Chapter 855 He Likes to Have Two Boats at Once
Xia Ningxi took Huo Nanxiao's words as a joke. She did not answer Huo Nanxiao's words, but lowered her head and gently held Chu Chu's soft little hand, testing the temperature of her forehead.
“You can’t take care of three children by yourself,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi: "I can hire a nanny, and the Ling family will also arrange for someone to take good care of them for me. I am a doctor myself, and I can treat the children when they are sick. It's not as difficult as you imagine."
"Are you resenting me, which is why you don't want to come back to the capital with me?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi chuckled softly: "It's hard to say. We're already in the past. I won't bother you, and you shouldn't bother me either. It's better for everyone this way."
"I know you feel sorry for the children, but please believe me, I will take good care of them, and I am capable of taking good care of them."
She knew in her heart that Huo Nanxiao was saying these things because he couldn't let go of his child.
But even if Huo Nanxiao can't let go of the child, he should understand that their past is over, and she can no longer stay by Huo Nanxiao's side as she did before.
Since we've already broken up, it's not good for either of us to see each other again.
As dawn broke, Xia Ningxi, having stayed up all night, couldn't hold on any longer. She said, "You still have to go to work later, right? Give Chu Chu to me, and you can go and get some rest."
"No need, I'll hold Chu Chu to sleep." Huo Nanxiao carried Chu Chu to the guest room.
He didn't go to the company today, nor did he get up to work; he stayed with Chu Chu the whole time.
Xia Ningxi stayed up with Huo Yuan and Xingxing for a nap, and then got up to make milk powder for the little ones when it was time to drink it.
They were sleeping soundly, but Xia Ningxi disturbed them and made them cry terribly. In the end, Xia Ningxi forced them to drink half a bottle of goat milk before letting them go. As a result, the little ones cried even harder than the other, and almost choked on the milk.
Huo Nanxiao didn't understand: "Why do they have to get up?"
“Children are prone to fainting from hunger if they don’t eat for too long,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Huo Nanxiao gained experience.
He wasn't used to raising children from a young age, so he was a complete novice in this area. If Xia Ningxi hadn't been there to teach him, Huo Nanxiao wouldn't have known how to take care of a child at all.
He couldn't do much to help; all he could do was try to soothe the wailing child.
It took him an hour to calm the three little ones down. He felt sorry for Xia Ningxi and couldn't bear to see her suffer with the three children outside.
But Huo Nanxiao also knew that Xia Ningxi wouldn't listen to anything he said now. If he was too forceful, he might even provoke Xia Ningxi's wrath and she might not even be able to enter his house.
Huo Nanxiao planned to proceed gradually and not rush things.
"Are you hungry? I'll make breakfast," Huo Nanxiao suggested.
Xia Ningxi asked, "What can you do?"
“Steak?” Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi shook her head: "I want to eat noodles."
"I'll try to make it." Huo Nanxiao put the child down and went into the kitchen.
"Let me do it. I don't really like your noodles; they're not good."
Xia Ningxi was slightly disgusted by his cooking skills, so she made a super luxurious breakfast herself.
Huo Nanxiao couldn't help, so he stood by and learned. He discovered that Xia Ningxi liked soft-boiled eggs, and even counted the cooking time.
Twenty minutes later, two servings of seafood noodles were ready. They smelled delicious and looked very appetizing.
Xia Ningxi was starving and ate with great relish.
Huo Nanxiao's lips curved into a smile. He took a bite and found the taste exceptionally delicious. He was surprised: "It's very tasty. It's definitely better than what I make."
"Then you can take care of clearing the table and washing the dishes," Xia Ningxi suggested, seizing the opportunity.
Huo Nanxiao smiled and said, "Okay."
After breakfast, Huo Nanxiao diligently cleaned up the table and even wiped it down, but he was a bit lost when it came to the dishwasher.
"Move aside, I can do it myself." Xia Ningxi pushed Huo Nanxiao aside, placed the bowls one by one in the dishwasher, and pressed the start button.
Huo Nanxiao watched attentively from the side, saying, "I'll do this kind of thing from now on."
"No need, I wouldn't dare trouble Mr. Huo with any work." Xia Ningxi refused decisively.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Can't I live a day without you being sarcastic or sarcastic?"
"President Huo is extremely busy, and the projects he discusses are worth tens or hundreds of billions of dollars every day. How can I let you do such a small thing? It is really unfair for you to live with me. I suggest you go back to your own home."
Xia Ningxi glanced at the open door and said softly, "The children's fevers have gone down. I can take care of them by myself. You can go back now."
“I’m very happy living here,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi: "What's so good about it? I didn't sleep all night, and my eyes are all swollen. I can get a good night's sleep when I get back. We're already divorced, you really don't need to."
Huo Nanxiao was displeased. He stepped forward and put his arm around Xia Ningxi's waist: "It's only natural for me to take care of my own child. If you're worried that I'm tired, I can sleep in your room."
"Can't you understand human language?" Xia Ningxi snapped.
She clearly wanted to get rid of him, not keep Huo Nanxiao. This guy is way too narcissistic!
As soon as she finished cursing, Huo Nanxiao kissed her lips and pulled her forcefully into his arms.
Xia Ningxi was taken aback and hurriedly pushed him away, but no matter how much she struggled, Huo Nanxiao refused to let go even a little. Frustrated, she sobbed, "Let me go."
The man chuckled softly and pulled away from her crimson lips.
Xia Ningxi was seething with anger: "Can't you understand human language? I'm telling you to go back!"
“I’m perfectly fine living here, no need to go back. How about noodles for dinner? I’ve learned how to make them, I’ll cook them for you tonight,” Huo Nanxiao suggested.
The veins on Xia Ningxi's forehead were throbbing; she was angry and punched Huo Nanxiao hard in the chest.
The man winced in pain, frowned, and gripped her wrist tightly, pinning her against the wall. "I advise you not to go too far."
"Are you leaving or not?" Xia Ningxi asked angrily.
Huo Nanxiao: "I'm not leaving."
Xia Ningxi pounced on him and bit him.
Huo Nanxiao frowned even more deeply. "Are you a dog? You bite people at the drop of a hat?"
Xia Ningxi was furious and didn't care about Huo Nanxiao's life or death.
Huo Nanxiao picked her up by the waist and threw her onto the sofa. He then grabbed her hands and pressed her down onto the sofa. She struggled for a while but couldn't break free. She tried to use the steel needles from the first-aid kit to poke him, but she didn't get a chance.
Xia Ningxi was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth.
"Get off me," Xia Ningxi warned angrily.
Huo Nanxiao smiled and said, "If I don't get up, what can you do to me?"
"Don't force me to take action!" Xia Ningxi gritted her teeth.
Huo Nanxiao glanced at her hands, which were being held down. Given the vast difference in strength, it was impossible for her to break free from his grasp. He said with interest, "If you have the ability, you can do it yourself. It's alright."
"You said it yourself." Xia Ningxi suddenly wrapped her legs around Huo Nanxiao's waist, flipped herself off the sofa, and pinned Huo Nanxiao down.
Huo Nanxiao's eyes were full of surprise.
After Xia Ningxi sang "The serfs have turned the tables," she grabbed a cushion and started hitting Huo Nanxiao wildly, yelling, "You dare bully me? You dare threaten me? You're tired of living!"
She was extremely ruthless. Huo Nanxiao seized the opportunity to snatch the pillow from her hand and sent it flying, smashing it directly in front of the glass window of the balcony.
Xia Ningxi was stunned for a few seconds. When she came to her senses, Huo Nanxiao had already grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms. She was thrown uncontrollably into Huo Nanxiao's arms, her cheek brushing against his lips, and a tingling sensation immediately spread from her skin.
She clearly felt Huo Nanxiao's body stiffen, and her cheeks flushed. She hurriedly tried to get off Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao grabbed her back and held her tightly in his arms, preventing Xia Ningxi from moving.
"You...you let me go." Xia Ningxi's voice was slightly hoarse.
Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly: "You got on here yourself."
"I just wanted to beat you up, and now I've had enough." She tried to run away.
Huo Nanxiao had no intention of letting go. He held her close and whispered, "I'm tired."
He closed his eyes and went to sleep, but the hand wrapped around Xia Ningxi's waist showed no sign of moving away.
The more Xia Ningxi struggled, the tighter Huo Nanxiao held her. In the end, Xia Ningxi felt as if Huo Nanxiao was melting her into her bones, his chest pressed against hers, their skin touching. With the slightest movement, she could touch his warm chest.
She also noticed that the more she moved, the hotter Huo Nanxiao's body became, with his body temperature far exceeding normal levels. The burning sensation in her lower abdomen also made her more uneasy.
Having shared a bed with Huo Nanxiao for many years, Huo Nanxiao knew every sensitive spot on her body very well, and so did Xia Ningxi.
She dared not move, fearing that Huo Nanxiao might harbor ill intentions towards her.
This house is so big, and there's no one here at this hour. If Huo Nanxiao really wants to do something to her, she'll be completely helpless.
I'll endure it!
Xia Ningxi dared not move again and obediently lay in Huo Nanxiao's arms.
She was exhausted and didn't have the energy to argue with Huo Nanxiao. She lay in his arms for a short while and then drifted off to sleep. Huo Nanxiao let go of her, but she didn't move.
The sofa was large, and there was also a blanket. Huo Nanxiao covered Xia Ningxi with the blanket and held her as they slept.
Both of them stayed up all night and were extremely tired.
They also failed to notice the child who had already woken up in the guest room.
Huo Yuan was the first to wake up. He got out of bed in a daze and looked around the living room for Xia Ningxi. He finally found Xia Ningxi sleeping on the sofa with Huo Nanxiao. He was a little puzzled. After rubbing his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things, he immediately ran back to the room to wake up Chu Chu and Xing Xing.
The three little ones sat in a row next to the sofa, staring at their mother and Huo Nanxiao with wide eyes.
Huo Yuan: "Have they made up?"
Xingxing was also puzzled: "I don't know, it seems like they've made up."
Chu Chu: "That shouldn't be the case. Mommy said she wouldn't make up with Daddy."
Huo Yuan: "Then why do they sleep together? Mommy usually only holds us when she sleeps."
Chu Chu: "Maybe Daddy is sick too."
Huo Yuan nodded: "That's possible."
Xingxing said, "They made up, but what about Xia Wanwan?"
Chu Chu: "That's easy, just get a divorce."
Huo Yuan: "Grandpa and Grandma don't like Xia Wanwan, so they would probably strongly agree with their divorce."
Xingxing: "But I don't think Daddy will get a divorce. He prefers to have two relationships at the same time."
