Chapter 732 Stop Fighting
Xia Ningxi wasn't hungry and could only eat three or four shrimp before she couldn't eat anymore. Li Yancheng then peeled crabs, arranging each piece of crab meat neatly on a plate, very elegantly, before placing it in front of Xia Ningxi.
"Young Master Li is so good to Sister Ning Xi." Fu Mingyan said with envy, her eyes practically sparkling with hearts.
Ji Feibai laughed and said, "Peeling a lobster or a crab is good enough? That's all you're good for."
"You didn't even peel it for me to eat," Fu Mingyan said angrily.
Ji Feibai called over two crab peelers and said, "Whatever you want to eat, they'll peel it for you. You can have as much as you want."
"Tch, how can this be the same? The ones that Young Master Li peeled for Sister Ningxi were full of love, every bite was the embodiment of love. How can they be the same as those peeled by ordinary people? They even taste different!" Fu Mingyan started to argue.
Ji Feibai was speechless. He couldn't understand how Fu Mingyan, who was so obsessed with love, could say such a thing. Too lazy to retort, he turned around and saw that Huo Nanxiao had been watching Xia Ningxi's every move. In particular, when Xia Ningxi ate the shrimp that Li Yancheng had peeled, he could clearly feel the veins bulging on Huo Nanxiao's hands.
How did they end up in this chaotic situation? If Xia Ningxi continues to accept Li Yancheng's advances so brazenly, Nan Xiao might just start a fight with him.
Ji Feibai silently drank his red wine and secretly nudged Jin Mingxi, signaling him to observe Huo Nanxiao's every move.
Jin Mingxi noticed Huo Nanxiao earlier than Ji Feibai, but he was more curious about how Xia Wanwan would resolve the matter.
The four of them are like a love quadrangle.
No matter which pair they are, they seem to be a perfect match, yet they just don't seem to fit together at all.
Although Huo Nanxiao has treated Xia Wanwan very well over the years, and in the eyes of outsiders, Huo Nanxiao has given Xia Wanwan a lot of face, he has never given Xia Ningxi anything. In the eyes of outsiders, they all think that Huo Nanxiao prefers Xia Wanwan.
In fact, at first, Jin Mingxi and Ji Feibai also felt that Huo Nanxiao liked Xia Wanwan more, after all, he had done so much for Xia Wanwan. However, upon closer observation, they found that Huo Nanxiao's feelings for Xia Wanwan were just ordinary care and protection, as well as a kind of inexplicable sense of guilt. But when it came to Xia Ningxi, even a very small thing could easily stir Huo Nanxiao's emotions.
Even though Fu Mingyan humiliated Xia Wanwan just now, Huo Nanxiao was able to remain calm. But now, everyone felt that Huo Nanxiao's fists were hard.
He clearly cares too much about Xia Ningxi.
Ji Feibai quickly instructed the waiter to cook a bowl of hangover soup for Huo Nanxiao, fearing that Huo Nanxiao would start a fight due to the alcohol.
But Huo Nanxiao didn't drink it. Instead, he gave Ji Feibai a warning look. Ji Feibai didn't know what he had done wrong.
Xia Wanwan thoughtfully tugged at Huo Nanxiao's sleeve: "Nanxiao, you have to go to the company tomorrow morning, why don't you have some tea?"
"Okay." Huo Nanxiao drank the tea that Xia Wanwan handed him in one gulp.
Li Yancheng raised an eyebrow and poured Xia Ningxi a cup of tea as well: "This tea is especially delicious today, you should try it."
Xia Wanwan's gaze immediately fell on Li Yancheng. How could she not see that this guy was deliberately imitating her? Xia Wanwan felt offended, but she couldn't say anything. She knew very well that Li Yancheng hadn't done anything to harm her; he was just deliberately trying to annoy her. Even so, Xia Wanwan didn't dare to get angry.
She started making some delicious snacks for Huo Nanxiao.
Li Yancheng followed suit and also got some snacks for Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi would take a bite of everything, just to appease Li Yancheng.
Xia Wanwan, on the other hand, was fine. Apart from the tea served at the beginning, Huo Nanxiao didn't touch or eat anything.
The scene had an indescribable eeriness, and the temperature was so low that it was hard to breathe.
The group of people who were initially watching the play also felt that the atmosphere was very oppressive. Jin Mingxi made an excuse to leave, and Ji Feibai also dragged Fu Mingyan to the toilet, leaving Fu Mingyan confused and cursing under her breath.
Xia Ningxi could tell from their departing figures that they had deliberately fled this place.
With the onlookers gone, Xia Ningxi stopped pretending and asked Li Yancheng, "Can we go back now?"
“Of course,” Li Yancheng replied with a smile.
Xia Ningxi picked up her phone and prepared to leave.
Huo Nanxiao stared at her dangerously: "Where are you going?"
"Go home," Xia Ningxi replied.
Li Yancheng: "Let's go home."
Xia Ningxi suddenly looked at Li Yancheng.
Li Yancheng's expression was smug; he was probably deliberately trying to provoke Huo Nanxiao, afraid Huo Nanxiao wouldn't get angry. Xia Ningxi felt exhausted. How could she be so unlucky to have these two bastards? Every time they argued, they dragged her into it. If they were so capable, they should fight it out themselves!
Suppressing her anger, Xia Ningxi said to Li Yancheng, "You're overthinking it. I'm going back to the Huo family."
“He has to take Xia Wanwan back later. They might even share a blanket tonight. It would break my heart to see you all alone. Why don’t you come to my place? I have lots of nice things to show you.” Li Yancheng was quite kind.
Xia Wanwan's face flushed red as she angrily said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Don't you want to? Hmph, if you didn't want to, you wouldn't be currying favor with Huo Nanxiao." Li Yancheng sneered, his gaze falling on Huo Nanxiao again: "I will take good care of Xia Ningxi. As for you, take good care of Xia Wanwan. She is in poor health and has been treated like a monkey by so many people. Without your protection, she will have a hard time moving around in the capital. I wish you happiness."
Leaving behind a sentence, Li Yancheng grasped Xia Ningxi's hand and led her away in front of Huo Nanxiao. He tried to pull her away several times but couldn't. Li Yancheng was puzzled, but when he turned around, he found that Huo Nanxiao had already grasped Xia Ningxi's other hand. No wonder he couldn't pull her away no matter what he did.
"you……"
Bang!
Before Li Yancheng could finish speaking, a loud punch landed on his face. He was stunned for a while and didn't react. He couldn't swallow this insult and retaliated without saying a word.
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
Countless gazes were cast upon them.
Xia Ningxi pulled Huo Nanxiao back: "Stop fighting."
Huo Nanxiao suppressed his anger: "Let go."
"With so many people watching, don't make a scene," Xia Ningxi cautioned.
Huo Nanxiao sneered: "You're already feeling sorry for him before you're even together?"
"You—" Xia Ningxi was speechless for a moment, completely angered by Huo Nanxiao.
At this moment, Li Yancheng added fuel to the fire: "You still have eyes. Since you know that Xia Ningxi cares about me, stay away from her. Don't think that you are still the legitimate husband with the marriage certificate in your hand. You are nothing now."
Huo Nanxiao's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "Don't even think about getting what doesn't belong to you. Xia Ningxi doesn't belong to you."
"Your words don't count," Li Yancheng said dismissively.
