Chapter 619 Wash it properly
Han Musen found it strange: "Huo Nanxiao used to treat Xia Wanwan very well, so why has he suddenly stopped caring about her lately? Could it be that he found out something?"
“He couldn’t possibly know anything.” Li Yancheng sneered; he was confident of that.
However, Huo Nanxiao's attitude towards Xia Wanwan did become much colder, while his attitude towards Xia Ningxi changed considerably.
After their last meeting, Li Yancheng had a showdown with Huo Nanxiao. He thought Huo Nanxiao would divorce Xia Ningxi in a fit of anger and marry Xia Wanwan despite all the pressure in order to make up for what he owed her.
Reality, however, greatly surprised Li Yancheng.
He sent people to investigate, and it was confirmed that Ou Nanxiao had indeed brought Xia Ningxi back to Lanyuan; while Xia Wanwan was also confined to the Xia family home and not allowed to leave.
Thinking of this, Li Yancheng suddenly became more suspicious. Could it be that Huo Nanxiao really found something out of him?
Li Yancheng felt a vague unease in his heart.
Han Musen asked, "What exactly is your attitude towards Xia Ningxi?"
"Why are you asking this?" Li Yancheng asked, displeased.
Han Musen said, "If we're going to take action, innocent people will inevitably get hurt."
“You injured Xia Wanwan, I have no objection,” Li Yancheng replied.
Han Musen's lips twitched: "Isn't that just stating the obvious?"
“Xia Ningxi is the chief physician of the capital city. Do you want to kill her? I think you’re tired of living.” Li Yancheng said with dissatisfaction.
Han Musen didn't care at all: "To put it bluntly, you just can't bear to let me lay a hand on Xia Ningxi. Why make up so many excuses? I'm not stupid, but as long as this woman stays by Huo Nanxiao's side, she will definitely be a problem. If you don't want me to touch her, you have to make her behave herself."
“Xia Ningxi is injured and will likely be recuperating at Lanyuan for the time being, so she won’t be a problem for you,” Li Yancheng replied.
Han Musen sneered: "I think I've figured it out. You can't always tell the truth. You seem to care about Xia Ningxi, but you actually care about her more than anyone else. You're getting close to her because of Huo Nanxiao, or are you really interested in Xia Ningxi? You should let me know what you're thinking."
"I have no idea." Li Yancheng said expressionlessly.
"Alright, I get it." Han Musen was quite speechless. Although Li Yancheng didn't admit it, he already knew in his heart that this guy was interested in Xia Ningxi. He couldn't understand whether this guy had masochistic tendencies or not. Didn't he know who Xia Ningxi was? He almost died at Xia Ningxi's hands back then.
The two did not talk much about this matter.
Helian Jue's progress has been slow due to Han Musen's obstruction.
Huo Nanxiao waited for several days but did not receive any news from Helian Jue. Instead, he heard that the Li family had upgraded their internal system, making it impossible for hackers to intrude, probably because they had noticed that someone was monitoring them.
Since there were no results, Huo Nanxiao didn't ask any further questions.
In the past few days, the Xia family has been calling Huo Nanxiao and even went to Huo Nanxiao's company to demand an explanation from him. Because Huo Xiuyuan had explicitly forbidden Xia Wanwan from going out, Xia Wanwan has not dared to show her face in the past few days.
Xia Wenhe and Zhou Fenglin were dissatisfied. Their daughter was Huo Nanxiao's fiancée and the future eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family. Why was Huo Xiuyuan so domineering?
They believed that Huo Nanxiao had failed to handle the conflict with Huo Xiuyuan properly, which was why he took his anger out on Xia Wanwan.
But after arriving at the company several times, they still couldn't see Huo Nanxiao, so they could only keep calling him.
The cell phone was ringing, its sound echoing throughout the entire villa.
Huo Nanxiao, however, paid no attention and sat quietly in the courtyard, flipping through the documents. Aunt Zhang couldn't help but say, "Young Master Huo, the phone is ringing."
Huo Nanxiao ignored him.
Aunt Zhang added, "The young mistress is resting. If it keeps making that noise, it will disturb her."
Huo Nanxiao, who had been silent all along, finally looked up, glanced at the phone number on his phone, and habitually blocked it.
Aunt Zhang asked cautiously, "Young Master Huo, why have you been receiving so many calls from unknown numbers lately?"
"It's a call from the Xia family," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Aunt Zhang immediately understood what was going on and whispered, "The master has already reminded them, how can the Xia family still be so insensible? Don't they know that continuing to make trouble like this will only anger the master?"
Huo Nanxiao remained silent, his expression complex and difficult to decipher.
Aunt Zhang said, "Miss Wanwan is so kind and sensible, she should understand this principle. Letting her parents make such a fuss shows that she doesn't take the master's words to heart. Isn't she deliberately trying to make things difficult for Young Master Huo? If something really happens, wouldn't it be Young Master Huo who has to clean up the mess? The Xia family is really quite unreasonable."
She kept her tone low, not wanting to offend Huo Nanxiao, nor daring to speak ill of Xia Wanwan loudly, but she still had the ability to be sarcastic and sarcastic.
In the entire Lanyuan community, there were very few people who would even consider Xia Wanwan's family a good match.
In their minds, so what if Xia Wanwan saved Huo Nanxiao's life? Destroying the young mistress's marriage was wrong.
No matter how many reasons or excuses Xia Wanwan has, it won't change people's opinions of her.
Huo Nanxiao knew that no one in his family liked Xia Wanwan, so he turned off his phone and asked Zhang Sao, "Is the young mistress awake?"
"Not yet. She took her medicine last night and has been sleeping ever since," Aunt Zhang shook her head.
Huo Nanxiao put down the file in his hand, got up and went upstairs.
The door to the master bedroom was open, as if someone had been inside. Huo Nanxiao walked into the room, which was empty except for Xia Ningxi, who was sleeping quietly on the bed, and an adorable tiger plush toy placed by the bedside. It was unclear which child had left it there.
Huo Nanxiao walked over, picked up the little tiger doll that was about to fall, lifted the blanket and put it back in, letting it sleep next to Xia Ningxi.
But this subtle action startled Xia Ningxi awake. She opened her eyes abruptly and fixed her gaze on the hand that Huo Nanxiao was holding the little tiger.
"Good morning," Huo Nanxiao greeted softly.
After realizing what was happening, Xia Ningxi cautiously took a step back, grabbed the blanket, and sat up in bed. "What time is it?"
"11 a.m.," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Ningxi exclaimed in surprise, "It's already noon!"
"Are you hungry? What would you like to eat? The kitchen has prepared some nourishing porridge and some easily digestible dishes, all of which are your favorites," Huo Nanxiao said.
"What do I like to eat?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Huo Nanxiao fell silent.
Knowing that Huo Nanxiao couldn't answer, she threw off the covers and got out of bed.
Her head was still very uncomfortable, and she wasn't walking very steadily, but she could move around freely. After putting on her shoes, she held onto the wall and prepared to go to the bathroom to brush her teeth and wash up.
Huo Nanxiao went up to her and helped her up.
"No need, I can manage on my own," Xia Ningxi refused.
Huo Nanxiao had already put his arm around her waist, and in a flash, he picked Xia Ningxi up and carried her into the bathroom. He put her down and stood by, watching her. "Take a good shower. I'll carry you downstairs in a bit."
