Chapter 874 You Will Always Be the Mistress

Everyone seemed terrified, as if a demon was standing before them.

Xia Ningxi was puzzled when she looked up and saw Huo Nanxiao standing motionless in front of her. Her mind went blank for a moment.

"What are you standing there for?" Huo Nanxiao said unhappily, "Come here now."

After recovering from her shock, Xia Ningxi quickly walked towards Huo Nanxiao.

Han Musen, who was also injured at almost the same time, arrived. He thought he would see his men dragging Xia Ningxi away in a disheveled state, but instead he saw Huo Nanxiao instead. He was completely taken aback.

"What are you doing here?" Han Musen was very surprised, and without a doubt, he was very unhappy.

Meeting Huo Nanxiao in a place like this is very unlucky.

Huo Nanxiao asked, "Is that not allowed?"

"Heh, forget it. Why you're here is none of my business. Get out of my way. I have some issues with Xia Ningxi, so you'd better not meddle." Han Musen was too lazy to pay attention to Huo Nanxiao.

Anyway, the two are already divorced, and Huo Nanxiao has a new wife. He has no feelings for Xia Ningxi after being out of contact for so long. If he wants to take action against Xia Ningxi, Huo Nanxiao has no right to stop him.

However, he stood beside Xia Ningxi and did not leave.

Han Musen said, "You're already divorced, so don't tell me you're meddling in other people's business."

Huo Nanxiao did not answer, but instead forcefully pulled Xia Ningxi into his arms.

Han Musen's expression changed.

"What's the grudge between you and him?" Huo Nanxiao asked Xia Ningxi, his dark eyes deep and beautiful.

Xia Ningxi revealed a row of snow-white teeth, "Young Master Han's hand was injured, and I set his bones, but he doesn't seem to appreciate it."

Han Musen's eyes widened.

Huo Nanxiao: "Ungrateful."

Han Musen's voice trembled with anger: "You believe what she said?"

"If I don't trust her, why would I trust you?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.

Han Musen was furious: "She injured my hand today, and you couldn't protect her!"

"You can let your men try." Huo Nanxiao sneered, speaking the most ruthless words in the most lazy tone: "Today, if anyone dares to touch a hair on Xia Ningxi's head, I will chop off their hand."

The merciless voice echoed all around.

Countless eyes were focused on Xia Ningxi. Even though they were very close to her and could catch her with just a few steps, everyone was as if under a spell and dared not move.

There were many bodyguards present, but none of them dared to lay a hand on Xia Ningxi.

Han Musen angrily rebuked, "Are you all idiots? What are you standing there for?"

The bodyguard who had been reprimanded glanced at Xia Ningxi, then at the crowd of onlookers around him, and dared not move. He could only lower his voice and speak to Han Musen.

“Young Master Han, so many people are watching. If we fight in public, it will affect the Han family’s business. If word gets out, the company will suffer a huge blow.” One of his confidants whispered.

Han Musen's face grew increasingly dark.

Huo Jinchuan stepped forward at this moment and added, "Young Master Han, let it go. There's no need to get angry with a woman."

Han Musen glared at him fiercely: "Whose side are you on?"

"Xia Ningxi is my former sister-in-law after all, let's just let this go." Huo Jinchuan lowered his voice: "There's no chance of winning if we fight Huo Nanxiao at a time like this."

Han Musen was angry, but he also recognized the facts.

If it were just Xia Ningxi, he could mold her however he wanted, but it's different when Huo Nanxiao is around.

"You just wait!" Han Musen stormed off.

Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief.

"You've got some nerve, daring to provoke a whole group of them all by yourself." Huo Nanxiao said, his face showing displeasure.

Xia Ningxi muttered to herself, "It's not like I started this trouble."

"Why would he cause you trouble?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi: "I don't know, it might be related to you."

"With me?" Huo Nanxiao raised an eyebrow.

Xia Ningxi offered no explanation.

Having made up his mind, Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice, "I'll take you home."

"No need, I've already driven," Xia Ningxi refused.

Huo Nanxiao: "Reeking of alcohol."

"I'll call a designated driver." Xia Ningxi waved the car keys in her hand.

Huo Nanxiao immediately recognized it as a limited edition car, probably Ling Xiao's. He said nothing, snatched the keys from Xia Ningxi's hand, and tossed them to Huo Jinchuan.

"Return the car to Ling Xiao and tell him I'm picking Xia Ningxi up to take her home tonight," Huo Nanxiao ordered.

Huo Jinchuan said, "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Ling Xiao and Xia Ningxi came together. If I say this, he might kill me."

"What are you afraid of?" Huo Nanxiao asked back.

Huo Jinchuan was extremely frustrated. Huo Nanxiao had already divorced Xia Ningxi, and now Ling Xiao and Xia Ningxi were a couple. Huo Nanxiao asked him to tell Ling Xiao that he had brought Xia Ningxi home. How could Ling Xiao not be angry?

He would definitely think that Huo Jinchuan came to show off or deliberately cause trouble, and it's hard to say whether he would get beaten up.

Huo Nanxiao really has the nerve to say such a thing.

But Huo Nanxiao didn't care about these issues at all. He took Xia Ningxi away and left him only with a set of car keys. He could only obediently do as Huo Nanxiao said.

As midnight approached, there were far fewer cars outside the capital city, and there were no traffic jams along the way.

While waiting at the traffic light, Xia Ningxi glanced at the map and said, "My hotel is up ahead. You can just drop me off at the roadside in a bit."

Huo Nanxiao ignored him and drove directly to Lanyuan.

She remained seated in the car, unwilling to enter, and coldly looked at Huo Nanxiao: "This is your home, it's inappropriate for me to set foot here again."

“No one else has stayed here except you and the child,” Huo Nanxiao explained.

Xia Ningxi: "It has nothing to do with me."

Her attitude was very clear: she didn't want to go in.

Huo Nanxiao got out of the car and said to the butler who was walking towards him, "Arrange a guest room for the young mistress."

The butler was taken aback. He tilted his head and looked at the car not far away, thinking that Xia Wanwan had arrived. He felt a little displeased and walked towards the car with a stern face. When he saw that the person sitting in the car was Xia Ningxi, he was surprised and immediately laughed.

"Young Madam? Is it really you?" the butler asked in surprise.

Xia Ningxi was a little embarrassed: "Sorry to bother you."

Butler: "No disturbance, no disturbance, young mistress, please come in."

Overcome with excitement, he opened the car door to invite Xia Ningxi out while instructing his family, "Quickly make a glass of fresh juice for the young mistress, without sugar, because she likes it."

The servants in the house were overjoyed to see that it was Xia Ningxi. They rushed to prepare all kinds of food to entertain her, and some even prepared shoes for her, just waiting to change her shoes.

The overly enthusiastic attitude of the crowd made Xia Ningxi feel a little uncomfortable. She couldn't stay in the car, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and enter Lanyuan.

This place is almost exactly the same as when she left, without a single change. Even the children's play area is the same, with toys still in their original places, without any dust, showing that someone has cleaned it.

To Xia Ningxi, she was now an outsider.

She sat in the living room without moving.

"Young Madam, please try this. Is it the same taste as before?" The housekeeper warmly served the fresh fruit juice.

Xia Ningxi carefully took it and whispered a reminder: "I'm divorced from Huo Nanxiao, so please don't call me that anymore."

“The young mistress will always be the mistress of this house. These are the words of Young Master Huo, and we dare not disobey them,” the butler replied.

Xia Ningxi's feelings were complicated, and she glanced thoughtfully at Huo Nanxiao not far away.

Huo Nanxiao coughed lightly and said to the butler, "You may all go and rest."

"Alright, alright, we'll leave now." The butler dismissed all the servants in the house.

In the vast Lan Garden, only Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi remained, creating a slightly awkward atmosphere.

Xia Ningxi coughed lightly and asked politely, "Where do I live?"

"Your original room," Huo Nanxiao replied.

"Thank you." Xia Ningxi finished her juice and quickly went upstairs.

The room was large and unchanged from before. Even the clothes in the closet were still there, which must have been regularly cleaned and disinfected. Every piece of clothing was very clean and even had a faint fragrance.

"Why hasn't this guy thrown away my clothes yet?" Xia Ningxi wondered.

Logically speaking, since they've already divorced and separated for so long, Huo Nanxiao should have cleaned out everything in the room long ago. If Xia Wanwan saw this, she would definitely be angry.

If he had any sense at all, he would know to get rid of all his ex-wife's things.

Even the servants and housekeepers in the house don't change how they address her. No wonder the Xia family is getting more and more crazy. If this happened to Xia Wanwan, it would be a miracle if she didn't go insane.

It seems I still need to have a serious talk with Huo Nanxiao.

Xia Ningxi took a fragrant hot bath, rummaged through the table but couldn't find her skincare products. She remembered that they should be in Huo Nanxiao's room, so she went to look for them.

Huo Nanxiao was still awake, sitting on the bed looking at documents, and was somewhat surprised when she pushed the door open and entered.

"Are my skincare products kept here with you?" Xia Ningxi asked.

Huo Nanxiao: "In the drawer."

"Okay, thank you." Xia Ningxi opened the drawer; all her things were inside, and none of them had been touched.

"Why are you still keeping my things here?" Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled.

Huo Nanxiao countered, "Where else can I put it if not in the drawer?"

“You should throw it away. After all, I won’t be using it again, and it’s not good to keep it and let people see it,” Xia Ningxi said.

Huo Nanxiao put down the file in his hand. "Xia Wanwan has never entered this room, nor has she ever stayed here overnight. She won't see it."

“Since you’re married, you should throw away everything that belongs to your ex-wife. Even if she doesn’t come, you shouldn’t keep it. She’s not stupid; she knows everything. Doing this will only cause discord in your marriage and will eventually affect innocent people.”

She didn't understand before why Xia Wanwan was still not satisfied even though she had already obtained everything, and insisted on killing her. But now it seems that there is some reason why she could do such a thing.

Many people love Huo Nanxiao, but Xia Wanwan is definitely the most passionate one.

Huo Nanxiao was the only person she could rely on in her life. Having finally married him, she would naturally try her best to please him.

However, Huo Nanxiao still left his ex-wife's things in Lanyuan, and Xia Wanwan must know about this.
