Chapter 61 Daddy, Your Wife is Missing
Before Huo Nanxiao appeared, Xia Ningxi had a very good reputation. In addition, she was personally invited back from abroad by the dean, so her colleagues respected her very much.
But everything changed because of Huo Nanxiao's appearance.
Xia Ningxi didn't know how to defend herself, but she knew very well that even if she told the truth, everyone would only think that she was delusional and unworthy of Huo Nanxiao.
Xia Ningxi was too lazy to explain.
Zhao Qian and Zhou Xiaoya, however, were not convinced and had a fight with Su Huixue and the others.
When Yang Yuean returned, he saw a group of people arguing. He scolded them, and they all shut up.
They silently returned to their posts, and although they didn't speak ill of Xia Ningxi again, the occasional glances they gave her were enough to show their contempt for her.
Yang Yuean knew that Xia Ningxi had been wronged, and said in a deep voice, "Don't care about their opinions."
"Yes, thank you for getting me out of that situation." Xia Ningxi was very grateful.
Yang Yuean said, "I know you're not that kind of person."
Xia Ningxi remained silent. Yang Yuean already knew about her situation, so she had nothing to explain.
Zhou Xiaoya caught up with Xia Ningxi and asked when they were alone, "Dr. Xia, why didn't you tell them you're with Young Master Huo? That would have been a real slap in the face for them, and they wouldn't dare say anything then!"
"Huo Nanxiao has a wife, have you forgotten?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
Zhou Xiaoya looked around mysteriously and said, "But I think I heard that Young Master Huo didn't register his marriage with Xia Wanwan, which means he didn't marry her."
"How did you know?" Xia Ningxi was shocked.
Zhou Xiaoya replied, "I heard it from my father; he works at Ninghai Hospital."
The answer that Ninghai Hospital was where Xia Wanwan was recuperating shocked Xia Ningxi, and she fell silent.
Zhou Xiaoya continued, "Not having a marriage certificate means you're not married, so you're not a third party. Why don't you just become the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family and dazzle Su Huixue and her ilk! Let's see if they still dare to laugh at you then!"
"You've misunderstood. There's nothing between me and Huo Nanxiao," Xia Ningxi said, distancing herself from the situation.
Zhou Xiaoya said, "How could that be? I heard Lu Qi call you 'Young Mistress' with my own ears!"
"He probably called me by the wrong name." Xia Ningxi smiled slightly and stopped commenting on the topic.
After handing over her work to Yang Yuean, she headed toward the ward. Along the way, Xia Ningxi could feel many disapproving glances, but she ignored them. However, when she reached the ward door, she couldn't help but stop.
Her mind was filled with Zhou Xiaoya's words.
Did Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan not get their marriage certificate?
However, everyone outside knows that they are already married.
Xia Ningxi tried to control herself and tell herself not to care about it, but once she actually found out, she couldn't help but want to find out everything about Huo Nanxiao.
She still hasn't let go, has she?
She has not let go of Huo Nanxiao, whom she loved with all her heart all those years ago.
Xia Ningxi felt that she was quite useless.
So many years have passed, why does she still care whether Huo Nanxiao married Xia Wanwan?
Taking a deep breath, Xia Ningxi pushed open the door and went inside.
"Dr. Xia!" Huo Yuan ran up excitedly when he saw Xia Ningxi, looking pitiful with a limp.
Xia Ningxi quickly hugged the little guy, "Why are you running? You can't do such strenuous exercise yet."
"I miss Dr. Xia." Huo Yuan blushed, feeling very shy.
Xia Ningxi couldn't resist giving the adorable little guy a kiss on the forehead.
Huo Yuan's face turned even redder.
"My little darling, call me if you miss me. Don't wander off on your own. What if you break your leg and have to wear a cast again?" Xia Ningxi said softly.
Huo Yuan was overjoyed: "Dr. Xia, can I have your phone number? Okay, tell me, I'll write it down right away."
He hurriedly searched around, his gaze fixed on Huo Nanxiao's phone. Without paying attention, he picked it up and asked Xia Ningxi to read the phone number aloud, while he listened and wrote it down.
But when Huo Yuan dialed all the numbers, two words suddenly appeared on the phone screen.
Wife.
Daddy saved this phone number.
The contact name is actually "wife"?
Huo Yuan was stunned for a long time.
Huo Nanxiao, who was standing on the other side, suddenly realized something and quickly snatched the phone away.
Xia Ningxi also saw the nickname on her phone. Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked up to meet the man's deep gaze.
"I forgot to delete it." Huo Nanxiao said only four words coldly, his fair fingers quickly swiping the phone screen to delete the phone number labeled "Wife".
After deleting it, he gave the phone back to Huo Yuan and asked Huo Yuan to write down Xia Ningxi's number.
Huo Yuan's blank face immediately broke into a big smile: "Dr. Xia, what's your phone number?"
Xia Ningxi read out her mobile phone number.
Huo Yuan carefully memorized each number, and after entering them all into his phone, the word "wife" disappeared.
"Huh?" Huo Yuan asked in confusion.
Huo Nanxiao asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
"Daddy, your wife is gone." Huo Yuan looked up, quite surprised: "I just saw her, how come she's gone now?"
A somewhat incomprehensible expression appeared on Huo Nanxiao's handsome and noble face.
He coughed lightly: "You've mistaken me for someone else."
"Really?" Huo Yuan was skeptical, but he saved Xia Ningxi's number into Huo Nanxiao's phone.
Huo Nanxiao glanced at him, but didn't say anything, letting Huo Yuan do as he pleased.
Xia Ningxi couldn't quite understand Huo Nanxiao's thoughts.
Since he hates her so much, why doesn't he stop Huo Yuan?
What exactly does he want to do?
Xia Ningxi couldn't understand it, but she would never refuse her precious son's request for contact information.
After getting Xia Ningxi's phone number, the little guy was very happy holding the phone and didn't want to give it to Huo Nanxiao.
"Dr. Xia, I'll call you whenever I'm scared, okay? You have to answer the phone, okay?" Huo Yuan asked happily.
Xia Ningxi smiled and nodded: "Okay, call me if you're scared, or when you're bored. I'll keep you company whenever I'm free."
"Dr. Xia, you're so kind, I like you!" Huo Yuan was overjoyed and opened his arms for a hug.
Xia Ningxi bent down, picked up the little one, and sat down on the sofa next to her, letting the little one play in her lap. The light in her eyes softened.
Huo Yuan was very happy and nestled in Xia Ningxi's arms, unwilling to leave.
This scene was heartwarming, and it made Huo Nanxiao's heart tremble slightly.
Huo Nanxiao tried to wake Huo Yuan, but the little guy immediately acted like a spoiled monkey, clinging tightly to Xia Ningxi and refusing to go with Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao was a little jealous.
Huo Yuan had never been so clingy to him before, but he was particularly fond of Xia Ningxi. Huo Nanxiao even felt that if the little guy stayed with Xia Ningxi for a few more days, the little thing would really run away with Xia Ningxi!
