Chapter 707 Mocking Fu Xiyu

Holding Xia Ningxi's soft body in his arms and breathing in her faint fragrance, Huo Nanxiao felt very at ease. This was a feeling that no one else could give him. Only when he was by Xia Ningxi's side could he feel so comfortable and at ease.

It was cold outside the car, and the temperature inside the car wasn't high either.

Huo Nanxiao draped his coat over her shoulders, covering her bare shoulders, and stared at her beautiful face for a long time.

"What are you looking at?" Xia Ningxi asked, a little embarrassed.

Huo Nanxiao smiled but didn't say anything. Instead, he pulled her into his arms and left a hickey on her shoulder.

Xia Ningxi was unhappy and looked at him with a resentful expression: "Don't you think you've gone too far?"

"I'm sorry," he said sincerely.

Xia Ningxi was speechless, seeing his sincere expression, she didn't know what to say to him.

After a long night of hard work, her stomach was growling with hunger.

Huo Nanxiao asked in a low voice, "What would you like to eat?"

"I'm not hungry, I want to go home." Xia Ningxi refused directly.

Huo Nanxiao put his arm around her waist and said softly, "I'm hungry. Come with me to eat. You can't refuse."

"Alright then, I'll give you that face." Xia Ningxi accepted the offer.

In the middle of the night, there were only some late-night food stalls and barbecue restaurants open outside, but no proper restaurants. Huo Nanxiao found a barbecue restaurant that was crowded.

"How about this place? They have barbecue, stir-fried dishes, and congee. You should like it," he asked.

Xia Ningxi nodded: "Then let's go with this one."

The two found an empty table and sat down.

The proprietress immediately came over with the menu.

Xia Ningxi was very hungry and ordered a lot of food.

When the dishes were served, the table was full, but Huo Nanxiao didn't eat much, while Xia Ningxi ate heartily.

Huo Nanxiao ladled a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of her: "This porridge is good, you should try it."

"Thank you." Xia Ningxi smiled broadly.

She really loves good food; whenever she eats something delicious, a bright smile always appears on her face.

Huo Nanxiao stared at her blankly for a moment, then placed all the delicious food in front of her.

Xia Ningxi was enjoying her meal alone, completely unaware that someone was walking towards them from a distance.

Jin Mingxi and his friends spent several hours at the bar and drank too much. When they came out, their stomachs felt uncomfortable, so they just wanted to find a random shop to have some porridge. They never expected to run into Huo Nanxiao outside.

"Am I seeing things? Is that Xia Ningxi?" Ji Feibai's eyes widened in disbelief.

Jin Mingxi looked at it seriously for a few seconds: "It's Xia Ningxi, no doubt."

Fu Xiyu frowned: "Why is she with Nan Xiao so late?"

Ji Feibai: "Is that even a question? Didn't you see her eating heartily? She must have been hungry last night, so Nan Xiao accompanied her out to eat."

Fu Xiyu harbored resentment towards Xia Ningxi because of Xia Wanwan's matter, and he was not happy to see the two of them outside so late.

However, the other brothers quite liked Xia Ningxi.

A doctor with a great reputation in the capital, with outstanding abilities—who wouldn't like someone like that?

"Dr. Xia, we meet again." Ji Feibai was the first to step forward, greeting her with a smile.

Xia Ningxi, who was enjoying her meal, looked up and saw four tall, handsome men standing in front of her. A mouthful of porridge got stuck in her throat, but she swallowed it with difficulty and pretended to be calm: "What a coincidence, what are you all doing here?"

"I just came out of a bar and was looking for something to eat. I didn't expect to be so lucky to run into you here." Ji Feibai pointed to the empty seat next to him: "Dr. Xia, do you mind if we sit at your table?"

"Please sit down." Xia Ningxi didn't know how to refuse.

Their seat was for four people. When it was just Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao, it was spacious and comfortable. But with four more grown men, Xia Ningxi had to move around a bit, and everyone squeezed in together.

Her stool was next to Huo Nanxiao's stool, and the two of them were pressed together.

Xia Ningxi was very embarrassed.

The person sitting opposite me, however, had a big smile on their face.

Ji Feibai accused Huo Nanxiao: "You're not being fair. We were upstairs, and you even brought Dr. Xia out, but you didn't even invite her upstairs for a get-together."

"Eat yours." Huo Nanxiao said coldly.

Ji Feibai raised an eyebrow and asked the waiter to bring over several sets of tableware.

Huo Nanxiao tossed the menu to them: "Order whatever you want."

"Then I won't be polite." Ji Feibai ordered everything on the menu.

The waiters were all stunned for a moment.

"That's all. Go place the order." Ji Feibai smiled very nicely.

The others were too lazy to look at the menu anymore, and seeing that there was porridge on the table, they shared some.

Helian Jue stared at Xia Ningxi and asked, "I heard that Dr. Xia has been treating Lin Jiangbei recently. Is he feeling any better?"

"No, it's still the same, but thankfully it hasn't gotten any worse." Xia Ningxi looked at him: "Do you know Lin Jiangbei too?"

Helian Jue said, "I don't know him, but I know his brother."

Xia Ningxi looked a little awkward and continued to drink her porridge with her head down.

Helian Jue looked at Huo Nanxiao: "How is your cooperation with the Ling family progressing?"

"It's still under investigation," Huo Nanxiao replied.

When two companies cooperate, they naturally need to consider each other's strengths.

Not only will the Ling family investigate Huo Nanxiao, but he will also investigate the Ling family.

Cooperation is a two-way street. If the Ling family does not meet Huo Nanxiao's requirements, he will not continue the negotiations. Fortunately, the latest investigation data shows that everything is normal.

Helian Jue said, "The Ling family's business in Lingcheng is doing very well, and their funds are very stable. I think it's worth considering."

Jin Mingxi nodded in agreement: "That's right. Although they are a family business, they are very united internally, and Ling Shuang is quite capable and has the right to speak. However, her mind is probably on Lin Jiangbei lately, so your cooperation may have to be postponed."

"I know." Huo Nanxiao wasn't particularly interested in this project either.

There are many ways to make money; there's no need to focus on just one project.

A group of people sat together, eating and chatting.

Later, all the dishes Ji Feibai ordered were served, and the small table couldn't hold them all, so the owner moved another table over to put them together, barely managing to fit everything.

Fu Xiyu noticed that Xia Ningxi had a very good appetite and asked her, "Dr. Xia, you seem to be quite relaxed lately. You even have time to go out for a late-night snack this late. I heard that Tang En and the others are guarding Lin Jiangbei 24 hours a day. You seem to have a lot of free time."

His opening statement was full of attacks.

Xia Ningxi smiled: "Tang En's team are Lin Jiangbei's attending physicians. Is there any problem with them taking care of the patient 24 hours a day?"

"And what about you?" Fu Xiyu asked in return.

Xia Ningxi said, "Young Master Fu, you can't be that stupid, can you? I'm just an ordinary doctor, I'm not obligated to watch over patients 24 hours a day. When I performed surgery on your sister, I didn't watch over her 24 hours a day either, don't you remember?"

These words reminded everyone that the last time Fu Mingyan was in trouble, it was Xia Ningxi who came to her rescue.

The Fu family owes Xia Ningxi a favor.

Even though Fu Xiyu had a problem with Xia Ningxi because of Xia Wanwan, he was too embarrassed to say anything too harsh at this time.

However, the Xia family is indeed in a difficult situation now.

Fu Xiyu said, "The Xia Group's stock market crash is no different from bankruptcy. All of this was Old Master Huo's idea. I wonder what your opinion is on this matter?"

“I’m a doctor. I only have opinions on patients’ conditions. I’m not clear about business matters.” Xia Ningxi refused to answer his question.

Fu Xiyu said, "So, you don't have anything to say about Xia Wenhe's bankruptcy?"

“Young Master Fu isn’t short of money. Since you care so much, why don’t you take out your own money to help them? Is it because you’re reluctant to spend money? The Fu family is rich and powerful. Saving a company on the verge of bankruptcy wouldn’t be difficult for them. You’ve known Sister Wanwan for many years. You shouldn’t be so heartless.” Xia Ningxi said with a pained expression.

Several young men nearby almost burst out laughing.

They were in great pain, and it took a lot of effort to force the smiles that were spreading across their faces back.

Jin Mingxi gulped down a mouthful of tea, not daring to laugh out loud.

Ji Feibai finally couldn't hold back, "Dr. Xia is right. I tried to persuade him in the same way before, but I don't think the Fu family would agree."

"Young Master Fu has his own company and his own cash flow. He shouldn't need the approval of the Fu family elders to do such a small thing, right?" Xia Ningxi added insult to injury.

Fu Xiyu silently put down his teacup: "You're very capable."
