Chapter 775 I Refuse Bigamy

Xia Ningxi nearly choked on Huo Xiuyuan's words. She even doubted if there was something wrong with her ears. She silently ate a mouthful of white rice without replying.

"Unwilling?" Huo Xiuyuan asked again.

Xia Ningxi didn't know how to answer him, so she could only secretly kick Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao looked down at her.

Xia Ningxi winked at him.

"You kicked me." Huo Nanxiao said calmly.

Xia Ningxi's lips twitched. Was this guy crazy? Why did she kick him? It was all because Huo Xiuyuan made them commit bigamy!

Neither of them intended to commit bigamy, so Xia Ningxi couldn't be left to fend off Huo Xiuyuan's sweet talk alone, could she?

She said, "Dad is asking you a question."

Huo Nanxiao: "He's asking about you."

Xia Ningxi couldn't eat anymore; she was a little angry! No, to be precise, she was extremely angry!

“Dad, I have no intention of remarrying Huo Nanxiao. You don’t need to persuade me. He probably feels the same way. We’re fine as we are now. I’ll bring the children back to see you when you miss them,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Huo Xiuyuan: "How can these be the same?"

“Nan Xiao and I visited Xia Wanwan today. She’s not feeling well. Nan Xiao will pick her up in a couple of days. They’re people who want to live a good life together, and so am I,” Xia Ningxi reminded her.

Huo Xiuyuan's face turned green upon hearing Xia Wanwan's name. He glared at Huo Nanxiao and said, "You still have the nerve to see her? She was the one who started bothering you?"

"No," Huo Nanxiao denied, not wanting to offer any further explanation on the matter.

Huo Xiuyuan scolded him: "If it's not her, why did you go to see her? She's a liar, do you want to tarnish the Huo family's reputation? If you associate with someone like that, it won't just affect you, but the entire Huo family."

"I will handle my own affairs well, so Dad won't have to worry. As for Xia Wanwan, I will manage my relationship with her well and won't let the Huo family be implicated," Huo Nanxiao assured him.

Sitting across from him, Huo Jinchuan sipped his red wine with a satisfied smile, saying, "Dad, my eldest brother's feelings for Xia Wanwan are special. We are, after all, outsiders and don't understand the relationship between him and Xia Wanwan. Perhaps they are the most suitable couple."

"What do you know? Shut up." Huo Xiuyuan cursed.

Huo Jinchuan's smile froze. He hadn't expected Huo Xiuyuan to scold him too, and he immediately became obedient.

Huo Xiuyuan didn't care what Huo Nanxiao thought. His attitude was clear: "I don't like Xia Wanwan, and I will never agree to let this woman enter the Huo family. I was very tolerant of her before because she saved you. If the Xia family is still so ill-mannered, don't blame me for being impolite."

"I understand." Huo Nanxiao had a plan in mind.

No one enjoyed the dinner.

Huo Xiuyuan had no appetite and didn't want to make a scene in front of the child, so he only ate a few bites before stopping. Before leaving, he said to Xia Ningxi, "Stay here tonight and don't go to work. I've already spoken to your director."

"Okay, thank you, Dad." Xia Ningxi agreed with a smile, but she felt very depressed inside.

She never intended to stay, but now she can't leave even if she wants to, so she can only sit there and sulk.

After the three children had eaten their fill, Qu Huilan took them to the playground in the back hills to play.

The huge restaurant was now empty except for Huo Nanxiao, Xia Ningxi, and Huo Jinchuan, who was watching the show.

With the onlookers gone, Xia Ningxi immediately voiced her thoughts: "I must leave here tonight."

"Where to?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi said, "Let's go back to the staff dormitory."

"Dad wants you to stay here," Huo Nanxiao said.

Xia Ningxi: "We're already divorced, there's no need for this pretense. You know I don't want to stay, why force me?"

"This is Dad's idea." Huo Nanxiao shifted all the blame onto Huo Xiuyuan.

“Brother, Dad wants you to persuade Xia Ningxi to stay, that’s why he kept her here. The person you love is Xia Wanwan, so you probably don’t want to have anything to do with Xia Ningxi at a time like this, right? If you don’t want to send her away, I can do it for you.” Huo Jinchuan offered his help.

Huo Nanxiao: "Get lost, this is none of your business."

“We’re family, and I’m willing to serve you like a dog.” Huo Jinchuan wasn’t so easily appeased.

Xia Ningxi: "Then take me back."

"Okay," Huo Jinchuan agreed.

Xia Ningxi was very happy. She put down her chopsticks and went to instruct the housekeeper to take good care of the child.

The butler looked worried: "Young Madam, you should stay tonight. If the Master finds out you're gone, he'll probably target Young Master Huo again."

"I still have a lot of things to take care of, so I won't stay any longer," Xia Ningxi said.

Butler: "Then I'll go and report to the master."

"No need, there's no need to tell him about such a small matter." Xia Ningxi dared not let Huo Xiuyuan know. He was determined to have Xia Ningxi remarry Huo Nanxiao, and he certainly wouldn't let Xia Ningxi leave like this.

After packing her things, Xia Ningxi left without taking her child, grabbed her phone, and hurriedly left the house.

Huo Jinchuan's car was parked in the yard, and he was already sitting in the driver's seat waiting.

Just as Xia Ningxi opened the car door to get in, it was slammed shut by someone with a loud bang, accompanied by intense anger.

Huo Nanxiao, who had appeared behind Xia Ningxi without her noticing, impatiently closed the car door and said, "Stay tonight."

“No,” she refused.

Huo Nanxiao: "I have something to tell you."

"I have nothing to say to you," Xia Ningxi said decisively.

Huo Nanxiao said unhappily, "Don't force me to use force against you."

"You're crazy." Xia Ningxi cursed, then climbed into Huo Jinchuan's car without hesitation, reminding him, "Drive faster."

"Okay." Huo Jinchuan prepared to drive.

Xia Ningxi reached for the seatbelt.

Huo Nanxiao lost his patience. He strode forward, grabbed Xia Ningxi's slender wrist, and scooped her up in his arms.

"What are you doing? Put me down!" Xia Ningxi was startled.

Huo Nanxiao ignored her and carried her into the house.

Xia Ningxi struggled: "Huo Nanxiao! Can't you understand human language? Put me down!"

His grip on her didn't loosen even slightly, nor did he intend to put her down. No matter how much Xia Ningxi struggled, it was useless.

Enraged, she pounced on Huo Nanxiao's shoulder and bit him hard.

Huo Nanxiao's expression hardened. Without a word, he carried Xia Ningxi upstairs, closed and locked the door, and then put her down.

Xia Ningxi pushed him away and was about to leave.

Huo Nanxiao placed one hand on the door lock, preventing her from touching it.

Unable to leave, Xia Ningxi angrily asked, "What exactly do you want?"

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Huo Nanxiao stared into her eyes.

Xia Ningxi sneered: "What's there to say between us? Didn't we break off all ties long ago? I won't pry into your private affairs, and you shouldn't come looking for trouble with me. I thought someone as smart as President Huo should know my stance."

“It’s impossible for us to completely sever ties,” Huo Nanxiao said.
