Chapter 796 No need to look for her anymore

Huo Nanxiao had lost his patience and warned in a low voice, "I'm asking you one last time, where is she!"

"No comment." Don replied expressionlessly.

Huo Nanxiao angrily pushed him away and turned to leave.

"Don't bother looking for her. If you have any conscience at all, let her go." Tang En said, watching Huo Nanxiao's departing figure.

Huo Nanxiao sneered: "It's none of your business what happens between me and her."

"I'm not interested in Mr. Huo's affairs. I just want to remind you not to do anything pointless. Since you've already chosen Xia Wanwan, you should know that she will no longer have anything to do with you." Tang En warned her, "Don't bother her anymore!"

Huo Nanxiao curled his thin, cold lips: "By what right do you speak to me like this?"

"We're colleagues now, but who knows what will happen in the future?" Tang En laughed instead of getting angry.

Huo Nanxiao felt terribly suppressed, and his gaze towards Tang En changed from icy cold to furious.

As a man, he could see that Tang En's feelings for Xia Ningxi had long surpassed those of ordinary friends.

That's why Huo Nanxiao didn't want Xia Ningxi to return to work for Tang En.

Unable to get Tang En to talk, Huo Nanxiao had no choice but to start by investigating Tang En and all the people Tang En had recently contacted.

He knew which country Xia Ningxi had gone to, but he couldn't find out the exact location of Xia Ningxi and the child.

Furthermore, since Xia Ningxi works for a classified unit, if the person Huo Nanxiao sent to investigate her is caught, he will be detained on charges of espionage.

She was deliberately avoiding him.

Counting the days, Xia Ningxi has been gone for two days. In these two days, Huo Nanxiao has used almost all his connections, but there has been no response. He has become very irritable.

Inside the company, the senior executives were walking on thin ice, avoiding Huo Nanxiao whenever they saw him, fearing that they would be reprimanded by him.

Ye Su and Lu Qi were left to handle a lot of the work, which kept them extremely busy. On top of that, they also had to deal with Xia Wanwan, who was always looking for trouble.

With Xia Ningxi out of the way, Xia Wanwan has had a much smoother life these past few days.

Huo Nanxiao arranged for more than a dozen bodyguards to protect Xia Wanwan very well, and also arranged for Xia Wanwan to stay in Fu Xiyu's private villa.

Even if Huo Xiuyuan wanted to cause trouble for Xia Wanwan, he couldn't.

Inside Tinghai Villa, Fu Xiyu tasted a bite of the lotus seed soup that Xia Wanwan had personally made and praised it with a smile: "It tastes very good. No chef outside can make it as well as you."

"Thank you for the compliment." Xia Wanwan smiled and asked, "Would Nan Xiao like lotus seed soup?"

Fu Xiyu stiffened and replied, "He probably doesn't like it."

Xia Wanwan was very disappointed: "He hasn't come to see me for two days."

"Perhaps it's because he's too busy. There's been some trouble at Yunting Group recently, so it's normal that he hasn't had time to come back," Fu Xiyu replied.

Xia Wanwan lowered her head: "Is it just about company matters?"

"Don't overthink it," Fu Xiyu comforted her softly.

Xia Wanwan: "I want to go see him."

“Okay, I’ll take you.” Fu Xiyu readily agreed.

Xia Wanwan went to the kitchen and packed a bowl of lotus seed soup she had made to take to the company, intending to let Huo Nanxiao try it, but Ye Su stopped her outside the office.

"I'm sorry, the president is in a bad mood and will not see any guests," Ye Su said apologetically.

Xia Wanwan: "Am I not going to see them either?"

Ye Su nodded: "The president said he won't see anyone. I'm sorry, but would you two please come with me to the VIP room and wait for a moment?"

Xia Wanwan gripped the food box tightly in her hand, her eyes slightly red. She tried to appear indifferent, but she was still heartbroken.

She remembered that Xia Ningxi always swaggered into Yunting Group whenever she came. She could walk into Huo Nanxiao's office whenever she wanted, while Xia Wanwan could only be arranged to stay in the VIP room.

Fu Xiyu was very dissatisfied with this: "Do you know who she is?"

Ye Su nodded: "The president's new wife."

"Then how dare you stop me?" Fu Xiyu scolded.

Ye Su: "I am the president's secretary, and I do everything according to the president's instructions. I wonder what Mr. Fu's opinion is on this?"

"Ha, if you won't let her in, I'll take her in myself." Fu Xiyu ignored Ye Su's objections and forcefully pushed open the door to the president's office.

At that moment, Huo Nanxiao was on the phone with Helian Jue. When he saw Fu Xiyu walk in, he said in a low voice, "That's fine. Let me know as soon as you have any news."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Nanxiao asked Fu Xiyu, "Is something wrong?"

“Your secretary is blocking us from coming in,” Fu Xiyu replied.

Ye Su stood to the side with her head down, not saying a word.

Huo Nanxiao withdrew his gaze from her and said, "I gave the order; you have important business with me."

"Can't I see you unless it's something important?" Fu Xiyu retorted.

Huo Nanxiao: "I'm very busy."

Fu Xiyu glanced at the disconnected phone and, recalling what Huo Nanxiao had just said, began to suspect that he was looking for Xia Ningxi.

However, it's not appropriate to bring these things up in front of Xia Wanwan.

Xia Wanwan had no interest in finding out what Huo Nanxiao had been busy with lately. She placed the food box on the table and said gently, "Nanxiao, I made lotus seed soup today and brought it over for you to try."

"You're still sick, so try to avoid doing these things in the future," Huo Nanxiao advised.

Xia Wanwan: "It's okay, it's nothing."

She served Huo Nanxiao a bowl of lotus seed soup, which he accepted but did not drink. He placed it on the table and continued working, his fair fingers tapping on the keyboard.

Xia Wanwan felt a little embarrassed, but pretended to be calm: "Have you been very busy lately?"

"Hmm." Huo Nanxiao responded coldly. Seeing that Xia Wanwan's face was very pale, he added, "There are a lot of things to do at the company. You should stay home and rest during this time. It's not too late to come out when you're better."

"Okay, I understand." Xia Wanwan lowered her head, looking at the lotus seed soup left to cool aside, hesitant to speak.

Huo Nanxiao: "I don't like sweet drinks, you drink it."

"What do you like to drink? I'll make it next time," Xia Wanwan asked.

Huo Nanxiao refused: "No need. You should focus on recovering. If you're really free, read a book. Don't always go into the kitchen; these aren't things you should be doing."

Every word he uttered revealed his concern for Xia Wanwan, but for some reason, Xia Wanwan only felt Huo Nanxiao's indifference.

It seemed that he was just following a set routine in everything he did, and every word he said was just to appease her.

But Huo Nanxiao in front of me is a living, breathing person, so why are all his words so cold? Does Xia Ningxi's departure mean she can't return to his side?

Xia Wanwan wanted to ask him, but in the end she swallowed the words back.

She waited on the side until Huo Nanxiao finished all his work.

But Huo Nanxiao seemed to have forgotten her existence. After finishing his emails, he got up and went to a meeting, which lasted for three hours.

Xia Wanwan just sat there foolishly in his office, waiting from day to night.
