Chapter 457 Keep his woman by his side

Li Yancheng's gaze quickly shifted away after Xia Ningxi got into the car, and he appeared extremely indifferent.

"It took you so long to come out."

He was very unhappy.

Xia Ningxi said, "You're early."

"Why did you suddenly decide to accept my invitation?" Li Yancheng asked.

Xia Ningxi said, "I only agreed to be your companion to find out the truth of what happened back then. If I go, I won't find anything, so you'd better watch out."

"Hehe, you think you can kill me?" Li Yancheng found it quite amusing.

Xia Ningxi said, "You'll find out when the time comes."

Li Yancheng gave a forced smile. He knew Xia Ningxi's temper and guessed that she had prepared something that could kill him again.

This woman has absolutely no conscience when she gets physical.

Sometimes Li Yancheng didn't dare to provoke Xia Ningxi.

The charity gala was held far from Xia Ningxi's home; it took forty minutes to drive there.

Xia Ningxi didn't say a word the whole way. She sat in the seat furthest away from Li Yancheng, almost pressed against the car window, staring out the window. She didn't want to pay attention to Li Yancheng when he spoke to her.

Yao Qing, who was in the passenger seat, had been monitoring Huo Nanxiao's every move. He suddenly spoke up: "Young Master Li, the Huo family has also set off."

"Huo Nanxiao is going alone?" Li Yancheng asked.

Yao Qing said, "I brought Ye Su."

"It's strange that this guy didn't bring Xia Wanwan." Li Yancheng was very surprised.

Yao Qing said, "The Xia family also went, including Xia Wanwan and Xia Luoluo. They did not go with Huo Nanxiao."

"I see. The Xia family is quite generous with their money." Li Yancheng glanced at Xia Ningxi and said, "Learn from Xia Wanwan. Even in a wheelchair, she doesn't forget to attend charity galas. No wonder she's known as the top socialite in the capital. Look at you, you have no self-awareness at all."

"If you admire her so much, why don't you invite her to be your date?" Xia Ningxi sneered.

Li Yancheng's face stiffened; he was furious.

Xia Ningxi ignored him and continued to look at the scenery outside the window.

Li Yancheng, for some unknown reason, suddenly snapped at Yao Qing, "Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Yao Qing looked terrified and innocent. He didn't seem to have said anything, did he? Why was Young Master Li yelling at him?

Looking at Xia Ningxi and then at her own young master, Yao Qing thought, "Forget it, I'd better shut up. I deserve to be a punching bag."

We soon arrived at Louvre Cathedral.

Outside the door, there were dozens of bodyguards standing in close proximity.

Everyone must have an invitation to enter.

Logically speaking, someone of Xia Ningxi's status shouldn't be qualified to attend such a high-society banquet. So when Xia Ningxi appeared, the staff were all surprised. But when they saw Li Yancheng standing next to Xia Ningxi, they instantly understood and their attitude towards Xia Ningxi changed completely. They enthusiastically led the way.

They arrived early, and there weren't many guests yet.

Li Yancheng is now a rising star in the capital. Apart from Huo Nanxiao, he is the most influential person. Many guests can't help but come up to greet him when they see him. Many people also bring their daughters or sisters of marriageable age to introduce to Li Yancheng, but Li Yancheng politely declines them all.

Only then did the other party notice that Li Yancheng had brought a female companion.

It looks familiar!

"Isn't this Dr. Xia? What's Dr. Xia doing here?" Duan Rongrong was very surprised.

Upon hearing Xia Ningxi's name, Fu Mingyan immediately looked over. "It really is you? What brings you here? Where is Brother Nanxiao?"

Zhang Lina said, "Is that even a question? Young Master Huo must be with Xia Wanwan."

"Are you Xia Ningxi?" Zhao Jinran, who had been rejected by Li Yancheng, also came over.

Xia Ningxi immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Especially Zhao Jinran, when she saw Xia Ningxi standing with Li Yancheng, her eyes were extremely cold, as if a wife was staring at the "mistress" who had stolen her husband, and her eyes were indescribably terrifying.

Something's wrong...

Xia Ningxi had no intention of competing with anyone, and she glared at Li Yancheng.

Ignoring Xia Ningxi's reminder, Li Yancheng smiled and introduced her to everyone: "She is my date tonight, none of you are allowed to bully her."

Fu Mingyan sneered, "Xia Ningxi, weren't you with Brother Nan Xiao? How come you've become Young Master Li's companion again?"

"Is that even a question? It's obvious that Young Master Huo doesn't like Xia Ningxi, so she has to find someone else." Zhang Lina sneered.

Fu Mingyan rolled her eyes at Zhang Lina: "When did it become your place to interrupt me?"

“The Fu family is rich, but they shouldn’t be so domineering as to not let people speak, right?” Zhang Lina asked.

Fu Mingyan ignored her and angrily asked Xia Ningxi, "You still haven't answered my question. Is Brother Nanxiao with that green tea bitch?"

“I don’t know anything about Huo Nanxiao,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Fu Mingyan stomped her foot angrily: "It must be! How could you be so useless? You actually let that cripple steal Brother Nan Xiao away! I'm so angry! What's so good about that dead woman? I'm so angry!"

"..." Xia Ningxi was speechless.

Li Yancheng glanced at the jealous Fu Mingyan with disdain, too lazy to waste time with them, and said to Xia Ningxi, "Our seats are upstairs, let's go."

“Okay.” Xia Ningxi did not refuse and went upstairs with Li Yancheng.

There are several private rooms upstairs, which are basically reserved for people of very high status.

Li Yancheng had a private room with drinks and snacks prepared in advance.

The two had just sat down when Han Musen led Han Youling through the door.

Xia Ningxi immediately became alert.

The Han siblings were equally surprised to see Xia Ningxi.

"Did you bring this?" Han Musen asked the man.

Li Yancheng said, "Yes. Is there a problem?"

"She's Huo Nanxiao's woman, why are you keeping her by your side?" Han Musen was very dissatisfied with this.

Li Yancheng smiled and said, "Don't you think it's quite a unique experience to have Huo Nanxiao's woman by your side?"

"Young Master Li probably doesn't know Xia Ningxi's methods. She's not someone to be trifled with." Han Youling glared fiercely at Xia Ningxi and said, "If it weren't for this woman, Huo Nanxiao would have fallen into our hands long ago. She even caused my brother to get injured. Aren't you afraid she'll stab you in the back if you keep someone like this around?"

Li Yancheng laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. If she really has the guts, just kill her."

Han Youling said, "I think we should get rid of him right now."

Li Yancheng said, "What's the point of getting rid of her? Huo Nanxiao is your real target."

"Let's get rid of her first. We can deal with Huo Nanxiao when he arrives." Han Youling was determined to kill him.

Li Yancheng looked displeased.

Han Musen noticed this, glanced at Han Youling, and gestured for her to shut up.

But Han Youling didn't want to let Xia Ningxi off so easily. If Xia Ningxi hadn't helped Huo Nanxiao, Huo Nanxiao would have fallen into their hands long ago, and Huo Nanxiao wouldn't have escaped in the end. The entire Han family suffered devastating retaliation from Huo Nanxiao, resulting in heavy losses...

It's all Xia Ningxi's responsibility!
