Chapter 1033 She's excellent, don't try to get involved.
When Xia Luoluo was pregnant, Xia Wanwan was still married. Tang En was telling everyone present that Xia Luoluo had climbed into her brother-in-law's bed, which also made Xia Wanwan's face burn with embarrassment.
The people around them all looked over at once, their eyes filled with mixed emotions and a hint of watching a show. Everyone knew about the two sisters' messy affairs, and seeing Xia Wanwan's face turn from blue to purple, they all found it quite amusing.
However, no one said anything; they just watched silently, and no one took the initiative to stab Xia Wanwan in the heart.
Xia Wanwan forced a smile and said, "Thank you for reminding me, but you don't need to worry about my family matters."
Tang En said, "You and Ning Xi are family. I am Ning Xi's best friend, so I should care about you more."
Xia Wanwan couldn't eat a single bite of food: "This kind of concern is unnecessary."
"That's not right of you. I'm just trying to be helpful, how can you be so ungrateful?" Tang En started to morally blackmail Xia Wanwan.
Because that's the tone they usually use to morally blackmail Xia Ningxi!
Xia Wanwan was stunned for a moment when someone said that to her for the first time. She obviously did not expect Tang En to say such a thing. She tightened her grip on the chopsticks, but in the end she could not say a word.
She had no way to refute what Tang En said, so she could only lower her head and pretend she couldn't hear anything, silently eating the food in her bowl, but her heart was filled with sorrow.
While everyone else ate with relish, Xia Wanwan found it tasteless and was distracted. In the end, she simply stopped eating, put down her chopsticks, and pretended to be full.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xia Ningxi asked Xia Wanwan, "I have something to do and need to leave first. Are you planning to go back by yourself or should I find someone to take you?"
Xia Wanwan forced a smile and said, "I can go back by myself, but if it's on your way, could you take me to a nearby hotel?"
"Do you live with Xia Luoluo?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Xia Wanwan shook her head: "She's still in the hospital. I'm living alone now. She's still angry with me, so I don't dare to live with her for the time being."
"I understand." Xia Ningxi had a clear idea and didn't ask any more questions.
Xia Wanwan didn't have a car and didn't look well, probably because she hadn't fully recovered from her previous injury. After leaving the lab with Xia Ningxi, Xia Wanwan planned to hail a taxi on the street.
Xia Ningxi watched without saying a word and silently made a call to the Ling family's driver. A moment later, a black Rolls-Royce pulled up. Xia Ningxi assumed the driver was the Ling family's driver, but then she saw Huo Nanxiao get out of the car.
Xia Ningxi was momentarily stunned. She stopped abruptly in her tracks and instinctively looked at Xia Wanwan, assuming that Huo Nanxiao had come to pick her up.
Huo Nanxiao clearly didn't expect Xia Wanwan to be here. After getting out of the car, he walked straight towards Xia Ningxi, completely unaware that there was someone else beside him.
"Good evening," Xia Ningxi greeted politely.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I'll take you back."
"Go back where?" Xia Ningxi asked in return.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Go home. The children are waiting for you at home. I'll give you a ride home on my way."
Xia Ningxi said, "I'm going to the Ling family tonight. Since you're here, why don't you take Xia Wanwan home? There's no one to take her. She doesn't look well; she's probably still recovering from her injury. Please take good care of her on the way."
She pointed at Xia Wanwan and decisively pushed Huo Nanxiao to her.
When Xia Wanwan, who had already reached the roadside, turned around and found Huo Nanxiao right behind her, she was quite surprised. A hint of surprise and an easy-to-discover joy flashed in her lonely eyes.
However, when Xia Wanwan realized that Huo Nanxiao had come to find Xia Ningxi, she was completely distraught. The joy that had just welled up inside her was instantly washed away. She tried her best to suppress the bitterness in her heart, and remained silent, just quietly looking at Huo Nanxiao.
"What are you doing here?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Wanwan forced a calm smile and said, "I need to talk to Ning Xi about something. What about you? Are you here to pick her up from get off work?"
Huo Nanxiao did not answer, which was taken as tacit agreement.
Xia Wanwan gave a wry smile: "I'm sorry, should I not be here? I'll leave now."
"Stop." Huo Nanxiao called out to her.
Xia Wanwan stopped and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Huo Nanxiao asked, "Why did you come to Lingcheng? Are you unwell?"
"I came to see Luo Luo. I heard she hasn't been feeling well lately. My father has been trying to get me to help her and ask you to intercede for her, but I don't want to. I feel that her getting pregnant with your child during our marriage is a betrayal of me, and I don't like her."
“You should have broken off your relationship with her long ago,” Huo Nanxiao said calmly.
Xia Wanwan gave a bitter smile: "Yes, I should have cut ties with Luo Luo a long time ago, but I still miss her for taking care of me so diligently when I was sick all these years, and I miss the few remaining family ties. After all, there aren't many people in this world who love me anymore. But in the end, I realized that she didn't even care about me, her own sister."
Xia Wanwan gave a bitter smile, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Her frail, tearful appearance resembled a pure white, delicate, and easily bullied little white flower. Even as her face aged with the passing years and was tormented by illness, Xia Wanwan's cool and frail temperament remained undiminished. She was a woman that would make any man feel sorry for her.
Huo Nanxiao couldn't be truly cold-hearted towards her; he still had some affection for Xia Wanwan. He said, "You're not feeling well, so don't go out and wander around. Go back and rest well to recover."
"I understand, thank you for your concern." Xia Wanwan nodded politely, tears welling up in her eyes.
Xia Ningxi watched all of this calmly until the Ling family's car arrived.
Ling Shuang got out of the car herself and greeted Xia Ningxi: "Dr. Xia, get in the car."
"Okay." Xia Ningxi replied and walked towards Ling Shuang without hesitation.
Huo Nanxiao took her hand and asked, "What are you doing at the Ling family's place?"
Xia Ningxi said, "I am a doctor who was hired back to China by the Ling family at a high salary. Naturally, I am here to treat the Ling family. Otherwise, what else could I be doing?"
Her beautiful eyes swept over Xia Wanwan and she said, "Wanwan is not in good health and is prone to fainting. If you have time, Mr. Huo, you can send her back. She doesn't have a place to stay right now, so you can arrange a place for her to stay."
Xia Ningxi broke free from Huo Nanxiao's hand and got into the Ling family's car.
Ling Shuang glanced at Xia Wanwan indifferently, then smiled and said to Huo Nanxiao, "Mr. Huo, there's something I should remind you. Right now, my elder brother is Xia Ningxi's only legal husband. Please stay away from my sister-in-law to avoid being photographed and ruining her reputation. She is now a well-known doctor both domestically and internationally; not just anyone can associate with her."
