Chapter 584 Isolated by a Family of Four
Huo Nanxiao felt like he owed them millions and hadn't paid them back, so they all wanted to devour him, especially Xingxing and Chuchu, whose dissatisfaction and anger were clearly visible.
Huo Nanxiao's prepared remarks got stuck in his throat when he saw the anger on the three little ones' faces. He could only put on a cold and calm look and say, "Good morning."
"Good morning, Daddy," Huo Yuan replied politely.
Xingxing said sourly, "Such a big CEO doesn't go out with his fiancée on the weekend, but he has time to treat us to dinner?"
Chu Chu: "What if we're halfway through our meal and his fiancée suddenly jumps out and demands we pay?"
Xingxing: "That's quite possible. She's already his fiancée, practically the mistress of the house. If she thinks we're wasting their food, she might make us spit it out."
"I don't have any money, so I'm not eating it," Chu Chu pouted.
In the vast Lan Courtyard, all the servants kept their heads very low.
They could all tell that the two little ones were mocking Huo Nanxiao.
Looking at their young master Huo, whose handsome face was now so dark it could be boiled in oil, they didn't think the children were going too far. In fact, they thought what the children said made perfect sense. However, they dared not say this to Huo Nanxiao; only the two little ones had such audacity.
Huo Nanxiao was angry, but he couldn't really get angry with his child. Most importantly, he knew he was wrong and had let Xia Ningxi and the child down. He had no complaints.
“This is your home. Xia Wanwan will not appear here. Even if she does, she is a guest, and you are the hosts. You do not need to pay any fees here. I am your father and have the obligation to raise you. Not only do you not have to pay for your food here, but I will also pay for everything you spend when you go out.”
"That's easy for you to say, but I haven't seen you pay the bill yet," Chu Chu said in a childish voice.
Huo Nanxiao walked up to her and carefully picked up the little one.
At first, she struggled: "Let me go."
Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice, "I can buy you anything you want."
"Hmph, I don't want to. My mommy will buy me whatever I want. Who cares about your stinking money?" Chu Chu raised her little face arrogantly and swung her little hands, slapping Huo Nanxiao's face a few times. She hit him hard, and Huo Nanxiao let go of her hand in a flash.
The little girl quickly ran away and hid behind Xingxing.
"Sister, let's go, let's ignore him." Xingxing took Chuchu's hand and went into the house.
Huo Yuan quickly caught up with his younger brother and sister. Huo Nanxiao wanted to interact with him, but the little guy clearly cared more about Xingxing and Chuchu. In addition, Huo Yuan was angry about what Huo Nanxiao had done to Xia Ningxi recently, and didn't want to get too close to him.
Aunt Zhang greeted the three little ones with a smile: "Young masters, Miss Chu Chu, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"
Aunt Zhang hugged the three adorable porcelain dolls tightly, beaming with joy.
The housekeeper also came over, hugging and cuddling the three little darlings. How could they not love such adorable little ones?
These past few days, the little ones haven't been staying at Lanyuan. They're all incredibly bored, having to face the blind Huo Nanxiao every day. No one knows how miserable their lives are.
Fortunately, the young mistress and the children returned today, which made everyone very happy. The three little ones were incredibly enthusiastic towards them and quickly became friends with everyone. They greeted everyone with smiles, their eyes crinkling into crescent moons. But as soon as they saw Huo Nanxiao, the three little ones immediately turned on their faces, faster than turning the pages of a book.
Huo Nanxiao could also see that although this was his home, he was the least welcome person in this home.
He felt uneasy.
Hearing footsteps coming from upstairs, Huo Nanxiao looked towards the source of the sound and found that it was Xia Ningxi, who had just woken up. He wanted to tell her that he had brought the children over, but before he could even speak, the three little ones ran towards Xia Ningxi and enthusiastically sought a hug.
"Why are you here?" Xia Ningxi asked, pleasantly surprised.
Xingxing said, "There was a heartless guy who sent Grandpa Butler to pick us up."
Xia Ningxi glanced at Huo Nanxiao. Who else could this heartless guy be but him?
She smiled and said, "Have breakfast here. After breakfast, Mommy will take you to the hospital to play."
"Okay!" the three little ones said in unison.
Huo Nanxiao: "I want to take the kids to the water park."
"The weather isn't suitable for going to that kind of place right now; the child will easily catch a cold. We're not going," Xia Ningxi refused without hesitation.
Huo Nanxiao said, "The indoor temperature is constant, so there won't be any problems."
Xia Ningxi left the choice to the children: "Do you want to go to the water park?"
The three little ones shook their heads in unison, surprisingly unanimously indicating that they did not want to go out with Huo Nanxiao.
“Look, the children don’t want to go out with you, so I can’t do anything about it. They can come back to the hospital with me. I’ll take them out to play after I’m done with this.” Xia Ningxi refused Huo Nanxiao’s offer.
Huo Nanxiao: "It's the weekend, and you still have to work? Weren't you suspended? Why are you working so hard?"
"If I don't work hard, how will you support me? Besides, don't you know why I was suspended? How dare you bring this up in front of me?"
Xia Ningxi, who wasn't so angry at first, suddenly felt a surge of anger rising within her. This guy really knew how to bring up the sore spot. He showed no remorse for what he had done. If the children weren't here, she would have definitely fought with Huo Nanxiao!
After giving him a disdainful look, Xia Ningxi angrily led the three children past him.
Breakfast was plentiful, and it was all things that Xia Ningxi and the children liked. Perhaps because they were so satisfied with the breakfast, Huo Nanxiao was not disliked for sitting at the same table with them.
But he could feel a strange sense of isolation. The three children and the one adult in front of him didn't even glance at him from beginning to end, treating him like air. Huo Nanxiao had never felt this way in his life.
When he walks outside, no matter what their status or position, everyone who sees Huo Nanxiao is always extremely respectful. Even an enemy like Li Yancheng can't ignore his presence. Xia Ningxi and the children, on the other hand, perfectly demonstrate their ability to ignore people at this moment.
This caused Huo Nanxiao, who was high and mighty, to feel an indescribable sense of loss. This sense of loss left him at a loss, but he didn't know how to explain it to Xia Ningxi, let alone how to get along with them.
