Chapter 520 Choosing him is my business
Huo Nanxiao's face darkened.
He hadn't expected Xia Ningxi to be so bold.
He returned to his office and dialed Xia Ningxi's number using the landline. The call was answered shortly, but the person who answered was not Xia Ningxi, but a man!
Li Yancheng seemed to have known all along that Huo Nanxiao would be looking for her. He asked casually, his voice trailing off in a seductive tone, "She's busy. What do you want with her?"
"Why did you have her phone?" Huo Nanxiao questioned, his words devoid of warmth but laced with intense anger.
Li Yancheng smiled and said, "What's it to you?"
"Where is she?" Huo Nanxiao was getting impatient; he didn't want to waste his breath on Li Yancheng.
Li Yancheng: "I'm busy in my room and don't have time to talk to you. Just tell me what's wrong, and I'll pass it on to her when I have time."
He wasn't afraid of being misunderstood at all, or perhaps he said it on purpose to cause misunderstanding.
Huo Nanxiao was indeed angry and slammed down the phone.
"Ye Su, prepare the car," Huo Nanxiao commanded menacingly.
Ye Su didn't know what was wrong with Huo Nanxiao, and she didn't dare to ask, afraid of accidentally offending him. She quickly did as Huo Nanxiao instructed.
When the three children saw Huo Nanxiao about to leave, they quickly chased after him.
Huo Yuan asked, "Is Daddy going to pick up Mommy?"
Xingxing said, "We want to go too. Can Daddy take us with him?"
Huo Nanxiao left the company with his three children and rushed to Li Yancheng's private estate, but their car was stopped at the gate.
Yao Qing stood at the door very politely, with a polite smile on her face: "Young Master Li is not receiving guests today, Young Master Huo, please leave."
Huo Nanxiao: "Whether you open the door yourself and let me in, or I push this door down and then I go in, it's your choice."
Yao Qing's face was quite ugly. He really doubted that Huo Nanxiao would do such a thing. He didn't dare to gamble on whether Huo Nanxiao had the guts, since this wasn't the first time Huo Nanxiao had done something like this. He could only give the gatekeeper a look, and the gatekeeper opened the door to let Huo Nanxiao in.
At this moment, Li Yancheng was sitting on the first floor, casually drinking tea.
Hearing hurried footsteps approaching, his eyes flashed, and when he looked up, he saw Huo Nanxiao walking briskly towards him. He smiled, a very handsome smile on his lips: "You're here."
These two words, spoken so naturally, seem to have been waiting for a long time.
"Where is she?" Huo Nanxiao's eyes were cold.
Li Yancheng leaned back lazily and said casually, "In my room. Someone, go and invite Dr. Xia down."
The maid nodded and quickly went upstairs.
Huo Nanxiao glanced at Li Yancheng with displeasure, then turned to go upstairs. However, he was blocked by two bodyguards. Without even blinking, he kicked the person in front of him away.
ah--
The man who was kicked away let out a scream.
Li Yancheng turned around abruptly, his grip on the teacup tightening. "Huo Nanxiao, this is my home. Don't be so arrogant!"
"Anyway, it's not the first time. You'll get used to it." Huo Nanxiao was expressionless, and his innate chill almost swallowed people whole.
His arrogance made Li Yancheng want to beat him up.
But Huo Nanxiao didn't care what Li Yancheng was thinking at all. He quickly went upstairs. When he was halfway up the stairs, he heard footsteps coming from upstairs. He looked up and saw Xia Ningxi coming down with a kitten in her arms.
Seeing that she was unharmed, the murderous intent in Huo Nanxiao's eyes dissipated somewhat.
Xia Ningxi was also surprised to see Huo Nanxiao; she never expected him to appear in this place.
"You... what are you doing here?" She opened her mouth, unable to help but ask the question that had been bothering her.
Huo Nanxiao: "Shouldn't I be asking you that? Why were you at his house?"
“I’m here for treatment,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "What illness requires treatment in a room?"
Xia Ningxi raised her beautiful eyebrows. "What do you mean?"
"You know perfectly well what I mean," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
Xia Ningxi lost her temper and said, "Yes, I am a doctor. I know best how to treat patients. I don't need Young Master Huo to comment on me. To put it bluntly, what does it have to do with you? What are you doing here? Are you here for treatment too? Sorry, I don't have time."
She walked past the man sideways, not even glancing at him, and stormed downstairs.
She didn't know where that bastard Huo Nanxiao got the courage to question her. What right did he have?
She didn't care about his messy affair with Xia Wanwan, but he had the nerve to question her. How ridiculous!
Xia Ningxi grew angrier the more she thought about it.
When she got down to the first floor, she found all three children there. Her anger vanished instantly, and she was even pleasantly surprised.
"Why are you all here too?" Xia Ningxi put down the little white cat she was holding.
Huo Yuan said, "We were worried about Mommy, so we came with Daddy. Is Mommy alright?"
"I'm fine." Xia Ningxi smiled and stroked Huo Yuan's head, while also comforting her two younger siblings, "Mommy is doing well, don't worry."
Chu Chu said, feeling wronged, "I thought something had happened to Mommy."
“Mommy is fine,” Xia Ningxi explained again.
"Go back if there's nothing else."
Huo Nanxiao suddenly said something that immediately shattered the rare reunion of the family of four.
Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at Huo Nanxiao and left with the child.
"stop."
Just then, Li Yancheng spoke.
Xia Ningxi stopped in her tracks.
Huo Nanxiao's deep eyes were also tinged with anger. He stared at Li Yancheng, exuding an indescribable aura of danger, as if if this man were to say another word, Huo Nanxiao would make him unable to speak again.
Those around Huo Nanxiao were stunned by his powerful aura.
But Li Yancheng completely ignored him and smiled slightly at Xia Ningxi: "Our secret is not to be told to outsiders."
"Okay." Xia Ningxi agreed and left with the children.
Li Yancheng: "Yao Qing, take Dr. Xia with you."
Yao Qing nodded, quickly stepped forward, and escorted Xia Ningxi into the car.
Huo Nanxiao had never received such treatment before. He wondered when Li Yancheng and Xia Ningxi had become so close.
Their conversation just now was like a thorn in Huo Nanxiao's heart, stirring up all his doubts. So much so that the first thing Huo Nanxiao asked after getting into the car was: "What secret do you have with him?"
"It's nothing." Xia Ningxi didn't want to answer his question at all.
Huo Nanxiao's hands were bruised from gripping the steering wheel. He didn't say anything, stepped on the gas, and left Li Yancheng's private estate.
He was seething with anger, and sped back to Lanyuan.
The servants saw this and quickly came out to greet them.
"Take the young masters and Miss Chu upstairs together," Huo Nanxiao ordered.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately picked up their children and got off the bus.
Xingxing vaguely sensed something was wrong and immediately refused, "No, I don't want to go upstairs, I want to stay with Mommy."
Aunt Zhang looked at Huo Nanxiao with a troubled expression.
Huo Nanxiao: "Take him up."
Hearing this, Aunt Zhang didn't know what to say, and without caring whether the children wanted it or not, she quickly took the children away.
After they had all left, Huo Nanxiao's suppressed anger finally erupted. He turned around and stared at the woman who had just gotten out of the car, his icy aura almost swallowing people whole.
What are you doing at the Li family's house?
"To treat the illness," Xia Ningxi replied calmly.
Huo Nanxiao's gaze grew colder and colder: "Tell the truth."
"I told you, but you don't believe me, so there's nothing I can do."
Xia Ningxi was too lazy to argue with Huo Nanxiao, so she walked past him and prepared to go upstairs to find her child.
Huo Nanxiao gripped her wrist tightly.
"You're hurting me," Xia Ningxi said angrily.
Looking at her stunning face, Huo Nanxiao said, word by word, "You're not even divorced yet, and you're already running to another man's house. Are you that eager to be with him?"
"Ha! Huo Nanxiao, how dare you criticize me?" Xia Ningxi was so angry at this bastard that she laughed. She said angrily, "And you? Are you any better? Isn't our divorce just a matter of time? We're only missing a divorce certificate. I don't even stop you from finding someone else, so what right do you have to tell me what to do?"
"Xia Ningxi!" Huo Nanxiao was furious, a ball of anger surging in his chest. He said sharply, "Do you think he is sincere towards you? In his eyes, you are nothing more than a pawn."
"In your eyes, am I not just a pawn?"
Xia Ningxi looked into his eyes and slowly asked a question with her crimson lips.
The man froze, and the hand he was holding turned icy cold in an instant.
Xia Ningxi forced a smile: "Since you've chosen to give Xia Wanwan a future, then you don't need to worry about my affairs. Whether I live or die, even if Li Yancheng is really using me, it's my own business, and I will bear all the consequences of my choices."
