Chapter 976 You really dare to dream.
His gaze was so intense that it made Xia Ningxi feel somewhat uncomfortable.
She didn't know why Huo Nanxiao was looking at her like that, but she felt that he was hiding something in his heart, which must be related to Xia Wanwan.
The only person who could make Huo Nanxiao so conflicted was Xia Wanwan.
Thinking of this, Xia Ningxi said, "I know you're upset. Dragging this out isn't good for anyone. Maybe you could talk to Xia Wanwan and explain things to her. She's in poor health and is being ostracized by the Xia family, so she probably won't have an easy time."
"There's nothing to say between her and me," Huo Nanxiao said calmly.
Xia Ningxi said, "You can't make promises you can't keep."
"I will divorce her after a while," Huo Nanxiao said firmly.
Xia Ningxi frowned, her expression complex as she met Huo Nanxiao's eyes, and asked, "You know she can't let you go, yet you still want a divorce. Why?"
“You know it in your heart,” Huo Nanxiao said.
Xia Ningxi was speechless. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.
Could it be that Huo Nanxiao did it because of her?
But they've been divorced for a long time. So what if they have a child? Her relationship with Huo Nanxiao has been settled long ago, and she hasn't refused Huo Nanxiao visitation rights. He's now a free man.
Xia Ningxi chuckled: "No wonder the Xia family has always been hostile towards me. It's no wonder they're angry that you treated Xia Wanwan like that. I know you're fickle. You want Xia Wanwan to have a happy and respected life, and you also want me to be your partner and have a happy family. But there's no such thing as a perfect match in this world."
We're divorced. The past is the past. There's no need to keep entangled. I no longer have the feelings I once had for you. Letting me go is also letting yourself go.
Her voice was clear and pleasant, yet powerful; every word she uttered clearly defined her boundaries.
This is also what makes her different from Xia Wanwan.
Huo Nanxiao once felt great pity for Xia Wanwan. He felt sorry for her serious illness, for her being bedridden for years, and for her being weak, unable to take care of herself, and being bullied. Therefore, Huo Nanxiao wanted to protect Xia Wanwan and give her a stable home.
Yet this seemingly weak and helpless person, when faced with a major issue, did not think of handling matters impartially, but instead used her advantages to suppress the matter and protect her despicable family members.
The Xia family has committed so many evil deeds. Xia Wanwan speaks of repentance, but she has pleaded for her family members countless times. If she hadn't protected her family so much, such a huge scandal wouldn't have happened, Zhou Fenglin wouldn't have been so audacious as to kill someone with his car, and Xia Wanwan wouldn't have lost a kidney as a result.
In some mysterious way, it seems that she brought everything upon herself.
If it's impossible for Xia Wanwan, then she does seem quite pitiful.
However, Xia Wanwan's protection of her family, even to the point of being unreasonable, gradually made Huo Nanxiao feel disgusted with her, which is why Huo Nanxiao never went to see Xia Wanwan.
Despite the magnitude of the incident, Huo Nanxiao didn't even consider explaining to Xia Wanwan, because he knew that no matter what the two said or did, Xia Wanwan would unconditionally protect Xia Luoluo in the end.
Now that we know the result, there's nothing more to say.
Huo Nanxiao knew that Xia Ningxi no longer believed him. He didn't offer any explanation, but quietly held Xia Ningxi in his arms, his gaze fixed on the computer, his fingers tapping the keyboard to reply to the emails that had been piling up in his inbox for a long time.
During this time, he received many strange phone calls. At first, Huo Nanxiao would answer them, but after learning that they were all asking for Xia Luoluo's phone number, he hung up without hesitation, and his expression turned ugly.
In the end, Huo Nanxiao even turned off his phone.
Xia Ningxi found it quite amusing and couldn't help but tease him: "It seems quite a few people are paying attention to your affairs. This matter can't be suppressed. I suggest you have a good talk with Xia Luoluo."
"Will it work?" Huo Nanxiao asked back.
Xia Ningxi thought about it carefully: "It seems useless."
“Since it’s useless, what’s the point of talking?” He lowered his head and met Xia Ningxi’s gaze. “I do have a solution. You can take a few days off and stay in the capital. Over time, the rumors outside will naturally disappear.”
Xia Ningxi was so angry she laughed. "You really dare to think that I should stay in the capital and be with you to shut up the gossip? I'm divorced from you. If I really stay here, Xia Luoluo will come with her people tomorrow. She's counting on the baby in her belly to help her become a wealthy socialite."
"She can't get into the Huo family," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at him: "Then I won't get involved in your messy affairs."
"Alright, you can stay with the child for the next two days," Huo Nanxiao said.
Taking advantage of his inattention, Xia Ningxi broke free from his embrace and said, "Go ahead and do your work. I'm going to spend time with the kids."
She left with just one sentence and flew away.
Huo Nanxiao did not try to stop her, knowing that Xia Ningxi still harbored resentment towards him.
Huo Nanxiao still had a lot of things to deal with at the company, and Xia Luoluo, that troublesome girl, was constantly causing trouble outside, bringing him a lot of problems.
What gives Huo Nanxiao even more of a headache is Xia Wenhe. He's incredibly arrogant now, relying on the fact that Xia Luoluo is carrying a "dragon seed" in her belly, using Huo Nanxiao's name to monopolize a lot of business outside, and even accepting a lot of benefits from others.
These matters were all investigated by Ye Su outside, and the evidence is conclusive.
If the scandal breaks, Xia Wenhe will face huge compensation claims.
The last time the Xia family went bankrupt was because Xia Wenhe acted recklessly outside, but he didn't learn his lesson. This time he used the same trick to raise funds, and he might even go to jail.
Previously, Huo Nanxiao intervened entirely out of respect for Xia Wanwan, but now that Xia Wanwan's influence has been exhausted, Huo Nanxiao cannot continue to indulge her.
There was a commotion downstairs. Huo Nanxiao went to the window and looked down to find three children chasing and playing in the garden. Chu Chu had knocked over a vase, and the little girl was sitting on the ground crying pitifully, which was heartbreaking to see.
Fortunately, her two older brothers came to comfort her immediately. After crying for a while, Chu Chu realized she was a little embarrassed and could only silently wipe away her tears and get up from the ground. She looked very stubborn, which was heartbreaking to see.
This is his child, Huo Nanxiao knows it better than anyone else.
He turned to go downstairs, but then he heard a video call coming from the computer. It was Xia Wanwan calling. Huo Nanxiao's face darkened. Although he was not happy, he still answered the video call she sent.
Looking at the woman on the other end of the computer, she still looked the same as when she was young, except that she was more haggard and thin than before, and her sickly face only showed a pitiful look.
Even so, Huo Nanxiao could not let his guard down around her; he knew she had come prepared.
"What is it?" Huo Nanxiao's voice was extremely cold.
The overly cold voice made Xia Wanwan very uncomfortable, and she felt very upset.
