Chapter 74 Anyone but her
Huo Yuan blinked his big eyes, patiently waiting for Huo Nanxiao's answer. He was looking forward to it because he liked Xia Ningxi very much. He didn't know why, but every time he saw Xia Ningxi, he would feel a feeling of liking. He always had a thought that it would be great if Xia Ningxi were his mother.
If Xia Ningxi were his mother, he would definitely be the child that everyone envies, right?
"Daddy, is it okay?" Huo Yuan asked anxiously when he didn't get an answer.
Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes and looked very seriously at the little guy's face. He said, "A Yuan, don't think too much. If you like her, I can let her stay with you forever. If she is obedient enough, I will let her grow up with you."
"Honest enough? What do you mean?" Huo Yuan asked, puzzled.
Huo Nanxiao did not answer, but told Huo Yuan, "You must remember that she is just your attending physician, not your family. You must remember that."
“But…” Huo Yuan subconsciously wanted to mention Xia Xingxing.
Huo Nanxiao interrupted him: "Listen to me, don't ask anymore."
"I don't like Daddy anymore. Daddy will never know what I want. All I want is a good mommy like Dr. Xia. Why can't Daddy grant me such a simple request?" Huo Yuan's eyes reddened as he spoke.
Huo Nanxiao's face was serious: "A Yuan, I don't want to be mean to you, but you need to listen carefully, your mother is Xia Wanwan."
"Then tell me, Daddy, why are other people's moms lively and energetic, while my mom has to lie in a hospital bed all this time? Daddy, have you abandoned me at my aunt's house all these years because you also hate me? You think I'm the one who hurt Mommy, so you deliberately abandoned me, is that right?"
Huo Yuan became more and more agitated as he spoke. He didn't know why, but he couldn't control his emotions at all. All he knew was that everyone said he was a bastard, and that Xia Wanwan had been in a coma because of his birth.
For so many years, Daddy has left him at Auntie's house. Isn't that because he dislikes him?
"Ah Yuan, how could you think like that?" Huo Nanxiao was shocked. He didn't expect Huo Yuan to say such a thing at such a young age.
Huo Yuan said, "Since Daddy doesn't love me, why does he pretend to give me anything? I just want a mommy as good as Dr. Xia, is that not allowed? Why can Xingxing have such a good mommy, why can't I!"
His voice was choked with sobs, and somewhat hysterical.
Huo Nanxiao felt sorry for Huo Yuan and pulled him into a hug, soothing him in a low voice: "A Yuan, just wait a little longer. Your mommy will wake up soon. She is a very kind person and will definitely treat you very well. When that time comes, you won't have to envy other children anymore."
"Daddy, what if Mommy never wakes up?" Huo Yuan looked up, his eyes red, and asked, "If she doesn't wake up, can I recognize Dr. Xia as my mommy?"
"No." Huo Nanxiao refused decisively, and said in a very stern tone, "Anyone is fine, but not her."
Anyone is fine, but not her...
A firm statement, yet it sounded extremely jarring at this moment.
Xia Ningxi, standing outside the door, wanted to pretend she hadn't heard anything, but she couldn't. She tightly gripped the hot milk in her hand, which she had originally intended to give to Huo Yuan. At this moment, however, Xia Ningxi didn't have the courage to take another step inside.
Her hands were trembling.
My heart is being torn apart silently.
Xia Ningxi turned and left.
She sat in her office, staring blankly at the ceiling, lost in thought.
Looking at the milk on the table, now cold, she realized that she didn't even have the right to give it to Huo Yuan.
Huo Nanxiao's feelings for her now are merely for his own use; he will never admit that she is Huo Yuan's biological mother.
Xia Ningxi chuckled softly. Fine, let Huo Nanxiao keep watch tonight.
Xia Ningxi changed her clothes and left the hospital.
She flagged down a car at the hospital entrance, and just as she was about to get in, a super cool black supercar sped up and took the spot the taxi was trying to park in. The window rolled down, revealing an extremely handsome profile.
"Where are you going, Dr. Xia? I'll give you a ride," Huo Jinchuan asked with a smile.
Xia Ningxi was surprised: "Your arm is healed?"
"Dr. Xia's skills are miraculous; her medicine has cured the illness completely." Huo Jinchuan smiled slightly, turned to open the passenger door, and said, "Get in."
"My car is behind me." Xia Ningxi turned around and was about to get into a taxi.
Huo Jinchuan said, "Dr. Xia, are you planning to have me go to the hospital to see you? I know where your clinic is."
Xia Ningxi couldn't help but want to curse.
The cars behind kept honking their horns to urge us on.
Huo Jinchuan said, "Hurry up and get in the car, you're blocking other people's way."
The taxi driver who was supposed to pick Xia Ningxi up drove off after seeing her talking to Huo Jinchuan. There was also a lot of traffic behind them, with other cars honking their horns to urge them on, so Xia Ningxi had no choice but to get into Huo Jinchuan's car.
Huo Jinchuan smiled slightly and opened the convertible top.
"Where does Dr. Xia want to go?" he asked.
"Let's find a coffee shop nearby." Xia Ningxi wanted to drink coffee.
“I know a really nice coffee shop in the capital, but it’s quite far. How about we go there?” Huo Jinchuan asked tentatively.
Xia Ningxi said, "Let's find one nearby."
Huo Jinchuan finally found a 24-hour coffee shop two kilometers away.
Xia Ningxi ignored him, got out of the car and left on her own, ordered a coffee and found a corner to sit down.
When Huo Jinchuan came in, he ordered a few more desserts and brought them to Xia Ningxi.
"What exactly is Mr. Huo's purpose in getting close to me?" Xia Ningxi asked, not believing that a stranger's sudden approach was simply out of affection.
Huo Jinchuan said, "I want to pursue you."
"I already said I'm married," Xia Ningxi said, somewhat angrily.
Huo Jinchuan smiled and said, "I know, but I've looked into it. It seems your relationship with your husband isn't very good. If that's the case, why not get a divorce and find someone more suitable?"
"It seems the injury on your arm hasn't healed yet. Do you want to inflict some new wounds?" Xia Ningxi narrowed her eyes, her aura gradually turning cold.
Huo Jinchuan said, "I fell in love with you at first sight. Perhaps you can give me a chance."
"What makes you think I should give you a chance?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
Huo Jinchuan said, "In the capital city, I can help you get anything or anyone you want."
Xia Ningxi's hand holding the coffee cup stiffened. She stared at the man in front of her with a complicated expression and asked very seriously, "Anything I want, you can give me?"
"Yes." Huo Jinchuan nodded.
Xia Ningxi laughed: "Do you know whose territory the Imperial City is?"
This is Huo Nanxiao's territory. She wants Huo Yuan. Does she think Huo Jinchuan can help her?
