xia Jingcheng said.

Xia Ningxi shook her head: "I'm fine."

"That's good, that's good. You scared me to death, you know? What exactly happened? I heard that the Huo and Fu families were in a lot of chaos last night, and they sent out a lot of people. Is it related to Li Yancheng?" Xia Jingcheng pressed.

Xia Ningxi nodded: "Li Yancheng has taken Xia Wanwan away."

"He has some nerve, daring to arrest people in the capital city." Xia Jingcheng was shocked and worried at the same time: "What does this have to do with you?"

“Brother Jingcheng, you have no idea what Huo Nanxiao is like…”

Chu Xinran was about to complain when Xia Ningxi suddenly grabbed her hand, and Chu Xinran immediately shut her mouth, not daring to continue.

"Why aren't you saying anything? What did Huo Nanxiao do? Did he hurt Ning Xi? Tell me!" Xia Jingcheng was very agitated, and he pressed him seriously.

Chu Xinran immediately changed her tune: "No, it's not that. Young Master Huo didn't hurt Ning Xi. It's just that Li Yancheng, for some reason, caused trouble for Xia Wanwan and wouldn't let Ning Xi go. I don't know why he's so free. Why would he cause trouble for Ning Xi for no reason?"

Chu Xinran didn't mention a word about Xia Ningxi being thrown into the water to feed the fish by Li Yancheng, afraid that Xia Jingcheng would worry. But with such a big thing happening, it was obviously impossible to keep it all a secret. She could only say some unimportant things to put Xia Jingcheng at ease.

Xia Jingcheng's expression was very bad, and he asked Xia Ningxi in a very serious tone, "Has Li Yancheng been causing you any trouble lately?"

"Yes," Xia Ningxi nodded.

Xia Jingcheng said, "This kid really hasn't given up his wicked intentions."

"Does my brother know Li Yancheng?" Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled.

Xia Jingcheng said, "Stay away from him. No matter what Li Yancheng says, don't have any contact with him. If he causes you trouble, go directly to the higher-ups. After all, they paid to bring you back from abroad, and they can't just let Li Yancheng do nothing."

"Okay." Xia Ningxi nodded.

Xia Jingcheng said, "Since Li Yancheng has already come to you, it means this place is no longer suitable for you to stay. I suggest you go abroad first and hide overseas for a while. Huo Nanxiao and his matter are for the two of them to resolve themselves. You are innocent and should not be involved in this."

“Huo Nanxiao won’t let me go,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Xia Jingcheng said, "I will personally go to the Huo family to talk to Huo Xiuyuan about this matter. If they really are unwilling, then we don't need to give the Huo family any face! What they did back then was already too much. Now that Xia Wanwan has woken up, we don't owe them anything."

All three children are yours. No matter what, I will do everything in my power to get them back for you.

Xia Jingcheng decided to personally negotiate with the Huo family.

Because of Li Yancheng's presence, Xia Jingcheng dared not linger in the country any longer, knowing that as long as Xia Ningxi remained in the capital, Li Yancheng would eventually find her.

If Li Yancheng can target Xia Wanwan today, he can target Xia Ningxi tomorrow.

Xia Ningxi went back to her room and took a nap. When it was time, she got up to pick up her child from kindergarten.

The three little ones were sullen and listless all day, and didn't pay attention in class. Their kindergarten teacher thought they were sick and looked unwell. But when they saw Xia Ningxi, their eyes lit up instantly, and they ran towards her as fast as they could, completely shaking off their previous dejection.

"Mommy!"

"Mommy, Mommy!"

"You're finally here! We missed Mommy so much!"

The three little ones were very excited and buried themselves in Xia Ningxi's arms.

Xia Ningxi was almost knocked over by the three enthusiastic little ones, and she smiled as she hugged the three children, saying, "Slow down."

"Little sister, Mommy has a wound on her shoulder, don't hurt her wound," Xingxing reminded her.

The little girl who had rushed into Xia Ningxi's arms immediately took two steps back. "I'm sorry, Mommy, I forgot you were injured. Did I hurt you?"

"No, Mommy is much better now." Xia Ningxi smiled slightly.

Huo Yuan asked, "Did Mommy come alone? Where's Daddy?"

“Your daddy has to go to work and is very busy, so he doesn’t have time to pick you up. That’s why I came,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Huo Yuan looked around and was very disappointed when he realized that Huo Nanxiao was not there. "Daddy clearly said that he would come to pick me up from home every day. Why didn't he come today? He didn't keep his word."

“Your daddy has to work to earn money, and he has a lot of difficulties. He must really want to pick A-Yuan up from school every day. He still loves A-Yuan very much. I just happened to be free today, so I suggested that I come pick you up myself. Does A-Yuan not like Mommy?” Xia Ningxi asked cautiously.

Huo Yuan immediately shook his head: "No, I love Mommy very much."

"That's right, let's go home. Don't think too much. We'll go to Mommy's house tonight. Uncle has prepared a big meal for you." Xia Ningxi buttoned up Huo Yuan's clothes.

Huo Yuan was overjoyed to hear that they were going back to Xia Ningxi's home. He immediately took his younger siblings' hands and happily followed Xia Ningxi into the car.

Xia Jingcheng adored the three little ones and knew what they liked to eat. When Xia Ningxi returned home, Xia Jingcheng had already prepared the meal.

"uncle!"

The three little ones called out sweetly.

Xia Jingcheng said with a smile, "You're back. Go wash your hands, it's time to eat."

"good."

Xia Ningxi took the children to wash their hands.

When I came out, the food had already been served.

These are all foods that children love to eat, and they were overjoyed.

Xia Jingcheng didn't show favoritism and put a chicken leg in everyone's bowl.

"Let's eat." He smiled very kindly.

Xingxing said, "It's been so long since I've had Uncle's cooking. Uncle's cooking is still the best."

"The Huo family's chefs should be quite good. Did you not eat well at the Huo family's restaurant?" Xia Jingcheng asked worriedly.

Xingxing said, "It's different. Uncle's cooking is the best in the world! No one else can compare!"

These words made Xia Jingcheng very happy. In his joy, he put the chicken leg that was originally meant for Xia Ningxi into Xingxing's bowl: "Since you like my cooking so much, I'll reward you with another chicken leg."

"Wow, thank you, Uncle!" Xingxing was very happy.

Xia Ningxi complained, "There are only four chicken drumsticks. Where are mine?"

“It’s the same whether you eat chicken wings or not.” Xia Jingcheng put a chicken wing on Xia Ningxi’s plate.

Xia Ningxi pouted, her face full of displeasure: "I'm angry."

Xia Jingcheng laughed and said, "How old are you? You're still acting like a child."

He shared one of Xingxing's chicken legs with Xia Ningxi.

The stars blinked.

“Come on, Xingxing, have some chicken wings,” Xia Jingcheng said.

Xingxing wasn't angry; she smiled and shared her other chicken leg with Xia Ningxi.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Xia Ningxi asked in confusion, "Who is it?"

"I'll go take a look." Xia Jingcheng put down his chopsticks, got up, and went to open the door.

Standing outside the door was a man in a black suit. He seemed to have just finished get off work, as his car was still parked at the door.

"Huo Nanxiao? What are you doing here?" Xia Jingcheng didn't have a friendly attitude towards him.

Huo Nanxiao asked, "I just went to pick up my child from kindergarten, and the teacher told me that Ning Xi took the child away. Are they with you?"

“They’re with me. They won’t be going back tonight, you can leave now.” Xia Jingcheng’s attitude was anything but friendly.

Huo Nanxiao glanced around the room; the family was eating. He said, "Since you're here, you don't mind if I mooch a meal, do you?"

"My family is poor and we have no food to offer you."

Xia Jingcheng's disdain was written all over his face.

Huo Nanxiao said, "It's alright, I don't mind."

He forced the door open and went inside.

Xia Jingcheng felt that he was somewhat shameless, having done something to hurt Ning Xi and still having the nerve to come over for a meal!

Xia Jingcheng left an empty bowl and chopsticks on the table, too lazy to even serve him food. He truly had no patience for Huo Nanxiao.

The three little ones also consciously shifted their positions to make room for Huo Nanxiao when he arrived.

Huo Nanxiao, however, sat down directly next to Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at him: "There are empty seats across the way, sit over there."

The man remained unmoved.

Xia Ningxi gripped her chopsticks tightly, ignoring him.

Huo Nanxiao asked, "Why didn't you tell me you picked up the child?"

"There's no need." Xia Ningxi said coldly.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I waited at the kindergarten gate for half an hour."

"And then?" Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at him again.

Huo Nanxiao: "After you've finished eating, I'll pick you up and take you back to Lanyuan."

"No need, I live in my own home, and the children want to live with me too." She refused without hesitation. She didn't want to go home with Huo Nanxiao; who knew if Huo Nanxiao would continue to harm her?
