Chapter 683 The Ling Family, Her Past

Perhaps, Huo Nanxiao didn't know why, but suddenly he became very concerned about Xia Ningxi.

Perhaps it was because Xia Ningxi was able to save Lin Jiangbei, or perhaps it was because she had saved Xia Wanwan and many other people, that he had an indescribable feeling towards Xia Ningxi.

Fortunately, Xia Ningxi was not injured in the car accident, and it was almost dawn when the two got home.

Xia Ningxi returned to her room, took a quick shower, and went straight to sleep.

Huo Nanxiao didn't rest; he processed all the files in his email that hadn't been finished yet.

The children woke up early, before the cook arrived for work, so Huo Nanxiao prepared breakfast for the three children.

Huo Yuan rubbed his big eyes and asked blankly, "Daddy, where's Mommy?"

"Your mom won't be back until dawn. After you've eaten, everyone should go out and play. Don't disturb her rest," Huo Nanxiao reminded her.

Huo Yuan nodded: "I know. Mommy has been working so hard lately, the hospital matters haven't been resolved for so long."

“If you go abroad with her, you probably won’t see her often in the future, and you won’t see Daddy either,” Huo Nanxiao said.

Huo Yuan's face fell: "Really?"

“Of course it’s fake,” Xingxing replied immediately.

Huo Nanxiao glanced at Xingxing. This little guy was like a thorn in his side. Every time Huo Nanxiao tried to coax the child with a little ulterior motive, Xingxing could see through him immediately.

Huo Nanxiao really couldn't understand why Xingxing was so hard to fool, since the three children were all about the same intelligence.

He said with a serious expression, "Your mother is already this busy at Ninghai Hospital. She will only be busier when she goes abroad to do research and work on projects."

“Daddy doesn’t know anything, that’s not true at all. Mommy was doing research in Uncle Don’s team back then. She was very busy, but she always left work on time and rarely worked overtime.”

Xingxing lowered her head sadly as she said this: "Ever since Mommy returned to China, she has been performing surgeries on patients. She finally got a few days off, but then there were so many more patients at the hospital that she couldn't get a proper rest. She is very tired now, and it was much easier for her when she was abroad."

Besides performing surgeries on patients, Xia Ningxi also needs to participate in the hospital's research projects, so she is basically never idle and has very little time to spend with them.

Hearing Xingxing's words, Huo Yuan felt a pang of sympathy: "Mommy is so pitiful. She's really too tired. I don't want Mommy to suffer like this either."

“If you don’t want her to work so hard, you can let her go back to the research institute. I will provide research funding unconditionally. She can lead the team by herself and leave work whenever she wants. She will be the boss. Of course, the premise is that she stays in the capital city.” Huo Nanxiao offered very favorable conditions.

Xingxing rolled her eyes: "Daddy's wishful thinking is really something."

Huo Nanxiao's face darkened.

After eating and drinking her fill, Xingxing put her bowl on the table and said seriously, "Daddy, you should really think about your marriage with Xia Wanwan. After all, the Ling family has already come to the capital. If you don't give them an explanation, your cooperation won't work out. If it falls on Uncle Li, Daddy will be in big trouble."

"Don't talk nonsense." Huo Nanxiao's gaze was sharp.

Xingxing said, "I'm not talking nonsense. Doesn't Daddy want to cooperate with the Ling family? That's what the news says. They even said that Daddy will marry Xia Wanwan in a short time."

People who frequently use the internet have heard of this.

Xingxing is very familiar with computers and carries one with her almost every day. She can detect any slight disturbance immediately.

He had known all along that Daddy didn't like Mommy, which was why he was unwilling to reveal Mommy's identity.

If Daddy were willing to give Mommy a place, Mommy wouldn't be so disheartened as to decide to leave.

"I'm full, Daddy, remember to clean up the table." Xingxing put down her chopsticks and left.

Chu Chu silently put down her chopsticks: "I'm full too."

Without even glancing at Huo Nanxiao, the little girl eagerly followed Xingxing.

Huo Yuan sat opposite Huo Nanxiao without saying a word. Noticing the man staring at him, the little guy quickly lowered his head and shoveled the noodles in his bowl a few times. He ate very fast, as if he wanted to finish half a bowl of noodles in one go and run away.

"Slow down," Huo Nanxiao said, displeased.

Huo Yuan's small body stiffened for a few seconds, then he nodded obediently and slowed down.

"Do you share the same thoughts as them?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Little Huo Yuan lowered his head and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, I just want Mommy to be happy. I will unconditionally support all of Mommy's decisions."

"Even if this decision will make you lose your dad?" Huo Nanxiao asked rhetorically.

Huo Yuan answered seriously, "Although I really enjoy being with Daddy, I prefer Mommy to be happy. Besides, my little brother said that a lot of people want to be our daddy, and the line is so long it goes all the way to France. I think, one daddy is a better deal than a hundred daddies."

Huo Nanxiao's face twitched violently. He regretted asking Huo Yuan; the answer would make him so angry he'd vomit blood.

It seems that none of the three children are close to her.

Huo Nanxiao resigned himself to his fate.

After sitting and waiting for Huo Yuan to finish his noodles, Huo Nanxiao tidied up the table and went upstairs to rest.

The three children will be fine with the help of a maid.

On Monday morning, Xia Wanwan arrived at the Huo family's old residence.

She didn't know how she found out that Huo Xiuyuan wasn't home, which is why she dared to go to his house on her own initiative.

Huo Nanxiao did not leave Xia Wanwan sitting outside the door, but invited her into the Huo family's old mansion.

Xia Wanwan actually felt she rarely had the opportunity to come here, and she didn't dare to come here.

However, the Ling family had already approached Xia Wanwan to inquire about the situation. She knew that Xia Ningxi was at the Huo family's old residence, which was why she decided to come here to find Huo Nanxiao.

Xia Wanwan knew that it was better to be open and direct than to meet Huo Nanxiao secretly.

She can't hide forever.

When the housekeeper saw Xia Wanwan, his disdain was practically overflowing. None of the servants welcomed Xia Wanwan either; they all had stern faces and were extremely indifferent.

Xia Wanwan realized that she was not popular, so she didn't bother to argue with them and directly explained her purpose after meeting Huo Nanxiao.

"The Ling family came to see me today. For some reason, they kept asking about you and Ningxi. It seemed like they were hiding something and didn't dare to say it openly. I wanted to remind you that Ningxi might have offended the Ling family." Xia Wanwan took the initiative to show concern for Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi originally didn't want to pay any attention to Xia Wanwan, but since this person happened to appear while she was cooking, she had no choice but to see her.

Xia Ningxi replied, "I recently performed a surgery on a patient who was sent by the Ling family."

"So that's how it is. I thought you two had some kind of grudge," Xia Wanwan said with a sudden realization.

Xia Ningxi raised an eyebrow: "A holiday? Why do you say that?"

Xia Wanwan said, "I don't know either. I just felt that the people who came to inquire about you today were not friendly and kept asking about your past."

"Ling Shuang?" Xia Ningxi frowned.

Why did Ling Shuang go to the Xia family to inquire about her past?

Xia Ningxi is a doctor. They only need to know about the surgeries she has performed and her abilities. Why are they so interested in a doctor's private life?

Ling Shuang...

Mausoleum...

Xia Ningxi suddenly realized something, and her face turned deathly pale.
