Chapter 852 I Can Eat You
Huo Nanxiao immediately started acting like a rogue, ignoring everything Xia Ningxi said.
Xia Ningxi was exasperated and couldn't do anything about Huo Nanxiao, so she simply got up and went to sleep in the guest room. However, Huo Nanxiao's hand remained around her waist, and she couldn't move at all.
She tried several times to pry Huo Nanxiao's hands off, but couldn't. Her pretty face turned cold.
"Let go, I don't want to sleep in the same bed with you, let go." Xia Ningxi's face clearly showed her displeasure.
Huo Nanxiao pretended not to see it and even turned off the night light in the room.
The room was now completely dark, so dark that Xia Ningxi couldn't see anything and couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
Huo Nanxiao was very strong. If she struggled, it would aggravate her wounds, causing her to break out in a cold sweat from the pain. In the end, she gritted her teeth and gave up, letting Huo Nanxiao stay on her bed.
Xia Ningxi didn't forget that the two of them were already divorced. The bed was very big, and she deliberately widened the distance between them, keeping a very, very far distance from Huo Nanxiao. There was enough space between them for three children to sleep.
"Do you think I can eat you?" Huo Nanxiao suddenly spoke from the darkness.
Xia Ningxi snorted coldly: "You do have the self-awareness to know that much."
"Come up and lie down," Huo Nanxiao commanded.
Xia Ningxi thought he was crazy and had no intention of paying him any attention.
Huo Nanxiao simply yanked the blanket hard, and Xia Ningxi rolled into his bed along with the blanket. When the wounds on her body hit Huo Nanxiao, she groaned in pain.
“If you had listened to me earlier, things wouldn’t have come to this,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi: "You're staying in my room late at night just to get revenge on me? I didn't do anything to you, did I? On the contrary, it was your Xia Wanwan who ruined me like this, and you not only don't apologize, but you also bully me with them. Huo Nanxiao, do you have any conscience?"
She was very angry and immediately started cursing.
Huo Nanxiao listened quietly to Xia Ningxi's cursing, and after a long while, he slowly asked, "Have you cursed enough?"
"No," Xia Ningxi replied irritably.
Huo Nanxiao said, "The children are all asleep. If you keep scolding them, all three of them will wake up, and I don't have the energy to coax them back to sleep."
“They can sleep on their own. Even if you’re not there, they don’t need me to worry about them.” Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at Huo Nanxiao, annoyed.
She knew her children's situation well. Xingxing and Chuchu were both well-behaved and obedient. As long as Xia Ningxi was busy, they could sleep peacefully on their own.
Huo Yuan used to need someone to accompany him, but when he was with his younger siblings, he was no different from a normal child. As long as he could sleep with his younger siblings, he would not cry or make a fuss.
On the contrary, Huo Nanxiao's appearance made the little ones in the family uneasy. Huo Yuan probably didn't sleep well all night, and he was probably even afraid in his dreams that Huo Nanxiao would secretly take him away.
For Xia Ningxi, it would be better if Huo Nanxiao didn't live in this family.
Huo Nanxiao, however, lacked self-awareness and insisted on disturbing their family of four.
Xia Ningxi grew angrier the more she thought about it, and naturally she wouldn't give Huo Nanxiao a pleasant look. She shifted her body, widening the distance between them.
Huo Nanxiao simply gave most of the blanket to Xia Ningxi, and covered himself with only a small piece.
He was probably tired, because he fell asleep shortly after lying down next to Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi, however, hadn't slept well all night and tossed and turned in bed for a while. She couldn't help but steal a glance at Huo Nanxiao, only to find that he was sleeping more soundly than anyone else.
"You're sleeping soundly, aren't you? You're married now and you still have the nerve to sleep in your ex-wife's bed!" Xia Ningxi gritted her teeth.
She planned to sleep in the guest room, so she sneaked out of bed, intending to leave quietly while Huo Nanxiao was asleep. But that bastard Huo Nanxiao was still holding onto her clothes even while he was asleep, so she couldn't leave.
In the end, she could only suppress her anger and reluctantly lie down next to Huo Nanxiao.
She tossed and turned until late at night, and she had no recollection of how she finally fell asleep.
When Xia Ningxi woke up, it was almost noon. The house was quiet. Puzzled, Xia Ningxi put on her coat and went outside. Chu Chu and Xing Xing were sitting obediently next to Huo Nanxiao, playing with Lego. They were so engrossed in their play that they didn't notice Xia Ningxi's presence at all.
Huo Yuan sat in Huo Nanxiao's lap and asked him how to do the math problem.
Huo Nanxiao patiently taught her, his voice very low. The children probably knew that Xia Ningxi was sleeping, so they didn't make much noise to disturb her rest.
"Good morning," Xia Ningxi greeted him.
Huo Yuan turned around, his eyes filled with surprise and joy: "Mommy, you're finally awake."
"Have you all had breakfast?" Xia Ningxi asked with a smile.
Huo Yuan nodded: "I ate, I ate meat buns."
Chu Chu said, "I drank milk and eggs."
Xingxing: "There's also steak, greens, and noodles."
"That's good, have fun." Xia Ningxi patted each of the little ones' heads before going into the bathroom to wash up.
When they came out, Huo Nanxiao had already heated up the breakfast.
A steak, a fried egg, some vegetables, and milk.
"Did you make this?" Xia Ningxi asked curiously.
Huo Nanxiao said, "The nanny made it."
Xia Ningxi carefully forked a piece of steak: "It's all burnt. The nanny's cooking skills shouldn't be this bad."
"Daddy made it. Daddy got up early this morning to make breakfast for Mommy," Huo Yuan suddenly mentioned.
Huo Nanxiao said unhappily, "Shut up, stop talking nonsense."
"I'm not lying, it was Daddy who made breakfast." Huo Yuan didn't understand why Huo Nanxiao was angry. He blinked his pitiful big eyes, his face full of confusion and helplessness.
Huo Nanxiao did not explain, and continued to teach the child arithmetic.
Xia Ningxi watched his retreating figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
People like Huo Nanxiao never lift a finger; their daily needs are always taken care of, so there's no way he would ever cook for himself.
Xia Ningxi was truly shocked that he took the initiative to cook breakfast for the children this time, but then she thought, these little guys are all Huo Nanxiao's children, what's wrong with him making breakfast for his own children?
Xia Ningxi enjoyed a delicious breakfast, then changed into her work clothes after tidying everything up.
"Where to?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "Go to work."
“I’ve already asked for leave for you; you can rest at home this week,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi got angry: "Are you alright? Why do I need to take a day off when I'm perfectly fine? I haven't been to work for many days already."
Huo Nanxiao: "With Tang En watching over us, nothing will happen."
Xia Ningxi was speechless.
She knew that Tang En would be fine as long as he looked after Lin Jiangbei, but she was here to work, and she couldn't just skip work every few days. She wasn't here to be a pampered young mistress; she still had to do her work when it was time to work.
Unlike Huo Nanxiao, who has a vast fortune and can live off his wealth without ever running out of money, she is not like him.
Worried that the Ling family might have a problem with her, Xia Ningxi made a special phone call to Ling Shuang.
Ling Shuang smiled and said, "Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so stay home and rest for now. There's really nothing going on here in Jiangbei, so you don't need to worry."
"Alright." Xia Ningxi didn't insist any further.
She glanced at Huo Nanxiao sitting in the living room, walked over, and asked, "When are you leaving?"
"I'm off today," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Ningxi said, "So you're not planning to leave?"
"You can interpret it that way." Huo Nanxiao didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said.
Xia Ningxi said with displeasure, "Are you alright? This is my home!"
"I know," he said in his usual calm tone.
Xia Ningxi's cheek twitched.
As if she had seen through everything, Xingxing said sarcastically, "Daddy, it's no use you staying here. We won't pay any attention to you."
Huo Yuan: "You should leave. Mommy will be unhappy if you stay here."
Chu Chu: "You can keep the wallet, but you don't need to be here."
