Chapter 861 I'm letting you know the wedding date is set.
Huo Yuan said innocently, "But I feel like they're all unhappy tonight, like they're all quite angry."
She nodded, "I think so too."
Chu Chu looked disappointed: "Really, they won't fight? What a pity. It would be great if they did fight, then I could cheer them on from the sidelines."
Huo Yuan asked curiously, "Whom does your sister support?"
"I haven't decided yet. I think Uncle Ling is nice. He even gave us a big house to live in, and he's very gentle, especially towards us," Chu Chu said in her childish voice.
Huo Yuan said, "Even though Daddy is bad, I still love Daddy very much."
Xingxing: "It doesn't matter who wins, we can just watch the show. As long as the furniture isn't smashed, it's fine."
Huo Yuan and Chu Chu both agreed with Xingxing's opinion, and their eyes fell on Xia Ningxi.
Huo Yuan asked curiously, "Who does Mommy like more?"
Xia Ningxi was exasperated. Unlike these three little ones, she wasn't gossipy at all. She just wanted the three downstairs to go home and find their own mothers, and not bother her.
"You three, stop talking nonsense and go take a shower," Xia Ningxi ordered.
The three little ones were very dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to disobey Xia Ningxi, so they had no choice but to obediently go find clothes to take a bath.
As for the three people downstairs, they sat facing each other, and an inexplicable murderous aura emanated from them.
Huo Nanxiao coldly stared at the two people in front of him and slowly said, "You two seem to have a lot of free time. Next time you come, please let us know in advance so that the gatekeeper doesn't recognize you and might accidentally injure you."
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Huo. Ning Xi knows me, and even if the security guard is blind, he won't lay a hand on me."
Li Yancheng sneered: "Your men's mediocre skills can't touch me at all."
Huo Nanxiao casually took a sip of tea: "It seems that you two are quite familiar with Xia Ningxi."
Ling Xiao said, "I heard that President Huo has remarried."
"Yes, not only did he get married, but his new wife is still in Lingcheng," Li Yancheng said sarcastically.
Ling Xiao said to Huo Nanxiao, "I shouldn't interfere in Mr. Huo's family affairs, but Xia Ningxi has a very good reputation in Lingcheng. Since Mr. Huo is married, he should keep his distance from her, otherwise it will easily cause her unnecessary trouble."
"For example?" Huo Nanxiao raised an eyebrow.
Ling Xiao said, "I can tell that she wants to keep her distance from you. She probably has no feelings for you anymore. President Huo is a smart man. Now that he has his own family, he should cut off contact with Xia Ningxi."
"Impossible." Huo Nanxiao rejected his suggestion without hesitation.
Ling Xiao wasn't angry. "This is just my suggestion. It's okay if you can't accept it. However, Xia Ningxi is now a guest of honor in the Ling family. As long as she speaks up, I don't mind turning against President Huo."
To be precise, Ling Xiao is now Xia Ningxi's husband, and he has the right to demand that anyone keep their distance from Xia Ningxi, including Huo Nanxiao.
However, he didn't want to cause Xia Ningxi unnecessary trouble, so even though the two had this relationship, Ling Xiao didn't bother to mention it in front of Huo Nanxiao. He knew that all the choices were in Xia Ningxi's hands, and as long as Xia Ningxi was unwilling to give Huo Nanxiao this opportunity, it would be useless even if he had ideas.
As for Li Yancheng, he felt somewhat superfluous at this moment, but being in the midst of the situation, he didn't know why he was superfluous.
However, because he dislikes Huo Nanxiao, no matter what conflict Ling Xiao has with Huo Nanxiao, he will always choose to stand on Ling Xiao's side and attack Huo Nanxiao together.
Huo Nanxiao found them quite annoying and was too lazy to waste words with them.
The situation became increasingly tense, and the three parties almost came to blows. However, they managed to avoid a fight because Xia Ningxi and her child were at home and they were worried about scaring the child.
10 PM.
None of the three left.
Xia Ningxi couldn't hold back any longer and took the initiative to go downstairs to shoo away the guests.
Ling Xiao left quite readily. Li Yancheng was unconvinced, but he couldn't say anything. He suppressed his anger and walked out of the villa.
Huo Nanxiao showed no intention of leaving and was determined to stay overnight.
Li Yancheng was even angrier when he heard the news. He noticed that Ling Xiao hadn't gone far, so he called out to Ling Xiao and asked, "How come you have time to come see Xia Ningxi today?"
“I’ve always been very free,” Ling Xiao replied.
Li Yancheng said, "I had no idea that your relationship with her had become this good."
“I didn’t expect Xia Ningxi to invite you home as a guest.” Ling Xiao’s words were loaded with meaning.
Li Yancheng understood and said, "We like each other and are going to get married in the future, so it's normal to visit her home."
"You're going to get married in the future?" Ling Xiao frowned.
Li Yancheng said, "Don't be envious."
“I’m not envious of you, I’m just curious, does Xia Ningxi know that you’re going to marry her?” Ling Xiao asked with a puzzled look.
Li Yancheng didn't even blink: "Of course I know."
"She didn't tell me." Ling Xiao, her husband, really didn't know that Xia Ningxi was going to remarry.
Li Yancheng: "I'll let you know when the wedding date is set."
"Okay, I understand." Ling Xiao said thoughtfully, getting into the Ling family's car with a gloomy face.
Looking at Ling Xiao's retreating figure, Li Yancheng felt that Ling Xiao was angry. He snorted coldly, "Where does this guy get his temper? Giving me attitude? What did I do to him?"
"That bastard Huo Nanxiao, even though we're divorced, why is he still haunting us? He even chased us all the way to Lingcheng. Does Xia Wanwan know about this? No, I have to tell Xia Wanwan about this so she can deal with Huo Nanxiao."
He loved watching the drama unfold and immediately told Xia Wanwan the news.
Xia Wanwan was heartbroken. It would be a lie to say she wasn't sad, but she couldn't do anything about Huo Nanxiao.
Zhou Fenglin had caused trouble for Xia Ningxi several times because of her moving into Huo Nanxiao's villa, but Xia Wanwan couldn't do anything about it. Zhou Fenglin had gone to cause trouble for Xia Ningxi and ended up in this state himself. Xia Wanwan can't do anything about it now.
Li Yancheng, who was waiting to see Xia Wanwan make a fool of herself, was going to be disappointed this time. Xia Wanwan never even considered causing a scene at Xia Ningxi's house.
Huo Nanxiao, on the other hand, was sulking because of the appearance of other men.
His gaze towards Xia Ningxi was cold, his sharp eyes almost frozen in ice.
Xia Ningxi muttered under her breath, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Explain," Huo Nanxiao said, uttering only two words.
Xia Ningxi said, "What's there to explain? They're just visiting."
"Does Ling Xiao know about your relationship with Li Yancheng?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi nodded: "I know."
"He's quite patient," Huo Nanxiao sneered.
Xia Ningxi said, "What are you angry about?"
"Shouldn't I be angry that you brought another man home?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.
Xia Ningxi said, "The person who should be angry is Ling Xiao. He is my husband now, and he is not angry. You are overstepping your bounds. People who don't know the situation will think that you are my husband."
These words left Huo Nanxiao speechless.
Every time Xia Ningxi brought up this matter, he had no way to explain it.
Xia Ningxi was too lazy to reopen old wounds; it was pointless.
"It's late, the children need to sleep, you should go back." Xia Ningxi began to urge her on.
Huo Nanxiao didn't reply and went upstairs to wash up. He didn't plan to leave, but Xia Ningxi kept urging him to go, so he simply went to coax the children to sleep. In the end, he locked the door and slept with the children.
Xia Ningxi didn't know what to say to him, so she simply ignored it, went back to her room alone, and silently studied a book.
Feeling parched late at night, she went downstairs to pour herself a glass of hot water. As she passed the children's room, she noticed the light was still on. Xia Ningxi quietly pushed open the door and peeked inside. Huo Yuan was awake, nestled in Huo Nanxiao's arms, playing with Huo Nanxiao's fingers as he told her a story.
His younger siblings were already asleep, completely still, but Huo Yuan was very sensitive, his eyes were bright and he showed no sign of wanting to sleep.
"Will Daddy come to see us again tomorrow?" Huo Yuan asked softly.
Huo Nanxiao: "Hmm."
Huo Yuan said, "Then I'd like to hear a different story."
“Okay, I’ll buy you new storybooks tomorrow and read them to you,” Huo Nanxiao readily agreed.
Huo Yuan tilted his head and asked, "Will Daddy still tell us bedtime stories when he has new children?"
"I will not have any other children, only you." Huo Nanxiao said very seriously.
Huo Yuan shook his head: "No, Daddy will have other children. I know that. You and Aunt Wanwan came to Lingcheng to have children. They also said that once Aunt Wanwan is pregnant and has children, you will not care about us anymore, and I will not be able to have Daddy's surname Huo anymore."
“It’s all just gossipy women spreading rumors behind my back. You can’t believe what they’re saying. You will always be my children, and I can’t possibly abandon you.” Huo Nanxiao patiently coaxed Huo Yuan.
Whether the little guy believed it or not, he just snuggled pitifully into Huo Nanxiao's arms and murmured something softly.
Xia Ningxi was too far away to hear what the child was saying, but she could tell that Huo Yuan was very attached to Huo Nanxiao and liked him very much.
Normally, Huo Yuan and his younger siblings were on the same side, and even when he knew he had to leave Huo Nanxiao, he didn't cry.
Xia Ningxi thought Huo Yuan could let go of his feelings just like his younger siblings, but she didn't expect that the children actually couldn't let go of their father at all.
She stood outside the door for a long time, listening to the conversation between the father and son, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
Xia Ningxi did not leave until Huo Yuan fell asleep.
Lying on the soft bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, Huo Yuan's words echoed in her mind, and she tossed and turned but couldn't fall asleep.
I opened my phone; it was past midnight, but new messages were still coming in. Apart from some messages from friends, the rest were from the Xia family.
After Zhou Fenglin was beaten up, he angered Xia Wenhe. Since he didn't dare to cause trouble for Xia Ningxi, he could only bombard her with messages, trying to get Xia Ningxi to apologize to Zhou Fenglin.
Xia Ningxi didn't reply at all and silently deleted Xia Wenhe's chat page.
Scrolling down the message page, besides Xia Wenhe, Xia Wanwan had also contacted her. Unlike Xia Wenhe, who was foul-mouthed, Xia Wanwan, as always, only inquired about Huo Nanxiao's whereabouts, and nothing else.
From beginning to end, she only paid attention to Huo Nanxiao.
It seems that just knowing Huo Nanxiao is still alive is enough.
But Xia Ningxi could see the bitterness and helplessness in Xia Wanwan's words.
Xia Wanwan went to great lengths to marry Huo Nanxiao and finally obtained everything Xia Ningxi had, but in the end, she didn't seem to be able to live the life she wanted.
