Chapter 692 Marriage Exposed

Xia Ningxi was too lazy to think about it, and acted as if nothing had happened after returning home.

Huo Xiuyuan and Huo Nanxiao were still drinking tea at home, discussing something. Huo Xiuyuan seemed to be in a good mood, and it was likely that Huo Nanxiao hadn't told him about the divorce.

Xia Ningxi also planned to keep it a secret for the time being, otherwise Huo Xiuyuan would definitely fight with Huo Nanxiao if he found out about this. So she decided to let Huo Nanxiao off the hook for now, say nothing, and live peacefully for a few days until Lin Jiangbei's surgery was successful, then she could leave.

"dad."

Xia Ningxi greeted her politely.

When Huo Xiuyuan saw him return, he smiled and said, "You're back. Have you eaten? There's some food left for you at home."

"I've already eaten, thank you, Dad," Xia Ningxi replied.

Huo Xiuyuan said, "Come here, I have something to talk to you about."

Xia Ningxi felt strange, but she still obediently walked over and sat down next to Huo Nanxiao without deliberately keeping her distance from him.

Xia Ningxi didn't want to make the divorce public yet; when she needed to put on a show, she would still give Huo Nanxiao some face.

Perhaps because Xia Ningxi took the initiative to approach Huo Nanxiao, Huo Xiuyuan thought that their relationship had eased somewhat, and his mood had improved a lot.

Huo Xiuyuan said, "Nan Xiao told me about some company matters today. He plans to transfer some of the company's shares to the child's name. You will be able to receive dividends from the company every year, and you won't have to work so hard at the hospital. These days you've been going to the hospital almost all the time and haven't had time to spend with the child. Once you receive the dividends, life will be a little easier."

Xia Ningxi looked at Huo Nanxiao. When they divorced, she did not claim a share of the family property.

What is Huo Nanxiao trying to do? To keep her tied down?

Thinking of this, Xia Ningxi became more wary: "No need, my income is pretty good now, enough to live on."

"Money is never too much, so it's settled then." Huo Xiuyuan made the final decision, giving Xia Ningxi no chance to refuse.

Presumably, they felt it wasn't worthwhile to put all the resources on Huo Nanxiao alone, so they thought of giving more to Xia Ningxi, which could be seen as a way to avoid risks in advance and prevent the Huo family's assets from being divided up by unscrupulous people in the future.

In Huo Xiuyuan's mind, Xia Wanwan was only after the Huo family's money. If everything in the Huo family fell into Huo Nanxiao's hands, it would truly be just as Xia Wanwan and her group wanted.

Back upstairs, Xia Ningxi took a hot shower, tidied herself up, and then played with the children for a while.

Huo Nanxiao knew she had surgery the next day, so he told her to go home and rest while he took care of the baby.

The adorable little Chu Chu hugged Xia Ningxi's arm and said in a childish voice, "But I want to sleep with Mommy."

Huo Nanxiao said, "Your mommy is going to perform surgery on a patient tomorrow, so she needs to rest early tonight. Be a good girl, Chuchu, and let mommy go to sleep first."

"Okay." Chu Chu bit her lip pitifully, looking so wronged she was about to cry.

Xia Ningxi could only quickly leave the room and hand the child over to Huo Nanxiao to soothe.

Huo Nanxiao really enjoyed spending time with the three children. He picked up Chu Chu, who was about to cry, and said, "I'll play with you."

"I don't want to! You're a big bad guy! I'll hit you!" Chu Chu waved her little pink fists and started hitting Huo Nanxiao's face without any mercy.

Huo Nanxiao frowned, but didn't do anything to the little girl. She was still a child, his good daughter. He might as well let her be.

After venting her anger, she walked away and sat down, still fuming and ignoring everyone.

Huo Yuan noticed the scratches on Huo Nanxiao's face and asked in a low voice, "Does Daddy need to see a doctor?"

"No need. You three just go to sleep." Huo Nanxiao said patiently to the three little ones.

Chuchu threw a tantrum: "I don't want to sleep, I want to sleep with Mommy."

"Here's a hundred yuan, you can sleep by yourself." Huo Nanxiao had already taken out a banknote.

Chu Chu snorted, "No, I don't think it's enough."

"Here's two hundred." Huo Nanxiao had already stuffed the money into Chu Chu's hand.

For the sake of money, the young girl decided not to argue with Huo Nanxiao for the time being: "Alright, then I won't be angry with you anymore. I'll go to sleep by myself."

Chu Chu hugged her little hamster pillow and went to bed, finding a spot to sleep.

Huo Yuan was also very well-behaved, taking a toy to bed. As for Xingxing, he had been playing with the tablet computer. When he saw Huo Nanxiao looking at him, Xingxing said, "Daddy, take care."

None of the three children wanted Huo Nanxiao to stay; he was truly an insignificant father.

However, Huo Nanxiao stayed behind to put the three children to sleep.

The three little ones were probably too tired from playing during the day, and they fell asleep quickly. Huo Nanxiao saw that it was still early and went to the study. He found that Xia Ningxi's room light was still on. He knocked on the door and went in.

"Aren't you going to sleep yet?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi replied, "There are still some things I haven't finished."

"Get some rest," Huo Nanxiao advised.

Xia Ningxi asked, "Are the children all asleep?"

"Hmm." Huo Nanxiao sat down next to her, glanced at her computer—it was so late, and she was still studying Lin Jiangbei's information—and asked, "What are the chances of the surgery being successful tomorrow?"

Xia Ningxi shook her head: "Even if this kind of surgery is successful, the person may not survive."

"Why do you still need to do it?" Huo Nanxiao asked her.

Xia Ningxi said, "Because only by having the surgery can he have a few more days to live."

Everyone knew Lin Jiangbei's condition; someone like him was basically just waiting to die and was no longer suitable for multiple surgeries. But to just let him wait to die like that would be too disheartening.

Fortunately, Tang En's team has developed their own special medicine. If he's lucky, he'll have a better chance of survival; if he's unlucky, then it's just Lin Jiangbei's fate.

All Xia Ningxi could do was to do her best to perform the surgery well, and Tang En and the others would figure out the rest.

She was studying Lin Jiangbei's condition very seriously and didn't have time to pay attention to Huo Nanxiao. As for what decision the Ling family would make based on the outcome of the surgery, Xia Ningxi didn't care.

After waking up, she ate a hearty breakfast and immediately went to the hospital, going straight into the operating room.

Tang En's team was all ready and entered the operating room under the watchful eyes of the Ling family.

The long surgery kept everyone on edge. The operating room was completely sealed off, so those outside didn't know what was happening inside, and those inside didn't know what was going on outside.

Not long after Xia Ningxi entered the operating room, a sensational event spread throughout the hospital.

According to media reports, Xia Ningxi is actually Huo Nanxiao's legal wife, and was forced to obtain a divorce certificate from Huo Nanxiao yesterday.

Footage of the two entering and leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau together has also been released.

Everyone in the hospital was stunned. All they knew was that Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi had an unusual relationship and had been together, but Huo Nanxiao had always claimed that Xia Wanwan was his wife and that Xia Ningxi was at most a mistress who had secretly given birth to his child.

When the news broke that the Civil Affairs Bureau was processing divorces, everyone was stunned!

They never dreamed that Xia Ningxi was the original wife.

In an instant, the entire hospital was in an uproar, and at the same time, reporters and media gathered outside the Huo family's house.
