Chapter 552 I Truly Like Her

Even if Li Yancheng didn't say it, Xia Ningxi was well aware of his inner thoughts.

He said that, but in his heart he was thinking about how to use himself to find Huo Nanxiao's sore spot and attack him.

“Although I have nothing to do with Huo Nanxiao anymore, that doesn’t mean I will help you deal with him.” Xia Ningxi’s eyes were cold.

Li Yancheng chuckled: "You're so protective of him, but does he even care about you?"

Xia Ningxi's heart trembled slightly. She tried her best to keep smiling, but for some reason, she couldn't smile at this moment. Her heart felt as if it had fallen into an icy pool, and she was so cold that her whole body was trembling.

Yes, has Huo Nanxiao ever cared about her?

In his eyes, there's probably only Xia Wanwan.

Xia Ningxi concealed the bitterness in her eyes and said, "What happens between you two has nothing to do with me. Huo Nanxiao's choice of Xia Wanwan is his own business. Even if I divorce him, I will not harm him behind his back. So, don't waste your time on me. I will not be your accomplice, much less help you harm others."

"Even if Huo Nanxiao knew that Xia Wanwan was not his savior, he still abandoned you and the child to choose Xia Wanwan, don't you hate him?" Li Yancheng questioned.

Xia Ningxi smiled bitterly: "All these years, hasn't he only ever had eyes for Xia Wanwan?"

She downed the glass of red wine in one gulp, gracefully set it down, and got up to leave.

"Where are you going?" Li Yancheng called out to her.

Xia Ningxi said, "I'm going back. The children are still waiting for me to come home."

"With your brother taking care of the children, they're fine. What do you plan to do about the Lin family's affairs?"

Li Yancheng awaited her answer.

Xia Ningxi said, "Have him come to Ninghai Hospital to see me at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

Li Yancheng was very satisfied with this answer. He smiled and walked to Xia Ningxi's side, took her cold hand and said, "Don't rush off yet, I still have a gift for you."

Xia Ningxi grabbed the man's wrist with her other hand and snapped it!

The man's expression changed drastically.

"Young Master Li, your hand..." Yao Qing's eyes widened.

At this moment, Li Yancheng's left wrist was dislocated and he could no longer move it. His usually calm and composed face was completely devoid of color.

"Next time you try to touch me inappropriately, it won't be so easy," she said irritably.

Li Yancheng endured the pain, placed his right hand on his dislocated wrist bone on the left side, and with a crack, it didn't set. His face darkened.

"Go find an orthopedic doctor," Xia Ningxi replied slowly.

Li Yancheng: "Don't you want to know why I brought you here today?"

"Isn't it just about currying favor with Lin Tianxiang so he'll ask me to do you a favor?" Xia Ningxi retorted.

Li Yancheng said, "There's an auction downstairs, and there's a particularly important medicinal herb on it. I heard that the research you and Tang En are doing recently is missing this herb, which is unavailable both domestically and internationally. Since you've agreed to help me, I'll give you what you want."

"You're not lying to me?" A glint flashed in Xia Ningxi's eyes.

Li Yancheng smiled and said, "Of course not, just come with me."

"Okay!" Xia Ningxi immediately changed her mind about leaving and quickly followed Li Yancheng. She was still very pragmatic.

But the man stopped after taking only two steps.

"Why are you looking at me?" Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled.

Li Yancheng asked, "When do you plan to reattach my hand?"

"Heh." Xia Ningxi snorted coldly, not intending to move.

Li Yancheng said, "If I go to the hospital now, your medicine will be gone. Think it over."

The threat is very strong!

Out of consideration for his continued value, Xia Ningxi reluctantly took Li Yancheng's left hand, felt the position of the bone, and easily reattached it. However, she had a little ulterior motive when she did so.

"Why does it hurt so much?" Li Yancheng asked, feeling that his left hand still couldn't move normally.

Xia Ningxi said, "It will take at most four hours. After four hours, it will return to normal."

Li Yancheng felt that Xia Ningxi was setting him up and wanted to press her for an explanation, but Xia Ningxi had already walked gracefully out the door.

The auction was held on the basement floor, which was a special location. In addition to some special medicinal materials, there were also human "parts" that could be matched. Therefore, everyone who entered was searched and their identity was verified. Only those who passed the verification were allowed to enter the auction venue.

They had just entered the auction venue when they saw Huo Nanxiao and Ji Feibai walk in together.

The man immediately spotted Xia Ningxi beside Li Yancheng, her unfathomable eyes terrifyingly deep.

"How did she end up here?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Ji Feibai then noticed that Xia Ningxi was also there: "Oh my, what a coincidence. The person next to you is Li Yancheng. She must have come with him."

Huo Nanxiao naturally knew that Xia Ningxi had come in with Li Yancheng. The question was, how did the two of them end up together and appear in the underground auction?

His sharp gaze fixed on Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi also noticed Huo Nanxiao. She found it strange, but considering that they no longer had any relationship, she consciously hid next to Li Yancheng, trying to minimize her presence, and did not take the initiative to greet Huo Nanxiao.

Unexpectedly, Huo Nanxiao took the initiative to come over.

"Long time no see," Li Yancheng said with a smile.

Huo Nanxiao glanced at Xia Ningxi and said to Li Yancheng, "What are you doing here?"

Li Yancheng: "Same as you."

They all came for the medicinal herbs that were being auctioned today.

Huo Nanxiao wanted these medicinal herbs to treat Xia Wanwan's illness. As for Li Yancheng... (read more)

What do you need those medicinal herbs for?

“Xia Ningxi likes it, so I took a picture and gave it to her. Is there a problem?” Li Yancheng asked back.

The medicinal herbs that appeared today are all very precious, and their prices are outrageously expensive. The Huo family is the richest family in the capital city, and Huo Nanxiao can easily afford the high auction fees, but Xia Ningxi cannot afford them. Her income is only enough for her to support a few children.

Li Yancheng is not such a generous person, and he would not easily spend money to please someone insignificant.

Huo Nanxiao and Ji Feibai were seated on the right side of the first row, while Xia Ningxi and Li Yancheng were seated on the far left, about seven or eight meters away from them.

"I never expected Li Yancheng to bring Xia Ningxi to a place like this." Ji Feibai was very surprised.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Can't think of anything?"

Ji Feibai said, "The things here aren't cheap. The fact that Li Yancheng was willing to bring her here means he wanted to give her a gift. I didn't expect Li Yancheng to be so good at winning people over. I thought he was just trying to annoy you by getting close to Xia Ningxi, but now it seems he might genuinely like her."

"impossible."

Huo Nanxiao scoffed.

Ji Feibai said, "Why is it impossible? Last time you got engaged, he came holding Xia Ningxi's hand."

"Shut up!"

Huo Nanxiao's face turned green.

He gets angry whenever he thinks about it.

Ji Feibai said, "You're already engaged to Xia Wanwan, so why are you still angry? Do you still want to interfere in Xia Ningxi's affairs? The two of you have no relationship now, and it's none of your business who Xia Ningxi is with."

This guy just keeps bringing up the very things he doesn't want to talk about.

Knowing full well that Huo Nanxiao still had feelings for Xia Ningxi, Ji Feibai still insisted on stabbing Huo Nanxiao in the back at this crucial moment.
