Chapter 750 A Wedding Gift Six Years in the Making

As for what Xia Wenhe and Zhou Fenglin were thinking, Huo Nanxiao didn't intend to care. He had given Xia Wanwan a promise, but he never thought of helping Xia Wenhe's family.

Huo Nanxiao knew this family's character all too well, so even if Huo Nanxiao married Xia Wanwan, he would not give them any benefits.

There were many onlookers. Huo Nanxiao hadn't paid attention to the guests who had arrived that day. He hadn't expected that many people would attend the wedding. But when he looked up and saw Xia Ningxi, he froze.

Huo Nanxiao thought he was seeing things. His gaze was fixed on the girl in the corner. She was wearing a simple black dress and standing in an inconspicuous place. Many people did not notice her, but Huo Nanxiao recognized her at a glance.

He started to panic.

“Son-in-law, we’re family now. As for what happened before…” Xia Wenhe tried to get closer to Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao didn't look at him, but glanced at Ye Su.

"President, what's wrong?" Ye Su walked up quickly and asked in a low voice.

Huo Nanxiao lowered his voice: "Why is she here? Doesn't she have a surgery today?"

Ye Su: "Perhaps she has finished her work. The young mistress must have come with Young Master Li. The two of them have been standing together the whole time."

Ye Su didn't know when Xia Ningxi appeared, but it was actually normal for her to be here.

"Xia Wanwan sent an invitation to the young mistress, inviting her to the wedding. The young mistress is a polite person and shouldn't cause trouble at this crucial moment," Ye Su kindly reminded her.

Huo Nanxiao was filled with mixed feelings. He didn't want Xia Ningxi to be here, and he hoped that Xia Ningxi could pretend that she knew nothing about it.

Perhaps it was Xia Ningxi's appearance that made Huo Nanxiao lose patience. He said to Xia Wenhe, "The Xia Group has nothing to do with me, and I have nothing to do with you either. Stop calling me son-in-law. I can't stand it."

Xia Wenhe, feeling embarrassed, forced a dry laugh and said, "I am Wanwan's father. If you marry Wanwan, then we are family. Family doesn't need to be so formal."

Huo Nanxiao warned in a low voice: "There are some things I can't say outright, and you don't need to try to get on my good side."

Xia Wenhe froze. At his age, he was understandably upset to be humiliated like this by a junior. However, considering what Zhou Fenglin and Xia Luoluo had done before, Xia Wenhe decided not to offer any further explanation. There was plenty of time in the future. In any case, Xia Wanwan had already married Huo Nanxiao, and the wedding had been held. It would be impossible for Huo Nanxiao to get rid of Xia Wanwan now.

They just need to stay calm; there will be plenty of ways to get benefits from Huo Nanxiao in the future.

Xia Wenhe chuckled twice to ease the awkwardness.

After seeing Huo Nanxiao's attitude, Xia Wanwan didn't say anything and said to Huo Nanxiao, "Let's exchange rings."

Huo Nanxiao did not answer.

Xia Wanwan glanced at the emcee.

The emcee, holding the microphone, announced loudly, "On this lively night, let's turn our attention to the stage. Next, please welcome the newlyweds to exchange wedding rings."

"It is said that Mr. Huo spent tens of millions to hire a top jeweler to create a ring exclusively for his bride. This is a testament to their love. Please invite the groom to put the ring on the bride's finger!"

The assistant presented the wedding rings, and countless eyes were drawn to them.

The ring is beautiful; the diamond is large and sparkly, shining brilliantly under the light.

Without a doubt, this ring is extremely valuable, worth a fortune.

Xia Ningxi stood below the stage watching this scene unfold, feeling as if her heart was bleeding.

She and Huo Nanxiao had been married for many years, but there was no romantic wedding, no emotional vows, and no beautiful ring.

Over the years, Huo Nanxiao gave Xia Wanwan everything a wife should have, but he gave Xia Ningxi nothing.

How could she not be upset?

Thankfully, it's over.

Seeing him marry the woman he loved, Xia Ningxi's heart could finally die completely.

It was a wrong start to begin with, and now we've just returned to where we started. Indeed, in this world, incompatible people will eventually part ways no matter how long they go on, and only those who truly love each other can stay together until the end.

No matter what Xia Wanwan has been through over the years, she has finally reached the place that belongs to her.

It's laughable that all Xia Ningxi has done over the years has only benefited others.

"Once the rings are exchanged, the two of you are married. You have one last chance. Aren't you going to do anything?"

Li Yancheng suddenly spoke, his tone full of teasing.

Xia Ningxi smiled and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

“Of course we should rush up and stop them from getting married; that would probably cause quite a stir,” Li Yancheng suggested.

Xia Ningxi simply rolled her eyes at him without giving any reply.

“If you miss this opportunity, you’ll never have another chance, Xia Ningxi. You need to know that after Xia Wanwan marries Huo Nanxiao, she will be able to divide up the Huo family’s assets in just a few years. In the end, your child will receive very little. If Xia Wanwan is lucky enough to give the Huo family a few big, healthy grandsons, then your child will have no place to stand in the future,” Li Yancheng continued to remind him.

Xia Ningxi shrugged indifferently: "I can afford to raise these children. Even without Huo Nanxiao, I can still raise them to adulthood healthily. Not everyone wants what the Huo family has."

Li Yancheng: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the children. Without a strong family background to back them up, they'll be bullied when they go out into the world."

Xia Ningxi did not give him any response. Since she had already chosen to divorce Huo Nanxiao, she had no intention of making a scene at the wedding, nor would she allow herself to be treated like a monkey in a show by so many people.

Silently watching all of this, watching the man and woman exchange rings under everyone's gaze, her heart died completely.

"Let's go," she said softly.

Li Yancheng grasped her wrist: "Where are we going?"

"It's time to go. Staying here will only cause trouble," Xia Ningxi said.

Li Yancheng: "I gave Huo Nanxiao a wedding gift. Don't you want to see what it is?"

"No," Xia Ningxi refused.

Li Yancheng's eyes were filled with danger: "If I told you I've been preparing this gift for six years, would you like to see it?"

A glint flashed in Xia Ningxi's eyes, her complex gaze falling on Li Yancheng, utterly puzzled: "What happened six years ago? Haven't you already explained everything? Is there anything else you want to say?"

Li Yancheng smiled slightly: "What I told Huo Nanxiao was just what I wanted him to see. As for what happened back then, that was also just what I wanted him to see. Now that he has married Xia Wanwan, there is no need to hide some things."

"Are you hiding something from him?" Xia Ningxi's gaze sharpened.

Li Yancheng smiled. "The ceremony is complete. Let's go. It's time to congratulate the newlyweds."

He took Xia Ningxi's hand and led her towards the eye-catching newlyweds in the crowd.
