Chapter 181 Let Me Go
Xia Luoluo stood in the crowd, utterly humiliated, yet powerless to do anything. She was like a rat in the street, despised by everyone.
But Huo Nanxiao didn't care about any of that; he only had eyes for Xia Ningxi.
Watching Huo Nanxiao's indifferent back, Xia Luoluo's fists clenched tighter and tighter.
Xia Ningxi sensed a distinct killing intent. Curious, she looked in the direction of the light and saw Xia Luolu staring at her fiercely.
Xia Ningxi raised an eyebrow. Is Xia Luoluo sick?
Why are you staring at her like that?
Wasn't Xia Luoluo's fate the result of her own actions?
Xia Ningxi ignored Xia Luoluo because she saw Xia Xingxing pulling Huo Nanxiao over.
Looking at the man who had suddenly appeared here, Xia Ningxi felt that Huo Nanxiao was somewhat superfluous and asked, "Has Young Master Huo taken care of his own affairs?"
"It's all taken care of," Huo Nanxiao replied coldly.
Xia Ningxi simply said "oh" and then fell silent.
"Big brother, it's been a long time." Huo Jinchuan greeted Huo Nanxiao with a smile.
Huo Nanxiao asked expressionlessly, "What are you doing here?"
"Of course, I'll be with Xixi," Huo Jinchuan replied.
Huo Nanxiao said, "She doesn't need you to accompany her."
Huo Jinchuan replied with a smile, "Brother, instead of wasting your time, you should think about how to end this today. Everyone in the banquet hall is speculating about your relationship with Xia Wanwan. For the sake of the Huo family's reputation, it would be best if you kept your distance from Xixi and avoided any misunderstandings."
"My affairs are none of your business," Huo Nanxiao replied coldly, his sharp gaze falling on Xia Ningxi. "Get up."
Xia Ningxi reluctantly stood up from her seat.
She wondered what had gotten into Huo Nanxiao's head, when the man grabbed her wrist the next second.
Xia Ningxi was taken aback.
Before she could react, Huo Nanxiao had already angrily pulled her to his side.
Caught off guard, Xia Ningxi bumped into Huo Nanxiao's arms, burying her face firmly in his chest. Feeling the man's body heat, her cheeks flushed instantly.
Those around gasped in surprise at the sight.
Noticing that many people were watching her, Xia Ningxi broke free from Huo Nanxiao's grip on her wrist and tried to create some distance between them. However, Huo Nanxiao forcefully grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
Xia Ningxi blushed with embarrassment.
What is Huo Nanxiao doing?!
Doesn't he know that many people are watching?
Xia Ningxi was completely flustered, and her ears quickly turned red.
She lowered her voice: "Huo Nanxiao, this is a public place, what are you doing?"
Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes and asked coldly, "You want to go with Huo Jinchuan?"
Xia Ningxi's lips twitched: "When did I say I was going to leave with him?"
"Then why are you sitting with him?" Huo Nanxiao asked back.
Xia Ningxi's face darkened. She simply found a place to sit down. Huo Jinchuan had come to find her himself; what did it have to do with her?
Is Huo Nanxiao angry about this?
"Is there a problem?" Xia Ningxi asked angrily.
Huo Nanxiao said, "You are now my personal doctor. Your job and responsibility is to take good care of Huo Yuan, not to flirt with some men here."
Huo Jinchuan said, "Brother, Xixi and I are a proper boyfriend and girlfriend. Father knows about this. Don't scare Xixi, she's timid."
As he said this, Huo Jinchuan stood up, walked to Xia Ningxi's side, grabbed Xia Ningxi's other hand, and prepared to pull Xia Ningxi out of Huo Nanxiao's arms.
Huo Nanxiao narrowed his eyes dangerously.
Just as Huo Nanxiao was about to lose his temper, Duan Rongrong ran up and said, "Young Master Huo, hello, may I invite you to dance?"
Duan Rongrong looked on expectantly, unaware that her words would only make the already awkward situation even more awkward.
Huo Nanxiao glared at Duan Rongrong, his icy aura almost capable of swallowing a person whole.
Duan Rongrong was so frightened that she trembled all over.
But Xia Ningxi saw Duan Rongrong's appearance as if she had grasped a lifeline, and quickly answered for Huo Nanxiao: "Yes, Young Master Huo, you can go."
Before Huo Nanxiao could speak, Xia Ningxi was already very anxious and tried to break free from Huo Nanxiao's large hand.
Huo Nanxiao parted his thin lips slightly: "Did I say I was going?"
With a wave of his hand, he pulled Xia Ningxi, who was trying to escape, into his arms.
Duan Rongrong, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Huo Shao was actually holding Xia Ningxi? Why was Huo Shao holding her?
Duan Rongrong was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Xia Ningxi was extremely embarrassed: "Let go of me! So many people are watching!"
"So what if I'm looking? Is there a problem?" Huo Nanxiao retorted.
Xia Ningxi got angry: "Of course there's a problem, a huge problem!"
Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly, his large hand tightly gripping Xia Ningxi's slender waist, domineeringly trapping her in his arms without any restraint.
Huo Jinchuan said coldly, "Brother, you have a wife. It wouldn't be good if outsiders saw this."
"My affairs are none of your business," Huo Nanxiao said coldly.
Huo Jinchuan said, "I don't want to get involved in my brother's affairs either, but the Huo family is a prestigious family in the capital. My brother is married and is still entangled with other women in public. It's not just you who's losing face, but the entire Huo family. Does my brother want to bring shame to the whole Huo family?"
A hint of murderous intent emanated from them.
Caught in the middle, Xia Ningxi was in a real bind. She wanted to keep her distance from Huo Nanxiao, but he wouldn't give her the chance. No matter how much Xia Ningxi struggled, it was no use. She tried her best but couldn't break free from Huo Nanxiao's embrace.
More and more people are looking this way.
If they couldn't tell that Huo Nanxiao was protecting Xia Ningxi earlier, they wouldn't believe it if Huo Nanxiao now took the initiative to pull Xia Ningxi into his arms. They simply couldn't believe that the two of them were unrelated.
A group of people discussed among themselves: "No wonder Young Master Huo was so ruthless to Xia Luoluo. It turns out that Young Master Huo really likes Xia Ningxi."
"But isn't Young Master Huo already married?"
"Isn't he afraid that the Xia family will object to him doing this?"
"Xia Luoluo probably disliked Xia Ningxi because of this incident, so she probably plotted to frame Xia Ningxi, right? But she's too stupid. How could she do such a thing? Now she's tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead."
Everyone shook their heads, and at this moment they even felt a little sympathy for Xia Luoluo.
Xia Luoluo bit her lip, knowing that she was powerless to do anything about Xia Ningxi at this moment. Even if Xia Ningxi was entangled with Huo Nanxiao, she had no right to criticize Xia Ningxi in any way.
Xia Luoluo was unwilling, but dared not offend the Fu family, so she could only bite the bullet and walk out, intending to go to the hospital to apologize to the two elders of the Fu family in person.
Just as Xia Luoluo was about to walk to the door, she saw Xia Wenhe rushing over in a flurry.
