Chapter 69 Let's invite the rich uncle home.
Xia Ningxi was not happy at all.
Although it was difficult for Huo Nanxiao to take the initiative to compromise, Xia Ningxi always felt that Huo Nanxiao was not that kind-hearted.
It was so late, and the way he seemed so eager to take her home made Xia Ningxi uneasy.
However, Huo Nanxiao's attitude was very firm: Xia Ningxi could not leave the hospital unless she rode in his car.
In the end, Xia Ningxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and get into Huo Nanxiao's car.
She was very nervous.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xia Ningxi quietly sent a text message to Xia Jingcheng, asking if Chu Chu and Xing Xing were asleep.
They weren't asleep; the two were playing in the yard.
This is Xia Jingcheng's answer.
Upon seeing this, Xia Ningxi immediately replied with a text message: "I'm on my way back. Huo Nanxiao is driving the car himself. Quickly hide the two children."
The moment the text message was sent, Xia Ningxi felt a sharp gaze.
"Who are you talking to?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi's hands trembled slightly, and her palms were sweating profusely. She didn't know why she was so nervous. After taking a deep breath, she said, "Friend."
"Ordinary friends?" Huo Nanxiao narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Xia Ningxi felt uncomfortable under that burning gaze. She straightened up and tried to calm herself down, but she couldn't calm down at all. She was almost home and didn't know if Xia Jingcheng would have enough time to hide the child.
Xia Ningxi was filled with anxiety and unease.
Huo Nanxiao saw through Xia Ningxi's thoughts at a glance, stepped on the gas, and the car speed increased. In less than three minutes, the car stopped in front of Xia Ningxi's house.
She was so nervous that she almost stopped breathing.
Xia Chuchu is very slow and indecisive. When she's out playing, it takes an hour of coaxing before she'll be willing to go home.
Looking around, it was completely empty, without even a light.
Are the children asleep?
Xia Ningxi was puzzled.
As for Huo Nanxiao, he had been searching for the little girl ever since his car stopped in front of Xia Ningxi's house.
He had actually asked Ye Su to investigate, but everything about Xia Ningxi had been completely erased, including the little girl's identity and background.
It was that man who did it.
Over the years, he has kept Xia Ningxi hidden away.
Thinking about this made Huo Nanxiao feel very irritable, and he tightened his grip on the steering wheel slightly.
"I'm home, thank you," Xia Ningxi said indifferently, opened the door, and left.
She left resolutely.
A slender figure, both unfamiliar and stubborn.
She wasn't like this before.
Now, she's as cold as a completely different person.
Huo Nanxiao felt uneasy. He didn't know why, but he couldn't help but look at Xia Ningxi a few more times.
After Xia Ningxi returned home, Huo Nanxiao didn't leave either; his car was parked not far away.
He was smoking in the car.
He only smokes when he's in a particularly agitated mood.
Through the window, Xia Ningxi could clearly see the swirling smoke and the crimson flame in the darkness.
"Mommy, Mommy, is that the rich uncle?" Just then, a baby's voice came.
Xia Chuchu peered curiously out the window, watching Huo Nanxiao from afar.
Xia Ningxi was startled and quickly carried Xia Chuchu back into the house.
Inside the car, Huo Nanxiao seemed to sense someone watching him and subconsciously looked upstairs, only to see Xia Ningxi's back.
He didn't see the little girl who was leaning against the window.
Xia Chuchu, who was suddenly scooped up and carried away, looked bewildered: "Mommy?"
Xia Ningxi quickly carried Xia Chuchu to the living room. She locked every door to any room where Huo Nanxiao could be seen, afraid the two little ones might peek out the window and be seen by Huo Nanxiao.
She was terrified that Huo Nanxiao would recognize Chu Chu, because Chu Chu and Xing Xing looked somewhat alike.
"Mommy, did Uncle Rich take you home? Why don't you invite him in for a chat?" Xia Chuchu asked curiously.
Xia Ningxi's lips twitched, and she forced herself to answer, "He's a bad person, Mommy doesn't dare invite him to our house."
"Is such a rich uncle a bad person?" Xia Chuchu was shocked.
Xia Ningxi patiently replied, "There are many good people in this world, but that uncle outside the door is a bad person. If Chuchu gets caught by him, you must tell Mommy immediately. If you can't contact Mommy, ask the uncles and aunties on the street for help, understand?"
"Is Uncle Rich a human trafficker?" Xia Chuchu asked in shock.
Xia Ningxi nodded: "That's right, he is a human trafficker."
"How terrifying! How many children must this rich uncle have sold to earn so much money?"
The little guy looked scared.
Xia Jingcheng held back his laughter.
Xia Ningxi wiped away her cold sweat, thankfully managing to get away with it.
only……
Xia Ningxi noticed that Xia Xingxing's expression was not good. Since Xia Ningxi returned, Xingxing had not said a word.
"Is Xingxing feeling unwell?" Xia Ningxi walked over and gently touched Xia Xingxing's forehead.
Xia Xingxing smiled slightly: "Mommy, I'm fine."
"Then why aren't you saying anything?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Xia Xingxing asked, "Are Mommy and that uncle very familiar with each other? Was he the one who took Mommy home yesterday?"
"Yes, yes, I saw it yesterday," Chu Chu quickly replied.
Xia Xingxing's gaze became more serious as he stared into Xia Ningxi's eyes.
"Mommy, are you very familiar with him?"
Xia Ningxi shook her head: "Not familiar with it."
"Then why did Mommy ride home in his car for two consecutive days?" Xingxing asked again.
Xia Ningxi said, "My mom injured her leg. He was the parent of one of my patients, and he happened to have a car to take me home. We weren't very familiar with each other."
"Mommy is injured?" Chu Chu asked in shock.
Xia Ningxi nodded: "Yes, on my leg."
"Let me see, wow, you're bleeding! Mommy must be in a lot of pain, right? Don't go to work tomorrow. Chu Chu still has some money; Chu Chu will take care of you." Xia Chu Chu was heartbroken.
Xia Xingxing was slightly alarmed when she saw the injury on Xia Ningxi's leg, and her brows furrowed tightly.
Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury, nothing serious. If you really care about Mommy, then focus on your studies and don't cause me any trouble, okay?"
"Okay!" Chu Chu nodded obediently.
Xingxing pouted; he knew Mommy was lying to him.
That man was clearly Huo Yuan's father, and also his father.
Mommy clearly knows Daddy, but she refuses to admit it. Is it because Daddy isn't a good person?
Could he really be a human trafficker?
No way! Daddy owns a super, super big company and does legitimate business. How could he possibly do something like this?
Mommy is lying again.
Xia Xingxing's face fell, and without saying a word, she silently poured a glass of warm water for Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi was very happy: "Thank you, Xingxing."
Xia Xingxing asked, "Is Mommy going to the hospital to keep watch tonight?"
"I'm not going. I'll stay with you guys tonight," Xia Ningxi replied.
Xia Xingxing said, "But the uncle at the door is still there. Isn't he waiting for Mommy to go back to the hospital?"
Huo Nanxiao did not leave.
Xia Xingxing saw it clearly when she went to save water: Huo Nanxiao's car was parked downstairs, waiting for someone.
