Chapter 908 Give Up on That Idea

Xia Wanwan had already embarrassed herself enough. At this point, she couldn't possibly be so shameless as to try and seduce Huo Nanxiao. She still had a sense of shame.

She said, "It's none of your business."

“You are my daughter, how can I not care about you?” Zhou Fenglin questioned.

Xia Wanwan said, "Huo Nanxiao has no feelings for me anymore. He's focused on his work and has no interest in thinking about this kind of thing."

"He's not in the mood? Can't you make him in the mood? Are you stupid? Do you think you have many opportunities? Huo Nanxiao can't even be interested in you now, do you think he'll even look at you in the future?" Zhou Fenglin mocked viciously.

Xia Wanwan tried to salvage her dignity: "He didn't marry me to have children with me. Besides, given my current situation, I can't even have children. Why would he offer himself up like this?"

"Whether you can give birth or not is one thing, whether you can make Huo Nanxiao fall in love with your body is another. Your body is weak right now, and men like weak women like you the most. Trust me, take the initiative." Zhou Fenglin lowered his voice.

Xia Wanwan blushed, biting her lip in embarrassment and indignation, unsure how to answer.

Zhou Fenglin: "I am your mother. What are you still shy about in front of me? If you have any burden in your heart, I will leave now and let you two have your private life."

Zhou Fenglin handed a bottle of fine red wine to Xia Wanwan: "Take it to the study. Huo Nanxiao must be very tired, he's been busy until so late. He can have some wine to sober up. I'll be leaving now."

"Where can you go so late? Why don't you stay here?" Xia Wanwan took the initiative to persuade her to stay.

Zhou Fenglin: "Isn't it because I was worried you wouldn't be able to let loose?"

“I can deliver wine to Huo Nanxiao, but I can’t guarantee anything else. He almost never goes downstairs after he gets home, and he goes back to the company as soon as it’s light in the morning. You can stay here without worry, he won’t know.” In the end, Xia Wanwan couldn’t bear to kick him out so late at night.

Zhou Fenglin was in a great mood.

Xia Wanwan took the red wine upstairs and knocked on the study door.

"Nan Xiao, are you still busy?" she asked softly.

When Huo Nanxiao opened the door, he saw Xia Wanwan wearing light pajamas, holding two glasses of red wine, looking timid.

"Have something to drink," Xia Wanwan said softly.

Huo Nanxiao refused: "No need, you can drink it yourself."

"Then...coffee?" Xia Wanwan asked again.

Huo Nanxiao's face darkened: "What do you want?"

"No, no." Xia Wanwan's cheeks flushed, and she didn't dare to tell Huo Nanxiao what Zhou Fenglin had said.

Huo Nanxiao didn't press further, and took one of the glasses of red wine from her hand, saying, "You can go back and rest now."

But Xia Wanwan was unwilling to leave just like that. She took the initiative to start a conversation: "I heard that Fei Bai and the others have also come to Lingcheng?"

"Mm," Huo Nanxiao responded.

Xia Wanwan: "I haven't seen them in a long time. When are you free to get together?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "They came to Lingcheng to discuss business, so they probably don't have time."

"That's a pity. I'm so bored in Lingcheng all by myself. There's no one to talk to. And you're often away from home. I'm almost speechless when I'm home alone." Xia Wanwan lowered her head, her voice tinged with grievance.

Huo Nanxiao, however, had already seen through her: "Isn't your mother here? She should have a lot to talk about with you."

"You found out?" A hint of embarrassment flashed across Xia Wanwan's face.

Huo Nanxiao said, "They are your family. I don't object to you being with your relatives, but you have to understand that you are you and you are different from them."

"I understand." Xia Wanwan lowered her head very low.

Huo Nanxiao: "Is the person still downstairs?"

"Yes," Xia Wanwan replied.

Huo Nanxiao put down the red wine in his hand and went downstairs.

At this moment, Zhou Fenglin was still happily fantasizing about his dream of becoming the mother-in-law of a wealthy heir, and the smile on his face almost stretched to the back of his ears.

But when she saw Huo Nanxiao, the smile on her face froze.

"Young Master Huo," Zhou Fenglin's voice trembled slightly.

Huo Nanxiao's expression was indifferent, making it impossible to discern his true feelings.

The more indifferent he was, the more uneasy Zhou Fenglin became.

Her mother-in-law was anything but imposing. Huo Nanxiao had never taken her seriously before, and with all the trouble she'd caused recently, he was even more dissatisfied with her. She was terrified.

However, Zhou Fenglin didn't dare to show it; she was also afraid of losing face, so she gave an awkward smile.

Huo Nanxiao glanced at her indifferently with his cold eyes and slowly said, "It seems you're still not giving up."

"What did I do wrong? Why is Young Master Huo saying this?" Zhou Fenglin was completely confused.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I might as well be frank with you today. I married Xia Wanwan only because I didn't want her to have a hard time. When the time comes, I will divorce her."

“I know you’ve been eyeing the child. I can’t have a child with Xia Wanwan, and I can no longer support the Xia family. Forget about it.”

The man's cold voice was powerful and resonant, each word piercing Zhou Fenglin's ambition to rise to the top.

She almost cried, but she didn't dare to.

Xia Wanwan felt embarrassed and kept her head down without saying a word.

Zhou Fenglin winked at her, trying to get Xia Wanwan to say something.

Huo Nanxiao sneered: "You don't need to look at her. I made an agreement with her long before we got married. If I really wanted a child, why didn't I bring Huo Yuan and the others home? You should stop using any tricks, give up on that idea, behave yourself, and the Xia family's future won't be too difficult, understand?"

"I understand." Zhou Fenglin's face turned pale.

Huo Nanxiao didn't even bother to look at her, and said to Xia Wanwan, "She should go back."

"Understood." Xia Wanwan couldn't very well keep Zhou Fenglin from staying any longer, so she pulled her along and quickly walked out of the villa.

"Wanwan, how could you let Huo Nanxiao humiliate me like this?" Zhou Fenglin questioned excitedly.

Xia Wanwan said, "Don't you understand? He doesn't like you."

“I am your mother and his mother-in-law, how could he be so outrageous! And what did he mean by those words? Does he look down on you? Then why did he marry you? Aren't you going to spend your whole life together when you get married?” Zhou Fenglin became angrier the more she thought about it.

Xia Wanwan: "He said that he would divorce me after I recovered and was able to go back to work."

"He wasn't just saying that out of anger?" Zhou Fenglin asked incredulously.

Xia Wanwan smiled bitterly: "He's telling the truth, he will divorce me."

"Are you crazy? How could you agree to such an outrageous thing? I let you marry him for wealth and status, and you're not allowed to divorce him!" Zhou Fenglin was very agitated.

Xia Wanwan: "The problem isn't with me. He's no longer the Huo Nanxiao who loved me. He wants a divorce, and I can't stop him."

"Is it because of Xia Ningxi? Why is that bitch haunting us!" Zhou Fenglin attributed all the blame to Xia Ningxi.

Xia Wanwan said, "You should leave now. Let's see each other less often in the future. Huo Nanxiao doesn't like me contacting the Xia family. Don't come looking for me unless it's absolutely necessary."

“I can leave, but you must make Huo Nanxiao give those two projects in the Imperial City to your father.” Zhou Fenglin’s attitude was very firm.

Xia Wanwan took a deep breath: "I'll do my best."

In the end, the two projects did not go to Xia Wenhe, which made Zhou Fenglin very angry. But what angered her even more was that Huo Nanxiao actually gave the two very profitable projects to Xia Jingcheng.

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Fenglin was practically ready to grab a knife and rush to Xia Ningxi's house to demand an explanation.

But she couldn't even get close to Xia Ningxi's house before she was stopped by the bodyguards outside the villa. She cursed and screamed like a madwoman outside the door.

Xia Ningxi was still puzzled, thinking that she hadn't done anything wrong these days. She glanced at the madwoman outside the window and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

"I guess it's because I recently took on two projects, both from the Huo family. I heard Xia Wenhe is also eyeing this lucrative opportunity, and I guess he's broken through his defenses," Xia Jingcheng said casually.

Xia Ningxi was surprised: "You went to see Huo Nanxiao?"

“No, it was Ye Su who came to find me,” Xia Jingcheng replied.

Xia Ningxi understood: "He's trying to bribe you."

“Nobody turns down money. I can’t let you raise these kids forever. These three little ones are still so young. There will be many more expenses in the future. As their older brother, I also need to work hard.”

Xia Jingcheng decided to share the burden of supporting the family, as he couldn't let Xia Ningxi raise three children alone.

Huo Nanxiao, that bastard, still has some conscience.

Hearing the angry shouts outside the door, Xia Jingcheng said to Xia Ningxi, "I'm a little worried that she might go crazy and retaliate against you."
