Chapter 347 I'll Fight You to the Death
Xia Ningxi didn't have anything to say to Huo Nanxiao. Seeing that Huo Nanxiao was locked out by the children, she knew that they didn't want to see him, and she felt the same way.
It was only because Huo Yuan was more used to this place that Xia Ningxi brought the child back with Huo Nanxiao.
She took the pastries from Huo Nanxiao and said, "I'll take them in. You can go now."
Huo Nanxiao said, "They are angry with me."
"knew."
Xia Ningxi's tone was very indifferent, and she had no intention of speaking up for Huo Nanxiao. She was extremely cold.
Anyone could see that Xia Ningxi didn't want to pay him any attention.
Huo Nanxiao was a self-aware man. He could tell from Xia Ningxi's cold tone that she was dissatisfied with him. He wanted to explain, but Xia Ningxi had already taken the plate of snacks from his hands and walked past him.
Xia Ningxi knocked on the door: "Xingxing, it's me, open the door."
Upon hearing Xia Ningxi's voice, Xingxing immediately opened the door: "Mommy, you're here."
Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "I brought you some delicious food, do you want some?"
Chu Chu exclaimed with delight, "Wow, it's my favorite rabbit cake!"
Xingxing said, "Mommy, come in quickly."
The little guy simply closed the door.
Huo Nanxiao was left standing outside the door, listening to the sound of the door being locked from the inside, and sighed helplessly.
The butler could tell that Huo Nanxiao was in a very complicated mood, so he took the initiative to comfort him: "Young Master Huo, the young master and the others are probably feeling resentful. Once they calm down, they will talk to you again."
Huo Nanxiao said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
The housekeeper said, "What you did this time was indeed a bit excessive. No matter what, the young master and the others are your children, and the eldest young mistress has never done anything to wrong you. Xia Wanwan isn't actually that good either. Even if she saved your life, you can't sacrifice the happiness of several children, can you?"
"Young Master and the others actually love you very much, but this time you have really hurt their hearts."
No matter who it happened to, they could never forgive Huo Nanxiao.
Xia Ningxi has suffered enough grievances over the years, but now Huo Nanxiao is making his children suffer the same grievances. How could they not be angry?
Children's thinking is very simple: if Daddy doesn't like them, they'll just not like Daddy either.
"Young Master Huo, the more you care about Miss Wanwan, the greater the harm to the two children. They are both the young mistress's children and they both hope to have a healthy and happy family. What you are doing not only hurts the young mistress but also your children. You should think about it carefully."
If it were anyone else, they certainly wouldn't dare to say a bad word about Xia Wanwan, but the butler has been serving Huo Nanxiao for more than ten years, and he wouldn't speak ill of others unless he couldn't help it.
Huo Nanxiao remained silent, offering no further explanation regarding Xia Wanwan's situation.
Hearing the sounds of the little one playing inside the room, Huo Nanxiao's mood sank to the bottom, and he went downstairs alone.
Huo Nanxiao had many things to deal with at the company, but he postponed them all. He stayed at home and instructed the kitchen to prepare Xia Ningxi's and the children's favorite dishes. He also had the kitchen prepare Chu Chu's favorite dishes.
He thought that Xia Ningxi would definitely bring the child downstairs to eat at noon.
I wonder if they've been eating well these days.
Huo Nanxiao wanted to ask Xia Ningxi something, but he didn't know where to begin.
Xia Ningxi was unusually calm after returning from Li Yancheng's place. Huo Nanxiao originally thought that Xia Ningxi would be frightened and would need several days to recover, but in fact, she was not.
Xia Ningxi acted as if nothing was wrong, refusing to tell Huo Nanxiao what kind of life she was living with Li Yancheng.
After waiting downstairs for nearly two hours without Xia Ningxi bringing the children down, Huo Nanxiao became restless. Just then, the kitchen prepared lunch, giving Huo Nanxiao an excuse to go find Xia Ningxi. He knocked on the door again.
This time, it was Xia Ningxi who opened the door, catching Huo Nanxiao off guard and leaving him speechless for a moment.
"Is something the matter?" Xia Ningxi asked.
As usual, Huo Nanxiao asked in an extremely indifferent tone, "Lunch is ready. Let the children come downstairs and have something to eat."
Xia Ningxi said, "They're asleep. They'll eat when they wake up."
"Asleep? So quickly?" Huo Nanxiao was surprised. He glanced into the room and wanted to go in.
Xia Ningxi gripped the door tightly, not intending to let Huo Nanxiao in. She said, "The children are already asleep. Your entry now will disturb them. I said we can have lunch later. If you have nothing else to do, please leave."
This is practically an order to leave.
Huo Nanxiao's arrogant temper would have made him leave without looking back at any other time, but he didn't leave at this moment. He knew that Xia Ningxi seemed very cold and decisive, but in reality, she was not feeling well.
And the cause of all this is oneself.
Feeling guilty, Huo Nanxiao asked, "You haven't suffered these past few days, have you?"
Xia Ningxi's hand, which was closing the door, froze. She gave a bitter smile: "Whether I suffer or not is not important. What's important is that the children have suffered because of me. Huo Nanxiao, you are the children's father. You should protect them, but what have you been doing these past few days?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "I have been looking for you."
Xia Ningxi: "Then why do you go to Ninghai Hospital every day?"
"Ning Xi, when I discuss this with you, can we please not involve other people?" Huo Nanxiao said unhappily.
Xia Ningxi felt bitter. It turned out that she still wasn't qualified to mention Xia Wanwan in front of Huo Nanxiao. Oh well, she was already heartbroken anyway, so why bother caring so much?
Xia Ningxi forced a smile: "Whatever."
She prepared to close the door.
Huo Nanxiao blocked with one hand and said in a low voice, "Xia Ningxi, we need to talk again."
Xia Ningxi said, "Everything that needs to be said has been said. We have nothing to talk about. Don't worry, once A Yuan's condition improves, I will take the child away and will definitely not disturb you and Xia Wanwan's time together again."
Huo Nanxiao was furious: "When did I ever say I wanted to spend some time alone with her?"
Xia Ningxi said, "I'm divorcing you just to make room for her, right? Or are you willing to tell everyone, to tell Xia Wanwan, that I'm your wife? If you can't do these things, then what are we talking about? Do you intend to take the child away from me again?"
When the topic of the child came up, Huo Nanxiao decided not to hide it any longer, saying, "I think it's safer for the child to stay with me."
Xia Ningxi's stunningly beautiful face instantly changed color: "What do you mean?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "To ensure their safety, they must stay with the Huo family from now on."
"Are you planning to go back on your word?!" Xia Ningxi was very angry.
Huo Nanxiao said, "If you want your children to grow up safely, you must keep them in the Huo family."
Leave the child with the Huo family?
Are you kidding me!
Xia Ningxi said angrily, "You're wrong. Once you're dead, no one will use my child to blackmail you anymore. If you dare to take my child from me, I'll fight you to the death."
