Chapter 362 His face hurt when he slapped me.
Xia Ningxi walked to Chu Chu's side, bent down and picked up the frightened Chu Chu, and said to Huo Nanxiao, "Who told you to scare Chu Chu like that? She thinks you're a bad person, that's why she hits you. If she hits you, you have to take it. Chu Chu doesn't hit just anyone."
Huo Nanxiao's handsome face twitched. He wasn't particularly angry at first, but after hearing Xia Ningxi's words, he became furious. This woman was increasingly disregarding him!
"Keep an eye on your daughter!" Huo Nanxiao said, his face dark as he went into the kitchen.
Watching Huo Nanxiao's departing figure, Huo Yuan whispered, "Mommy, Daddy's face looks red."
Xingxing said, "It's not just a little bit swollen, it's a bit swollen. Chuchu, you're so strong!"
Chu Chu muttered to herself, "No wonder my hand hurts so much. Oh no, he hit my face and hurt me. I have to pay him back!"
Xia Ningxi was both amused and exasperated, and tapped Chu Chu's little head: "You should be grateful that Huo Nanxiao isn't causing you trouble. How dare you ask him for compensation? What on earth is going on in your little head?"
Chu Chu said pitifully, "But my hand hurts."
Xia Ningxi said, "Mommy will blow on it for you."
"Okay." Chu Chu smiled sweetly and immediately stretched out her little hand to Xia Ningxi.
When Huo Nanxiao came out of the kitchen, his face was still red. The housekeeper and the servants noticed, but they didn't dare to say anything. However, seeing the bruise on Huo Nanxiao's face, they all found it very funny and tried their best to suppress their laughter.
Huo Nanxiao walked up to Xia Ningxi and asked, "Is there anything you particularly want to eat tonight?"
"I'm fine with anything." Xia Ningxi wasn't picky about food.
Huo Nanxiao's gaze shifted to his two sons.
Huo Yuan and Xingxing both said they would eat whatever was available.
Chu Chu raised her little hand and said, "I want to eat seafood porridge, and I want a super, super big crab."
"Hmph." Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly, still angry with Chu Chu.
Chu Chu originally wanted to order a few dishes, but in the end she swallowed back the words she was about to say, and drew circles on the sofa with her little hand: "You stingy person."
Huo Nanxiao's handsome face darkened even more. Without even glancing at Chu Chu, he said to the housekeeper, "Have the kitchen make seafood porridge and chop all the crabs into pieces and put them in her bowl."
"Yes, Young Master Huo, I'll go arrange it right away." The butler quickly went into the kitchen.
Huo Nanxiao questioned Xia Chuchu: "Who's the stingy one?"
Chu Chu continued drawing circles with her little hands: "I wasn't talking about you."
Huo Nanxiao's anger subsided somewhat, but he still looked terrifying, fierce and somewhat frightening.
Chu Chu could only tug at Xia Ningxi's clothes with a pitiful expression and hide behind her.
Xia Ningxi glared at Huo Nanxiao and said, "Don't scare the child."
Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly, turned around and went upstairs.
After Huo Nanxiao left, Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief. She thought Huo Nanxiao was going to continue to make things difficult for Chu Chu, but she didn't expect that this bastard had some conscience and didn't make things difficult for a little girl.
However, Chu Chu is indeed quite bold. She dared to hit Huo Nanxiao even though she clearly saw him. This little girl is truly fearless.
Xia Ningxi reminded Chu Chu, "Chu Chu, you must never lay a hand on Huo Nanxiao again."
At first, I was puzzled: "Why?"
"Because Huo Nanxiao is a big tiger, he'll bite you when he gets angry," Xia Ningxi explained.
Chu Chu tilted her head and thought for a long time: "Okay, then I won't hit him anymore. He didn't give me any money, and my hand still hurts."
Xia Ningxi smiled and gently rubbed Chu Chu's little hand.
Xingxing couldn't help but ask, "Mommy, we've already visited Xia Wanwan at the hospital today, does that mean we can leave now?"
Huo Yuan also looked expectant.
Xia Ningxi said, "It's not clear yet."
The stars asked, puzzled, "Can't we leave?"
"It depends on Huo Nanxiao's opinion. I'll ask him later," Xia Ningxi replied.
She didn't really understand what Huo Nanxiao was thinking at this moment. Today's trip to the hospital, apart from checking on Xia Wanwan's physical condition, had yielded no progress, and Xia Ningxi had no idea what Huo Nanxiao was thinking.
She asked the housekeeper to take the three children to play in the yard, and then went upstairs herself.
The study was brightly lit, and Huo Nanxiao was working inside.
Xia Ningxi pushed open the door and entered.
Huo Nanxiao didn't look up at her and continued working.
Xia Ningxi walked to the opposite side of Huo Nanxiao and sat down.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "What is it?"
"What did you talk about with Xia Wanwan today?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Huo Nanxiao's eyes sharpened: "Why are you asking this?"
Xia Ningxi asked, "When can my child and I leave here?"
"Now is not the time," Huo Nanxiao replied casually.
Xia Ningxi frowned: "Give me an exact time."
Huo Nanxiao looked at her very seriously: "Are you in such a hurry to leave me?"
“It’s not good for me and the child to stay in the capital. Since you’ve already told Xia Wanwan about A Yuan’s existence, we can transfer A Yuan’s household registration to my name.” Xia Ningxi said, seizing the opportunity.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Even if A Yuan wants to change his household registration, he will still be registered in the Huo family."
Xia Ningxi said, "You wouldn't be trying to take the child from me, would you?"
“I won’t fight you for the child. If you want the child, I can give him to you, but I only promised that the child could go with you. I did not agree to you transferring A Yuan’s household registration with him.” Huo Nanxiao’s attitude was very firm.
Xia Ningxi said, "Foreign laws are very strict, and the protection of children is extremely rigorous. If A Yuan is not registered in my name, it will be very troublesome after he goes abroad. If someone with ulterior motives reports him, A Yuan may be treated as a trafficked child and sent to an orphanage. What you are doing is clearly harming him."
Huo Nanxiao: "Then you shouldn't take the child abroad. If you stay in the capital, no one will dare to send him to an orphanage."
Xia Ningxi slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "What do you mean?!"
"It means you should continue living in the capital with the child and not go anywhere else." Huo Nanxiao's voice was calm, powerful, and crisp.
Xia Ningxi's face darkened: "Why should I listen to you?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "Then I'll let A Yuan continue to stay under Xia Wanwan's name."
"You dare threaten me? Huo Nanxiao, you bastard! You promised me so readily before, and now you're resorting to underhanded tricks. Are you even a man?!" Xia Ningxi was so angry that she picked up the documents on his desk and threw a whole bunch of them at Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao grasped Xia Ningxi's wrist and said, "I didn't say you can't leave, but if you want to transfer A Yuan's household registration, you have to stay."
"Is this any different from not letting me take the child with me?" Xia Ningxi asked angrily.
Huo Nanxiao said, "There is a difference. If you stay, A Yuan can be yours."
Xia Ningxi trembled all over; she had finally witnessed Huo Nanxiao's shameless nature!
Huo Yuan is her child. She can take the child wherever she wants. Why should she agree to Huo Nanxiao's conditions?
That bastard probably realized Xia Wanwan couldn't have children and deliberately let the child stay.
