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 620 Uncle Li is going to take Mommy out to play
Xia Ningxi felt that Huo Nanxiao was a bit off, but she didn't say anything, fearing that Huo Nanxiao might do something strange to her in a moment of despair.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Xia Ningxi was about to leave the bathroom when she saw Huo Nanxiao standing at the door. Without thinking, she walked past him, avoiding his outstretched hand, and went downstairs by herself.
Huo Nanxiao stayed close to Xia Ningxi the whole time, whether out of fear that she might continue to hurt her head or something else, she found it quite strange.
Lunch was plentiful, consisting of dishes that the children liked. Xia Ningxi was fine, as her appetite was quite different from the children's; the only difference was that the children couldn't handle spicy food.
"Aunt Zhang, where's the child?" Xia Ningxi looked around, but there wasn't a single familiar figure in sight, and she couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Aunt Zhang said, "The young masters and Miss Chu Chu are playing in the playground in the backyard."
"Call them back, it's time to eat," Xia Ningxi said gently.
“Yes, young mistress.” Aunt Zhang immediately went to the backyard.
Soon the three children returned. Seeing Xia Ningxi sitting in the dining room, they quickly ran to wash their hands, obediently picked up their chopsticks, and sat down at the table.
"Is Mommy feeling better?" Chu Chu asked in her childish voice.
Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "I'm much better now, don't worry."
"Can we go out and play today?" Chu Chu asked again.
Xia Ningxi asked curiously, "Where are we going to play?"
"Uncle Li is going to take us to the aquarium," Chu Chu said cautiously.
Seeing Huo Nanxiao coming downstairs and walking towards them, Xingxing immediately added, "Uncle Li has always been very concerned about Mommy. He's worried about Mommy because she's been staying home these past few days and wants to see her. Why don't you agree to come with us to see Uncle Li?"
"That's probably not a good idea." Xia Ningxi was unwilling to go because she was still injured and didn't want to wander around.
Xingxing said, "But Uncle Li misses Mommy a lot. Doesn't Mommy want to see Uncle Li at all? He hasn't seen you for several days. He hasn't been able to sleep at night. He dreams about you every night."
"Nonsense." Xia Ningxi's face flushed red instantly.
Xingxing answered seriously, "Really, I'm not lying to you, it's all true, Uncle Li told me himself."
The little guy looked serious, and his expression seemed genuine.
Xia Ningxi knew perfectly well that there was no romantic entanglement between her and Li Yancheng, and there was no need to make this guy lose sleep over it. If there really was, then Li Yancheng must be trying to dig a pit for her to jump into.
Therefore, Xia Ningxi did not believe what Xingxing said, but Huo Nanxiao did.
The man yanked Xingxing up from her seat. The little guy was stunned for a moment, and before he knew it, he was in Huo Nanxiao's arms. The tiny bundle trembled uncontrollably for a couple of seconds, startled, and managed to force a reasonably cute expression.
"Daddy, you're here." Xingxing pretended to be strong.
Huo Nanxiao curled his thin, cold lips: "You know quite a lot, even knowing how to push your own mother towards Li Yancheng. Do you think I'm dead?"
"Why does Daddy have to tell the truth?" Xingxing muttered softly.
Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes, staring at Xingxing's face with a sinister look; his deep eyes were terrifyingly dangerous.
The little guy felt guilty, but he didn't look at Huo Nanxiao, so he wasn't scared by Huo Nanxiao.
Chu Chu could tell that Huo Nanxiao was angry, and said in a childish voice, "We're taking Mommy out today, we're not taking you, you big bad guy."
"You're not allowed to go." Huo Nanxiao refused without hesitation.
The initial question was: "Why?"
“Because your mother hasn’t fully recovered, she should stay home and rest properly. She shouldn’t go anywhere,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Chu Chu said, "Mommy hasn't been able to go out for several days. She's practically rusting. You can't keep her locked up like this forever, can you? Uncle Li isn't that stingy. Uncle Li will not only take us out to eat delicious food, but he will also take us out to play."
"So what?" Huo Nanxiao replied indifferently.
Chu Chu said in a cute yet fierce tone, "We have to go out today."
“You can go out, but I must accompany you; otherwise, you cannot go anywhere,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Chu Chu looked at Xia Xingxing like a deflated balloon.
Xingxing realized that Huo Nanxiao didn't want Xia Ningxi to take them out alone, so she suggested, "Then Daddy, why don't you take us to your company? We haven't been to Daddy's company in a long time, and we don't know what it's like now."
"Okay." Huo Nanxiao agreed, then looked at Xia Ningxi and asked, "Want to go together?"
“Okay.” Xia Ningxi did not refuse. She knew that the children did not want to stay at home and all wanted to go out and play.
After lunch, Huo Nanxiao took Xia Ningxi and the child to the company.
Huo Nanxiao had a lot of things to do, so he went to a meeting as soon as he arrived at the company, leaving Ye Su to entertain Xia Ningxi and the child.
As for the company's employees, they were all quite puzzled.
The last engagement banquet between Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan was held in the capital city in a grand manner. Everyone in the company knew that Xia Wanwan was already Huo Nanxiao's fiancée. If Xia Wanwan were to appear now, everyone in the company would probably respectfully call her "President's wife" and no one would dare to give Xia Wanwan a hard time!
But now...
When Huo Nanxiao appeared with Xia Ningxi and their three children, the company was abuzz with discussion, and many couldn't understand what Huo Nanxiao was up to.
Even Lu Qi, who had been with Huo Nanxiao for many years, was somewhat confused. Standing outside the office, he secretly glanced at Xia Ningxi and the three children and asked Ye Su, "Secretary Ye, what do you think Young Master Huo is thinking? Does he like Xia Wanwan more or the young mistress more?"
Ye Su: "This is not something I should worry about."
Lu Qi: "You've been by Huo Shao's side for so many years, how can this not concern you? This concerns the future president's wife, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, your future boss's wife. Don't you care at all?"
Ye Su said, "From beginning to end, the young mistress has only ever had Xia Ningxi, hasn't she?"
“That’s true.” Lu Qi nodded. Being licensed to work is different from Xia Wanwan, who has no legal protection. No matter what outsiders say, it cannot change the fact that Xia Ningxi is Huo Nanxiao’s original wife.
Xia Wanwan's reputation is only slightly better because Huo Nanxiao doesn't want her to be ridiculed by outsiders, so he deliberately elevates Xia Wanwan's status.
Huo Nanxiao's fiancée?
It seemed that all the socialites in the capital were envious, but in reality, only Xia Wanwan herself knew how ridiculous this identity was.
Ye Su cut a fruit platter and brought it into the president's office, showing Xia Ningxi great respect: "Young Madam, please have some fruit."
"Thank you," Xia Ningxi said politely.
Ye Su asked, "Does your head still hurt, young mistress? The room temperature is a bit low; should we adjust it to be more comfortable?"
"No need, this is enough." Xia Ningxi refused. She drank her mango juice, ate a small piece of freshly washed fruit, and looked out the door with boredom. She saw many people coming and going, seemingly in a hurry, but Xia Ningxi knew that these people were deliberately passing by to see her.
She bent down, picked up an orange, slowly peeled it, and asked, "Is this the first time everyone has met me? Why are you all so curious?"
"Huh?" Ye Su was taken aback. Following Xia Ningxi's gaze, she saw a group of people craning their necks to look at her. She immediately explained, "Young Madam, please don't mind. These people don't know the situation very well. They think that Xia Wanwan is the president's wife because she is engaged to the president, which is why they are so confused about your appearance."
