Chapter 821 Come Back to Lingcheng with Us

She successfully obtained citizenship for Xingxing and Chuchu thanks to her relationship with Ling Xiao, and now that Huo Yuan wants to study abroad smoothly, he naturally needs to change his citizenship as well.

Xia Ningxi could only register Huo Yuan under Ling Xiao's name.

Only through divorce and separation of household registration can the three children be completely registered under Xia Ningxi's name. If Ling Xiao does not cooperate, Xia Ningxi has no other recourse.

The local immigration system in Desla is very complicated, and many things are difficult to handle.

Although Xia Ningxi had accidentally saved Ling Xiao once, Ling Xiao had also helped her a lot, so they were even.

Shouldn't a normal person get a divorce immediately in this situation?

Xia Ningxi couldn't understand him and couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her: "I don't understand, why did you deliberately get yourself into this trouble?"

“It’s not too much trouble,” Ling Xiao replied.

Xia Ningxi said seriously, "You know, none of the three children are yours. The most important thing we should do now is to dissolve the marriage. This is the best thing for you. If the Ling family finds out that you got married abroad in a muddle and that the other person was me, it will have a big impact on you."

"The person in charge said that if we sever ties now and pretend we don't know each other, no one will know about this. Why are you unwilling to make such a decision?"

Ling Xiao looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips: "I have my reasons for keeping you around. The eldest branch of the Ling family controls the inheritance, and most of their marriages are business alliances. If I divorce you now, wouldn't I have to marry another woman?"

"Compared to other women, you pose no threat whatsoever. Keeping you is a better choice than choosing someone else."

Xia Ningxi realized that this guy was implying that she was incompetent.

She said with a dark expression, "Thank you!"

"No need to thank me. Now that we've reached an agreement, when will you take me to see your three children?" Ling Xiao asked.

Xia Ningxi refused: "They are still young and it is not appropriate for them to meet any outsiders. Besides, they don't know you, and I don't intend for you to have any involvement with them."

“I don’t think it’s appropriate. Since they’re my children, why shouldn’t I see them? I also want to see what the children you had outside look like.” Ling Xiao’s voice sounded strangely androgynous.

Xia Ningxi: "I feel like you're about to swear."

“If you don’t want us to meet now, then let’s do it another time,” Ling Xiao said.

Xia Ningxi thought for a moment and then agreed.

They have no business dealings and are not enemies. It is a fact that Ling Xiao helped Xia Ningxi. He is unwilling to divorce, so let's wait until he is willing to.

Anyway, it's not Xia Ningxi who's in a hurry. She has no plans to remarry and have children, so it won't affect her second or third marriage. On the contrary, it's Ling Xiao. He's not that old. He'll definitely meet someone he likes in the future. One day, Ling Xiao will probably think about getting a divorce, right?

Xia Ningxi suppressed her frustration and left the coffee shop.

After the frank conversation, Xia Ningxi no longer needed to hide and returned to the lab to continue working.

Ling Shuang was surprised to see her: "Dr. Xia, it's been a long time. I heard you were transferred to a branch office recently. I wanted to visit you several times, but Tang En stopped me. I didn't expect it to be so difficult to see you abroad."

"Sorry, I've been quite busy lately," Xia Ningxi said with a smile.

Ling Shuang said, "My elder brother has been wanting to meet you. I wonder if you have time?"

“I just saw him,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Ling Shuang was surprised: "You've already met?"

"Mm." Xia Ningxi nodded.

Ling Shuang: "We mainly came to you to learn about the cooperation. Actually, we don't know much about Tang En's studio. We only know that he owns a company with the authority to produce special drugs. I want to know if there is any possibility of making a profit?"

"It's alright. There aren't many effective drugs on the market right now. If we could mass-produce them, we could definitely make money. But you should also know that if we produce too much of this, the price will naturally drop. Once the price drops, you won't make much money," Xia Ningxi reminded her.

For Don, the money he earns is enough to cover the subsequent research and development costs. He is happy to sell the remaining drugs to patients at a low price.

The Ling family are businessmen, and many businessmen like to drive up the price of rare and effective medicines to exorbitant levels. The two sides have different philosophies, so even if they cooperate, they might break up one day.

Ling Shuang was a smart person and immediately understood what Xia Ningxi meant.

She said, "Our desire to cooperate with Tang En is not entirely for money. After the Jiangbei incident, we realized that no amount of money is as important as good health. So we are willing to invest in your laboratory and hope that you can achieve results."

"We will try our best." Xia Ningxi smiled slightly.

For people like them, being able to focus on research is a rare privilege.

On the surface, Don seems very successful, but in reality, he has too many things to deal with. Sometimes, it is absolutely impossible for him to calm down and go into seclusion to conduct research for a year or two.

He has to go out and find jobs, run business, and earn research funding; just thinking about it makes me feel exhausted.

Since the Ling family is willing to sponsor them, it's a good thing.

Xia Ningxi and Ling Shuang talked a lot about work, and the two sides got along very well.

Ling Shuang suddenly asked, "Are you planning to return to China to develop your careers? Actually, China needs talents like you more."

“Lingcheng is also developing rapidly this year and has even built a top-notch laboratory that is just as good as yours. Perhaps developing in China would be more suitable for you. Would you like to consider it?” Ling Shuang asked.

Xia Ningxi shook her head: "No, I have too much to do."

“We won’t let those people in the Imperial City affect you,” Ling Shuang replied.

Seeing that Xia Ningxi remained silent, Ling Shuang added, "Actually, this is my older brother's idea. Although the surgery in Jiangbei was successful, it will take a long time for him to fully recover. He can't stay abroad forever. If he can stay in Lingcheng and receive treatment there, it will be better for our whole family."

"Don't worry about the money. The Ling family has plenty of money. Since we're willing to spend money to build you a laboratory exactly like this one, we certainly won't treat you unfairly. Also, if your team is willing to return to China, all the subsequent research and development funding will be covered by the Ling family."

Their attitude was very clear: Xia Ningxi should return to China.

Let Xia Ningxi return to Lingcheng.

However, this conflicted with Xia Ningxi's development plan.

She has decided to stay in Desla with her child and has no plans to go back.

Xia Ningxi remained silent for a long time without uttering a word.

Ling Shuang saw through it and sighed, "Xia Ningxi, actually, the country needs talents like you more. My brother is just lucky, but there are many people who are not as fortunate as him. If you can return to the country, you can save many more people."

"I know." Xia Ningxi understood, but she had concerns.

Ling Shuang: "If you're worried that Huo Nanxiao will find out, then we can promise you that we'll keep your return to the country a secret. You can live a carefree life in Lingcheng just like you live here."

“This place is very nice, but its development prospects are far inferior to those in China. I hope you can grant our request and come back to Lingcheng with us.”
