Chapter 899 Please Leave Him

Xia Ningxi was also surprised to receive a call from Xia Wanwan, and was even more surprised to learn that Xia Wanwan had been admitted to the hospital again.

Xia Wanwan was fine yesterday, so how did she end up in the hospital today?

Moreover, Xia Wanwan was very good at choosing places; she stayed at the hospital where Lin Jiangbei worked.

Xia Ningxi was also puzzled. Why would Xia Wanwan come to her out of the blue? Did she expect Xia Ningxi to come and treat her?

Xia Wanwan probably also expected that Xia Ningxi wouldn't see her, and said softly, "I won't take up too much of your time, or you can tell me where you are, and I can come to you."

"No need," Xia Ningxi declined her suggestion.

After hanging up the phone, she went back to work.

Lin Jiangbei glanced at Xia Ningxi cautiously, "Are you going to see her?"

"Let's talk about it after we're done with this." Xia Ningxi's attitude was very cold.

Lin Jiangbei was very curious: "Her meeting with you is definitely not just for catching up."

"Heh, even an outsider like you could see that." Xia Ningxi smiled.

Lin Jiangbei: "I'm young, not stupid. The fact that Xia Wanwan followed him to Lingcheng is enough to show that her relationship with Huo Nanxiao is not good. Huo Nanxiao didn't even come to visit her when she was hospitalized, which shows how difficult her life is."

"Perhaps she has now placed her last hope on you, and even hopes that you can help her."

Xia Ningxi thought Lin Jiangbei was joking; she wasn't so idle as to meddle in other people's business.

As for why Xia Wanwan was in the hospital, it had nothing to do with her.

She poured all her energy into her work, working from dawn till dusk.

Just before she was about to leave work, Tang En came to find Xia Ningxi. Only then did she remember that Xia Wanwan had been waiting for her, so she took a few minutes to go and see Xia Wanwan.

To be honest, Xia Wanwan looked terrible.

When he saw Xia Ningxi, a trace of color finally returned to her already pale and weak face.

"You're here." Xia Wanwan was pleasantly surprised.

Xia Ningxi glanced around and asked, "Are you alone?"

"Yes, I don't know what Nan Xiao is busy with." Xia Wanwan gave a wry smile.

Xia Ningxi: "I'm very busy."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bothered you, but I'm all alone in the hospital and I don't know who to talk to." Xia Wanwan's voice was hoarse and weak.

Xia Ningxi raised an eyebrow: "You've got the wrong person. I'm not that free."

"Yes, I know you're busy, and I know you have a lot to do and no time to spend with me. I just don't understand why Nan Xiao came to Lingcheng." She smiled bitterly, her voice filled with helplessness.

Xia Ningxi said, "You should ask him."

“Nan Xiao won’t listen to me at all. He’s been very cold to me lately,” Xia Wanwan replied.

"Oh," Xia Ningxi replied indifferently.

Xia Wanwan: "Was he like this when he was with you?"

Xia Ningxi: "I don't remember."

"I thought he was just being cold to me." Xia Wanwan lowered her eyes.

Xia Ningxi grew impatient: "Your affairs have nothing to do with me. Don't come to me with these things again. I can't control them, and I'm not interested."

She wasn't so idle as to meddle in other people's business, much less help Xia Wanwan. What was the point of crying to her? Did she expect Huo Nanxiao to stay with Xia Wanwan?

Are you kidding me?

Xia Ningxi is about to leave.

Xia Wanwan quickly grabbed her hand: "Don't go yet."

"Is there anything else?" Xia Ningxi asked impatiently.

Xia Wanwan asked, "Can you get in touch with Nan Xiao?"

"Don't you have his phone number?" Xia Ningxi asked back.

Xia Wanwan lowered her head and said, "He's been very busy lately. I've called him but he hasn't answered. I don't know if he's blocked me. Could I borrow your phone to make a call?"

Xia Ningxi pulled out the landline in the ward and handed it to Xia Wanwan: "You can make free calls from the landline in the ward. It's free. If you want to talk to Huo Nanxiao, you can do it anytime."

“That’s different,” Xia Wanwan rejected her suggestion.

Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "To put it bluntly, you just want to figure out Huo Nanxiao's attitude, to know if he is so indifferent to everyone, or just to you."

"I'm sorry." Xia Wanwan was ashamed and indignant. "You know that our whole family depends on Nan Xiao for a living, and the Xia Group depends entirely on him. I can't lose him."

"And then what? What's the point of you coming to me? You've already got everything you wanted." Xia Ningxi didn't understand why Xia Wanwan was still clinging to her.

Xia Wanwan's eyes were red: "Yes, from the outside world's perspective, I have indeed obtained everything. I married Huo Nanxiao and became Mrs. Huo. But you know, Mr. Huo doesn't even look at me, and Nanxiao's attitude towards me is also..."

“As Mrs. Huo, I have no power at all. Even if the Xia family wants to get resources from Nan Xiao, they will have to fight tooth and nail for them. I feel that Nan Xiao doesn’t care about me at all, but cares more about you.”

These words annoyed Xia Ningxi, and she lost her patience, retorting to Xia Wanwan, "You're overthinking it."

Xia Wanwan explained, "I didn't think too much about it. I could sense all of this. Nan Xiao came to Lingcheng for you, and he kept his distance from me and took the initiative to avoid suspicion because of you."

"Ha, you're already married, and you still talk about avoiding suspicion? Xia Wanwan, you may be out of your mind, but Tang En has pretty much cured you, hasn't he?" Xia Ningxi mocked.

Xia Wanwan smiled bitterly: "Can't you feel it at all? During this time, he has seen you, his ex-wife, more often than he has seen me. I am his wife, but he has devoted all his time and energy to you and the child."

Xia Ningxi, do you really think Huo Nanxiao loves me? His excessive concern for your family—is it just my imagination?

She became more and more agitated as she spoke.

After thinking about it carefully, Xia Ningxi felt that Xia Wanwan's words seemed to make sense. Huo Nanxiao's attitude towards her during this period was indeed somewhat puzzling, and he would come to see her every few days.

At first, she thought Huo Nanxiao was just coming to see the child, but now that she thinks about it carefully, it seems that's not the case.

If it were just for the sake of the child, Huo Nanxiao could have left after watching the show; there was no need for him to stay overnight.

Thinking of this, Xia Ningxi suppressed the turmoil in her heart and asked coldly, "And then?"

Xia Wanwan said, "Now that you've decided to be with Ling Xiao, can you keep your distance from Nan Xiao?"

After a pause, Xia Wanwan continued, "I know it's too much to say this, but as long as he keeps in touch with you, he will inevitably think about all the little things you did together, and for the sake of the child, he will have the idea of ​​getting back together with you."

"If Mr. Ling knew about this, he would definitely be displeased. Consider it something I owe you. Could you please keep your distance from Nan Xiao?"

She pleaded with Xia Ningxi, each word spoken softly.

It seems that, in Xia Wanwan's view, as long as Xia Ningxi withdraws, Huo Nanxiao can return to her family.

Xia Ningxi laughed out of anger, "So in your opinion, your marriage is not perfect because of me, right?"
