Chapter 880 How Many Daddies Do You Have?
Huo Nanxiao had little experience in taking care of children, but he was able to listen to Xia Ningxi's words.
Children are naturally mischievous and it's normal for them to like new things. Huo Nanxiao patiently accompanied the children on a tour, and by the time they had had enough fun, it was already midnight.
The little guy, full and tired from running around, went home, took a hot bath, and fell asleep immediately, impossible to wake up no matter how hard we tried.
Huo Nanxiao originally wanted to say a few words to the children, but seeing them sleeping so soundly, he swallowed all his words.
"I'll sleep with the child tonight," Xia Ningxi suggested.
“Okay.” Huo Nanxiao did not refuse and let Xia Ningxi accompany the children.
He couldn't sleep, so he watched TV downstairs for a while.
When Xia Ningxi got up in the middle of the night, she found Huo Nanxiao asleep on the sofa without a blanket.
The room was cool, so she found a blanket and covered Huo Nanxiao with it. She could clearly feel that his complexion had improved a lot.
"Such a big person doesn't even know how to cover himself with a blanket," Xia Ningxi muttered under her breath.
Huo Nanxiao, who was fast asleep, suddenly opened his eyes. Xia Ningxi was startled and got up to run away.
Huo Nanxiao grabbed her wrist and asked in a low voice, "Why are you running?"
Xia Ningxi's face flushed. "N-no, I wasn't trying to run away. How did you wake up?"
"With the light on so brightly, how could I not wake up?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were asleep in the living room." Xia Ningxi said apologetically.
Huo Nanxiao glanced at the empty water glass on the table, got up to get a cup of hot water, and handed it to her.
"Thank you," Xia Ningxi said politely.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "Can't you sleep?"
"I've been sleeping less these past few days," Xia Ningxi replied.
Huo Nanxiao: "Go sleep in my room. I'll stay with the kids tonight."
"Okay then," Xia Ningxi agreed.
The three children hadn't been back to Lanyuan for a long time and were unfamiliar with the beds at home. They tossed and turned all night, looking like they couldn't sleep well, so Xia Ningxi could only stay with them.
With Huo Nanxiao's words, she finally felt at ease leaving the children in Huo Nanxiao's room to sleep soundly, leaving the three children to him to take care of.
With no worries in her heart, Xia Ningxi slept soundly.
Huo Nanxiao, on the other hand, didn't get much sleep all night. The children would wake up from time to time, either wanting to go to the toilet or wanting milk, and Huo Nanxiao had no choice but to satisfy their requests one by one.
After drinking their milk, the two older brothers slept soundly, while Chu Chu, clutching her little tiger pillow, muttered to herself and couldn't fall asleep. In the end, she stared blankly at Huo Nanxiao with her big, beautiful, grape-like eyes.
"What are you looking at?" Huo Nanxiao asked in a deep voice.
Chu Chu said, "You look like a villain on TV. No, you *are* a villain."
Huo Nanxiao chuckled and replied, "Fine, I am indeed a bad guy."
"Why are you treating us to such a delicious meal?" Chu Chu blinked her beautiful big eyes.
Huo Nanxiao pinched her cute little face: "Because you are all my children, this is what I should do."
“Nonsense, I’m not your child.” Chu Chu denied it.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "Aren't A Yuan and Xing Xing your brothers?"
"Yes," Chu Chu nodded.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I am their daddy, so I am your daddy too."
“But we don’t want you anymore,” Chu Chu replied.
Huo Nanxiao was filled with mixed emotions. He pulled little Chu Chu into his arms and held her gently, saying, "It's okay. No matter what you think, I'm still your daddy. You can ask me for anything you want in the future. I'll even pluck the stars from the sky and give them to you."
"Can you give me all your little money?" Chu Chu's eyes sparkled.
Huo Nanxiao chuckled and poked her cheek: "Don't you already have a lot of money? Isn't that enough? Your piggy bank must be full by now, right?"
“That’s different. I need to save more money so that when I’m ten, I won’t need Mommy to borrow money everywhere for my surgery,” Chu Chu replied.
Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes and asked seriously, "Did your mother borrow money from all over the place before?"
"Yes, back when we were abroad, Mommy didn't have a job. She had to go to school and support us. I was in poor health and needed surgery, but she didn't have any money and had to borrow from others." Chu Chu's voice was soft and sweet.
She looked up, puzzled: "Since you're so rich, why couldn't you lend some money to Mommy back then? You're so generous to others, why aren't you more generous to Mommy?"
One sentence left Huo Nanxiao speechless.
He didn't know how to answer Chu Chu's question and remained silent for a long time.
"If you don't know how to answer, then don't answer. I don't necessarily need an answer, because I already have the answer in my heart." Chu Chu's voice was soft.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Get some sleep."
"I can't sleep, I want to go out and play in the water," Chu Chu suggested.
"No, it's bedtime now, let's go to sleep." Huo Nanxiao rejected her suggestion.
Chu Chu pouted, clearly displeased: "I don't think you're good."
"It's not dawn yet," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Chu Chu: "I can go out to play before dawn. If it were any other daddy, he would definitely agree to my request."
Huo Nanxiao frowned: "How many fathers do you have?"
"I won't tell you," Chu Chu muttered softly.
Huo Nanxiao pinched the little girl's cheek: "Here's your money."
"Even if you give me money, I won't tell you. I'm going to live a life of luxury with my new daddy, and I won't betray them," Chu Chu said in her childish voice.
Huo Nanxiao frowned more and more: "Them? You have several fathers?"
"Pretty much. My mommy's really popular now, a bunch of people are vying to be our daddy." After saying that, Chu Chu didn't forget to roll her eyes at Huo Nanxiao: "You can't win my mommy back."
"You should stay with Xia Wanwan. A big bad guy like you should be with a big bad guy like her. You two are a perfect match."
"As for my mommy, so many people are pursuing her, we can take our time to choose. There are plenty of rich and powerful people, and many people who are more outstanding than you. We don't necessarily need you."
The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, and she immediately distanced herself from Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao was heartbroken. It would be a lie to say he didn't care at all. After all, this was his child, yet she was so focused on having someone else be her father.
Huo Nanxiao couldn't sleep all night, but the little girl chattered for a long time before finally falling asleep on her own.
After daybreak, Huo Nanxiao handed the three children over to the housekeeper and returned to his room.
Xia Ningxi was still fast asleep, and Huo Nanxiao was too lazy to wake her up, so he simply fell asleep next to her.
The servants at home were very sensible and obediently took the three children out to play, not letting them have any chance to disturb Huo Nanxiao and the others' rest, which made the three children very dissatisfied.
However, they had plenty of fun, so they didn't cause too much trouble. After playing around in the amusement park, they went to the heated swimming pool, showing a lot of energy.
After they finished playing, the adults still hadn't woken up.
Huo Yuan said, "Why are Daddy and Mommy still sleeping? It's already noon."
Chu Chu said, "When it was dawn, my bad daddy was still talking to me."
"So he didn't sleep last night. Let's not disturb them and go out to play?" Huo Yuan suggested.
Xingxing said, "Shall we go see Grandpa and Grandma?"
"Okay, okay," Huo Yuan immediately agreed.
Chu Chu said, "Let's bring small gifts. I just saw that we have a lot of snacks at home. Let's bring them to Grandpa and Grandma."
"Okay!" Xingxing nodded in agreement.
Huo Xiuyuan was overjoyed to learn that the three little ones had come to the capital. He had originally planned to go out to play golf with his friends, but he was so happy that he took the three children to the golf course and even bragged about it to his friends.
At their age, money has long become something external; what they are most proud of is good health and a large family.
Xia Ningxi gave birth to triplets for the Huo family at once, and Huo Xiuyuan praised her wherever she went. No one else could have such good fortune.
Most importantly, all three children are very beautiful and cute; anyone who sees them would love them.
Fu Yanghui said with a smile, "Your grandchildren are indeed very lovable. I thought that after Nan Xiao got divorced, these three children would go with Xia Ningxi, but I didn't expect them to still recognize you as their grandfather."
Huo Xiuyuan: "I can't control the children's marriages, but the future heirs of the Huo family will definitely be these three children."
“That’s true.” Fu Yanghui nodded with a smile.
They all knew what kind of people the Xia family were. Not only did Huo Xiuyuan look down on Xia Wanwan's family, but Fu Yanghui also looked down on them.
Both of them simply laughed off the matter between Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan.
The three children were also very well-behaved and obedient, not joining in the adults' conversation, but listening quietly on the side. Wherever Huo Xiuyuan went, they followed, like little shadows, incredibly cute.
When Xia Ningxi woke up, the three little ones were nowhere to be seen. She asked the housekeeper and learned that the three of them had gone to find Huo Xiuyuan. She breathed a sigh of relief.
With nothing to do at home, Xia Ningxi went into the kitchen and spent half a day cooking.
By the time she finished tinkering, Huo Nanxiao had just gotten up and even managed to mooch a meal from her.
"Aren't you going to the company today?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Huo Nanxiao: "Rest."
"Oh," Xia Ningxi replied softly.
Huo Nanxiao: "Where's the child?"
"I went to play ball with Dad," Xia Ningxi replied.
Huo Nanxiao said, "The clothes at home are too small. Come with me in a little while and we'll buy the kids a couple more outfits."
"Really? Don't you have a lot of clothes at home?" Xia Ningxi was surprised.
Huo Nanxiao said, "The child is growing fast, and his clothes are all too short. Last night, when Chuchu turned over in his sleep, his belly was exposed. He might catch a cold."
“Okay, then we’ll buy them a few more sets of larger clothes to change into.” Xia Ningxi readily agreed.
After eating and drinking their fill, they went to a nearby shopping mall with Huo Nanxiao.
Coincidentally, the mall was owned by Huo Nanxiao, and the staff in the children's clothing store all recognized him. When they saw him arrive, they immediately went to greet him.
"Hello, Mr. Huo!"
A chorus of greetings, uttered with utmost respect.
Soon all the shop assistants' eyes fell on Xia Ningxi: "This must be Mrs. Huo, right? Hello, Madam."
Xia Ningxi felt a little embarrassed and looked at Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao showed no intention of explaining.
There were already more than a dozen child models waiting in the store. They were all about the same age and height as Huo Yuan and the others. They wore the store's new clothes one by one to show them off.
Apart from a few outdated and mismatched styles, Huo Nanxiao bought all the rest.
The shop assistant asked with a smile, "Mr. Huo, would you like it delivered to the previous address again?"
"Hmm," Huo Nanxiao responded indifferently.
In the afternoon, a truckload of new clothes was delivered to the Xia family.
