Chapter 142 Bringing Xia Xingxing Back to the Huo Family
Xia Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Huo Yuan was alright.
He said, "Luckily, it was me who got arrested. If it had been Huo Yuan, that crybaby, he would have been terrified."
Xia Ningxi felt sorry for Xia Xingxing and gently hugged the little one, apologizing softly: "I'm sorry, Xingxing, it's all Mommy's fault. Mommy didn't take good care of you."
"It's not Mommy's fault. I was just playing around and got kidnapped by bad guys. I'll be more careful in the future. Mommy, you don't need to blame yourself. You did nothing wrong."
Xia Xingxing held Xia Ningxi in her arms, but when she saw the man walking in from outside, she froze.
His small hands, which were holding Xia Ningxi, froze for a moment, and he stared wide-eyed in terror at Huo Nanxiao, who was walking towards him step by step.
Xia Xingxing was completely stunned.
What's that scoundrel Daddy doing here?
Did he recognize me?
What to do, what to do...
Will that wicked daddy snatch him away from mommy and give him to that wicked woman?
Xia Xingxing's face was extremely pale, and her large, grape-like eyes were filled with fear.
The little guy's voice also stopped abruptly when Huo Nanxiao appeared.
Xia Ningxi was wondering why Xia Xingxing had suddenly become so quiet. When she turned around, she realized that Huo Nanxiao had been standing behind her at some point. Only then did Xia Ningxi realize that Huo Nanxiao had returned.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little flustered.
Huo Nanxiao, however, did not notice Xia Ningxi's unusual behavior and walked towards Xia Xingxing.
Xia Xingxing stared wide-eyed in terror as Huo Nanxiao was about to walk up to him. Without thinking, he threw himself into Xia Ningxi's arms.
This subtle gesture made Huo Nanxiao frown.
Huo Nanxiao thought he was frightened by being kidnapped by the kidnappers, and said in a deep voice, "A Yuan, I'm Daddy, don't be afraid."
Daddy?
Whose daddy are you?
I don't know you at all!
Xia Xingxing blinked his big eyes and looked at Xia Ningxi with a silly, pleading look.
Huo Nanxiao also noticed the little guy's unusual behavior. He was very puzzled and wondered why his precious son seemed like a different person after not seeing him for a night.
He could clearly see the fear in Huo Yuan's eyes.
Huo Yuan was actually afraid of him?
This discovery surprised Huo Nanxiao greatly. He was puzzled and didn't know where the problem lay.
"What's wrong with you?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
This kind of thing has never happened to Huo Yuan before.
He reached out to touch Xia Xingxing's forehead to check if the little one had a fever, but before Huo Nanxiao could touch Xia Xingxing, the little one had already snuggled into Xia Ningxi's arms.
Huo Yuan was afraid of him.
Upon noticing this, Huo Nanxiao frowned and asked seriously, "A Yuan, are you afraid of me?"
Xia Xingxing didn't dare to speak, but just curled up in Xia Ningxi's arms like a frightened kitten, and didn't dare to let Huo Nanxiao touch her.
Xia Ningxi said to Huo Nanxiao, "The child just woke up. He must have been frightened and hasn't had time to adjust yet. Why don't you go out for a bit, and I'll comfort him."
“He’s my son, so I’m the one who should be comforting him,” Huo Nanxiao said, not pleased.
Looking at his precious son, who was clearly afraid of him, Huo Nanxiao assumed that Huo Yuan was still angry because he hadn't allowed Xia Ningxi to return to the Huo family's old house to be with him. He said to Xia Xingxing very seriously, "You were lucky this time and weren't taken away from the capital by bad people. You won't be so lucky next time. You're not allowed to run away from home again, understand?"
Xia Xingxing didn't dare to say a word.
Huo Nanxiao's face was serious: "A Yuan, did you hear me clearly when I spoke to you?"
"I...I...I heard it," Xia Xingxing replied tremblingly.
Huo Nanxiao frowned: "Why is your voice hoarse?"
Xia Xingxing said in her childish voice, "My throat hurts."
"I'll go ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine for you."
Huo Nanxiao thought that Huo Yuan's throat was swollen and planned to ask the doctor to prescribe some anti-inflammatory medicine for the little guy.
As soon as Huo Nanxiao stepped out of the ward, Xia Xingxing couldn't hold back any longer. He excitedly grabbed Xia Ningxi's hand and said, "Mommy, why did he call me 'A Yuan'? Did he mistake me for Huo Yuan?"
“That’s right, he thought you were Huo Yuan. Xingxing, you must remember, from today onwards, you are Huo Yuan. You can’t let Huo Nanxiao find out your true identity, understand?” Xia Ningxi reminded her.
Xia Xingxing asked, "What about Huo Yuan?"
“He’s at his uncle’s house. I’ll find a chance to switch you two back, but before that, you absolutely cannot let Huo Nanxiao find out this secret, otherwise you’ll never see Mommy again,” Xia Ningxi carefully reminded Xia Xingxing.
Xia Xingxing nodded: "I understand."
He didn't ask Xia Ningxi why, because he already had the answer in his heart.
Since the bad daddy could do something like snatching Huo Yuan away and giving him to someone else, he could naturally also snatch him away from Mommy and give him to another woman.
Xia Xingxing didn't want to leave her mommy.
He hugged Xia Ningxi tightly and said, "Mommy, I don't want to be separated from you. I won't let him find out that I'm not Huo Yuan."
"Okay." Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief.
When Huo Nanxiao returned, he brought anti-inflammatory medicine for Xia Xingxing.
Xia Xingxing was fairly cooperative.
After the doctor performed a physical examination on Xia Xingxing, he determined that she had only suffered minor injuries and discharged her from the hospital.
Xia Ningxi wanted to take Xia Xingxing away, but Huo Nanxiao directly told Lu Qi to park the car at the hospital entrance, meaning he wanted to take Xia Xingxing back to the Huo family.
Xia Xingxing panicked. He dared not go home with Huo Nanxiao, so he quickly grabbed Xia Ningxi's hand and said, "I want to stay with Dr. Xia."
“Ah Yuan, listen to me, come home with me. There are professional doctors at home who can take good care of you.” Huo Nanxiao did not agree.
Xia Xingxing said, "If Daddy doesn't let Dr. Xia accompany me, I won't go back with you."
"You still want to run away from home? Wasn't this lesson severe enough? Do you want to be kidnapped by bad guys again?" Huo Nanxiao questioned sternly.
Xia Xingxing said, "I don't care, I just want Dr. Xia."
The way he looks when he's angry is exactly the same as Huo Yuan's.
So much so that Huo Nanxiao couldn't even realize that the little guy in front of him wasn't Huo Yuan at all.
He treated Xia Xingxing like Huo Yuan, stuffing the little guy into the car without a word and slamming the door shut.
Xia Ningxi watched helplessly as Huo Nanxiao so roughly shoved her precious son into the car. She rushed forward to stop him, but Huo Nanxiao blocked her from entering the car.
“You haven’t slept all night, go back and rest. I’ll take A-Yuan back to the Huo family first.”
Huo Nanxiao's attitude was very tough.
Xia Ningxi was speechless. She saw Xia Xingxing leaning against the car window, blinking at her repeatedly for help, and clenched her fists slightly.
