Chapter 690 Successfully Obtaining the Divorce Certificate
Under Huo Nanxiao's forceful advances, Xia Ningxi succumbed. She closed her eyes, feeling the man's delicate kisses falling on her lips.
The familiar scent filled the large room, so peaceful that only their breathing could be heard.
Huo Nanxiao was obsessed with her body and kissed her many times until they were both exhausted before they stopped.
He held her soft body in his arms, almost melding her into his own, rested his head on her shoulder, and whispered, "Take a nap."
"It's almost time to go to work," Xia Ningxi couldn't help but remind her.
Huo Nanxiao was somewhat displeased and sealed her lips, not giving her another chance to speak.
Xia Ningxi couldn't understand what Huo Nanxiao meant either, but this guy seemed really tired and showed no intention of getting up. She thought about it and decided to let Huo Nanxiao take a half-hour nap.
She stopped struggling and quietly snuggled into the blankets for a nap.
Xia Ningxi didn't know how long she had slept, but when she was half asleep, she heard a knock on the door. She opened her blurry eyes and realized that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Ye Su had come to remind Huo Nanxiao that it was time to go to work.
Xia Ningxi responded.
Upon hearing Xia Ningxi's voice, Ye Su stopped knocking.
It took Xia Ningxi a while to recover from her sleepiness. She nudged Huo Nanxiao's chest and said, "Get up."
The man remained motionless and did not get up.
Xia Ningxi was about to pull off his blanket when Huo Nanxiao suddenly pulled her into his arms. She raised her head abruptly, blinked her big eyes, and met Huo Nanxiao's gaze.
"Who's enough?" she asked.
Huo Nanxiao held her without saying a word, then silently closed his eyes.
Xia Ningxi said, "Have you forgotten that we have things to do today?"
Huo Nanxiao paused in his embrace of Xia Ningxi. He didn't say anything, but simply left a kiss on her ear before getting up to change his clothes.
He has a great physique and looks good even in casual clothes; no wonder so many people dream of marrying him.
Xia Ningxi withdrew her scrutinizing gaze, silently went into the bathroom to take a hot shower, and came out wearing the same outfit she had worn that morning. The two of them left the lounge together.
Ye Su outside seemed to have heard the noise. She knocked on the door and, after receiving permission, entered the president's office, saying respectfully, "President, Young Master Jin Chuan and two representatives from our partners are waiting for you in the VIP room. Would you like to see them?"
"Tell them I have to go out and to come back tomorrow," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
"Okay." Ye Su left.
Huo Nanxiao called the vice president over, explained the company's affairs, and then left with Xia Ningxi.
The Civil Affairs Bureau was very congested, even on Fridays. There weren't many people getting married, but the long line for divorces stretched all the way to the entrance.
Xia Ningxi had made an appointment online in advance, and they were called shortly after arriving at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Huo Nanxiao was somewhat displeased and said with a frown, "I didn't bring my ID card."
“I saw it in your wallet. I took it for you when I left. It’s with me.” Xia Ningxi tactfully took out Huo Nanxiao’s ID card.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Without a marriage certificate, you can't get a divorce. I forgot to bring it."
"I brought the marriage certificate with me, and I even checked your safe before leaving. You shouldn't be angry, right?"
Xia Ningxi also took out her marriage certificate.
Huo Nanxiao had already decided to get a divorce, so he had prepared all the necessary documents for the divorce proceedings.
Today, Huo Nanxiao deliberately came to the Civil Affairs Bureau empty-handed with Xia Ningxi, not knowing what he was planning.
I suspect he's after those children's custody again.
They've already signed the divorce agreement. It's already quite good that Xia Ningxi isn't fighting Huo Nanxiao for the family property. Is this guy really out of his mind and trying to fight her for custody of the children?
No, we have to get the divorce done quickly.
She cooperated very actively with the staff.
Huo Nanxiao seemed indifferent, and he didn't want to answer the staff's questions.
"Do both parties agree to the divorce?" the staff member asked patiently once again.
Xia Ningxi said, "I agree."
Huo Nanxiao's face was cold and devoid of any warmth.
Xia Ningxi nudged him: "I'm asking you a question."
Huo Nanxiao stared at her, his eyes cold: "Are you so eager to run away?"
"I'm not that impatient," Xia Ningxi muttered softly. "Wasn't this already agreed upon? You're not going to go back on your word, are you? Think it through. Xia Wanwan is still waiting for you. If you don't get a divorce today, I really won't get one. Then Xia Wanwan will be the other woman. Are you really willing to let Xia Wanwan be gossiped about and cursed behind her back?"
Huo Nanxiao was displeased, but he still wrote his name on the divorce application.
The formalities were completed quickly. Xia Ningxi held the divorce certificate in her hands, feeling a mix of emotions she couldn't quite describe.
She couldn't say she was happy, but she wasn't exactly sad either. After all, if Xia Wanwan hadn't had that accident back then, she wouldn't have married Huo Nanxiao, and they should have divorced long ago.
Perhaps Xia Ningxi's words had been overheard by those around her, as she made room to leave with her divorce certificate and overheard people talking.
The woman in the red dress said, "That scoundrel is despicable; he's even keeping a mistress on the side."
The young woman in green replied, "There are no good men in this world. He looks respectable, but he's a beast in human form. Even with such a beautiful wife, he can't change his despicable nature. He thinks even shit outside smells good."
"What a waste of such a handsome face, I never expected him to be such a scumbag." The crowd chimed in with their own nasty remarks.
Huo Nanxiao's handsome face visibly darkened.
"Let's go back." Xia Ningxi grabbed his hand and forcibly pulled Huo Nanxiao out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Huo Nanxiao was displeased: "Why are you pulling me away?"
“There’s no need to argue with irrelevant people,” Xia Ningxi replied.
She has already gotten what she wanted. Even if she still cares about Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan, that's all in the past. People have to move on. She can't let her life be filled with sadness and regret just because her husband doesn't love her.
Her future is bright.
People often tell Xia Ningxi that it's for the child's good to stay in the capital city, where they can still have their father's company, and only with a father can a child grow up healthily.
But all of this is nonsense.
How can a young child grow up healthily in a dysfunctional family?
Children need to be separated from dysfunctional marriages and families in a timely manner and taken to a new environment in order to grow up healthily.
If Xia Ningxi allows her children to live in a distorted marriage because of a ridiculous notion of parental companionship, will they think that it is normal for their father to cheat on them and keep other women when they grow up?
Xia Ningxi refused!
