Chapter 1117 We Never Loved Each Other
Xia Ningxi had just gotten off the plane and hadn't eaten much, so her stomach was growling loudly.
Xingxing knew she was hungry and said, "Mommy, lunch is ready! It's all your favorite food. Come and eat something."
“Okay,” Xia Ningxi replied gently.
Lunch was plentiful, and Xia Ningxi ate a lot.
Huo Nanxiao wasn't hungry, but he sat down opposite them and ate a little something with them.
Xingxing asked, "Mommy, have you finished everything?"
"More or less," Xia Ningxi replied.
Xingxing asked with some concern, "Uncle Ling isn't angry, is he?"
Xia Ningxi suddenly looked up at the stars and asked, "Do you know what I'm going to do?"
"Of course I know, isn't Mommy going to get a divorce?" Xingxing asked curiously.
Huo Nanxiao suddenly raised his head.
Huo Yuan asked curiously, "Did Mommy get a divorce while abroad?"
Chu Chu was very surprised: "Uncle Ling agreed too?"
Xia Ningxi said, "Why wouldn't I agree to that?"
Xingxing asked, "Uncle Ling isn't angry, is he?"
"No, don't worry, he's a very nice person. He didn't make things difficult for me, and he didn't get angry with me. I'm fine," Xia Ningxi reassured them.
Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. It's good that you're divorced. That way, Mommy won't have to feel guilty."
The little guy proactively picked up a piece of meat for Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi smiled and took a bite, then asked Xingxing, "Have you been spying on me all this time?"
"No, Uncle Tang En told me that Mommy and Uncle Ling went abroad. I thought you two must have gone abroad to get your divorce certificate, otherwise why would Mommy, who is so busy, go all the way abroad?"
The stars did not admit it.
In fact, it was indeed him who was monitoring Xia Ningxi's every move.
However, Xingxing didn't expect Xia Ningxi to go so smoothly, and she was even more surprised that Ling Xiao didn't lose his temper.
Anyone else would have been furious.
Xingxing served Xia Ningxi a lot of food.
Chu Chu was a little disappointed: "Mommy and Uncle Ling are divorced. Does that mean we won't be able to see Uncle Ling anymore? What a pity! Uncle Ling's glutinous rice balls are delicious. I love them."
Huo Nanxiao scoffed, "Isn't the food at home good?"
Chu Chu said, "The glutinous rice balls at home don't have honey in them, but I love the honey flavor."
Huo Nanxiao immediately called the chef over and asked him to make a plate of honey-flavored glutinous rice balls for Chu Chu.
Chu Chu said, "Uncle Ling's family has many other delicious foods, not just a plate of glutinous rice balls."
Huo Nanxiao: "Tomorrow I'll poach his chef, and he can cook whatever you want to eat."
"Really?" Chu Chu looked incredulous.
Huo Nanxiao: "Why would I lie to you?"
Chu Chu was finally happy.
Huo Nanxiao also understood why the three children liked the Ling family so much. It turned out that the Ling family was willing to go to great lengths to make the children happy, and would prepare a lot of food to keep the three little ones from eating.
He decided that the family cook also needed to be replaced. No wonder the children got tired of the same dishes every day.
After making up his mind, Huo Nanxiao sent someone to find a chef who knew how to make snacks, and made snacks tailored to the tastes of the three little ones.
After lunch, Xia Ningxi went upstairs, took a hot shower, and then went back to bed and fell fast asleep.
The three children didn't bother Xia Ningxi and went outside to play on their own.
Huo Nanxiao was in a good mood.
He sent someone to inquire at the civil affairs bureau abroad and was very happy to confirm that Xia Ningxi and Ling Xiao had obtained their divorce certificate.
Huo Nanxiao didn't disturb Xia Ningxi's rest. He took the three children out for a walk and brought back a lot of flowers, filling the house with fresh flowers.
After finally decorating the house beautifully, the three children didn't even have time to appreciate it before Huo Nanxiao sent them away.
At first, he was very unhappy: "Why is Daddy kicking us out?"
Huo Yuan was also puzzled: "Is Daddy going to propose to Mommy? Is that why he doesn't want us to see?"
Xingxing said, "But we also set up the venue, it's not right for Daddy to kick us out!"
Annoyed by the noise of the three children, Huo Nanxiao denied it, saying, "I didn't propose. You're all overthinking it."
Chu Chu said, "I don't believe it. Why did Daddy buy so many flowers? Isn't it because he wants to propose to Mommy? I heard that you need to prepare a lot of flowers for a proposal."
"No," Huo Nanxiao denied very seriously.
Chu Chu: "Since that's not the case, then we should stay at home. I don't want to go to Grandpa and Grandma's house. What if you kidnap Mommy? Who will I cry to then?"
Huo Nanxiao was both amused and exasperated, and didn't know what to say.
When Xia Ningxi woke up from her nap, she found that her house had changed dramatically. Fresh flowers were everywhere, and even the floor was covered with petals. It was very beautiful.
She thought her child had brought back the flowers from the garden, and went downstairs in confusion, only to find that the whole house had been carefully decorated and looked especially beautiful.
The three children sat obediently on the sofa, arranging flowers, with Huo Nanxiao beside them.
"What are you doing?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Xingxing said, "I'm making a bouquet. Mommy, look, isn't my bouquet pretty?"
Xia Ningxi took it and nodded seriously: "It's very beautiful."
"Then Mommy, look at mine, my bouquet is pretty too." Chu Chu also handed over her bouquet to vie for attention.
Huo Yuan was not to be outdone.
The three little ones each gave Xia Ningxi the bouquets they made.
Huo Nanxiao glanced at the enormous rose in front of him, said nothing, and handed it to Xia Ningxi: "This is for you."
Xia Ningxi glanced at Huo Nanxiao and accepted the flowers he offered.
She immediately noticed a gift box in the middle of the bouquet and asked with some surprise, "What's this?"
"Why don't you just open it and you'll see?" Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Ningxi picked up the gift box, opened it, and found a ring inside. She fell silent, a complex mix of emotions creeping into her furrowed brows.
This is a ring; it looks familiar.
Xia Ningxi remembered that she had looked at rings when she first married Huo Nanxiao, but Huo Nanxiao was unwilling to buy them for her at that time, so she remembered it very clearly.
"Why are you giving me this?" Xia Ningxi sneered.
Huo Nanxiao took the ring and put it on Xia Ningxi's hand, saying, "I will make up for everything I owe you, one by one."
Xia Ningxi did not answer.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Come back to the old house with me tomorrow, invite your brother, and we'll have a family reunion dinner together."
All three children turned to look at Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi asked Xingxing, "Do you want to go?"
Before Xingxing could speak, Huo Yuan interjected, "Mommy, I want to go back to see Grandpa and Grandma. Let's go back to the old house tomorrow. Grandpa will give us delicious candy. I want to go back."
Chu Chu's eyes lit up: "Then I want to go back too."
Xingxing glanced at her brother and sister, and sighed, "Let's go back to the old house then. It's been a long time since we've seen Grandpa and Grandma."
All three children agreed, and Xia Ningxi had no objections.
The next morning, Huo Nanxiao arranged for a private plane to pick up Xia Ningxi and the children and take them back to the Huo family's old residence.
Huo Xiuyuan was probably very happy to hear about Xia Ningxi's divorce.
The servants in the house didn't change their way of addressing Xia Ningxi, calling her "Young Mistress" repeatedly. Qu Huilan even held Xia Ningxi's hand and gave her a lot of exquisite jewelry.
Seeing the Huo family's attitude towards Xia Ningxi, Xia Jingcheng finally felt relieved.
The family sat together chatting and drinking tea, and eventually even played mahjong.
After the three children learned, they started clamoring to play with the adults, so Xia Ningxi and Xia Jingcheng gave up their spots to Xingxing and Huo Yuan.
Xia Ningxi was bored, so she took a walk in the garden.
Xia Jingcheng stayed by her side the whole time and asked, "I heard you and Ling Xiao got divorced? He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
"No." Xia Ningxi shook her head.
Xia Jingcheng asked, "What are your plans for the future? Are you planning to remarry?"
"It's fine as it is now," Xia Ningxi smiled.
Xia Jingcheng nodded: "That's true, it's good this way. If Huo Nanxiao really cares about you, it doesn't matter whether we get a marriage certificate or not."
Xia Ningxi said, "Right now, all I need to do is work hard and take good care of my three children. Nothing else matters to me."
"That's true." Xia Jingcheng breathed a sigh of relief, accompanied Xia Ningxi to the fish pond, and even grabbed a handful of fish food to feed the koi.
"By the way, what's been going on with Xia Wanwan lately?" Xia Jingcheng asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "Fu Xiyu picked her up, and I don't know where she's going to recuperate."
"No wonder the Fu family suddenly changed its heir; it turns out they kicked Fu Xiyu out of the family," Xia Jingcheng complained.
Xia Ningxi was surprised: "The Fu family has changed its heir?"
Xia Jingcheng nodded: "That's right. I suppose the Fu family looks down on Xia Wanwan. Fu Xiyu's actions are an unintentional challenge to the Fu family's authority."
Xia Ningxi smiled bitterly: "She shouldn't have married Huo Nanxiao in the first place."
"Yes, if she hadn't married Huo Nanxiao and hadn't caused so many ugly incidents, the Fu family wouldn't despise her so much. But she deserves what she has today," Xia Jingcheng sneered.
"Xia Wanwan spent her whole life pursuing so-called true love, even if it meant destroying other people's marriages and families. This is the end she deserved."
“Fu Xiyu has a conscience towards her. If she can live a good life with Fu Xiyu, even if she can’t become rich and powerful, she can at least live a life without worrying about food and clothing, which is much better than Xia Luoluo.”
Xia Ningxi lowered her eyes: "Perhaps she can see reality clearly."
Who can say for sure about fate?
Xia Ningxi looked at the two rings in her hand, both given to her by Huo Nanxiao. They were once things she had always dreamed of, but now, even with her hands full of diamond rings, nothing seemed to tempt her anymore.
She didn't know how to evaluate her life, nor how to get along with Huo Nanxiao in the future, after all, they had never truly loved each other.
The house was bustling with activity. Huo Nanxiao sat at the mahjong table with his three children, bullying them until they cried out in pain. In the end, the children got so angry that they stepped on the mahjong table and started hitting him.
Huo Nanxiao wasn't angry. He let the child hit him and even gave the child three lollipops to cheer him up.
Xia Ningxi saw them wrestling and wondered if this was happiness.
However, when Huo Nanxiao invited her to return to his old house for the Chinese New Year this year, Xia Ningxi did not refuse.
