Chapter 38 He is my daddy
Xia Ningxi didn't want her child to suffer such a cruel truth; she knew all too well how heartbreaking it was.
Xia Ningxi felt guilty. Even if she couldn't give Xingxing the same fatherly companionship as other children, she didn't want Xingxing to know such a cruel truth.
She apologized and hoped Xingxing could forgive her.
"Mommy, it's my fault. Daddy is dead. I don't have a daddy anymore. I won't look for him anymore. Don't be sad." Xia Xingxing stretched out her little fingers to wipe away Xia Ningxi's tears and tried to force a smile.
"Mommy, go ahead and do your work. Aunt Xinran will come to pick me up soon. I will be good and go back with her without running around."
Xia Xingxing is actually a very smart child. He had already figured out that Xia Ningxi was hiding something from him. But when he saw Xia Ningxi's red eyes, he regretted investigating his father. If knowing that his father's existence would make his mother cry, he would rather know nothing at all.
Not long after, Chu Xinran came to the hospital to pick up Xia Xingxing. Xia Xingxing acted as if nothing had happened and waved to Xia Ningxi as if nothing had happened: "Goodbye, Mommy. Remember to come home and see me and my sister after you've taken good care of the children at the hospital."
"Okay," Xia Ningxi agreed.
Xia Xingxing happily got into Chu Xinran's car, but the smile on his face gradually disappeared only after Xia Ningxi's shadow disappeared from the rearview mirror. He sat dejectedly in Chu Xinran's car, looking at the road home, but he couldn't feel happy at all. His heart ached faintly.
"Xingxing, what's wrong? Your mommy has been too busy lately. She'll definitely come back to see you when she's done. Don't be so sad." Chu Xinran thought Xia Xingxing was disappointed because Xia Ningxi couldn't come home.
Xia Xingxing didn't care whether Xia Ningxi would go back to see him; what he cared about was why Xia Ningxi was crying.
"Aunt Xinran, do you not like your own child?" Xia Xingxing asked curiously.
"Of course not, why are you asking such a question?" Chu Xinran asked, puzzled.
Xia Xingxing asked, "Would you hate your own child?"
"What nonsense are you talking about, child? No one doesn't love their own child. Your mommy loves you very much, don't overthink it," Chu Xinran quickly reassured her, thinking that Xia Xingxing was just insecure and overthinking things.
Xia Xingxing remained silent.
When he arrived at the Mingting Courtyard, he got off the bus with his little schoolbag on his back.
Xia Jingcheng strode forward and scolded, "Where have you been again? I've been looking for you for ages."
"I'm sorry, Uncle, I want to go back to my room to rest. I'm tired." Xia Xingxing didn't argue back and walked home with her head down.
Xia Jingcheng sensed something was wrong and asked Chu Xinran, "What's wrong with Xingxing?"
Chu Xinran is still completely baffled: "I don't know either. After the little guy got in the car, he asked Ning Xi why she didn't like him. I explained for a long time, but he didn't listen. Maybe he was sad because Ning Xi was taking care of Young Master Huo at the hospital these past few days and didn't come home."
"What did you say? Ning Xi is taking care of Young Master Huo?" Xia Jingcheng asked in shock.
Chu Xinran nodded: "That's right, you didn't know about this? No way, Young Master Huo promoted Ning Xi so that she could focus on taking care of his son, and her salary increased by several thousand."
Xia Jingcheng's expression was very unpleasant. "Young Master Huo personally ordered Ning Xi to treat Young Master Huo's illness?"
“Yes, our Ningxi is also very capable and has skills to rely on. No matter how rich the Huo family is, they still have to ask Ningxi for help.” Chu Xinran said with pride.
Xia Jingcheng was not happy at all. He knew Huo Nanxiao's character well. If he found out that Ning Xi was still alive, he would definitely not let her go. Didn't Young Master Huo know that the person who performed the surgery on Huo Yuan was Ning Xi?
Xia Jingcheng was preoccupied and didn't notice Xia Xingxing's unusual behavior.
Xia Xingxing stood in front of Chu Chu's door, clutching the paternity test report he had just received from the hospital. It clearly stated that he and Huo Nanxiao were biological father and son.
Xia Xingxing could see every single word clearly.
His father is not dead; Huo Nanxiao is his father.
Why did Mommy keep it from Daddy when she knew he wasn't dead? Was it because Daddy didn't like him at all? Or perhaps, Daddy didn't like Mommy at all.
Xia Xingxing couldn't accept either answer.
Xia Xingxing opened the door and went inside.
Xia Chuchu ran up excitedly: "Brother, brother, you're back! Did you find out? Is it our daddy?"
Her face was full of anticipation, as if she couldn't wait to know the answer.
Xia Xingxing secretly hid the identification report behind her back and gave a bitter smile: "Unfortunately, he is not our daddy."
"No?" Xia Chuchu opened her eyes wide in disbelief.
Xia Xingxing lowered her head and apologized, "I'm sorry, Chu Chu."
Xia Chuchu looked disappointed, her expectant eyes losing all their light in an instant. She whispered, "No, it's okay. It's alright if it's not Daddy. We'll find Daddy eventually."
“Mommy said that our daddy is dead,” Xia Xingxing told her.
Xia Chuchu shook her head: "No, she's not dead."
"Dead." Xia Xingxing repeated once more.
Xia Chuchu cried as she explained, "He's not dead. I can sense it. Daddy is definitely not dead. I can sense his presence."
"Mommy wouldn't lie to us."
Xia Chuchu pouted, tears welling in her eyes. Yes, how could Mommy lie to them? Was their daddy really dead?
She pitifully stretched out her hand: "Then where's my money?"
"I've spent it all." Xia Xingxing's voice was very soft.
Xia Chuchu, who had been holding back her tears, could no longer hold back and burst into tears, wailing, "You stinky daddy, I'll never look for him again, boohoo, I don't want daddy anymore, you good-for-nothing."
She hugged her piggy bank and went to a corner, crying sobbing uncontrollably.
Xia Xingxing patted her chest nervously, originally worried that Xia Chuchu would ask too many questions.
Seeing Xia Chuchu crying so sadly, Xia Xingxing felt embarrassed to disturb her. He cleared out a room for Xia Chuchu to cry her heart out, and then returned to his own room clutching the psychiatric report in his hand.
Xia Xingxing searched for information about Huo Nanxiao online, but only found information about Xia Wanwan. However, when she looked closely at the character relationship section, it said that Huo Nanxiao seemed to have secretly married six years ago and that his ex-wife had died early. But she couldn't find any information about Huo Nanxiao's ex-wife.
Is Mommy Huo Nanxiao's ex-wife?
That shouldn't be the case. Mommy is still alive and well, while Huo Nanxiao's ex-wife has been dead for a long time.
Further down the page, everything revolves around Huo Nanxiao and Xia Wanwan. It's said that Xia Wanwan is the most famous socialite in the capital, a perfect match for Huo Nanxiao, and they have a son, Huo Yuan, living a happy and fulfilling life.
According to the data, Xia Wanwan is indeed a very beautiful person, but Xia Xingxing thinks she is not as pretty as her mother.
"Is this the woman who is Huo Yuan's mother?" Xia Xingxing's face fell. "Where are Daddy's eyes? She's not as pretty as Mommy at all. Why would Daddy choose this woman?"
Looking left and right, Xia Xingxing couldn't see anything good about Xia Wanwan. She seemed to have nothing but beauty. Did Daddy abandon Mommy for her?
Xia Xingxing had only this one thought in his mind, because he really couldn't think of a better explanation!
If Huo Nanxiao didn't abandon his mother for this woman, why would his mother cry?
And then there's Huo Yuan, who has the exact same face as him; he might just be his bratty younger brother.
What did that awful daddy do to mommy?!
Xia Xingxing grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his fists hardened.
