Xia Ningxi lay in a pool of blood after a difficult labor from her two-year marriage, completely forgetting that it was the day of his wedding to someone else.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Leave th...
Chapter 608 What's there to be afraid of? He's just a child.
Huo Nanxiao clearly didn't believe Li Yancheng's words and punched him in the face.
Li Yancheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and cursed, "Are you out of your mind?"
"You're lying." Huo Nanxiao was surrounded by a chilling aura, his eyes filled with endless killing intent.
Li Yancheng was furious: "You told me to tell the truth, and now that I have, you think I'm lying. Huo Nanxiao, what the hell do you want?"
"You know what I want in your heart, and I know whether you've been telling the truth or not." Huo Nanxiao was terrifyingly cold.
Li Yancheng was furious: "I think you're not just crazy, you're also terribly narcissistic. Everything I've said is the absolute truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xia Wanwan. She remembers so many things from back then, there's no reason she would forget something so important."
“Although I was the one who sowed discord back then, Xia Ningxi did indeed take action. Otherwise, the surveillance footage wouldn’t have recorded her pushing Xia Wanwan into the water. You actually knew the truth all along. The reason you’re so conflicted now is simply because Xia Ningxi gave birth to your child, and you want to treat her better.”
"Ask yourself honestly, do you really like Xia Ningxi?"
Li Yancheng mocked.
Every word he said struck a nerve with Huo Nanxiao; he knew what Huo Nanxiao cared about most.
Huo Nanxiao cares about Xia Wanwan becoming a vegetable after saving him, about the suffering Xia Wanwan has endured over the years, and about the fact that Xia Wanwan has not received any respect to this day.
He got engaged to Xia Wanwan because he didn't want her to become a laughing stock in the entire capital city.
Li Yancheng was well aware of everything Huo Nanxiao was worried about, and Huo Nanxiao was equally aware of Li Yancheng's thoughts.
The two of them could always easily guess each other's thoughts, so Huo Nanxiao didn't believe a word Li Yancheng said.
"You want me to hate Xia Ningxi and divorce her so you can reap the benefits behind the scenes? I'm not stupid. Do you think I would believe those words?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.
Li Yancheng didn't care: "You may not believe me, but this is all the truth I know. Xia Wanwan was indeed injured because of you, and she has been bedridden for so many years because of you. You should indeed be responsible for Xia Wanwan's life."
“Nan Xiao, you know very well that your father would never let Xia Wanwan enter the Huo family. Now that things have turned out like this, it is obviously impossible for Xia Wanwan to have a good life. She and Xia Ningxi cannot coexist. You know better than anyone who should be kept and who should be abandoned. Don’t wait until your father takes action, because by then Xia Wanwan will really have no way out.”
Huo Nanxiao was deep in thought.
Taking the opportunity, Li Yancheng pushed Huo Nanxiao away and straightened his disheveled collar.
Whether Huo Nanxiao believes it or not is his own business.
Li Yancheng didn't care.
"I've said everything I needed to say. Whether you believe it or not is up to you." Li Yancheng had no intention of continuing to argue with Huo Nanxiao. He pushed open the door and walked out.
The three children were still waiting next door. When they saw Li Yancheng come out, they quickly went up to him and asked, "Uncle Li, why is your face swollen?"
“Your dad beat you up. He’s a violent maniac. You’d better watch out in the future. Who knows, he might hang you all up and beat you up one day,” Li Yancheng said.
The three children were terrified and hid behind Li Yancheng.
Huo Nanxiao was still there at this moment, so he naturally heard Li Yancheng spouting nonsense. He turned around, looked at Li Yancheng outside the door, and exuded a murderous aura.
“You can leave, but the child must stay,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Li Yancheng said, "They like me, and they like being with me even more. I advise you not to force them."
Huo Nanxiao completely ignored Li Yancheng, walked out of the private room, and ordered his subordinates: "Take them away."
"I won't go, I don't want to go with you," Xingxing was the first to object.
Chu Chu was also unhappy: "You big bad guy, we don't like you."
"I... put me down..." Huo Yuan wanted to object, but before he could finish speaking, he was lifted up and his legs bounced in the air for a long time without breaking free.
Xingxing and Chuchu both looked at Huo Yuan, who had already been lifted up, speechless. How could their brother be so stupid? Why didn't he hide behind Uncle Li?
Huo Nanxiao had already picked up Huo Yuan and said to the remaining two children, "Think carefully about whether you want to come with me."
Chu Chu fearfully tugged at Xing Xing's hand and whispered, "Brother, what should we do? Will something happen to Brother Huo Yuan? Should we go with that bad daddy?"
"No, I can't go with him. I have things to take care of." Xingxing lowered his voice, not swayed by Huo Nanxiao's threats. He arrogantly raised his chin and said to Huo Nanxiao, "I don't want to go with you. I want to go with Uncle Li. If you force me, I'll go to the Xia family tomorrow and find Xia Wanwan. I'll teach her a lesson!"
Huo Nanxiao was clearly displeased.
Xingxing had already run to Li Yancheng's side, grabbing his clothes tightly with both hands and refusing to let go.
When Chu Chu realized what was happening, she wanted to chase after him and hug Li Yancheng's leg like her brother, but before she could run away, Huo Nanxiao picked her up.
"You big bad guy, let me go! I don't want to go with you!" Chu Chu said fiercely, kicking and punching Huo Nanxiao, aiming specifically at his face.
This little girl looks tiny, but she can really hurt when she hits someone.
Huo Nanxiao let her have her way. She caught two of the three children, and the remaining Xingxing was protected by Li Yancheng. Huo Nanxiao thought that Li Yancheng was still angry with him today, so he simply let Li Yancheng take him back for the night.
“Take good care of my son. If he suffers even the slightest injury, I will not forgive you.”
After warning Li Yancheng, Huo Nanxiao left with Chu Chu and Huo Yuan.
The two little ones struggled the whole way, but to no avail.
Lu Qi and the remaining bodyguards watched Huo Nanxiao's departing figure, then looked at Xingxing. They didn't try to snatch the child, but instead followed Huo Nanxiao away.
Xingxing had narrowly escaped death. He patted his chest, panting, "Thank goodness, they're finally gone. Uncle Li, please take me home."
Li Yancheng smiled and said, "Aren't you planning to go to the hospital to keep vigil for your mother?"
"I don't need to stay anymore. With Uncle Tang En watching over me, my mommy will be fine. Uncle Li, please take me home. I remember your bed is so soft and comfortable. I'm sleepy now and want to find a place to sleep." Xingxing blinked her big, pitiful eyes.
Li Yancheng didn't think much of it and got into his private car with Xingxing.
It was very late when they returned to the Li family manor. Li Yancheng arranged for Xingxing to sleep next to him and also asked a nanny to watch over the child, fearing that Xingxing would be scared and unable to sleep at night, but Xingxing refused.
Xingxing said, "Uncle Li, I don't need anyone to sit with me when I sleep, but I like to watch cartoons in my sleep. Can you lend me a laptop?"
"Something's going on in the room. Find whatever you want to watch." Li Yancheng handed him the remote.
Xingxing shook her head: "No, I don't like watching cartoons on TV. I want a laptop, I want one, I want one!"
The little guy was extremely aggrieved, and as he spoke, he sat down on the ground and started crying.
Li Yancheng was at his wit's end. He said to Yao Qing, "Get him a computer."
Yao Qing frowned, her expression somewhat unnatural: "Young Master Li, this is probably not a good thing, this child..."
"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a child." Li Yancheng didn't think much of it.
