Chapter 797 Going Abroad to Find Her

Xia Wanwan waited all day, but Huo Nanxiao did not return.

Almost everyone in the company had left, and it was time for Ye Su to get off work. As she packed her things to leave, she noticed that the light in the president's office was still on, and then she remembered that Xia Wanwan hadn't left yet.

"Miss Xia, aren't you leaving yet?" Ye Su asked curiously.

Xia Wanwan raised her head and asked softly, "I'm waiting for Nan Xiao, hasn't he finished his meeting yet?"

Ye Sucai remembered this and replied, "The meeting ended a long time ago, and the president has already left."

"Huh? When did he leave?" Xia Wanwan was very surprised.

Ye Su: "It was an hour ago, but the president went to inspect the construction site with a business partner. That kind of place isn't safe, so he didn't take you with him. I suppose he won't be going back to the company tonight. Shall I take you home?"

Xia Wanwan bit her lip and did not answer.

Ye Su: "There's no use waiting here any longer. The president has been very busy lately, and he hasn't even had time to eat. It's normal that he would forget to pick you up. You're not feeling well, so please come to the company less often in the future and take good care of yourself at home. I'll take you home now, so don't overthink it."

She gently comforted Xia Wanwan, seemingly trying to prevent her from overthinking, but she had been left out of the company by Huo Nanxiao all day. No matter how busy Huo Nanxiao was, he couldn't possibly forget about her, could he?

Xia Wanwan was in a bad mood on the way back. She had been holding it in for a long time. Looking at the line of cars blocking the road outside, she couldn't help but ask, "Has he ever treated Xia Ningxi like this before?"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Su replied, "Dr. Xia usually walks by herself."

"So, am I a burden to him?" Xia Wanwan looked down at her legs, her eyes moist.

Ye Su saw all of this, and she really didn't understand what Xia Wanwan had to be sad about. She had taken away Huo Nanxiao and the position that belonged to Xia Ningxi, and now she could be considered a winner in life. Wasn't that enough?

“Miss Xia, now that the president has married you, he certainly won’t abandon you. However, he’s been really busy lately, and it’s already difficult for him to handle his work. If you keep coming to the hospital every few days, he’ll get annoyed.” Ye Su kindly reminded him.

Xia Wanwan looked out the window and smiled wryly: "It's not that I'm busy with work..."

Ye Su remained silent, yet she understood everything.

Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan got married and registered their marriage, but he never lived with Xia Wanwan. Even when he took Xia Wanwan to Lingcheng to find a doctor, they booked two rooms in a hotel.

After returning to the capital, Huo Nanxiao would visit Xia Wanwan at the manor, but he would only glance at her before leaving. He devoted almost all his time to work and searching for Xia Ningxi and their child.

Of course, Ye Su could not tell Xia Wanwan these things, and what Xia Wanwan thought was none of Ye Su's business.

After escorting Xia Wanwan back to Tinghai Villa, the sight of the enormous villa and the heavily guarded personnel was enough to demonstrate Huo Nanxiao's protectiveness towards Xia Wanwan.

Ye Su sighed, "The president is still very good to you."

"Really?" Xia Wanwan's voice was very low. "But I feel like he doesn't want to see me."

Ye Su: "I don't understand other things, but at least I know that Xia Ningxi and the president have been married for so many years, and she has never owned such a huge manor on her own like you."

Xia Wanwan felt depressed. She didn't know if Ye Su was deliberately bringing up Xia Ningxi in front of her. She felt that these words were strange and she didn't want to answer Ye Su's question.

After entering the house, he said to Ye Su, "Thank you for bringing me back. It's getting late, you should go home early too."

"Okay." Ye Su nodded with a smile and turned to leave.

Not long after the car left Tinghai Villa, Huo Nanxiao called.

"President."

Huo Nanxiao: "Where?"

Ye Su: "I just came from Tinghai Villa."

"Book me the earliest flight; I need to go abroad," Huo Nanxiao instructed.

Ye Su immediately pulled over and asked, "Are you going to inspect Xianghe Group?"

“To Texas,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Ye Su immediately understood, checked the nearest flight, and said, "The nearest flight is in three days."

Huo Nanxiao frowned: "Arrange a private jet."

Ye Su asked in confusion, "Is the president going to see the young mistress?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask," Huo Nanxiao said impatiently.

Ye Su: "Miss Wanwan might be waiting for the president to come home."

The response was a long silence. By the time she realized what was happening, the call had been disconnected. She had no choice but to contact the airline to arrange the next available flight.

Huo Nanxiao left the country overnight.

When we arrived in Desla, it was 2 p.m.

The address Helian Jue gave was a royal laboratory on the outskirts of the city. When Huo Nanxiao drove to the vicinity of the laboratory, he was stopped by patrol personnel.

This area is a restricted zone; only high-ranking officials with passes are allowed to enter.

It is currently in the research and development stage, and no unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach.

Of course, it would be impossible for Huo Nanxiao to inquire about Xia Ningxi here; the other party would simply treat him as a spy sent by an enemy country.

So Huo Nanxiao didn't ask anything, but waited nearby.

He sat in the car with the window down, his gaze fixed on the laboratory entrance.

If Xia Ningxi works here, she will pass by every day. She can't live in the laboratory forever because she has a child to take care of.

However, after waiting for a long time, no one came out of the laboratory.

Ye Su was extremely sleepy, but she could only pretend to be awake and asked, "President, are you sure the young mistress works here? We've been waiting outside all day and haven't seen a soul."

Huo Nanxiao: "This is the most advanced laboratory in Desla. Tang En used to work here. Xia Ningxi should be returning to work on Tang En's territory."

“But this place is completely closed off. If the young mistress doesn’t come out, we might not be able to see her even if we wait until tomorrow.” Ye Su paused, then added, “Besides, the young mistress has custody of the children. President, you’ve already given up on the three children. Isn’t it a bit presumptuous of you to come looking for her now?”

Huo Nanxiao asked, displeased, "What do you mean?"

Ye Su felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze, and cold sweat poured down her back. She pretended to be calm and said, "I just wanted to remind the president that the young mistress might not want to see you."

"Shut up," Huo Nanxiao said impatiently.

Ye Su obediently shut her mouth and dared not utter a sound.

She stayed with Huo Nanxiao in the car and waited.

During this period, Huo Nanxiao received messages and phone calls from time to time, but he ignored them all.

At first, Ye Su thought it was some of the company's clients or Huo Nanxiao's family looking for him. When the next call came in, she secretly glanced at Huo Nanxiao's phone screen and saw the name Xia Wanwan. Ye Su instantly understood.

No wonder the president didn't answer Xia Wanwan's calls. If Xia Wanwan knew the purpose of Huo Nanxiao's trip abroad, I wonder what she would think.
