Chapter 41 Because you're my woman
"What gives you the right to be so domineering?" Xia Ningxi said angrily.
A sharp glint flashed in Huo Nanxiao's eyes: "Just because the Imperial City is my territory, and you are my woman."
"You—" Xia Ningxi was so angry that she couldn't speak coherently. All she could do was stomp on Huo Nanxiao's foot viciously.
This action completely enraged Huo Nanxiao. He angrily pushed Xia Ningxi into the next lounge, locked the door, and viciously bit Xia Ningxi's shoulder.
Xia Ningxi winced in pain and cursed, "You bastard, let me go!"
Huo Nanxiao simply tore off her clothes.
Her snow-white shoulders were exposed to the air, perfectly presented to Huo Nanxiao's eyes. He lifted Xia Ningxi's chin, like a devil: "If I take you now and then tell your good senior brother, do you think he will still like you?"
Xia Ningxi trembled all over, gritting her teeth: "You're shameless!"
"Try saying another word." Huo Nanxiao's aura changed.
"Shameless!" Xia Ningxi retorted, not to be outdone.
Huo Nanxiao finally couldn't hold back his anger any longer and angrily threw Xia Ningxi onto the bed.
Xia Ningxi retreated repeatedly, watching the man walk towards her step by step. Suddenly, she panicked until her back bumped into something, and she realized that she had nowhere to retreat.
She turned over to escape!
Huo Nanxiao seemed to have anticipated Xia Ningxi's actions, so he pressed her down and used one large hand to lift both of Xia Ningxi's wrists above her head and hold them tightly.
Xia Ningxi completely lost the ability to struggle.
The man's retaliatory kiss landed on her neck.
Huo Nanxiao must have done it on purpose; every kiss he gave was placed in the most conspicuous spot, as if he wanted everyone to see it.
Although Xia Ningxi couldn't see the location of the hickey, she could guess that it couldn't be covered by her collar either, which annoyed Xia Ningxi. She was really angry, but her hands were restrained, and Xia Ningxi had no strength to struggle.
Her eyes were red with anxiety, and she finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Huo Nanxiao, aren't you afraid that Xia Wanwan will be heartbroken if you do this to me?"
Huo Nanxiao's body trembled.
Xia Ningxi sensed it. She secretly mocked herself. Seeing the clarity that flashed in Huo Nanxiao's angry eyes, Xia Ningxi knew that from beginning to end, Xia Wanwan was his weakness, a thorn between the two of them.
Whether it's two years or ten years, no matter how many years have passed, Huo Nanxiao's heart will always belong to that woman.
Thinking of this, Xia Ningxi's heart ached so much that it could no longer beat. She tried to calm herself down and gave up struggling.
The man noticed Xia Ningxi's compliance and released her.
Xia Ningxi's hands, no longer restrained, climbed onto Huo Nanxiao's body and wrapped around his neck.
She lay beneath him, her eyes closed.
Huo Nanxiao felt disgusted by her submissive appearance.
He was furious: "I told you, you're not worthy to mention her!"
Xia Ningxi chuckled: "Huo Nanxiao, to be honest, you still haven't forgotten me after all these years, have you? If Xia Wanwan wakes up and finds out that you and I are entangled, I wonder what she will think. At that time, I will definitely tell her every little thing about us."
The man's gaze turned icy in an instant, and he said angrily, "You'd better shut up."
"Hehe, scared? So many years have passed and you still can't forget me. To be honest, I'm actually quite happy. At least I won this round, didn't I? Xia Wanwan probably won't forgive me, the murderer, until she dies, right?" Xia Ningxi curled her lips and laughed freely.
But Huo Nanxiao found that smile extremely malicious.
He no longer felt any impulse towards Xia Ningxi and said angrily, "Even now you still haven't repented, Xia Ningxi, you disgust me."
"Yes, I won't change. Why shouldn't I change? As long as Xia Wanwan dies, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huo family will be mine. I just hate her, but she can't do anything to me now anyway."
Xia Ningxi deliberately provoked: "You can take me now, and I will definitely not resist. But after that, I will immediately go to the Huo family and find Old Madam Huo to make a decision for me. At that time, Young Master Huo should understand what is more important in the eyes of the Huo family, and whether Old Madam Huo will choose me or a vegetable lying in a hospital bed!"
"Enough!" Huo Nanxiao said sternly.
Xia Ningxi smiled with interest, her long, slender, snow-white fingers gently tracing a circle on Huo Nanxiao's chest...
She's seducing him...
A flame flickered in Huo Nanxiao's clear eyes, and he turned and left.
Xia Ningxi watched the man's angry departure, panting heavily with tension. Her taut nerves finally relaxed at that moment. Xia Ningxi lay helplessly on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. How many times had she been in a hospital, looking at this pristine white ceiling, dialing Huo Nanxiao's number again and again, but he never answered?
She felt ridiculous; after all these years, she still couldn't forget Huo Nanxiao, couldn't forget the pain he had caused her, and couldn't forget everything about him.
However, it's impossible for them to be together forever. As long as Xia Wanwan is around, Huo Nanxiao will never have room for any other woman.
Xia Ningxi sniffed, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, straightened her clothes, and went into the bathroom.
There were five hickeys on her neck, three on the left and two on the right, all in the most conspicuous places. Xia Ningxi applied cold water for a long time but they didn't disappear. She could only pull her collar up, but she couldn't cover the hickeys on her neck no matter what she did. Xia Ningxi was a little annoyed.
"That bastard Huo Nanxiao," Xia Ningxi cursed viciously.
The hickeys couldn't be hidden, and she couldn't very well go out with them on. If her other colleagues saw them, she didn't know what nasty things they would say.
She called Zhou Xiaoya and asked her for foundation.
Zhou Xiaoya asked in confusion, "Do you wear makeup to work too?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? Did you bring it?" Xia Ningxi pressed.
Zhou Xiaoya said, "I brought it, but I'm too scared to go over there. I just saw a group of people carrying Dr. Yang out, and I panicked."
"Don't be afraid, everything will be fine. If you're scared, just leave it to the bodyguards, they'll bring it to me," Xia Ningxi instructed.
Zhou Xiaoya had no choice but to do as Xia Ningxi instructed.
Xia Ningxi quickly got the foundation and applied several layers to her neck, barely managing to cover the hickey.
She came out of the bathroom, but Huo Nanxiao did not leave. He just sat on the sofa with a cold face, looking at the files his secretary had brought him, without even glancing at her.
Xia Ningxi opened the door and went out.
Back in her consultation room, Yang Yuean was sitting inside waiting for her.
Xia Ningxi took a deep breath and walked into the consultation room.
"Dr. Xia, is there anything you want to say to me?" Yang Yuean asked.
Xia Ningxi said in a deep voice, "As you can see."
