Chapter 300 Marriage in Three Months
Right after Huo Nanxiao's accident, someone at the hospital attacked Xia Wanwan. Fortunately, Huo Nanxiao had arranged for bodyguards to protect her, so Xia Wanwan was unharmed. However, Tang En's team suffered an unexpected disaster, with two experts injured.
Tang En was also surprised by this, and even asked Xia Ningxi what was going on. Xia Ningxi rushed to Ninghai Hospital.
Tang En was invited by Xia Ningxi to come to the capital to treat patients. He thought he was just seeing an ordinary patient, but he never expected this to happen.
"What exactly is going on with the Huo family? Why would someone want to kill us?" Tang En had no intention of risking his life to save someone.
Xia Ningxi said, "It must have been Huo Nanxiao's enemies who did it, targeting Xia Wanwan. Your people were just collateral damage."
Tang En said, "Xia Wanwan's body has recovered to the point where she can have surgery. I can't contact Huo Shao, and I don't know where he went."
"I'll try to contact him. I'll let you know when I get back to you."
Xia Ningxi came out of the ward and took the opportunity to visit the injured expert.
She tried calling Huo Nanxiao but no one answered, so she eventually took a taxi to Lanyuan.
When the housekeeper saw Xia Ningxi return, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her: "Young Madam, what brings you back?"
"Is Huo Nanxiao at home?" Xia Ningxi asked.
The butler said, "Yes, it is."
Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief and started to walk upstairs to find him.
The butler immediately stopped Xia Ningxi: "Young Madam, it's not convenient for Young Master Huo to see anyone right now."
"I'm not an outsider," Xia Ningxi said unhappily.
The housekeeper said, "There are other guests in Young Master Huo's room, so it's not convenient for the young mistress to go there right now."
Xia Ningxi ignored the housekeeper and hurried upstairs.
She knocked on the door, and it opened after a short while. Standing in front of Xia Ningxi was a woman with a very aloof and beautiful appearance. She looked at Xia Ningxi with suspicion and asked, "Are you here to see Young Master Huo?"
The person in front of me is Tao Shiyi, the Huo family's private doctor, who usually stays by Old Madam Huo's side.
“I need to talk to him,” Xia Ningxi said.
Tao Shiyi: "He is not available to see guests right now."
Xia Ningxi raised an eyebrow. A guest? They haven't even gotten their divorce certificate yet, so she's still practically the mistress of the house.
Ignoring Tao Shiyi, she went straight inside.
"Stop! I didn't give you permission to go in." Tao Shiyi grabbed Xia Ningxi's hand, angry.
Xia Ningxi raised her eyebrows: "You are just the Huo family's private doctor. Just do what you're supposed to do."
Xia Ningxi unceremoniously broke free from Tao Shiyi's hand. They were both doctors; Xia Ningxi didn't know whether they could be seen in public.
She glanced at Huo Nanxiao. "Is this bastard even dead? Who gives an outsider the right to speak so loudly here?"
Xia Ningxi closed the door directly.
Tao Shiyi stood there stunned, shocked by Xia Ningxi's arrogant attitude. When she tried to stop her, she found that the door had been locked from the inside.
The master bedroom was dimly lit. Xia Ningxi walked over and found Huo Nanxiao lying on the bed with a wound on his forehead, probably from a shard of glass. No one was treating him.
Didn't a doctor just treat his wound?
Why didn't you bandage the wound on your forehead as well?
There was a first-aid kit nearby, and out of professional ethics, Xia Ningxi prepared to treat Huo Nanxiao's wounds without hesitation.
"Get out."
The moment her hand touched Huo Nanxiao, a sharp voice suddenly rang out, startling her.
At this moment, Huo Nanxiao had his eyes closed. Although his face was somewhat pale, he was extremely cold and exuded a chilling aura that kept strangers at bay.
"oh."
Xia Ningxi gave a faint reply and turned to leave.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Huo Nanxiao quickly grasped the hand that was across his forehead, opened his eyes, and when he saw Xia Ningxi, a complex emotion flashed in his dark eyes: "When did you arrive?"
"Just now." Xia Ningxi tried to pull her hand away.
Huo Nanxiao gripped it tightly: "Where are we going?"
"Didn't you tell me to get out?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I wasn't talking about you."
Xia Ningxi's temper subsided a little. She sat down and asked, "How did you get hurt?"
"It's alright," Huo Nanxiao said calmly.
Xia Ningxi said, "I just came back from Ninghai Hospital. Two experts were injured. I want to know who did it?"
"Don't worry about it, I'll handle this." Huo Nanxiao did not directly answer Xia Ningxi's question.
Xia Ningxi asked, "Are you from the Han family?"
Huo Nanxiao's deep gaze fell on Xia Ningxi.
“Even if you don’t say it, I know. Things have become turbulent since Han Musen was released from prison.” Xia Ningxi understood everything.
Huo Nanxiao said, "You seem to know Han Musen very well?"
Xia Ningxi smiled bitterly. That guy almost took her life back then, how could she not know?
She concealed the complex emotions in her eyes, not wanting to dwell on the past.
"I'm here to tell you that Tang En said Xia Wanwan's recovery is going well and she's ready for surgery. Two experts were attacked today and were slightly injured. They want to expedite the surgery and leave as soon as possible," Xia Ningxi said.
Huo Nanxiao said, "You have Tang En arrange the time, and I'll have Lu Qi go over to handle the handover."
"Okay." Xia Ningxi prepared to leave.
Huo Nanxiao, however, grasped Xia Ningxi's wrist, a complex light gleaming in the depths of his dark eyes: "Where are you going?"
"Let's go home," Xia Ningxi said.
Huo Nanxiao's voice was deep: "A Yuan and Xingxing are getting used to staying at your place?"
“Yes, they all really like my home,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I won't be visiting the two children for the next few days."
"You should rest and recover."
Xia Ningxi didn't want Huo Nanxiao to go to her house either. The reason she came to Lanyuan to find him was to pass on a message from Tang En.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I have arranged for some people to go and protect the two children. If they sense any danger, they are to call me immediately."
Xia Ningxi knew very well that Huo Nanxiao, the richest man in the capital city, did not become rich out of thin air. Back then, he almost monopolized the entire industry by his own strength, which affected the interests of countless people, aroused public anger, and made countless people envious.
Therefore, in the past few years, Huo Nanxiao often encountered retaliation from his enemies.
Almost everyone closely associated with Huo Nanxiao received death threats. It took Huo Nanxiao several years to completely suppress those people, and only then did things stabilize for a few years.
Xia Ningxi said, "You take good care of your injury, and I will take good care of the two children."
"Um."
Huo Nanxiao gave a nonchalant reply and instructed the butler to escort Xia Ningxi home.
That evening, Yunting Group issued an announcement stating that Huo Nanxiao planned to register his marriage with Xia Wanwan three months later.
The moment this news was released, the entire capital city was in an uproar.
Outsiders who were originally paying attention to Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao's marriage were all dumbfounded. In no time, the news reports throughout the capital city were filled with the news.
Even Xia Luoluo, who had been feeling anxious lately, was shocked. She never dreamed that Huo Nanxiao would release these messages at such a crucial time.
Xia Ningxi hadn't read the news and didn't know anything about the matter. She took a taxi to the research center early in the morning to go to work.
He Yaxuan sneered, "Oh, isn't this the betrothed eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family? How come you're in the mood to come to work?"
Xia Ningxi snorted coldly: "You're quite the busybody."
He Yaxuan said, "Tsk tsk, you don't actually think that by clinging to Young Master Huo's coattails you can marry into the Huo family, do you? I heard you were staying with Young Master Huo a few days ago. What's the use? You were taken advantage of for nothing, and in the end you didn't even get a proper title. I heard that Young Master Huo will officially get married to Xia Wanwan in three months."
As soon as he said that, everyone in the research lab looked over.
One of my colleagues asked, "Really?"
He Yaxuan: "Of course it's true, Yunting Group has already issued an announcement."
"But isn't Young Master Huo already living with someone?" The colleague who said this glanced at Xia Ningxi discreetly.
He Yaxuan sneered: "Yes, some people think that by climbing into Young Master Huo's bed, they can become the eldest young mistress of the Huo family. Little do they know, he doesn't even treat them like human beings."
Everyone turned to look at Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi, however, appeared remarkably calm, quietly doing her work as usual, and leaving get off work on time.
When he got home, his three children were sitting in a row on the sofa waiting for him.
Chu Chu didn't know that Huo Nanxiao was her biological father, so she didn't have any emotions when she learned that Huo Nanxiao was going to register his marriage with Xia Wanwan. However, Huo Yuan and Xingxing knew that Huo Nanxiao was their father.
To be honest, although they liked Xia Ningxi very much, none of the children wanted to become children from a single-parent family.
They all hoped that Xia Ningxi and Huo Nanxiao would be alright.
However, when the two children accidentally saw news about Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan while watching TV, neither of them could laugh. They were very sad, and Huo Yuan even cried secretly for a long time because of this. At this moment, his eyes were red and he looked very pitiful.
"Mommy, is Daddy going to marry someone else?" Huo Yuan asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "I don't know."
Huo Yuan said, "I saw the news. They all say that Daddy will marry Wanwan's Mommy."
Xia Ningxi said, "A Yuan, your father is an adult. No one can stop him from marrying whomever he wants."
"But I hope Mommy can be with Daddy." Huo Yuan said, somewhat agitated.
Xia Ningxi said, "A Yuan, not everything in this world can go as you wish."
"Mommy, can we not let Daddy marry Wanwan Mommy?" Huo Yuan persisted.
Xia Ningxi said, "I can't control who he marries. All I can do is try to raise you three children by my side."
What can she do if Huo Nanxiao doesn't love her?
It took Xia Ningxi all her strength to win custody of the child.
How could she possibly make Huo Nanxiao give up Xia Wanwan?
That man wanted to marry Xia Wanwan from the very beginning, and even his own parents couldn't stop him. What right did Xia Ningxi have? She didn't think she could influence Huo Nanxiao's thoughts.
