Chapter 91 Stay away from her from now on

This woman...

She looks exactly like the deceased young mistress!

Everyone was shocked, their eyes wide with disbelief.

Even the usually worldly-wise butler Li was so startled he almost cried out. His eyes widened as he stared intently at the woman before him, scrutinizing her closely…

This face does look exactly like the young mistress's, but their temperaments are quite different.

The young mistress's eyes were gentler.

But the woman in front of him had a very cold look in her eyes.

Isn't this the young mistress?

They look so alike!

Everyone present was so shocked that they dared not speak, and their thoughts were the same as those of Butler Li.

Huo Nanxiao completely ignored the nearly terrified expressions on everyone's faces and said to Butler Li, "Keep an eye on her. If she dares to run, break her legs."

The butler was startled.

The next second, Xia Ningxi was heard cursing.

"Huo Nanxiao, you bastard."

Butler Li was so frightened he almost fainted.

He could barely stand up with the help of his little follower behind him.

At this moment, Butler Li's heart was in his throat. This girl was incredibly bold.

How could she insult Young Master Huo!

Is she out of her mind?!

Huo Nanxiao was equally angry. His cold eyes were fixed on Xia Ningxi as he took a step closer to her and pinched her cheek: "You'd better not be courting death."

With those words, Huo Nanxiao turned and entered Lanyuan.

Soon, Huo Yuan was also taken to Lu Qi's home.

Huo Nanxiao didn't want Huo Yuan to see him arguing with Xia Ningxi, so when they returned, they sat separately from Huo Yuan. After arriving home, Huo Nanxiao called his private doctor, and soon a whole team arrived with medical equipment to take over Huo Yuan's treatment.

Huo Yuan asked, "Daddy, where is Dr. Xia?"

“She’s tired and needs to rest,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Huo Yuan lowered his head, looking very serious: "Daddy, please don't make things difficult for Dr. Xia, okay?"

"Ah Yuan, do you know where she's taking you today?" Huo Nanxiao asked very seriously.

Huo Yuan nodded: "I know, Dr. Xia is going to take me out to play."

"Do you know that if Daddy hadn't found out early today, you would have been kidnapped by her and would never have seen Daddy again in this life?" Huo Nanxiao said.

Huo Yuan didn't believe it: "Dr. Xia is a good person, she wouldn't try to trick me."

“She’s a bad person!” Huo Nanxiao said very seriously. “From now on, stay away from her.”

"No, I like Dr. Xia, I want Dr. Xia! Why did Daddy say she's a bad person without any evidence? I don't believe it!" Huo Yuan was very angry, raising his little face and arguing with Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Nanxiao frowned. Ever since Huo Yuan met Xia Ningxi, he has become increasingly bold, and now he even dares to talk back.

Huo Nanxiao clenched his fists angrily, his expression very serious: "I have found you a new doctor. From today onwards, you should stay here and recover from your injuries. Do not concern yourself with anyone else or anything else."

Huo Nanxiao turned and left, never mentioning Xia Ningxi again.

Huo Yuan was extremely excited: "Daddy, I only want Dr. Xia!"

Huo Nanxiao ignored him and walked away quickly.

After leaving Huo Yuan's room, they encountered Butler Li, who was nervously at a loss for what to do: "Young Master Huo, what should we do with the young lady you brought today? Should we send her to your room, or prepare another guest room?"

Huo Nanxiao glared angrily at Butler Li.

Butler Li turned pale with fright: "I'll go prepare a guest room for her right away."

Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly: "Lock him up, don't let me see him."

After leaving a message, Huo Nanxiao turned and left.

Butler Li wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It seemed that the young lady visiting today was not Young Master Huo's new favorite. It appeared that the two were enemies.

Butler Li didn't dare to have too much contact with Xia Ningxi. After escorting Xia Ningxi to her guest room, he locked the door from the outside.

Xia Ningxi went to open the door after hearing the lock click, but couldn't open it.

"Open the door!"

She shouted loudly.

Butler Li stood outside the door, wiping away cold sweat.

Facing this person who looked exactly like the young mistress, he dared not be negligent: "Miss, Young Master Huo means that you should reflect on your actions inside."

Butler Li also called over a dozen people to stand guard outside the room.

No matter what Xia Ningxi said, the people outside the door ignored her.

Xia Ningxi's hands were swollen from clapping. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar room, she felt a deep sadness in her heart.

She was tired, so she went to the sofa, curled up, and lay there for a long time.

She didn't know how long she had been locked up, and since she didn't have her phone, she could only rely on the sky outside to tell the time.

The sky was overcast; it must be around 7 p.m.

Huo Nanxiao confiscated her phone, so she couldn't contact the outside world and didn't know how Chu Chu was doing. Her biggest worry was Chu Chu. She was injured and must be very sad without her mother by her side. She might even cry.

Thinking of this, Xia Ningxi felt so heartbroken that she almost suffocated.

She sat up straight on the sofa, went into the bathroom to wash her face, and looked at her somewhat disheveled self in the mirror. Xia Ningxi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She walked to the window, wanting to see how high her place was. When she pulled back the curtains, she discovered it was a fully enclosed floor-to-ceiling window. No wonder Huo Nanxiao had locked her up here; he was afraid she would run away.

That bastard.

...

Huo Nanxiao kept sneezing in the evening, feeling like someone was cursing him.

Thinking about the person locked upstairs, it's most likely her.

After finishing his work, Huo Nanxiao asked Butler Li, "What is she doing?"

“She’s been lying there all day and hasn’t eaten. Young Master, do you think we should prepare some food for her?” Butler Li asked.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Go and prepare, I'll send it up in a bit."

Butler Li was stunned. Huo Nanxiao never personally delivered meals to people. What kind of treatment was this? He was secretly surprised and became even more curious about the woman locked up upstairs.

Is it because she and the young mistress have the exact same face that Huo Shao treats her differently?

The housekeeper dared not associate the people upstairs with Xia Ningxi, because anyone who knew about what happened back then knew that Xia Ningxi had long since died.

Huo Nanxiao didn't explain it to anyone.

After dinner was prepared, he personally brought it upstairs.

"Greetings, Young Master Huo." A dozen guards greeted him in unison outside the door.

Huo Nanxiao didn't look at them and said, "Open the door."

One of them quickly ran to open the door.

The room was pitch black.

Huo Nanxiao turned on the light and went inside.

Hearing the noise, Xia Ningxi immediately looked towards the door and saw Huo Nanxiao bringing in food and placing it coldly on the table. She said, "How long do you plan to keep me locked up?"

Huo Nanxiao walked to the opposite side of Xia Ningxi, sat down, crossed his legs, and his cold face was devoid of any warmth.

"Eat your food." A very simple sentence.

Xia Ningxi flipped the plate over.
