Chapter 779 He still chose Xia Wanwan
The butler wanted to stop her, but he didn't have the authority. Look at Huo Nanxiao, he wanted Xia Ningxi to stay, but Xia Ningxi didn't care about him at all and left so gracefully that no one dared to stop her.
After Xia Ningxi had completely walked away, the butler couldn't help but say, "Young Madam has left this time, and we don't know when she will be back."
Huo Nanxiao remained silent, but his heart was filled with complex emotions.
He knew Xia Ningxi's determination better than anyone else; nothing he said would make a difference.
"Let her be." Huo Nanxiao said this after a long silence.
The butler frowned: "Young master, no one in this world will wait for you. Even the person who loves you the most will stop waiting once they are disappointed. Young mistress is a very good person, don't you know that?"
“She needs to be alone right now,” Huo Nanxiao replied.
Butler: "Young mistress, please calm down. You won't even have the chance to shine her shoes."
Huo Nanxiao's face darkened instantly, and his cold gaze fell on the butler.
Butler: "Every word I said is the truth. Young Master should know very well what Young Madam's temper is like, and he also knows that many people are pursuing her recently. Everyone around her is outstanding, and any one of them would be no less than you."
Take Tang En for example. He is a top doctor appointed by the president and is a well-known figure abroad. If he didn't like the young mistress, why would he have traveled all the way to the capital?
Young Master Li is also quite eligible; the Li family is a prestigious and wealthy clan, and this is his first marriage. This incident clearly shows that Young Master Li's feelings for his wife are extraordinary.
Huo Nanxiao's current situation is not much better; he is surrounded by enemies, and only Huo Nanxiao himself thinks he is still in high demand.
The housekeeper said, "Xia Wanwan is definitely not going to be accepted into the Huo family. Now that she knows everything, she probably won't have the nerve to ask you to marry her. It would be better to take this opportunity to quietly cut off all contact. Once the young mistress calms down, she will naturally come back."
"My affairs are none of your business," Huo Nanxiao said, somewhat dissatisfied.
Butler: "Young master, I'm doing this for your own good. Right now, the young mistress still has some feelings for you. If you go to pick her up, she'll still be willing to go home with you. But once another man comes along and takes her place, you'll really have no chance."
Huo Nanxiao, who was already in a bad mood, suddenly felt agitated and didn't want to discuss the matter with the butler anymore.
"Get the car ready, I'm going out," he ordered.
The butler beamed with delight: "Young Master, have you come to your senses? Shall we go and bring Young Madam back?"
"No." Leaving those two words, Huo Nanxiao didn't wait for his instructions. He went back to get his car keys, entered the underground garage, and drove off in any car he could find.
He didn't go to see Xia Ningxi, but went to see Xia Wanwan instead, because he had promised Xia Wanwan last night that he would come to see her today, and now he was just fulfilling his promise.
When Xia Wanwan saw him, her face was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell whether she was happy or sad.
"You've come." Her voice was very soft, as if nothing had happened last night.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "Are you feeling better?"
"It's alright, the doctor said my health is fine, I just need to rest and I can be discharged at any time," Xia Wanwan replied.
Huo Nanxiao thought for a moment and said, "I have a private villa nearby. Why don't you move there to recuperate?"
"Is that appropriate? I'd better go back to the Xia family home. If I stay at your house at a time like this and outsiders find out, who knows what they'll say? I don't want to put you in a difficult position." Xia Wanwan rejected Huo Nanxiao's suggestion.
Huo Nanxiao asked, "Are you sure you can properly recover if you return to the Xia family?"
"It doesn't matter anymore. No matter what, we're all family. Even though the Xia family went bankrupt, they probably won't blame me for all the mistakes. Maybe they won't make things difficult for me." Xia Wanwan's voice trembled slightly.
She wasn't sure if Xia Wenhe and Zhou Fenglin would make things difficult for her.
But Huo Nanxiao knew very well the character of this family.
He said, "If I don't restore the cooperation between the two companies, you won't be able to live in peace when you go back."
"That's my fate. Anyway, I'm already like this. Nobody likes a burden who can't take care of himself," Xia Wanwan said self-deprecatingly.
Huo Nanxiao felt uneasy.
It would be absolutely impossible for him to have no feelings for Xia Wanwan. Over the years, he has searched for famous doctors for Xia Wanwan and often visited her. No matter how busy or tired he was, he would always make time to be with her at the hospital.
He was already used to all of this.
The woman before him was no longer the spirited and radiant girl she once was. She was so thin that her frail body, reduced to skin and bones, was heartbreaking, making it impossible for Huo Nanxiao to abandon her and do nothing at this moment.
He couldn't bear it after all, and said in a deep voice, "Come stay at my place. I'll figure out what to do with the reporters."
"Then how are you going to explain this to Uncle Huo? You know he doesn't like me. This has already happened. If I continue to get entangled with you, what will he think? He will be very angry and very sad. I don't want to put you in a difficult position." Xia Wanwan shook her head.
Huo Nanxiao: "I will explain it to him clearly."
Xia Wanwan: "But..."
Huo Nanxiao: "Alright, stop talking. I'll handle this."
"What about Ning Xi? How are you going to explain that?" Xia Wanwan asked cautiously.
A seemingly small question stumped Huo Nanxiao. His emotions were mixed, and Xia Ningxi's face appeared in his mind. He was also struggling with how to explain things to Xia Ningxi.
But then she thought, she already knew everything, so what was there to explain? All she wanted was to leave him.
Huo Nanxiao chuckled and replied, "There's no need to explain."
"Okay then," Xia Wanwan agreed.
That afternoon, Xia Wanwan was discharged from the hospital and moved into Huo Nanxiao's small villa in the city center. He also instructed Ye Su to find several new nannies to take care of Xia Wanwan and not to let anyone know about it.
Xia Wanwan was thus kept hidden away like a pampered concubine, living a peaceful life in Huo Nanxiao's small villa, occasionally contacting her parents.
At first, the media was unaware that Huo Nanxiao had taken her away, and Xia Wanwan enjoyed a few peaceful days. However, Zhou Fenglin, with his smug nature, couldn't hold back and boasted everywhere that his precious daughter was living with Huo Nanxiao.
Before long, the media throughout the capital city knew about this, and soon the information about Xia Wanwan's villa was also exposed. Even hundreds of photos of her sunbathing in the garden were taken.
Those who were wondering whether Huo Nanxiao would choose Xia Wanwan or Xia Ningxi now had the answer in their hearts.
This news naturally reached Xia Ningxi's ears as well.
