Chapter 547 They Don't Want to See Me

Xia Ningxi didn't know what had gotten into Huo Nanxiao. Suddenly seeing him being so considerate made her feel very uncomfortable.

Even when the porridge was brought to her lips, Xia Ningxi was too embarrassed to drink it.

"I can do it myself." She was a little embarrassed and reached out to take the porridge from Huo Nanxiao's hands.

Huo Nanxiao stared at her fair, pinkish-white face, his gaze sharp yet complex.

He knew that Xia Ningxi was deliberately distancing herself from him, but in the end he still handed the porridge to Xia Ningxi and let her drink it herself.

Xia Ningxi didn't drink much, mainly because Huo Nanxiao kept watching her, which made her feel embarrassed. She felt like a pet being watched. After a few bites, she put the bowl on the table.

“I’m fine. I’ll handle the discharge procedures myself later. You don’t need to spend time with me. You can go back now,” Xia Ningxi said.

“I’ll take you back,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Ningxi opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Huo Nanxiao brought a lot of food, but Xia Ningxi didn't have much of an appetite. She quickly packed her things and completed the discharge procedures.

Actually, she was in good health and could have taken a taxi home by herself without any problem, but Huo Nanxiao insisted on driving her home. Xia Ningxi had no choice but to leave the hospital in Huo Nanxiao's car.

"Take me back to my rented apartment." These were the first words Xia Ningxi said after getting into his car.

Huo Nanxiao said, "It's safer to stay at my place."

"No, if I continue to live with you now, who knows what people will say if they find out. I have my own place to live, there's no need to bother you." Xia Ningxi rejected his suggestion.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Wanwan won't be staying at Lanyuan."

"She's your fiancée too. Since you've given her that status, you should keep your distance from me. You can't expect me and the kids to live in your house while she's left alone, heartbroken and sad, can you?"

Xia Ningxi couldn't help but laugh.

Huo Nanxiao tightened his grip on the steering wheel, his dark eyes unfathomable.

Xia Ningxi ignored him, leaned against the car window, and looked intently at the scenery outside. The capital city was truly prosperous, with cars rushing by on the bustling streets, just like their lives, which were also such a hurried and hasty stroke, simply passed over.

Actually, they should have broken up.

They should have no further contact.

The car drove for a while and finally stopped outside the two-story building.

Huo Nanxiao stopped the car and looked at the slightly dilapidated building in front of him, his feelings were very complicated.

"I've arrived, thank you." Xia Ningxi unbuckled her seatbelt and prepared to leave.

Huo Nanxiao suddenly grasped her hand and said, "About last night..."

“Nothing happened last night, and nothing happened between you and me either. We just… met once. I won’t tell Xia Wanwan, but I also hope that this kind of thing will never happen again,” Xia Ningxi said very seriously.

Huo Nanxiao asked, "Why are you with Li Yancheng? Why did you book a room together? If he has ulterior motives towards you, how can you, a girl, deal with him?"

"Don't worry, he just wants to annoy you, he has no feelings for me."

Xia Ningxi didn't pay any attention to Li Yancheng.

Even if she really did end up in the same bed with Li Yancheng, she was certain that Li Yancheng wouldn't have any ulterior motives towards her.

They were both very simple-minded.

“I don’t think he has no feelings for you.” Huo Nanxiao’s voice was unusually serious.

Xia Ningxi blinked her big eyes in surprise: "What nonsense are you talking about? You grew up with Li Yancheng, don't you know what he's thinking? The reason he's with me is to cause you trouble and embarrass you. Do you think he would fall for your ex-wife? The eldest son of the Li family wouldn't be so desperate."

"His taste has never been good. The fact that he can admit to you in front of outsiders is enough to show that he doesn't care about these things. He has never been this devoted to any other woman. At least in all the years I've known him, you are the first."

When Huo Nanxiao talked about this, he was extremely jealous. His eyes turned sinister as he looked at Xia Ningxi, as if to say: You two are definitely having an affair, you can't fool me.

Xia Ningxi was too lazy to explain, mainly because it would be useless; Huo Nanxiao simply wouldn't listen.

"Think what you want, I'm going home. Young Master Huo just held such a grand engagement banquet last night, he should be with his fiancée at a time like this. Don't come looking for me again," Xia Ningxi said coldly.

Huo Nanxiao held her hand and tightened his grip.

The atmosphere inside the car was indescribably oppressive.

Xia Ningxi felt suffocated by the oppressive atmosphere. She tried her best to remain composed and act as if she didn't care. She politely said "goodbye" to Huo Nanxiao, pried his hand off hers with her beautiful fingers, opened the car door, and left!

She walked away gracefully, without even glancing back at Huo Nanxiao. Her thin and frail figure looked lonely and forlorn, making one's heart ache and one want to rush forward and hug her tightly.

The thought rushed into Huo Nanxiao's mind, and he almost couldn't help but jump out of the car to stop her, but in the end, Huo Nanxiao held back and watched Xia Ningxi walk into the two-story building and finally disappear from his sight.

Huo Nanxiao silently gripped the steering wheel and remained outside the door for a very long time!

The three children were probably very happy to see Xia Ningxi come home. I don't know what they did at home, but Huo Nanxiao could hear their laughter from inside even from several meters away.

They seemed very happy!

Huo Nanxiao sat in the car, his eyes fixed on the closed door. Hearing the children's voices, he longed to go in and see them!

Can……

Under what circumstances should he go in to visit his child?

If they knew he was engaged to Xia Wanwan, would they still acknowledge him as their father?

Huo Nanxiao was unaware of this, and he was even somewhat afraid that the children would find out!

Suddenly, the large door in front of them opened.

A cute little head peeked out from inside the door, with two adorable braids and a rosy face that looked just like a porcelain doll—it was incredibly pretty.

When the little girl saw Huo Nanxiao, her face immediately fell, and she quickly looked away.

Soon after, the other two older brothers also peeked out of the door one after another. When they saw Huo Nanxiao, neither of them reacted.

Huo Nanxiao took the initiative to greet the child, and even got out of the car to go inside and see the child. However, when Xingxing saw Huo Nanxiao walking towards him, she slammed the door shut with an astonishing force, as if she had seen a flood or a ferocious beast!

Huo Nanxiao paused, stopping in his tracks.

"Never mind, they probably don't want to see me." Huo Nanxiao suppressed the bitterness in his heart and sighed helplessly.
