Chapter 740 The house was empty after she left
Xia Ningxi could remain calm, but Huo Nanxiao could not.
As a husband, he could watch Xia Ningxi leave, but as a father, he couldn't bear to watch his children leave the family and become completely distant from him.
Although Huo Nanxiao did not raise the three children himself, his affection for them was no less.
"Are you really going to go with Mommy?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
The three little ones stopped and looked at Huo Nanxiao. When they realized that Huo Nanxiao was asking them a question, the three little ones subconsciously stood next to Xia Ningxi.
A small gesture was enough to show their attitude.
Huo Nanxiao still didn't believe that all the children would choose to leave. He said, "In the Huo family, you can have all the latest toys, the most delicious pastries and snacks in the world, and endless money. As long as you stay, I can buy you whatever you want. I can give you the best life, but Xia Ningxi can't give you any of that."
Xia Ningxi immediately bristled upon hearing this, angrily demanding, "What do you mean?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "Your current financial situation is not enough to give your children the best life, but I can."
"Don't forget what you promised me!" Xia Ningxi asked angrily.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Even if you are their biological mother, you cannot stop them from striving for a better future."
Xia Ningxi just wanted to swear. Does this guy have no shame?
She said, "You go back on your word. Do you think they'll choose you just because you say these things?"
Huo Nanxiao ignored Xia Ningxi and focused his gaze on Chu Chu: "Chu Chu, as long as you stay, I will fill every piggy bank in your piggy bank with money. I will fill as many piggy banks as you have, and you will have more money than you can spend."
Chu Chu's eyes lit up, but then she thought about it and pouted, "I don't want that much money. Mommy will give it all to me. Don't even think about taking me away. I will never listen to you."
Huo Nanxiao frowned, and seeing that he couldn't persuade Chu Chu, his gaze fell on Huo Yuan.
Huo Yuan dared not meet Huo Nanxiao's gaze, and automatically walked behind Xia Ningxi, his small hands tightly gripping the hem of Xia Ningxi's clothes, not daring to speak.
Huo Nanxiao's expression grew increasingly somber. After much deliberation, he finally placed his hopes on Xingxing.
Of the three children, Xingxing has the most say, and her attitude usually represents the attitude of the other two.
Xingxing: "Daddy, you don't need to look at me. What you say is useless. I will follow Mommy. Wherever Mommy goes, I will go. How much the Huo family has is not of much concern to me. Even without Daddy, Mommy could take good care of us. Now that Mommy has been promoted and received a raise, our lives will only get better."
After a pause, Xingxing continued, "Daddy, there's no need for you to keep trying to persuade us. You already know that no matter what happens, even if Mommy loses everything, we will still choose to stand by her side without hesitation. No one can separate us."
"Since Daddy chose Xia Wanwan, just live your life well. Actually, not having a Daddy isn't anything to be ashamed of. We didn't have a Daddy when we were abroad, but we got by just fine. It's not a big deal."
Little Xingxing walked to Xia Ningxi's side and held her hand with her pink little hand. "Mommy, let's go. This home doesn't belong to us. We should have left long ago."
"Okay." Xia Ningxi nodded in agreement.
She led the children away from the huge Huo family mansion.
Huo Nanxiao stood at the door, watching Xia Ningxi get into the car with the three children, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
"Young Master, if Young Madam leaves this time, she really won't come back. Are you really not going to stop her?" The butler couldn't help but plead with him.
Huo Nanxiao did not move.
Butler: "Young Master! The young mistress is not alone. There are too many men who want to pursue her. Once she leaves you, she can find a better choice at any time. The three children will all run off with other people. Can you really swallow this? Can you really watch the young mistress and the children go with other people?"
The butler was so anxious that he stomped his feet on the spot. He was really worried. Even he, an outsider, couldn't accept it. Huo Nanxiao couldn't possibly not know that Xia Ningxi would never come back after leaving this time. How could he just watch Xia Ningxi leave?
But the truth is, Huo Nanxiao did nothing.
He watched Xia Ningxi get into the car, watched the car drive further and further away, and watched the family of four completely disappear from his sight. Huo Nanxiao's heart was filled with mixed feelings and bitterness.
“If she wants to leave, she can leave. I have no right to stop her,” he said in a deep voice.
The butler's face turned green with anger: "How can you say you're not qualified? You're the family!"
“I have already divorced Xia Ningxi, and I will marry Xia Wanwan later. It is destined that there is no future for us. Since she wants to leave, let her leave. I can't have both sides. We should give each other a satisfactory answer. Let her go if she wants to.” Huo Nanxiao replied.
He went upstairs alone, locked himself in his study, and buried himself in his computer to work.
After the wedding date was announced, things at the company became noticeably busier. Many media outlets also called Huo Nanxiao, wanting to inquire about the details, making Huo Nanxiao even busier.
He looked at the densely packed, unprocessed files on his computer and the countless messages from his friends, many of which were congratulatory. But for some reason, Huo Nanxiao couldn't feel happy at all. He didn't reply to anyone, silently clearing all unread messages with one click. Even when the Xia family asked about the marriage, Huo Nanxiao didn't reply.
Looking at the pile of work, Huo Nanxiao had no mood to deal with it. He leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and couldn't recover for a long time.
On a normal day, at this time you would see children chasing and playing, and you would hear Xia Ningxi scolding them.
But today, the house was extremely quiet, so quiet that Huo Nanxiao could hear even the sound of a leaf falling in the yard clearly.
This home has finally returned to the way Huo Nanxiao wanted it to be.
He put all his work aside and took a cold shower.
When I came out, I was much more awake and started to deal with the work I had missed.
He spent almost all his time on work and didn't pay attention to Xia Ningxi's affairs.
When he finished, it was already midnight. On his way back to his room, he saw that Xia Ningxi's room was empty. There was no trace of Xia Ningxi in it. He turned on the light and went in. The bed was also empty. The toys that were originally scattered all over the floor were now neatly arranged in the corner.
This house is never this tidy normally; it's always a mess.
Now, there's nothing left.
