Chapter 923 I Don't Love You

He took a coat and draped it over Xia Ningxi's shoulders, then instructed her, "Change your shoes."

Xia Ningxi couldn't refuse, so she reluctantly went out with Huo Nanxiao.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Xia Ningxi consciously avoided entering the ward; she was too lazy to argue with Xia Wanwan.

Huo Nanxiao went in and comforted the agitated Xia Wanwan for a while, and they ended up hugging.

Of course, Xia Ningxi didn't see it; the nurse on duty told her.

Xia Ningxi didn't care at all and showed no intention of going in to watch the show.

The nurse, however, became gossipy and sat down next to Xia Ningxi to chat, "Dr. Xia, why did you come along so late?"

"I was forced to do this by certain people." Xia Ningxi yawned.

The nurse said, "Xia Wanwan's condition hasn't been good lately. You had an argument with her during the day, so it's best not to argue with her again. If you upset her and she gets sick, you'll only cause trouble for yourself."

"I know."

Xia Ningxi stood at the door and didn't go in because she knew this. If she really wanted Xia Wanwan dead, she could have gone in and had a big fight with her.

However, she didn't understand what Huo Nanxiao was thinking.

She wanted to leave.

Just as I was about to get up and leave, a questioning voice came from inside the ward.

Xia Wanwan probably sensed someone outside the door and asked Huo Nanxiao a question. Huo Nanxiao came out shortly after, looking at her with a sharp gaze.

"Can I go now?" Xia Ningxi asked.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Go in and say hello."

"No need, I already saw her today," Xia Ningxi replied.

Huo Nanxiao: "She has chest discomfort and needs your help to take a look."

"We're not doctor and patient; we're enemies, and we're the ones who interfered in each other's marriages. Mr. Huo, are you out of your mind to ask me to examine her? She doesn't want to see me." Xia Ningxi couldn't help but swear.

She genuinely suspected that Huo Nanxiao was out of his mind; otherwise, with so many choices, why would he choose her alone instead of the others?

Is it really because she's convenient and available whenever needed?

Xia Ningxi's questioning went unanswered, and Huo Nanxiao had already grabbed her hand and pulled her into the ward.

She could clearly see Xia Wanwan's gaze fixed on Huo Nanxiao's hand holding hers, and she could also clearly sense Xia Wanwan's sudden unease; she felt uncomfortable.

Huo Nanxiao didn't take Xia Wanwan's unusual behavior to heart at all, and his attitude was very indifferent: "The doctor who took care of you is resting. I brought Ning Xi with me when I came. You can have her take a look at any discomfort you feel."

Xia Wanwan was a little angry: "Nan Xiao, don't you know we had an argument today?"

“I know,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Wanwan: "I don't want to see her."

"I know that too," Huo Nanxiao said calmly.

With red eyes, Xia Wanwan asked him, "You know everything, so why do you insist on having her appear in front of me? You know why I mind."

"You have no choice."

Huo Nanxiao looked down at Xia Wanwan's haggard face, and his voice was extremely cold as he answered her.

Xia Wanwan was completely shocked.

Even Xia Ningxi, who was standing to the side, couldn't quite understand what Huo Nanxiao meant.

He has always cared deeply for Xia Wanwan and was unwilling to let her suffer any harm. What's wrong with him now? His words are clearly stabbing her in the heart.

Xia Ningxi curiously looked down at Xia Wanwan's face and, sure enough, saw that Xia Wanwan's eyes were red and she was about to cry.

"You guys are making a scene, should I leave?" Xia Ningxi asked.

Huo Nanxiao grasped her hand. "Where are you going? Have you forgotten why you came here today?"

“There’s a doctor on duty here, so it’s fine to have another doctor examine Xia Wanwan,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Huo Nanxiao stared at her dangerously, his eyes filled with intense displeasure.

Xia Ningxi smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything more.

Xia Wanwan belatedly realized what Huo Nanxiao meant, and forced a smile as she said to Xia Ningxi, "I'm sorry to trouble you so late. Please come and check for me."

She was very cooperative throughout.

After looking around, Xia Ningxi found that apart from being in a very bad mood, she didn't have any other problems.

To put it bluntly, the person she most wanted to see was Huo Nanxiao, not herself.

Xia Ningxi said to Huo Nanxiao, "She's fine, she just needs someone to keep her company. You can stay with her tonight."

"Since there's no problem, it means you can rest well on your own." Huo Nanxiao gazed at Xia Wanwan's fair face and said, "You can manage on your own, right?"

"Nan Xiao, I have something I want to talk to you about. Could you let Ning Xi go out first?" Xia Wanwan asked weakly.

Xia Ningxi consciously withdrew, but the other two personal nurses leaned close to the door to eavesdrop.

"Dr. Xia, she's talking about you," Nurse Xiao Mo said, quite surprised.

Xia Ningxi shrugged indifferently: "I know."

Xiao Mo: "I'm angry with you."

“I know that too.” Xia Ningxi nodded.

Xiao Mo: "It's so late, and you're showing up with President Huo. Aren't you going to make Xia Wanwan furious? Her health isn't good to begin with, and she's been crying almost every day lately, just waiting for Young Master Huo to come and see her."

"Do you think I wanted to come?" Xia Ningxi couldn't help but roll her eyes at Huo Nanxiao in the ward and whispered, "He forced me to come. Isn't it nice to sleep in at home late at night? I'm not out of my mind."

Xiao Mo stared at Xia Ningxi with a very strange look: "Is President Huo having second thoughts?"

"Regret what?" Xia Ningxi asked back.

Xiao Mo: "He regrets marrying Xia Wanwan. He must like you more, otherwise he wouldn't have brought you to Xia Wanwan. I think President Huo has already done more than enough for Xia Wanwan."

Xia Ningxi: "Hard to say."

Xiao Mo: "The news of what their family did has spread. I heard that Xia Wanwan's mother even tried to flee the country overnight, but was discovered and brought back by a kind person. A family of murderers, who would want to be associated with such people?"

Besides, Xia Wanwan isn't even that pretty; she's not some fairy descended from heaven. Why would President Huo be so hung up on her?

“That’s right, that’s right,” another nurse chimed in.

Xia Ningxi found it quite amusing, "You are all Xia Wanwan's personal nurses!"

"So what? Mr. Huo is paying, and we're taking care of Xia Wanwan. There's no conflict. It's no big deal if people talk about her. Everyone's talking about her family anyway, so we don't need to help them." The nurses didn't care at all.

They did their jobs well, and no one could do anything about it.

As for Xia Wanwan...

Everyone knows that she and Zhou Fenglin nearly ran over and killed Tang En and Xia Ningxi with their car.

Who in high society would do something so vicious?

Xia Wanwan not only ruined her reputation, but also dragged the Huo family down with her. The Huo family's stock market situation has been unclear recently, all thanks to them.

The nurse guessed that Huo Nanxiao brought Xia Ningxi here tonight because he wanted to break off his relationship with Xia Wanwan.

Xia Ningxi had absolutely no desire to get involved in their affairs.

She went downstairs, sat in front of the flowerbed, and lit a cigarette.

Huo Nanxiao stood upstairs and looked out the window, where he could see Xia Ningxi lighting a cigarette. His face darkened, and a surge of anger rose within him.

He had no idea that Xia Ningxi smoked. If Xia Ningxi hadn't been away from him, he would have put out the cigarette without hesitation.

Suppressing his anger, Huo Nanxiao looked away and said to Xia Wanwan on the hospital bed, "You shouldn't have come to me."

"Are you at her place tonight?" Xia Wanwan asked.

Huo Nanxiao: "Yes."

"Why didn't you lie to me?" Xia Wanwan's voice trembled.

Huo Nanxiao said, "There's no need."

"You know I'm petty. Even though I understand that you married me to make my life easier, you know my heart. I've always loved you." Her voice was hoarse, even trembling with tears.

Huo Nanxiao stared intently at her pale face and told her in the coldest tone, "I don't love you."
