Chapter 1119 (End)
The gift was very light, and it seemed to contain books or documents.
Xia Ningxi opened the gift box with a puzzled look and found a photo and a gift agreement inside.
Xia Ningxi is one of the people in the photo.
In a daze, she remembered that she had unintentionally saved an old man, and that old man was also in the photo.
"The gift agreement... Do you know the head of the Han family?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "I don't know him, but I accidentally saved the person in the photo once before."
The document contained a share transfer agreement, in which the head of the Han family transferred 10% of his shares to Xia Ningxi as compensation.
At the very bottom is an apology letter.
The apology letter was addressed to Xia Ningxi.
#I'm sorry, I know everything Han Musen did. I've sent him abroad for confinement. Thank you, Dr. Xia, for saving my life. This gift is entirely voluntary; please accept it, Dr. Xia.#
The apology letter was very simple.
The font is neat and beautiful.
Huo Xiuyuan knew Han Musen's grandfather, so he naturally recognized his notes.
Huo Xiuyuan was surprised: "It's really strange that this old man would take the initiative to apologize to you."
Xia Ningxi was both amused and exasperated: "I have absolutely no recollection of it."
Huo Xiuyuan said, "Since he took action, you can rest assured from now on. Although that old man didn't raise his son and grandson well, he is a very good person."
"What should we do with this gift?" Xia Ningxi frowned.
Huo Xiuyuan said, "Let Nan Xiao manage it. With these shares, he can check and balance the Han family, which is a guarantee for everyone."
Xia Ningxi understood.
She just wanted to live her own peaceful life and didn't want to live in a world of deceit and intrigue.
On New Year's Eve, Huo Nanxiao bought a lot of fireworks and accompanied Xia Ningxi and the children to set them off in the garden.
During her years abroad, Xia Ningxi rarely set off fireworks because they don't celebrate the Spring Festival there.
It was the first time Xingxing and Chuchu had spent Chinese New Year at home, and they were especially happy. Chuchu, in particular, was dressed in bright red, looking like a little red lucky doll.
The star was also wearing a bright red dress, and she looked especially cute.
However, Huo Yuan was unusually quiet today.
Xia Ningxi noticed that Huo Yuan seemed preoccupied, so she went over, picked him up, and asked, "What are you thinking about, Yuan?"
Huo Yuan asked, "Mommy, can we live together and set off fireworks forever?"
“Of course you can.” Xia Ningxi replied without hesitation.
Huo Yuan asked, "Will Mommy leave me?"
"Silly child, what are you thinking? I will definitely stay with you for the rest of my life, accompany you as you grow up, and even when you are old, Mommy will accompany you to set off fireworks, okay?" Xia Ningxi gently hugged Huo Yuan's rosy little face.
Huo Yuan was very happy. He hugged and kissed Xia Ningxi, then broke free from her embrace and ran to play with his younger siblings.
The three little ones were dressed in festive attire, looking like little mythical beasts, and they were especially happy.
In the past, the Huo family's New Year celebrations were always quiet and uneventful, as no one liked crowds. But this time, with three more children, the whole family atmosphere was much more lively.
The Huo family elders, who usually go to bed early and get up early, chased after the children to play in the garden. They even made lanterns with the children using pomelo peels, which shocked the three children, who kept exclaiming in surprise.
Huo Nanxiao felt a warmth in his heart seeing their excited expressions.
This is the first time in so many years that he has spent the Lunar New Year with his three children.
Huo Nanxiao had never thought that the New Year was anything special before, but at this moment, he felt it very clearly.
He handed Xia Ningxi a sparkler and said, "It's panda-shaped, very pretty, want to play with it?"
Xia Ningxi took it and lit the sparkler with a lighter.
Fireworks illuminated the night sky, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
Xia Ningxi also forgot how long it had been since she had properly spent time with her child setting off fireworks, and she was momentarily lost in thought.
"What are you thinking about?" Huo Nanxiao asked her.
Xia Ningxi said, "I just suddenly remembered that it's been a long time since we set off fireworks. The last time was at the Xia family home. We weren't married yet. During the Spring Festival, a lot of people gathered outside my house to set off fireworks. It was very lively."
"So, you regret marrying me, right?" Huo Nanxiao asked her.
Xia Ningxi said calmly, "I do regret it, but I'm very fortunate to have Ayuan, Xingxing, and Chuchu."
"I'm sorry, I'm the one who wronged you." Huo Nanxiao apologized sincerely.
Xia Ningxi smiled, lit another sparkler, and looked at the dazzling fireworks calmly: "The past is the past, it's not important to talk about it now."
"Why did you save me back then?" Huo Nanxiao asked her.
Xia Ningxi retorted, "Do you expect me to watch you die?"
She knew how crazy she had been about loving Huo Nanxiao back then, and she simply couldn't accept Huo Nanxiao's death, which is why she risked her life to save him, right?
Even now, Xia Ningxi can't remember what happened back then.
But she didn't care anymore. The past was the past, and she didn't want to dwell on it anymore; it was pointless.
Watching the children run far away and disappear in no time, Xia Ningxi turned and left after setting off the fireworks in her hand.
Huo Nanxiao suddenly hugged her from behind.
"What are you doing?" Xia Ningxi looked down at the hand on her waist, her feelings a jumble of emotions.
Huo Nanxiao asked in a low voice, "Next time, can we celebrate the New Year together again?"
"We'll see when the time comes," Xia Ningxi said, not immediately agreeing.
Huo Nanxiao's voice was hoarse: "Promise me."
Xia Ningxi said impatiently, "Stop messing around."
Huo Nanxiao: "Then, I'll go first. We'll celebrate the New Year together next time."
Xia Ningxi tried to pry Huo Nanxiao's hand off but couldn't, so she reluctantly agreed, "Okay, I promise you, can you let go now?"
"Let's sleep together tonight," Huo Nanxiao continued, making his request.
Xia Ningxi said disapprovingly, "You should know when to stop."
Huo Nanxiao wouldn't listen: "Then I'll sleep with you."
Xia Ningxi stomped on his shoe: "I'll sleep with the child!"
Huo Nanxiao wasn't angry: "Then let's sleep together and watch the stars at night."
Xia Ningxi agreed.
On New Year's Eve, everyone stayed up late to welcome the new year, and no one could sleep.
Just after midnight, Xia Ningxi received many congratulatory text messages, and her phone kept ringing.
Huo Nanxiao had put his phone on silent mode early on, and only turned it on half an hour later, only to find more than a dozen missed calls.
Xia Ningxi saw it too and said, "Xia Wanwan is looking for you."
"It's over between us." In front of Xia Ningxi, Huo Nanxiao blacklisted Xia Wanwan's phone number.
Xia Ningxi was surprised: "Perhaps, she still can't let you go."
“It has nothing to do with me anymore.” Huo Nanxiao looked earnestly into Xia Ningxi’s eyes and said, word by word, “I have never loved Xia Wanwan. I only feel indebted to her.”
"But now I have nothing to do with Xia Wanwan. The only thing I owe is you... Xia Ningxi, I truly loved you, and I hope to spend my whole life with you."
All that has happened in the past is gone.
Huo Nanxiao knew he couldn't change the past, so let him spend the rest of his life making amends.
