Chapter 881 Dressing Your Child

Zhou Fenglin, the delivery driver, knew all of them. Huo Nanxiao had bought Xia Wanwan a lot of things before, and the mall would specially arrange for someone to personally deliver them to Xia's home. It was almost always the same person.

This time, Huo Nanxiao did not suggest changing the address. The driver assumed it was for Xia Wanwan again and delivered all the children's clothes directly to the Xia family.

Zhou Fenglin was overjoyed, thinking that Huo Nanxiao had bought all the clothes for Xia Wanwan, and hurriedly ordered the servants to unload all the clothes from the car.

"Wanwan, Young Master Huo is so good to you, he bought so many things for you again."

"It seems he doesn't think much of Xia Ningxi either."

"You're really capable; all my years of careful cultivation haven't been in vain."

Zhou Fenglin was grinning so hard his mouth almost reached the back of his ears.

Xia Wanwan was also quite happy. She thought that since Xia Ningxi had returned, Huo Nanxiao no longer had any feelings for her. However, seeing so many servants carrying things into the house, she felt Huo Nanxiao's affection for her, and her mood improved a bit.

After everything was accounted for, the driver smiled and took out the receipt, saying, "All the children's clothes are here. Please sign."

Xia Wanwan's face stiffened. "Children's clothes?"

Zhou Fenglin, who was overjoyed just a moment ago, also rushed up: "What children's clothing?"

Driver: "That's all. There are fifty-seven sets of children's clothes in total. They're all here, not a single one is missing."

“We don’t have children in our family.” Xia Wanwan frowned. “Did you send it to the wrong place?”

Driver: "It's impossible to deliver it to the wrong place. Mr. Huo personally came to pick out the clothes today and even instructed that they be delivered here. He usually delivers his purchases to your place."

"The clothes were personally selected by President Huo?" Xia Wanwan murmured to herself.

Zhou Fenglin grabbed Xia Wanwan's hand in a panic and lowered his voice: "Is he implying that you should get pregnant soon?"

"No way." Xia Wanwan was also puzzled. Huo Nanxiao knew her physical condition very well. If Huo Nanxiao really had something to say, he would definitely mention it in front of Xia Wanwan.

Zhou Fenglin: "So you want to have a child with me. That's why you bought so many clothes that only children can wear. Great! You must seize this opportunity and get pregnant as soon as possible so that your position will be completely secure in the future."

Xia Wanwan found her words increasingly grating. Others might not know about her relationship with Huo Nanxiao, but Xia Wanwan, as the person involved, knew very well that Huo Nanxiao could not possibly have a child with her.

She became suspicious and opened several bags of children's clothes to check, and found that the sizes were all about the same, and the styles included both boys' and girls' clothes.

But these clothes are for four or five-year-old children. If Huo Nanxiao really wanted to prepare clothes for her child, he should have bought some clothes that only newborn babies could wear.

"You sent the wrong items; these clothes weren't bought for me." Xia Wanwan realized what was going on.

"No way, the address says this is your address. If it's not for you, who else could it be for?" the driver explained, pointing to the delivery address.

Xia Wanwan forced a smile. "I'm sorry, they must have gotten the address wrong. How about this, I'll pay you the shipping fee again, and you can deliver it to Lanyuan."

The driver had no choice but to comply after receiving the money.

Xia Wanwan instructed the maid to move the clothes she had just taken off the car back into the car.

Zhou Fenglin, standing to the side, was completely bewildered: "Why send it to Lanyuan? What are you thinking? This was all bought for you by Young Master Huo. His attitude is already very clear. You can't refuse him."

"Do you think you're still the same socialite you used to be? Do you think you can rest easy without a child? Since he's already given you hints, you should find a way to have the baby."

"Didn't you hear what I said? Where are you going?" Zhou Fenglin became angrier the more he thought about it.

Xia Wanwan didn't want to bring this up in front of outsiders, but Zhou Fenglin wouldn't let it go like a shrew. Xia Wanwan could only suppress her grievances and say in a low voice, "These are clothes that only four or five-year-old children can wear."

"With so many people watching, doesn't Mother understand who these clothes are for?"

She's already embarrassed enough.

Zhou Fenglin insisted that she make her point out clearly.

Xia Wanwan's eyes turned red.

Then, Zhou Fenglin, belatedly realizing the truth, suddenly exclaimed, "These were all bought by Huo Nanxiao for those children?"

"Otherwise, who else could wear these clothes besides them? You? Or me?" Xia Wanwan retorted.

Zhou Fenglin's face turned green: "It was them! Huo Nanxiao actually bought clothes for them and even delivered them to you. Isn't this a slap in your face?"

"So what if I do? What can I do?" Xia Wanwan retorted.

Zhou Fenglin: "How could he go so far! Is he even human?"

Xia Wanwan: "Forget it, it must have been a staff member who accidentally delivered it to the wrong place. Let's not hold a grudge."

“How could I not be angry? You are Huo Nanxiao’s wife. How could he buy things for those bastards without your permission, and so many at once? These clothes are all very expensive. How could he spend so much money on those little bastards!” Zhou Fenglin became angrier the more she thought about it.

Seeing the servants carrying large bags of clothes and stuffing them into the car, Zhou Fenglin grew increasingly angry and hurriedly stopped them.

"Stop right there, all of you. Leave all these clothes behind," Zhou Fenglin ordered.

The servants were surprised.

Xia Wanwan was also puzzled: "Mother, what are you doing?"

“Since it’s already been delivered, it’s our stuff. Consider it clothes Huo Nanxiao bought for your children in advance, and keep it all.” Zhou Fenglin said through gritted teeth.

Xia Wanwan said, "We can't wear these clothes anyway. These things are obviously bought for the children. If you take them away, you'll anger Huo Nanxiao."

"He did such a shameful thing and he's not afraid of angering you, so why should we be afraid of him?" Zhou Fenglin retorted.

Regardless of Xia Wanwan's thoughts, she insisted on taking all the clothes off, gave the driver two hundred yuan, and sent him away.

Xia Wanwan couldn't stop him, so she could only call Huo Nanxiao.

Zhou Fenglin immediately snatched her phone, hung up, and said, "Since Huo Nanxiao dared to buy it, it means those little bastards must be back. If you call now, he will definitely make up all sorts of excuses to deceive you, and then he will come looking for you when he realizes what's going on."

"Is this interesting?" Xia Wanwan asked back.

Zhou Fenglin: "He did something shameful, so he has to find a way to explain himself. This kind of thing can't just be left like this. You are his wife!"

The call ultimately failed to go through.

After shopping for clothes, Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi went to the Huo family's old house for dinner.

Because Xia Ningxi and the child were both there, Huo Xiuyuan's attitude towards Huo Nanxiao improved considerably.

Huo Nanxiao, on the other hand, was somewhat uncomfortable. According to Huo Xiuyuan's usual attitude, even if he didn't hit him with a stick, he would at least say a few sarcastic remarks.

But Huo Xiuyuan didn't say anything today. He probably had the three little ones around him the whole time, so he didn't have the time or the mood to argue with Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao enjoyed a rare, comfortable and sumptuous dinner.

"Why don't you all stay at the old house tonight?" Huo Xiuyuan suddenly suggested.

Xia Ningxi looked at Huo Nanxiao, seeking his opinion.

Huo Nanxiao casually replied with a "Okay".

The family of five eventually settled in the Huo family's old house, and Huo Nanxiao naturally didn't notice that all the new clothes he bought for the children had been sent to the Xia family.

Xia Wanwan remained very calm and didn't contact Huo Nanxiao for a whole day.

Zhou Fenglin, however, couldn't swallow this insult and kept calling Xia Ningxi, sending messages when he couldn't get through.

When Xia Ningxi turned around to check her phone, she was surprised to find it was full of spam messages from people who had been blacklisted.

"What's gotten into Zhou Fenglin this time?" She hadn't provoked this family.

The three children all heard Xia Ningxi's words and leaned over to whisper, "What did she say?"

"It's nothing." Xia Ningxi didn't dare let the child see these text messages.

Xingxing asked, "What triggered her this time?"

"I don't know." Xia Ningxi was also puzzled. Zhou Fenglin had been unusually well-behaved these past two days, and she didn't know what had gotten into him.

Based on Xia Ningxi's understanding of her, something extremely serious must have happened, otherwise Zhou Fenglin wouldn't be so furious.

She ignored Zhou Fenglin and picked up Xingxing in one gulp, asking, "Have you finished your homework today?"

"Yes, it's all finished." Xingxing nodded obediently.

Xia Ningxi asked Huo Yuan and Chu Chu, "Where are you two?"

Chu Chu: "I've finished writing."

Huo Yuan felt a little guilty: "I just finished my English class and haven't written it yet."

Xia Ningxi rubbed his little head: "Go do your homework. After you finish, we'll play games together. Your younger brother and sister will play with you."

"Okay." Huo Yuan nodded and obediently returned to his desk, silently picking up his pen.

When Huo Nanxiao returned from work, he found Huo Yuan alone, pitifully doing his homework.

"Why are you the only one doing the questions?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

"My younger siblings have finished their homework, but I haven't," Huo Yuan answered truthfully.

Huo Nanxiao walked over to the little guy and looked at him carefully: "Where don't you understand? I'll teach you."

"I don't know how to do it," Huo Yuan replied in a childish voice.

Huo Nanxiao was amused by this, "You don't even know how?"

"Yes, but I'm studying. There are textbooks here, and I'll learn by looking at them more." Huo Yuan held a textbook in one hand and an exercise book in the other, looking very serious.

Huo Nanxiao smiled as he watched the little guy trying so hard. He didn't disturb Huo Yuan and let the little guy figure it out on his own.

Xingxing and Chuchu didn't want to run off to play by themselves, so they sat next to Huo Yuan with a book in their arms.

The huge study was now empty except for Xia Ningxi, who was just bored.

Huo Nanxiao heated up a glass of milk and handed it to her: "What are you looking at?"

"Zhou Fenglin sent me a message." Xia Ningxi looked up: "Do you want to take a look?"

Huo Nanxiao raised an eyebrow, took her phone, and saw the offensive words. His handsome face grew colder and colder.

"What have you been doing lately that made them so angry?" Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled.

Huo Nanxiao asked coldly, "What can I do?"

“They must know that I and the child are back, that’s why they’re so angry. I’ll take the child back tomorrow,” Xia Ningxi said.

Huo Nanxiao deleted the few remaining text messages and said, "Whether you return to the capital or not has nothing to do with them."

“If there really was no connection, they wouldn’t be reacting so violently. Zhou Fenglin’s attitude reflects Xia Wanwan’s attitude,” Xia Ningxi replied.
