Chapter 986 If you want to remarry, you have to tell me.

Lin Jiangbei teased her cheekily, "I heard your ex-husband is going to take another concubine? He's quite something, isn't he? Others wouldn't have this ability."

"Are you envious?" Xia Ningxi asked in return.

Lin Jiangbei: "I'm not envious. I just think he's amazing, and he has great taste. I wouldn't dare to flirt with two people at the same time. President Huo is different. He married the older sister and got the younger sister pregnant. It's all over the place. I wonder what he's thinking right now. Is he planning to marry them both?"

Xia Ningxi said, "It's rare to see you in such good spirits. Why don't you go downstairs and stretch your legs? I'll have someone come and pick you up."

"Where are you going? I haven't finished speaking, why are you running away? Do you still like Huo Nanxiao? I think you should live a good life with my brother. Only my brother can give you the stable life you want. If you remarry Huo Nanxiao, that illegitimate child will be clinging to him every day. Won't you feel jealous?" Lin Jiangbei asked.

Xia Ningxi shrugged indifferently: "What does this have to do with me?"

"Yes, this is your ex-husband," Lin Jiangbei said seriously.

Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at him.

Lin Jiangbei: "It seems you're not planning to remarry Huo Nanxiao? In that case, why not settle down with my older brother? He's great in every way, and most importantly, he's rich. Don't you find someone this outstanding?"

"My heart is fluttering," Xia Ningxi echoed.

Lin Jiangbei said, "Why do I feel like you're just giving me the runaround?"

"It seems you've recovered remarkably well; we could actually tell. All our careful care these past few days has paid off." Xia Ningxi praised him highly.

Lin Jiangbei: "Are you trying to frame me? I'm sick, not brain-dead. Anyone can see there's something fishy about your relationship with Huo Nanxiao."

“Mm.” Xia Ningxi did not refute.

Lin Jiangbei: "He's already infamous, and he'll have a new child soon. If I were you, I would have cut off all contact with Huo Nanxiao."

“You’re right,” Xia Ningxi nodded.

Lin Jiangbei: "Why are you just listening without offering any opinions?"

"What can I say? What do you want me to say? You're a patient, yet you want to pry into a doctor's private affairs. You're too idle!" Xia Ningxi complained.

Lin Jiangbei: "We're all family, how can this be considered your private matter? I call you sister-in-law, so I should inquire about your preferences. If you don't like my brother or look down on him, he can change. We can't give him no chance at all, can we? Huo Nanxiao isn't a good person either, there's no need to keep waiting for him."

Xia Ningxi: "Lie down, I'm going to give you acupuncture."

"Damn it, it hurts so much! Are you deliberately getting back at me?" Lin Jiangbei yelled in pain.

His screams probably attracted the attention of the bodyguards outside. The two bodyguards quickly pushed open the door to the ward, saw that Lin Jiangbei was lying on the hospital bed and was not in any good condition, so they withdrew.

Xia Ningxi smiled slightly: "Take good care of yourself and watch what you say."

"You're so mean!" Lin Jiangbei gritted his teeth.

Xia Ningxi stared at the syringe in his hand and said, "Don't get angry, you still have a needle in your hand."

"I'm going to tell my older brother, I'm going to complain to him about you. You've been so disrespectful to me lately, is that how a doctor should behave?" Lin Jiangbei put on the airs of a spoiled young master.

"Go ahead and complain if you want. There's no need to tell me. I won't listen anyway. At worst, I'll just pack my bags and leave. But whether Tang En's team will follow me is another matter," Xia Ningxi said with a smile.

Lin Jiangbei's face darkened: "Are you threatening me?"

"I was just trying to be helpful, how could it be a threat?" Xia Ningxi laughed.

Lin Jiangbei said, "I know that Tang En only came to Lingcheng because of you. You are threatening me."

"There's nothing I can do if that's what you think," Xia Ningxi said calmly.

Lin Jiangbei snorted in dissatisfaction: "I'm going to tell my older brother about this. He'll be furious, and the consequences of his anger will be severe. You'd better watch out!"

"Okay, I understand. And then?" Xia Ningxi asked in return.

Lin Jiangbei gritted his teeth: "I'll remember you!"

"Take good care of yourself and follow your doctor's advice," Xia Ningxi said.

"Hmph." Lin Jiangbei snapped.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside. Lin Jiangbei spotted Ling Xiao immediately. He was overjoyed and quickly complained, "Big brother, big brother, Xia Ningxi bullied me! He bullied me!"

"How did he bully you?" Ling Xiao asked back.

Lin Jiangbei said, "She threatened to quit her job."

"Is quitting your job a threat to you?" Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

Lin Jiangbei said, "Everyone in the world knows that Tang En only came to Lingcheng because of her. Now that she has resigned, Tang En will definitely leave."

"Since you know that, why did you still dare to argue with her?" Ling Xiao retorted.

Lin Jiangbei's lips twitched; he was angry: "Big brother is targeting me."

“I’m reminding you to see the facts clearly and not to bully others just because you have a prominent family background,” Ling Xiao replied.

Lin Jiangbei: "My brother sides with her, not me. How did I bully her? I just wanted to find out about her and Huo Nanxiao, and she got angry and wanted to quit. She is my sister-in-law, after all. As her brother, can't I ask her about it?"

Ling Xiao said, "My marriage to her was based on self-interest from beginning to end. You just need to respect her as you would your sister-in-law. You don't need to worry about anything else."

"I know." Lin Jiangbei was so scolded that he almost cried.

Ling Xiao completely ignored his aggrieved look and said to Xia Ningxi, "Jiang Bei is spoiled by his family. You don't need to pay attention to him. If he makes excessive demands or makes you unhappy, just tell me and I will handle him."

"Big brother, I'm your real brother." Lin Jiangbei's face fell. He couldn't understand why Ling Xiao was so protective of Xia Ningxi.

Since Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao are still entangled, Ling Xiao, as Xia Ningxi's husband, has the right to ask Xia Ningxi for an explanation.

Just because Ling Xiao didn't do that doesn't mean Xia Ningxi doesn't need to give an explanation.

"Focus on getting better and don't meddle in things that don't concern you," Ling Xiao scolded.

Lin Jiangbei pouted in dissatisfaction, "I know, I won't say anything about her, okay?"

Ling Xiao ignored him and said to Xia Ningxi, "Come out with me."

"Okay." Xia Ningxi followed him out.

With no one around, Ling Xiao asked, "What are your plans to do about Huo Nanxiao's matter?"

"It has nothing to do with me, so why should I handle it?" Xia Ningxi retorted.

Ling Xiao said, "I heard he wants to get a divorce and remarry you. If you want to remarry, you must tell me in advance."
