Chapter 904 He's secretly dating you behind my back
Xia Wanwan was trembling with fear, and she didn't even dare to think further about what Huo Nanxiao was saying.
She was afraid that Huo Nanxiao would ask for a divorce.
These two words are what she fears hearing most right now.
"You're a smart person, there are some things I shouldn't say." Huo Nanxiao chose to save her some face.
A mist clouded Xia Wanwan's eyes. She took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and said, word by word, "Do you want a divorce? We've only been married for a few months. Do you really want a divorce right now?"
Huo Nanxiao: "I'm giving you a choice: to start over or maintain the status quo. The decision is yours."
After leaving a message, Huo Nanxiao went upstairs.
Xia Wanwan slumped to the ground, feeling utterly drained of all her strength. She silently watched Huo Nanxiao's departing figure, tears streaming down her face.
So, she is destined to spend her life alone guarding this empty house?
Is she destined to never get what she wants in this lifetime?
What use would Huo Nanxiao have for marrying her?
She chose to marry Huo Nanxiao because she loved him so much.
Now, the whole world knows that she used any means necessary to drive Xia Ningxi away. Everyone thought that Xia Wanwan would live the life of a wealthy family that everyone dreamed of, but in fact, she didn't.
Xia Wanwan didn't even know what the meaning of her existence was.
Outsiders admire her, but they have no idea what kind of life she leads at home.
She cried downstairs all night.
Huo Nanxiao could see all of this from the surveillance footage, and he suddenly regretted coming back; he should have stayed at the company.
That evening, Huo Nanxiao packed up all the important data and left the villa early the next morning.
In the days that followed, Huo Nanxiao lived at the company. When Xia Wanwan sent him messages, he would give perfunctory replies. She could only see Huo Nanxiao if she came to the company in person.
But it was only a one-time meeting. All sorts of things would get in Huo Nanxiao's way, preventing him from entertaining Xia Wanwan.
As a result, Xia Wanwan became a mere decoration in the company.
Ye Su respected Xia Wanwan very much and took great care of her every time she came, but it was extremely difficult for Xia Wanwan to get any information out of Ye Su.
Ye Su also understood that Xia Wanwan was unhappy with her life and could only come to the company to seek a sense of existence. She also realized that Huo Nanxiao was only now realizing that Xia Wanwan was annoying and was deliberately ignoring her.
He refused Xia Wanwan's suggestion to come home every day under the pretext of work, and didn't even have time to have dinner with her. However, he had time to go to the mall to buy all kinds of children's toys and personally deliver them to Xia Ningxi's home.
Huo Nanxiao would also send Ye Su to various places in Lingcheng to buy all sorts of strange and unusual delicacies and deliver them to the laboratory so that Xia Ningxi could try something new.
In the past, Xia Ningxi would never have had such good fortune.
Ye Su thought Huo Nanxiao had gone mad, but compared to Xia Wanwan, Xia Ningxi was more outstanding, so she was very willing to do this.
But Xia Ningxi, who received all sorts of gifts, was in a dilemma.
Right now, everyone on the team knows that the Ling family is sponsoring them unconditionally because of Xia Ningxi, and Xia Ningxi has a close relationship with Ling Xiao. Huo Nanxiao is always trying to curry favor with her. What will happen if Ling Xiao finds out?
Tang En had to prepare for a retreat in advance, and at the same time reminded Xia Ningxi to balance her relationship with the Ling family.
Tang En said, "Huo Nanxiao sends things over every few days. Ling Xiao will definitely hear about it. Won't he be angry?"
“We haven’t been in touch recently,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Don was surprised: "He's not looking for you?"
"No, I heard he's working on a big project abroad and hasn't been back to China for a long time," Xia Ningxi replied.
Tang En breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Your relationship with Ling Xiao has been quite a hot topic in Lingcheng. You should keep your distance from Huo Nanxiao. If people see you getting too close to another man, Ling Xiao will lose face."
"Don't worry, I haven't been close to any other men lately, except for you guys," Xia Ningxi assured her.
Don smiled and said, "It's good that you know what's going on."
"Let's go grab some coffee after get off work, it's on me," Xia Ningxi suggested.
Don raised an eyebrow: "You're so generous?"
"Who do you think you are?" Xia Ningxi snorted, then turned to her colleagues in the lab and said, "Let's all go have afternoon tea, it's on me."
"Great!" the colleagues exclaimed in unison, overjoyed.
Several close colleagues jokingly teased her, "Did President Ling pay salaries today? He's being so generous."
Xia Ningxi said, "My salary is all paid by Tang En."
Colleague: "President Ling hasn't been to our lab in a long time. Does this mean he doesn't want to fund us anymore?"
Xia Ningxi: "Who knows? After we finish the project in Lingcheng, we can go back to Desla. Anyway, we have our own laboratory, so it's convenient to go anywhere."
Colleague: "That's not our focus. Huo Nanxiao is sending you gifts every day. Is President Ling angry?"
Xia Ningxi: "Stop gossiping."
Her colleagues joked, "You can't be two-timing; that's unethical."
Xia Ningxi was both amused and exasperated; no matter how she explained, no one believed her.
Even worse, after they came out of the laboratory, they ran into Li Yancheng, who was standing outside the door with two bodyguards behind him, one carrying a gift box and the other holding flowers, blocking the doorway.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi had a vague sense of unease, and she instinctively hid behind Tang En.
"Why are you hiding? I'm looking for you." Li Yancheng saw Xia Ningxi's embarrassment and pointed her out without any politeness.
He glanced at the bodyguard, who was holding flowers. The bodyguard walked straight towards Xia Ningxi and forcefully stuffed the flowers into her arms.
The colleagues couldn't help but blink.
Ellie: "I didn't expect you to be juggling three relationships at the same time."
Xia Ningxi's lips twitched. "That's not true."
Ellie: "I've already given you the flowers, and you're still cheating on me with three men at once."
Xia Ningxi was embarrassed. How could she have known that Li Yancheng would come? How could she have imagined that Li Yancheng would suddenly pull such a stunt?
“Come with me,” Xia Ningxi said to Li Yancheng.
Li Yancheng smiled and said, "Aren't you going to get some coffee? It's on me."
"How did you know?" Xia Ningxi frowned.
Li Yancheng: "I heard it just now."
He walked past Xia Ningxi and said with a smile to her colleagues behind her, "I'll pay for everything today."
"Yao Qing, take everyone to the coffee shop."
After giving all the instructions, Li Yancheng looked at Xia Ningxi and said, "I've only been abroad for a few days and you've already caused such a commotion. I really underestimated you."
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Li Yancheng said, "I heard that Ling Xiao is arranging your wedding. How come I didn't know about something so important?"
"Where did you hear that from?" Xia Ningxi frowned.
Li Yancheng: "I'm monitoring Ling Xiao, so of course I know what he's doing."
Xia Ningxi was speechless: "If Ling Xiao finds out, he'll skin you alive."
Li Yancheng shrugged indifferently: "So what if he knows? I can monitor him with my own abilities, and he can monitor me if he's capable."
Xia Ningxi suddenly didn't know what to say to him, because what he said did make sense.
She asked, "Aren't you two partners? Why do I get the feeling that you really dislike Ling Xiao now? Or am I just imagining things?"
“You’re not wrong. I really hate him. After all, he’s been secretly dating you behind my back.” Li Yancheng’s back teeth were clenched.
