Chapter 744 I Can't Give You Anything But Marriage
Given what happened before, the three little ones no longer respected Huo Nanxiao as before. They ate and drank his food and drinks, and even gave him attitude.
Ye Su bought a lot of delicious food, all paid for by Huo Nanxiao, but they only thanked Ye Su and ignored Huo Nanxiao. They only let others hug them and wouldn't let Huo Nanxiao touch them.
Huo Nanxiao felt frustrated, knowing why the children didn't like him, but he couldn't say anything.
"President, there are guests downstairs." There was a sudden knock on the door, and Ye Su's expression was very conflicted.
Huo Nanxiao sensed something was amiss and asked, "Who?"
Ye Su glanced at the children and opened her mouth.
Huo Nanxiao understood and sighed, "It's Xia Wanwan, right? All three children are here. Tell her to come up."
Huo Yuan was flustered: "Is that Aunt Wanwan? Is she looking for Daddy? Can we go back first?"
Xingxing asked in confusion, "Brother, are you afraid of her?"
Huo Yuan gestured with his lips, not daring to answer.
Xingxing realized that Huo Yuan wasn't afraid of Xia Wanwan at all; he was afraid of everyone in the Xia family.
“Brother, don’t be afraid. Your sister and I will protect you. She’s here, so what? It’s no big deal. She can’t take us home, and she can’t take us away from Mommy. Grandpa won’t allow her to do that. Don’t be afraid.” Xingxing had already taken Huo Yuan’s hand.
Huo Yuan remained silent for a long time, perhaps pondering whether Xingxing's words were credible.
While he was thinking, Xia Wanwan was pushed into the president's office by Ye Su.
It was probably Ye Su who told her that all three children were there. When Xia Wanwan came in, she was holding three lollipops and greeted the children with a smile.
"A-Yuan, Xingxing, Chuchu, it's been a long time."
"These are lollipops I bought for you, they're a gift."
Xia Wanwan enthusiastically handed over the candy.
Huo Yuan didn't reach out: "Thank you, but I don't like sweets."
Xingxing accepted them all: "Thank you, Aunt Wanwan. Your family went bankrupt, yet you still have money to buy candy. Did Daddy give you this money?"
Chu Chu: "It must have been given by Daddy, they don't have any money."
Xia Wanwan smiled wryly. She didn't want to argue with the children, so she didn't say anything, but instead turned her gaze to Huo Nanxiao: "When did you bring the children over?"
"You've been here for a long time. What do you need me for?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Wanwan said, "I just went to the hospital and saw Ning Xi."
"What do you want with her?" Huo Nanxiao was clearly displeased.
Xia Wanwan: "I don't know if she knows about our wedding. I personally delivered the invitations in the past. I didn't want to cause her any trouble. I hope she can come to the wedding."
Huo Nanxiao's temples throbbed.
Ye Su, standing to the side, didn't dare to say anything, feeling utterly speechless.
Xia Wanwan is really shameless. She stole the young mistress's husband and even sent him an invitation. Isn't she deliberately trying to cause trouble?
How could she pretend to be so innocent?
What a beautiful white lotus flower!
It seems the children have a keen eye. At first, Ye Su had a good attitude towards Xia Wanwan, but as things progressed, Ye Su began to look down on Xia Wanwan.
Ye Su was just an outsider and didn't dare to say anything, but the three children wouldn't indulge her.
Xingxing said sourly, "Oh my, you even personally delivered the invitation to my mommy, what a big face you have! Who do you think you are to give my mommy an invitation? Have you forgotten your own background?"
Xia Wanwan's face stiffened.
Chu Chu chimed in, "Brother, you must have forgotten to send Mommy an invitation. She thinks she can take over after Mommy and Daddy divorced. Grandpa doesn't even look down on her."
Xingxing: "Then she can marry outside and it doesn't matter if she can't be seen by others. Anyway, Daddy will protect her for life. She just needs to behave herself and be that shady third party. There are so many rich and powerful people in the capital, and there are plenty of people who look down on her. She will be subjected to a lot of contempt in the future."
Chu Chu said, "It's okay, she can handle it anyway. Isn't marrying Daddy just about being looked down upon? Everything in the Huo family will be ours in the future, she won't get anything, she'll just get to be cursed for decades."
Huo Yuan smiled to himself, but didn't say anything.
Xia Wanwan was utterly embarrassed. She didn't know what to say, but it seemed that whatever she said was wrong in front of these children.
Ultimately, Xia Wanwan is a third party in a relationship, so it's normal that the children don't like her.
“Nan Xiao, the children don’t really like me. Why don’t we talk outside?” Xia Wanwan suggested.
Xingxing laughed and said, "Why go outside? Don't you like my daddy very much? If you're going to marry him, you have to get used to our presence. You can't even stand being criticized a couple of times. What will you do when a bunch of people are gossiping about you later?"
Xia Wanwan bit her lip and remained silent, looking at Huo Nanxiao with a complicated expression. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.
Huo Nanxiao: "There's no need to avoid them; they'll find out sooner or later."
Xia Wanwan lowered her head: "Okay. I've already informed the others about the wedding. Time is tight. Do you have any plans for the wedding day?"
Huo Nanxiao: "Keep it simple."
Xia Wanwan lowered her head: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say. But my family will be there too. I know you don't like them, but after all, we're family. On such an important day as my wedding, I'll feel really bad if they're not there."
Huo Nanxiao: "Do whatever you want, handle it however you like."
"Nan Xiao, I feel that you are very cold towards me. Do you not want to marry me? You don't seem to care about this at all." Xia Wanwan asked the question that had been bothering her.
Huo Nanxiao remained remarkably calm: "My marriage to you is simply to fulfill a promise, to give you a prestigious status so that your life in the capital will be easier. There's nothing else I can offer you. The company has many things to attend to. If you have nothing else to do, you may leave."
His attitude was more than just indifference.
He never even glanced at Xia Wanwan. Apart from taking care of the children, the only thing that could get Huo Nanxiao's attention was his work.
Xia Wanwan became superfluous.
She stood frozen in place, unsure of what to say. Staying there any longer wasn't appropriate either, as the three children were staring at her menacingly, as if they wanted to devour her whole.
Xia Wanwan had no choice but to leave.
She had barely stepped out of the CEO's office when Xingxing threw the lollipop Xia Wanwan had given them into the trash can.
Huo Nanxiao glanced at it but didn't say anything, nor did he intend to reprimand him.
This scene, witnessed by Xia Wanwan, made her extremely distressed.
