Chapter 1037 Taking Turns Slapping
"Impossible!" Huo Nanxiao almost subconsciously denied Xia Wanwan's actions. He said, "Wanwan is not that kind of person. She should know very well how important the child is to Xia Luoluo. Someone as kind as her would never do such a thing."
Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at him: "Okay, you're right, it's impossible, I was just talking nonsense, alright?"
"Are you angry?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi sneered disdainfully, "What do I have to be angry about? Xia Wanwan is your ex-wife, so it's understandable that you defend her. Perhaps she is just a kind person, just like you say."
She was too lazy to explain further, and simply flattered whatever Huo Nanxiao said.
Because of this, Huo Nanxiao's feelings were extremely complicated. He remained silent for a long time before asking, "You're not lying to me?"
"Think what you want." Xia Ningxi shrugged indifferently. She didn't have time to lie to Huo Nanxiao; lying was too tiring.
In fact, Huo Nanxiao understood Xia Wanwan's character better than anyone else. If he believed that Xia Wanwan was a pure and harmless innocent girl, no matter what Xia Ningxi said, it would be useless and would only make her more annoying.
However, Huo Nanxiao didn't trust Xia Wanwan much either.
He remained silent for a long time before finally turning his gaze to the food in his bowl and letting out a helpless laugh: "After going through so much, perhaps she should have come to her senses. She should have broken off her relationship with Xia Luoluo a long time ago. It's probably for the best."
Xia Ningxi thought he was quite good at making amends for Xia Wanwan.
"Because Xia Luoluo isn't carrying your child, you don't care about her life or death at all, and you think everything Xia Wanwan did was right. But what if Xia Luoluo were carrying your child? Would you have let her give birth to the child?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Huo Nanxiao: "Of course not."
He did not hesitate for a moment.
Xia Ningxi asked, "Why?"
“I don’t like her, so naturally I won’t keep her child. She has no use to me whatsoever.” Huo Nanxiao felt utterly disgusted with Xia Luoluo.
If he had actually had relations with Xia Luoluo that night, he would have killed her.
However, he was perfectly lucid when the accident happened, which saved Xia Luoluo's life.
He would not allow someone he didn't like to have his child.
But Huo Nanxiao's answer plunged Xia Ningxi into a long silence. Finally, she gave a bitter smile: "You shouldn't have married me. If you had waited a few more years until Xia Wanwan woke up, you two would definitely have been able to get married, and she wouldn't have suffered so much."
Huo Nanxiao's expression hardened: "What nonsense are you talking about? My marriage to you is voluntary."
“But the child was left for Xia Wanwan by you,” Xia Ningxi said.
Huo Nanxiao was speechless for a moment. He couldn't refute this point because Xia Ningxi was right.
He said, "I'll clean up after we finish eating, you should get some rest."
"That's what I think too," Xia Ningxi said calmly.
After eating and drinking her fill, Xia Ningxi went back to her room to wash up. As for what Huo Nanxiao was thinking downstairs, Xia Ningxi didn't care at all.
She knew that Huo Nanxiao couldn't let go of Xia Wanwan, and she also knew that no matter what she said, it would be meaningless. The only bond between her and Huo Nanxiao was their three children.
The children are still young and need their parents' company the most. Xia Ningxi did not completely sever ties with Huo Nanxiao because she did not want the three children to lose their father.
But children will grow up eventually, and once they grow up, Huo Nanxiao's role as a father will no longer be important.
She slept soundly that night, sleeping until dawn.
The children were all awake, but Xia Ningxi was still asleep.
The three little ones didn't want to disturb Xia Ningxi, but they also wanted someone to play with them, so they went to bother Huo Nanxiao, waking him up after he had just fallen asleep and nagging him to come downstairs to play.
Huo Nanxiao also didn't go to the company because he hadn't slept well all night, and slept at home for the whole afternoon.
With Xia Ningxi not home, the three children were quite energetic, playing cards next to Huo Nanxiao. Whoever won could draw a card from Huo Nanxiao. The little ones were having a great time, and each of them was more skilled than the last.
Huo Nanxiao, a grown man, was bound to get a little angry after being beaten by three little guys in turns.
At first, the three little ones only slapped Huo Nanxiao's hands and legs, but in the end, Chu Chu felt it wasn't enough and started slapping Huo Nanxiao's slaps instead.
Huo Nanxiao could no longer pretend to be asleep. He opened his eyes and looked coldly at Chu Chu, who was riding on his back. The little girl's hand was already raised in mid-air, but she froze when Huo Nanxiao glared at her.
"You... how did you wake up?" Chu Chu asked, her mouth agape in surprise.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "What are you doing?"
Chu Chu looked at her own hand, then at Huo Nanxiao, and without thinking, slapped him across the face, saying in a childish voice, "I'm slapping your face, see, isn't that amazing? Your voice is so sweet!"
Huo Nanxiao was furious. He grabbed Chu Chu's hand, stood up, flipped the little girl over, and was about to slap her bottom.
"Ah, you can't hit me! You're the one who asked me what I was doing, you're the one who told me to hit you!" Chu Chu quickly begged for mercy.
Huo Nanxiao slapped the little girl's bottom: "When did I give you permission to lay a hand on her?"
"You asked me, of course I'll demonstrate for you. I didn't even play seriously," Chu Chu explained, looking aggrieved.
Seeing the little girl's pitiful look, Huo Nanxiao felt too embarrassed to scold her anymore. Instead, he reprimanded his two older brothers: "Are you two older brothers also making a fuss like this?"
Huo Yuan lowered his head in fear.
Xingxing said, "You won't even let me play cards. Daddy is no good."
"Are you playing cards or hitting people?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.
Xingxing said, "But no one was killed."
"You want to kill someone?" Huo Nanxiao's aura was terrifyingly cold.
Xingxing said, "Daddy's making a big deal out of this. You're our daddy, so what's wrong with hitting you? Other kids can play with their fathers, but just because Mommy divorced you, does that mean you're no longer our daddy?"
"That's not what I meant." Huo Nanxiao's anger subsided instantly, and he said to Xingxing with some guilt, "Never mind, you can play whenever you want in the future."
"Really?" Xingxing's eyes widened.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Really."
Xingxing: "Great! I love playing with Daddy the most!"
The little guy pounced on Huo Nanxiao, hugged him tightly, and started punching and kicking him!
When Chu Chu saw it, she was shocked for a few seconds before rushing to Huo Nanxiao and giving him a good beating. She couldn't lose to her brother!
Huo Yuan is a good boy, but he needs to fit in!
Huo Nanxiao hadn't expected these three little guys to be so mischievous. It took a lot of effort to pull them down, and the little bit of fatherly love that had just been ignited was extinguished by the three little ones' rebellious behavior.
All that talk about fatherly love being greater than heaven is a lie; all he wants now is to beat those three little rascals to a pulp.
