Chapter 229 Daddy Wants to Snatch a Few More Kids
Huo Yuan pricked up his little ears and immediately asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Huo Xiuyuan said, "Your mommy is actually..."
"Shut up." Huo Nanxiao interrupted Huo Xiuyuan sharply.
Huo Xiuyuan said with a dark face, "Do you still want to protect Xia Wanwan now?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "A Yuan is Wanwan's child. What does Father want to say?"
Huo Xiuyuan said angrily, "You know perfectly well whose child Ayuan is!"
"Let me tell you, I will absolutely not let Xia Wanwan enter the Huo family. No matter how much you protect her, it's useless!"
"We made you hold a press conference so that you could distance yourself from Xia Wanwan! And yet, even now you're still protecting Xia Wanwan. So what if she saved your life back then? You're protecting her like this now, but have you thought about others?"
Huo Xiuyuan asked, word by word, his dark eyes filled with rage.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I know how to handle Xia Ningxi's matter."
"I see that you only have Xia Wanwan in your eyes and haven't considered anyone else at all," Huo Xiuyuan sneered.
Huo Nanxiao said, "A Yuan is still here. If Father has any complaints, we can discuss them after dinner."
Clearly, he didn't want Huo Yuan to know too much.
Although Huo Xiuyuan was angry, he was afraid of frightening Huo Yuan, so he could only suppress his anger.
After dinner, Huo Nanxiao asked the housekeeper to take the child upstairs.
After everyone left, Huo Xiuyuan finally couldn't hold back any longer. He scolded, "What exactly do you want to do? Now that Ning Xi is back, and the two of you are in love, why can't you get back together?"
"The matter has become such a big fuss, and reporters even took pictures. Why did you openly admit that Ning Xi is your wife? Why did you insist that she was your private doctor? Did you think about what others would think of Ning Xi because of this? Do you know how much her reputation has been affected by you?"
Huo Xiuyuan became increasingly angry as he spoke.
Huo Nanxiao said, "What happened last night was indeed an accident. I did not go to a hotel with her."
Huo Xiuyuan said, "Didn't you understand what I said? I'm telling you to publicly acknowledge your relationship with your spouse!"
Huo Nanxiao said with a serious expression, "Wanwan almost lost her life to save me back then, I can't let her down."
Huo Xiuyuan said angrily, "Do you think you can let Xia Ningxi down?"
Huo Nanxiao remained silent.
Huo Xiuyuan pointed at him with a trembling finger: "What do you want me to say to you? You've given the Xia family enough over the years. All of Xia Wanwan's medical expenses during her hospitalization have been paid by our Huo family. Even Huo Yuan has been adopted into her name. Isn't that enough? I think you're determined to drive Xia Ningxi to her death before you'll stop, isn't that right!"
Huo Nanxiao said, "No."
Huo Xiuyuan said, "Then tell me, what should we do about Xia Ningxi?"
Huo Nanxiao remained silent.
Huo Xiuyuan said, "She is your wife and A Yuan's biological mother. Even if you don't care about her, you should still think about A Yuan. Even if Xia Wanwan really wakes up one day, do you think she will genuinely like A Yuan? Let me tell you, it's impossible!"
"Will you abandon your own son for Xia Wanwan then?"
Huo Xiuyuan questioned him word by word.
Huo Nanxiao denied it: "A Yuan is my child. No matter what happened, I could never disown him."
Huo Xiuyuan said, "Since you know that Ayuan is your child, you should let him know who his biological mother is."
Huo Nanxiao said, "I will consider it."
Huo Xiuyuan was furious and stormed off.
Huo Nanxiao didn't say anything and quickly went upstairs.
At this public press conference, Huo Nanxiao completely distanced himself from Xia Ningxi and did not publicly acknowledge that he and Xia Ningxi were together.
In fact, Huo Nanxiao was also worried that the Han family would take action against Xia Ningxi after they found out about his relationship with her.
Now that Xia Wanwan is lying in the hospital, Huo Nanxiao can still send more people to surround the ward in layers, at least to prevent Xia Wanwan from being harmed again.
But Xia Ningxi is different.
Huo Nanxiao went upstairs.
Huo Yuan was already sitting on the bed, holding a Rubik's Cube and studying it seriously, but he didn't seem to know how to do it.
Huo Nanxiao walked to the bedside and sat down, saying in a deep voice, "Daddy will teach you."
"Okay." Huo Yuan blinked his big eyes.
Huo Nanxiao quickly solved the Rubik's Cube and handed it back to Huo Yuan: "Got it?"
Huo Yuan nodded: "Daddy is really amazing."
Huo Nanxiao smiled slightly, rubbed the little guy's head, and asked, "A Yuan, Daddy has something to ask you, and you must tell Daddy the truth."
Huo Yuan nodded.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "What do you think of Dr. Xia?"
Huo Yuan said, "She is the best person in the world."
Huo Nanxiao said, "It seems she's been treating you very well while you've been staying at her house these past few days."
A naive smile appeared on the little guy's face.
Huo Nanxiao suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Then tell Daddy, how many children does Xia Ningxi have?"
"Huh? Why is Daddy asking that?" Huo Yuan looked up in confusion.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Is there a little boy who looks exactly like you with her?"
"N-no!"
Huo Yuan was so frightened that he quickly shook his head.
Huo Nanxiao looked at him with deep eyes and said, word by word, "A Yuan, tell the truth, you're guilty."
Huo Yuan was so frightened that he gripped the Rubik's Cube tightly, his heart practically leaping into his throat. He had kept the fact that he and Xingxing had switched identities a secret very well; there was no way Daddy could have discovered Xingxing's existence. Why was Daddy asking this?
What exactly went wrong?
Should I tell my dad?
But if Daddy admits it, will he also take Xingxing away from Mommy?
Huo Yuan's mind raced. He asked, "Why does Daddy ask that? Is there really anyone in this world who looks exactly like me?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "What if there is? Have you ever seen it?"
Huo Yuan said, "Daddy is so silly. Didn't Mommy Wanwan only give birth to me? If there really is someone who looks just like me, wouldn't he be my twin brother? Daddy knows best how many children Mommy Wanwan gave birth to."
One sentence from Huo Nanxiao left him speechless.
However, Huo Nanxiao did not believe Huo Yuan's words. He even suspected that Huo Yuan was hiding something from him.
Huo Nanxiao said, "A Yuan, you are a good boy, you can't lie."
Huo Yuan got angry: "Daddy, what exactly do you want to ask? It has nothing to do with you whether Dr. Xia has several children or not."
The man was speechless after hearing that.
Huo Yuan continued his sarcastic remarks: "Grandpa doesn't like Wanwan's mommy, does Daddy want to snatch a few more children and adopt them into Wanwan's mommy's family so that she can rightfully become the eldest young mistress of the Huo family?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Huo Nanxiao's face darkened.
Huo Yuan rolled his eyes, then rolled over while still wrapped in his blanket: "Whether I'm lying or not, Daddy knows perfectly well."
