Chapter 447 Coming for Xia Ningxi

The battle shifted directly from Huo Nanxiao to Xia Wanwan.

Xia Wanwan, who had been all tolerant and magnanimous, froze on the spot after hearing Xia Ningxi's words, and became extremely embarrassed.

“So that’s how it is. I didn’t expect Mr. Huo to invite you and the children to dinner. In that case, it’s really not appropriate for Chu Chu to stay here. Nan Xiao, why don’t we let Ning Xi take Chu Chu away?” Xia Wanwan suggested.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I will pick up the child tonight."

Xia Ningxi said, "Don't you want to spend some time alone with Xia Wanwan? Do you really have to bring Chu Chu along to be satisfied?"

Xia Wanwan's cheeks flushed slightly.

Huo Nanxiao was furious: "What nonsense are you talking about? I only saw Wanwan because I wanted to find her a doctor."

"So even Young Master Huo doesn't care that much about Sister Wanwan?" Xia Ningxi said sarcastically.

Huo Nanxiao said, "No matter what you do or say today, I will not let you take Chu Chu away."

Xia Ningxi clenched her fists, very angry!

Looking at Chu Chu, who was so engrossed in the pile of money that she couldn't hear what he was saying and was just happily hugging the money, he became even angrier!

"Fine, if you won't let me take Chu Chu with me, then don't blame me."

She turned around, slammed the door, and left!

A loud bang startled everyone in the conference room.

Ji Feibai said cautiously, "Nan Xiao, aren't you going to try to appease her? I feel she's very angry."

"What's it to you?" Huo Nanxiao asked unhappily.

Ji Feibai immediately fell silent.

Fu Xiyu, who had remained silent, glanced at Xia Wanwan with a solemn expression, his feelings a complex mix of emotions.

"Alright, let's get back to our previous topic." Fu Xiyu took the initiative to bring everyone back to the topic they were talking about.

Huo Nanxiao's mind wasn't on this. His sharp gaze was fixed on Xia Ningxi's departing figure. He wondered what Xia Ningxi would do if she left in such a huff. Could she be going to take the child to the Huo family to complain?

Hmph, it won't do her any good even if she goes to complain!

If the old man had known that Chu Chu was also a child of the Huo family, he would never have allowed Xia Ningxi to take the child away.

She won't be able to take any of the children away!

Huo Nanxiao curled his thin, cool lips, put one arm around the little girl, and used the other hand to help her put the money into her bag.

He was incredibly gentle with this girl, so gentle it was astonishing.

Xia Wanwan knew that Huo Nanxiao was not a person who liked children. He had been very cold towards Chu Chu before, and was only slightly gentler towards his two sons.

But for some reason, after only a few days, Xia Wanwan felt that Huo Nanxiao's attitude towards Xia Chuchu had undergone a complete 180-degree change; he suddenly became particularly fond of Chuchu...

Is this because of Xia Ningxi?

Is it because of a love-hate relationship, or something else?

Xia Wanwan's feelings were very complicated. There was not a trace of a smile on her face. No one knew how painful she was at this moment.

However, with outsiders present, Xia Wanwan dared not show any emotion, and could only manage a bitter smile in her heart.

“Nan Xiao, you’ve already helped me a lot, there’s no need to spend a lot of money to find a doctor to treat my health,” Xia Wanwan said.

Huo Nanxiao replied, "You've been taking medicine recently, but your condition hasn't improved. Perhaps it's because you're not used to the Western medicine. Switching to traditional Chinese medicine might help a lot."

"Tang En also prescribed Chinese medicine for me, but perhaps it's because my body is weak that it didn't work. I've been lying in bed for so many years, maybe I really won't be able to stand up again. It shouldn't be the doctor's fault." Xia Wanwan lowered her head in disappointment.

Fu Xiyu said, "Wanwan, you can't give up on treatment no matter what. You should listen to Nan Xiao and try another doctor."

Ji Feibai said, "But Tang En's team is among the best in the world, right? If they can't cure someone, how can others? Is it possible that the problem isn't with the doctors?"

"Is it still Wanwan's problem?" Fu Xiyu asked back.

Ji Feibai quickly shook his head: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was, could it be that taking the medicine every night isn't working?"

“Impossible,” Huo Nanxiao said. “The medicine prescribed by Tang En cannot be wrong.”

Ji Feibai nodded: "Yes, a top-notch team like this can't possibly be so incompetent."

Fu Xiyu: "No matter what, the fact that Wanwan still can't stand up after so long of treatment shows that their medical skills are limited. We should find a more skilled doctor to take a look; perhaps that will yield better results."

"Well... okay then." Xia Wanwan reluctantly agreed to their suggestion.

Xia Wanwan wasn't really that concerned about the new doctor. She watched Huo Nanxiao holding Chu Chu with a flicker in his eyes, and for some reason, she felt very conflicted. She thought she was probably being too petty, that she actually cared about Chu Chu's existence.

She's just a little girl.

She is still Xia Ningxi's child with someone else, not Nan Xiao's daughter, so there's nothing to care about.

Can……

But seeing Huo Nanxiao holding the little girl so carefully, and recalling the scene of his argument with Xia Ningxi, although Huo Nanxiao's attitude towards Xia Ningxi was very bad, Xia Wanwan could sense an unusual relationship between the two.

Later, Fu Xiyu talked to Huo Nanxiao about things related to Li Yancheng.

Fu Xiyu said, "Li Yancheng dared to abduct Wanwan so openly this time, and caused you to get injured, all because Han Musen is cleaning up his mess. These two are now in cahoots and have taken root in the capital city. They will be a big problem for us in the future."

Huo Nanxiao asked, "I heard the Fu family's business was robbed?"

"That's right. The cooperation was just agreed upon last week, and it was signed with Li Yancheng yesterday." Fu Xiyu said through gritted teeth.

Ji Feibai said, "Han Musen also stole one of my projects."

The Li family is now establishing a system that covers the entire city of the capital. Although it is said to be a cooperation with the capital to benefit everyone in the capital, it also means that because of the Li family's entry, Li Yancheng may become the biggest hegemon in the capital's internet industry.

Li Yancheng's existence has already become a threat to them.

Everyone knows why Li Yancheng came back this time.

Fu Xiyu said, "Nan Xiao, they're after you. Be careful lately and make sure to protect Wanwan."

Huo Nanxiao glanced at Xia Wanwan and replied in a deep voice, "I know."

Seeing their serious expressions, Ji Feibai smiled and said, "You don't need to worry so much. I think Li Yancheng is here for Xia Ningxi, not for Xia Wanwan, so there's no need for you to be so tense. I've also heard that Li Yancheng seems to want to pursue Xia Ningxi."

"Really?" Fu Xiyu was surprised.

Ji Feibai said, "Didn't you see the news? It's all been exposed. If you don't believe me, ask Nan Xiao. Nan Xiao knows the most!"

When Fu Xiyu turned around, Huo Nanxiao's face had turned black, looking terrifying.
