Chapter 848 Declaring Sovereignty
Xia Ningxi was deeply shocked.
Huo Nanxiao, however, acted as if nothing was wrong and quietly went about his work without saying anything more.
Xia Ningxi was puzzled. Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan had been married for some time now, and during that time Xia Wanwan had consulted many obstetricians and gynecologists, all in the hopes of having a child.
Without Huo Nanxiao's help, Xia Wanwan wouldn't have been able to give birth on her own.
"Oh, I didn't ask you about that. Xia Wanwan wants you to go back to see her, and I think you should go back." Xia Ningxi changed the subject.
Huo Nanxiao continued to play dumb, and even instructed Ye Su to contact the company's senior management to prepare for an online video conference.
Xia Ningxi found him quite annoying. This hospital room had become Huo Nanxiao's office. She walked over and closed Huo Nanxiao's computer. "Since you're so busy, go back to work at the company. This is a hospital, not your private office. Your coming and going in the hospital every day has a big impact on me. I don't want you here affecting my work."
She immediately ordered them to leave.
Huo Nanxiao's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly pulled Xia Ningxi into his arms.
Xia Ningxi lost her balance and stumbled into the man's broad embrace. She struggled, but Huo Nanxiao forcefully restrained her body, pressing her firmly into his arms.
They looked down and their eyes met.
Huo Nanxiao said, "If you don't want me to bother you here, you can let me move into your new home."
"What a joke." Xia Ningxi disagreed.
Huo Nanxiao pinched her cheek: "I'm serious."
"I disagree." Xia Ningxi's attitude was very firm.
Huo Nanxiao pinched her chin: "You can disagree, and I can come to the hospital every day. I happen to have nothing to do lately, so I can visit the children in my spare time. As their biological father, I have the right to visit them every day."
"You're clearly interfering with my work," Xia Ningxi said through gritted teeth.
Huo Nanxiao smiled and said, "You can understand it that way."
"What about Xia Wanwan? She's waiting for you to come back. I've already told her that you're here with me, and she must be feeling terrible right now. If I were you, I would go back to be with her immediately, instead of leaving her alone in the hotel. Besides, she's a patient and needs your care even more."
As an ex-wife, Xia Ningxi has been quite generous.
Xia Wanwan sent her so many messages and contacted her countless times, each time inquiring about Huo Nanxiao. She couldn't believe that Xia Wanwan hadn't taken the initiative to contact Huo Nanxiao.
She couldn't understand why Huo Nanxiao was neglecting Xia Wanwan after all these years, when he finally got to be with Xia Wanwan and they could live happily ever after just by holding hands.
Did he suddenly realize that Xia Ningxi was more important after the divorce?
Xia Ningxi scoffed, her beautiful eyes falling on Huo Nanxiao: "If I were you, I would cherish Xia Wanwan. She is still sick. As long as you are willing to patiently accompany her and find some good doctors to help her recover, she will be able to have children for you in no time."
“A Yuan, Xing Xing, and Chu Chu have all chosen me. Even if you want to take custody of the child, you can’t raise him to be a good parent. It’s better to let Xia Wanwan give you another child that belongs to both of you.”
"Although Mom and Dad don't like Xia Wanwan, as long as she can bear children for the Huo family, they will naturally accept her in time. You really don't need to waste your energy on me; it's meaningless."
Xia Ningxi earnestly reminded Huo Nanxiao that this was a very good suggestion.
But Huo Nanxiao was furious after hearing these words. His cold fingers gripped Xia Ningxi's chin tightly, and he said, word by word, "You really want me to have a child with her?"
“Yes,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Huo Nanxiao tightened his grip on her hand, saying, "She can't possibly be pregnant with my child."
"She just can't have children right now. After another three to five years of recuperation, having a child won't be a problem," Xia Ningxi said.
Huo Nanxiao didn't say a word, but bit Xia Ningxi's face hard.
Xia Ningxi yelled in pain, "Are you a dog or something?"
Huo Nanxiao casually picked up a grape from the fruit plate and stuffed it into her mouth, silencing all her subsequent curses.
Xia Ningxi was so angry that she was trembling all over. This time, Huo Nanxiao directly stuffed an apple into her mouth. She choked and was completely speechless. It took a lot of effort to spit out the apple from her mouth. She then pounced on Huo Nanxiao and bit his neck fiercely.
"Be gentle." Huo Nanxiao frowned.
Xia Ningxi ignored him completely and bit Huo Nanxiao's neck until it bled.
He didn't struggle, letting Xia Ningxi rage for a while. By the time she finished venting, Huo Nanxiao's neck was covered with dense teeth marks, which looked quite frightening.
"Have you vented enough?" Huo Nanxiao asked casually.
Xia Ningxi snorted coldly: "No."
“I need to work,” Huo Nanxiao said.
This guy didn't think he was wrong to stay here, and even acted as if Xia Ningxi was innocently disturbing his work, making Xia Ningxi feel like she was in Huo Nanxiao's ward.
Fortunately, she has almost fully recovered and is now able to be discharged from the hospital.
In the evening, Xia Ningxi went to complete the discharge procedures and also notified Ling Xiao.
He personally drove to pick Xia Ningxi up and took her home, where he briefly met Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao didn't treat him well, so naturally he wouldn't let Xia Ningxi go with him.
“I’ve already bought her a house, so there’s no need to bother Mr. Ling anymore,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Ling Xiao smiled politely: "Thank you, Mr. Huo, but it seems unnecessary. Xia Ningxi has nothing to do with you anymore. She lives in her own home and doesn't need to move out. I own many houses. If she wants to move out, she can choose any one in Lingcheng. She won't have to be reduced to relying on her ex-husband for support."
Ling Xiao emphasized the word "ex-husband" very heavily.
Huo Nanxiao's cold face instantly darkened, and his aura became terrifyingly menacing, as if the surrounding temperature had dropped by more than ten degrees in that instant.
"Is Mr. Ling asserting his sovereignty over me?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.
"Mr. Huo is joking. I have no competitive relationship with you, so how can you claim sovereignty? I just want to remind you that you are already married. Your new wife is Xia Wanwan, and she is now waiting for you all alone." Ling Xiao was very calm, but his words were very sarcastic.
Anyone could tell that he was deliberately being sarcastic.
He deliberately stabbed Huo Nanxiao in the back.
Xia Ningxi knew she should keep her distance from Huo Nanxiao, and decisively refused him: "Mr. Ling and I have other things to do, so we won't trouble you to see us off, Mr. Huo. You've been staying at the hospital for a few days, so you should go back and spend time with Xia Wanwan."
After saying that, she grabbed Ling Xiao's hand and quickly left.
