Chapter 70 Stars, My Daddy Wants to See You

Xia Ningxi ran to the window to look outside, and Huo Nanxiao really hadn't left.

She felt uneasy.

Back inside, she sat silently in the middle of the living room.

Xia Jingcheng also went to check, and after confirming that Huo Nanxiao was still there, she asked her, "Why hasn't he left yet?"

"I don't know." Xia Ningxi shook her head.

Xia Jingcheng said, "Could there be another purpose?"

Other motives?

What could Huo Nanxiao's purpose be? Could it be that he's here to see the two children again?

Xia Ningxi's expression turned very ugly.

Xia Jingcheng also realized that things were more complicated than he had imagined, and said to Xia Ningxi, "I'll move out tomorrow."

"Move away? Move to where?" Xia Chuchu was very surprised.

Xingxing remained silent; he actually knew everything, but at this moment, he had a deep expression on his face.

Xia Jingcheng replied, "How about we find a place close to your mom's workplace?"

"Great! That way I can go to the hospital to see Mommy every day!" Xia Chuchu was very happy.

Xia Xingxing taught her, "Little sister, Mommy is very busy. Don't go to Mommy's workplace and disturb her work."

“But my brother used to go every day, and I’ve never been,” Xia Chuchu said, dissatisfied.

Xingxing said, "It costs me money to go. Are you willing to spend the money?"

Xia Chuchu's face turned pale.

Xia Xingxing snorted and said to Xia Ningxi, "Mommy, are you hungry? We've saved some dinner for you. Do you want to eat now?"

He didn't ask any further questions about Huo Nanxiao, not even a single one.

Xia Ningxi simply ignored Huo Nanxiao, ate something casually, and then went to take a shower and change her clothes.

After washing up and getting dressed, Xia Ningxi returned to her bedroom and looked outside. Huo Nanxiao had already left, and Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief.

At night, the two little ones fought over who got to sleep with Xia Ningxi.

Xia Chuchu held Xia Ningxi in her two little arms and asked in her childish voice, "Mommy, just how rich is Uncle Rich?"

"Why are you asking this?" Xia Ningxi inquired.

Xia Chuchu asked, "Could he have enough money to fill twenty piggy banks?"

Xia Ningxi wanted to laugh a little. She rubbed Chu Chu's obedient little head and said, "Okay, don't think so much. Go to sleep."

"Mommy, does Uncle Rich like you?" Chu Chu asked again.

Xia Ningxi froze, her hand stroking hers.

Does Huo Nanxiao like her?

How is that possible?

That's simply impossible.

Xia Ningxi shook her head: "No. It's not."

Xia Chuchu's face fell: "No, that's such a pity."

"What's a pity?" Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled.

Xia Chuchu said, "Uncle Youqian is so rich, I wish he could be my daddy. Chuchu misses her daddy."

Xia Ningxi felt a pang of sadness. She had always known that Xia Chuchu wanted a father, but Xia Ningxi couldn't provide that.

As for Huo Nanxiao, he probably really hopes to have two more children, so that even if his Xia Wanwan remains in a coma for the rest of her life, she can still firmly hold the position of the eldest young mistress of the Huo family.

Thinking about this, Xia Ningxi couldn't be happy at all. She became very irritable and didn't continue to dwell on the topic.

She was very tired and fell asleep quickly.

Xingxing and Chuchu, the two children, slept too much during the day and are still full of energy.

Once Xia Ningxi was asleep, Xia Chuchu crawled to Xingxing's side and whispered, "Brother, is Uncle Youqian really not our daddy?"

"No," Xia Xingxing denied.

Xia Chuchu said, "But my brother looks a lot like him."

Xia Xingxing raised her chin arrogantly: "Nonsense, how could I possibly look like a bad person like him? Mommy already said he's not a good person, so don't even think about his money."

Xia Chuchu was extremely sad: "Do I really not have a daddy?"

“Okay, little sister, I will protect you. Don’t be sad. If Daddy isn’t here, then Mommy is. She’s very good to us. You don’t want Mommy to be sad, do you?” Xia Xingxing asked.

He nodded slightly.

Xia Xingxing patted Chu Chu's head: "Then don't mention Daddy in front of Mommy anymore, okay?"

"But he's so rich, his car is so expensive, it can sell for a lot of money." Chu Chu said pitifully.

Xia Xingxing froze as she touched her hand, her face darkening as she said, "Chu Chu, why do you keep bringing up money? Don't you still have money in your piggy bank?"

"Not enough," Xia Chuchu replied, sounding aggrieved.

Xia Xingxing simply ignored her.

All she could think about was money, money, money; she wasn't listening to a word he said.

Mommy clearly doesn't like Daddy, otherwise why wouldn't she tell them?

And even though Daddy doesn't want Mommy anymore, Chu Chu is still thinking about him. Humph, I'm angry.

Xia Xingxing was angry all night.

Chu Chu had no idea about any of this, but the two of them didn't dwell on it for long and soon fell asleep.

When Xia Ningxi woke up in the morning, Xingxing woke up too.

Xingxing is a very caring child. Worried that Xia Ningxi wouldn't have time to eat breakfast, she served Xia Ningxi her breakfast early in the morning.

After Xia Ningxi finished washing up, she could finally have a hot meal of rice.

Xia Jingcheng cooked all the dishes, and they tasted great.

"You've lost weight these past few days, eat more." Xia Jingcheng kept putting food on her plate.

Xia Ningxi smiled slightly: "Thank you, brother. I can manage on my own."

"Is his injury alright?" Xia Jingcheng asked.

Xia Ningxi knew he was asking about Huo Yuan. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "He's doing well. He's recovering quickly and can already get out of bed and walk. He should be able to run in another half month."

"That's good. When do you plan to leave? I'll make some preparations." Xia Jingcheng asked.

Xia Ningxi said, "The sooner the better."

Huo Nanxiao already knows where she lives. It's not safe for Xingxing and Chuchu to live here. It would be best to move to a safer place, preferably one where Huo Nanxiao can't find them.

Xia Jingcheng said, "Then I'll prepare to go abroad."

Xia Ningxi tightened her grip on the chopsticks and nodded, "Okay."

Go abroad?

That's fine too.

I'd go anywhere as long as I can get away from Huo Nanxiao.

After finishing breakfast, Xia Ningxi took a taxi to work.

Xingxing stood at the door watching her departing figure, feeling very sad.

Xia Jingcheng noticed and asked, "Is Xingxing unhappy?"

"Uncle, are we leaving already after just returning to the capital?" Xia Xingxing blinked her big eyes.

Xia Jingcheng said, "Didn't you say you liked kindergartens abroad? How about we go back to the kindergarten you used to attend?"

"Uncle...Mommy is hiding something from me, isn't she?" Xia Xingxing asked.

Xia Jingcheng hadn't expected Xia Xingxing to be so clever. After pondering for a while, he denied it: "No, why would your mommy hide it from you?"

Xia Xingxing's face scrunched up; he was unhappy because he knew Xia Jingcheng was lying.

Mommy just doesn't want them to know about Daddy's existence.

Daddy is a bad person. Daddy must have bullied Mommy, which is why Mommy doesn't want to acknowledge that he exists.

Thinking about this, Huo Yuan felt sad. He returned to his room in a sullen mood, only to find his smartwatch ringing. It was Huo Yuan calling.

Xia Xingxing was very happy and answered the call immediately.

"Xingxing, when are you going to come visit me?" Huo Yuan's voice was full of anticipation.

Xia Xingxing asked, "Are you free today?"

"It's convenient for me. My dad is here too, and he said he'd like to meet you," Huo Yuan warmly invited.
