Chapter 505 You Have Bad Eyes
"She needs to rest and hasn't had any free time lately."
Huo Nanxiao didn't want Ji Feibai to harass Xia Ningxi, so he directly rejected his suggestion and was about to hang up the phone.
Ji Feibai was so frightened that he shouted, "What do you mean you're busy? Are you lying to me?"
"She's tired and needs to rest," Huo Nanxiao added impatiently.
Ji Feibai: "Alright, name a time. I absolutely have to see her. How long does she need to rest? Three days or five days?"
"We'll talk about it later." Huo Nanxiao hung up the phone directly.
Ji Feibai on the other end was so angry he was yelling.
But this wasn't the only person to contact Huo Nanxiao. After the news spread, people contacted Huo Nanxiao one after another, and some even went directly to Huo Xiuyuan, trying to meet Xia Ningxi. As for why they didn't call Xia Ningxi directly, it was because when Xia Ningxi woke up in the morning, she found hundreds of missed calls and text messages on her phone and was too scared to turn it on.
All these people came to Xia Ningxi for help with their medical treatment, but she only has two arms and two legs, so she can't possibly take care of everyone.
"Dad, can we suppress this news? It's not good for the Huo family if the media keeps waiting outside," Xia Ningxi suggested.
Huo Xiuyuan laughed and said, "Great! What's wrong with that! This is a great thing. You are bringing honor to the Huo family. Looking at the entire capital, whose daughter-in-law is as outstanding as you? You don't need to be afraid. If you are worried that their enthusiasm will affect your work, I will send them away."
Xia Ningxi was both amused and exasperated. She didn't want this matter to escalate so much; she just wanted a quiet working environment and didn't want to be bothered or disturbed by too many people.
However, her normal life has been clearly disrupted, and she is unable to work properly in this situation.
But Huo Xiuyuan was in a good mood, so Xia Ningxi didn't want to spoil his fun and silently took a sip of hot water.
Breakfast was prepared quickly and was very plentiful, containing all of Xia Ningxi's and the child's favorite foods. Xia Ningxi ate a lot.
"Mommy, it's Saturday today, shall we go out and play?" Chu Chu suddenly asked.
Xia Ningxi explained gently, "How about your uncle takes you?"
"Isn't Mommy going to stay with us?" Chu Chu asked, a little disappointed.
Xingxing said, "Mommy is a big celebrity now. When she goes out, people will stop her for interviews. What if she gets hurt by a lot of people? So it's better for us to stay home and study today."
"Okay." Chu Chu pouted.
Huo Nanxiao noticed the little girl's disappointment, picked up a chicken wing and put it in her bowl, saying in a deep voice, "Where do you want to go? Daddy will take you."
"Hmph, you're not my daddy, you're not allowed to take advantage of me." Chu Chu said in a childish voice as she gnawed on a chicken wing.
Huo Nanxiao was both amused and exasperated: "You child, you turn your back on me so easily."
"You're the one who's not familiar with me. Don't try to get close to me. My mommy is really powerful now," the little girl warned fiercely in her cute but fierce manner.
Huo Nanxiao's smile became even more captivating, his sexy lips curving as he looked at Xia Ningxi, his wicked eyes seeming to say: Look, the child you gave birth to is so unreasonable!
Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at Huo Nanxiao, thinking that it was normal for this girl not to recognize Huo Nanxiao, right? She was already four years old. Huo Nanxiao hadn't been nice to Chu Chu before. Children have their own sense of right and wrong, and she knew better than anyone who she liked or disliked someone.
"Does Chu Chu really want to go out and play?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Chu Chu nodded: "Mommy, I want to buy a dress because Zhang Linlin in my class has a butterfly dress that is really pretty, and I want to buy a pretty dress too."
"Okay, Mommy will take you out to buy some after you finish breakfast!" Xia Ningxi agreed.
Huo Nanxiao raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you sleepy?"
"Buy clothes for the child first, then it's not too late for her to sleep." Xia Ningxi didn't want the child to wait too long, afraid that Chu Chu would be disappointed.
Huo Nanxiao checked the time and sent Ye Su a message, canceling all the meetings that morning.
Ye Su still found it strange and couldn't help but ask, "Is the president really not coming to the company today?"
"I'm not coming." Huo Nanxiao refused very decisively.
Ye Su felt puzzled, but thinking that the Huo family must be very busy today and Huo Nanxiao would probably be with Qin Weiqian, she didn't ask any further questions.
After breakfast, Qin Weiqian changed into an outfit suitable for shopping. Two of the three children wore super cool overalls, and the other wore a pink princess dress. The three little ones standing together looked adorable no matter how you looked at them.
Xia Ningxi was overjoyed and hugged the three little ones, giving each of them a big kiss.
"So cute." She patted the little ones' heads and led them downstairs.
Seeing that Huo Nanxiao hadn't left yet, Xia Ningxi couldn't help but glance at the clock on the wall and ask, "Aren't you going to the company?"
"It's your day off today. Where do you want to go shopping? I'll take you," Huo Nanxiao said.
"No need, I can manage on my own." Xia Ningxi refused Huo Nanxiao's suggestion without any politeness.
Huo Nanxiao looked displeased: "How can you take care of three children by yourself? What if someone follows you? Can you protect them?"
One sentence left Xia Ningxi speechless. She opened her mouth but didn't know how to start. In the end, she sighed helplessly and gave up.
"You can give it to me if you want."
She got into Huo Nanxiao's car with her three children.
The mall wasn't far from the Huo family's house, but because it was the weekend, it was extremely crowded. Xia Ningxi was finding it difficult to manage three children all by herself and was a bit overwhelmed.
It would be much better if Huo Nanxiao were around; he could help hold the child's hand and carry Xia Ningxi's bag.
The couple were regular customers. As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the children's clothing store, the store manager and several people came out to greet them.
"Young Master Huo, Young Madam, Young Master and Young Ladies, hello!" The shop manager greeted them with a beaming smile, his enthusiasm was boundless.
Xia Ningxi smiled slightly: "Do you have any new dresses?"
"Yes, yes, the young mistress's timing is perfect. A batch of custom-made children's clothes was just delivered today. Look, they're all hand-tailored, and the embroidery on them is all hand-stitched too. They're very beautiful," the shop manager enthusiastically recommended to Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi looked down at Chu Chu and asked, "Do you like it?"
"I don't like it." The little girl shook her head and pointed to the dark-style black dress hanging at the highest point. "Chu Chu likes this dress."
Xia Ningxi asked the store manager, "Can you help me take this down?"
"Yes, young mistress, this dress is very beautiful. Miss Chu Chu has such good taste; she even found the only one in our store." The shop manager praised with a smile.
The little black dress is a sundress, and it looks especially good on children; it's so cute that you just want to kiss it.
After putting on the little dress, Chu Chu stood in front of the mirror and twirled around, overjoyed: "Mommy, I love it, can you buy it for me?"
"Okay, okay, I'll buy it!" Xia Ningxi had just agreed when she saw Huo Nanxiao walk up with a frown.
"Doesn't this style come in a crew neck version?" Huo Nanxiao asked the store manager.
The store manager paused for a moment, then replied, "Young Master Huo, there's only one of these dresses; we don't have any other styles."
"The tank top is too revealing; a child wearing that will easily catch a cold." Huo Nanxiao picked out a dress that looked warmer and asked Chu Chu, "Do you like this dress?"
Chu Chu tilted her head to examine it, then nodded her little face: "I like it, but Chu Chu likes this dress even more."
Huo Nanxiao frowned: "I don't think she's very good."
"Nonsense, I like it. You have bad taste. Chu Chu won't play with you." Little Chu Chu threw a tantrum, her little face puffed up like a bloated pufferfish.
The little girl's adorable words made everyone around her burst into laughter.
Huo Nanxiao stared intently at the little girl's sundress, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper. Are children's clothes designed to be this revealing these days? It seems like it's time to clean things up…
This is his precious daughter!
Huo Nanxiao paid the bill with a dark face. Although he didn't like Chu Chu wearing a sundress, he didn't want to make the little girl sad. Huo Nanxiao would buy anything Chu Chu liked.
After shopping, the family bought a lot of things. Xia Ningxi, who had initially thought Huo Nanxiao was a bit of a nuisance, suddenly stopped disliking him when she saw that he was carrying a lot of bags.
For men, carrying a bag is perfectly fine.
Huo Nanxiao spent almost the entire day with Xia Ningxi and the child. During the day, some people who wanted to interview Xia Ningxi were scared away by a single look from Huo Nanxiao.
Although Huo Nanxiao did nothing, the fact that he took Xia Ningxi and the three children shopping was exposed.
