Chapter 473 Don't mention her in front of the children

Huo Nanxiao knew that Xia Ningxi was deliberately making fun of him, so he didn't explain himself.

“Where are the children?” he asked.

Xia Ningxi said, "They're still upstairs."

Huo Nanxiao strode inside.

When Xia Jingcheng saw Huo Nanxiao arrive, he was very impolite: "What are you doing here?"

"Look at the child." Huo Nanxiao was unusually patient.

Xia Jingcheng wouldn't give him a friendly look, and sarcastically remarked without any politeness: "What are you looking at, kids? Aren't they our children?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "I came to take the children to the amusement park, that's all."

"No need, I can take them myself. You'd be better off spending your time with your fiancée, don't get in my way here." Xia Jingcheng sneered.

Huo Nanxiao did not answer him and went upstairs directly.

“You…” Xia Jingcheng was furious.

Upstairs, the three little ones are in their room choosing what to wear for today's outing.

Xingxing held up a pink dress and said, "Little sister, this is pretty. Wear this dress."

Huo Yuan held up the white tutu: "I think this dress looks better."

"What? I don't think it looks good," Xingxing retorted.

Huo Yuan said, "This is a princess dress!"

"No, my pink dress is the princess dress!" Xingxing retorted.

The two older brothers argued so fiercely over whether Chu Chu would wear the dress they recommended that they almost came to blows.

At first, she didn't know which one to choose. Just as she was wondering how to respond to her brothers, the door was pushed open!

Huo Nanxiao walked in, picked out a navy blue lace dress from among the many dresses, and said, "Chu Chu looks very cute in this dress."

The little girl looked up in surprise and saw that the person who came was Huo Nanxiao. Her grape-sized eyes were stunned. A few seconds later, the little girl seemed to be frightened and immediately hid behind Xingxing.

Almost an instinctive reaction, it made Huo Nanxiao feel uneasy. This little girl was actually afraid of him?

Huo Nanxiao's expression darkened.

Huo Yuan, however, immediately threw himself into Huo Nanxiao's arms: "Daddy, you're not dead! That's great!"

Huo Nanxiao's gaze fell on Huo Yuan, and he noticed that the little guy's nose was already red, and he looked pitiful as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Why are you crying?" Huo Nanxiao's voice softened a bit.

Huo Yuan said in a childish voice, "I thought something had happened to Daddy."

"I'm fine, nothing's wrong, don't worry," Huo Nanxiao told the little guy.

Huo Yuan said, "Daddy, are you alright? I heard you were trapped in the fire last night, it must have been very dangerous."

“It was dangerous, but I left in time and wasn’t injured, so you don’t need to worry.” Huo Nanxiao tapped the little guy’s nose.

Huo Yuan wiped away his tears pitifully.

Xingxing, standing to the side, was puzzled: "Didn't I tell you not to play on the computer or phone? How do you know Daddy is missing?"

"I'm not stupid. With so many people blocking the kindergarten gate, how could I not know?" Huo Yuan retorted.

Xingxing was surprised: "Wow, you're really not stupid."

"You brat!" Huo Yuan sniffed, annoyed!

Huo Nanxiao's heart melted at the sight of the three adorable little ones. He held his two precious sons in his arms, one on each side, and said kindly, "I have some free time today, so I'll take you to the amusement park."

"That's great!" Huo Yuan was very happy.

Xingxing asked, "What about Mommy? Will Mommy come with us?"

"Of course," Huo Nanxiao replied.

"That's good." Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Nanxiao gently rubbed the two little ones' obedient little heads. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chu Chu, the little girl, standing somewhat uneasy opposite him, her little feet sticking up. She didn't say anything, but she looked extremely pitiful.

How can this little girl be so cute?

Most importantly, this little girl is his own daughter.

Huo Nanxiao beckoned to Chu Chu: "Chu Chu, come here."

Chu Chu shook her head: "I'm not going."

"Don't be afraid, come here." Huo Nanxiao's voice was very gentle.

"I don't want to play with you, you're a big bad guy!" Chu Chu yelled at him in a cute and innocent way, showing strong resistance.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Why am I a big bad guy?"

“You’re going to separate me from Mommy, so you’re a big bad guy,” Chu Chu replied.

Huo Nanxiao let go of his two older brothers, walked over, and picked up the little girl in one go.

Chu Chu was startled, her eyes widened, and she struggled frantically, shouting, "What are you doing? Let me go!"

Huo Nanxiao tapped the little girl's forehead and said, "I don't want to separate you. I just hope you can stay and grow up with your two brothers by my side, so that I can protect you for the rest of your lives."

"Really?" Chu Chu tilted her head, half-believing and half-doubting. "But why would you protect us for the rest of your life?"

Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice, "Because I am your father, protecting you is my responsibility."

"You're not him, my daddy isn't you." Chu Chu didn't want to admit it.

Huo Nanxiao asked, "Then who is your father?"

"I...I..." Chu Chu didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Huo Nanxiao smiled and said, "Can't figure it out, huh?"

"Hmph, my daddy isn't you, I don't want a big bad guy like you to be my daddy." Chu Chu yelled at him in a fierce, childish voice.

“Okay, then I’ll temporarily refrain from being your daddy, but today I’m going to take you and your brothers out to play, is that alright?” Huo Nanxiao asked.

At first, she hesitated slightly: "I'll think about it."

"No need to think about it anymore. The car is already parked downstairs. We can go out now. First, put on this beautiful princess dress." Huo Nanxiao handed the little dress to the girl.

The little girl said she didn't like Huo Nanxiao, but her actions betrayed her words as she quickly ran into the dressing room to change into a beautiful princess dress.

Her two older brothers, dressed in smart suits, stood at the door waiting for her.

Huo Nanxiao was very pleased with his three children. He picked up the little baby Chu Chu and carried her downstairs.

"Let's go, we can go out now," Huo Nanxiao said to Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi said coldly, "I never said I wanted to go out with you."

"If you don't want to go out, then I'll take the child out to play by myself." Huo Nanxiao picked up the child and walked away.

"Stop right there!" Xia Ningxi shouted angrily at him.

Huo Nanxiao completely ignored Xia Ningxi and got into the car with the child.

Xia Ningxi had no choice but to chase after him.

The three children were very well-behaved and sat quietly in the car. Xia Ningxi was really afraid that Huo Nanxiao would kidnap her precious children and not return them to her.

Not daring to let Huo Nanxiao leave with the three children, she got into the car with a resentful look on her face.

Huo Nanxiao's lips curled into a triumphant smile.

Xia Ningxi cursed him: "Shameless."

“Those are my children. It’s normal for me to take them out to play,” Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice.

Xia Ningxi sneered: "Xia Wanwan is still your fiancée, so why don't you take her out to play?"

"Don't mention her in front of the child." Huo Nanxiao's handsome profile suddenly turned cold.
