Chapter 192 Jealous of Xia Chuchu
Chu Xinran also skipped lunch and stayed to have a meal with everyone.
Just as Xia Ningxi had guessed, the family members of the patient who had the surgery that afternoon, after hearing about Xia Ningxi's scandal, insisted on changing doctors. In the end, Yang Yuean took Xia Ningxi's place on the operating table.
With nothing to do and Huo Nanxiao not sending Xia Xingxing to the hospital, Xia Ningxi simply went home to take care of the child.
Chu Xinran also went back to the Mingding Courtyard.
Xia Chuchu was overjoyed and ran towards Chu Xinran from afar, saying, "Aunt Xinran, you've finally come to see me."
"Little cutie, is your foot feeling better?" Chu Xinran smiled and picked Xia Chuchu up.
Xia Chuchu said, "I'm fine, I'm all better now."
"No wonder you run so fast, you're such a cutie." Chu Xinran kissed the little guy's chubby cheeks.
Seeing Huo Yuan standing at the door, not daring to come over, Chu Xinran thought he was Xia Xingxing, so she went over and tapped Huo Yuan on the forehead.
What was supposed to be a very affectionate gesture completely stunned Huo Yuan. His cheeks flushed red instantly, and he ran behind Xia Ningxi with a cry, his little hands fearfully clutching the hem of her clothes.
"Why has this little one become so timid?" Chu Xinran frowned as she carried Xia Chuchu upstairs to play with building blocks.
Huo Yuan tugged at Xia Ningxi's sleeve fearfully: "Mommy, why did that auntie knock on me?"
"Does it hurt?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Huo Yuan shook his head: "It doesn't hurt."
Xia Ningxi said, "She probably sees you as a star. She likes to pinch your cheeks and tap your head."
"Oh, I see." Huo Yuan suddenly realized.
Xia Ningxi hugged Huo Yuan and said gently, "Chu Xinran is Mommy's good friend, and she will like you very much, so you don't need to be afraid of her, understand?"
"Mm." Huo Yuan nodded obediently.
Xia Ningxi let go of the little one: "Okay, go play with your sister."
"Okay." Huo Yuan happily ran upstairs.
After watching Huo Yuan walk away, Xia Jingcheng asked anxiously, "What exactly happened last night? Why did such a big fuss happen? Now everyone outside is talking about you and Huo Nanxiao."
Xia Ningxi said, "Xia Luoluo wanted to use someone else to do her dirty work. She used me to push Fu Mingyan down the steps, which caused Fu Mingyan to get injured. When the Fu family investigated, Xia Luoluo didn't want to take the blame, so she dragged Xia Wanwan into it as a scapegoat."
Xia Jingcheng said with a serious expression, "This is her usual trick. Over the years, whenever she has done something wrong, she has always used Xia Wanwan as a shield. No matter how angry Huo Nanxiao is, he will still protect her for Xia Wanwan's sake."
Xia Ningxi said, "But this time, we angered Huo Xiuyuan."
"So that's why Huo Xiuyuan revealed that Xia Wanwan didn't get a marriage certificate with Huo Nanxiao?" Xia Jingcheng asked.
Xia Ningxi nodded.
Xia Jingcheng frowned: "Strange, what is Huo Nanxiao thinking? When you had a difficult childbirth, he still held a huge wedding for Xia Wanwan. The wedding was held, so why didn't they get a marriage certificate?"
“I was still alive then, so if he got a marriage certificate again, it would be bigamy. Even if Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan had a wedding, I would still be Huo Nanxiao’s wife in name only. I just find it strange that even though I’ve been ‘dead’ for so many years, shouldn’t he let Xia Wanwan rightfully take the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family?”
As Xia Ningxi finished speaking, she lowered her eyes, realizing that she couldn't understand Huo Nanxiao at all.
She thought about it for a long time but still couldn't understand why.
She even fell into deep thought when she saw the comments people made about her.
Everyone else thought Huo Nanxiao had fallen for her, but only Xia Ningxi knew that it was impossible.
However, Huo Nanxiao's various acts of protection made Xia Ningxi unable to figure out what Huo Nanxiao was thinking.
She was a little tired, so she went back to her room, took a shower, and lay down on the bed to rest.
Huo Yuan arrived unnoticed and cautiously called out "Mommy." Xia Ningxi saw him and gently hugged the little guy, asking, "What's wrong?"
"Mommy, did your aunt cause you any trouble?" Huo Yuan asked.
Xia Ningxi smiled and said, "Why is she causing me trouble?"
Huo Yuan said, "Auntie doesn't like anyone getting close to Daddy. If anyone does, Auntie will cause trouble for them. So, did she make things difficult for you?"
"You even know this? It seems Xia Luoluo has caused quite a bit of trouble for others over the years." Xia Ningxi was very surprised.
Huo Yuan lowered his head: "My aunt said that everyone who gets close to my dad wants to take him away and kick me out of the house. If that's really the case, I'd rather you marry my dad."
Huo Yuan blinked his bright, piercing eyes and said very seriously, "I really like Mommy."
"Yes, I know, but your daddy doesn't like it." Xia Ningxi lowered her eyes.
Huo Yuan lowered his head, unsure how to answer.
Xia Ningxi hugged the little one and said gently, "Don't think too much. Just stay here and I'll take you home when I have time. Don't be afraid."
"But I want to live with Mommy," Huo Yuan pouted.
Xia Ningxi lowered her eyes. If she left Huo Yuan behind, Xia Xingxing would continue to live in the Huo family. Both of them were her sons, and she couldn't let go of either of them.
It seems we should find a way to take the child away as soon as possible.
Xia Ningxi made up her mind.
Outside the window, the headlights of someone's car were extremely glaring, shining directly onto the two-story building where Xia Ningxi lived.
"Mommy, it seems like we have some guests," Huo Yuan said.
"Strange, could it be that reporters have followed us?" Xia Ningxi ran to the window warily to look out, but almost fell out of her window in her excitement.
That's Huo Nanxiao's car!
Why is Huo Nanxiao at her house?!
Xia Ningxi panicked, but what panicked her even more was that Huo Nanxiao brought Xia Xingxing with him!
"It's all over, it's all over." Xia Ningxi was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
She hurried out of the room, but then remembered that Huo Yuan was still inside. She quickly closed all the windows and said to Huo Yuan, "A Yuan, stay in the room and don't come out. I'm going downstairs for a bit, okay?"
"Mm." Huo Yuan nodded obediently.
Xia Ningxi added, "Please don't leave the room, and don't let your daddy find out, okay?"
"Okay." Huo Yuan nodded again.
Xia Ningxi closed the door and rushed downstairs.
Huo Nanxiao was already standing at the door with Xia Xingxing.
"Why are you here?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Huo Nanxiao sneered: "I asked you to come to the Huo family to take care of the children, but you didn't take a word of it to heart. Do you even care about him?"
Xia Ningxi glanced at Xia Xingxing.
The little guy kept winking at her.
The little guy shouldn't have been wronged.
Xia Ningxi breathed a sigh of relief, but since Xia Xingxing was alright, why did Huo Nanxiao bring him to her home?
Xia Ningxi said, "So you're planning to have me take care of the child tonight? Okay, leave the child with me, and I'll bring him to you tomorrow."
"Hmph, you only have eyes for that daughter, how can you take good care of him?" Huo Nanxiao sneered.
Xia Ningxi sensed that Huo Nanxiao's words carried a hint of jealousy.
Could he be jealous of Chu Chu?
