Chapter 113 Marital Infidelity
The Yu family's affair became common knowledge, and Huo Xiuyuan arranged for another doctor to take care of Huo Yuan out of concern for him. This was not Huo Nanxiao's original intention.
Huo Nanxiao comforted Huo Yuan: "Dr. Xia can stay with you the whole time."
“Then Daddy should kick the new doctor out,” Huo Yuan said.
Huo Nanxiao quickly agreed, "Okay, I'll go and chase her away right away."
He then left the ward.
Tao Shiyi was still waiting outside the door.
Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "Go back. There's already a doctor here, so don't trouble yourself."
Tao Shiyi was surprised that Huo Nanxiao's first words upon arrival were to tell her to leave, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her pretty face.
"Young Master Huo, I was specially invited by your father. It's not appropriate for you to kick me out like this." Tao Shiyi was angry. A doctor of her caliber is not someone that just anyone can hire.
If it weren't for Huo Xiuyuan's sake, Tao Shiyi would never have accepted this job, let alone come to the hospital to take care of Huo Yuan.
But now Huo Nanxiao is in a terrible situation. He kicked himself out for a doctor with a bad reputation. If word gets out, he'll be a laughingstock.
Huo Nanxiao said, "A Yuan isn't used to you, so there's no need for you to stay. I'll explain things to Huo Xiuyuan myself. Lu Qi, see her off."
Huo Nanxiao was adamant. After leaving a message, he turned and went into the ward, closing the door behind him.
Huo Yuan blinked his big eyes and peeked outside furtively.
"I've already driven him away. Are you satisfied now?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Huo Yuan nodded repeatedly and stretched out his hands: "Daddy, hug me."
A hint of tenderness flashed in Huo Nanxiao's eyes.
Seeing a very obvious needle mark on Huo Yuan's hand, bright red with blood seeping around it, Huo Nanxiao frowned and asked Huo Yuan, "What happened to your hand? Did you get a shot today?"
Huo Yuan said, "Yes, it was Dr. Tao who did it."
Huo Nanxiao, his face grim, roared at the door, "Lu Qi!"
A bodyguard entered through the door: "Young Master Huo, Lu Qi is not here."
"Where is Dr. Tao?" Huo Nanxiao demanded.
The bodyguard said, "They've already left with Lu Qi."
Huo Yuan noticed that Huo Nanxiao was angry and quickly grabbed his sleeve: "Daddy, don't be angry. Just send her away. I only want Dr. Xia from now on."
“Okay, from now on, she will only accompany you.” Huo Nanxiao agreed.
Huo Yuan was very satisfied. He broke free from Huo Nanxiao's embrace and ran back to Xia Ningxi's side.
Huo Nanxiao noticed that Huo Yuan was no longer clinging to him.
Even when Huo Nanxiao was occasionally allowed to hug her, it was done very perfunctorily.
It feels like this little guy no longer cares about me.
Huo Nanxiao was somewhat jealous.
There was a commotion outside the door, and I didn't know what was going on. Someone was shouting and yelling outside.
He vaguely heard Xia Ningxi's name and couldn't help but take another look at her.
Xia Ningxi heard it too and knew that the people outside were coming for her. She didn't say anything, let go of her hand, and walked out.
As soon as the door opened, a water bottle was thrown at her, but luckily Xia Ningxi reacted quickly and dodged it.
The people who arrived were from the Yu family, and the man leading them was Yu Liangcai.
"Xia Xixi, how dare you stay at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital! You killed my mother, you must pay for this!" Yu Liangcai's eyes were bloodshot.
Xia Ningxi said, "The autopsy results haven't come out yet, please don't cause trouble at the hospital."
"Whether you get the result or not is irrelevant now. You're a quack! Give me back my mother's life!" Yu Liangcai rushed forward, ready to hit him.
His relatives, who were standing behind him, also pounced on him menacingly.
The bodyguards quickly stopped the people, but there were too many of them, and they couldn't stop them in time.
The crazed Yu Liangcai rushed forward and grabbed Xia Ningxi by the neck with both hands.
"Let go!" Xia Ningxi's face showed pain.
How could Yu Liangcai possibly listen to her? He gripped Xia Ningxi's carotid artery tightly with both hands, a position that could kill if pinched too hard.
Xia Ningxi was in so much pain that she could barely breathe.
Her face turned deathly pale in an instant.
She felt like she was going to die.
They wanted to struggle, but couldn't muster the strength.
Just as Xia Ningxi's vision was blurring, a dark shadow flashed past her. Before she could see who it was, Yu Liangcai, who was choking her, was kicked away.
The hands that had been gripping Xia Ningxi's throat loosened their grip at that moment.
Xia Ningxi nearly fell because she was unsteady on her feet.
A strong, powerful hand wrapped around Xia Ningxi's waist. She looked up and realized that the person who had come was Huo Nanxiao.
When the Yu family saw Huo Nanxiao appear, they were all furious.
"Huo Nanxiao, this is a matter between the Yu family and her, mind your own business!" Yu Liangcai roared angrily.
Huo Nanxiao stared at them coldly and said, "She's my woman. If you want to touch her, you'll have to see if I agree."
Yu Liangcai was furious: "Is Young Master Huo planning to bully people just because he has power and influence?"
Huo Nanxiao's face was serious.
Yu Liangcai, however, was prepared. He had long heard that Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao were having an affair, and he firmly believed that Xia Ningxi was able to continue working at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital after causing a death because of Huo Nanxiao's protection.
So when he came to the hospital, Yu Liangcai invited all the well-known media outlets in the capital city, just to see how Huo Nanxiao would protect Xia Ningxi under the watchful eyes of so many media outlets!
Almost instantly, countless blinding flashes of light shone towards Huo Nanxiao.
A group of reporters rushed forward and surrounded Huo Nanxiao.
"Young Master Huo, why are you protecting Xia Xixi?"
"Do you know she's involved in a murder case? Why are you keeping someone like that at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital? Don't you have other motives?"
"Rumors are circulating that you and she have an improper relationship. Does this mean you are going to divorce Xia Wanwan, the top socialite?"
"Does Xia Wanwan know that you've cheated on her? Or has she been kept in the dark from the beginning?"
The reporters' questions are getting increasingly tricky!
When Xia Ningxi heard Xia Wanwan's name, she glanced at Huo Nanxiao, and sure enough, he was angry.
In his heart, Xia Wanwan was an inviolable taboo subject for everyone.
Xia Ningxi pried the man's hands off her and answered the reporter's question with a serious expression: "Regarding the failed surgery of the Yu family patient, the forensic doctor is already investigating the results. If it was indeed my surgical error that caused the patient's death, I can take full responsibility."
"With Young Master Huo protecting you like this, I'm afraid you won't get into any trouble. Dr. Xia, can you tell us what your relationship is with Young Master Huo?"
The reporters didn't care whether the Yu family had died or not; they just wanted to dig up dirt on Huo Nanxiao!
Rumors are circulating everywhere that Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi are having an affair.
But everyone knows that Huo Nanxiao is already married.
The Crown Prince of the Imperial City is having an affair with a young doctor? This news is sure to cause a sensation throughout the entire capital!
