Chapter 1022 Go keep your mistress company.
Not long after Xia Ningxi left, she received a call from Huo Nanxiao, who asked her to meet him at a restaurant. Huo Nanxiao had made a lunch reservation in advance.
"I'll come find you in a bit," Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi: "Thank you, I will take the child there. As for you, you don't need to come along. There is a cafeteria in the hospital, you can make do with what you have there."
"Wait for me to come over." Huo Nanxiao hung up the phone, not wanting to hear another word.
He arranged for a caregiver to look after Xia Wanwan, and then planned to leave first.
Xia Wanwan immediately grabbed his hand: "Where are you going?"
"You should rest well. I'll come see you again when I have time." Huo Nanxiao's voice was cold.
Xia Wanwan held onto him tightly, refusing to let go: "When are you free?"
Huo Nanxiao frowned, displeased. "I can't protect you forever. There are professional caregivers here and bodyguards outside. You can have the bodyguards keep anyone you don't want to see out of the door. Just focus on recovering during this time. We'll talk about everything after you've fully recovered."
"So... you're not planning to come see me again, right?" Xia Wanwan's voice trembled uncontrollably.
Huo Nanxiao said expressionlessly, "You're an adult now, and you should be responsible for everything you do. What happened the night you had the accident? You don't want to say, and I don't want to press you further, but all of this is the result of your own choices, so you have to bear the consequences yourself."
"Are you blaming me?" Xia Wanwan understood Huo Nanxiao's unspoken meaning. Her eyes turned red, and she trembled with sadness.
Huo Nanxiao said, "This is your own choice."
"You... you already guessed it, right?" Xia Wanwan asked softly.
Huo Nanxiao, however, didn't care at all. He seemed completely unconcerned about Xia Wanwan's life or death.
This attitude was enough to tell Xia Wanwan everything. Her voice trembled as she replied, "My family is very opposed to our divorce. My father and Luo Luo both have a lot of opinions about me. The entire Xia family relies on your resources to operate. They... are furious."
"Even now, you still want to make excuses for them?" Huo Nanxiao questioned unhappily.
Xia Wanwan lowered her head, her eyes misting over: "My accident is indeed related to Luo Luo, but Luo Luo is pregnant now, and I can't possibly send her in. I'm sorry."
"Whatever makes you happy." Huo Nanxiao didn't want to meddle any more.
He glanced at the time; it was already late. Not wanting to linger, he gave a few instructions to the caregiver and left the ward.
He drove to the restaurant, but Xia Ningxi and the child were nowhere to be seen. He called to inquire and learned that Xia Ningxi had already taken the child back to the Huo family.
Huo Xiuyuan was also at home, discussing company matters with several group shareholders. He also called Huo Jinchuan to his study. Huo Nanxiao did not plan to call Huo Nanxiao when he returned.
Qu Huilan felt somewhat uneasy about this matter, and she asked Huo Nanxiao, "Do you know that Huo Jinchuan is in your father's study?"
"I know," Huo Nanxiao replied calmly.
Qu Huilan said, "Because you've made a mess of the Huo family, your father is planning to hand over all of the Huo family's projects for the next quarter to Huo Jinchuan. It's one thing if you do it once or twice, but if you keep angering your father, the Huo family will have to be handed over to someone else."
"Mother, don't worry, I have enough money to support you in your old age and take care of you when you die." Huo Nanxiao did not take Qu Huilan's worries to heart.
Qu Huilan's face turned green with anger: "Is that what I meant? I was reminding you that when it's time to cut ties, you should cut them off cleanly. Now that Xia Wanwan has woken up, the Xia family's affairs should be handled entirely by Xia Wenhe. You don't need to get involved. It has nothing to do with us."
"I know," Huo Nanxiao replied, already aware of the situation.
Qu Huilan: "Since you know everything, why do you still bother with Xia Wanwan? Aren't they troublesome enough already?"
“Wanwan just woke up. If I don’t go see her, Xia Wenhe will definitely not take her seriously. I wronged her back then, and I hope she can live a good life.” Huo Nanxiao’s tone was solemn.
Qu Huilan sighed helplessly: "I know you can't let go of her, but so many years have passed. If you can't let go of Wanwan, how can you let go of Ningxi and the child? You know that she has suffered a lot because of you, so you shouldn't have any relationship with Xia Wanwan anymore. What you're doing is like stabbing Ningxi in the heart."
Huo Nanxiao remained silent.
Qu Huilan: "You'd better watch yourself."
“I know,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Qu Huilan: "Ning Xi is in her office, and the child is playing in the playground in the backyard. Why don't you go and spend some time with the child? Don't disturb Ning Xi's work unless she dislikes you more."
"Okay," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Qu Huilan said no more and turned to leave.
The maid watched this scene and muttered, "Young Master Huo's status is getting lower and lower. Before, the old lady would still pay more attention to him, but now, even the old lady doesn't care about Young Master Huo anymore."
Maid 2: "How can that be the same? Young Master Huo is out having affairs and neglecting his family. He even got someone like Xia Luoluo pregnant. The master hates the Xia sisters the most, but Young Master Huo just happens to have his eye on these two troublemakers. The old lady must be heartbroken."
Maid 3: "I heard that the master has hired famous teachers from abroad to be the young masters and Miss Chu Chu's first teachers. They are being groomed as heirs. When the children grow up, everything in the Huo family will be handed over to them. We must serve the young mistress well!"
Maid 4: "That's right, Young Master Huo's moods are nothing, the most important thing is that the young mistress is happy."
A group of people strongly agreed with this view and went all out to please Xia Ningxi. As for Huo Nanxiao, let whoever wants to talk to him talk to him.
Since Huo Yuan and the others knew that Huo Nanxiao had spent the day with Xia Wanwan, they pretended not to see him when they saw him, treating him like air and going about their own business.
Huo Nanxiao took the initiative to greet them, but the three little ones pretended not to hear him and were having a great time playing with the ball in their hands.
"Can't you hear me?" Huo Nanxiao asked coldly.
Upon hearing this, the three little ones lazily glanced at Huo Nanxiao.
Xingxing said sarcastically, "I thought it was someone else coming back, but it turned out to be Daddy. Why do you have time to come home today? Xia Wanwan is willing to let Daddy leave?"
Chu Chu: "He must have had enough fun before he came back, otherwise why would he be willing to go home? This isn't his home. Home is where Xia Wanwan is."
Huo Yuan: "Daddy, you should leave. None of us want to see you."
Huo Nanxiao asked, "What have I done to offend you?"
"Daddy is great in every way, except that he smells too strongly of disinfectant. We don't want to smell it," Huo Yuan said, offering a lame excuse.
Huo Nanxiao's face turned cold, and he said very seriously, "Xia Wanwan is in poor health and has just woken up. She has been given a second chance at life. I'm just going to see her, I have no other intentions."
"So you had other ideas?" Xingxing grasped the key point.
