Chapter 481 Why are you doing this to me?

But no one ever told Xia Wanwan any of these things.

Since she woke up, no one has told her about this. Everyone has been keeping it from her. If it weren't for Xia Ningxi, Xia Wanwan might have been kept in the dark her whole life.

She could tolerate being deceived by others, but she couldn't tolerate even Huo Nanxiao deceiving her!

Xia Wanwan's eyes welled up with tears. Her body trembled as she stared into Huo Nanxiao's cold eyes. She asked, word by word, "Why did you lie to me?"

"You knew everything?" Huo Nanxiao asked with a serious expression.

Xia Wanwan said, "Yes, I know everything. Why did you do this? Why couldn't you tell me something so important sooner? What do you take me for? If Xia Ningxi hadn't told me, how long were you going to keep this from me?"

Her hoarse voice was filled with anger; the immense deception made Xia Wanwan feel like a fool who had been manipulated.

And the one who treated her like a fool was none other than Huo Nanxiao, which Xia Wanwan could not accept!

She practically yelled at Huo Nanxiao, her frail, sickly body trembling violently under the impact of her immense rage.

Looking at Xia Wanwan's swaying body, Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice, "I am married. I married Xia Ningxi six years ago, and her child is my own."

"Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Xia Wanwan's eyes were red and filled with tears.

Huo Nanxiao said, "If you knew about this, would you still be able to recover properly? Look at yourself now. It would be better if you knew nothing at all."

Xia Wanwan roared, "So you're going to treat me like an idiot and let everyone laugh at me!"

“I don’t want others to laugh at you; I just hope you can recover soon,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Wanwan gave a self-deprecating laugh, looking at the handsome and familiar face before her. She found it utterly ridiculous: "Huo Nanxiao, since you're already married, you shouldn't treat me like this! What will people think of me if you do this? If you're already married, why did you agree to marry me in the first place? Do you even know how others perceive me?"

"You were the one who promised to marry me, but you betrayed me. I was the one who should have stood by your side, but now I've become the third party who broke up someone else's family. How could you do this to me! How could you!"

She practically screamed, using all her strength to overturn everything on the table.

Everything on the table was spilled on the floor, and a water glass fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, making a sharp cracking sound.

Hearing the commotion, Zhou Fenglin, accompanied by several maids, pushed open the door and entered. He saw Xia Wanwan weakly supporting herself on a chair, about to fall to the ground. Startled, Zhou Fenglin rushed over to help her up.

"Wanwan, what's wrong? Don't scare me." Zhou Fenglin was terrified; it was the first time he had ever seen Xia Wanwan so agitated.

Xia Wanwan pushed her hand away, "Don't touch me!"

"What's wrong with you, child? What happened to make you so angry?" Zhou Fenglin asked, puzzled. But since Huo Nanxiao was there, she was afraid that Xia Wanwan might say something inappropriate and anger Huo Nanxiao, so she immediately apologized to Huo Nanxiao: "Young Master Huo, Wanwan is not feeling well and her emotions are fluctuating a lot. Please don't be angry with Wanwan."

"Am I just short-tempered, or do you all think I'm stupid, hiding things from me and deceiving me?!" Xia Wanwan questioned.

Zhou Fenglin, who was smiling obsequiously and apologizing just a moment ago, immediately realized what Xia Wanwan was up to. Her expression changed instantly, and she turned around very seriously, her back to Huo Nanxiao, and warned Xia Wanwan with a sharp look: "Don't be ridiculous, don't talk about this anymore."

"Why can't I say?" Xia Wanwan was unwilling to give up.

Zhou Fenglin said, "Young Master Huo has already promised to marry you, and he will definitely keep his word. What else do you have to complain about? Are you going to make a scene in front of Young Master Huo?"

"Heh, heh heh!" Xia Wanwan laughed and then tears fell: "Agree? To put it bluntly, it's just because they pity me and are giving me charity."

"Why are you talking nonsense, child? Young Master Huo has waited for you for so many years. He cares about you more than anyone else. If he didn't truly like and love you, why would he have agreed to the engagement under such immense pressure? Don't listen to other people's nonsense. Focus on getting better and wait until you're fully recovered before marrying into the Huo family and becoming the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family." Zhou Fenglin gently reminded Xia Wanwan, holding her hand.

Zhou Fenglin did not want Xia Wanwan to make a fuss over this matter.

Because they were in the wrong to begin with.

Xia Ningxi had already married Huo Nanxiao and had a child, so Xia Wanwan was actually the one who benefited.

She's already received tremendous benefits, and instead of trying to please Huo Nanxiao, she's actually being super close to him. Does she have a death wish?

Zhou Fenglin glared fiercely at Xia Wanwan, his warning and dissatisfaction written all over his face.

Xia Wanwan said, "Mother, please leave. This is between Nan Xiao and me. Don't interfere."

"Stop messing around. Listen to me, apologize to Young Master Huo, and this matter will be over," Zhou Fenglin reminded him.

Xia Wanwan said, "Why should I apologize? Get out! This has nothing to do with you, and I don't want to involve you."

"Can't you understand human language, kid?" Zhou Fenglin was furious and even felt like cursing.

But Xia Wanwan ignored her completely and shouted angrily, "Get out!"

"You—" Zhou Fenglin was furious.

Huo Nanxiao: "Madam Zhou, please go out first. I'll talk to her."

“Young Master Huo, Wanwan is sick and in a bad mood. If she says anything offensive to you, please don’t take it to heart and don’t hold it against her. She has been sick for so many years and her emotions are out of control. I hope you can understand.” Zhou Fenglin was still trying to exonerate Xia Wanwan.

Huo Nanxiao: "I know, you can go out first."

"Alright then." Zhou Fenglin was unwilling, but he could only bite the bullet and leave.

The door was closed.

Xia Wanwan's emotions were fluctuating wildly, making it impossible for her to communicate properly with Huo Nanxiao. Every time she thought about being deceived, she felt an indescribable anger and sorrow.

She just stared at Huo Nanxiao without saying a word, her eyes filled with clear, visible tears.

Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice, "You should get some rest."

"If I hadn't come to you, would you have never wanted to tell me about this in your entire life?" Xia Wanwan asked.

Huo Nanxiao did not deny it, and answered, "Yes."

Xia Wanwan gave a bitter smile: "Why are you doing this to me?"

“This is the best choice for you,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Wanwan said self-deprecatingly, "Yes, you kept everything from me, making me foolishly believe that I could rightfully stand by your side. But in reality, I became a despised third party, and I even despise myself. Did you really do this for my own good?"
