Chapter 357 Ask him yourself
Xia Wanwan was puzzled by Huo Nanxiao's seriousness. She had been focusing on recuperating in the hospital these days, and Huo Nanxiao was worried about her and almost never allowed strangers to get close. Xia Wanwan was completely unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
Xia Wanwan was a little puzzled when she suddenly saw Huo Nanxiao looking so serious, because Huo Nanxiao had been busy with work these days. Even when he came to the hospital, he would only glance at her briefly before leaving immediately. The two of them rarely had a chance to exchange more than a few words.
Huo Nanxiao's sudden request to talk to her today was indeed a bit of a surprise to her, but it also filled her with anticipation.
Xia Wanwan asked, "Have the doctor's tests come back yet? They've done a lot of tests on me recently, is there anything wrong?"
"I haven't seen the results yet," Huo Nanxiao denied.
Xia Wanwan asked, "What is it? Does this have anything to do with me?"
"Hmm," Huo Nanxiao replied calmly.
Xia Wanwan was even more puzzled: "Is it something to do with my family? By the way, I haven't seen Luo Luo lately. Could something have happened to her?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "You need to rest now and it's not convenient for anyone to disturb you."
Xia Wanwan replied with a smile, "I'm recovering quite well now, don't worry, I'm fine. The doctor even said today that my complexion has improved a lot, and after a while, I might be able to get out of bed and walk around."
"That's good." Huo Nanxiao said calmly.
Xia Wanwan sensed that Huo Nanxiao was preoccupied and asked, "Nanxiao, what do you want to talk to me about? Is someone here to see me?"
"Xia Ningxi is outside the door. Do you want to see her?" Huo Nanxiao asked seriously.
When Xia Wanwan heard Xia Ningxi's name, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but her sickly face showed no emotion.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Your surgery was successful entirely because of her. If you don't want to see her, then forget it."
Xia Wanwan laughed and said, "Nan Xiao, you're being a bit biased. You wouldn't even allow my parents to come see me. But Ning Xi is my sister too. It's a good thing she wants to come see me, so why wouldn't I want to see her?"
Xia Wanwan acted very generously and welcomed Xia Ningxi very much, which made Huo Nanxiao hesitate for a moment. In the end, he decided to let Xia Ningxi in to meet her.
Xia Ningxi didn't really want to see Xia Wanwan. For Xia Ningxi, as long as Xia Wanwan woke up, her mission would be complete, and the two would never cross paths again. If it weren't for the fact that Huo Yuan's household registration was under Xia Wanwan's name, and if it weren't for Huo Yuan, Xia Ningxi wouldn't have been willing to step into the ward at all.
She thought Huo Nanxiao was a lunatic, that he must be out of his mind to let her see Xia Wanwan.
But Xia Ningxi couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and push open the door to the ward.
The ward smelled strongly of disinfectant. For some reason, the moment Xia Ningxi stepped into the ward, an invisible pressure swept over her.
This should be the first time we've officially met since Xia Wanwan's incident, all these years ago.
Xia Ningxi's feelings were very complicated. She simply greeted Xia Wanwan politely, "Long time no see."
Xia Wanwan smiled broadly, looking just like a kind older sister, and said softly, "Ning Xi, it's been a long time."
Her clean and gentle voice was like the warbling of orioles and the chirping of wild geese in March—gentle and pleasant to hear.
Xia Wanwan is an extremely gentle person. Even though she has been bedridden for many years and has long lost the graceful and charming beauty of her youth, her every smile and frown is still as gentle as before, so gentle that no one can feel any aggression towards her. It is as if speaking loudly in front of such a weak person would be an offense to her.
Faced with such a person, Xia Ningxi was momentarily at a loss for words.
Xia Wanwan asked her gently, "I heard that you performed the surgery on me to help me wake up this time?"
“Mm,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Xia Wanwan said, "You are so outstanding. I am so proud of you. I never imagined that my little sister Ningxi would grow into such an excellent doctor after so many years. I never dared to dream of this before. You are truly my pride. Thank you."
Xia Ningxi said, "The people you should thank are Tang En's team; they are the ones who have made the greatest contribution."
"Yes, I know. They've taken very good care of me during this time. I'll thank them properly when I have time." Xia Wanwan nodded, sincerely expressing her gratitude, before noticing that Xia Ningxi was sitting quite far away from her.
Xia Wanwan said, "Ning Xi, come, sit here with your older sister."
Xia Ningxi felt a little uncomfortable, but she still went over.
Xia Wanwan, like a kind older sister, gently held Xia Ningxi's hand and said with a smile, "Ningxi, you've become much more beautiful after all these years."
"Thank you for the compliment." Xia Ningxi's attitude was very cold.
Xia Wanwan noticed and asked, "Don't you want to talk to me?"
Xia Ningxi said, "Your surgery was just successful, you need to rest and shouldn't overexert yourself."
"It's alright, I've been resting these past few days and I'm recovering very well. Talking a bit more won't hurt. Why did you come with Nan Xiao today? Nan Xiao is really something, if he hadn't told me today, I wouldn't have known that Tang En was the doctor you invited, let alone that I was able to wake up. You deserve so much credit, thank you." Xia Wanwan was very grateful.
But Xia Ningxi felt a mix of emotions upon hearing these words. Shouldn't Xia Wanwan bring up what happened back then when she saw her? She had been in a coma for so long, wasn't she at all interested in why she had become a vegetable?
Xia Ningxi said, "I saved you only because of my promise to Huo Nanxiao, nothing else."
"What agreement did you two make? Nan Xiao, did you bully Ning Xi? Let me tell you, she's my sister. You can't bully her, or I'll get angry."
Xia Wanwan glared at Huo Nanxiao, feigning anger. Her coquettish and natural tone made it seem as if there was no distance between them, and they were no longer distinguished as one another.
It seemed that they were the truly devoted couple, which was why Xia Wanwan spoke to Huo Nanxiao in such a playful yet fearless tone.
However, Xia Wanwan was unaware that Xia Ningxi was Huo Nanxiao's wife.
When asked by Xia Wanwan, Huo Nanxiao pondered for a moment and then said, "This is between her and me, and it's not convenient for me to tell you."
"Nan Xiao, you're actually treating me like an outsider." Xia Wanwan wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and held Xia Ningxi's hand tightly, gently asking her, "Ningxi, tell me, what agreement did you two make? Did Nan Xiao bring you here today because he has something to tell me? I didn't even know you two were so close."
Xia Ningxi said, "You've been in a coma for so many years, so naturally you don't know anything. As for my relationship with Huo Nanxiao, you should ask him yourself."
