Chapter 894 Using Magic to Defeat Magic
After the Ling family released the news, the news of Xia Ningxi's upcoming marriage spread like wildfire. Not only was Huo Nanxiao angry, but the Huo family members were also anxious.
But Huo Xiuyuan understood that as an elder, he had no right to interfere with Xia Ningxi, so he could only put pressure on Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao, who was already in a bad mood, was now in an even worse mood. He was like a cannonball, ready to explode at any moment.
Now things are tough for everyone in the company.
The Xia family, on the other hand, were overjoyed. They had been worried that Xia Ningxi would become entangled with Huo Nanxiao, but in the past few days, they had stopped contacting Xia Ningxi.
The initial insults turned into praise, with people constantly complimenting her and Ling Xiao on how well-matched they were.
Even when Xia Wanwan stood in front of Huo Nanxiao, she couldn't help but say that they were a perfect match.
In the end, Huo Nanxiao simply ignored Xia Wanwan and focused all his attention on his work. If Xia Wanwan came to the company to see him, he would simply have his secretary handle it.
Over time, everyone in the company knew that Xia Wanwan was not favored and was not liked by Huo Nanxiao, and everyone's attitude towards Xia Wanwan became increasingly indifferent.
Xia Wanwan was self-aware; although she was dissatisfied, she couldn't say anything.
Huo Nanxiao bought a private villa in Lingcheng, near his company, and he lives there alone most of the time.
After arriving in Lingcheng, Xia Wanwan went straight to Huo Nanxiao's villa.
She is now Huo Nanxiao's wife, and even if Huo Nanxiao ignores her, the servants in the house will take good care of her.
But the servants soon discovered that Huo Nanxiao, who used to come home every day, had stopped coming home after Xia Wanwan moved into the villa.
He has been living at the new company, and all his needs, including food, clothing, and accommodation, are met within the company premises.
Even if Xia Wanwan was stupid, she could tell that Huo Nanxiao didn't want to talk to her.
Xia Wanwan was very sad, but there was nothing she could do. She could only stay alone in her empty room every day.
As Huo Nanxiao's cooperation with the Ling family deepened, Xia Ningxi frequently saw Huo Nanxiao.
Every time she saw Huo Nanxiao, she would run away in advance, but many times Xia Ningxi couldn't escape even if she wanted to.
That day, as soon as she pushed open the door to Ling Xiao's office, she saw Huo Nanxiao sitting inside. She was embarrassed and subconsciously took a step back.
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "You're here, come in."
Xia Ningxi forced a polite smile and went inside.
Huo Nanxiao raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, his gaze deep, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
Xia Ningxi ignored him and said to Ling Xiao, "This is the latest research result from our lab. Take a look."
Ling Xiao pressed down the document and said, "You handle it. Just tell Ling Shuang how much R&D funding you need, and she will transfer it to your account."
"Okay." Xia Ningxi nodded and turned to leave.
Huo Nanxiao, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "I happen to have something to do, so let her see me off."
Xia Ningxi was taken aback.
Ling Xiao glanced at her thoughtfully and then agreed.
Completely bewildered, Xia Ningxi could only suppress her impatience as she saw Huo Nanxiao out of the company.
She didn't say a word the whole way, like a silent gourd.
Huo Nanxiao sneered: "You certainly know how to ask for the moon. When you were with me, you didn't want anything, but when you're with Ling Xiao, you want money for everything."
“Our lab collaborates with Ling Xiao; it’s not as bad as you imagine,” Xia Ningxi retorted angrily.
Huo Nanxiao said, "What kind of cooperation could make him invest in you without any limits? He's not stupid."
“I’m beautiful, he’s interested in me and willing to spend money on me, okay?” Xia Ningxi retorted.
Veins were faintly bulging on Huo Nanxiao's handsome face.
Xia Ningxi didn't want to pay him any attention. After seeing him to the door, she said rudely, "I'll leave you here. Mr. Huo, go back to where you came from. If you see me again, please pretend you don't know me."
"I want to see the children," Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi: "I'm busy, I won't see you."
“That’s my child too, your opinion doesn’t count,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Ningxi was very dissatisfied: "It has nothing to do with you anymore, stop trying to make yourself look good."
"Heh." Huo Nanxiao scoffed coldly, said nothing, and turned to get into the car.
Xia Ningxi ignored him and went about her own business. But when she got home from get off work and saw Huo Nanxiao sitting leisurely with his legs crossed in her garden, she was completely taken aback.
"Who let him in?" Xia Ningxi asked angrily.
The three little ones who were playing in the mud were startled and trembled. They all thought Xia Ningxi was scolding them, and they were too nervous to make a sound. They didn't dare to move the small shovels they were holding.
Huo Nanxiao: "I have the key."
"Did I give you permission to come?" Xia Ningxi questioned.
Huo Nanxiao: "Is it wrong for me to come see my own child?"
"I didn't agree." Xia Ningxi said coldly.
Huo Nanxiao shrugged indifferently. He didn't care whether Xia Ningxi agreed or not. Anyway, the child was his, and he could come and go as he pleased. Xia Ningxi couldn't refuse even if she wanted to.
His nonchalant attitude infuriated Xia Ningxi, yet she was helpless against him.
Xia Ningxi stormed into the house.
Xia Jingcheng looked at her and sighed helplessly.
"Brother, why don't you kick him out?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Xia Jingcheng: "We can't get rid of them."
Xia Jingcheng did everything he could, but Huo Nanxiao was a shameless person who used the excuse of looking after the children to stay here and refused to leave. Xia Jingcheng couldn't very well fight with him in front of the children, so he could only endure it.
Well, Xia Ningxi is at her wit's end with Huo Nanxiao.
She changed her shoes, feeling annoyed, and went into the kitchen to help prepare the vegetables.
"By the way, does Xia Wanwan also live in Lingcheng?" Xia Ningxi suddenly asked.
Xia Jingcheng: "Yes, why did you suddenly bring her up?"
“We’re all family, why don’t we invite them over for a meal?” Xia Ningxi suggested.
Xia Jingcheng: Are you alright? Did you invite Xia Wanwan to our house?
"If she doesn't come, Huo Nanxiao definitely won't leave tonight."
Based on Xia Ningxi's understanding of Huo Nanxiao, he definitely wouldn't leave tonight.
If he gets comfortable living here, he might stay here forever, and if word gets out, wouldn't that cause a lot of gossip?
In that case, let's use magic to defeat magic.
Xia Ningxi made up her mind.
Half an hour later, Xia Wanwan, who was too weak to take care of herself, arrived late.
Huo Nanxiao's expression stiffened noticeably when he saw her, while Xia Wanwan pretended to be relaxed and even brought gifts for the three little ones, presenting them to them with a smile.
The three little ones politely accepted it, and within five seconds, they stuffed it into Huo Nanxiao's arms.
Clearly, they don't like Xia Wanwan.
Huo Nanxiao's face turned cold as he asked, "Why are you here?"
“I invited her here. I heard that Sister Wanwan has been staying in Lingcheng recently, and I was worried that she would be all alone without anyone to keep her company, so I specially invited her to have dinner together. I hope President Huo will not have any objections?” Xia Ningxi smiled politely.
Huo Nanxiao's knuckles were cracking, and his eyes were practically spitting fire as he looked at Xia Ningxi.
