Chapter 530 He still has the nerve to come here
In the following days, Xia Ningxi did not return to the Huo family or make any calls to Huo Nanxiao. It was as if she had vanished into thin air. However, Huo Nanxiao knew that Xia Ningxi had been working all day and acted as if nothing had happened. She did not pay attention to what was happening outside, nor did she question Huo Nanxiao. Everything seemed as if nothing had occurred.
During the days she was gone, Huo Nanxiao felt a mix of emotions. He wanted to call Xia Ningxi several times, but he held back each time.
After thinking for a moment, he dialed Huo Yuan's phone number.
At this moment, Huo Yuan was sitting with his younger siblings studying math problems when he saw his smartwatch light up, and his face fell.
"Whose call was that?" Chu Chu asked curiously as she leaned closer.
Huo Yuan said, "It's Daddy on the phone."
"What does he want with you?" Xingxing asked unhappily.
Huo Yuan lowered his head: "Perhaps Daddy wants to see me about something?"
"What could he possibly want from us? Hasn't he been spending all his time with Xia Wanwan lately? They're about to get engaged, and once he's married, he'll have other kids. What's he trying to prove in front of us?" Xingxing sneered, her sarcasm utterly unkind.
Huo Yuan knew his younger siblings were unhappy, and after thinking for a long time, he ultimately decided not to answer Huo Nanxiao's call.
Later, Huo Nanxiao called him several more times, but Huo Yuan didn't answer.
He then tried contacting Xingxing and Chuchu, but the two little ones ignored him just the same way.
The phone call lasted for half an hour, but no one paid any attention to it.
"President, it's time for the meeting."
Ye Su suddenly knocked on the office door and respectfully reminded him.
Huo Nanxiao snapped out of his daze, his deep eyes regaining their icy coldness: "Cancel it, I'm busy."
"Huh?" Ye Su was stunned, blinking her big eyes as she looked at Huo Nanxiao's cold profile, wondering: Isn't the president supposed to be free? How come he's not available?
Ye Su didn't dare to ask any more questions and quickly did as Huo Nanxiao asked.
As for Huo Nanxiao, he continued to call the children.
The perceptive Ye Su quickly noticed this. She couldn't help but want to laugh, but she was afraid of angering Huo Nanxiao, so she kept holding back.
"President, it's the weekend today, the young master and the others should be resting. If you miss them, you can go visit them," Ye Su reminded him.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Go and prepare some things that the children like to eat, and I'll bring them over in a bit."
"Okay." Ye Su quickly went to make the arrangements.
Huo Nanxiao left work early and went to Xia Ningxi's small rented room with a big bag of snacks and toys. Coincidentally, before he had even stopped his car, he saw Xia Ningxi getting out of a taxi.
The two met at their doorstep.
Xia Ningxi was surprised: "What are you doing here?"
"Let me see the child." Huo Nanxiao didn't mince words and directly stated his purpose.
Xia Ningxi said expressionlessly, "No need. They don't want to see you these days. Go back to where you came from."
"This is your own idea, isn't it?" Huo Nanxiao said, displeased.
Xia Ningxi raised her head and looked directly into the man's eyes: "The news of your engagement has already spread throughout the capital. If I know about it, the three children must know about it too. If you still want to be their father, then you should obediently disappear from their sight. Going in now will only spoil their fun."
Huo Nanxiao remained silent.
He ignored Xia Ningxi's words and followed her into the house.
"Ning Xi, you're back!" Xia Jingcheng was very happy when he heard the door open.
He turned around and immediately saw Huo Nanxiao behind Xia Ningxi. Xia Jingcheng's smile froze instantly, and he said with a livid face, "How dare you come here?"
His words were filled with intense anger.
"Who is it? Who's here?"
The three children were stunned by Xia Jingcheng's words and crowded around to watch the commotion. Their faces changed color in an instant, and their innocent and curious expressions were instantly filled with resentment.
"Why is Daddy here?" Huo Yuan asked, his face long and displeased.
Xingxing said, "Didn't Mommy close the door? How did this spoilsport get in?"
Chu Chu gritted her teeth and said, "Just kill him! Just kill him already!"
None of the three little ones welcomed Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao felt uneasy, but he calmly placed the snacks and toys he had bought for the children on the table: "These are for you. See if there's anything you like."
"Hmph, take your junk away, we don't want it." Chu Chu said in a cute but fierce tone.
Xingxing completely ignored Huo Nanxiao, walked to Xia Ningxi's side, and considerately took Xia Ningxi's bag and took out slippers for Xia Ningxi to change into.
"Mommy must be exhausted after a long day at work. Uncle has already made dinner. Let's go eat." Xingxing's voice was sweet and gentle.
Xia Ningxi rubbed the little guy's head and went into the kitchen to wash her hands.
Xia Jingcheng glared fiercely at Huo Nanxiao, but ignored him and told the other three kids to wash their hands and eat.
The family of five sat happily in the restaurant, ignoring Huo Nanxiao and no one offered to invite him to dinner. Everyone treated Huo Nanxiao as if he were invisible.
Huo Nanxiao wasn't angry. He sat silently in the living room, not saying a word, and quietly leaned against the sofa to read the files.
Xia Jingcheng was disappointed by his appearance and asked Xia Ningxi, "Why did you come back with him?"
"I met him at the entrance," Xia Ningxi answered truthfully.
"He still has the nerve to come here. If I wasn't afraid of scaring the child, I would have chased him away with a broom." Xia Jingcheng was furious.
"Uncle, don't be angry. Just treat him like he's not there. There's no need to argue with air," Xingxing said in her childish voice.
Xia Jingcheng still couldn't swallow his anger and glared fiercely at Huo Nanxiao.
The family of five ate their dinner quietly.
In fact, Xia Jingcheng knew that Huo Nanxiao had probably just come from the company and hadn't eaten anything, so after dinner, Xia Jingcheng directly threw the leftovers into the trash can, leaving not a single grain of rice.
"Young Master Huo has been sitting here for an hour now, aren't you leaving?" Xia Jingcheng asked without any politeness after finishing cleaning up the trash.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I've come to see the children; I'll be back later."
"Are you so smart that you can't see that no one in this house welcomes you?" Xia Jingcheng questioned him.
Huo Nanxiao continued looking at the file in his hand, showing no intention of answering Xia Jingcheng.
Xia Jingcheng got even angrier. He picked up a broom and wanted to chase people away, but Xia Ningxi stopped him.
"Brother, please take the children upstairs first," Xia Ningxi pleaded with him.
Xia Jingcheng, seething with anger, led the children upstairs with a dark expression.
Calmness returned to the surroundings.
Xia Ningxi said, "Since you have agreed to give me custody of the children, I hope that from today onwards you will not appear in front of them again."
