Chapter 847 We Haven't Slept
"Young Madam, I'm sorry, you're still injured and need to rest." The bodyguard was very accommodating.
Xia Ningxi's face darkened: "Are you all blind? I'm not Xia Wanwan. I've already divorced Huo Nanxiao. He has no right to tell me what to do. Get out of the way."
"Sorry." The bodyguard closed his eyes, but the 1.9-meter-tall man didn't move an inch, blocking the door completely, and Xia Ningxi couldn't get out at all.
She was injured at the moment and had no choice but to suppress her anger, even with several bodyguards around.
She sat in her hospital room watching TV dramas all morning, while Huo Nanxiao sat opposite her working. Although he didn't speak to Xia Ningxi, Xia Ningxi couldn't stand the sight of him.
She angrily messaged Ling Shuang: "Could you send a few people over to kick Huo Nanxiao out?"
Ling Shuang hesitated: "This... is a bit difficult."
Xia Ningxi: "Isn't Lingcheng your territory? Is it so hard to drive away one or two people?"
Ling Shuang: "Others can, but Huo Nanxiao really can't."
If it were anyone else, Ling Shuang could have used her power to bully them and forcefully kick them out, but Huo Nanxiao wasn't afraid of her at all, nor did he give the Ling family any face.
In the past few days, they had tried other ways to keep Huo Nanxiao away from Xia Ningxi, but Huo Nanxiao simply ignored her.
Ling Shuang couldn't do anything about Huo Nanxiao, and Xia Ningxi was helpless as well.
According to Huo Nanxiao, he couldn't leave unless she was discharged from the hospital.
Xia Ningxi was also impressed. Did he think everyone was Xia Wanwan, and that he dreamed of being with her?
Huo Nanxiao had no idea that during the two days he was at the hospital taking care of her, Xia Wanwan had sent Xia Ningxi dozens of messages, mostly inquiring about Huo Nanxiao's whereabouts.
Xia Ningxi thought Xia Wanwan was also a weirdo. She clearly missed Huo Nanxiao so much, but she was unwilling to take the initiative to ask him to go back. Instead, she insisted on pretending in front of Xia Ningxi, hoping that Xia Ningxi would personally kick Huo Nanxiao out.
Xia Ningxi completely ignored her; she had no intention of doing things according to Xia Wanwan's wishes.
She simply ignored Huo Nanxiao and pretended not to see the messages Xia Wanwan sent.
During Xia Ningxi's hospital stay, Tang En frequently visited her. Almost every time he came, he saw Huo Nanxiao sitting in her hospital room working, which annoyed Tang En.
"Is he still not leaving?" Don asked.
Xia Ningxi: "Who knows?"
“You’re almost fully recovered, it’s time to be discharged. Just stay at my place,” Don suggested.
Xia Ningxi readily agreed: "Okay."
"How many children can live there?"
A cold, questioning voice suddenly came from behind them.
Don's face darkened: "You were eavesdropping on our conversation?"
Huo Nanxiao put down the file in his hand, opened the drawer, took out a red booklet, and walked up to Xia Ningxi.
“A 600-square-meter villa in the city center, with convenient transportation, is also convenient for your commute. It's enough for you and your child to live in. There's no need to squeeze in with unimportant people.”
What was thrown into Xia Ningxi's arms was a red booklet. She stared at it closely and saw that it was a property ownership certificate with her name on it.
Don was taken aback by this move, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Xia Ningxi threw the property certificate on the table: "I don't want your things."
“My child can’t be crammed with other children. Even if you don’t want him, you have to think about the child.” Huo Nanxiao said sternly.
Xia Ningxi was speechless. A 600-square-meter villa in the center of Lingcheng City would cost at least 70 to 80 million yuan. With her current income, she really couldn't easily afford such a large house.
Forget it, Huo Nanxiao is rich, I won't argue with him.
"Is it a villa that's given to me and my child separately?" Xia Ningxi asked earnestly.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Yes."
"Then can I decide who can't enter my house?" Xia Ningxi asked again.
Huo Nanxiao: "You can keep anyone out except me."
Xia Ningxi fell silent; she didn't want to pay any attention to Huo Nanxiao.
However, staying at Ling Xiao's house all the time wasn't a good idea, and Xia Ningxi didn't want to bother him too much, so she simply agreed to Huo Nanxiao's suggestion.
The news somehow reached the ears of the Xia family. Xia Ningxi received several phone calls from Zhou Fenglin, most of which were insults directed at her. Xia Ningxi ignored them, so Zhou Fenglin sent her a bunch of text messages.
"What right do you have to live in Huo Nanxiao's villa? My daughter is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. Every penny Huo Nanxiao has is their joint property. Get out of the villa."
"You little slut, you're divorced and still desperately trying to seduce Huo Nanxiao. You should take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Huo Nanxiao would never be interested in you. Get out of the country right now, or I'll make you regret it."
"You bitch, reply to my message now! You piece of trash, why aren't you answering me?!"
Zhou Fenglin is getting more and more crazy, sending one or two hundred messages in half a day, almost every one of which is "greeting" Xia Ningxi's ancestors for eighteen generations.
Xia Ningxi thought she really should go to the hospital to have her brain checked, but after kindly reminding her, Zhou Fenglin scolded her.
Xia Ningxi didn't want to waste time arguing with this kind of person, so she called Xia Wanwan and said, "Keep your mother locked up. Don't bother me all day long when you're bored."
"What did she do?" Xia Wanwan was very confused.
Xia Ningxi sent a screenshot of the text message Zhou Fenglin sent to Xia Wanwan.
Xia Wanwan immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't know she did such a thing, I'm really sorry."
"You've been in Lingcheng for a while now, when are you going back?" Xia Ningxi asked impatiently.
Xia Wanwan said, "The investigation into your car accident is still ongoing. I can't move around freely right now, and it will be a long time before we get any news."
"I understand." Xia Ningxi didn't want to say more and was about to hang up the phone.
"Wait a minute." Xia Wanwan called out to her, asking anxiously, "Is Nan Xiao with you? He hasn't come to see me for many days, and I miss him very much."
"You don't have his phone number?" Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled.
Xia Wanwan smiled bitterly: "Since the time you had the accident, he hasn't come home. He's been staying with you. I've tried to contact him a few times, but almost every time he made excuses about work. I know he's definitely at the hospital with you. I know that."
"I just don't understand why. You've already chosen to divorce, which proves that Nan Xiao isn't the best choice for you, so why are you still with him?"
Xia Ningxi chuckled: "Don't you understand? He's never been the kind of person who stays faithful to one person. If you want to keep him, you should find a way yourself. It's no use coming to me. If I knew how to keep him by my side, the child wouldn't be without a father. Come to me? You've come to the wrong person."
Xia Ningxi felt that Xia Wanwan was a bit dim-witted. No matter what, Xia Wanwan was the third party who interfered in her marriage. If she couldn't keep Huo Nanxiao, she should find a way herself.
But Xia Wanwan was quite something; she actually had the audacity to ask Xia Ningxi why!
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ningxi returned to her ward.
Huo Nanxiao is still alive.
She couldn't stay in this hospital for even a day longer. "You should go back home now. Xia Wanwan is waiting for you at home."
"She'll be fine with a nanny taking care of her," Huo Nanxiao said with relief.
Xia Ningxi said, "She just asked about you. She heard that you haven't been back since I was hospitalized. She's sleeping alone at night and the blankets are cold. She needs you to warm the blankets for her."
Huo Nanxiao's slender, pale hands froze on the keyboard, his face dark and gloomy: "We didn't sleep together."
