Chapter 975 He's already climbed into bed, why is he still watching the show?

Xia Ningxi wasn't that free.

Although she maintained contact with Huo Nanxiao, she was well aware that she was only Huo Nanxiao's ex-wife, and he was only the father of her child. There was no other relationship between them.

The one who should be jumping up and down now is Xia Wanwan. She is Huo Nanxiao's wife in name only. Xia Luoluo's child poses no threat to Xia Ningxi, but it can threaten Xia Wanwan.

Having seen through all of this, why would Xia Ningxi want to get herself involved? She's not just doing this for no reason.

Seeing that Fu Mingyan was still jumping up and down, Xia Ningxi kindly reminded her, "You are also an outsider, this matter has little to do with you. If I were you, I would just watch the show."

"What show are you going to watch? Xia Luoluo has already climbed into Brother Nan Xiao's bed, how am I supposed to watch a show!" Fu Mingyan questioned.

Xia Ningxi said, "Isn't there Xia Wanwan? She really likes Huo Nanxiao. Her own sister stole her husband. No matter how magnanimous she is, she can't hold back this time. Guess what the situation is between these two sisters now? Have they already started fighting?"

"That's right!" Fu Mingyan slapped her thigh suddenly: "How come I didn't think of that? Now is the best time to go to Yin Yang Xia Wanwan. She is good at pretending to be weak. Not only does Brother Nan Xiao pity her, but even my brother treats her very well. This time, I want to see what she can do!"

"Thank you for reminding me. I'll go find Xia Wanwan now and give her a good beating. She made me lose face so badly last time, I definitely won't let her off so easily this time."

Miss Fu thanked her hurriedly and turned to leave.

"Stop!" Xia Ningxi called out to her immediately.

Fu Mingyan asked, puzzled, "Is there anything else you need to tell me?"

"Are you just going to go like this?" Xia Ningxi asked.

Fu Mingyan slapped her forehead. "Yes, it was inappropriate to use the banner that insulted Xia Luoluo on Xia Wanwan. I'll have someone make a banner specifically for Xia Wanwan right now. I guarantee she'll be so angry she won't be able to sleep for three days and three nights."

Xia Ningxi was speechless and choked up, not knowing what to say to Fu Mingyan for a moment. But for the sake of the Fu family's reputation, she couldn't help but add, "I suggest you behave yourself recently and don't provoke the Xia family."

"Why?" Fu Mingyan didn't understand.

Xia Ningxi said, "You have no relation to the Xia family. Taking advantage of their misfortune at this time will only make outsiders think that you are abusing your power and will inevitably lead to gossip about you. Meanwhile, the Xia family can take advantage of your bullying of them and play the victim. Wouldn't that make them seem very weak and innocent? It's possible that those who were criticizing Xia Wanwan and her sister will eventually turn around and criticize you."

“Oh right, how come I didn’t think of that?” Fu Mingyan smacked her forehead hard, then belatedly gave Xia Ningxi a thumbs up: “You’re amazing, you can think of the problem so clearly.”

Xia Ningxi said, "If you have nothing to do, go on vacation or travel. You've made things so ugly, I bet your brother is very unhappy."

"My brother's brain is fried. He's been protecting Xia Wanwan the whole time. I don't know what he's thinking," Fu Mingyan couldn't help but complain.

Xia Ningxi smiled, did not tell her the truth, and carried the gifts she had bought into the Huo family's old mansion.

Fu Mingyan wanted to see Huo Nanxiao and also complain about Xia Luoluo, but Huo Nanxiao refused to see her. She could only obediently play with the children on the first floor, but she was very depressed and kept urging Xia Ningxi to go and complain to Huo Nanxiao.

Frustrated by the urging, Xia Ningxi reluctantly went upstairs.

Pushing open the study door, she saw Huo Nanxiao sitting inside working, looking very serious. Not wanting to disturb him, she subconsciously stepped back out.

"Where are you going?" Huo Nanxiao recognized the person without even looking up.

Xia Ningxi said, "Fu Mingyan is looking for you."

"I won't see you." Huo Nanxiao's attitude was extremely cold.

"Okay." Xia Ningxi wanted to sneak away.

Huo Nanxiao raised his head, his cold gaze fixed on her stunning face. "Come here."

Xia Ningxi pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down, looking at him with a leisurely air.

"How badly did she cause trouble?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi said, "They went to the Xia family's house and put up banners. Xia Luoluo was so angry that she started cursing in the group chat. Seeing her like that, I also want to go to Xia Wanwan's place and put up banners."

"Understood," Huo Nanxiao replied casually, and continued working.

Xia Ningxi asked curiously, "Aren't you going to do anything about it? You know Fu Mingyan's personality perfectly well. She won't stay still for long. Who knows, she's probably already on her way to mock Xia Wanwan. Xia Wanwan isn't in good health. Aren't you afraid she'll drive her crazy?"

"If Wanwan were really that fragile, she would have been driven to death by Xia Luoluo long ago. Why would she have waited until now?" Huo Nanxiao said coldly.

His attitude towards Xia Wanwan was becoming increasingly cold.

Xia Ningxi was quite puzzled. She had never quite understood Huo Nanxiao's feelings for Xia Wanwan. It was absolutely impossible for him to have no feelings for Xia Wanwan at all, but his current attitude seemed somewhat indifferent.

“She is your wife, and I think you should spend some time comforting her,” Xia Ningxi said.

Huo Nanxiao: "I will divorce her."

“She won’t agree,” Xia Ningxi replied.

Huo Nanxiao: "She has no choice but to agree."

Xia Ningxi said, "Actually, Xia Wanwan is a good person. At least she is devoted to you. Even after such a big thing happened, she didn't blame you. Instead, she stood by your side. There are very few people who are so good to you. You should cherish her."

That heartfelt remark displeased Huo Nanxiao. With a loud bang, he shoved the computer away, his dark eyes flashing with an incomparably sharp, cold light.

Xia Ningxi felt uncomfortable under his gaze and immediately changed the subject, "You go ahead with your work, I won't bother you anymore."

"Where are you going?" Huo Nanxiao asked, taking her hand in his.

Xia Ningxi said, "The child is still waiting for me downstairs."

“They have plenty of people with them, what are you afraid of?” Huo Nanxiao asked again.

Xia Ningxi: "I'm not afraid, I just don't want to bother you."

"Since you're already here, why bother me?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.

Xia Ningxi stared at the hand Huo Nanxiao was holding, struggling several times but unable to break free. She simply stopped talking, not knowing what to say to Huo Nanxiao.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward when the two were alone together.

Perhaps because Huo Nanxiao was already married, Xia Ningxi deliberately kept her distance from him. Sensing the ambiguous atmosphere, she immediately reminded him, "I should go. It's not good to be alone with you all the time."

"Afraid I'll do you a disservice?" Huo Nanxiao chuckled, his words laced with mockery.

Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at him: "You have to have the ability to do it."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Huo Nanxiao pulled her into his arms. Xia Ningxi bumped solidly into his chest, and by the time she realized what was happening and tried to escape, she was already trapped in Huo Nanxiao's embrace.

Her ears burned, and she questioned Huo Nanxiao with displeasure, "What are you doing?"

"Help me tidy up the table." Huo Nanxiao glanced at the messy documents on the desk.

He was so busy with work that he didn't bother to sort the files properly.

Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at him but didn't move.

Huo Nanxiao pinched her cheek, "Not happy?"

"You can do this little thing yourself, why make me do it?" Xia Ningxi retorted.

Huo Nanxiao's hand caressed her fair cheek, his deep eyes unfathomable, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
