Chapter 398 Lonely Man and Woman
Xia Ningxi didn't want to pay attention to Li Yancheng and turned to go back to her room. But he suddenly got up, swiftly jumped over the railing, and leaped over from the next room.
By the time Xia Ningxi realized what was happening, Li Yancheng was already standing behind her.
Xia Ningxi couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Why did this bastard come here?"
She remained silent with a dark expression, her beautiful eyes fixed on the man before her with a gloomy look.
Li Yancheng smiled and said, "You're not welcoming me?"
"Is it appropriate for you to come to a girl's room so late at night?" Xia Ningxi asked angrily.
Li Yancheng pulled out a chair on the terrace and sat down, lazily saying, "This is my home."
"And then?" Xia Ningxi asked impatiently.
Li Yancheng: "I can go wherever I want."
"Heh." Xia Ningxi rolled her eyes at him.
Li Yancheng said, "Sit down and have a drink with me, or I'll just come straight into your room."
Xia Ningxi was so angry that her teeth itched. Chu Chu was already asleep, and she couldn't let Li Yancheng wake her up, so she had no choice but to stay.
Pull out a chair and sit down.
Li Yancheng had already skillfully opened the red wine and poured two glasses, handing one to Xia Ningxi.
"I don't drink," Xia Ningxi refused decisively.
Li Yancheng said, "I don't like drinking either."
"Oh." Xia Ningxi looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Li Yancheng said, "I find it strange. Xia Wanwan has already become a threat to you, so why are you still helping her?"
“You seem to really not want her to live,” Xia Ningxi said.
Li Yancheng said, "To be precise, I don't want the woman Huo Nanxiao likes to live."
"..." Xia Ningxi's face darkened. She asked, "What exactly is your grudge against Huo Nanxiao?"
"Why don't you ask me what grudge I have against you?" Li Yancheng looked at Xia Ningxi's fair face with interest, a playful smile playing on his lips.
Xia Ningxi said, "I don't know you well, and I don't remember having any grudge against you. You must be mistaken."
Li Yancheng smiled without saying a word, simply watching Xia Ningxi quietly. His captivating eyes were both excessively beautiful and excessively dangerous. He looked at Xia Ningxi with a smile, and deep within those unfathomable eyes lay a complex and unfathomable depth.
A gentle breeze ruffled Xia Ningxi's hair, and she pulled her coat tighter around herself, taking a sip of red wine to warm herself up.
Li Yancheng looked at Xia Ningxi's beautiful face and said, "I'm going to a bidding conference tomorrow. You'll come with me."
"Are you kidding me?" Xia Ningxi retorted.
Li Yancheng: "I'm not joking with you."
Xia Ningxi said, "I'm not going."
Li Yancheng: "Then I'll take your precious daughter with me."
"I'll go with you." Xia Ningxi said this almost through gritted teeth.
Li Yancheng smiled and curled the corners of his mouth: "If you had agreed earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble."
Xia Ningxi said angrily, "Why do you insist that I go with you? I don't know you well, and I'm not from your company. Why do you need me for this kind of thing?"
“Because Huo Nanxiao is also here,” Li Yancheng replied.
Xia Ningxi's face darkened. "Since you knew he was there, you still dared to bring me along? Don't forget, I was kidnapped by you. Aren't you afraid that Huo Nanxiao will kill you in a fit of anger?"
“He couldn’t possibly be that extreme in public,” Li Yancheng replied casually.
Xia Ningxi remained silent.
She somewhat thought that this guy was mentally ill.
Seeing that Xia Ningxi's wine glass was empty, Li Yancheng asked, "Why aren't you drinking anymore?"
Xia Ningxi: "Alcohol allergy."
Li Yancheng suddenly smiled, opened a bottle of cocktail and handed it over: "Is this alright now?"
"Why did you bring me here? I have no grudge against you, do I?" Xia Ningxi asked impatiently.
“The gunshot wounds on my body were inflicted by you.” Li Yancheng looked into her eyes.
Xia Ningxi's lips twitched: "Do you want to go to the hospital to get your brain checked?"
"If you don't even look, why should I?" Li Yancheng retorted.
Xia Ningxi was speechless, and for a moment she didn't know what to say to him. But she was really angry at this bastard. She puffed up her cheeks and kept quiet.
"Are you angry?" Li Yancheng raised an eyebrow.
Xia Ningxi said, "I'm sleepy and going to sleep. Go back to where you came from."
Li Yancheng leaned back lazily in his chair. "I'm not going back. I'll stay here tonight."
“This joke isn’t funny,” Xia Ningxi said very seriously.
Li Yancheng curled the corners of his lips: "I'm not joking with you."
A layer of ice froze on Xia Ningxi's beautiful face. She didn't say a word, and her sharp eyes stared coldly at Li Yancheng.
"Were you scared?" Li Yancheng asked with a smile.
Xia Ningxi said, "You'd better be joking, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Li Yancheng suddenly became curious.
Xia Ningxi smiled gently, her eyes beautiful and captivating as if they were coated with poison. She looked tenderly into Li Yancheng's deep eyes, then suddenly walked over and sat on his lap.
A look of shock flashed in the man's eyes.
He was clearly frightened by Xia Ningxi's actions.
"What are you doing?" he asked angrily, about to curse Xia Ningxi as a shameless woman, but before he could utter the words, he felt a sharp pain on his neck.
"You—" Li Yancheng was shocked and fainted before he could finish the word.
Xia Ningxi got off Li Yancheng's lap and kicked him hard, but he didn't move.
"Hmph, why aren't you arrogant anymore, you dog of a man!"
Xia Ningxi kicked Li Yancheng again.
She went back inside and searched around but couldn't find the rope. Just as Xia Ningxi was getting worried, she heard Chu Chu's soft and cute voice.
"Mommy, what are you looking for?" Little Chuchu looked at her mother with a blank expression.
Xia Ningxi said, "Little baby, why are you awake? Did Mommy wake you up?"
Chu Chu nodded, then asked curiously, "What is Mommy looking for?"
“I’m looking for a rope,” Xia Ningxi replied.
Chu Chu pointed under the cabinet: "Isn't that box full of rope?"
Xia Ningxi's eyes lit up, and she immediately took out the rope and quickly walked to the terrace.
Chu Chu then noticed that someone was fast asleep in a chair.
"Mommy, why is he sleeping outside our room?" Chu Chu asked in surprise.
Xia Ningxi said, "Mommy gave him an anesthetic injection."
"Wow, Mommy is amazing! Does the anesthetic cost money?" Chu Chu asked innocently.
Xia Ningxi said, "I need money."
"Oh, it costs money too? That's such a loss!" Chu Chu felt sorry for him.
Xia Ningxi said, "We can't do it without anesthesia. Mommy can't control him by herself."
"Then I'll help Mommy."
Although Chu Chu was young, she was very efficient. She quickly ran forward to help Xia Ningxi, and the two of them tied up Li Yancheng's hands and feet together.
Soon, Li Yancheng was tied up tightly, looking pitiful like a big rice dumpling, and was thrown onto a chair by Xia Ningxi.
Chu Chu asked, "Mommy, where do we throw him?"
"Just leave him here, let him get some fresh air and clear his head." Xia Ningxi didn't care about him.
Chu Chu said, "But it would be easy for someone to spot us here. It might be better if we dragged him back into the room."
"Yes, Chu Chu is really smart, let's do it that way." Xia Ningxi adopted Chu Chu's suggestion.
However, Li Yancheng was too heavy, and it took Xia Ningxi quite a while to drag him back to the room and throw him on the sofa.
She was drenched in sweat and panting heavily as she sat on the sofa.
After a while, she searched through Li Yancheng's pockets and found his phone in his clothes. Xia Ningxi immediately took it out; it had a fingerprint lock!
Thank goodness that bastard is here.
Xia Ningxi immediately unlocked the phone using Li Yancheng's finger and dialed Xingxing's number.
"Who are you looking for?" Xingxing asked in confusion from the other end of the phone.
"Brother, brother!" Chu Chu shouted excitedly.
Xingxing asked anxiously, "Little sister? Is that you? Where's Mommy? You're with Mommy, right? Are you both alright?"
Xia Ningxi said, "Chu Chu and I are fine. Have you gotten home yet?"
"Not yet, we're at Daddy's company," Xingxing replied.
Xia Ningxi said, "Why haven't you gone back to rest yet, it's so late?"
"Because..." Xingxing was about to explain when her phone was snatched away.
Xingxing looked surprised: "Daddy?"
Huo Nanxiao had already picked up his phone and said in a deep voice, "Are you alright?"
Xia Ningxi was very surprised to hear Huo Nanxiao's voice. She replied, "I'm fine. Why haven't you taken the child home to rest yet? It's already very late."
"How did you end up with Li Yancheng's phone?" Huo Nanxiao asked.
Xia Ningxi said, "He's in my room."
"What was he doing in your room?" Huo Nanxiao demanded sharply.
Xia Ningxi said, "I'm not doing anything."
Huo Nanxiao was angry. "Xia Ningxi, explain yourself! Why was he in your room!"
“I dragged him in,” Xia Ningxi replied impatiently.
When Li Yancheng, who was far away at Yunting Group, heard these words, a dense black line appeared on his forehead. He even thought he had misheard!
He and Xia Ningxi had been together for so many years, and this was the first time he had ever realized that Xia Ningxi was such a proactive person!
Huo Nanxiao was so angry he wanted to kill someone, but he suppressed his rage and said, "I'll come pick you up right now."
"No need, don't come. There are armed guards everywhere, your people can't get in." Xia Ningxi refused.
Huo Nanxiao: "Just you wait! Before we get our divorce certificate, if you dare to do anything out of line, I won't let you off the hook."
Xia Ningxi was stunned.
What outrageous things could she and Li Yancheng possibly do?
Could Huo Nanxiao have thought that the two of them, a man and a woman, were planning to do *that* late at night?
What kind of nonsense is going on in that bastard's head?!
Xia Ningxi angrily retorted, "Haven't I already signed the divorce agreement? Why are you still making such a fuss? What I do is none of your business."
Huo Nanxiao was furious: "Xia Ningxi! Stay away from him!"
