Chapter 581 I will leave with the child
There weren't many people around, but they all looked at the two of them, their eyes revealing an unspoken, ambiguous feeling.
Xia Ningxi blushed even more at being surrounded by so many people, and said to Huo Nanxiao in an annoyed tone, "Don't touch me. So many people are watching. Be careful someone takes pictures and exposes you."
"And then?" Huo Nanxiao asked lazily, not caring at all.
Xia Ningxi said, "The young master of the Huo family is not at home with his fiancée in the middle of the night. Instead, he is hugging and kissing another woman on the street. Do you think this news will cause a sensation? The media will probably trample your doorstep flat."
"They don't have the guts." Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly, and took Xia Ningxi's hand as they entered the barbecue restaurant.
At three or four in the morning, the barbecue restaurant was crowded, mostly with groups of people. No one was out eating late at night alone; most of them were drunk men.
Xia Ningxi was very beautiful, and she immediately attracted a lot of attention when she entered the barbecue restaurant.
"That girl has a hot body."
"She's also very beautiful; I've never seen such a stunning woman."
"Why is there a guy with her? That guy is such an eyesore. Damn it, I don't even feel comfortable asking for his contact information."
Not far away, a group of drunk men at a table changed their expressions when they saw Huo Nanxiao. They had originally planned to get closer to Xia Ningxi, but they forcibly suppressed their thoughts.
Huo Nanxiao also heard their conversation, a disdainful smile playing on his lips. He led Xia Ningxi to a spacious table and ordered all the dishes that Xia Ningxi had previously ordered.
The proprietress rarely saw such a well-matched couple, and said with a smile, "We have a Valentine's Day special today. Lemon tea is buy one get one free for couples, and free for married couples. Would you two like a cup?"
"Two drinks, please, but..." Xia Ningxi looked at Huo Nanxiao and said very calmly, "We're just friends."
The proprietress was embarrassed for two seconds, never expecting that she would misjudge someone, and was just about to apologize.
Huo Nanxiao: "Do we need to see the marriage certificate?"
The proprietress was taken aback. She looked at Xia Ningxi and then at Huo Nanxiao, and immediately understood that the couple must have had a fight. She smiled and said, "Yes, if you have a marriage certificate, you can get a 50% discount on your bill tonight."
"I just happened to bring it with me when I went out today," Huo Nanxiao said calmly.
Xia Ningxi glared at him: "Who said we're husband and wife? Do you need this little bit of money?"
"Don't forget who got you out tonight," Huo Nanxiao reminded him.
Xia Ningxi turned to the proprietress and said, "I don't know him well. I'll pay for everything tonight. Please change the lemon tea from before; I want green tea."
The proprietress smiled and said, "Young lady, your husband has taken you out for a late-night snack in the middle of the night, so don't be angry with him. Couples need to be considerate of each other to last."
"You don't understand anything. I divorced him a long time ago!" Xia Ningxi declared.
Huo Nanxiao: "As long as we haven't gotten a divorce certificate, you will still be my wife."
"I'll go pick it up tomorrow," Xia Ningxi said.
Huo Nanxiao ignored her, handed the marriage certificate to the proprietress for a glance, then took it back and said, "Give her some cooling tea."
The proprietress found the couple's bickering amusing, so she took the menu and left. She brought out all the dishes she had promised as a Valentine's Day gift, all free of charge, and even gave them two extra servings of ice jelly.
Xia Ningxi was speechless. She stared straight at Huo Nanxiao, angry: "Is there any point in doing this? I'm not even going to bother you anymore, so why are you still trying to get involved with me? Do you really want me to tell the whole world that you have a mistress outside before you'll stop?"
"I heard that Tang En is leaving the capital soon, is that right?" Huo Nanxiao asked while disinfecting the tableware.
Xia Ningxi said, "Yes."
"Are you going with him?" Huo Nanxiao asked again.
Xia Ningxi's stunningly beautiful face froze for a few seconds, and she remained silent.
"Answer me."
The man was dissatisfied.
Xia Ningxi said, "What's it to you? You've already taken good care of Xia Wanwan, why bother with other people's business?"
She didn't want to discuss this with Huo Nanxiao, so she silently poured herself a cup of hot tea and drank it.
Huo Nanxiao said, "A Yuan doesn't understand foreign languages. If he goes abroad with you, even the most basic communication will become difficult. What you're doing is not good for him."
“Xingxing and Chuchu will take good care of him, you can rest assured about that,” Xia Ningxi said softly.
Huo Nanxiao stopped what he was doing, staring at Xia Ningxi with his cold eyes for a long time: "So, you really plan to leave with the child?"
Xia Ningxi sneered: "Isn't it normal for me to leave with the child? It would be strange if I stayed with the child. Don't you see what the situation is like in the capital city now? As a chief physician, I've been suspended from my post. Which hospital will want me in the future? What future do I have if I stay here?"
"I'm sorry about Wanwan's situation." Huo Nanxiao's voice was low and he was very helpless. "You know her situation, and you should know that once the news of Xia Luoluo poisoning her gets out, the entire Xia family will suffer, and Wanwan will also be affected. Her future will basically be ruined. I did this to protect her."
"What you do is your business, and where I go is my business. You don't need to explain to me, and I don't need to report to you."
Xia Ningxi was extremely indifferent, completely severing ties with everything.
She already knew Huo Nanxiao's choice and didn't want to ask him why he did it, since it couldn't possibly be for her.
Now that Huo Nanxiao has made his choice, Xia Ningxi should also respond. She really has no need to stay in the country now, and leaving is the best solution for her.
She didn't want to continue talking about this with Huo Nanxiao. Turning around, she saw the waiter bringing over the skewers. Xia Ningxi moved the teapot on the table and said, "The food is here. Let's eat something first."
After that, she didn't say another word to Huo Nanxiao.
If it weren't for the police calling Huo Nanxiao over tonight, Xia Ningxi would never have said another word to Huo Nanxiao, nor would she have seen her.
All she wanted to do now was have a good meal, get some sleep, and then leave the capital city after treating all the patients in the hospital. As for anything else, Xia Ningxi didn't want to say anything.
Huo Nanxiao also noticed Xia Ningxi's dissatisfaction with him, and remained silent with a sullen face.
He ordered a lot of skewers, all of which were Xia Ningxi's favorites.
Xia Ningxi also noticed, but she thought it was just an accident, because how could Huo Nanxiao possibly remember what she liked to eat? Huo Nanxiao would only remember Xia Wanwan's preferences.
She ate a lot during the late-night snack, but Huo Nanxiao didn't eat much. He watched her almost the entire time, and it was unclear what he was looking at.
Xia Ningxi was too lazy to ask, silently lowered her head, and ignored Huo Nanxiao as if he were air, completely disregarding him.
