Chapter 1017 Where Does He Get His Shame?
That evening, Huo Nanxiao took Xia Ningxi back to Lanyuan. He didn't say a word the whole way, his face was gloomy and he didn't look good.
Xia Ningxi asked, "You weren't injured today, were you?"
"No," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Ningxi: "You don't look too good."
"Dad wants you and the children to come back," Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi: "I have work to do, so it's inconvenient for me."
“I know your work is focused on Lingcheng, but your marriage to Ling Xiao can’t last forever. The Ling family wants to use your fame to open up the medical market. Once they’ve squeezed all the value out of you, they won’t invest any more money.” Huo Nanxiao rationally analyzed the current situation.
Xia Ningxi nodded: "You're right, we've considered that too. After this phase of cooperation ends and Lin Jiangbei's health improves, we'll return to Desla. We have our own laboratory and our own company, and we can live well without anyone's financial support."
“I don’t recommend you go back,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "I'm not asking for your consent, but informing you."
"My child is doing very well in the country and has adapted very well to life here," Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi smiled slightly: "I don't deny that everything you said is true, but the children's custody is in my hands, and they prefer to live with me. They will definitely come with me after I go abroad."
“Then don’t go. As compensation, I can cover all the research expenses in your lab,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi didn't answer, but glanced at the three children sleeping soundly in the back seat through the rearview mirror. She said softly, "If it weren't for Lin Jiangbei's medical treatment, I wouldn't have brought the children back. Mom and Dad are good to the children. In the future, I will take them back to the capital to visit Mom and Dad on holidays. That's all."
It was quite late when they returned to Lanyuan. The three children hadn't taken a bath yet. Afraid of waking them, Xia Ningxi quickly washed them and then went to attend to her own business.
During the time she was away from the lab, detailed data was sent to her computer every day, and she would work through the night to process it.
After finishing all this, he would call Don to discuss some important matters.
Knowing she was in the capital, Tang En asked, "Did you go see Xia Wanwan today?"
"No." Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled, "Is there something wrong with her?"
Tang En said, "Her attending physician called today. Xia Wanwan has woken up. I thought you would go to see her."
"Really? I didn't receive any news." Xia Ningxi was very surprised.
"It happened just two hours ago," Don said.
Xia Ningxi calculated the time; at that time, she was still at the Huo family's house, playing with the three children, and no one called her.
Tang En: "Huo Nanxiao should have gone to see Xia Wanwan by now, right? Have him send me all of Xia Wanwan's medical reports tomorrow, and I'll check for any loopholes."
It's one thing for him to look down on Xia Wanwan, but as a doctor, Tang En will still provide the necessary after-sales service. He also hopes that Xia Wanwan can wake up soon, so that at least no one will wrongly accuse Xia Ningxi.
Because Xia Ningxi had seen Xia Wanwan before the incident, and there were many rumors circulating that Xia Ningxi was the one who did it.
However, Xia Ningxi is now one of Lin Jiangbei's attending physicians. Those people are afraid of offending the Ling family and dare not offend Xia Ningxi casually. Although they say nothing, they have already planted the seeds of suspicion in their hearts.
In particular, Tang En has discovered that Fu Xiyu secretly hired someone to investigate Xia Ningxi.
However, Don did not tell her about this.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ningxi walked out of the bedroom and happened to see Huo Nanxiao walking out in a hurry.
"Where are you going?" Xia Ningxi called out to him.
Huo Nanxiao stopped and pondered for a moment before speaking: "Something came up at the company."
"Tang En just called. Xia Wanwan has woken up. You can go to the hospital to see her when you have time, and send her pathology report to Tang En. He will help review it and give treatment suggestions," Xia Ningxi said.
Huo Nanxiao's face was gloomy. He hadn't expected Xia Ningxi to know about this as well. He said, "I'm going to the hospital. Do you want to go see Wanwan?"
"No need, there are other doctors at the hospital. I'm tired and want to rest." Xia Ningxi declined Huo Nanxiao's invitation.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Then let's do it tomorrow. I don't trust the other doctors."
"Okay." Xia Ningxi agreed and watched Huo Nanxiao leave.
He didn't go home that night.
Xia Ningxi was fast asleep at home. It was only the next day that she learned from the servants that Huo Nanxiao had not returned home all night. The housekeeper was so worried that he kept asking Xia Ningxi about the situation, fearing that Huo Nanxiao had gotten involved with some vixen.
Xia Ningxi remained calm and said, "He didn't go out and mess around; he just went to see Xia Wanwan."
"What's so interesting at this hour? Isn't Xia Wanwan unconscious? Huo Shao is really something, with his wife and kids at home..." The butler was very angry.
Xia Ningxi said, "Xia Wanwan has woken up. If nothing unexpected happens, Huo Nanxiao will bring her back after she is discharged from the hospital."
"Bring them back? Bring them here?" The butler's expression changed drastically.
Xia Ningxi nodded: "Lanyuan is heavily guarded, making it more suitable for Xia Wanwan to recuperate. In her current condition, she wouldn't be able to recover properly elsewhere. Only by staying under Huo Nanxiao's watchful eye can she possibly survive."
Lanyuan is the best choice.
No matter how ruthless Huo Nanxiao was, he couldn't bear to watch Xia Wanwan die.
The housekeeper said, "This is the young mistress's bridal chamber. Young Master Huo will definitely not bring Xia Wanwan to stay here, so please don't worry."
Xia Ningxi simply smiled and remained silent.
Bored out of her mind, she sat in her home theater watching the latest hit TV series, happily munching on a bag of potato chips.
Huo Yuan, who was the first to get up, searched for Xia Ningxi for a long time but couldn't find her. He was so anxious that he almost cried. When he learned that she was in the home theater, the little one burst into tears.
"What's wrong, my sweet baby?" Xia Ningxi quickly hugged Huo Yuan and tenderly rubbed the little guy's head.
Huo Yuan tearfully said, looking aggrieved, "I just had a nightmare. I dreamt that Mommy disappeared."
“It’s all fake, Mommy is right here beside you,” Xia Ningxi said with a smile.
Huo Yuan wiped away his tears: "Mommy, you're not allowed to run away secretly anymore."
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say," Xia Ningxi agreed.
Huo Yuan tilted his head and glanced at the big screen, saying, "I want to watch a movie too."
"Then let's sit down and watch together." Xia Ningxi invited Huo Yuan to sit down.
Huo Yuan was overjoyed and immediately sat down next to Xia Ningxi.
Before she could even finish watching a single episode of TV, Xia Ningxi was interrupted by Huo Nanxiao's phone call. She glanced at the caller ID impatiently and guessed that Huo Nanxiao was with Xia Wanwan at that moment.
He really has the nerve to call himself.
