Xia Ningxi lay in a pool of blood after a difficult labor from her two-year marriage, completely forgetting that it was the day of his wedding to someone else.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Leave th...
Chapter 738 Congratulations on marrying the one you love.
All of this was the result of Huo Nanxiao weighing the pros and cons.
He knew perfectly well who could afford to lose and who had a greater capacity to withstand the consequences.
Xia Wanwan is not as strong as Xia Ningxi. Even without this marriage, Xia Ningxi can live well on her own, but Xia Wanwan is different. She is such a sensitive person, and her health is not good. Now she is being ridiculed by a group of people. She doesn't know how difficult the road ahead will be.
Huo Nanxiao was unwilling to let Xia Wanwan fall into an abyss of no return, so he did not hesitate at all when he chose to marry her. He knew he had to make this choice.
As for others' lack of understanding, Huo Nanxiao didn't want to say anything more.
He said firmly to Huo Xiuyuan, "Wanwan did nothing wrong. She's different from the Xia family. She got sick because of me. Now that you've taken action against the Xia Group, Xia Wanwan will have even less of a good life. Dad, I know you're doing this for my own good and for the good of the whole family, but without Xia Wanwan, I wouldn't be alive today. I hope you won't hold a grudge against her."
If you have any complaints, you can vent them on me. Don't go looking for trouble with her. Her health is already very poor, and I don't want to feel guilty for the rest of my life.
Huo Xiuyuan clenched his fists: "She has many choices!"
Huo Nanxiao: "But marrying me is her best choice."
Huo Xiuyuan said angrily, "So she has impure intentions."
"I made a promise to her long ago, and I betrayed her. She still wants to marry me, simply because of her deep affection. She didn't intend to destroy my family or drive Xia Ningxi away. Divorce was my decision, and marrying Xia Wanwan was also my decision. She did nothing wrong," Huo Nanxiao reiterated.
He didn't want Huo Xiuyuan to blame Xia Wanwan for everything, because he knew that it was all because of him.
All of this was Huo Nanxiao's own decision. If he didn't want to marry Xia Wanwan, even if Xia Wanwan held a knife to Huo Nanxiao's neck to force him, he would not agree.
All we can say is that Huo Nanxiao did it all of this voluntarily.
He had long wanted to give Xia Wanwan a perfect wedding and take good care of her for the rest of her life.
Xia Ningxi stood on the steps, silent for a few seconds, unsure whether she should go down.
Huo Nanxiao probably sensed a strange gaze directed at him. He looked up and unexpectedly met Xia Ningxi's eyes. His heart skipped a beat, and for a moment, he felt a little flustered. He was worried that Xia Ningxi had heard what he had just said, and his heart sank.
"When did you come down?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi suppressed the turmoil in her heart and smiled slightly at Huo Nanxiao: "It's been a long time."
Huo Nanxiao's expression darkened.
Xia Ningxi didn't look at him. She walked downstairs and said to Huo Xiuyuan, "Dad, Nan Xiao and I divorced amicably. It's his business who he wants to marry. I will take good care of the children. No matter where I go in the future, the children will still be your grandchildren. You can come to visit them anytime."
"Silly child, don't you know why I'm angry?" Huo Xiuyuan asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "I know, but I have no feelings for him anymore. Continuing this marriage will only be torture for both of us. It's better to break up and the family can still live in harmony. If it really comes down to a life-or-death situation, no one will be the winner. If he wants to marry Xia Wanwan, then let him be. I don't need him."
Huo Xiuyuan was furious: "You two are husband and wife, why are you giving it to Xia Wanwan? Are you stupid?"
“Dad, I know very well what I want, and I know you mean well for me and for the good of this family, but forcing two people who don’t love each other together will only backfire.” Xia Ningxi’s voice was clear and crisp.
She didn't look at Huo Nanxiao, nor did she intend to plead for him; she simply didn't want these matters to affect her.
Huo Nanxiao's marriage to Xia Wanwan was destined long ago. No matter what happens in the future, it will not change Huo Nanxiao's mind. He will definitely pay any price for the woman he loves.
No matter what Huo Xiuyuan does, he can't change Huo Nanxiao's mind. Unless Huo Nanxiao dies, Xia Wanwan might give up the idea of marrying him. But no matter how angry Huo Xiuyuan is, he will at most beat Huo Nanxiao up. He can't really take Huo Nanxiao's life.
The Huo family needs a young person to take over this huge family business. Huo Xiuyuan can't really wait twenty years until the children grow up. He doesn't know how old he will be in twenty years, and he doesn't have the energy to manage the huge family business left behind.
Huo Xiuyuan could not stop Huo Nanxiao.
When he makes up his mind to marry someone, no one can stop him.
If that's the case, then why escalate everything to a life-or-death situation?
Xia Ningxi's gaze fell on Huo Nanxiao: "I know you can't give up Xia Wanwan, and of course, I can't give up everything that belongs to the children either. If you don't want to let me and the children suffer, then give some of your assets to the children. My income is good enough to raise them well."
"I know." Huo Nanxiao was aware of all of this.
Xia Ningxi forced a smile and said to Huo Xiuyuan, "Dad, I have no grudges against him. It was all our own choice. I hope you can respect me and not drag me into it. I just want to focus on my work. Nothing else matters anymore."
Huo Xiuyuan felt extremely guilty and didn't know what to say. He knew that Xia Ningxi had been forced to say those words; if she had a choice, how could she have abandoned her family and left her children without a father?
She must have been heartbroken to choose to let go, right?
Huo Xiuyuan said helplessly, "Since you've said that, I can't say anything more. But don't worry, the future of the Huo family belongs to the three children, and no one can take it away from them."
"Thank you, Dad." Xia Ningxi was very grateful.
She poured Huo Xiuyuan a glass of chilled red wine so he could drink it and calm down.
Huo Xiuyuan was furious when he saw Huo Nanxiao, but he couldn't control himself. In the end, he left in a huff, and no one knew what he was going to do.
After seeing Huo Xiuyuan off, Xia Ningxi walked towards the elevator.
"Thank you for what happened earlier." Huo Nanxiao took Xia Ningxi's hand as they passed each other.
Xia Ningxi lowered her head: "I didn't do it all for you. I did all this for myself."
“Dad doesn’t like Wanwan because he feels he owes you something,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi chuckled: "That's why I spoke up for you. This time I don't owe you anything, and I don't want to bear any infamy. I hope you can stay with the one you love until you grow old together."
"Do you really think that way?" Huo Nanxiao felt uneasy.
Xia Ningxi didn't look at him, and said softly, "Yes. This is probably what you wanted most, right? After all these years, you can finally marry the woman you love. You must be... very happy, right?"
