Chapter 791 Being with the person he loves most

Huo Nanxiao did not move. His deep, sharp eyes were suffocatingly cold. He looked at Xia Ningxi's beautiful face, but saw only determination and resolve.

She had long ago made up her mind to ignore whether Xia Wanwan lived or died.

Huo Nanxiao's hand tightened, his long, slender fingers gripping her throat: "You'd rather die than help her?"

Xia Ningxi felt the suffocating sensation on her neck, but without the slightest fear, she laughed and said, "Yes."

The hand gripping her neck tightened noticeably.

Xia Ningxi winced in pain, but remained silent.

Huo Nanxiao couldn't bring himself to do it. No matter how much he liked Xia Wanwan, he couldn't possibly strangle Xia Ningxi for her sake, especially since the woman in front of him was his wife and the mother of his children.

He asked, "What good will doing this do you?"

Xia Ningxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied, "What good would it do me to help her?"

"I can give you anything you want," Huo Nanxiao promised.

Xia Ningxi sneered, "If I wanted anything from you, I wouldn't have divorced you so easily. Xia Wanwan is your woman, and how to protect her is your problem, not what you're asking me. Her life or death is none of my business."

After a pause, Xia Ningxi continued, "I know what you're worried about. You're afraid that the doctor you found from outside will be bribed by your parents and secretly harm Xia Wanwan, but I believe you have plenty of ways to protect her, don't you?"

She knew Huo Nanxiao's abilities better than anyone else, but Xia Ningxi could tell that Huo Nanxiao had concerns in his heart, and she didn't know why Huo Nanxiao was unwilling to marry Xia Wanwan as soon as possible.

Given everything Huo Nanxiao has now, what difference would it make if he completely severed his father-son relationship with Huo Xiuyuan?

He is talented and capable, and doesn't need the Huo family's support at all.

Seeing a taxi approaching, Xia Ningxi didn't hesitate at all. After getting in, she closed the door and told the driver, "Hurry up and go."

The driver glanced at Huo Nanxiao outside the car window and asked her, "Isn't your friend coming along?"

“He will go back on his own,” Xia Ningxi replied.

The driver started the car and sped off at high speed.

After returning to her dormitory, Xia Ningxi hurried upstairs and ran into Tang En.

“You’re back. I needed to talk to you about something. Huo Nanxiao contacted me this morning, wanting me to go back and be Xia Wanwan’s attending physician again, but I refused,” Tang En said.

"You can decide for yourself." Xia Ningxi didn't intend to offer any advice.

Don asked, "What's your opinion on this?"

"Anyway, I won't care about Xia Wanwan anymore, so I have no opinion on anything related to her." Xia Ningxi distanced herself from everything.

She didn't want to make any comments, but she also didn't want to get herself into trouble.

Tang En: "I rejected him, but we performed Xia Wanwan's surgery and implanted a chip in her head, which is quite troublesome for other doctors to handle, but it's not an unsolvable problem."

Xia Wanwan's illness had already recovered to a certain extent, and she should have been fully recovered long ago. Now that she has ruined herself like this, it is no wonder that Tang En is not to blame. He has done everything he could. As for why Xia Wanwan is paralyzed again, who knows if she secretly drank some forbidden drugs to gain Huo Nanxiao's pity.

Thinking of this, Tang En was very worried: "Be careful of Xia Wanwan. She will do anything to achieve her goals. If you get entangled with her, you don't know how much trouble you will get into."

"I know, don't worry." Xia Ningxi would never allow herself to have any further connection with Xia Wanwan.

However, Tang En is right about one thing: the Xia family is capable of anything to climb the social ladder by marrying Huo Nanxiao. If they suddenly lose their minds and come up with some heinous schemes, she and her child might be in danger.

Thinking of this, Xia Ningxi felt a vague unease: "How is Lin Jiangbei doing?"

“It’s unstable. Although our surgery was successful once, the tumor has spread too quickly, and the recovery from the last brain resection surgery was not good. It’s uncertain whether it can survive until the next surgery.” Don sighed helplessly.

Xia Ningxi's expression was solemn: "It seems that it will be a long time before we can leave the Imperial City."

"You can go first, I'll stay," Don suggested.

Xia Ningxi shook her head: "In the current situation, any one of us leaving could worsen Lin Jiangbei's condition. We can only leave after his condition stabilizes."

“Okay.” Tang En agreed with Xia Ningxi’s decision. He said, “Huo Nanxiao has been giving you a lot of trouble lately. How about this, you can ride in my car to and from get off work from now on. It’ll be good for the two of you to look out for each other.”

"No need, it's more convenient for me to take a taxi." Xia Ningxi refused, she was a little tired: "I'm tired, I'll go upstairs and rest first."

She went upstairs, took a hot shower, and then soaked in the bathtub.

The three children were very well-behaved, and there was a professional nanny in the dormitory to take care of them. The three little ones were well taken care of and went to sleep obediently on time, so Xia Ningxi didn't have to worry about them at all.

She returned to her study to study Lin Jiangbei's condition, and didn't fall asleep until late at night.

The next morning, Xia Ningxi was woken up by the noisy phone call before she was fully awake. She was very annoyed and only realized that it was Chu Xinran calling when she looked at the caller ID.

"Hello." She dialed back wearily.

Chu Xinran was very excited: "Ning Xi, something terrible has happened."

"What big thing happened?" Xia Ningxi yawned and asked groggily.

Chu Xinran said, "Huo Nanxiao is taking Xia Wanwan to get their marriage certificate. The two have already arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the reporters have taken pictures."

She was very excited.

Xia Ningxi's confused eyes cleared up considerably, and her complicated emotions sank to the bottom at this moment, but in the end she chose to let go.

"Oh, you're getting your marriage certificate, that's great," she replied.

Chu Xinran: "What's so good about it? Are you in the staff dormitory? I'm already downstairs, hurry up and open the door."

Xia Ningxi: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming? Wait a minute."

She put on her coat and went downstairs, where she saw Chu Xinran angrily banging on the door. When she saw her, she waved frantically.

"How can you still be sleeping? They've all gone to get their marriage certificate, how can you still be in the mood to sleep here?" Chu Xinran was very anxious, as if she wanted to drag Xia Ningxi away immediately to stop them from getting married.

Xia Ningxi helplessly spread her hands: "What else can I do if I don't sleep? You came all this way just for this?"

"It's all for this!" Chu Xinran exclaimed excitedly.

Xia Ningxi said, "Then you've kicked a hornet's nest. I can't control their marriage, and I don't want to."

"Are you just going to stand by and watch that liar Xia Wanwan steal everything that belongs to you?" Chu Xinran was indignant; she couldn't stand it.

Xia Ningxi smiled slightly: "She can't take away what belongs to me. Huo Nanxiao has always wanted to marry Xia Wanwan. I am just a stepping stone on his life path, an insignificant hurdle. Once I get over it, it will be over. He will eventually be with the woman he loves most."
