Chapter 935 He still knows I'm remarried

These three grandchildren are Huo Xiuyuan's bottom line. As long as it's for the good of the children, Huo Xiuyuan will agree to anything.

However, the Ling family's conditions were similar to the Huo family's. They could raise their three children well on their own, so there was no need for others to raise them for them.

At first, Huo Xiuyuan thought that the Ling family had a big problem with Xia Ningxi. After all, Ling Xiao was a young man who was getting married for the first time and suddenly had three children under his name, none of whom were his biological children. A large family like the Ling family would definitely have a big problem with Xia Ningxi.

Even if Ling Xiao likes Xia Ningxi, this matter absolutely cannot be suppressed.

But now things are different. Cao Xiuxian doesn't care about Xia Ningxi's past at all and even wants to fight the Huo family for the child. They now have all the advantages. Even if Huo Xiuyuan is the child's biological grandfather, he can't do anything to the Ling family.

Thinking of this, Huo Xiuyuan instructed Huo Nanxiao in a very serious tone: "Take some time to talk to Ling Xiao and ask him to cooperate with you to transfer all the children's household registrations to the Huo family. The children are already so old, it's not right for them to keep following someone else's household registration."

“Ling Xiao will not cooperate,” Huo Nanxiao replied.

Huo Xiuyuan said angrily, "You haven't even looked for him, how do you know he can't do it? I think you clearly just don't want to do it."

Huo Nanxiao said, "I approached Ling Xiao before and offered him very generous terms, but he didn't agree. This matter still depends on Ning Xi's decision."

"Then you should find a way to get her to take the children back to the Huo family. They are your own children. Do you really want to just watch them be taken away by someone else?" Huo Xiuyuan questioned.

Huo Nanxiao: "Understood."

He didn't say anything more.

Huo Xiuyuan knew that he was definitely worried about Xia Wanwan. He was burning with anger and wanted to beat up his blind son, but he was afraid that the noise would wake up the children and let them learn from him.

He could only suppress his temper and glare fiercely at Huo Nanxiao: "Don't do anything stupid anymore. You have no chance. If you can't find a way to reconcile with Ning Xi this time, you can expect to spend the rest of your life with that scumbag con woman!"

Huo Nanxiao's face was gloomy.

"How dare you be unhappy?" Huo Xiuyuan slammed his fist on the table in anger.

Just then, Xia Ningxi came out carrying several glasses of freshly squeezed juice. She was startled by Huo Xiuyuan's sudden slam on the table. Fortunately, she had a steady hand and placed the juice on the table before asking, "Dad, who made you unhappy?"

Huo Xiuyuan glared at Huo Nanxiao and replied, "Who else could it be but him?"

Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "Just treat him like he's invisible."

Huo Xiuyuan smiled with satisfaction: "You're so smart. He really is no different from a child in this family. If it weren't for the fact that the children are still young and need their father, I would definitely kick him out."

Xia Ningxi sensed a hidden meaning in his words and didn't respond.

But Huo Xiuyuan seized the opportunity and asked her, "Ning Xi, you've been in Lingcheng for a while now. I heard your lab has produced quite a few good results. Why don't you go back to the capital after Lin Jiangbei recovers? Lingcheng isn't some international metropolis; it's not as comfortable as the capital."

"Dad, I can't leave my work here for a while," Xia Ningxi replied.

Huo Xiuyuan: "I know you're busy, but you can't compromise no matter how busy you are. Your children will be five years old soon, right? They'll be starting elementary school in a year, and they'll need family members to take care of them then. With so many things to do, how can you manage to take care of them all?"

"Don't worry, Dad. I'll have plenty of time after I finish this project. Besides, my brother will help me. All three kids are very well-behaved, so I can handle it."

Xia Ningxi's answer was watertight, but she didn't actually want to follow up on what Huo Xiuyuan was saying. She knew that Huo Xiuyuan wanted to take the three children back to the capital, but he didn't dare to say it directly because of his status as an elder.

When it comes to raising children, only their biological parents have the final say.

The custody of the three children is in Xia Ningxi's hands, and the future of the children is naturally for Xia Ningxi to decide. Even if Huo Xiuyuan is the one who decides for Xia Ningxi, he has no right to make decisions for her.

Huo Xiuyuan was well aware of this. Unable to get what he wanted, he could only vent all his anger on Huo Nanxiao, looking at him as if he wanted to kill him.

Huo Nanxiao remained calm, silently drinking the juice that Xia Ningxi had squeezed herself, and even praised her, "Your skills are getting better and better."

Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at him and said in a low voice, "Aren't you going to work yet?"

"I told you, I'm taking a break today and will keep you company." Huo Nanxiao held her hand.

Xia Ningxi trembled and subconsciously pulled her hand back, but Huo Nanxiao held her tightly, not allowing her to struggle at all. She dared not make any big movements, afraid that Huo Xiuyuan would think they were flirting, so she silently swallowed her anger.

The elderly couple, who initially had a strong dislike for Huo Nanxiao, noticed a flicker in their eyes after he held Xia Ningxi's hand. They then exchanged a smile, made an excuse, and left.

Huo Nanxiao was finally out of the crisis, and he had been ridiculed by his parents quite a bit that morning.

"Don't use me as a shield anymore." Xia Ningxi pulled her hand away without hesitation.

Huo Nanxiao smiled and said, "I didn't."

Xia Ningxi said, "It's impossible for us to get back together. You don't need to pretend in front of your parents that you still have feelings for me, which only gives them false hope. Since we're divorced, we should cut ties completely. You know I don't want your family to come here. In a few days, I'll be staying in the lab to work overtime, and I'll bring the kids with me."

She wasn't stupid; she had already seen through what Huo Xiuyuan wanted to do.

All Huo Xiuyuan wanted was custody of his grandchildren; a man like him would never allow his children to become someone else's children.

But Huo Xiuyuan simply liked these children, and everything was fine. Xia Ningxi wouldn't let the children sever ties with their grandparents; on the contrary, she would even make sure the children were filial to them. But...

If Huo Xiuyuan hopes that Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao can reconcile and return to the capital with the children, it won't be that easy.

Xia Ningxi didn't want to go back and compete with Xia Wanwan either; it was too boring. She'd rather spend that time in the research lab working on her new drug.

"It's getting late. Go upstairs and wake the kids. You can take them and your parents out for a good time today, and see all the fun places in Lingcheng. I won't come with you." Xia Ningxi packed her things.

Huo Nanxiao asked, displeased, "What do you want?"

"Yes, there's a meeting today, and Tang En invited me to go with him," Xia Ningxi replied truthfully.

Huo Nanxiao said, "He went to great lengths to find opportunities to be with you."

Xia Ningxi raised an eyebrow: "So what?"

"He didn't know you were married?" Huo Nanxiao questioned.

Xia Ningxi snorted coldly: "He not only knows, but he also knows I'm remarried, but that has nothing to do with President Huo!"
