Chapter 185 Who Gave Birth to Huo Yuan?
There was a group of guests downstairs, many of whom were there to watch the show. What would they think if Xia Ningxi came downstairs covered in hickeys?
Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao had already been the subject of speculation by outsiders, and Xia Ningxi had suffered a lot of criticism as a result.
Huo Nanxiao is a madman; he's practically pushing her into a fire pit.
Xia Ningxi bit Huo Nanxiao's shoulder in a fit of anger, and the man winced in pain.
Xia Ningxi quickly pulled up her skirt, completely covering her exposed shoulders, and said with raised eyebrows, "You're shameless."
"Hmph." Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly, his large hand domineeringly gripping Xia Ningxi's chin, and asked, "Are you still leaving?"
Xia Ningxi jumped out of bed in a flash.
Huo Nanxiao suddenly added, "If you dare to leave now, I guarantee Huo Jinchuan won't be able to leave the hotel."
"What are you going to do?" Xia Ningxi angrily gripped her collar.
Huo Nanxiao sneered: "Whether you go with him or stay here obediently, the choice is yours."
Xia Ningxi clenched her fists in anger. She believed that Huo Nanxiao meant what he said and did not want to cause trouble for Huo Jinchuan, so Xia Ningxi had no choice but to stay.
"Go downstairs," Huo Nanxiao commanded coldly.
Xia Ningxi was very angry, but there was nothing she could do. She could only grit her teeth and sit up in bed.
Seeing the hickeys on her neck, Xia Ningxi asked angrily, "How am I supposed to go down like this?"
"Hmph." Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly.
Xia Ningxi's face turned green with anger.
What did he mean by "humming"?
Do we really have to make her go downstairs with all those hickeys on her body?
Xia Ningxi stormed to the makeup mirror. Luckily, she had a makeup bag, so she could only apply a thick layer of concealer foundation to her neck to barely cover up the hickey.
She reluctantly went downstairs with Huo Nanxiao.
At this moment, all the guests turned their gaze toward the elevator.
Although Huo Xiuyuan is supposed to be the main character today, everyone's attention seems to be fixed on Xia Ningxi.
Huo Nanxiao, that bastard, is used to running rampant in the capital. Even if he does something wrong, people will at most say a few words. But it's different with Xia Ningxi. No matter what wrong Huo Nanxiao does, people will think it's Xia Ningxi's fault. They won't think that Huo Nanxiao is pestering Xia Ningxi.
Perhaps in everyone's eyes, Xia Ningxi is just a sparrow who wants to fly up to the top and become a phoenix.
At this moment, many people in the banquet hall were discussing this matter.
Sun Yueyao asked Fu Xiyu, "Young Master Fu, do you know who Xia Ningxi is?"
"I don't know," Fu Xiyu replied.
Sun Yueyao said, "Really? You've known Young Master Huo for so many years, and you even know Xia Ningxi? Did she already know Young Master Huo a long time ago?"
“You can ask Young Master Huo yourself,” Fu Xiyu replied coldly.
Sun Yueyao was speechless.
Duan Rongrong said, "This Xia Ningxi must have only recently hooked up with Young Master Huo."
Sun Yueyao frowned: "How can you be so sure?"
Duan Rongrong said, "I heard that she just returned from abroad two months ago. She had been receiving medical treatment abroad before. It was because of Young Master Huo's fall from the building that she had the opportunity to meet him."
Sun Yueyao said, "She's quite capable. I think Huo Shao's attitude towards her is very unusual."
Duan Rongrong sneered: "She's just a doctor, she has no money and no power. It's no wonder that Young Master Huo would be interested in her. At most, he'd just play with her."
Sun Yueyao said, "If it were just for fun, why would Young Master Huo let her attend such an important banquet? In my opinion, she's probably going to replace Xia Wanwan. It seems like Old Master Huo doesn't accept Xia Wanwan at all."
Duan Rongrong asked in confusion, "That's strange, could Xia Wanwan still be sick?"
“Who knows? So many years have passed, and the only news about her is that she gave birth to Huo Shao’s son three years ago. Apart from that, there’s been no news about Xia Wanwan. I even suspect that Xia Wanwan has been ill all along, and Huo Yuan may not even be Xia Wanwan’s son,” Sun Yueyao said.
Duan Rongrong immediately said, "You're right, Huo Yuan doesn't look like he's three years old either. How can a three-year-old child grow that tall?"
“But if Huo Yuan wasn’t born to Xia Wanwan, then who was? I’ve never heard of anyone giving birth to an illegitimate child for Young Master Huo,” Sun Yueyao replied.
They were very puzzled, and their gazes toward Xia Ningxi were full of suspicion.
Could it be that Huo Shao treats her so differently because she gave birth to his son?
The thought had barely crossed their minds when they immediately suppressed it. How could Xia Ningxi be worthy of Huo Nanxiao? Besides, Xia Ningxi had only returned from abroad two months ago; where would she have given birth to such a big son as Huo Yuan?
However, Huo Nanxiao's attitude towards Xia Ningxi is indeed hard to fathom.
Everyone stared at Xia Ningxi, their complex gazes seeming as if they wanted to peel away her layers.
Xia Ningxi didn't have time to pay attention to everyone. Huo Nanxiao wouldn't let her leave, so she obediently took care of the child.
She didn't do anything too outrageous. Even when Huo Xiuyuan took the initiative to talk to Xia Ningxi, she deliberately avoided suspicion, only politely answering a couple of questions before finding a place far away from them to sit down.
Huo Xiuyuan could tell that Xia Ningxi didn't want to be associated with the Huo family, and he felt very guilty.
The Huo family was in the wrong regarding what happened back then.
Xia Ningxi must be very sad about Huo Nanxiao taking Huo Yuan away from her.
Huo Xiuyuan originally wanted to take this opportunity to properly introduce Xia Ningxi to the guests, so that she could be more presentable and rely on the Huo family to suffer less injustice in the capital city in the future.
Judging from Xia Ningxi's expression, she clearly didn't want to have anything to do with the Huo family.
Some friends were still asking Huo Xiuyuan about Huo Nanxiao's marriage, revealing their intention to arrange a marriage. Huo Xiuyuan didn't have time to pay attention to Xia Ningxi, so he told Huo Nanxiao to take good care of her, while Huo Xiuyuan himself went to deal with the guests.
The guests gradually left only after the banquet ended.
Before leaving, Duan Rongrong ran up to Huo Nanxiao and asked shyly, "Young Master Huo, are you free tonight? I'd like to ask you to go to the movies, is that alright?"
Xia Ningxi was standing next to Huo Nanxiao. She was a little surprised to hear Duan Rongrong's words and couldn't help but look at Huo Nanxiao.
"I'm busy." The man said expressionlessly.
Duan Rongrong was very disappointed: "Then, is tomorrow night okay?"
"I don't have time either," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
"Alright then, if you're bored, Mr. Huo, you can come to me anytime." Duan Rongrong smiled sweetly at him.
Xia Xingxing rolled her eyes at her: "What do you want? Can you be used as a ball for my dad to kick around?"
Duan Rongrong's face darkened instantly, but she tried to keep smiling: "Young Master Huo is joking, but my family happens to have a football field. If you want to play football, you can come and find me."
Xia Xingxing said, "No need, you can go back. No one will be looking for you."
