Xia Ningxi lay in a pool of blood after a difficult labor from her two-year marriage, completely forgetting that it was the day of his wedding to someone else.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Leave th...
Chapter 925 Last night, I spent the night at her house.
However, Xia Ningxi's words plunged Huo Nanxiao into another complicated situation. He asked very seriously, "What do you mean by danger? What dangers would you face if you removed a kidney?"
Xia Ningxi said, "It's hard to say anything now, but what's certain is that with one kidney missing, she won't live much longer if she doesn't take good care of herself."
"Understood." Huo Nanxiao's voice was very low.
Xia Ningxi: "If there's nothing else, I'll head back."
"I'll take you." Huo Nanxiao took her hand.
Xia Ningxi looked down, wanting to say something, but swallowed back the words that were about to come out.
It was late at night, and there were few cars on the road. The journey was smooth, and I got home quite early.
Once the car came to a complete stop, Xia Ningxi unbuckled her seatbelt. The car door was locked, and she tried to open it several times without success. She turned around and reminded Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao remained seated in the driver's seat.
"You're still planning to stay overnight?" Xia Ningxi asked sarcastically.
Huo Nanxiao grasped her hand. "That's fine too."
"I refuse." Xia Ningxi broke free without hesitation, turned to the side, pressed the unlock button, and quickly got out of the car.
Huo Nanxiao glanced at the time and decided not to go back to the company, so he simply stayed at Xia Ningxi's place to sleep.
The villa is very large. When Huo Nanxiao bought it, he reserved a guest room for himself, which was next to the master bedroom and very close to Xia Ningxi.
He didn't disturb Xia Ningxi's rest and spent the night in the guest room by himself.
The next day, I got up early and made a sumptuous breakfast, including many of Xia Ningxi's favorite dishes.
Xia Ningxi was somewhat surprised when she discovered that he was cooking, because Huo Nanxiao rarely spent time doing these things, and she always felt that Huo Nanxiao was so diligent for some other purpose.
She didn't ask, and Huo Nanxiao didn't say anything either.
After a peaceful morning, Xia Ningxi was too lazy to care about anything else. After packing her things, she prepared to take a taxi to work.
Huo Nanxiao called out to her, saying, "It's on my way, I'll give you a ride."
"Okay." Xia Ningxi did not refuse.
On her way back to the lab, Xia Ningxi was on the phone with Tang En.
Tang En said, "We're going to the Ling family's place tonight, and they specifically asked you to come along."
"What's it about?" Xia Ningxi asked curiously.
Don: "I'll talk to you when you get to the lab."
Xia Ningxi: "Okay."
She hung up the phone, checked the route, and saw that it was still ten minutes away, not too far. She took out her earphones and played a song.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "Are you going to the Ling family tonight?"
"Yes." Xia Ningxi did not deny it.
Huo Nanxiao: "It must be because of the Xia family's affairs. The Ling family must have asked for your opinions before taking action against Zhou Fenglin, and they would have taken your views into consideration before deciding on their next course of action."
"Perhaps," Xia Ningxi said calmly.
Huo Nanxiao: "Do you know what Wanwan said to me last night?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know." Xia Ningxi was uninterested.
Huo Nanxiao: "She wants to protect Zhou Fenglin and also wants to talk to you and Tang En about a settlement. The Xia family is willing to pay the money."
"You've come to plead for me?" Xia Ningxi raised an eyebrow, her whole body radiating intense dissatisfaction.
Huo Nanxiao's gaze sharpened slightly: "I hope you follow your heart."
"I will, thank you for the reminder, Mr. Huo."
Upon arriving at the lab entrance, Xia Ningxi slammed the car door and drove off without giving Huo Nanxiao a second glance.
Her colleagues found it quite strange that she was so angry.
"Who made you angry?" Ellie pressed.
Xia Ningxi: "Nobody."
Ellie: "Is that Huo Nanxiao? Did you come together?"
"I suppose so." Xia Ningxi glanced back at Huo Nanxiao, her anger intensifying. With a livid face, she went into her office.
As for Huo Nanxiao, he wanted to follow Xia Ningxi, but he was stopped and could only go to see Xia Wanwan.
However, he only glanced at the door and didn't go in, probably because he was afraid of being pestered by Xia Wanwan.
As Huo Nanxiao was leaving, he came face to face with Li Yancheng, who had rushed over. When he saw that Li Yancheng was carrying a large bag full of flowers, his face immediately darkened.
Li Yancheng also noticed Huo Nanxiao's unusual behavior and stopped in his tracks: "What a coincidence."
"Are you looking for Xia Ningxi?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Li Yancheng: "Who else could it be but her?"
"She doesn't have time to see you," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
Li Yancheng smiled and said, "Is that so? She probably just doesn't want to see you."
"Don't take yourself too seriously." Huo Nanxiao's voice was terrifyingly cold.
Li Yancheng: "After all these years, you still don't understand her. I bought a lot of flowers today, so I'll give you a chrysanthemum. I heard that Xia Wanwan lives here, so you shouldn't come empty-handed when you visit her."
Huo Nanxiao scoffed, "These flowers suit you better."
Li Yancheng snorted coldly, went directly to Ellie, and after finding out Xia Ningxi's address, took the flowers and headed to her office, silently arranging them in various places.
Before long, Xia Ningxi's office was decorated by Li Yancheng into a beautiful little flower room, attracting many colleagues to come and see.
Huo Nanxiao had trusted confidants in the laboratory, so he knew everything that happened there. After learning about Li Yancheng's actions, Huo Nanxiao was so angry that he laughed.
He never expected that someone as grown up as Li Yancheng could be so shameless.
Huo Nanxiao attended the morning meeting almost entirely in a fit of anger.
There were still quite a few people in the same conference room. The other senior executives all fled quickly after the meeting, but Ling Xiao and Ling Shuang did not leave.
Ling Shuang said sarcastically, "President Huo doesn't seem too happy today?"
"Li Yancheng went to find Xia Ningxi," Huo Nanxiao said calmly.
Ling Shuang glanced at her brother, and seeing that he remained unmoved, she smiled and said, "That's good news. President Li also has a collaboration with the Ling family."
"It seems you have a high tolerance level," Huo Nanxiao said with a light laugh.
Ling Shuang smiled and said, "It's different. Xia Ningxi and my older brother got their marriage certificate, and their child is registered in the Ling family's household registration. To be honest, even if Li Yancheng tries his best, he would have to be inferior to my older brother."
Besides, the children all belong to our Ling family. As long as my elder brother doesn't ask, no one can take them away. If Li Yancheng likes to fawn over us, let him. It's harmless.
At this point, Ling Shuang paused, then smiled and asked, "Has Mrs. Huo recovered recently? I heard she was the most seriously injured in the car accident and even had a kidney removed."
I had heard from domestic experts before that she had difficulty conceiving, and now, given her current situation, it will probably be even more difficult for her to get pregnant. Mr. Huo, you are truly kind-hearted; only you could be so understanding of her.
These words were no different from stabbing Huo Nanxiao in the heart.
Huo Nanxiao sneered: "The Ling family is indeed generous. Since they are so generous, they probably don't mind me staying with Xia Ningxi. I spent the night at her house last night."
Ling Xiao's eyes flickered; he realized that Huo Nanxiao was showing off!
