Chapter 230 You told him this secret
Huo Yuan's words struck a chord with Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao didn't want anyone to know that Huo Yuan wasn't Xia Wanwan's son, but judging from Huo Yuan's expression, it seemed that he already knew about it.
The man's aura changed completely; his gaze sharpened like a blade as he questioned Huo Yuan, "What did Xia Ningxi tell you?"
These words ignited Huo Yuan's inner fire. He sat up abruptly in bed, looked up, and questioned Huo Nanxiao: "Why is Daddy targeting Dr. Xia like this?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "Did she say something to you, like you're not Xia Wanwan's child?"
Huo Yuan said, "Dr. Xia never said anything like that. What is Daddy afraid of? Don't you know very well whether I am Wanwan's mother's child or not? Or is it that I am not Wanwan's mother's child in the first place, which is why Daddy is so guilty?"
Huo Nanxiao sternly rebuked, "You are Xia Wanwan's child, don't think such nonsense."
Huo Yuan's resentment towards Huo Nanxiao intensified.
In truth, Huo Yuan knew everything.
He knew even better that Huo Nanxiao didn't want him to know that Xia Ningxi was his mother.
In the past, Huo Yuan knew nothing, and if Huo Nanxiao said such things, Huo Yuan would definitely believe everything, would not doubt Huo Nanxiao, and would not have any objections to Huo Nanxiao. But now it's different.
Hearing Huo Nanxiao's affirmative words, Huo Yuan felt a surge of anger.
"Since Daddy keeps saying that I am Xia Wanwan's child, then why isn't Xia Wanwan Daddy's wife in name? You two haven't even gotten a marriage certificate. Am I just an illegitimate child of the Huo family?" Huo Yuan angrily questioned.
Huo Nanxiao said, "You are not an illegitimate child; you are the only young master of the Huo family."
"Then tell me, Daddy, why didn't Mommy Wanwan get a marriage certificate with you? Is it because Daddy doesn't like Mommy Wanwan and doesn't want to get a marriage certificate with her, or is there another reason why Daddy can't get a marriage certificate with Mommy Wanwan?" Huo Yuan questioned.
He may be young, but that doesn’t mean he’s stupid.
He only has one dad!
He thought his father was the person who loved him the most in the world, but now, Huo Nanxiao is full of lies. Which of his words is true?
Huo Yuan had no idea how many more lies Huo Nanxiao had in store for him.
Huo Yuan was furious. Thinking about what Huo Nanxiao had done to Xia Ningxi, Huo Yuan gritted his teeth in anger and refused to speak to Huo Nanxiao anymore. He muttered and said, "Daddy, get out. I don't want to talk to you. I want to sleep by myself tonight."
The little guy didn't even look at Huo Nanxiao, but anyone could tell from his expression that he was angry.
Huo Nanxiao had never seen Huo Yuan so angry before, but he didn't understand why Huo Yuan was so furious.
Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice, "Are you unhappy with me because of the recent news circulating outside?"
"It's good that Daddy knows." Huo Yuan snorted coldly.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Daddy will handle this matter."
Huo Yuan asked, "Will Daddy deal with the reporters who are trying to find out about this, or will he deal with Dr. Xia?"
"What do you mean by that?" A flash of anger crossed Huo Nanxiao's dark eyes.
Huo Yuan said, "Hasn't Daddy hurt Dr. Xia enough?"
One sentence from Huo Nanxiao left him speechless.
His frozen heart cracked inch by inch, and deep within his eyes, the cold light was filled with complex emotions.
He didn't answer Huo Yuan's question, but pulled the blanket over Huo Yuan and said softly, "I'll sleep on the sofa outside. If you're scared at night, I'll come and keep you company right away."
Huo Nanxiao turned off the lights, but he didn't close the door, leaving the bright light from the living room to shine into the room, so that the bedroom wouldn't be too dark even with the lights off, but it wouldn't be too glaring either.
With a sliver of light around him, Huo Yuan wasn't so afraid.
Huo Nanxiao didn't sleep. He turned on his computer to prepare for work, but Huo Yuan's words kept replaying in his mind. He looked at the computer, and for some reason, even though it was full of dense emails, all that appeared in Huo Nanxiao's mind was Xia Ningxi's face.
Huo Nanxiao was extremely annoyed and closed the computer.
He walked to the balcony and lit a cigarette, but before long, Huo Yuan's coughing could be heard from inside the dormitory.
Huo Nanxiao quickly stubbed out his cigarette and threw it into the trash can with some annoyance.
He quickly returned to his dormitory and saw Huo Yuan curled up on the bed, looking very pitiful. Huo Nanxiao felt a pang of sadness.
He walked to Huo Yuan's side, gently pulled the little guy into his arms, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you used to be able to sleep alone? Are you scared again?"
Huo Yuan bit his lip. He knew that the one who dared to sleep alone was Xia Xingxing, not himself, but Huo Yuan didn't know how to answer.
He nestled in Huo Nanxiao's arms, thought for a long time, and finally couldn't hold back any longer. He raised his head and asked very seriously, "Daddy, would you lie to me?"
Huo Nanxiao was stumped by this question, and a complex expression flashed across his handsome face.
Huo Yuan asked again, "Daddy, tell me, are you lying to me?"
“Silly child, why would Daddy lie to you? Daddy wouldn’t lie to you,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Huo Yuan slowly released his grip on Huo Nanxiao's clothes, his eyes filled with disappointment.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Nanxiao noticed the change in his emotions and immediately asked him what was wrong.
Huo Yuan said, "I don't trust Daddy anymore. You can leave. I'll sleep alone tonight."
“A-Yuan—”
Huo Yuan: "Daddy, get out." (cascoo)
Huo Nanxiao frowned.
Huo Yuan hugged his pillow, got out of bed, and went to sleep in the guest room next door without saying a word.
Huo Nanxiao was quite surprised by this action. He wanted to ask something, but Huo Yuan ignored him and slammed the door shut.
Huo Nanxiao was locked out. Looking at the bright lights inside, he knew that his precious son was afraid to sleep with the lights on. He wanted to go in and keep Huo Yuan company, but he knew very well that Huo Yuan was angry and didn't want to pay any attention to him.
But why would Huo Yuan, who seemed perfectly fine, have such strong emotions?
Huo Nanxiao was puzzled. He dialed Xia Ningxi's number and asked her, "Did you tell Huo Yuan that you are his biological mother?"
"No."
Xia Ningxi denied it.
Huo Nanxiao said, "After Huo Yuan came back today, he kept asking if Xia Wanwan was his biological mother, and he mentioned you more than once."
"And then what? You suspect that I said something I shouldn't have to Huo Yuan, and now you're here to confront me?" Xia Ningxi also lost her temper.
Huo Yuan's suspicion of Huo Nanxiao is his business, but why is he looking for her so fiercely?
Huo Nanxiao dared to do such a thing, so why would he be afraid of being found out?
