Chapter 236 Huo Nanxiao Keeps Her
Xia Ningxi carried Huo Yuan back to Huo Nanxiao's room.
The little guy obediently got into Huo Nanxiao's big bed without making a sound.
Huo Nanxiao felt uneasy. He walked to the bedside with a stern face, but as soon as he got close, Huo Yuan shifted his position, widening the distance between them. Clearly, he didn't want to be with Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao noticed the subtle movement, and his handsome face darkened slightly.
Xia Ningxi asked, "You're sleeping in the guest room?"
"No, I'll sleep with you all!" Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
Huo Yuan muttered under his breath, "There's a room next door, can't Daddy sleep there?"
“No,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Huo Yuan could only tug at Xia Ningxi's sleeve in a pitiful manner without saying a word.
Xia Ningxi was in an awkward situation. She wanted to leave but couldn't, so she had no choice but to stay.
She said to Huo Yuan, "Go to sleep quietly, I will stay by your side."
Huo Yuan said, "Then can you sleep with me?"
Xia Ningxi glanced at Huo Nanxiao...
This is Huo Nanxiao's bed...
Is it inappropriate for the three of them to sleep in one bed?
But Huo Yuan didn't care about any of that and insisted on making Xia Ningxi sleep with him.
Huo Yuan was quite good at finding a place. He didn't sleep between the two of them, but found a corner, hugged his small pillow, and let Xia Ningxi sleep in the middle.
In Huo Yuan's words, he didn't like Huo Nanxiao, so he didn't want to sleep with Huo Nanxiao.
But this puts Xia Ningxi in a difficult position.
She lay nervously between the father and son, resembling a dividing line.
Although she didn't know why Huo Yuan suddenly disliked Huo Nanxiao so much, Xia Ningxi was certain that if she left, Huo Yuan would definitely cry again.
To ensure the little one could sleep peacefully, Xia Ningxi had no choice but to obediently act as the dividing line.
Fortunately, Huo Yuan was already sleepy and fell asleep soon after.
Xia Ningxi reached out and poked him twice, but Huo Yuan was fast asleep and didn't react at all, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She turned around to get out of bed, but because she was too close to Huo Nanxiao, she accidentally bumped into his arms. Her forehead hit Huo Nanxiao's chin, and Xia Ningxi groaned in pain. Huo Nanxiao immediately covered her mouth.
She opened her eyes wide in surprise, looked at the man in front of her, and blinked.
"Don't wake the child," Huo Nanxiao said in a low voice.
Xia Ningxi nodded, and gently poked Huo Nanxiao's large hand covering her with her little finger, signaling him to take his hand away.
Seeing that Xia Ningxi was relatively well-behaved, Huo Nanxiao let go of her hand.
Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Children sleep very soundly after they fall asleep, and they are not so easy to wake up."
The man raised an eyebrow, half believing and half doubting.
Xia Ningxi said, "You stay with him, I should go back."
"Go back where?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "Let's go home."
"It's so late, and you're still staying here?" Huo Nanxiao's attitude was firm.
Xia Ningxi said, "No."
Huo Nanxiao said, "If A Yuan wakes up again in the middle of the night and keeps asking to see you, where am I supposed to find you?"
This question stumped Xia Ningxi, and she didn't know how to answer it for a moment.
"Then I'll sleep in the next room," she suggested.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Since A Yuan wants you to stay with him, you should stay here obediently and not go anywhere."
Xia Ningxi: "..."
She couldn't leave, so she had no choice but to lie between the father and son. She didn't know why, but even though she hadn't done anything, her heart was beating faster for no reason.
Especially when she realized that she was only a palm's width away from Huo Nanxiao, and could touch his chest if she turned around, Xia Ningxi felt terrible.
Although the three of them had slept in the same bed several times before, the child was always sandwiched between them, and Xia Ningxi was just a little uncomfortable at most.
But now...
Her heart was inexplicably racing, and her breathing became rapid.
She felt uncomfortable and whispered, "I'll sleep on the sofa."
"What do you mean? Do you want A-Yuan to accuse me of abusing you when he wakes up tomorrow?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.
Xia Ningxi said, "No, I just feel it's not appropriate for the two of us to lie in the same bed, so you can sleep in the bed with the child, and I'll sleep on the sofa."
"Can't."
Huo Nanxiao refused without even thinking.
Xia Ningxi felt very resentful, wondering if Huo Nanxiao was deliberately trying to go against her.
What is their relationship now?
Is it appropriate to lie on the same bed?
What will happen to her reputation if word gets out?
Huo Nanxiao is such a grown man, doesn't he even know the most basic principle of avoiding suspicion?
Xia Ningxi couldn't help but curse under her breath.
The next second, her chin was grabbed, and Xia Ningxi looked at Huo Nanxiao in surprise: "What are you doing?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "You dare to swear?"
Xia Ningxi thought to herself: How did this bastard know?
She looked completely innocent: "No."
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking." Huo Nanxiao's cold voice was devoid of any warmth.
Xia Ningxi gave a forced smile, but she was extremely annoyed. She didn't know why Huo Nanxiao, that bastard, was so sensitive. He knew all the swear words she was saying in her head. It seemed she still couldn't curse in front of this guy.
Xia Ningxi didn't dare to speak anymore and lay obediently on the soft bed. However, because Huo Nanxiao was lying next to her, she was on edge and unable to fall asleep.
In the darkness, the man's even breathing was particularly clear in the quiet room. Xia Ningxi was leaning against Huo Nanxiao's side and could even hear his heartbeat, which was very fast.
She was surprised to find that Huo Nanxiao's heartbeat was clearly abnormal.
Confused, Xia Ningxi, out of professional habit, subconsciously placed her hand on Huo Nanxiao's chest. The moment she touched Huo Nanxiao's stiff chest, a large hand immediately grasped hers.
She was startled and frantically pulled her hand back, but the man flipped her over and pinned her down.
Seeing the tall man suddenly leaning on her, Xia Ningxi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she stammered, "W-what are you doing?"
"What do you want to do?" the man asked back.
He roughly squeezed Xia Ningxi's hand, his deep eyes filled with inquiry.
Xia Ningxi's ears burned, and she stammered, "Your heart rate is a bit irregular, I want to take a look at it."
"Just looking?" Huo Nanxiao narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Xia Ningxi said, "Then what else do you want?"
The man lowered his eyes, his dark eyes unfathomable, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.
Xia Ningxi felt a little uneasy as Huo Nanxiao stared at her intently. She was nervous and didn't know what to say. She just wanted to escape this awkward situation as soon as possible.
She struggled, trying to break free from Huo Nanxiao's control, but the next second, a cold kiss landed on her lips.
