Chapter 993 Regardless, he deserves it.
Huo Nanxiao: "Ling Xiao or Li Yancheng?"
"Why ask so clearly?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
Huo Nanxiao said, "The Ling family just signed a good project today. The person who came here should be Ling Xiao, right?"
"Yes." Xia Ningxi did not deny it.
"Where is he?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi: "In the private room, do you want to see me?"
"There's no need for that."
Huo Nanxiao refused.
"Okay." Xia Ningxi left decisively.
A girl in a hurry walked towards them, head down cleaning stains on her skirt. She walked very fast and bumped into Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi staggered two steps and almost fell after being hit. When she realized that someone was supporting her shoulder, she turned around and saw that Huo Nanxiao had already hugged half of her body.
"How can you not see where you're going?" Huo Nanxiao scolded angrily.
The girl quickly apologized to Xia Ningxi, "I'm sorry, I was busy tidying up my skirt and didn't pay attention to where I was going. Are you alright?"
"Oh, Mr. Huo, you two know each other?"
Halfway through the conversation, the girl was surprised to discover that the person supporting Xia Ningxi was Huo Nanxiao.
"What do you think?" Huo Nanxiao asked in return.
Chu Tian was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to."
After saying that, she quickly asked Xia Ningxi, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Xia Ningxi replied.
Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Here's what we'll do: this lipstick is brand new, I'll give it to you as a gift, and please forgive my momentary oversight."
"No need." Xia Ningxi declined her offer, smiled politely, and walked past her before leaving.
"Mr. Huo, could you come with me to buy a new dress? I'm embarrassed to go out looking like this," Chu Tian asked apologetically.
"I'm busy." Huo Nanxiao refused without any politeness.
Chu Tian said, "You promised my uncle you would take good care of me, but you didn't keep your word."
She thought Huo Nanxiao would agree, but to her surprise, he pulled out an assistant's business card: "My assistant's phone number is on this. You can contact him if you need anything."
"No, why would I need your assistant? I just want you to come shopping with me," Chu Tian quickly explained.
"I'm married, so I need to avoid suspicion."
Huo Nanxiao left after uttering four words.
He chased after her downstairs and hurriedly caught up with Xia Ningxi, who was just about to take a taxi home.
"No one's seeing you off?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "I have something to do, I'll go back first."
"Where is he?" Huo Nanxiao asked again.
Xia Ningxi said, "I'm upstairs, I haven't finished yet."
"He just lets you take a taxi back like this? He didn't even arrange a driver?" Huo Nanxiao was clearly a little angry.
Xia Ningxi found it somewhat amusing. "I have hands and feet, I can go back by myself, I don't need anyone to take me. Besides, when I was with you, you didn't arrange a driver for me either, did you?"
These words left Huo Nanxiao speechless. He didn't know what to say for a moment, but instead of letting Xia Ningxi take a taxi back, he pulled her into his car.
"Go home?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
"Um."
Xia Ningxi replied indifferently, turned her head to look out the window, and said no more.
The journey back was quiet. On the way, we passed the central square where an old lady was selling balloons under a tree. Huo Nanxiao stopped the car and bought four balloons. He put three in the back seat and Xia Ningxi put one in her hand.
"You bought too many." Xia Ningxi stared at the panda balloon in her hand.
"This is for you," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Ningxi was slightly taken aback, and met Huo Nanxiao's eyes in surprise. He looked away and started the car.
The atmosphere inside the car was somewhat awkward.
Xia Ningxi looked at the panda balloon in her arms, unsure whether to throw it away or keep it. For some reason, holding this thing in her arms just felt a little off.
She dared not look at Huo Nanxiao, afraid that he would notice her unusual behavior, so she could only look out the car window.
"Hot?" Huo Nanxiao suddenly asked.
Xia Ningxi: "No, it's very cool."
"Why is your face so red? Are you sick?" Huo Nanxiao asked again.
Xia Ningxi said, "I'm a grown adult, it's a bit strange that you put such a cute balloon in my arms."
"I didn't intend to buy it for you, I just thought this panda looks like you." Huo Nanxiao's voice was indifferent.
Xia Ningxi froze, staring intently at the balloon in her arms. She looked it up and down several times but couldn't see any resemblance to herself. She asked, "Are you blind? How do I resemble a panda?"
"The clothes they're wearing look similar," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Ningxi then noticed that the panda on the balloon was wearing a pink princess dress, looking adorable. Xia Ningxi herself was also wearing a light pink dress, and she was speechless for a moment.
Huo Nanxiao left me speechless.
She didn't know what to say, so she could only obediently keep her mouth shut.
The car was unusually quiet.
Perhaps because the atmosphere was a bit oppressive, Huo Nanxiao played a light and cheerful song.
Xia Ningxi leaned back in her chair, closed her eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
Huo Nanxiao turned the music down to the lowest volume, and by the time he dropped her off at home, she was already asleep.
He didn't wake the person, but instead opened some windows for ventilation and got out of the car himself.
The three little ones knew that Xia Ningxi had returned, and excitedly ran to the car, only to find that Xia Ningxi was sleeping soundly. Afraid of disturbing her rest, they could only play quietly by the car.
"Why don't you go home to play?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Huo Yuan said, "We want to stay with Mommy, but we're afraid of disturbing her rest."
"Good boy. Go home and play quietly." Huo Nanxiao gently rubbed Huo Yuan's obedient little face.
Huo Yuan glanced at Xia Ningxi reluctantly, nodded, and went home.
The other two younger siblings also returned home.
Chu Chu brought out their toys and started building Lego with her two older brothers.
Huo Nanxiao works alongside the three children, occasionally taking phone calls. Besides company matters, he also has some personal issues, such as interviews with reporters, media probing, questions from friends, and Huo Xiuyuan's anger.
Everything was involved, which kept Huo Nanxiao extremely busy.
Chu Chu couldn't help but complain, "Why does he make so many phone calls?"
"What else could it be? He's busy, of course. With so many wives, choosing just one is exhausting," Xingxing muttered under her breath.
Huo Yuan said, "I heard that Daddy is getting a divorce."
"Really?" Chu Chu's eyes lit up.
Xingxing: "After the divorce, he remarried Xia Luoluo."
Chu Chu's little face crumpled up: "Is she the bad woman who bullied Brother A Yuan? She's even worse than Xia Wanwan, I hate her the most."
Xingxing: "That's right, it's her."
Chu Chu: "Is Daddy blind? He's so rich, why doesn't he see a doctor to check his eyes?"
"Who knows? Maybe even seeing a doctor won't cure it," Xingxing sighed helplessly.
Huo Yuan was a little scared: "Then I won't play with Daddy anymore. I... I don't like Xia Wanwan. She will hit me."
"It's okay, brother, don't be afraid. My sister and I will protect you," Xingxing assured him, patting her chest.
Chu Chu nodded: "I will protect Brother A Yuan. As for Daddy, let the bad woman bully him. We won't interfere. He deserves it."
