Chapter 486 No Way to Marry into the Huo Family
Xia Wenhe said, "Mr. Huo, there's no need to get so angry with me. This is just a suggestion from me. You are also a father, so you should know my difficulties. Now everyone in the capital knows that Xia Wanwan is going to marry into the Huo family. If she can't do that, how will she survive in the capital in the future?"
"That's something you should consider, but you're right about one thing: Xia Wanwan has indeed done the Huo family a favor. You can name whatever benefits you want, whether it's money or business, it's all fine," Huo Xiuyuan said ruthlessly.
Aside from the position of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family, the Huo family can provide them with any amount of money and resources.
But Xia Wenhe was not satisfied.
Over the years, Huo Nanxiao has actually given the Xia family a lot.
If it weren't for Huo Nanxiao, the Xia family wouldn't have had the resources to rise to become a second-tier wealthy family in the capital city in just a few years.
But that's not enough. Only by becoming the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family can the Xia family's position be consolidated, allowing them to completely transcend social classes and enter the ranks of top-tier wealthy families. With the Huo family's status and formidable strength, as long as Xia Wanwan marries Huo Nanxiao, Xia Wenhe and his family will be able to roam freely in the capital city in the future!
This kind of unique benefit is not something that ordinary people can give!
"Young Master Huo, you agreed to this, so I think you're the most qualified to speak on it. I've come here today to find out your opinion." Xia Wenhe directly asked Huo Nanxiao for his opinion.
Anyway, there's no point in reasoning with Huo Xiuyuan. If Huo Nanxiao has any conscience at all, he should repay Xia Wanwan.
Huo Nanxiao had the housekeeper carry the three children upstairs.
Huo Xiuyuan snorted, "Why would you send the child upstairs? If you have the guts, say it in front of the child."
Huo Nanxiao: "These things have nothing to do with the child."
"It doesn't matter where it is?" Huo Xiuyuan questioned, and after saying that, he glared at the nanny who was about to take the children away.
The nannies didn't dare to move and immediately put the child down.
With the child present, Huo Nanxiao did not answer Xia Wenhe, but instead asked Xia Wenhe to leave first.
Xia Wenhe was reluctant, but he listened to Huo Nanxiao and went outside into the courtyard.
Huo Nanxiao followed him out, and it's unclear what they said outside the door. In the end, Xia Wenhe left with a livid face.
When Huo Nanxiao returned, he saw his family staring at him menacingly. No, except for Xia Ningxi, because that woman didn't even look at him; she had already sat down and was eating sunflower seeds.
The three little ones, however, were staring intently at him with their big, dark eyes, looking like they wanted to eat him alive.
This little dumpling is incredibly fierce.
"I've already sent him away, the three of you don't need to keep an eye on me anymore," Huo Nanxiao said in a deep voice.
Xingxing said, "Is Daddy planning to marry Xia Wanwan and abandon us?"
Huo Yuan asked pitifully, "Daddy, is this true?"
Chu Chu: "Then let Grandpa kick him out, and we'll inherit his estate."
Huo Nanxiao was both amused and exasperated. He really didn't know what to say, especially about this little girl, Chu Chu. She was either hoping for his death to inherit his estate or on her way to his death. Was this little girl really his biological daughter?
It seems that it's still necessary to keep children by your side. Otherwise, it's not good to just wait for yourself to pass away and inherit the family fortune, like Chu Chu did.
No matter what the children said, Huo Nanxiao didn't take it to heart. He really liked these three children and couldn't bring himself to hurt them.
“I will handle this matter,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Xingxing asked cautiously, "Does Daddy mean he won't abandon us?"
Huo Nanxiao nodded: "Yes, no, don't worry."
This sentence reassured the three children, and they weren't so angry anymore.
As for Xia Ningxi, she was very puzzled.
Dinner was at the Huo family's house. They didn't go back to Lanyuan tonight, but stayed overnight at the Huo family's old house because Grandpa Huo wanted to play with the three little ones and insisted on keeping them there. He had already taken the children downstairs to catch fish.
After taking the medicine, Xia Ningxi went straight back to her room, pulled the covers over herself, and prepared to sleep.
The door creaked open.
Someone has come in.
Xia Ningxi looked curiously toward the doorway and saw a blurry black figure, but from that tall figure she could vaguely make out that it was Huo Nanxiao. Why was he here?
Xia Ningxi was surprised and blinked her beautiful big eyes.
The man walked very lightly, making almost no sound as he entered, as if afraid of being overheard. He suddenly stopped when he reached the bedside.
Xia Ningxi held her breath, very nervous. What was this guy doing sneaking in so late at night? He was so strange!
Could it be that he disliked her presence because she was blocking Xia Wanwan's way, and wanted to silence her? No way, they had shared a bed for two years, Huo Nanxiao wouldn't be so heartless, would he?
Xia Ningxi's heart was pounding in her throat. She didn't dare to speak, keeping her eyes tightly closed, but she was curious about what this guy was up to!
Whoosh—
With a very soft sound, the man sat down beside her.
Xia Ningxi became even more nervous.
She tensed up, afraid to move.
Suddenly, the man's cold hand covered her forehead. Xia Ningxi froze, and she didn't move.
"She still has a slight fever," Huo Nanxiao said softly, placing a cool fever-reducing patch on Xia Ningxi's forehead.
He moved very, very quietly, probably because he didn't want to wake himself up.
Xia Ningxi was not asleep. Huo Nanxiao's small gesture stirred up huge waves in her heart because Huo Nanxiao had never cared about her like this before. Even when she was sick, Huo Nanxiao knew that he would not care, and Xia Ningxi always endured it alone.
She didn't understand why Huo Nanxiao was doing this.
She dared not move, letting the man stroke her forehead.
The moonlight outside the window was bright and clear, filtering through the dense leaves and scattering across the windowsill. A few rays of moonlight fell on the headboard, making Xia Ningxi's beautiful face look even more stunning.
Huo Nanxiao rarely looked at Xia Ningxi's face so closely. To be honest, she was really beautiful, the kind of beauty that was extremely stunning. Even someone like him, who was used to seeing all kinds of gorgeous women, couldn't help but be amazed.
If you count the time, she has been married to him for six years.
Huo Nanxiao said, "I know you're not asleep."
The girl on the bed froze, her whole body going numb.
Huo Nanxiao: "Let's talk."
Xia Ningxi's breath caught in her throat. It turned out he knew everything.
She desperately wanted to fall asleep and pretend she hadn't heard anything, but she couldn't.
"Is there something you need?" Xia Ningxi opened her eyes, looking at Huo Nanxiao with sleepy eyes, and asked in a feigned tired manner.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Wanwan's matter deserves an explanation."
Xia Ningxi felt a deep sadness in her heart. She bit her lip, turned her back to Huo Nanxiao, and said, "This is your business. Do whatever you want."
"What would you do if I didn't get a divorce?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
