Chapter 224 No one can replace her
"What? You think I'd eat you?"
Huo Nanxiao looked down at Xia Ningxi from his high position, his sharp voice clearly filled with displeasure.
Xia Ningxi sneered: "Then what do you want to do?"
Huo Nanxiao had a gloomy face. He was at a loss with Xia Ningxi. He didn't say anything, turned around, grabbed a set of clothes, and went into the bathroom.
Xia Ningxi thought Huo Nanxiao might do something shady, but she didn't expect him to leave so decisively.
Remembering that Huo Nanxiao still had an injury on his wrist, Xia Ningxi was a little worried: "You'd better not get your wrist injured in water."
Huo Nanxiao paused slightly, his long strides faltering. He stopped and looked at Xia Ningxi with a complex expression.
Xia Ningxi remained silent.
Huo Nanxiao went into the bathroom and took a quick hot shower.
The sound of rushing water filled his ears, but Xia Ningxi's face remained etched in his mind...
He had been keeping his distance from Xia Ningxi and had even considered cutting off all contact with her. Huo Nanxiao didn't want to owe Xia Ningxi any favors, but tonight's incident left him feeling uneasy.
I feel like I owe her even more.
He turned off the water, dried his hair, and walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bathrobe.
Xia Ningxi is no longer here.
She actually ran away.
Huo Nanxiao frowned and opened the door to Xia Xingxing's room, only to find that Xia Ningxi was already sleeping with Xia Xingxing.
Huo Nanxiao looked at Xia Ningxi's back as she faced the door, his feelings a mix of emotions.
The next morning, Huo Nanxiao went to the company.
When Xia Ningxi woke up, Huo Nanxiao was already gone.
Xia Xingxing was very excited: "Mommy, why are you sleeping with me? When did you arrive?"
“While you were asleep last night,” Xia Ningxi said with a smile.
Xia Xingxing said, "Why didn't Mommy wake me up? I didn't even know Mommy had come to find me."
“You were asleep, so Mommy naturally wouldn’t wake you up. Besides, Mommy was very sleepy at the time and just wanted to get some sleep,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Xia Xingxing suddenly realized, "I know! Did Mommy come back with Daddy?"
"Hmm." Xia Ningxi nodded. "But he should be at work by now."
Xia Xingxing said, "Great! Since Daddy isn't here, Mommy can play with me."
"I still have to go to work. Do you want to stay at the Huo family's house or come back to our house?" Xia Ningxi gave Xia Xingxing the choice.
Xia Xingxing said with a smile, "I want to go to work at the hospital with Mommy."
"Okay." Xia Ningxi didn't refuse.
After having breakfast, the two children, one big and one small, went to the hospital in the Huo family's car.
Xia Ningxi didn't have much work in the morning, but quite a few people came to cause her trouble.
The news of Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao checking into a hotel last night has spread like wildfire overnight, and now everyone in the hospital is talking about it.
When they talked about Xia Ningxi before, Xia Ningxi denied it outright. Now that the reporters have caught her red-handed, with irrefutable evidence, they want to see how Xia Ningxi will explain herself.
When Su Huixue saw Xia Ningxi, she immediately mocked, "I didn't realize Dr. Xia was so capable. If things continue like this, you're definitely going to be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family."
Xia Ningxi said, "Focus your energy on your work so you can go far. Don't meddle in other people's private affairs."
"If you don't want people to talk, then don't do this kind of thing," Su Huixue said sarcastically.
Xia Ningxi ignored her and went to examine Fu Mingyan in the VIP ward.
Before he even entered the ward, he heard Fu Mingyan cursing loudly.
"What? Brother Nan Xiao went to a hotel with Xia Ningxi? How is that possible!"
"How could Brother Nanxiao possibly be interested in that woman? Is he blind?"
"You're all lying to me, aren't you? It's impossible."
Fu Mingyan was very excited.
Just then, Fu Mingyan saw Xia Ningxi standing at the door, and finally couldn't hold back anymore. She grabbed a water glass from the side and threw it towards the door.
Xia Ningxi sidestepped Fu Mingyan's attack.
Fu Xiyu, standing to the side, coldly rebuked, "Mingyan, stop fooling around!"
Fu Mingyan said angrily, "Brother, this woman is trying to steal Brother Nan Xiao away. You not only don't help me, but you're also yelling at me?"
Fu Xiyu said, "You are still a patient, and you don't need to worry about the Huo family's affairs. What you should do now is to take good care of your injuries."
"Brother Nanxiao is about to be snatched away by this woman, how am I supposed to recover? I'd rather die than watch him be seduced by this vixen," Fu Mingyan scolded playfully.
Fu Xiyu had a gloomy face and was very unhappy.
Xia Ningxi had no intention of provoking them, and said to Fu Xiyu, "Your sister seems to have a lot of opinions about me. In that case, I'll have Dr. Yang examine her instead."
Fu Xiyu said apologetically, "Okay."
Fu Mingyan was not happy: "No, I want you to examine me. I don't want any other doctors."
Xia Ningxi raised an eyebrow: "In that case, Miss Fu, please cooperate with me."
She entered the ward and, as usual, performed a physical examination on Fu Mingyan.
Fu Mingyan said sourly, "I didn't expect that Dr. Xia is not only good at medicine, but also has a lot of skills in seducing men."
Xia Ningxi paused, then said coldly, "I am your attending physician. Please respect me."
"You shamelessly went to book a room with Brother Nan Xiao. You do such a shameless thing and you still expect others to respect you?" Fu Mingyan sneered.
Xia Ningxi said, "This is between Huo Nanxiao and me, and it has nothing to do with you."
"Hmph, let me tell you, the Fu family and the Huo family are old friends. Even if Brother Nan Xiao is to get married, he will definitely choose a girl like me who comes from a prestigious family and is a good match for him. You'd better figure out your own status as soon as possible. You are not good enough for him," Fu Mingyan mocked.
After Xia Ningxi finished examining her, she said to Fu Xiyu, "Your sister's physical condition is very good, and she is in good spirits. You can consider processing her discharge."
Fu Xiyu nodded: "Okay."
After Xia Ningxi finished her examination, she turned to leave.
Fu Mingyan was furious: "Brother, what does she mean? Is she trying to kick me out? Does she think she can get rid of me? What is she? How dare she covet Brother Nan Xiao? She's just a petty person who's gotten her way. She hasn't even married into the Huo family yet and she's already putting on airs. With her background, does she even deserve to enter the Huo family's door!"
Fu Xiyu scolded, "Shut up! You're incredibly rude. No matter what, Xia Ningxi is your attending physician. How can a daughter of a prominent family like you say such a thing?"
"But she stole Brother Nan Xiao from me," Fu Mingyan said, tears welling in her eyes.
Fu Xiyu said, "Don't overthink it. Huo Nanxiao will hold a press conference today and give everyone an explanation. He... cannot let Xia Wanwan down, and no one can replace Xia Wanwan's position."
