Chapter 519 I Don't Need You
The air seemed to freeze, and in the huge CEO's office, only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.
Xia Wanwan looked at Huo Nanxiao's tall back. His perfect, flawless face had no blemishes, but his brows exuded a coldness. He just stood there quietly, saying nothing, yet he gave people an indescribable sense of oppression.
She had never seen Huo Nanxiao so cold before; he must be angry.
"Nan Xiao, I really didn't know about this, and I never expected my mother to do this," Xia Wanwan explained once again.
Huo Nanxiao coldly replied, "I do owe you something, and what your mother said is true. There's nothing wrong with that."
“But…” Xia Wanwan didn’t know how to explain.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I will keep my promise to you. If you have any other requests, you can make them all at once. As long as they are not excessive, I can meet them."
His voice was deep and pleasant, but for some reason, even though it was a very calm sentence, it gave people a strange chill.
He was so unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that it shook Xia Wanwan's heart.
Her eyes reddened. "I never intended to hurt you, nor did I ever intend to use what happened back then to force you to make any decisions against your true feelings. If you only chose to marry me because of what happened back then, then I am not willing."
Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes, his deep gaze fixed on the girl before him, and said, word by word, "I owe you my life. I will grant you whatever you ask for. This is the last chance I'm giving you to make a request."
"I don't remember anything from back then. I've forgotten everything. I have no idea what happened. I hope that our relationship won't be mixed with anything else. Don't you have feelings for me anymore?"
Xia Wanwan looked at the man in front of her with red eyes, her face pale and bloodless. No one knew how much courage she had to say those words.
Her heart clenched with anxiety; she had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
Xia Wanwan could see Huo Nanxiao's coldness and aloofness towards her during this period. She wondered why this was happening, but when she thought about everything that had happened between Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi, and that they already had children, Xia Wanwan's heart grew colder and colder.
The man did not give her an answer.
The endless silence chilled Xia Wanwan to the bone. She lowered her eyes. "Why won't you answer me? Or have you already fallen for Xia Ningxi? What about what happened back then? You were the one who said you'd marry me! If you like her, why did you agree to my parents' demands?"
She screamed out in a hoarse, furious voice.
Huo Nanxiao stared at her with a cold gaze: "I will keep my promise. After you enter the Huo family, the debt of gratitude you owe me for saving me will be completely settled."
"So you agreed to marry me just to repay the life-saving grace I gave you back then?" Xia Wanwan's body was trembling.
"yes."
The word "cold" carries no warmth whatsoever.
When Huo Nanxiao said it, it was utterly chilling.
Xia Wanwan's eyes turned red, and her already cracked heart crumbled little by little, breaking apart and finally turning into a pile of fragments!
She liked Huo Nanxiao and had considered marrying him, but what she wanted was mutual love, for Huo Nanxiao to genuinely like her and be willing to marry her, not because of that ridiculous life-saving grace.
The proud woman felt like a useless piece of trash that no one wanted, and that she only had the right to propose marriage to Huo Nanxiao because she had "saved" him back then.
No wonder those three kids disliked her and called her a mistress.
Xia Wanwan raised her head, looked at Huo Nanxiao's indifferent face, and said, word by word, "I, Xia Wanwan, am not indispensable to you. If you think I am taking advantage of your kindness and forcing you to marry me because I saved your life back then, then this marriage is off!"
She left Huo Nanxiao's office in tears, but if you looked closely, you could see a resoluteness in her eyes that no one else possessed!
Ye Su, who was outside the door, was a little surprised to see Xia Wanwan leave like that. She quickly ran up to help Xia Wanwan push her wheelchair, but Xia Wanwan refused.
"I can manage on my own, no need to trouble you." After saying that, Xia Wanwan propelled her electric wheelchair directly into the elevator.
The three children craned their necks, all looking puzzled.
Chu Chu asked in her childish voice, "Daddy likes this woman, right? Why is she crying?"
Huo Yuan said, "They probably had a fight."
"Can arguing really make someone cry?" Chu Chu was very surprised.
Xingxing said, "Judging from the way they are, they must have parted on bad terms. As long as their relationship doesn't progress, it should be a good thing for us."
"You're right." Huo Yuan wholeheartedly agreed with Xingxing's words.
Xingxing said, "To make sure Daddy doesn't marry this woman, starting today, we have to have someone follow Daddy 24 hours a day to sabotage their relationship and prevent them from being alone together for long periods of time."
Chu Chu nodded: "That's right! Nobody can take our money away!"
The three little ones entered Huo Nanxiao's office together.
The man's complexion was extremely cold, and his aura was frighteningly icy; he must have been angry.
"Daddy, why did that woman run out crying?" Xingxing asked deliberately.
Huo Nanxiao said, "It's nothing."
Xingxing climbed onto Huo Nanxiao's lap: "Is Daddy planning to abandon us?"
Huo Nanxiao's gaze darkened, a complex expression appearing on his handsome face. He picked up Xingxing with one arm and Huo Yuan with the other, looking at the two well-behaved and sensible children, and then at the adorable little girl who was so cute that he couldn't bear to put her down...
He is so fortunate to have these lovely children; how could he possibly bear to give them up?
However, there are always trade-offs in everything.
Huo Nanxiao is sorry to Xia Wanwan; he owes Xia Wanwan and he must repay her.
"Daddy won't abandon you," Huo Nanxiao replied firmly.
Huo Yuan asked, "What about Mommy? Will Daddy kick Mommy out and marry Xia Wanwan instead?"
Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes and looked at the three children, suddenly unsure how to answer them.
He ultimately couldn't tell the children the truth.
"Don't ask so many questions, I'll handle this." Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice. He held his two precious sons and then beckoned to the adorable little Chu Chu, who was all pink and tender: "Come here, Daddy will hold you."
"Hmph! I won't give it to you!"
Chu Chu proudly held her little braids high, her chin practically pointing to the sky.
Huo Nanxiao was both amused and exasperated. This little girl had quite a temper. She was so arrogant at such a young age and wouldn't let anyone touch her. She was just like Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi...
Huo Nanxiao's face suddenly darkened when he realized she had been missing for a day. He put the child down and immediately left the president's office.
"President." Ye Su quickly stepped forward, thinking that Huo Nanxiao had some work to give.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Go find out where Xia Ningxi is."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Ye Su immediately went to investigate.
Within half an hour, the investigation results came out: Xia Ningxi had been staying at Li Yancheng's private estate and had not come out yet.
Huo Nanxiao called Xia Ningxi, but the woman didn't answer. He called several more times, but couldn't get through at all. Without a doubt, Xia Ningxi was so audacious as to block his number!
