Chapter 944 You're the one I've been looking for

Ling Xiao gazed into Xia Ningxi's bright eyes and said, "You are excellent. You will only be better off without him. Besides Huo Nanxiao, you have many other choices."

"Like you?" Xia Ningxi raised her beautiful eyebrows.

Ling Xiao smiled: "Am I not better than him?"

“The Ling family’s market value seems to be lower than the Huo family’s,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Ling Xiao said, "Unlike him, I'm not surrounded by a bunch of messy women. Actually, living with me is not bad. I can give you absolute freedom. If you don't want to work anymore, the Ling family can also give you enough money to ensure you have enough to eat and wear for the rest of your life."

He offered very good terms.

Xia Ningxi asked, "What's the price?"

“No price to pay,” Ling Xiao replied.

Xia Ningxi shook her head: "I don't believe that anyone would give me everything for no reason."

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "If you are willing, you can contribute the experimental results to the Ling family to help them enter the pharmaceutical industry."

Xia Ningxi said, "You have plenty of money, so finding a group of excellent research teams shouldn't be difficult."

“But there’s only one Tang En in the world, and only one you. Your team is top-notch both domestically and internationally. Even if the Ling family is rich, they couldn’t assemble such a luxurious team,” Ling Xiao replied.

Xia Ningxi said, "What you said doesn't make any sense either."

Ling Xiao: "Then could you consider my suggestion?"

"I won't consider it." Xia Ningxi refused decisively.

"Why?" Ling Xiao pressed.

Xia Ningxi said, "I already have three children and don't plan to have any more."

"cough--"

The man, who had been so charming just a moment ago, suddenly started coughing violently, and a strange flush appeared on his handsome face.

“I never intended for you to have the baby,” he explained immediately.

Xia Ningxi said, "You are the eldest son of the Ling family. Even if the Ling family can accept my three children, they absolutely cannot accept that you don't have any biological children. Your mother must really want you to have your own children. If I keep occupying your status as your wife, she will definitely urge you to have children. What will you do then?"

Ling Xiao's face was serious: "You've stumped me."

Xia Ningxi curled her lips: "See? You don't even know what to do yourself, yet you ask me to live with you. Isn't that just being a scoundrel?"

“Indeed.” Ling Xiao smiled helplessly and said, “My mother is indeed quite troublesome. She really wants to have a grandson, I don’t deny that, but I will try to persuade her.”

Xia Ningxi asked in surprise, "What should I tell her?"

“I advised her not to care about blood relations. In fact, as long as my mother is open-minded, she will treat your three children well. Most importantly, my mother likes children, and Huo Yuan and the others are really cute. I believe they will definitely win the elders’ favor.” Ling Xiao replied very seriously.

These words made Xia Ningxi laugh.

She initially thought Ling Xiao was joking, but when she met his bright, shining eyes and saw the sincerity in them, Xia Ningxi was stunned for a few seconds. She realized he was serious.

Xia Ningxi said, "Instead of thinking about how to fulfill your mother's wish, you persuade her to accept a child who has no blood relation to you. I really doubt whether you are Cao Xiuxian's biological child."

Ling Xiao showed no anger: "At our level, whether someone is biologically related or not is no longer important. Whoever can bring benefits to the family is the most important."

Xia Ningxi shook her head: "But many large families don't think that way. They hope to have their own children to inherit their vast wealth. The Ling family is extremely wealthy, and such a large enterprise needs someone to take over. Your mother won't agree to that."

Ling Xiao said, "Whether she agrees is a question for me to consider. What I need to ask now is whether you are willing to stay in the Ling family."

"Not considering it."

Xia Ningxi's answer remained firm.

The two sides failed to reach an agreement on this matter. Ling Xiao smiled and did not press Xia Ningxi any further. He said, "I respect your decision. If you still can't accept me now, it's okay to wait a little longer."

The sun was setting, and the last rays of sunlight fell on Xia Ningxi, making her already beautiful face even more stunning.

Ling Xiao's eyes held admiration: "You are excellent and clear-headed. No matter who you choose, you won't cause trouble for them. If you change your mind one day, you can come to me anytime."

Xia Ningxi smiled and gladly accepted his praise.

The two left the hospital together.

To express his gratitude, Ling Xiao specially invited Xia Ningxi to his friend's birthday party.

At the banquet, he generously introduced Xia Ningxi's identity.

People of high standing in Lingcheng had all heard about Ling Xiao's marriage, and those who knew the Ling family also knew that Lin Jiangbei was being treated by Xia Ningxi. Regardless of the reason, they all treated Xia Ningxi with utmost respect, and even if they disliked her, they would never show it.

Xia Ningxi got a free meal at the birthday party and even ate some cake, which dispelled the gloom in her heart.

She was quite grateful to Ling Xiao, because at least after the news that Huo Nanxiao did not intend to divorce her spread, Ling Xiao did not laugh at her, but instead stood up for her.

Unlike some media outlets that love to stir up trouble, they almost broke Xia Ningxi's phone, trying to get some unpleasant things out of her.

She hadn't had a drink in so long that she got tipsy after just a little. She leaned wearily against the sofa, curled up in a corner, looking quite content.

Just as Xia Ningxi was about to fall asleep, she saw a familiar face and struggled to open her eyes.

"Dr. Xia, it's been a long time."

Han Youling, holding a glass of red wine, greeted them with a smile.

Xia Ningxi regained some of her senses. "Why is Miss Han here?"

Han Youling said, "I knew you were here, so I came here specifically to find you."

Xia Ningxi asked seriously, "What do you want with me?"

"I'm asking about something." Han Youling said with a smile in her eyes.

Xia Ningxi said, "You've got the wrong person."

“I haven’t come to the wrong person. I’ve been looking for you. I heard that Li Yancheng’s sister died because of Huo Nanxiao. You were there when she died. Huo Nanxiao killed her, right?” Han Youling deliberately guided the conversation.

Xia Ningxi denied it: "No."

Han Youling said, "Since I dared to ask this, it proves I have substantial evidence. I can prove that Huo Nanxiao was the one who killed him. However, we need a witness now. Huo Nanxiao has been playing you like a monkey. Don't you want to get revenge on him?"

"Xia Ningxi, all you need to do is nod, and you can get revenge on everyone who has hurt you, including Huo Nanxiao and the third party who destroyed your marriage. Cooperate with me."

She gently brought the red wine to Xia Ningxi's lips, her beautiful eyes full of calculation.
