Chapter 267 You stole me, what will Mommy do?
As Xia Ningxi walked out of the research center, a black sports car sped up from a distance, its modified taillights drawing long trails of smoke, immediately attracting the attention of many people.
Passersby stopped in their tracks, gazing enviously at the sports car parked by the roadside. The car's design was quite rare, and it was clear at a glance that it was very expensive. It revved the engine and stopped in front of Xia Ningxi.
"How come it's you?" Xia Ningxi was surprised.
The person who came was Huo Jinchuan.
Huo Jinchuan smiled and said, "I'll take you home."
Xia Ningxi thought for a moment and then got into the car.
After buckling up his seatbelt, Huo Jinchuan stepped on the gas and drove off.
The wind howled in the darkness, and the night in the imperial city was rather cold, making Xia Ningxi shiver.
"Cold?" Huo Jinchuan asked as he closed the convertible top.
The temperature inside the car quickly cooled down, and he said to Xia Ningxi, "Feeling better?"
"Mm." Xia Ningxi nodded.
Huo Jinchuan said, "Shall we go out for a meal?"
"No, just tell me what's on your mind," Xia Ningxi declined his invitation.
Huo Jinchuan said, "I didn't know you had a child who looks just like Huo Yuan by your side."
"Is there a problem?" Xia Ningxi asked, displeased.
Huo Jinchuan said, "Given Huo Nanxiao's temperament, you probably won't even be able to win custody of either of these two sons."
Xia Ningxi remained silent, patiently waiting for Huo Jinchuan to speak.
Huo Jinchuan said, "I just came back from Ninghai Hospital. I heard that Xia Wanwan's condition has improved. If nothing unexpected happens, she may wake up soon. Based on your understanding of Huo Nanxiao, after Xia Wanwan wakes up, will you still have a place in the capital city?"
"You came to see me just for this?" Xia Ningxi asked, displeased.
Huo Jinchuan said, "Shouldn't you think about your future? I know what I'm about to say might be a little hurtful, but Huo Nanxiao was able to abandon you, his wife of two years and who bore him children, for Xia Wanwan. Now that Xia Wanwan has woken up, is there really any need for you to exist?"
One sentence seemed to strike Xia Ningxi's frozen heart. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.
After an unknown amount of time, the car stopped in front of Lanyuan. Xia Ningxi looked at the majestic castle in front of her, opened her mouth, but ultimately did not utter a single word.
Enter the castle.
Upon hearing footsteps, the two sons quickly ran downstairs.
"Mommy!"
"Mommy!"
Two crisp sounds, each louder than the last.
Xia Ningxi hugged her two sons, one on each side, and looked around. There was no one there. She asked, "Where's your daddy?"
Xia Xingxing said, "I locked him in the study."
Xia Ningxi's lips twitched violently, and she asked incredulously, "Really?"
Huo Yuan nodded: "I handed over the lock."
Xia Ningxi was speechless. She hadn't expected these two little ones to be so bold. Without thinking, she headed upstairs to the study, only to find the bronze door locked tightly with a heavy lock.
She thought her two sons had really gone mad!
This is Huo Nanxiao's home!
Although they are indeed Huo Nanxiao's biological sons, they are not born to Xia Wanwan. Huo Nanxiao hates him so much, and even if the two are his biological sons, their repeated antics will surely enrage him.
"Give me the key," Xia Ningxi quickly asked Xia Xingxing.
Xia Xingxing opened her mouth with a wronged look on her face: "Mommy, why?"
“You can’t lock people in the room, that’s wrong,” Xia Ningxi explained patiently.
"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong." Xia Xingxing lowered her head.
Huo Yuan also lowered his head in self-reproach.
But when Xia Ningxi opened the door to the study, she found it empty and deserted. Just as she was wondering what was going on, a cold, sharp voice came from behind her.
What are you looking for?
Huo Nanxiao appeared behind the three of them at some point. His long black robe made him look exceptionally aloof and arrogant. His unfathomable eyes were cold and deep, revealing no emotion, but giving people a very uneasy feeling.
Xia Ningxi was about to open her mouth when her two sons ran away as if they had seen a ghost!
In the blink of an eye, the two little ones had disappeared!
Xia Ningxi's eyes widened; she never expected these two little devils to be so inconsiderate! By the time she tried to run away again, Huo Nanxiao had already blocked her at the door.
"This has nothing to do with me," she immediately distanced herself from the issue.
Huo Nanxiao stepped forward.
Xia Ningxi's breath hitched, and she instinctively stepped back, but the man's strong wrist encircled her waist. His cold eyes were fixed on Xia Ningxi's beautiful face, and Huo Nanxiao said, word by word, "These two brats need to be taught a lesson."
"What do you want to do?" Xia Ningxi asked in surprise.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "What do you think we should do with them?"
"That's your own son, what do you want to do with him?"
Xia Ningxi was angry. She never expected that Huo Nanxiao could say such cold-blooded and ruthless words.
"Huo Yuan is, but Xia Xingxing..." The man's voice paused.
Xia Ningxi said, "What's wrong with Xia Xingxing? Isn't he your son? If you dare to hurt Xingxing, I'll fight you to the death."
Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly and didn't say anything, but at dinner, everyone at the table had a bowl of sweet soup, except for Xia Xingxing.
The clever Xia Xingxing immediately realized that Huo Nanxiao was targeting her. She wasn't angry at all. Instead, she proudly raised her chin, picked up other dishes on the table, and ate heartily. She wasn't upset at all that she hadn't gotten the sweet soup.
As a result, Xingxing choked because he ate too fast and started coughing painfully. Huo Nanxiao frowned, took a step forward, picked up the little guy, pressed his chest and patted his back hard...
Wow--
Xingxing spat out the meat stuck in her throat.
Huo Nanxiao frowned and instructed the steward, "Go and fetch a bowl of porridge."
"Here you go."
A bowl of fragrant vegetable porridge was served shortly afterward. Xia Xingxing was coughing badly and had eaten too quickly, so Huo Nanxiao simply placed her on the empty chair next to him.
Just a moment ago, Xia Xingxing was eating heartily, but because she was so close to Huo Nanxiao, she immediately became as timid as a mouse, not daring to utter a sound, completely lacking the heroic spirit she had shown when she was doing bad things.
Huo Nanxiao found it very funny and asked Xia Xingxing and Huo Yuan to sleep with him that night.
Xia Xingxing immediately retorted upon hearing this.
"No, I want to sleep with Mommy."
Huo Nanxiao said expressionlessly, "Huo Yuan sleeps with your mother, you sleep with me."
His domineering voice left no room for negotiation, and in the end, Xia Xingxing was forcibly carried upstairs by Huo Nanxiao.
"Mommy, will Xingxing be alright?" Huo Yuan was very worried.
Xia Ningxi said, "Probably not."
She felt that Huo Nanxiao still had some humanity left. Although Xingxing was a bit mischievous, he was, after all, Huo Nanxiao's own son. Even tigers don't eat their cubs, so Huo Nanxiao wouldn't be so cruel to Xingxing, would he?
Although she believed that Huo Nanxiao wouldn't be too inhumane, she was still worried about Xingxing staying by Huo Nanxiao's side.
As for Xia Xingxing, after being carried back to the bedroom by Huo Nanxiao, she sat on the sofa in a small ball, nervously gripping the corner of the sofa, her big, grape-like eyes shining brightly as she stared at Huo Nanxiao with great vigilance.
"Will you take a shower yourself, or should I help you?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Xingxing hurriedly refused, "No need, I'll wash it myself."
Then the little guy quickly ran into the bathroom and washed himself clean without Huo Nanxiao's help at all.
Huo Nanxiao discovered that although Xia Xingxing was more mischievous than Huo Yuan, she was also more sensible. At the same age, Xia Xingxing could bathe herself and dress herself, so Huo Nanxiao didn't have to worry about her much.
After washing up, Xia Xingxing sat on the sofa, too afraid to move or get into Huo Nanxiao's bed. She curled up pitifully in a corner next to the sofa, looking very pathetic.
Huo Nanxiao returned from a phone call to find Xia Xingxing looking pitiful. His heart skipped a beat, and he raised a slight brow as he walked over and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping in bed?"
"I'll sleep on the sofa," Xia Xingxing said proudly.
Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes: "Are you afraid of me?"
“I’m not afraid of you,” Xia Xingxing explained immediately.
Huo Nanxiao slightly curled the corners of his lips: "Then what are you doing hiding here?"
"I think the sofa is really comfortable, and I want to sleep here by myself." Xia Xingxing stubbornly denied it, raising her chin.
Huo Nanxiao was amused by him, but he also knew that Xia Xingxing actually had a problem with him.
He sat down, his deep eyes fixed on Xia Xingxing's, and asked very seriously, "Xingxing, you don't like me, do you?"
Xia Xingxing didn't speak, but the subtle expression on his face told Huo Nanxiao that he really didn't like him.
Huo Nanxiao said, "You are my son, and I don't expect you to accept me right now, after all, you didn't grow up by my side. However, I am your biological father, and even if you do something outrageous, I will not punish you. But doing too many bad things is not good."
Xia Xingxing said, "Then let me go home, and I won't tease you anymore."
“This is your home,” Huo Nanxiao said very seriously.
Xia Xingxing shook her head: "This isn't the place. My home isn't here."
"You are a child of the Huo family, so you should stay in the Huo family." Huo Nanxiao said very seriously.
Xia Xingxing said, "My surname is Xia, I am my mother's child, I am not a child of the Huo family. Why do you insist that I stay in the Huo family? If I listen to you and go with you, what will happen to my mother?"
Those bright, grape-like eyes blinked as they gazed at Huo Nanxiao. He asked very seriously, "From beginning to end, all you've ever wanted is me and Huo Yuan? What about Mommy?"
One sentence stumped Huo Nanxiao. He frowned and said, "I will handle this matter."
"What are you going to do? Take me away from Mommy and give her some money to get rid of her?" Xia Xingxing questioned.
