Xia Ningxi lay in a pool of blood after a difficult labor from her two-year marriage, completely forgetting that it was the day of his wedding to someone else.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Leave th...
Chapter 851 How Did You End Up in My Bed?
Of the three children, Xingxing and Chuchu are both very smart and lively, but Huo Yuan is timid and hesitant. Many people think that Huo Yuan is stupid and easy to deceive, so whenever they want to manipulate Xia Ningxi, they start with Huo Yuan.
But is Huo Yuan really stupid?
He's just not loved.
In Huo Yuan's heart, no matter how late it was, his mother would always try her best to come home and be with him, but his father was different.
When he lived in the Xia family's house, he could only hide under the covers and cry every day. He even dreamed that Huo Nanxiao would come to see him, but he never did.
They clearly live in the same city, and Huo Nanxiao is very close to the Xia family, yet he rarely visits Huo Yuan.
So what's so good about the imperial city?
Huo Yuan was firm in his decision: "I only want Mommy. I will go wherever Mommy is. I only like being with Mommy. Daddy doesn't need to persuade me. I know in my heart who is good to me."
"Although Daddy often buys us gifts and treats, these are far less than Mommy's love for us. As long as I can be with Mommy, I would be happy even if I had to sleep on the street."
Every word spoken by the little child was incredibly firm.
Huo Nanxiao's eyes were full of surprise. He hadn't expected that Huo Yuan, at such a young age, would be able to say such things.
He felt an indescribable sense of oppression. Recalling his past neglect of Huo Yuan, he realized that he was indeed no match for Xia Ningxi.
It's understandable that the child prefers Xia Ningxi.
"Okay, then you can stay with your mommy. I won't force you." Huo Nanxiao rubbed Huo Yuan's little head, his voice deep and resonant.
He didn't know how to explain to Huo Yuan the neglect he had shown him in the past, nor did he know how to heal the wounds in Huo Yuan's heart. He could only comfort him and try not to make him too sad.
Xingxing and Chuchu are both very opinionated and will not change their opinion of Xia Ningxi because of Huo Nanxiao's few words. No matter what Huo Nanxiao says or does, they firmly choose Xia Ningxi.
That night, Huo Nanxiao's feelings were particularly complicated.
He left the room after putting the three children to sleep.
Xia Ningxi is still working overtime, and it's unclear what she's busy with.
Huo Nanxiao sat in the living room rubbing his temples, looking extremely tired.
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Xia Ningxi poured herself a cup of hot water after coming out of the study, raising her beautiful eyebrows as she looked at the exhausted Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao looked up at her: "Are you done with your work?"
"Not yet," Xia Ningxi replied.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Go to sleep early."
"It's almost time, you should go back now. I can't sleep because you've been staying here all this time," Xia Ningxi reminded her.
Huo Nanxiao's dark eyes darkened, and he suddenly stood up and walked towards Xia Ningxi.
"Did I say something wrong?" Xia Ningxi asked back.
Huo Nanxiao: "May I stay the night?"
"No." Xia Ningxi refused decisively without even thinking.
Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes, gazing at her beautiful face: "What if I insist on staying overnight?"
"Heh, so you're trying to stay here? You have plenty of places to stay, why are you staying here with me?" Xia Ningxi got angry, but she didn't want to indulge Huo Nanxiao at all.
Unexpectedly, Huo Nanxiao suddenly grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. Xia Ningxi almost dropped the water glass in her hand. She quickly grabbed the glass, but all the water in the glass spilled into her arms.
My clothes and pants were soaked.
The thin shirt she was wearing revealed large expanses of her fair skin, making her look incredibly sexy in the dim light.
Huo Nanxiao's gaze towards her intensified, his breath carrying a hint of ambiguity.
Xia Ningxi's ears turned red, and her heart pounded uncontrollably.
Bang bang bang—
My heart felt like it was about to burst out of my chest.
Xia Ningxi subconsciously stepped back, almost pressing herself against the wall, but Huo Nanxiao showed no intention of letting go.
"You...you seem to have some heart problem," she whispered.
Huo Nanxiao raised an eyebrow: "What's the problem?"
"It jumps very fast." Xia Ningxi took a deep breath.
Huo Nanxiao pinched her face with one hand: "It's your heartbeat."
"Huh?" Xia Ningxi was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly put her hand on Huo Nanxiao's chest: "You're too close to me."
Huo Nanxiao's large hand was wrapped around Xia Ningxi's waist, showing no intention of letting go, and he asked, word by word, "I'm staying here tonight, is that alright?"
"It's inconvenient." Xia Ningxi refused very decisively.
Huo Nanxiao tightened his grip on her: "Is it convenient?"
"It's not impossible, you can stay in the guest room," Xia Ningxi said, forcing herself to speak.
Huo Nanxiao smiled with satisfaction and released his hand. "I'm going to take a shower. Do you have any new towels and toiletries?"
“No.” Xia Ningxi shook her head. “I think you can go back to the hotel.”
Huo Nanxiao: "I'll use yours."
"Are you alright? I don't usually share toiletries with others," Xia Ningxi immediately refused.
Huo Nanxiao ignored him and went straight into the bathroom.
Xia Ningxi was furious and didn't want to see Huo Nanxiao use her things, so she went to the storage room to get a new bathrobe for Huo Nanxiao to use.
The house Ling Xiao arranged for her wasn't very big, but it was fully equipped with everything she needed, which benefited Huo Nanxiao.
Xia Ningxi didn't know why Huo Nanxiao insisted on staying. Was he not comfortable enough staying at the hotel?
But this shouldn't be happening.
Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan live next door, so he can have some intimate time with Xia Wanwan when he gets back.
The more she thought about it, the more depressed and irritable she became. So she simply stopped thinking about it, went back to her room, changed into a new set of pajamas, and then went to bed, hugging her big pillow and falling asleep.
Xia Ningxi didn't have the habit of locking the door when she lived with her child. She was afraid that if she locked the door, her child wouldn't be able to find her, so she would just leave the door slightly ajar.
While she was half asleep, she felt someone hug her from behind. She thought it was some little one who had come to sleep in her bed, so she turned over and hugged the person behind her.
Why is it a bit big?
When did these little guys grow up to be this big?
Xia Ningxi almost couldn't hug him, and touched him in confusion.
Her little hands groped around haphazardly, but stopped when she touched something solid. It looked familiar, like she'd seen it somewhere before...
Xia Ningxi was suddenly awakened. In the darkness, a pair of lurking, sinister eyes stared intently at her. In that instant, she felt like prey being toyed with by a ferocious beast.
"You... how did you get into my bed!" Xia Ningxi's breath hitched; she was very anxious.
Huo Nanxiao said, "The blankets in the guest room weren't washed and smelled bad. Your blankets smell very nice, and the bed is very soft. I prefer sleeping here."
Xia Ningxi's lips twitched. She said angrily, "You can't go back to the hotel because you think the guest room smells bad?"
"No." Huo Nanxiao closed his eyes and went to sleep!
