Chapter 431 Giving Xia Ningxi to Me
Li Yancheng was completely in a "let's watch the show" attitude. Seeing Xia Ningxi's expression change, he curled his lips and fanned the flames: "I told you before to cooperate with me obediently, but you didn't listen. Now you've been used so thoroughly by Huo Nanxiao. You deserve it."
"Why do I feel like you're gloating?" Xia Ningxi could tell at a glance that Li Yancheng had ill intentions.
Li Yancheng said, "What you should be worried about now is whether you can go back safely."
"Where did Huo Nanxiao go?" Xia Ningxi asked.
Li Yancheng: "Naturally, he's going to save his sweetheart, Xia Wanwan."
"..." Xia Ningxi was speechless. Sure enough, she had a bad feeling when she came, but she didn't think too much about it. Now, after hearing Li Yancheng's words, she had nothing to say but speechlessness.
She knew that Li Yancheng would definitely cause trouble for Huo Nanxiao after taking Xia Wanwan away.
However, Xia Ningxi believed that Li Yancheng must want to have some special privileges in the Imperial City. After all, the Li family had been suppressed a lot after entering the Imperial City, so it was impossible for them to do business comfortably in the Imperial City.
But……
Xia Ningxi never expected that Li Yancheng would ask to exchange her for Xia Wanwan.
Has this idiot lost his mind?
So what if you got beaten up? You're still holding a grudge?
Xia Ningxi said, "Li Yancheng, what are you trying to do?"
"I haven't decided yet," Li Yancheng replied lazily.
Xia Ningxi said, "Huo Nanxiao must have given you a better option, why did you specifically ask me to exchange for Xia Wanwan? I'm worthless."
"Because I don't like the look of you." Li Yancheng gave Xia Ningxi an answer she had never expected.
Xia Ningxi was speechless and didn't know how to refute for a moment. She looked at Li Yancheng's head suspiciously. She hadn't hit him on the head last time, so why did he look like he had been beaten silly?
"What are you looking at?" Li Yancheng's voice suddenly turned extremely cold and terrifying.
Xia Ningxi awkwardly looked away.
It was the middle of the night, and she was really sleepy. She went straight to the living room, found a place to sit down, and replied, "Now that I'm in your hands, just say what you want to do. If you haven't thought it through, I'll take a nap first, and we can talk about it after I'm asleep."
Then, she lay down, closed her eyes, and prepared to sleep.
"You really think this is your home? Believe me or not, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the sharks!" Li Yancheng was furious.
"Whatever, you can't escape it if something happens to me anyway."
Xia Ningxi looked completely unconcerned, which infuriated Li Yancheng.
He even had a bit of a headache!
Pointing at Xia Ningxi, who was lying on the sofa like a "big shot," he said, "Have you forgotten that you're a hostage now?!"
“I haven’t forgotten, but I’m already in your hands. You’ve succeeded. What’s there to be dissatisfied about? Even if you’re dissatisfied, you can’t stop people from sleeping, can you?” Xia Ningxi retorted.
Li Yancheng's face was ashen: "Get up!"
His voice was noticeably sharper than before, even carrying a hint of anger.
Xia Ningxi was wide awake, her face filled with resentment.
She's already in Li Yancheng's hands, what else does this guy want to do? Does he really dare to lay a hand on her? If so, Li Yancheng would really have a death wish. As soon as the hospital realizes that Xia Ningxi is missing, they will definitely call the police.
Given Xia Ningxi's reputation in the medical field, it's hard for her not to attract attention. Eventually, the investigation will lead to Li Yancheng. Even if he is the eldest son of the Li family, he won't get away with it.
Xia Ningxi thought Li Yancheng would cause her trouble, but the result was very unexpected; Li Yancheng wanted to take her out.
But he wouldn't say where he was going.
When they arrived, Xia Ningxi realized that the place they had arrived at was an aquarium built by the sea, and there was even a monitoring room inside. This should be the territory of the Li family.
Why did Li Yancheng bring me to a place like this?
They were on the third floor, on a large rooftop. Looking down, they saw an artificial pond filled with many fierce-looking fish with sharp teeth and mouths, which appeared to be carnivorous.
"Xia Wanwan?" Xia Ningxi spotted Xia Wanwan at a glance.
She was very surprised: "What do you want to do to Xia Wanwan?"
"Didn't you see it? Of course, you'd throw it into the water to feed the fish." Li Yancheng made no attempt to hide his intentions.
Xia Ningxi said, "Are you crazy?"
"Do I look like I'm joking with you?" Li Yancheng retorted.
Xia Ningxi said, "Xia Wanwan didn't provoke you. You should settle your grudges with Huo Nanxiao. Why hurt a woman?"
"Heh, do you know that my sister's death is inextricably linked to her?" Li Yancheng retorted.
Xia Ningxi frowned: "Your sister?"
"Forget it, there's no point in wasting my breath talking to you." Li Yancheng skipped over the topic.
Hurried footsteps came from behind them, and a subordinate walked quickly towards the two of them, whispering in Li Yancheng's ear, "Young Master Li, Huo Nanxiao has discovered that he has been deceived and has come looking for him."
"Heh, this guy is actually quite clever, coming to my door so quickly." Li Yancheng thought Huo Nanxiao would at least have to wait until dawn, but he didn't expect him to be so fast.
He gently waved his fair hand.
The subordinate downstairs instantly turned cold and pushed Xia Wanwan's wheelchair toward the edge of the pool.
At this moment, Xia Wanwan's eyes were covered, and she couldn't see anything. She had no idea that there was an abyss in front of her.
If she falls, she will definitely be eaten away until there is nothing left of the stone!
Xia Ningxi clenched her fists, "You're such a pervert!"
"Heh, how about I replace you?" Li Yancheng retorted.
Xia Ningxi said, "Do you dare?"
Li Yancheng's eyes flickered, and he sneered, "This woman is your rival in love. If she dies, no one will be competing with you for her. Don't you want her to die?"
“I will not decide someone’s life based on my own likes or dislikes, nor do I have that right, and neither do you. No matter what Xia Wanwan did wrong, she is a living, breathing person now, and it is not up to anyone to decide her life or death,” Xia Ningxi said.
Li Yancheng laughed loudly, taking a step closer to Xia Ningxi. He angrily grabbed Xia Ningxi's chin, his sharp eyes terrifyingly fierce: "Xia Ningxi, is it worth it for you to stand up for someone who hurt you? Don't forget how much inhuman treatment you suffered because of Xia Wanwan? If it weren't for her, how could your child have been snatched away right after birth?"
"Don't you think it's ridiculous that you're now defending the culprit?"
He was sarcastic, but also very angry; he didn't know why he was so annoyed!
He thought Xia Ningxi was out of her mind!
Xia Wanwan stole everything that belonged to her, and Xia Ningxi actually defended her? Is she sick in the head?
Xia Ningxi said, "No matter who is downstairs, I will protect them when it comes to life and death. Li Yancheng, I don't know you well, and don't expect to find any resonance with me. Release Xia Wanwan."
"Hmph, no way." Li Yancheng refused outright.
Xia Ningxi got angry: "Do you want to go to jail?"
“She’s not dead.” Li Yancheng replied without any politeness.
Xia Ningxi said, "Fine, if you won't let them go, I will."
She turned to go downstairs.
Li Yancheng gripped her wrist tightly.
"Let go," she warned impatiently.
Li Yancheng said, "It's not your place to be a hero and save the damsel in distress."
"?"
As Xia Ningxi was wondering, she saw a familiar figure—it was Huo Nanxiao; he had arrived.
Xia Ningxi's heart trembled violently a few times.
He watched as Huo Nanxiao hurried toward Xia Wanwan, moving very fast, as if he were terrified that something might happen to her. His anxiety and worry were clearly visible, emotions that Xia Ningxi rarely saw on Huo Nanxiao's face.
He really cares about Xia Wanwan.
They were even concerned about Xia Ningxi's safety.
"See? This man doesn't even have eyes for you. His heart is only for that woman named Xia Wanwan," Li Yancheng sneered.
Xia Ningxi said, "And then?"
"Why should I stay by the side of a man like that?" Li Yancheng asked rhetorically.
Xia Ningxi said, "You seem to be overly concerned about my affairs."
"Hmph." Li Yancheng snorted coldly and fell silent.
Xia Ningxi remained silent, coldly observing everything downstairs. It couldn't be said that she wasn't upset, but she had long since grown accustomed to such things.
She wanted to leave.
"Where are you going?" Li Yancheng called out to Xia Ningxi.
Xia Ningxi said, "I've watched all the shows I wanted to see, it's time to go home and sleep."
“That’s true.” Li Yancheng chuckled and put his arm around Xia Ningxi’s waist.
Xia Ningxi was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Li Yancheng suddenly coughed lightly towards the downstairs, directly attracting Huo Nanxiao's attention. In that instant, Huo Nanxiao saw Li Yancheng embracing Xia Ningxi, and his deep eyes were terrifyingly piercing.
Li Yancheng, however, did not take Huo Nanxiao's anger to heart at all, and said lazily, "Nanxiao, you'd better think it over. Once you take Xia Wanwan away, this woman will be mine."
Huo Nanxiao's eyes turned cold, but he did not answer Li Yancheng's question.
Lu Qi was also rushing towards Xia Wanwan at top speed.
"Is this your choice?" Li Yancheng asked.
Huo Nanxiao said, "Do you dare to touch her?"
"What's there to be afraid of?" Li Yancheng said, pulling Xia Ningxi into his arms as he spoke!
Huo Nanxiao was so angry he wanted to kill someone: "You're dead."
"Heh, you personally delivered him to me as a form of exchange, and now you're angry with me? Huo Nanxiao, you really are unreasonable!" Li Yancheng mocked him.
Huo Nanxiao's sharp eyes stared menacingly at the hand Li Yancheng was using to hold Xia Ningxi, and his thin lips parted slightly: "I will cut off your hand."
“Since you’ve already chosen Xia Wanwan, you should set Xia Ningxi free. Coincidentally, I like her very much. Why don’t we keep her here with me from today onwards? I’ll take care of this woman for you, and you can then live happily ever after with your Xia Wanwan.” Li Yancheng made a suggestion that he thought Huo Nanxiao would agree to.
