Chapter 42 I am Huo Nanxiao's ex-wife
Xia Ningxi knew she couldn't hide it from Yang Yue'an at all, so she simply admitted, "I am Huo Nanxiao's ex-wife."
Yang Yuean's face showed an expression of disbelief, and his suddenly enlarged pupils were filled with shock. Obviously, he did not expect that Qin Weiqian and Huo Nanxiao had this relationship. No wonder Xia Xingxing and Huo Yuan looked exactly the same.
"Isn't Huo Nanxiao's wife Xia Wanwan? I heard he's been married for a long time," Yang Yuean asked.
Xia Ningxi gave a wry smile: "Yes, I also heard that he got married."
Yang Yuean sensed that something might be wrong and wanted to ask Qin Weiqian what was going on, but seeing Qin Weiqian's exhausted face, Yang Yuean swallowed his words and only asked, "Huo Nanxiao doesn't know about Xia Xingxing's existence, does he?"
"I don't know, please help me keep this secret, okay?" Xia Ningxi pleaded.
Yang Yuean said, "Okay, but I want to know why?"
“I’ve already lost one child, and I don’t want him to take away my star too,” Xia Ningxi answered truthfully.
Yang Yuean suddenly realized: "I understand. Huo Nanxiao knows about Xingxing's existence, so he will definitely take him away. Your struggle for custody against the huge Huo family is indeed like an ant trying to shake a tree."
“Yes, that’s why I can’t let Huo Nanxiao know about Xingxing’s existence. I want to quit my job and leave here once Huo Yuan’s injuries have healed,” Xia Ningxi said, revealing her thoughts.
Yang Yuean said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy. Since Huo Nanxiao has already recognized you, he won't take the child away right under his nose."
"That's why I need your help." Xia Ningxi said sincerely.
Yang Yuean sighed: "Okay."
Xia Ningxi was very happy. "I'll treat you to dinner."
"Add two large hairy crabs," Yang Yuean requested.
Xia Ningxi agreed: "I'll treat you to five."
"Let's go now, I'm hungry." Yang Yue'an had already taken off his white coat; it was already time to leave work.
Xia Ningxi also changed her clothes and left the clinic with Yang Yuean.
In the clinic across the street, Su Huixue came out, watched the two leave intimately, and took a picture with her phone.
Sun Yikui leaned closer: "Dr. Su, what are you filming?"
"Don't you think the two of them are getting a little too close?" Su Huixue asked.
Sun Yikui replied, "Zhou Xiaoya said before that Dr. Yang was dating Dr. Xia, but Dr. Yang explained that they were just senior and junior colleagues, not lovers."
"They're not even in a relationship, yet they're so intimate. These overseas returnees are really different; they're more open than anyone else. She's seducing Dr. Yang while also getting entangled with Young Master Huo. I wonder how many other people are being kept like fish in Dr. Xia's pond." Su Huixue sneered, her words full of disdain.
It was obvious that she looked down on Xia Ningxi; the sarcasm in her words was palpable.
When Xia Ningxi returned to work after entertaining guests, she found that everyone in the department was looking at her strangely. She roughly guessed why, but offered no explanation.
She went to Huo Yuan's ward as usual to change his dressing.
Perhaps due to the numerous rumors circulating these past few days, Huo Yuan vaguely heard people talking about Xia Ningxi. He stared wide-eyed at Xia Ningxi, completely bewildered.
"Dr. Xia, what do you think of my dad?" Huo Yuan asked curiously.
Xia Ningxi paused for a moment, then replied, "Not so much."
"Oh, isn't my daddy good enough?" Huo Yuan was somewhat disappointed, clearly not expecting this answer.
Xia Ningxi suddenly asked seriously, "Why do you ask that?"
"I think my dad is a very good person, but I feel like Dr. Xia doesn't really like him," Huo Yuan said, very curious.
Xia Ningxi said, "Maybe I used to like him, but now I have someone I like."
"Who is it?" Huo Yuan asked curiously.
Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "You."
The little guy's cheeks flushed instantly; he was very shy, and even his ears were covered in red.
Seeing Huo Nanxiao come out of the next lounge, Huo Yuan quickly greeted him, "Daddy, you're awake."
"Hmm." Huo Nanxiao walked towards Xia Ningxi step by step, his face terrifying.
Xia Ningxi's breath hitched. She hadn't expected Huo Nanxiao to still be there. Had he heard what she just said?
Xia Ningxi felt flustered and nervously took a step back.
Huo Nanxiao noticed this action, and a layer of coldness settled in his eyes.
He walked over to Huo Yuan, sat down, and gently stroked Huo Yuan's small face with his large hand, a disdainful smile playing on his lips: "Does Dr. Xia like Dr. Yang from the hospital?"
Xia Ningxi's lips twitched. This guy really heard everything.
He has quite a temper.
Xia Ningxi silently complained in her heart and replied, "It has nothing to do with Young Master Huo."
The light in Huo Nanxiao's eyes grew even colder.
The temperature in the entire ward seemed to drop and freeze in that instant.
The cold air flowing through it was suffocating.
Xia Ningxi just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Stop." Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
Xia Ningxi reluctantly stopped in her tracks: "Does Young Master Huo have any instructions?"
"I'm going to the mall to buy clothes for A-Yuan. You're coming with me," Huo Nanxiao ordered.
Xia Ningxi said, "Young Master Huo can have your subordinates handle this small matter. I'm still at work and can't go out."
"Then let A-Yuan continue wearing his hospital gown, and he doesn't need to go out for a walk."
Huo Yuan can now get out of bed and walk around a little, which is good for his health, but Huo Nanxiao didn't bring him any clothes.
Xia Ningxi felt that it really was true what they said, that A Yuan was indeed raised by a stepfather.
Xia Ningxi was furious that Huo Nanxiao, such a big boss, wouldn't even bring clothes for Huo Yuan.
She steeled herself and got into the car leaving the hospital with Huo Nanxiao.
From the moment Xia Ningxi got into the car, Lu Qi would occasionally glance at her through the rearview mirror.
She was dressed simply, with her hair in a ponytail and wearing a mask; she looked clean and tidy.
Lu Qi thought to himself: Is this woman really the young mistress? She doesn't seem like it.
The young mistress used to have a lovesick face. Every time she saw Huo Shao, her eyes would light up. She wanted to follow him everywhere. Everyone thought she was madly in love with Huo Nanxiao.
How come the young mistress has completely changed after just a few years?
Lu Qi looked at Huo Nanxiao again, and clicked his tongue in anger.
It's been a long time since I've seen Young Master Huo so angry. I wonder what Young Madam Huo did.
Upon arriving at the mall, we headed straight to a children's clothing store.
Huo Yuan and Xingxing are about the same height, so Xia Ningxi chose clothes based on Xingxing's size. In addition, Huo Yuan was injured, so Xia Ningxi tried to choose loose and easy-to-wear clothes.
Huo Nanxiao had taken a few items, but found that they were very different from the styles Xia Ningxi had chosen, so he put them back.
"Sir, this garment has a great cut and the fabric is very comfortable. Don't you like it?" The sales assistant was still puzzled.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Wrap up everything she chose."
Only then did the group notice Xia Ningxi.
Seeing the two of them walk in together, looking distant, the sales assistant thought they weren't familiar with each other. But after hearing Huo Nanxiao's words, she immediately took the store's best-selling clothes and went over to them.
"Madam, do you think these outfits suit you?"
“I am not his wife.” Xia Ningxi was not happy.
The sales assistant was surprised.
Huo Nanxiao frowned as well, and snorted coldly: "Hurry up and choose, our son is still waiting at the hospital."
