Chapter 418 Male Mistress
Xia Ningxi's words silenced Huo Nanxiao. He didn't explain, but his hands didn't stop moving at all. He carefully applied medicine to Xia Ningxi, not missing any injured area.
The man's movements were very gentle, but Xia Ningxi could still feel the pain. She bit her lip and endured it, not daring to make a sound. By the time Huo Nanxiao finished applying the medicine, she was already sweating profusely from the pain.
"Thank you," Xia Ningxi said politely, pulling the blanket over herself.
Huo Nanxiao lowered his head and stared intently at her weak face. Perhaps it was because of shyness, but her face was flushed, like a ripe red apple. Her body temperature was very high, which Huo Nanxiao had noticed when he was applying medicine to Xia Ningxi earlier.
The girl was very sleepy and was about to fall asleep while hugging her blanket.
Huo Nanxiao, as if possessed, threw off the covers and got into bed.
"What are you doing up here?" Xia Ningxi woke up instantly.
Huo Nanxiao said, "My bed is occupied by the child, so I'll sleep here tonight."
"?" Xia Ningxi blinked in confusion: "Aren't they resting in the guest room?"
"I'm sleepy, I don't want to leave."
Huo Nanxiao remained completely calm, without even blinking.
"Then I'll go sleep next door." Xia Ningxi prepared to get up.
Snap—
The lights suddenly went out.
Huo Nanxiao was quite decisive; he simply turned off the lights, plunging the surroundings into darkness.
"Go to sleep." The man coldly uttered these words, then closed his eyes while holding Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi's heart and body beat faster. She pushed Huo Nanxiao twice, but accidentally aggravated the wound on her shoulder. Xia Ningxi groaned softly in pain, and tears welled up uncontrollably. The pain made Xia Ningxi feel terrible.
"Serves you right." Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly.
Xia Ningxi said, "Do you have any conscience?"
Huo Nanxiao said, "Go to sleep obediently."
Xia Ningxi was indeed in pain and didn't have the strength to argue with Huo Nanxiao. She weakly shifted her body, hugged her pillow, curled up in the corner, and fell asleep.
Her body temperature was very high, and the temperature inside the blankets was also unusually hot.
"Xia Ningxi, do you have a fever?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
There was no response.
He turned around and saw that Xia Ningxi had closed her eyes. He reached out and touched the woman's forehead. The burning heat startled him, and he frowned. He quickly turned on the night light and found that Xia Ningxi was drenched in sweat.
Her soft body was like a small furnace, steaming hot, and her clothes were completely soaked.
Huo Nanxiao was in a state of confusion, so he picked up Xia Ningxi and walked out.
"Young Master Huo, what's wrong with the young mistress?" The butler asked hurriedly when he saw Huo Nanxiao rushing out carrying Xia Ningxi.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Prepare the car, let's go to the hospital."
The housekeeper noticed that Xia Ningxi's expression was off and, without the slightest hesitation, immediately ran to prepare the car.
Huo Nanxiao practically sped all the way to the hospital.
The dean personally led a group of people to wait at the main gate. When Huo Nanxiao's car stopped, the dean and several doctors quickly went forward, thinking that Xia Wanwan was unwell, which frightened them quite a bit. But when the dean saw that the person Huo Nanxiao was holding in his arms was Xia Ningxi, his brain froze for a moment.
Why would Young Master Huo bring Xia Ningxi to the hospital?
Shouldn't he always be with Xia Wanwan?
"Quickly, save her!" Huo Nanxiao shouted.
The hospital director was brought back to his senses by the angry roar. He quickly said to the doctor next to him, "What are you all standing there for? Take the patient in for examination right away."
Several doctors were so frightened that they quickly took Xia Ningxi into the hospital.
After a thorough examination, it was discovered that Xia Ningxi had injuries on her body, and the wounds had become inflamed and infected, which caused her persistent high fever. The doctor immediately began to treat Xia Ningxi.
It's unclear who told Tang En that Xia Ningxi had come to the hospital, but upon hearing the news, he rushed to the hospital immediately. He saw Huo Nanxiao waiting outside the treatment room and went over to him.
"Where is Ning Xi?" Tang En asked.
Huo Nanxiao frowned: "What are you doing here?"
"Of course I came to see her," Don said without hesitation.
Huo Nanxiao's handsome face instantly changed color.
Tang En didn't care whether Huo Nanxiao was angry or not, and pushed open the door of the treatment room and went in.
The doctor inside was very respectful when he saw that it was Don, saying, "Dr. Don."
"How is she?" Don asked worriedly.
The doctor said, "The wound is infected. It was just sent for an X-ray, and the results aren't back yet. The fever is high right now, so we can only try to bring it down first."
Tang En examined Xia Ningxi's shoulder injury and saw that half of her shoulder was swollen and her complexion was not good.
After leaving the treatment room, Tang En saw that Huo Nanxiao had not left yet, and he was very unhappy.
"How is she?" Huo Nanxiao strode forward.
"Why does she have injuries?" Don asked.
"I fell," Huo Nanxiao replied.
Don said, "You're the one who caused this?"
Huo Nanxiao's handsome face darkened. "What do you mean?"
"Where did she go and get such a serious injury? The only possibility is that it has something to do with you, Young Master Huo. Although it's none of my business to do your thing, she's my friend and the most important person to me. She's so badly injured, I have reason to suspect you."
Don's attitude was tough, and he exuded an indescribable hostility.
At this moment, he had a great deal of resentment towards Huo Nanxiao.
It seems that as long as Huo Nanxiao dares to admit that Xia Ningxi's injuries were caused by him, Tang En will not hesitate to raise his fist and attack Huo Nanxiao.
Huo Nanxiao said expressionlessly, "This is a matter between my husband and me, and it has nothing to do with you."
"Don't you already have Xia Wanwan?" Tang En sneered.
Huo Nanxiao said, "As long as I haven't gotten a divorce certificate with Xia Ningxi, she will still be my wife."
"Young Master Huo is truly shameless. Humph, let me tell you, you'd better make sure she's alright, otherwise if the Ling family finds out, the Huo family will be in big trouble," Tang En warned.
Huo Nanxiao raised an eyebrow. The Ling family?
Xia Ningxi's cheap husband abroad, who's nowhere to be found?
That third party?
Hmph, Huo Nanxiao didn't cause him any trouble even though he and Xia Ningxi got married abroad. Does that guy surnamed Ling dare to come and cause trouble for Huo Nanxiao?
If he really has the guts, Huo Nanxiao wouldn't mind making him disappear from this world!
"If he really has that ability, let him come to me."
Huo Nanxiao was utterly disdainful. He pushed open the door to the treatment room and went inside, ignoring Tang En.
Xia Ningxi's fever has gradually subsided, and her complexion has improved a lot, but she is still asleep, sleeping very soundly.
When the doctor saw Huo Nanxiao enter, he said in a low voice, "Good evening, Young Master Huo."
"Is she alright?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
The doctor said, "Her temperature has come down, she can go home now. If you're worried, Mr. Huo, you can let her stay at the hospital for one night."
"No need. Go tell the dean that Xia Ningxi is asking for leave."
After leaving a message, Huo Nanxiao carried Xia Ningxi, who was not sleeping soundly, and left the hospital.
He drove very slowly on the way back.
Xia Ningxi slept fitfully and in a daze. Huo Nanxiao knew that Xia Ningxi would only feel comfortable when she returned home and slept on that familiar big bed, so he did not let Xia Ningxi be hospitalized.
The lights in the house were always on. The butler hadn't slept and had been standing guard outside the door. When he saw Huo Nanxiao's car return, the butler rushed over.
"Young Master Huo, how is the young mistress?" the butler asked with great concern.
Huo Nanxiao said, "She's much better now. You should go and rest. I'll take care of her tonight."
"Is Young Master Huo alright?" the butler asked, sounding very worried.
Huo Nanxiao ignored him and carried Xia Ningxi upstairs.
The room was heated, and the temperature was just right, very comfortable.
Huo Nanxiao carefully placed Xia Ningxi on the bed and pulled the blanket over her.
"Ugh—" the girl groaned softly in pain, her face contorted in agony.
Huo Nanxiao then noticed that her injured shoulder was pressed against the other corner of the blanket. The tug he had just pulled had aggravated Xia Ningxi's wound, no wonder she was groaning in pain.
Huo Nanxiao quickly let go, not daring to pull the blanket forcefully anymore. However, fearing that Xia Ningxi would catch a cold, he could only soften his movements and carefully turn Xia Ningxi's petite body over so that she could lean against him. With his other hand, he carefully pulled out the blanket that she was pressing down on and covered her with it.
"Mmm, so warm..." the girl in my arms hummed softly.
She seemed to really enjoy Huo Nanxiao's embrace, instinctively nuzzling her head against him, her soft body almost embedded in his chest.
She had a faint fragrance about her, though he didn't know what it was. It smelled wonderful, and Huo Nanxiao liked it. He lowered his eyes and couldn't help but glance at Xia Ningxi a few more times.
In the darkness, her flushed cheeks were incredibly alluring.
It has to be admitted that she is truly a stunning beauty, with a perfect little face that is breathtakingly beautiful. It is the kind of face that can make someone fall in love at first glance.
She is really beautiful, even more so when she is asleep, as delicate as a porcelain doll.
"If you were usually this clingy, you wouldn't be so annoying," Huo Nanxiao sneered.
The girl in Huo Nanxiao's arms didn't hear his words. Like a wounded kitten, she kept burrowing into a warm place, searching for the most comfortable and safest spot, and that spot was Huo Nanxiao's embrace.
The little head was buried in Huo Nanxiao's arms, the little face pressed against his chest, so obedient it was unbelievable.
Perhaps it was a habit he developed from sharing a bed with Xia Ningxi over the years, but Huo Nanxiao quite liked the feeling of holding Xia Ningxi. He silently embraced the little woman, letting her sleep comfortably in his arms.
Even he himself didn't realize that he was holding Xia Ningxi's hand tightly...
He rarely had the chance to sleep with Xia Ningxi like this. Her breathing was so light that Huo Nanxiao could even hear her heartbeat...
The phone in the living room kept vibrating. He didn't know who was calling Huo Nanxiao. Afraid that he would wake Xia Ningxi if he moved, he simply let the phone continue to ring outside, held Xia Ningxi and fell asleep, forgetting about Xia Wanwan's life or death.
