Chapter 926 Mommy's on a Date

How ridiculous! What does Huo Nanxiao have to brag about?

He can't handle all his messy affairs, and there's also the huge problem of Xia Wanwan. Even if Xia Ningxi still has feelings for him, it's impossible for them to get back together unless Xia Wanwan disappears completely.

Therefore, no matter what Huo Nanxiao said, Ling Xiao remained calm.

"Since Mr. Huo doesn't care about making these things public, I can have my men remind your wife every day. After all, she is seriously injured and her husband can't be by her bedside. It's always good for her to hear more news about you."

Ling Xiao smiled.

Ling Shuang, who was standing to the side, almost burst out laughing!

Ling Shuang naturally stood on her brother's side, her face full of smiles: "We are well aware that President Huo misses his child, and the Ling family will not interfere with Xia Ningxi's words and actions."

Someone as outstanding as her would naturally have no shortage of excellent suitors; having one or two more wouldn't be unusual. The Ling family chose her because she would be of immense help to them. As for those other women, they're unimportant.

Ling Xiao's lips curled up. "Thanks to President Huo's generosity and righteousness, if you hadn't gotten divorced, this kind of good thing wouldn't have come to the Ling family. And thanks to you, the Ling family has been able to establish a relationship with Tang En and reach a higher level."

Huo Nanxiao had basically paved the way for this.

The Ling family is riding high on Huo Nanxiao's coattails.

As long as he doesn't divorce Xia Ningxi, Ling Xiao can contribute data from their lab. Isn't that a great thing?

"President Huo, the meeting is over, and we should be leaving now. It was a pleasure working with you." Ling Xiao was very calm, even displaying the demeanor of a victor.

Ling Shuang also smiled as she bid farewell to Huo Nanxiao, and they left together.

Huo Nanxiao's temples throbbed with anger.

He leaned back wearily in his chair. Ye Su, who came in to bring tea, was very careful and dared not utter a sound, for fear of offending Huo Nanxiao.

"Prepare the car," Huo Nanxiao suddenly said.

Ye Su asked in confusion, "Where is the president going?"

"The children should be out of school by now, right?" Huo Nanxiao asked slowly.

Ye Su glanced at the time and said, "Logically, class should be over by now, but they take a nap at kindergarten at noon and don't go home. Even if the president goes there now, he probably won't be able to see the children."

Huo Nanxiao looked displeased.

Ye Su immediately added, "Kindergarten ends at five in the evening, so the president can go at four and buy some snacks that the children like."

"Alright." Huo Nanxiao was somewhat satisfied, but then, remembering that Li Yancheng was still with Xia Ningxi, he asked, "What's the situation at the lab? Are there still any unauthorized personnel there?"

Ye Su: "Young Master Li didn't leave. I heard that he thoughtfully prepared a sumptuous lunch and flowers for all the colleagues in the lab. It is said that it cost a lot of money."

"Heh." Huo Nanxiao scoffed disdainfully.

Ye Su felt that his aura was even more frightening, so she didn't dare to say anything and remained silent to the side.

In the afternoon, Huo Nanxiao left work early and specially went to select some snacks that the children liked, so he could pick them up from kindergarten on time.

The three children were not happy when they saw Huo Nanxiao. They looked around for Xia Jingcheng but saw nothing.

"No need to look, Xia Jingcheng is busy today, I will pick you up and take you home."

Huo Nanxiao interrupted their thoughts.

Xingxing was wary: "Why is it you? Where is Uncle? Uncle is always the one who picks us up and drops us off."

"He's having some work problems and is busy right now, so he doesn't have time," Huo Nanxiao replied truthfully.

Xingxing asked astutely, "Did Daddy create this problem for him?"

Huo Nanxiao: "More or less."

Xingxing: "Forget it, I won't stoop to your level, you treacherous adult."

The little guy was still angry, but he obediently got into the car. He knew that Huo Nanxiao wouldn't let them go home by themselves once he arrived, especially since Ye Su was carrying two large bags of snacks in the back. There was no need for him to be angry with Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Yuan and Chu Chu saw Xingxing get into the car and quickly followed.

The three little devils showed no kindness to Huo Nanxiao, but they were all smiles and greetings to Ye Su.

"These are snacks that President Huo bought for you," Ye Su reminded you with a smile.

Chu Chu immediately accepted it: "Thank you, Aunt Ye."

Xingxing: "Aunt Ye is the best."

Huo Yuan: "Thank you."

Ye Su felt even more embarrassed. She was too ashamed to look at Huo Nanxiao's face. She could tell he was sulking without even looking, since the children hadn't thanked him at all, even though it was all bought with his money.

"No need to thank me, this was all prepared for you by the president. He knew you must be starving after school, so he specially went out to buy lots of snacks and cakes, and even brought a toy for each of you." Ye Su quickly attributed all the credit to Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Yuan glanced at his younger siblings silently. The two little ones lowered their heads and ate their snacks with gusto. He quickly lowered his head as well and ignored them!

No one greeted Huo Nanxiao, and on the way home, they acted as if Huo Nanxiao didn't exist. The three little ones laid out all the snacks on the small table and happily enjoyed the sumptuous feast, even sharing some with Ye Su and the driver, but Huo Nanxiao didn't get any.

The driver and Ye Su were so embarrassed that they didn't dare to speak.

They didn't dare to offend Huo Nanxiao, but the three little ones were really cute and were so enthusiastic in giving them all kinds of delicious food, how could they refuse?

The driver and Ye Su both chose to ignore Huo Nanxiao, neither daring to look at his gloomy, dark face.

They arrived home quickly, and the three little ones waved enthusiastically to the driver and Ye Su, inviting them in for a chat.

The driver dared not go in; he stayed obediently outside.

As for Ye Su, she did have a lot to report to Huo Nanxiao, but they were all work-related and not important.

No one was home today, and Xia Ningxi didn't come back either.

Huo Nanxiao counted the time, but his brows furrowed more and more. Logically speaking, Xia Ningxi should have been home by now. What had delayed her?

Could it be...?

"Xingxing, call your mom and ask when you're coming home," Huo Nanxiao said.

Xingxing tilted her head: "Daddy has a cell phone too, so Daddy can call Mommy himself."

"I'm busy," Huo Nanxiao immediately denied.

Xingxing snorted, "But you don't seem busy at all."

Huo Nanxiao said, "You don't want to see her?"

“Daddy, just say you want to see Mommy. Why beat around the bush? I can see right through you. I know what you’re up to. You just want me to play the victim and trick Mommy into coming back.”

Xingxing is very clever and saw through Huo Nanxiao's thoughts at a glance. Similarly, he also received news today that Li Yancheng went to see Xia Ningxi.

Xingxing: "Daddy, Mommy should be on a date with Uncle Li at this time. We'd better not disturb her."
