Chapter 374 Can I Stay?
A woman's intuition is very accurate.
Zhou Fenglin clearly sensed that Huo Nanxiao's attitude towards Xia Ningxi was different from four years ago.
This time, they've really shot themselves in the foot.
Zhou Fenglin felt her face burning with embarrassment at the thought of Huo Nanxiao telling her to explain things to the media herself. She had already boasted to the wealthy socialites that everyone would come to her wedding banquet…
If I were to explain now that it was all a misunderstanding and tell them that Xia Wanwan has no plans to marry into the Huo family for the time being, they would definitely laugh at me mercilessly.
Zhou Fenglin felt ashamed just thinking about it.
"What should we do? Do I really have to go and clarify to the outside world that Wanwan is not going to marry into the Huo family?" Zhou Fenglin asked Xia Wenhe.
Xia Wenhe said, "That's probably what Huo Nanxiao meant."
Zhou Fenglin said, "But he personally promised to marry our Wanwan. Now he's the one who went back on his word. Why should I explain?"
Xia Wenhe said, "Do you dare let Huo Nanxiao clarify? What if he accidentally tells the media that Xia Ningxi is his wife? Do you know how big a commotion that would cause? Then we won't be able to arrange Wanwan and Huo Nanxiao's marriage anymore!"
Zhou Fenglin gritted his teeth: "Anyway, I don't care. What's said is said. My daughter is Huo Nanxiao's savior and the savior of the entire Huo family. How could Huo Nanxiao turn against Wanwan over something like this?"
Zhou Fenglin decided to give up entirely, since she was determined to exhaust herself by dealing with the Huo family anyway.
Her daughter must marry into the Huo family!
She's not going to bother explaining things to the media.
Xia Wanwan is the betrothed eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, and Huo Nanxiao is definitely going to marry her.
Zhou Fenglin didn't care, so Xia Wenhe could only spend money to remove the trending topics and headlines.
At this moment, Xia Ningxi was sitting in Huo Nanxiao's car, quietly playing with her phone.
She thought she would have to wait a long time, but Huo Nanxiao came out of the Xia family in less than half an hour.
Seeing Huo Nanxiao get into the car with a gloomy face, Xia Ningxi silently moved aside to make room for him.
"Can I go home now?" she asked.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Are you satisfied now?"
"Huh?" Xia Ningxi was completely confused.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I have already made it clear to the Xia family that A Yuan will be adopted into your family, and you will also have custody. Are you satisfied?"
Xia Ningxi frowned: "You brought me here today just for this?"
“Yes,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Ningxi said, "You can handle this kind of thing yourself, why did you bring me to the Xia family? You know they don't welcome me."
“I thought Xia Wenhe would have no objections,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Ningxi lowered her eyes and forced a smile: "He has never liked me since he was a child, how could he not have any objections?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "If I give you custody of the child, can you stay?"
Xia Ningxi was stumped by the question. Her clear eyes met Huo Nanxiao's, and a ripple of emotion stirred within her. She did not answer Huo Nanxiao's question, but silently fastened her seatbelt, leaned against the window, and looked at the scenery outside.
Huo Nanxiao didn't press Xia Ningxi for an answer and had the driver start the car to take them home.
The three children completely ignored Huo Nanxiao. Even though they saw Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi get out of the car together, they pretended not to see him, bypassed Huo Nanxiao, and ran to Xia Ningxi, one after another asking for a hug.
The three little ones were so enthusiastic that Xia Ningxi couldn't hold them all at once, so she could only hold two of them by the hand and drag one of them home.
Aunt Zhang greeted her with a smile: "Good afternoon, young mistress."
Xia Ningxi said, "Aunt Zhang, I'm thirsty, I'd like a glass of juice."
"Please wait a moment, young mistress." Aunt Zhang was very enthusiastic and quickly ran to make fresh juice.
Xia Ningxi finally managed to drag the three little ones into the front door, and she collapsed onto the sofa, exhausted.
Chu Chu asked, "Mommy, where did you go today? I miss you so much."
Xingxing said, "Mommy hasn't replied to my messages."
Huo Yuan said, "My mom didn't call me to say she missed me either."
Xia Ningxi looked at the three little bundles of joy clinging to her and said with a smile, "I've only been gone for a morning. If you're bored, you can go out and play. Don't worry too much about me."
Chu Chu said, "That won't do. Mommy left with the big bad guy. What if he sells you for money?"
As Huo Nanxiao stepped into the old house, he heard someone speaking ill of him, and his dark eyes instantly fell on the little boy with two braids.
Huo Nanxiao discovered that this little boy had a lot of opinions about him and would often speak ill of him.
Huo Nanxiao has been putting up with her for a long time!
The man walked to the opposite side of the mother and her daughters with a gloomy face and sat down.
He said nothing, but his innate nobility made him appear extremely cold, and the oppressive aura surrounding him was terrifying.
Xia Chuchu shrank back and instinctively hid next to Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi glared at Huo Nanxiao: "You scared Chu Chu."
Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "If you're so timid, you might as well sell it for money."
Xia Ningxi was taken aback.
Chu Chu was terrified by these words. She opened her eyes wide in horror, stared blankly at Huo Nanxiao, and finally burst into tears.
"Mommy, that bad uncle wants to sell me! Waaaaah, Mommy, he's a bad guy! Waaaaah..."
The little girl cried terribly, tears streaming down her face like a burst dam.
Xia Ningxi was at a loss and hugged Chu Chu to comfort her: "Chu Chu, don't be afraid. He's just trying to scare you. Mommy won't sell you."
"Waaah..." Chu Chu cried in a childish voice, looking extremely pitiful.
Huo Nanxiao hadn't expected this little girl to cry so easily. He frowned, wondering if he had been too harsh just now.
Oh well, since they're not my biological child anyway, let them cry if they want!
If Chu Chu isn't allowed to cry a little more, she'll really start to think of the Huo family as her own!
Huo Nanxiao watched Chu Chu cry her heart out without expression, but he remained unmoved.
Xingxing got angry, "Daddy is a big bad guy, I don't like Daddy anymore."
Huo Yuan said, "Daddy must apologize to Chu Chu."
Xingxing said, "That's right, Daddy apologizes."
Huo Nanxiao asked, "Whose sons are you?"
Xingxing said, "Anyway, he's not your son."
Huo Nanxiao felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat, he was so angry at his precious son.
