Chapter 972 Pregnant, Yours
Huo Xiuyuan knew his son well. Since Huo Nanxiao denied it, it meant that the child in Xia Luoluo's belly really wasn't from the Huo family.
Huo Xiuyuan suddenly laughed: "She doesn't even know whose child she is?"
"I don't know," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Xingxing asked curiously, "But looking at Xia Luoluo, she's very certain that the baby in her belly is Daddy's child. There were rumors circulating about it a while ago, with everyone saying that Daddy and Xia Luoluo are together. Are you really not lying because you're afraid we'll get angry?"
Huo Nanxiao tapped Xingxing on the forehead without hesitation and said very seriously, "Why would I lie?"
Xingxing replied, "You're afraid we'll get angry, afraid Grandpa and Grandma will get angry, and even more afraid Mommy will get angry, so you lied, deliberately distanced yourself from Xia Luoluo, and secretly used money to shut her up. You rich people love to do this kind of thing."
Huo Nanxiao was amused by the little guy's antics. He couldn't understand how Xingxing, who was so small, could have so many thoughts.
But what Xingxing said made perfect sense.
Huo Nanxiao said, "If you don't believe me, just wait patiently."
"Wait until the baby in her belly is born? That makes sense. Then we can do a paternity test and find out if it's Daddy's child or not." Xingxing nodded, counting the time on her little hands.
"She's only just gotten pregnant, and it'll be at least nine months before the baby is born. That's a long time. During this time, she'll definitely go and cause trouble for Mommy. She never looked down on Mommy and hated us before, but now that she's pregnant, she's got her chin in the air," Xingxing muttered under her breath.
He could even picture Xia Luoluo's arrogant and domineering manner, and just thinking about it made him feel disgusted.
However, Xingxing thought for a moment and couldn't help but smile again: "She's spreading it around now. What if the child is born and it turns out it's not the father's biological child? Won't she jump up and down then?"
Xia Luoluo herself didn't know this news, yet she's making such a big fuss about it, wanting the whole world to know she's pregnant, and even going to great lengths to curry favor with the Huo family. It's obvious how ridiculous it will be when the truth is finally revealed.
Xingxing didn't entirely believe Huo Nanxiao and remained skeptical about the matter.
Huo Yuan and Chu Chu didn't think that much about it.
As for Huo Xiuyuan, he was initially very angry, but after receiving a clear answer from Huo Nanxiao, his anger subsided considerably, and he changed his previous cold and hard attitude towards Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Xiuyuan said, "I can leave this matter to you to handle, but the joke we've made right now is too big. Even if I don't care, there are plenty of people outside who are talking about it behind my back. Ning Xi is working alone outside, and she can't help but be affected by these rumors."
"I know, I will send some bodyguards to her to protect her from outsiders," Huo Nanxiao promised.
Huo Xiuyuan snorted coldly and went upstairs, no longer caring about the matter.
The three little ones sat opposite Huo Nanxiao, happily eating their little cakes.
Chu Chu put two candies into her pocket and asked, "When are we going back? I haven't seen Mommy all day, I miss Mommy so much."
Huo Yuan stared at the small cake on the table: "This cake is so delicious, I want to bring it to Mommy."
Xingxing asked, "Daddy, how long will it take you to deal with this? If it's inconvenient for you, we can go back first."
“I will arrange for a private plane to take you home tonight,” Huo Nanxiao said.
She nodded, "That works too."
In the afternoon, Huo Nanxiao went to the company.
As he expected, a group of people had already gathered inside the company.
Aside from those who sought out Huo Nanxiao to discuss work, the rest were his group of mischievous friends who were just watching the show.
Ji Fei was almost full from drinking white tea. He sat in the VIP room looking around and couldn't help but complain, "Is Huo Nanxiao deliberately avoiding us?"
Fu Xiyu said, "He must be busy. Let's wait patiently."
Ji Feibai: "What's there to be busy about? The outside world is in complete chaos. If he really wanted to resolve things, he could just issue an announcement and everything would be fine."
Fu Xiyu said, "Things are not as simple as you think."
"Could it be that the child in Xia Luoluo's belly is really Nan Xiao's?" Ji Feibai's eyes widened.
Fu Xiyu's expression was solemn: "No, that's impossible. Nan Xiao doesn't like Xia Luoluo, so the child in Xia Luoluo's belly can't possibly be his. There must be some misunderstanding."
"What other misunderstanding could there be? The news of them being together half a month ago has already spread. If you count the time, Xia Luoluo's pregnancy now fits perfectly. Whose child could it be if not Nan Xiao's? You and I both know what kind of person Xia Luoluo is. She only wants to marry into a wealthy family."
After complaining, Ji Feibai continued, counting on his fingers, "Right now, all the wealthy families in the capital have seen through their family's true nature, and few of them look up to Xia Luoluo. She can only cling to Nan Xiao's coattails. Moreover, Xia Luoluo is quite good-looking and has a nice figure. Compared to Xia Wanwan, she is indeed much better."
Fu Xiyu retorted, "Stop comparing her to Wanwan. Wanwan is kind-hearted, a thousand times better than Xia Luoluo."
“I was talking about looks and figure, why are you so anxious? Xia Wanwan has been sick for so many years, she has indeed aged a lot, she looks much older, she really can’t compare to Xia Luoluo who takes good care of herself,” Ji Feibai continued.
Fu Xiyu was not happy. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed someone walking in their direction. Upon closer inspection, he saw that it was Huo Nanxiao. He immediately stood up.
Huo Nanxiao pushed open the door and entered, asking, "What brings you here today?"
Fu Xiyu said, "I'm asking about some things. It's all over the place now. What's going on between you and Xia Luoluo? I've never heard of you being interested in her before. Also, is the child in her belly yours?"
"What do you think?" Huo Nanxiao asked in return.
Fu Xiyu: "If I knew, I wouldn't have asked you. Does Wanwan know about this? She's not in good health and can't handle any stress."
"She brought Xia Luoluo to the Huo family today," Huo Nanxiao said calmly.
Ji Fei's eyes lit up: "So the child is real?"
"She is indeed pregnant," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Ji Feibai: "Yours?"
Huo Nanxiao did not answer; his silence at that moment was the answer itself.
Ji Feibai was overjoyed, unable to understand why Huo Nanxiao would fall for such a filthy woman as Xia Luoluo. He couldn't help but ask, "Are you blind? How could you even look at her? I think you've gone blind ever since you divorced Xia Ningxi. Xia Luoluo isn't even as beautiful as Mingyan."
"Why are you trying to put down my sister for no reason?" Fu Xiyu retorted angrily.
Ji Feibai said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that although Mingyan is arrogant and likes to bully others, at least she dares to take responsibility for her actions. Xia Luoluo is different. She's full of bad intentions and quite good at pretending. Even if you were blind, you might not be interested in Xia Luoluo. It's really strange that Nan Xiao is interested in her."
