Chapter 895 I Can't Indulge You Forever
Xia Ningxi was in a great mood and didn't dislike Xia Wanwan as much anymore. Now she just wanted to make the couple disgust each other.
Anyway, she's an outsider, so let's make it as lively as possible!
"Sister Wanwan, you've finally arrived! President Huo is staying here and doesn't want to leave." Xia Ningxi said with a smile.
Xia Wanwan's already unpleasant expression turned even worse. She hadn't expected Xia Ningxi to bring this matter to the forefront so directly, and her smile, which she was already struggling to maintain, froze on her face.
Xia Jingcheng added inappropriately, "Aren't you two married? It seems that President Huo likes to eat alone. Wanwan, this is not good. As his wife, you should keep a closer eye on him."
Xia Wanwan thought to herself: How could I possibly control Huo Nanxiao! Every time he comes to see Xia Ningxi, he hides it from her and never tells her!
But Xia Wanwan didn't dare say such things, as it would be embarrassing for her.
She had worked so hard to get to where she was now, and she had tried her best to appear to the outside world as someone who was highly valued by Huo Nanxiao. She couldn't possibly reveal her true colors.
“We’re all family. It’s normal for Nan Xiao to miss the children and come to see them.” Xia Wanwan pretended to be relaxed.
Huo Nanxiao didn't want to see Xia Wanwan in this kind of place. He said to Xia Wanwan, "You're not feeling well, so don't come to places like this in the future."
"It's just a meal, and Ning Xi invited me so warmly. How could I, as her older sister, refuse?" Xia Wanwan asked with a smile.
Huo Nanxiao was very unhappy.
Xia Wanwan took the initiative to walk to the opposite side of Huo Nanxiao, pulled out a chair and sat down.
The three little ones lost all interest in playing after seeing Xia Wanwan. They took their toys and walked far away, avoiding the two of them.
Xingxing was a little confused by Xia Ningxi's actions, so she went to the kitchen to ask, "Why did Mommy call that mistress here?"
"Don't you guys find Huo Nanxiao annoying?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
Xingxing: "Daddy is annoying, but Xia Wanwan is even more annoying."
Xia Ningxi smiled and ruffled Xingxing's hair. "Evil people will be punished by evil people. Since Xia Wanwan has come to our house so many times, Huo Nanxiao won't come anymore."
"Really?" Xingxing was skeptical.
Xia Ningxi: "Just you wait and see."
Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan sat facing each other in the garden. Neither of them said anything, but even from a distance, you could feel the tension emanating from them.
Xia Wanwan appeared kind and gentle on the surface, but her hands were clenched into fists under the table.
She was angry; she was angry that Huo Nanxiao had secretly met with Xia Ningxi behind her back.
Huo Nanxiao was also angry that Xia Wanwan was here.
Both of them looked very unpleasant.
Xia Jingcheng had already prepared dinner, but he didn't plan to invite Huo Nanxiao and the others in to eat. Instead, he took out a bag of sunflower seeds from the drawer and stuffed it into Xia Ningxi's hand, saying, "Go out and take a look."
Xia Ningxi left the kitchen clutching sunflower seeds, found a seat far away, and watched Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan confront each other from afar, happily munching on sunflower seeds.
The three little ones also sensed that something was wrong, and silently walked over to Xia Ningxi's side. Like Xia Ningxi, they held a handful of melon seeds in each hand and sat down to watch the show.
Huo Yuan: "Daddy looks terrible."
Xingxing: "The mistress caught him red-handed, no wonder he looked so happy."
Chu Chu: "Will they fight?"
Xingxing shook her head: "I don't think so."
Chu Chu: "Why?"
Huo Yuan: "What if Daddy makes a move and she lies on the ground? She's a master of pretense."
“That’s true.” Xingxing also thought what she said made perfect sense.
One adult and three children sat side by side, watching the excitement.
As expected, Xia Wanwan and Huo Nanxiao started arguing outside the door. Xia Wanwan became agitated: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"It's not a big deal, there's no need to tell you." Huo Nanxiao's tone was indifferent, cold, and distant.
Xia Wanwan: "We're family. Would I be angry because you came to see the child?"
“You shouldn’t have come here,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Wanwan's voice was hoarse: "You haven't come home to see me in a long time. Where have you been these past few days? Have you really been at the company every single day?"
“I told you long ago that I would be very busy, and that you should stay in the capital to recover. I thought you were already prepared.” Huo Nanxiao frowned.
Xia Wanwan: "I was mentally prepared, but I don't understand why? You have time to come see Xia Ningxi, so why can't you come home to see me? Is it because I'm in that home that you don't want to go back?"
"Wanwan, you've crossed the line."
Huo Nanxiao replied casually, but his words plunged Xia Wanwan into despair.
Xia Wanwan felt all her strength drain away, and she slumped weakly into a chair, her voice hoarse: "Do you know what people outside are saying?"
“They said I was so pitiful, just a canary kept in your house.”
"They said that even though you're divorced, you're still deeply in love with Xia Ningxi."
"You came to Lingcheng to develop your career, all for Xia Ningxi. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do. I think they're right. If I hadn't married you, you wouldn't have lost such a good family."
"So, you regret it, right?"
Xia Wanwan stared intently at Huo Nanxiao, wanting nothing more than an answer.
Huo Nanxiao said, "All I'm giving you is a title, and you've known that from the beginning, haven't you?"
"I—" Xia Wanwan was speechless, choked by these words and not knowing what to say.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Xia Ningxi invited you here just to embarrass me and create a rift between us. You can refuse all her invitations in the future."
"But she's also my sister. How can I, as her older sister, embarrass her?" Xia Ningxi asked, puzzled.
Huo Nanxiao smiled: "If you really treated her like a sister, you wouldn't have repeatedly indulged your family members in their wrongdoings."
"Are you blaming me?" Xia Wanwan's tears flowed like a burst dam.
Huo Nanxiao: "They are your family, and you should set a good example. I can't spoil you forever."
"Heh." Xia Wanwan laughed, but the more she laughed, the faster her tears fell.
The onlookers in the distance cracked sunflower seeds with gusto, enjoying the spectacle.
Xia Wanwan was scolded to tears, which was something her family never expected.
Xingxing was puzzled: "Mommy, doesn't Daddy spoil this mistress a lot? Why is he yelling at her? Look how ugly she looks crying. What if I have nightmares tonight?"
"Pfft." Xia Ningxi laughed out loud and patted Xingxing's head: "You're so cheeky."
Huo Yuan: "Does Daddy not like Xia Wanwan? That's why he made her cry."
"I don't know." Xia Ningxi didn't know Huo Nanxiao's true thoughts either.
Chu Chu, however, said in a serious tone: "It must be the mistress demanding money; she's crying because she can't get it."
Star: "Do you think everyone is like you?"
"What's wrong with being like me? I have plenty of money!" the young rich woman replied angrily.
Xingxing: "You can't do anything with that little money. Xia Wanwan wants so many things. Look at how she's crying. She must have been upset by Daddy."
They were too far apart to hear each other's conversation, but judging from their expressions, it was clear that they had a conflict.
