Chapter 921 So what if they get together?
His firm words made Xia Ningxi's heart skip a beat. She hurriedly looked away, not daring to meet Huo Nanxiao's gaze.
She vaguely sensed something different about Huo Nanxiao, but she didn't press him for details.
However, it's a good thing that Huo Nanxiao didn't get involved.
She said, "Xia Wanwan was upset today, you should go and take care of her."
"With Xia Wenhe watching over things, nothing will happen." Huo Nanxiao's attitude was somewhat indifferent.
Xia Ningxi shook her head: "Not necessarily."
Huo Nanxiao said, "Xia Wenhe is able to have a place in the capital city entirely because of Wanwan. He would never let anything happen to Wanwan."
Even if the sky were to fall, as long as Xia Wanwan is still Huo Nanxiao's wife, Xia Wenhe will spare no effort to take care of her. This is the confidence Huo Nanxiao gives her.
And that is exactly the case.
In this car accident, Xia Wenhe originally wanted Xia Wanwan to take full responsibility, but after realizing that the Ling family was not easy to fool, he did not hesitate to push Zhou Fenglin out.
Zhou Fenglin realized he might go to jail, so he bought a plane ticket overnight to escape Lingcheng. He was stopped by someone on the way and was beaten up.
The key point is that she didn't know who did it. Someone put a sack over her head, followed by a brutal beating. She screamed in pain as she was beaten.
In the end, they only let her go when they got tired of beating her. Zhou Fenglin was not one to suffer a loss, so she immediately called the police, and ended up being arrested herself.
Xia Ningxi, who was watching TV, was very surprised when she received a text message from Li Yancheng. The person in the photo had been beaten black and blue, with bloodstains on his face, and was basically unrecognizable.
But Xia Ningxi recognized her.
She picked up her phone, avoided Huo Nanxiao's questioning gaze, and went outside to dial Li Yancheng's number.
"She's in your hands?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Li Yancheng: "How is it? Are you satisfied?"
"What are you doing?" Xia Ningxi frowned.
Li Yancheng: "She absconded with the money. If I hadn't discovered it quickly, she would have already fled abroad."
Xia Ningxi asked, "Is the person still alive?"
"I know my limits; I spared his life," Li Yancheng replied with a smile.
Xia Ningxi sighed helplessly: "You have no grudge against her, why are you messing with her?"
"She hurt you first, so I'm just standing up for you, is that not allowed?" Li Yancheng questioned.
Xia Ningxi: "Of course not. If you hit her and then send me a message, people who don't know the situation will think that I asked you to do it."
"It has nothing to do with you. I did all of this myself, it has nothing to do with you." Li Yancheng said indifferently.
Xia Ningxi: "Don't get involved in this. It has nothing to do with you anyway, so don't get yourself into trouble."
"Are you worried about me?" Li Yancheng was pleasantly surprised.
Xia Ningxi: "Concern for you my foot."
She quickly hung up the phone, not wanting to argue with Li Yancheng any further.
She turned back to the villa and realized that Huo Nanxiao had been staring at her the whole time.
She wondered if Huo Nanxiao had heard their conversation earlier.
Forget it, whatever, let him hear it if he wants.
Xia Ningxi hid her phone and said to Huo Nanxiao, "Thank you for preparing dinner for me. It's getting late, so I won't keep you any longer."
Huo Nanxiao's gaze fell on Xia Ningxi's hands hidden behind her back, and he chuckled: "What's the matter that makes you so secretive?"
"It's just a phone call, what's the problem?" Xia Ningxi blinked her big eyes.
Huo Nanxiao: "Li Yancheng's phone call?"
"Yes." She did not deny it.
Huo Nanxiao scoffed, "He certainly knows how to fawn over people."
Xia Ningxi ignored Huo Nanxiao's sarcastic remarks and said in an unusually cold tone, "You should leave."
"I'll stay the night," Huo Nanxiao said firmly.
Xia Ningxi: "If you have nowhere to go, I can let you have this place. Anyway, I've been resting for too long lately, so staying in the lab for one night isn't out of the question."
She met Huo Nanxiao's dark eyes, and his attitude of turning her away was very clear.
But he didn't react at all.
Xia Ningxi snorted coldly and turned to leave.
She packed her things, put them in her handbag, picked up her phone, and walked out the door.
Huo Nanxiao grasped her wrist: "You really don't want to see me?"
"Is that even a question? I'm practically a celebrity now, and as for you, the richest man in the capital, I don't need to tell you how famous you are."
We both have our own families; it's not appropriate for us to get together, and it wouldn't look good if word got out.
Xia Ningxi smiled politely at Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao gripped her wrist tighter and tighter: "What if I insist on getting involved with you?"
"Heh." Xia Ningxi was amused and poked his chest with her cool fingers, saying each word clearly, "We've been married for so many years. If we really had feelings for each other, we wouldn't have ended up getting a divorce. Why pretend to care about me?"
Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes, his deep gaze fixed on her beautiful face. He saw her dissatisfaction and indifference, as well as the mockery and disdain in her eyes.
An unnamed rage burned within him, igniting all the pent-up resentment that Huo Nanxiao had been holding in for some time.
He somewhat out of control pulled Xia Ningxi into his arms, kissed her lips, and fiercely invaded her body amidst her fierce resistance, taking away all the oxygen from her mouth.
A passionate kiss, lingering and unforgettable.
Xia Ningxi tried to struggle, but Huo Nanxiao already knew every part of her body like the back of his hand and easily grabbed her hands, making her unable to move.
"Are you crazy?" she said angrily.
Huo Nanxiao's cold fingers brushed across her swollen, red lips, his eyes filled with possessiveness.
The atmosphere was so ambiguous that it was hard to breathe. Xia Ningxi's heart was almost out of control, beating faster and faster. She could even clearly hear Huo Nanxiao's heavy breathing.
Feeling his body heat up even more than before, Xia Ningxi's ears turned bright red. She hurriedly backed away, saying in a choked voice, "I, I have something to do!"
Huo Nanxiao put an arm around her waist and snatched her phone. He glanced at the still-flashing screen and saw that Li Yancheng was sending her a message, asking her to meet him.
He snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "What could be going on so late? Are you in such a hurry to go out and see him?"
"So what if it is?" Xia Ningxi just wanted to escape Huo Nanxiao's clutches as soon as possible, so she could only use Li Yancheng as a shield. Who knew that Huo Nanxiao would throw her phone away without any mercy!
Xia Ningxi was dumbfounded, her eyes wide open.
Huo Nanxiao scoffed coldly, pinching her cheek: "As long as I'm alive, you can forget about being with anyone. As for what you just said... who says a married man can't be with you?"
His eyes were burning with desire. In an instant, he turned off the lights in the villa, plunging the bright surroundings into darkness. A domineering kiss swept over him, while outside the window, the lights flickered, only a few faint specks of light filtering in.
In the darkness, Huo Nanxiao resembled a ferocious beast, his eyes filled with greed. His actions grew increasingly bold, even reaching inside her clothes...
