Chapter 585 Which godfather isn't better than you?
In front of Xia Ningxi, Huo Nanxiao didn't know what he could say or what he could say. Thinking about it carefully, he knew that no matter what he said now, Xia Ningxi wouldn't listen carefully, and neither would the children.
Their attitude towards him was already very clear, and Huo Nanxiao would only be asking for trouble if he continued to approach them.
The dining table was large, and the three children were very young, so they couldn't reach many of the dishes. Huo Nanxiao served them food one by one.
"No need, I can manage on my own," Xingxing was the first to refuse.
Huo Nanxiao put food on Chu Chu's plate again, but Chu Chu simply took her own bowl away, not letting Huo Nanxiao touch it at all. Her bright, grape-like eyes blinked warily, and Huo Nanxiao's hand froze in mid-air. In the end, he could only turn his gaze to Huo Yuan.
Huo Yuan had already buried his face in the bowl and wasn't looking at Huo Nanxiao at all, so he couldn't receive any messages Huo Nanxiao sent him.
Huo Nanxiao felt a strange mix of emotions. He felt very frustrated during the meal, but the rest of the family seemed overjoyed.
Aunt Zhang, who had spent the most time with Huo Nanxiao, was so happy that her mouth stretched to her ears, and she whispered to the housekeeper from a distance.
"Young Master Huo deserves it, now he knows he was wrong, right? Why didn't he do this sooner?" Aunt Zhang sneered secretly.
The butler said, "You absolutely mustn't let Young Master Huo hear this, or he'll get really angry with you."
Aunt Zhang said, "Don't worry, even if he hears it, he won't have time to argue with me. You should see how the young masters and ladies treat him now. The three children are ignoring him. How could he have time to care about us?"
Butler: "Keep gloating. Actually, Young Master Huo isn't too happy either. It's because Xia Wanwan insisted on marrying him, and he owes Xia Wanwan a debt of gratitude, so he had no choice but to make a choice that would be unfair to the young mistress. It was a helpless move."
"What do you mean by 'helpless'? Stop using this kind of thing as an excuse. Just because he doesn't want to let Xia Wanwan down doesn't mean he can let down the young mistress. Who can justify that? There are so many ways to compensate Xia Wanwan, why did he have to choose the one with the highest cost? In my opinion, Young Master Huo must have the ability to refuse, but he didn't choose to do so."
Aunt Zhang didn't want to hear any more nonsense excuses. In her opinion, Huo Nanxiao was wrong, so he deserved his current predicament.
The rest of the family also felt that this was Huo Nanxiao's retribution.
Huo Nanxiao barely ate any breakfast; he had no appetite.
Xia Ningxi ate with great relish, taking bite after bite, ignoring the three children who were ostracizing him.
"Ahem." Huo Nanxiao coughed lightly twice.
After being rejected by the three children in turn, Huo Nanxiao changed tactics and started serving food to Xia Ningxi.
"I don't need it, I can manage on my own." Xia Ningxi refused without any politeness.
Huo Nanxiao said, "The children didn't have much of an appetite today, and they didn't eat the extra dishes I gave them."
These words were deliberately directed at Xia Ningxi, implying that she should take better care of the three children. Even if she didn't like him, she shouldn't have made it so obvious.
Xia Ningxi, on the other hand, quickly served several pieces of beef to the children in front of Huo Nanxiao. The three children eagerly took their bowls to receive the beef, their joy almost overflowing. This was completely opposite to their attitude towards Huo Nanxiao, forming two extremes.
This scene made Huo Nanxiao's heart clench.
Xia Ningxi's lips curved into a slight smile, with a hint of provocation: "Look, who said the kids don't have a good appetite? I feel like they have a great appetite. Look at them, they're all very enthusiastic. How could they not like to eat?"
That slap landed right on Huo Nanxiao's face!
Huo Nanxiao couldn't laugh at all, and he had no appetite. Sitting to the side watching this seemingly harmonious family ostracize him, he had a feeling that he was the most superfluous person in this family.
After they finished eating, Huo Nanxiao suggested, "A Yuan, Xing Xing and Chu Chu, Daddy is taking you to the water park today. I've also prepared water guns and all sorts of toys for you. How about we go together?"
Huo Yuan shook his head: "I want to stay with Mommy. Wherever Mommy is, I will be there too."
Xingxing said sourly, "Daddy finally gets a break, aren't you going to spend time with your little sweetheart?"
Huo Nanxiao's face darkened immediately.
Chu Chu said in her childish voice, "It costs money to pay for your little lover, but it doesn't cost money to spend time with us."
Huo Nanxiao's face darkened even more.
Xingxing continued to tease him: "We mustn't disturb Daddy's secret rendezvous, lest we anger Xia Wanwan and we won't even be able to have a meal at Grandpa and Grandma's house. She might even throw us out like a spoiled young mistress."
Chu Chu: "Oh, it's so scary! Mommy, Mommy, let's go home."
The little guy started performing a skit in front of Huo Nanxiao, making Huo Nanxiao's temples throb. He regretted it; why did he have to provoke these two little devils? They were both young, but their mouths were incredibly sharp. He had never imagined that his children would be so eloquent and skilled at mocking people.
He had no choice but to turn to Xia Ningxi and say, "Let's go together."
"They've already rejected you so decisively, why are you still going?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
"You know why they resist me," said Huo Nanxiao.
"I don't know." Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at him, put down her chopsticks, and said, "I'm full. I'm going to the hospital in a bit. The children will come with me. You don't need to worry about anything happening to the children if they go to the hospital with me. Thanks to you, I'm still on leave and have plenty of free time to take care of the children."
She got up to go upstairs, and before leaving, she told the children, "I'm going to change my clothes. You wait for me downstairs."
The three little ones nodded obediently, looking incredibly cute.
But he shows a completely different face when facing Huo Nanxiao.
This was the first time Huo Nanxiao had ever seen a child so ruthless and cold-hearted.
"Do you all hate me that much?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Huo Yuan replied, "We can't like what Daddy does either."
Huo Nanxiao: "I will handle Xia Wanwan's matter properly in the future. I hope you will not resent me as your father because of Xia Wanwan."
Xingxing retorted, "Does Daddy have to be grateful to you for abandoning Mommy and us for her? We're kids, not fools."
Huo Nanxiao: "Xingxing, my engagement to Xia Wanwan is just a temporary measure. I will separate from her after she recovers."
Xingxing snorted: "Why does Daddy have to say these things to lie to us? Anyway, we don't need you. So many people are begging to be our daddy, we don't need you. Whatever you want to give Xia Wanwan has nothing to do with us. When we go abroad, we have plenty of godfathers to take care of us. They are all very outstanding, handsome and rich. Which one of them is better than you?"
