Chapter 389 I Can Go Even Further
The email was simple, informing Xia Ningxi that she had passed the first round of screening and that St. Petersburg Hospital in Deslao invited her to come for an in-person interview.
"Mommy, this is an invitation from St. Petersburg Hospital!" Xingxing was overjoyed to find an invitation at the very bottom of the email.
Chu Chu exclaimed, "Wow, Mommy is so amazing!"
Huo Yuan asked in confusion, "Is Mommy going to work there?"
Xingxing said, "Of course! This hospital is the most famous in Texas, and the treatment is excellent!"
Huo Yuan was somewhat saddened: "Then does that mean Mommy has to leave the capital?"
Xingxing smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mommy will definitely take us with her when she goes abroad for work. You'll be going to Texas with me and my sister. We'll rent a bigger house then and set aside a room just for you to play with your building blocks, okay?"
Huo Yuan's face fell. "Fine, no matter what, I'm going to stay with Mommy."
"Brother Huo Yuan, you don't need to worry," Chu Chu said sweetly. "We will always stay by Mommy's side. No one can separate us."
Holding the invitation in her hand, Xia Ningxi finally felt a huge weight lifted from her heart.
These past few days she has been waiting for news from abroad. As long as they accept her, she can leave the capital with her child.
She was happy, but she could also tell that Huo Yuan was very uneasy. Xia Ningxi knew that Huo Yuan had never been abroad, so it was normal for him to be afraid.
Xia Ningxi gently comforted Huo Yuan: "A Yuan, don't be afraid, Mommy will protect you."
"Yes, I believe Mommy." Huo Yuan nodded emphatically.
Xia Ningxi smiled and ruffled Huo Yuan's hair, saying, "Mommy's in a good mood today, how about I treat you three little ones out for milk tea?"
"Yay! Yay!" Xingxing jumped up happily.
Chu Chu said, "Mommy, Mommy, I want to drink strawberry milk pudding!"
Huo Yuan: "I...I don't know, I'll just order whatever."
Chu Chu pouted and said, "Brother Huo Yuan, you can't be too greedy. Milk tea is expensive. You can only choose one."
Huo Yuan exclaimed "Ah!" and said with a flushed face, "Then I want strawberry milk jelly too, just like Chu Chu."
Xia Ningxi said with a smile, "You can drink whatever you want, Mommy's treating."
The three little ones were overjoyed and decided not to go upstairs anymore. Instead, they turned around and prepared to go out with Xia Ningxi.
The three little ones completely ignored the fact that Huo Nanxiao was still in the house, acting as if they didn't even see him, and ran off to change their shoes.
Seeing that Xia Ningxi, who had just returned home, was about to take the three children out again, the housekeeper quickly asked, "Is Young Madam going out?"
"Okay, go and prepare a car for me," Xia Ningxi said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the butler subconsciously glanced at Huo Nanxiao in the distance.
Just then, Huo Nanxiao, who had been silent all along, stood up from the sofa and coldly asked her, "We just got home, where are you taking the child again?"
Xia Ningxi said, "I want to take the kids to get some dessert."
Huo Nanxiao said, "What would you like to eat? Tell the kitchen to make it."
"Daddy, we want to go out for milk tea, we don't have any at home," Xingxing explained.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Daddy will order you some takeout."
"No, there's a five-yuan delivery fee for takeout!" Chu Chu quickly refused.
Huo Nanxiao's lips twitched. This little girl is really stingy!
Huo Nanxiao didn't want Xia Ningxi to take the children out. With a cold face, he asked Xia Ningxi, "We'll be eating soon. If you take the children out for milk tea now, they won't eat when we get back."
Xia Ningxi said, "It's okay, we'll just grab something to eat outside and won't have dinner at home."
She was quite happy, with a faint smile on her face. She was so happy to be able to leave the Huo family and the capital city.
Huo Nanxiao suppressed a surge of anger. "Wasn't the lesson from last time enough? If something were to happen to the child again, could you afford the responsibility?"
“I live near home, I don’t go too far,” Xia Ningxi explained.
Huo Nanxiao said, "No. What would you like to drink? I'll have someone buy it."
When the butler heard Huo Nanxiao say that, he didn't dare to arrange a car for Xia Ningxi.
The three little ones looked at Xia Ningxi with great anxiety.
Xia Ningxi asked Huo Nanxiao, "What if I insist on taking the child out?"
Huo Nanxiao: "You can leave, but the child can't."
Xia Ningxi was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.
Xingxing noticed that the two were not in a good mood and was afraid that they would start arguing, so she left and said, "Mommy, we can order takeout. We've been playing outside all day and I'm a little tired. I don't want to go out anymore, and neither do you, brother and sister."
Huo Yuan quickly agreed, "Xingxing is right, let's order takeout."
Chu Chu pouted and said, "But we have to pay for delivery, that's such a rip-off! No way, bad uncle, pay for it!"
Huo Nanxiao snorted and went straight to the most popular milk tea shop, ordering one of every milk tea in the shop. In the end, the shopkeeper delivered the milk tea in a small car. There were thirty or forty cups in total, which filled the table.
Xingxing and Chuchu's eyes widened in surprise. They had never seen anyone order milk tea like that before!
Chu Chu asked in her sweet, childlike voice, "Brother Xingxing, is this for us to drink?"
Xingxing swallowed hard: "I don't think so!"
There's so much! Even if you hung the three siblings up and drank it for three days and three nights, they still wouldn't be able to finish it!
What is Daddy trying to do?
Xingxing looked at Huo Nanxiao, her small eyes filled with great doubt.
"Who just said they wanted a drink?" Huo Nanxiao looked down at the three little ones.
Xingxing and Chuchu swallowed hard.
Huo Yuan quietly took out four cups, leaving the remaining thirty cups of milk tea for Huo Nanxiao.
"Daddy, we'll just have these four cups. Daddy can drink the rest."
Chu Chu and Xing Xing nodded repeatedly and quickly took their cups of milk tea.
Qin Weiqian looked at the table piled high with milk tea and asked Huo Nanxiao, "Are you going to drink this all by yourself?"
"I won't drink," Huo Nanxiao replied coldly.
Xia Ningxi said, "Then why did you order so much?"
Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly: "I'm afraid you'll keep making excuses to take my child out."
Xia Ningxi was speechless. She found that Huo Nanxiao was extremely generous when he shouldn't be, and extremely stingy when he should be!
Apart from bringing her child to Xia Wanwan's sight today, she hasn't done anything to offend Feng Jiuzhi, has she?
Xia Ningxi said, "Don't worry, I cherish my child more than you do. I will leave with the child in a few days and will never let your Xia Wanwan see my child again."
Huo Nanxiao's handsome face darkened, and a cold glint appeared in his deep eyes: "Where are you taking the child?"
Xia Ningxi placed the invitation letter on the table: "I have received an interview invitation from St. Petersburg Hospital. This time, I am also taking my child with me to Desla. If all goes well, we will settle in Desla and will no longer affect you and Xia Wanwan."
"Then, you can do whatever you want. Xia Wanwan doesn't seem like someone who likes children; at least, I can tell she doesn't like my child."
Huo Nanxiao stared at the invitation, his anger burning fiercely within him.
He was furious!
This woman really did want to leave the capital with her child!
He looked at the date on the invitation. Half a month ago, this woman had already made preparations. She really went to great lengths to leave with her child.
Huo Nanxiao tore Xia Ningxi's invitation to shreds.
Xia Ningxi yelled, "Why did you tear it apart!"
She rushed over to stop him, but it was too late. Huo Nanxiao tore the invitation to shreds and threw it into the trash can.
“The child must stay in the capital; you don’t need to go abroad to work,” Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
Xia Ningxi trembled with rage. She shouted, "Huo Nanxiao, are you crazy? This is my business, why are you meddling in other people's affairs! You owe me the invitation!"
Huo Nanxiao sneered: "I've made myself perfectly clear. Can't you understand human language?"
Xia Ningxi slapped him angrily.
The entire Lanyuan Garden was completely silent!
Everyone was shocked by Xia Ningxi's actions.
No one expected that Xia Ningxi would actually make a move against Huo Nanxiao!
Everyone froze, staring wide-eyed at the scene. The three children stood motionless, completely stunned.
In the end, it was the housekeeper who reacted first, and without saying a word, he carried the three children upstairs.
Huo Nanxiao wasn't angry at all after being slapped by Xia Ningxi. He smiled indifferently, a cruel smile appearing on his impeccable face. He stared dangerously at Xia Ningxi's beautiful face and asked, "Do you know what you're doing?"
Xia Ningxi was furious and completely unaffected by Huo Nanxiao's threats!
She had finally received the invitation. If she could pass this interview, she could take her child and leave the capital city to a place where she could find refuge.
But it was ruined by that bastard Huo Nanxiao!
Xia Ningxi grew angrier the more she thought about it, and grabbed a cushion from the side and threw it at Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao looked at the crazed woman in front of him and angrily grabbed her hand.
"Are you crazy?" Huo Nanxiao roared.
Xia Ningxi said, "I'm crazy! Do you know how important this invitation is to me? Do you know that St. Petersburg Hospital is one of the top ten hospitals in the world? If I can work there, my child's future will be secured. You're not only ruining me, but also ruining your own child!"
Xia Ningxi was absolutely furious!
Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "I've said it before, the child stays in the capital and is not allowed to go anywhere else."
"That's not what you promised me!" Xia Ningxi roared.
Huo Nanxiao looked at the woman in front of him who was almost going crazy, and slowly tightened his grip on her wrist, saying word by word, "I have already agreed to give you the children to raise. Staying in the capital city and living under my nose is the greatest freedom I can give you."
"Liar!" Xia Ningxi cursed.
Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "Xia Ningxi, don't go too far."
"I'm going too far? Ha, I can go even further!" Enraged, Xia Ningxi pounced on Huo Nanxiao and started scratching him wildly.
