Chapter 406 The Gift from Huo Nanxiao
After buying the gifts, Huo Nanxiao felt it wasn't enough, so he bought some snacks for all three children. This seemed to have become a habit for Huo Nanxiao; every time he came back from going out, he liked to bring all kinds of food for the children, and he brought something different almost every day.
The three children initially disliked Huo Nanxiao, especially since he treated Xia Ningxi so badly. Their resentment towards Huo Nanxiao intensified. However, every time Huo Nanxiao returned, he would bring the children all sorts of snacks and gifts, making it difficult for the three children not to like him.
Seeing that Huo Nanxiao had brought back a lot of food, the three children ran up to him happily.
"Daddy, Daddy, what are you carrying in your hand?" Huo Yuan asked curiously.
Xingxing blinked her big eyes: "Did Daddy buy fruit coconut jelly?"
"You're so smart." Huo Nanxiao smiled and handed the food to the three children.
Chu Chu originally wanted to go with her two older brothers to share the food, but she noticed someone carrying something outside the door. It looked very heavy, so Chu Chu stopped.
"What is that?" The little guy was shocked by the enormous thing.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Go and see for yourself."
Chu Chu was initially skeptical, but she winked at Xia Ningxi and asked, "Mommy, is that a gift for me? It looks so big! What is it?"
“Go and see for yourself,” Xia Ningxi said.
"I'll go take a look!" Chu Chu ran over with her short little legs.
The housekeeper saw that the worker almost stepped on Chu Chu and quickly ran over to stop her: "Miss Chu Chu, be careful."
"What is this?" Chu Chu asked curiously.
The butler said, "Miss Chuchu will find out for herself in a little while."
Chu Chu became even more curious.
She saw the workers busily and with great effort carrying the things inside.
The piano had a lid. Chu Chu ran over excitedly, lifted it up, and took a closer look. It turned out to be a piano!
Chu Chu's eyes lit up: "Mommy, is this for me?"
Xia Ningxi said, "Yes, it's for Chuchu. Take a look and see if you like it."
Chu Chu was overjoyed. "I love it! I love it so much! But I can't play the piano."
Huo Nanxiao said, "I will find you a tutor to teach you."
"That's great, thank you, Uncle." Chu Chu's eyes crinkled with laughter, her small, rosy face was incredibly cute.
Huo Nanxiao was initially reluctant to buy expensive gifts for the little girl, after all, she wasn't his biological child, and he wasn't generous enough to accept someone else's child. But for some reason, seeing Chu Chu so happy made Huo Nanxiao feel good.
Huo Yuan and Xingxing, the two older brothers, were also very curious about Chu Chu's gift, but they were even more curious about what their own gift was!
The two little ones hurriedly opened their gifts, only to find two very strange game controllers and a large screen.
Huo Yuan asked curiously, "What is this?"
“I know, it’s a game console!” Xingxing said.
Huo Yuan looked delighted: "Really? Daddy, does this mean we can play games?"
“That must be it!” Xingxing nodded, suddenly realizing that her daddy was quite good to them.
The three little ones were very happy after receiving their gifts, and their attitude towards Huo Nanxiao naturally improved a lot.
Huo Nanxiao was in a great mood and turned to get the snacks he had bought for the three little ones from the car.
The three children liked Huo Nanxiao even more!
Everyone was incredibly happy. (Reading in the dark)
Xia Ningxi saw all of this and could feel how much Huo Nanxiao valued the children. Seeing that the three children showed great affection for Huo Nanxiao, Xia Ningxi was also very happy.
"These are for you." After handing three small food boxes to the child, Huo Nanxiao handed a large bag to Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi noticed that the packaging was different from the children's and asked, "What is this?"
"Milk tea," Huo Nanxiao replied calmly.
Xia Ningxi blinked, opened it, and sure enough, it was milk tea. However, there was another box inside.
It was a small, square box, and it looked very delicate.
"Huh?"
Xia Ningxi opened the box and found a very beautiful gemstone necklace inside. It was an extremely rare chrysoberyl cat's-eye necklace, and the best quality ones were priceless and extremely precious.
Although Xia Ningxi was not born into a wealthy or prestigious family, she had been the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family for two years and had seen this kind of thing before. This kind of top-quality item was estimated to be worth close to eight figures.
But this was the first time Huo Nanxiao had given Xia Ningxi such an expensive gift, and she even suspected that Huo Nanxiao had given her the wrong one.
When she turned around to ask Huo Nanxiao, she found that he had disappeared without a trace.
"Mommy, what gift did Daddy give you?" Xingxing asked curiously.
Xia Ningxi said, "It's a necklace."
"Is it pretty? Mommy, can I see it?" Xingxing craned her neck, very curious.
Xia Ningxi smiled and handed the box to Xingxing.
Xingxing exclaimed enviously, "It's so beautiful! Mommy, this rock is so pretty!"
Huo Yuan asked, "What is this? Why is it so beautiful?"
“These are gemstones, so the colors will be quite vibrant,” Xia Ningxi explained.
Chu Chu also came closer, attracted by the beautiful gemstone. She asked curiously, "Mommy, is it valuable?"
“It’s valuable, very expensive.” Xia Ningxi nodded.
Chu Chu: "How much is it worth?"
"I'm not quite sure either, but I estimate it would cost eight figures." Xia Ningxi didn't know how much Huo Nanxiao had spent on it, so she could only make a bold guess.
Chu Chu counted on her little fingers, "Eight figures is eight yuan, that's so stingy, so incredibly stingy! How could that bad uncle give Mommy such a cheap gift? He's shameless, I'm going to draw a circle and curse him."
Xia Ningxi said, "Eight figures doesn't mean eight dollars. What I mean is, it could be tens of millions."
"How much is tens of millions?" Chu Chu had no concept of such a large sum of money.
Xia Ningxi said, "It can probably fill a thousand piggy banks."
"Wow, this is so valuable!" Chu Chu immediately became cautious.
The three little ones were very envious, and Xia Ningxi also felt an indescribable joy. After all, Huo Nanxiao had never been so good to her before, and this sudden gift really surprised her.
Looking around but not seeing Huo Nanxiao, Xia Ningxi asked the butler, "Where is Huo Nanxiao?"
"Young Master Huo has returned to his study," the butler replied.
Xia Ningxi left the three children downstairs and took the gifts upstairs herself.
Huo Nanxiao was on the phone with someone, and Xia Ningxi didn't go in when she heard the noise.
Huo Nanxiao also noticed Xia Ningxi, and he immediately hung up the phone.
"Why are you here?" the man asked.
Xia Ningxi asked, "Are you busy?"
"No," Huo Nanxiao said seriously, "What do you want from me?"
Xia Ningxi went inside and placed the gift Huo Nanxiao had given her on the table: "Here you go."
Huo Nanxiao looked displeased: "You don't like it?"
“It’s too valuable, I can’t accept it,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "This is worthless."
Xia Ningxi asked, "I can tell it's expensive, so I don't want it."
Huo Nanxiao got angry: "If you don't like it, just throw it away."
Xia Ningxi was speechless after hearing that sentence.
Huo Nanxiao: "Is there anything else? If not, please leave."
He was clearly throwing a tantrum.
Xia Ningxi thought this guy had quite a temper, so she snorted and was about to leave.
"Stop." Huo Nanxiao seemed to have remembered something again.
Xia Ningxi stopped in her tracks: "Is there anything else?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "I plan to send Wanwan back to the Xia family. Find some time to talk to Tang En and see if he is willing to go to the Xia family to accompany her during her medical treatment."
Xia Ningxi said, "You should talk to him yourself."
“It would be more suitable for you to go,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi said, "I don't care."
Huo Nanxiao said, "You work at Ninghai Hospital, and Wanwan can't rest properly if she stays there. If Tang En can't go home with her, I'm worried that Wanwan's health will suffer."
The smile vanished from Xia Ningxi's beautiful face instantly. She said to Huo Nanxiao with extreme indifference, "So what? Are you blaming me for delaying Xia Wanwan's recovery by coming to work at Ninghai Hospital?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "With you here, she really can't get a proper rest."
"That's her business," Xia Ningxi scoffed.
Huo Nanxiao knew better than anyone why she went to work at Ninghai Hospital. If Huo Nanxiao hadn't cut off Xia Ningxi's escape route, how could she have stayed in the capital?
He knew perfectly well that the best thing for Xia Wanwan would be for him to leave without anyone noticing and disappear completely from the capital city, but Huo Nanxiao did not do so. Huo Nanxiao should have thought about the consequences.
Xia Ningxi looked at the gemstone necklace in her hand. The moment she opened it, she really liked it and was very touched, because Huo Nanxiao rarely gave her such a valuable gift.
But now Xia Ningxi feels that everything Huo Nanxiao did was for Xia Wanwan.
At this moment, the gift seemed less important.
"Here's your gift back, I don't want it anymore." Xia Ningxi placed the gift on the table and turned to leave.
Huo Nanxiao, his face cold, grabbed her wrist: "You don't want the necklace anymore?"
"No, you can take it and throw it away yourself," Xia Ningxi replied bluntly.
Huo Nanxiao's face was serious and he asked, "You don't like it?"
"I dare not and will not accept anything from Young Master Huo. If Xia Wanwan finds out, she'll be so angry she'll vomit blood. Then will you say that all of this is because of me?" Xia Ningxi said sarcastically.
Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes: "Xia Ningxi, why are you arguing with a patient? Wanwan is not in good health and should rest properly. She can't get proper rest at all if she stays in the hospital."
"So what? Do you want to kick me out of Ninghai Hospital so Xia Wanwan can move to another place, or do you want me to disappear from her sight completely?"
Xia Ningxi sneered and unceremoniously broke free from Huo Nanxiao's hand. "If you don't want me to bother your Xia Wanwan, you should let me and the child leave as soon as possible. As long as I am in the capital, Xia Wanwan will never have a good day!"
