Chapter 893 She's not worthy to be compared to Xia Ningxi

Xia Ningxi saw that he didn't seem to be joking, and her heart sank to the bottom.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Ling Xiao asked.

"I don't think it's appropriate," Xia Ningxi replied truthfully.

Ling Xiao: "I think it's very suitable."

Xia Ningxi said, "Putting aside other factors, my marriage to you will only bring huge trouble to the Ling family. You are a member of the eldest branch of the family, and the family has high hopes for you. You should not be dragged into this mess by me."

Ling Xiao laughed: "Do you know that among the four major families in Lingcheng, not one is a top talent in the medical field? With your talent, you will only contribute to the Ling family and will not cause me any trouble."

Xia Ningxi fell silent, unsure of what to say.

Ling Xiao knew she was in a dilemma, so he didn't rush her. "Think it over carefully. There's no need to give me an answer right away. Think it through before you make a decision."

After Ling Xiao left, Xia Ningxi sat in the garden in a daze. Several children hurriedly came up and surrounded Xia Ningxi.

"Mommy, Mommy, are you really going to marry Uncle Ling?" Chu Chu asked in her childish voice.

Xia Ningxi tapped the little girl's forehead: "No gossiping."

“But I think Uncle Ling is a good person,” Chu Chu replied.

Xingxing nodded in agreement: "I also think Uncle Ling is a good person. If you marry him, Daddy won't bother Mommy anymore."

"But Uncle Ling is not our biological father after all," Huo Yuan murmured softly.

Chu Chu: "That's not important, Uncle Ling is rich."

“But Daddy has money too.” Huo Yuan’s voice was very soft, and he lowered his head very low as he spoke.

Xia Ningxi picked up Huo Yuan and said, "No matter what happens in the future, Huo Nanxiao will always be your daddy."

Huo Yuan lowered his little head: "Although I like Daddy, he went too far. Mommy has a better choice. I will support you, so don't worry about me."

Children tend to prefer their fathers more, and Xia Ningxi couldn't change that.

It's normal for Huo Yuan, who grew up in the capital, to yearn for Huo Nanxiao more. As his biological mother, Xia Ningxi couldn't completely sever his blood ties with Huo Nanxiao, so she could only comfort him.

Fortunately, Huo Yuan is a sensible young man. No matter how much he likes Huo Nanxiao, he won't let Xia Ningxi suffer for him.

So Huo Yuan eventually agreed to the marriage proposal.

The three little ones unanimously expressed their agreement with every decision Xia Ningxi made.

Xia Ningxi was pleased and didn't say anything more.

Marrying Ling Xiao would have many benefits for her, but she was unwilling to make it public. Standing by Ling Xiao's side was also because she was worried that Ling Xiao would be influenced by her.

Now that Huo Nanxiao is coming to Lingcheng to carry out other business, he will inevitably stay in Lingcheng for a long time. Given his temperament, he will definitely find various excuses to stay at Xia Ningxi's house.

She thought about it all night, tossing and turning in bed, but couldn't fall asleep.

Xia Ningxi didn't fall asleep until dawn the next day, thus missing her work start time.

She only missed one morning of work, and rumors were already circulating, all about Ling Xiao's marriage.

Tang En also sent Xia Ningxi many messages, but she didn't have time to read them before she received a call from Xia Wanwan.

It's obvious why Xia Wanwan sought her out.

Xia Ningxi hung up Xia Wanwan's call, changed her clothes, and went to the hospital.

Lin Jiangbei was very excited, addressing her as "Sister-in-law" repeatedly: "Good afternoon, Sister-in-law! Why are you only arriving at noon? Were you too busy? I just had the Ling family's chef prepare lunch, which will be delivered soon. Why don't you eat with me, Sister-in-law?"

All the staff in the ward turned to look at Xia Ningxi, their expressions quite complex.

They probably didn't expect Xia Ningxi to be promoted so quickly, so they could only call her "sister-in-law" along with Lin Jiangbei.

Xia Ningxi blushed and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not lying. My older brother told us last night that he's planning to marry you," Lin Jiangbei said innocently.

Xia Ningxi: "That's not true."

“My older brother doesn’t talk nonsense. He must have made up his mind before proposing marriage. I fully support your marriage into the Ling family.” Lin Jiangbei was practically raising both hands to vote.

Xia Ningxi was very embarrassed. She quickly performed a physical examination on him and left the ward.

Tang En also received the news of her upcoming marriage and rushed over from the lab. Seeing Xia Ningxi closing the ward door with a gloomy expression, he asked, "Who made you angry?"

"Who else could it be?" Xia Ningxi sighed.

Tang En: "You probably don't really want to marry Ling Xiao, do you?"

“He brought it up once yesterday, but I didn’t agree,” Xia Ningxi answered truthfully.

Tang En: "Huo Nanxiao bought the Tianhang International Building last night and is coming to Lingcheng today. Perhaps he's trying to deal with Huo Nanxiao, so he spread the news of your upcoming marriage early. I'm just curious, what do you think about this?"

"How can I see it? Do I have the authority to make that decision?" Xia Ningxi retorted.

Don: "You can go back to Desla, I'll arrange a way out for you."

"Forget it, the child has finally adapted to the environment here. If he goes abroad again, A-Yuan will have a hard time adapting." Xia Ningxi shook her head.

Tang En: "But if Huo Nanxiao comes to Lingcheng, it will be particularly troublesome for you. Have you thought about how to deal with him?"

"I hadn't thought about that." Xia Ningxi was also puzzled. "Oh well, things will work themselves out. I won't think about it too much."

She was exhausted and didn't want to dwell on the matter.

Ling Xiao must have his reasons for doing this, so Xia Ningxi is now choosing to protect herself and remains silent.

The news quickly reached Huo Nanxiao's ears, and he was so angry when he learned that Xia Ningxi was getting married that his face turned black.

The high-ranking officials in the conference room were so intimidated by the powerful pressure that they dared not utter a sound, for fear of getting into trouble.

The meeting was held in a state of constant fear and trepidation.

After the meeting, a group of high-ranking officials fled as if they were fleeing a famine, leaving only Huo Nanxiao and Ye Su behind.

Ye Su stood silently to the side under immense pressure, her back drenched in cold sweat.

"Is the news that Ling Xiao is getting married true?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Ye Su said cautiously, "Ling Xiao admitted it himself to the media, so he shouldn't be lying."

Bang--

Huo Nanxiao angrily slammed the document on the table.

Ye Su was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe. She nervously clenched her hands and added, "President, I heard that they got their marriage certificate abroad a long time ago. Ling Xiao just wants to hold a wedding ceremony."

"Get out!" Huo Nanxiao was furious.

Ye Su nodded awkwardly and ran away as fast as she could.

The moment she closed the conference room door, she heard a series of loud cracking sounds coming from inside.

Everyone in the department crowded around Ye Su, asking, "What's wrong with the president? Who made her so angry?"

Ye Su wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. "Naturally, it's the president's wife."

"Xia Wanwan?" someone asked in surprise.

Ye Su: "It's Xia Ningxi!"

Xia Wanwan doesn't have that much ability. Does she even deserve to be compared to Xia Ningxi?
