Chapter 1079 Trying on the Wedding Dress
Xia Ningxi's attitude was very firm, leaving no room for negotiation, and her indifferent demeanor was quite unfamiliar.
Huo Nanxiao chuckled, "If you really don't care, why did you come back to China?"
“I returned to China for work, not for you,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Huo Nanxiao looked into her eyes: "Is it just for work?"
Xia Ningxi said, "Do you think I did this for you? I remember clearly what you said back then. Now that we're divorced, there's nothing more to say between us. I won't cause you any trouble, and I hope you won't cause me any trouble either."
Huo Nanxiao gripped her hand angrily: "Xia Ningxi, are you really so heartless?"
Xia Ningxi couldn't break free and said angrily, "Let go."
Huo Nanxiao showed no intention of letting go.
Xia Ningxi got angry: "What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "If you really don't care at all, why did you save me in the first place?"
Xia Ningxi was startled, but feigned ignorance and said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Do you really not remember, or are you pretending not to know?" Huo Nanxiao questioned.
Xia Ningxi said, "Don't you think you're weird?"
"Isn't it you who's the strange one? If you had told me earlier that the person who saved me back then wasn't Xia Wanwan, I would never have married her." Huo Nanxiao's voice was cold and angry.
Xia Ningxi couldn't understand what Huo Nanxiao was saying. She had long forgotten what happened back then, and she couldn't remember many important things. Didn't Huo Nanxiao have any idea about this?
"So many years have passed, what do you mean by telling me this?" she questioned Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I will not let you marry anyone, absolutely not!"
"Ridiculous." Xia Ningxi scoffed coldly, not taking Huo Nanxiao's warning to heart.
Huo Nanxiao said, "You can wait and see. As long as I don't agree, no one can marry you. Don't think that just because this is Lingcheng, the Ling family can control everything. If I want to, they can't do anything."
After leaving a warning, Huo Nanxiao turned and left.
Xia Ningxi watched his retreating figure and angrily questioned him, "What exactly do you want? We've had nothing to do with each other for a long time. Who I marry is none of your business. Why are you causing me trouble?"
"You'll never get rid of me in this lifetime," Huo Nanxiao sneered.
Xia Ningxi's temper flared up instantly, and she said, "Are you sick?"
"Yes, I am sick, and you only found out on the first day?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.
Xia Ningxi was so angry that she lost her voice. She picked up a cushion and threw it at the back of Huo Nanxiao's head.
Huo Nanxiao dodged the blow, and it didn't hit him. Seeing Xia Ningxi's angry eyes, he wasn't angry. Instead, he picked up the pillow and put it back in its original place.
He said, "You know my character, so you should know very well that I'm a person of my word. You have one month to decide whether to talk things out with Ling Xiao and cut off all contact, or to wait for me to ruin your marriage. The decision is yours."
"If I don't agree, what do you plan to do?" Xia Ningxi glared at Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao chuckled, lifted Xia Ningxi's chin, and looked at her beautiful face, saying, "You'll find out when the time comes."
Xia Ningxi pushed his hand away and said angrily, "Don't think that I'll listen to you just because you're threatening me. I have nothing to do with you anymore. If you're still a man, you shouldn't be bothering me."
Huo Nanxiao never imagined that they would end up like this.
He didn't know why. He hadn't cared about Xia Ningxi at all back then, and even hoped that Xia Ningxi would disappear completely, but now his feelings for Xia Ningxi were completely the opposite.
He didn't know why Xia Ningxi, who shouldn't have been on that ship back then, had appeared, nor did he know why she had saved him in the first place.
If Huo Nanxiao had known all this earlier, he would never have married Xia Wanwan, and he certainly wouldn't have made things difficult for Xia Ningxi for so many years because of Xia Wanwan.
He knew Xia Ningxi harbored resentment, and now that he thought about it, it seemed understandable that she was angry.
Anyone would hold a grudge against him for something like this.
From beginning to end, he was blind to everything, yet he caused Xia Ningxi so much suffering.
Huo Nanxiao felt uneasy. Faced with Xia Ningxi's resistance, he suddenly fell silent. All explanations seemed pale and powerless at this moment. It seemed that only his complete disappearance could make up for the wounds Xia Ningxi had suffered.
Huo Nanxiao wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed back the words he was about to say.
Huo Nanxiao chose to stay overnight in the guest room. The next day, instead of going to work, he stayed home to spend time with his three children.
Breakfast was also prepared by Huo Nanxiao himself, and it was particularly lavish, but the children didn't like to eat it because Huo Nanxiao's skills were indeed not as good as those of a professional chef.
However, considering that Huo Nanxiao had cooked it himself, they still ate a few as a token gesture.
Xia Ningxi was quite puzzled. She asked Huo Nanxiao, "Don't you have to go to work today?"
"I'm taking a break today," Huo Nanxiao replied truthfully.
Xia Ningxi said, "Then you can take care of the child. I'm going to work."
Huo Nanxiao looked at Xia Ningxi, who was packing her things, and said, "I heard from Tang En that you're off today, so what job are you going to?"
"You investigated me?" Xia Ningxi was a little angry.
"Yes." Huo Nanxiao admitted it very readily.
Xia Ningxi originally wanted to get angry, but seeing his reckless attitude, she suddenly couldn't get angry anymore. Mainly, getting angry was useless, and Huo Nanxiao didn't take it seriously.
She took a deep breath and said to the children, "I'm going out today. Who wants to come with me?"
Xingxing asked curiously, "Where is Mommy going?"
"To try on wedding dresses," Xia Ningxi replied.
The three children's eyes lit up instantly, and Huo Yuan and Chu Chu immediately raised their hands.
"I want to go, Mommy, I want to go."
"I want to go try on wedding dresses with my mom."
The two little ones were very loud.
Xingxing's eyes sparkled with anticipation: "I want to go too! Mommy, take me with you!"
"Okay." Xia Ningxi readily agreed and said to them, "Go change your clothes now, take your things and go downstairs."
The triplets agreed very readily, ran upstairs quickly, and got themselves ready in just a few minutes, even changing into their prettiest outfits.
Especially Chu Chu, who wore a white tutu today and had two little braids. She looked so cute, like a porcelain doll. Anyone who saw her would want to give her a big kiss.
Huo Nanxiao suddenly stood up from the sofa and said, "I want to go too."
The triplets all looked at Huo Nanxiao, their eyes filled with doubt.
Huo Yuan asked, "Where is Daddy going? Are you going to wear a wedding dress too? Men can't wear wedding dresses."
Chu Chu laughed out loud: "He's definitely not going to wear a wedding dress, he's going to wear a suit."
Xingxing said, "Daddy, you're not the groom, so it's not appropriate for you to come with us, is it?"
Huo Nanxiao asked, "What's wrong?"
Xingxing said, "I feel like nothing is good."
How can we let Daddy get involved in something like this? What if Uncle Ling gets angry when he finds out?
