Chapter 987 She's no longer the white moonlight.

“I know,” Xia Ningxi said calmly.

Ling Xiao chuckled: "I thought you would deny it at first glance, but this is an outright admission?"

"Whether it's bigamy or not isn't important, but we'll definitely get a divorce. I know you're under pressure, but you'll meet someone you like sooner or later, and when we get divorced, my affairs won't affect you," Xia Ningxi said calmly.

Ling Xiao said, "I don't want a divorce. I think there are many benefits to marrying you, which is better than remarrying. It's not easy for me to find someone as outstanding as you now. Most importantly, Tang En is only willing to cooperate with the Ling family because of you."

“As long as you offer enough benefits, Tang En will still cooperate with you,” Xia Ningxi said.

“No,” Ling Xiao said. “Tang En’s focus is overseas. If you don’t want to stay in Ling City, he will turn around and leave with his team. Their staying in Ling City would be very beneficial to the Ling family, so I would prefer you to stay. If you don’t want to be tied down by the Ling family, then I will give you your freedom. Let the outsiders say what they want, I won’t care.”

He was very magnanimous. No matter what outsiders said, as long as it didn't have a significant impact on the Ling family, Ling Xiao could pretend not to see it.

Even though the Huo family incident caused quite a stir this time, and Xia Ningxi returned to the capital, and photos of her were taken, and reporters came to him with the news to inquire, he acted as if he hadn't seen anything.

Perhaps the Ling family would think that since Xia Ningxi and Ling Xiao got their marriage certificate, she would belong to the Ling family for life, and her words and actions must always put the Ling family first. But Ling Xiao would not make such a request. What he wanted from beginning to end was not Xia Ningxi herself.

As they approached the end of the hospital, Ling Xiao stopped and said to Xia Ningxi earnestly, "I've almost finished preparing everything for the wedding. It's time for us to have a grand wedding."

“It’s not time yet,” Xia Ningxi said.

Ling Xiao: "I think now is a good time. Huo Nanxiao is busy dealing with the Xia sisters and doesn't have time to cause you trouble."

In Lingcheng, obtaining a marriage certificate doesn't constitute a true marriage. Only a wedding ceremony, informing both parties' relatives and friends, constitutes a formal marriage.

Xia Ningxi said, "This won't do you any good."

"To be precise, there's no harm in it either," Ling Xiao replied.

Xia Ningxi stated frankly, "I don't want to have a wedding."

“Okay, I’ve prepared everything. If you regret it, you can tell me anytime,” Ling Xiao said.

Xia Ningxi smiled slightly and did not agree.

The two strolled around downstairs at the hospital for half a day, chatting and laughing from time to time. This scene was captured by reporters who were staking out nearby, and the photos of the two were posted online that day with the caption: Huo Nanxiao's ex-wife and the head of the Ling family have a harmonious relationship.

The title left people stunned, almost unable to react.

It wasn't until everyone saw the two people in the photo that they understood. It was because Xia Ningxi and Ling Xiao had a very harmonious relationship. It seemed that Xia Ningxi was not affected by Xia Luoluo's matter, and Huo Nanxiao, who longed for a child, did not take this opportunity to reconcile with Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi didn't care what the media wrote or what they said; she was even less concerned.

Huo Nanxiao, on the other hand, immediately saw Xia Ningxi and Ling Xiaoyue taking a walk under the moon, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.

He lost all interest and turned down all work.

Helian Jue said, "Why are you throwing a tantrum? It's a 50/50 split, neither of us will lose out. Are you trying to give me a hard time?"

Huo Nanxiao rubbed his temples without replying, but his expression was very unpleasant.

Helian Jue: "What's with that expression?"

An Yao timidly took Helian Jue's hand and said, "President Huo shouldn't be upset about the cooperation."

She gestured for Helian Jue to look at Huo Nanxiao's computer, and only then did he belatedly realize that Huo Nanxiao had seen photos of Xia Ningxi and her current husband.

"Isn't this your ex-wife?" Helian Jue laughed. "I didn't expect her to be doing so well after leaving you. I heard that Ling Xiao prepared a lot of good things for her, and even spent a fortune to build her a one-of-a-kind laboratory in the world just to please her."

Huo Nanxiao sneered dismissively: "Unique?"

"Its shape is a heart," Helian Jue added.

Huo Nanxiao's handsome face darkened.

"Don't tell me you don't know?" Helian Jue asked.

Huo Nanxiao said, "You should go back now."

"No rush, we haven't finished discussing our work yet, have we? Actually, the profit from our cooperation isn't that great. Look at Ling Xiao, he's cooperating with you while using Xia Ningxi to promote the Ling family. The pharmaceutical industry is very profitable, a sure thing. He's made a lot of money off Xia Ningxi," Helian Jue said.

Huo Nanxiao: "Are you done?"

“No. I think you can try to persuade Xia Ningxi to cooperate with you and bring Tang En with you. The profits will definitely be huge.” Helian Jue added, “You and she were husband and wife before. There’s no reason why this piece of the pie should only be given to Ling Xiao and not to you, her ex-husband.”

Huo Nanxiao's temples throbbed, and he said impatiently, "You should go."

"I haven't finished speaking yet. If you're too embarrassed to talk to Xia Ningxi, I can go, and we'll split the profits 50/50," Helian Jue said in the most indifferent tone.

He seemed to be thinking about the company and his own interests, but every word he said touched Huo Nanxiao's sore spots.

Huo Nanxiao, who was already in a bad mood, completely lost it and immediately told Ye Su to see the guest out.

Feeling embarrassed, Ye Su walked blushing to Helian Jue's side and smiled slightly.

Helian Jue curled the corners of his mouth, no longer wanting to reopen Huo Nanxiao's wounds, and got up to leave with An Yao.

After they had walked away, Ye Su said, "Actually, Mr. Helian is right. The young mistress's net worth has already skyrocketed. Cooperating with their laboratory will benefit the entire company. The Ling family knew that Xia Ningxi was a second-time bride, but they didn't do anything about it because they valued her."

"President, if the young mistress can change her mind, it would be a great thing for the Huo family. In comparison, Miss Wanwan cannot provide you with such assistance. Moreover, the Xia family's affairs have damaged the company's reputation."

She stopped there and didn't continue.

She knew that Huo Nanxiao still had feelings for Xia Wanwan.

However, even Huo Nanxiao himself was unsure of the value of this relationship.

If it were in the past, Huo Nanxiao would have chosen Xia Wanwan without hesitation. But now, the Xia Wanwan who was once pure and innocent in his eyes is covered in mud and trapped in the swamp, unable to turn over.

Her family members are no different from vampires; living with such people would only be suffocating.
