Chapter 679 Don't Appear in Front of Her

Xia Ningxi thought about Xia Wanwan's purpose in coming to see her, but the fact that she was so straightforward and told her that Huo Nanxiao had taken the initiative to propose made Xia Ningxi think that Xia Wanwan was deliberately showing off.

"A proposal? And then?" Xia Ningxi asked calmly.

Xia Wanwan said, "You're also involved, so I want to know your opinion on this matter. Actually, I know that the reason Nan Xiao is in such a hurry to get married is because there have been too many comments targeting the Huo family recently, and the Huo family has also been greatly affected by our family's affairs."

At this point, Xia Wanwan's voice suddenly stopped. She stared intently at Xia Ningxi's fair face and said, word by word, "He married me not because he loved me, but because he felt guilty towards me. I understand all of this. If you don't want a divorce, I can persuade him."

Xia Ningxi was amused by her words: "Advice to Huo Nanxiao? If you really didn't want to marry Huo Nanxiao, you wouldn't have gotten engaged to him, would you?"

Xia Wanwan seemed to have her secret exposed. She lowered her head and said, "It's true that I like Nan Xiao, you've always known that. If I hadn't gotten sick, I would definitely have married him and spent my life with him."

But everything has changed now. Nan Xiao is no longer the person who only had eyes for me. You and he are married and have children. Even if I like him, I can't ignore your feelings.

Regardless of the circumstances, Xia Ningxi is now Huo Nanxiao's rightful wife.

They are the only legally recognized married couple.

As long as Xia Ningxi is unwilling to divorce, Xia Wanwan will never be able to marry Huo Nanxiao.

They were well aware of this.

Xia Wanwan also knew that even if Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi divorced and she successfully entered the Huo family, she would not be able to live like an ordinary young mistress of a wealthy family, because Huo Nanxiao still had three children.

Furthermore, Huo Xiuyuan has stated that everything in the Huo family's future will be inherited by these three children.

Xia Wanwan's life after marrying into the Huo family won't actually be very good, unless Huo Nanxiao spoils her and gives her everything she wants, then Xia Wanwan might have a comfortable life.

Relying on a man's doting love to live a fulfilling life is the most unreliable thing in the world, because everything can change.

Hasn't Huo Nanxiao changed too?

Xia Wanwan said, "Ning Xi, I don't want to be a third party in your marriage. Of course, I also don't want to be talked about by the people of the capital. I want to live an upright life in the capital and be respected by everyone. But with my current physical condition, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to survive in high society."

Xia Ningxi understood what she meant, but she didn't follow Xia Wanwan's lead. She even looked down on Xia Wanwan.

Xia Ningxi knew that Xia Wanwan was using moral blackmail.

Xia Ningxi said, "Whether you can survive under the gossip of outsiders is your own business and has nothing to do with me. As for what happened back then, since the video is real, I will divorce Huo Nanxiao and return him to you. Then we will be even. I will definitely keep my promise. You don't need to try to trick me into saying anything here."

“That’s not what I meant…” Xia Wanwan explained.

Xia Ningxi sneered: "Don't worry, anyone can stop you from marrying Huo Nanxiao, but I won't. But you only have this one chance. After the divorce, whether you can keep Huo Nanxiao depends on yourself."

"So, you've decided to leave him?" Xia Wanwan asked, mustering her courage.

Xia Ningxi asked, "Do you have any other requests?"

Xia Wanwan said, "I want to know if you will stay in China?"

“That’s not something you should be asking,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Xia Wanwan said, "I don't want to pretend to be very generous. Of course, if I marry Huo Nanxiao, you will inevitably have some unpleasant topics to discuss in the capital. I want to know your next plans and the arrangements for the children."

"You're meddling too much," Xia Ningxi said, feeling dissatisfied.

She knew that Xia Wanwan didn't want her to stay in the country.

However, since Xia Ningxi has already decided to give up Huo Nanxiao, that's already quite good.

How dare Xia Wanwan ask about the child?

Does she want the children to stay and be raised by her, or does she hope that Xia Ningxi will take the children and leave for another place as if the Huo family never had these children?

Xia Ningxi is not a magnanimous person, and she doesn't like Xia Wanwan discussing topics related to children.

Xia Ningxi picked up her phone and got up to leave.

"I also ordered some tea and snacks. Let's have something to eat before you go," Xia Wanwan called out to her.

Xia Ningxi said, "There are no outsiders here, so there's no need to pretend to be such a sisterly friend in front of me."

"Ning Xi, do you hold a grudge against me?" Xia Wanwan looked at her, her voice trembling slightly.

Xia Ningxi said, "I'm not a saint, nor am I that magnanimous. It would be a lie to say I have no resentment at all, but I resent Huo Nanxiao, not you. My marriage with Huo Nanxiao is only up to the two of us, and has nothing to do with you."

Her divorce from Huo Nanxiao was voluntary.

There's no need to drag Xia Wanwan into everything; it's disgusting.

"Did you come alone?" Xia Ningxi asked her.

Xia Wanwan nodded: "Yes, I had the driver bring me here. There's no one else here."

"Okay." Xia Ningxi took out her phone and dialed Huo Nanxiao's number directly, saying, "Come over and pick him up."

"You didn't drive?" came the questioning voice of a man.

Xia Ningxi said, "Xia Wanwan and I are at the tea shop. Come over and take her home."

"How did you end up with her?" Huo Nanxiao asked, seemingly somewhat displeased with the matter.

Xia Ningxi told him, "Are you coming or not? I'm leaving. She's alone at the tea shop right now. If something happens to you and you don't come, don't blame me."

Once bitten, twice shy. Xia Wanwan is immobile and could easily have an accident if she were alone. Xia Ningxi doesn't want to get into any more trouble.

Huo Nanxiao had no choice but to leave work early and drive to the tea shop.

When he saw Xia Ningxi, his expression was somewhat complicated. Then, when he looked at Xia Wanwan, Huo Nanxiao's brows furrowed even more.

"I'm leaving the person to you. I'll be going now." Xia Ningxi didn't bother with pleasantries with Huo Nanxiao; she turned and left as soon as he arrived.

As for Xia Wanwan, she felt a little uneasy under Huo Nanxiao's cold and stern gaze.

Huo Nanxiao did not try to stop Xia Ningxi. After watching her drive away, he walked to the opposite side of Xia Wanwan and sat down.

"I'm free today, so I thought I'd ask Ning Xi out for a chat," Xia Wanwan explained instinctively, for some reason, afraid that Huo Nanxiao would get angry.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I can't go back on my word since I've already promised you. Why are you looking for Ning Xi?"

"I...I didn't mean to cause her any trouble," Xia Wanwan hurriedly replied.

Huo Nanxiao said, "She has already agreed to divorce me, and I have promised to marry you. She doesn't owe you anything anymore, Wanwan. There are some things I don't need to say but you should understand. Don't appear in front of her, and don't affect her and the child."
