Chapter 637 Afraid she'd have a secret rendezvous with another man

Xia Ningxi had no desire to see him at all and refused without hesitation: "I'm busy, I'm very busy lately."

"You're suspended from your duties, what else is there to be busy with?" Li Yancheng retorted.

These words struck a nerve with Xia Ningxi, and she gritted her teeth: "Even if I have nothing to do, I don't want to see you."

“Xia Ningxi, do you know that Huo Nanxiao asked me for the surveillance video from back then? I can show it to you first…” Li Yancheng, still harboring ulterior motives, once again put forward his idea: “How about it? I can send someone to pick you up right now.”

"No need." Those two simple words extinguished Li Yancheng's hopes.

Xia Ningxi turned around in confusion as her phone was inexplicably snatched away. Huo Nanxiao appeared behind her at some point, took the phone from her, and rejected Li Yancheng.

Upon hearing Huo Nanxiao's voice, Li Yancheng on the other end of the phone immediately swore.

"Why are you everywhere?" Li Yancheng was seething with anger.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Prepare what I need. If you dare to try anything again, I'll burn your base down."

Snap—

Li Yancheng hung up the phone immediately, not wanting to pay any attention to Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao handed the phone to Xia Ningxi and said, "Don't pay any attention to him, this guy is no good."

"Oh," Xia Ningxi replied softly.

Huo Nanxiao raised an eyebrow: "I answered your call, and you're unhappy about it?"

"No," Xia Ningxi denied.

Huo Nanxiao said, "It's written all over your face."

Xia Ningxi didn't know what to say for a moment, so she let Huo Nanxiao go.

She was very hungry and didn't want to argue with Huo Nanxiao. She got up, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and prepared to change her clothes to go downstairs for breakfast. But when she saw Huo Nanxiao still standing in her room, she couldn't help but say, "I need to change my clothes."

The man remained motionless and unresponsive, it was unclear whether he hadn't heard what Xia Ningxi said.

Xia Ningxi repeated once more, "Are you going to stay here and watch me change my clothes?"

Huo Nanxiao asked, "Are you going to see him?"

He was clearly angry.

Xia Ningxi said, "I'm not going."

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Huo Nanxiao was in a pretty good mood. "I changed my clothes and went downstairs for breakfast."

He left the guest room and closed the door behind him.

Xia Ningxi casually changed into a set of clothes and went downstairs.

The three children were already awake, and they were overjoyed to see Xia Ningxi, so they all stood up from their chairs.

"Mommy, Mommy, sit here." Chu Chu waved to Xia Ningxi in her childish voice.

Xingxing glanced at her younger sister and smiled indulgently.

As for Huo Yuan, the little guy didn't say anything, but he had already silently vacated his seat and stood aside looking at Xia Ningxi with an expectant expression.

Xia Ningxi hugged Chu Chu, patted Xingxing's head, and sat down next to Huo Yuan.

The three little ones felt valued and were very happy, so they quickly introduced today's breakfast to Xia Ningxi.

The housekeeper and cook stood by, not giving them a chance to speak. The three little ones kept serving Xia Ningxi different kinds of food, afraid that she would go hungry.

Huo Nanxiao was extremely jealous. He coughed lightly to try and get the children's attention, but the three little ones ignored him completely. Only Huo Yuan glanced at him.

"A-Yuan, come here to Daddy." Huo Nanxiao reached out his hand to Huo Yuan.

Huo Yuan shook his head.

"What's wrong? Don't you like Daddy?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Huo Yuan answered softly, "I want to sit next to Mommy, I don't want to sit with Daddy."

Huo Nanxiao was suffering from a heart attack. Two of his three children were already ignoring him, and even A Yuan, who had lived in the capital city since childhood, was unwilling to sit next to him.

Never mind, it's his fault.

Huo Nanxiao suppressed the bitterness in his heart and took the initiative to serve Xia Ningxi a bowl of soup.

"Thank you," Xia Ningxi said calmly.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Come with me to the Xia family tonight."

"They probably won't welcome me." Xia Ningxi didn't want to go to the Xia family; going there would only make her unhappy.

Huo Nanxiao said, "With me here, they dare not say anything."

“Li Yancheng may not do as you say. He asked to see Xia Wanwan because he wanted to dig something out of her. I don’t believe he will be so honest. As for Xia Wanwan… well, do whatever you want with her.”

Xia Ningxi suddenly fell silent when she mentioned Xia Wanwan, unsure of what to say about her. If she spoke ill of Xia Wanwan, what would Huo Nanxiao think?

In Huo Nanxiao's eyes, she was already someone who was very hostile towards Xia Wanwan. If she said anything bad about Xia Wanwan at this time, Huo Nanxiao might get angry.

After breakfast, Xia Ningxi took the three children to kindergarten.

Huo Nanxiao insisted on following her, which annoyed her greatly. She tried to shake him off several times but failed. In the end, she could only go to his company at Huo Nanxiao's "enthusiastic invitation".

This guy's thoughts are hard to fathom. He's clearly busy to death, yet he insists on having Xia Ningxi come to his company. Is he afraid that if he's not there, she'll secretly go out and meet with some other man?

Bored out of her mind, Xia Ningxi had nothing to do, so she lay in Huo Nanxiao's office watching TV series.

Ye Su was very sensible and arranged for everyone who came to see Huo Nanxiao to stay in the VIP room, leaving Xia Ningxi to play and rest comfortably by herself. She also thoughtfully brought her fruit and snacks from time to time.

"Has Huo Nanxiao finished yet?" Xia Ningxi was getting a little impatient.

Ye Su replied, "The president is in a meeting, please wait patiently, young mistress."

"He's been in a meeting for two hours already, hasn't he? Why is he still in a meeting?" Xia Ningxi asked.

Ye Su said, "It just so happens that several business partners came today, so the president will be quite busy. It will probably be afternoon before he finishes."

"Can I leave?" Xia Ningxi didn't want to stay here anymore; she wanted to go back.

Ye Su shook her head: "No, the president specifically instructed that the young mistress must wait here for him to get off work."

"Is this guy doing this on purpose? No, I'm not going to linger here. I'm leaving now." Xia Ningxi got up to leave.

Ye Su looked troubled: "Young Madam, please don't make things difficult for me. If you leave now, the CEO will definitely be angry with me."

"Let him be angry, why do you care?" Xia Ningxi didn't want to be morally blackmailed. She had already given Huo Nanxiao enough face by waiting here for two hours. Did she really have to wait here for nothing all day?

Are you kidding me!

Huo Nanxiao doesn't have that much charm, and I'm not that bored!

After packing her things, Xia Ningxi turned to leave.

As soon as she stepped out of the CEO's office, she bumped into a wall of flesh. It was Huo Nanxiao who had returned. This guy's return was really timely. He didn't come back earlier or later, but he had to appear just when she was about to leave. It was obvious that he didn't want her to leave.

"Where are you going?" Huo Nanxiao stared at her dangerously.

Xia Ningxi said, "Let's go back."

"Have you had lunch?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi pointed to the snacks and drinks on the table. Ye Su had prepared quite a few for her, mostly desserts.

“Let’s go to the restaurant to eat,” Huo Nanxiao replied in a deep voice, clearly not considering these desserts as lunch.

He handed the file to Ye Su, put on a coat, and then reached out his hand to Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi didn't react in time. She blinked as she looked at Huo Nanxiao's outstretched hand.

Ye Su watched from the side.

Displeased at not getting a response, Huo Nanxiao grabbed Xia Ningxi's wrist forcefully and pulled her outside.
