Chapter 832 Are you looking for her?

Huo Nanxiao asked Ye Su to investigate the whereabouts of the three children, but Ye Su didn't investigate any of them.

As an observer, she was well aware of Huo Nanxiao's current relationship with Xia Wanwan, and she also knew that Xia Ningxi could never return to Huo Nanxiao's side. As for the three children, it was fine for them to stay with Xia Ningxi. Why did she have to find her?

Ye Su didn't understand Huo Nanxiao's true thoughts, but upon closer reflection, she realized it was probably his possessiveness at play.

Besides, Ye Su didn't understand why Huo Nanxiao wanted to go find Xia Ningxi.

For Xia Ningxi's sake, and also to give Xia Wanwan something to do, Ye Su decided to tell Xia Wanwan about Huo Nanxiao's search for Xia Ningxi.

“Miss Wanwan, there are also excellent doctors in the capital city. Your health can be cured there as well. Staying in Lingcheng might lead to unforeseen complications.” Ye Su spoke meaningfully, without explaining the situation.

However, the clever Xia Wanwan sensed the hidden meaning in her words and asked, "Has Nan Xiao recently asked you to investigate Xia Ningxi?"

Ye Su remained silent and did not answer.

Xia Wanwan smiled wryly: "It seems my guesses were right."

Xia Luoluo, who was standing nearby, was surprised: "Isn't Xia Ningxi abroad? Could it be that she's really back?"

"I don't know, I'm afraid only Nan Xiao knows the answer," Xia Wanwan replied.

Xia Luoluo: "Secretary Ye, you know Xia Ningxi best. Is she in Lingcheng?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know." Ye Su did not give a direct answer.

Xia Luoluo: "Don't try that on me anymore. I know your identity very well. You must be the first to know anything about Xia Ningxi. She's in Lingcheng, isn't she?"

Ye Su remained silent, letting the two sisters guess for themselves.

This really worried the two sisters a lot.

Xia Wanwan: "We can't stay in Lingcheng any longer, let's go back today?"

“Go back? What are you afraid of? If Xia Ningxi is really here, we can ask her for clarification. She promised us she wouldn’t go back to the country, but only two months have passed and she’s back again! Isn’t she just making a fool of us?” Xia Luoluo said indignantly.

She had a strong opinion about Xia Ningxi returning to China. Even if Ye Su didn't admit it, Xia Luoluo was certain that Xia Ningxi was in China.

After Ye Su left, Xia Wanwan immediately packed her things.

She didn't want to stay in Lingcheng any longer. If Huo Nanxiao met Xia Ningxi and their old feelings rekindled, it would be troublesome.

"Sister, what are you doing?" Xia Luoluo asked, confused.

Xia Wanwan: "Go back."

"Why go back? If Xia Ningxi is really in Lingcheng, we can find her." Xia Luoluo was unwilling to give up.

Xia Wanwan: "Find them out? Leaving now is the wisest thing to do."

"Do you intend to hide from her for the rest of your life?" Xia Luoluo asked.

Xia Wanwan: "This is better for everyone. You know better than anyone that Nan Xiao still has feelings for Xia Ningxi. Leaving now is the best solution."

"You're wrong. The best outcome is for Xia Ningxi to disappear completely." Xia Luoluo gripped Xia Wanwan's hand, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Xia Wanwan smiled wryly: "What are you thinking? Let's go back. I'll go find Nan Xiao to buy plane tickets in a bit."

Her mind was made up. She couldn't contact Xia Ningxi even after a sleepless night, and instead, she was being led by the nose by Xia Ningxi. This feeling was very agonizing for Xia Wanwan. She would rather go back to the capital and be Huo Nanxiao's wife.

As long as Huo Nanxiao also leaves Lingcheng, they will have no chance to meet. Isn't that a form of protection for Xia Wanwan?

When Xia Luoluo learned of her intentions, she was so angry that she cursed.

She hated Xia Wanwan for being a useless piece of trash who backed down at the first sign of trouble. If it were her, she would have eliminated Xia Ningxi immediately and made her disappear completely...

Huo Nanxiao also didn't sleep all night.

He waited all night, but Xia Ningxi ignored him and didn't answer a single phone call.

Ye Su searched all night but couldn't find any information related to Xia Ningxi, which made Huo Nanxiao even more frustrated.

Hearing the doorbell ring, Huo Nanxiao went to open the door, expecting Ye Su to return with the investigation results, but he was somewhat surprised to see Xia Wanwan.

"Are you waiting for someone?" Xia Wanwan glanced behind her, her intuition telling her that Huo Nanxiao was waiting for someone.

Huo Nanxiao concealed the complex emotions in his eyes. "No."

Xia Wanwan entered Huo Nanxiao's presidential suite, glanced around, and saw that it was empty with nothing in it. The computer was always on, so she assumed that Huo Nanxiao was working.

"We've been in Lingcheng for quite a few days now, when are we going back?" Xia Wanwan asked cautiously.

Huo Nanxiao: "No rush, there are still many things to deal with."

"Can't the Lingcheng project be handled by the company's vice president?" Xia Wanwan asked, puzzled.

Huo Nanxiao: "There are still some important matters that haven't been settled. I'll stay here a little longer. If you want to go back, I'll have Ye Su take you."

"I want to go back with you," Xia Wanwan said, expressing her thoughts.

For her, it doesn't matter where she lives.

At other times, Xia Wanwan would definitely be very obedient and wouldn't care who Huo Nanxiao was with or who he was discussing cooperation with.

But things are different now. Xia Ningxi is very likely in Lingcheng. Now that she's gone, wouldn't Huo Nanxiao be able to openly search for Xia Ningxi's whereabouts?

Xia Wanwan just wanted Huo Nanxiao to leave with her as soon as possible.

"I don't plan to return to the capital for the time being," Huo Nanxiao refused Xia Wanwan's request.

Xia Wanwan was very disappointed: "Why?"

“I have already explained it,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Wanwan clenched her teeth, her eyes slightly reddening: "You don't want to go back to the capital because of work or because of certain people?"

"Why do you ask that?" Huo Nanxiao frowned.

Xia Wanwan: "You heard that Xia Ningxi is also in Lingcheng, right?"

"How did you know about this?" Huo Nanxiao stared at Xia Wanwan with a serious expression.

Xia Wanwan smiled wryly: "I knew it was surprising? When Lin Jiangbei returns to China, there will definitely be doctors coming back with him. If Xia Ningxi wants to gain a foothold in Tang En's team, she will definitely have to perform well. Perhaps she will volunteer to return to China with Lin Jiangbei."

"Are you staying here for work, or do you want to see Xia Ningxi?"

She met the man's eyes, as if trying to see what she wanted in Huo Nanxiao's eyes.

She wondered if Huo Nanxiao had stayed only for work and nothing else, but Xia Wanwan realized that she couldn't understand him at all.

Even though Huo Nanxiao was standing right in front of her, she couldn't see through his inner thoughts.

She was very disappointed.

Huo Nanxiao offered no explanation.

He doesn't need to explain.

Huo Nanxiao dialed Lu Qi's number, "Go buy two plane tickets to the capital city tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, he said to Xia Wanwan, "Go back first tomorrow."

"And what about you?" Xia Wanwan asked.

Huo Nanxiao looked at her seriously: "I have something to take care of while I stay."

"I hope you will come with me," Xia Wanwan said, expressing her wish.

Huo Nanxiao's expression was complicated: "Wanwan, now is not the time to be silly. I can't go with you."

"Why? Did you stay here to see Xia Ningxi?" Xia Wanwan finally couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering her.

Huo Nanxiao asked, displeased, "Why bring her up?"

"Am I right?" Xia Wanwan scoffed. "It seems it really is because of Xia Ningxi."

“I sensed something was off when you brought me to Lingcheng. I always thought you came to Lingcheng because of your cooperation with the Ling family, but I never expected you were actually looking for Xia Ningxi!”

Her eyes were red, and she looked at Huo Nanxiao with resentment.

However, Huo Nanxiao neither admitted nor denied it.

“You’re tired, you should go back and rest.” He decisively distanced himself from the situation.

Xia Wanwan lost control of her emotions: "I'm fine. My mind is perfectly clear right now. I just want to know one answer. I want to know what you're hiding in your heart. Why won't you tell me? If you like Xia Ningxi, you can go find her. You don't need to care about my life or death."

Huo Nanxiao's gaze grew colder and colder. "You came to me just to say this?"

"Don't these things matter to Mr. Huo at all?" Xia Wanwan's voice trembled slightly. "We're already married. To me, what you do and who you meet are of paramount importance. Why didn't you tell me you couldn't let her go?"

"Now everyone knows we're married, and I'm your wife. Even if you married me for my reputation, in other people's eyes we're already bound together. I'm your wife too. How can I live if others know that your purpose in coming to Lingcheng is to find Xia Ningxi?"

She became more and more agitated as she spoke, tears welling up in her eyes, and her frail body trembled uncontrollably.

For Huo Nanxiao, marrying her was just like raising another caged bird, but for Xia Wanwan, it was not.

Huo Nanxiao was the only person she could rely on; the entire Xia family depended on Huo Nanxiao's whims to get by.

The merchants in the capital city are all used to bullying others and have their heads in the air. If they find out about this, how will Xia Wanwan live her life?

She didn't even dare to think about it.

Even more unbelievable was that Huo Nanxiao still couldn't let go of Xia Ningxi, who had been away from the capital for so long.

Is Xia Ningxi really that important to Huo Nanxiao?

She lost control and overturned everything on the table, knocking over Huo Nanxiao's office documents and computer as well.

The house was in a mess, attracting the attention of passersby outside.

Xia Luoluo arrived immediately after hearing the news and was surprised to see the scene before her. She hurriedly helped the swaying Xia Wanwan up.

"Sister, what's wrong?" Xia Luoluo asked tentatively in a low voice.

Xia Wanwan: "I'm fine. You can go out and close the door."

"This...isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Xia Luoluo guessed that the two had quarreled and said to Huo Nanxiao, "Brother-in-law, my sister is not in good health. The doctor said she needs to rest. You must not upset her. What if she can't take it and faints again?"

Huo Nanxiao: "Take her out."

"I'm not leaving. I just want an answer." Xia Wanwan's voice trembled, her bloodshot eyes fixed on Huo Nanxiao, each word spoken with despair.

"Brother-in-law, what have you done? My sister is such a good person, how could she be so upset?" Xia Luoluo scolded.

Huo Nanxiao offered no explanation, his gaze falling on Ye Su outside the door. He said, "Arrange a private jet to send them back today."

"Okay." Ye Su nodded and turned to leave.

Xia Wanwan stubbornly said, "I'm not leaving."

"The doctors in the capital can also treat you. You shouldn't stay here." Huo Nanxiao issued his final ultimatum, not wanting Xia Wanwan to continue entangled in this matter.

Xia Wanwan also knew that Huo Nanxiao would not give her an answer.

She began to reflect on her actions, realizing that everything she had done that day had been too impulsive. Confronting Huo Nanxiao would only make him more resentful, and his attitude towards her would become increasingly hostile.

Xia Wanwan took a deep breath and said with utmost seriousness, "I want to stay. Since Ning Xi is in Lingcheng, I want to see her too!"
