Chapter 939 Divorce negotiations failed

Xia Wanwan's tears fell uncontrollably. After hearing Huo Yuan's accusation, her tears fell even more fiercely. She immediately denied it: "A Yuan, you don't understand. It was your father who promised me first. He said he would marry me, but he couldn't keep his promise."

“You didn’t keep your promise to Daddy either. Daddy married you because you were Daddy’s savior, but in the end, it turned out that you were not Daddy’s savior. You deceived Daddy, and you should bear this consequence.” Huo Yuan retorted.

Xia Wanwan said, "I've forgotten what happened back then. I didn't do it on purpose."

Xia Ningxi was amused by her words and said, "You could say that before the truth was revealed, but after Li Yancheng found the evidence, you still chose to marry Huo Nanxiao without hesitation. Since that's the case, you should bear all the consequences."

Seeing her crying so sadly, Xia Ningxi felt no sympathy whatsoever; this was the ending she had long anticipated.

Xia Ningxi knew that Xia Wanwan was desperate, otherwise she wouldn't have come to her for help. Xia Wanwan was such a proud person that she would only back down when her interests were seriously harmed.

I guess she couldn't reach an agreement with Huo Nanxiao, which is why she was so distraught.

Xia Ningxi didn't want to stab Xia Wanwan in the heart any further. She said, "You two should discuss this properly. It's not a good idea for Huo Nanxiao to stay with me all the time. Recently, a lot of paparazzi have been coming to take pictures of us, which affects everyone."

"Can I take that as you showing off?" Xia Wanwan asked.

Xia Ningxi: "That's fine if you want to think that way. I won't try to keep Huo Nanxiao, nor will I force him to divorce you. As for the rest, I can't control that. If you want to keep him, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

She got up and went back to her study.

Huo Yuan glanced at Xia Ningxi's departing figure, then at Xia Wanwan sitting on the sofa, tears streaming down her face. He gave her a tissue and obediently left.

Xingxing and Chuchu were already waiting for Huo Yuan outside the door with a soccer ball. The three little ones chased and played happily in the garden, their laughter echoing throughout every corner of the villa.

After finishing his phone call, Huo Nanxiao would interact with the children, sometimes casually grabbing one of them and lifting him high in the air, a smile he had never shown before on his handsome face.

Huo Nanxiao was very happy in this home.

However, if he returns to Xia Wanwan's home, Huo Nanxiao will revert to his cold and ruthless demeanor.

Xia Wanwan felt completely superfluous in this home.

When it was time for dinner, Xia Jingcheng returned. He was quite puzzled when he saw Xia Wanwan. He specifically asked Xia Ningxi and learned that Xia Wanwan had come to see Huo Nanxiao.

Xia Jingcheng was puzzled: "Why don't they resolve their own issues? What are they doing at our house? Don't tell me Xia Wanwan is planning to stay here too? Huo Nanxiao alone is infuriating enough."

"No, not at all," Xia Ningxi denied.

Xia Jingcheng: "Then why aren't they leaving?"

"I'd like to talk to Huo Nanxiao." Xia Ningxi came downstairs and called out to Huo Nanxiao, who was interacting with the child.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Xia Ningxi questioned.

Huo Nanxiao asked, "Where are we going?"

“Xia Wanwan has been here for an hour. You should take her home,” Xia Ningxi suggested.

Huo Nanxiao said unhappily, "She has a driver; she can leave whenever she wants."

"Didn't you realize she didn't want to go back by herself at all?" Xia Ningxi retorted.

Huo Nanxiao's gaze darkened: "I saw through you, but so what?"

"You two couldn't reach an agreement?" Xia Ningxi asked curiously.

Huo Nanxiao turned on the tap and silently watered the flowers and plants. "I've already given the Xia family enough."

"So you're planning to stay in my house? I don't agree." Xia Ningxi pointed to the door: "You two, leave together."

Huo Nanxiao remained completely still.

Xia Ning lost her temper: "Don't wait until I personally kick them out."

"Fine." Huo Nanxiao turned off the tap with dissatisfaction and walked back with a cold face.

A moment later, he led Xia Wanwan toward the door. Xia Wanwan looked very happy. Xia Ningxi ignored her and closed the door neatly after Huo Nanxiao's car drove away, enjoying her freedom.

"You're just going to let Xia Wanwan off so easily?" Xia Jingcheng teased deliberately.

Xia Ningxi said, "You still expect Xia Wanwan to live in our house?"

“I disagree,” Xia Jingcheng immediately refused.

Xia Ningxi said, "If Xia Wanwan can keep Huo Nanxiao, that will be a testament to her skill."

Xia Jingcheng said, "I think all she knows is to cry, make a scene, and threaten suicide. How can she possibly beg Huo Nanxiao? She can only cry and beg him not to divorce her. What kind of ability does a woman like that have?"

Xia Ningxi didn't speak again. She didn't want to discuss the matter, and she didn't want to respond to any scandals in the next few days, focusing all her energy on her work.

When the Ling family first heard that Huo Nanxiao wanted a divorce, they were very worried that Xia Ningxi would run away with the child, and that all the money they had spent would be wasted. But when they saw Xia Ningxi doing her best to treat Lin Jiangbei, they realized that they had been overthinking it.

While the scandals were making headlines, the Ling family chose to remain silent and helped Xia Ningxi resolve many problems, providing her with a very quiet working environment.

Xia Ningxi enjoyed a few days of leisurely life thanks to the Ling family's help, but just when she was about to forget Huo Nanxiao, she saw a news report about Xia Wanwan's suicide.

This news story dominated the front page of almost every major news outlet in China; it was reported in newspapers, on mobile phones, and on television.

As the second wife of the richest man in the capital city, Xia Wanwan has attracted a great deal of attention.

According to the news, the divorce proceedings between Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan were halfway through when Xia Wanwan suddenly couldn't bear the blow and jumped out of the car to commit suicide. After being stopped by others, she even tried to jump off the bridge across the river. A group of passersby worked together to stop her and save her.

The media went crazy with excitement, rushing to interview Xia Wanwan. They talked about something that made Xia Wanwan, who was already in poor health, faint on the spot and had to be taken to the hospital overnight.

Huo Nanxiao was worried that Xia Wanwan would do something foolish again, so he could only stay by her side.

But Huo Nanxiao forgot that he had promised to come to his house to teach the three children how to fold paper airplanes.

Huo Yuan, in particular, waited from day to night, and then until late at night, but Huo Nanxiao did not appear. He was still a child and did not know what had happened. He only knew that Huo Nanxiao had not kept his promise to him.

Distressed, Huo Yuan could only dial Huo Nanxiao's number repeatedly, and Huo Nanxiao finally answered after more than a dozen attempts.

"Daddy, aren't you coming to see me tonight?" Huo Yuan asked pitifully.

Huo Nanxiao's voice was a little hoarse: "Something came up here and I'll have to wait a while before I can come see you."

"What could be more important than coming home? Is Daddy spending time with someone else?" Huo Yuan was very sensitive.

Huo Nanxiao didn't want to lie to him. "Aunt Wanwan had an accident and is a little emotionally unstable. I'm trying to comfort her."

“She’s always like this, I don’t like her.” Huo Yuan said angrily.
