Huo Xiuyuan didn't know what kind of poison had been put on Huo Nanxiao that made him act so stubbornly. Now seeing the three children so happy and recognizing him as their grandfather, and seeing Huo Nanxiao's uncomfortable look, Huo Xiuyuan was in a good mood.

He checked the time and it was getting late, so he asked curiously, "Why are you still staying here? Are you planning to stay at Ning Xi's house?"

"Is there a problem?" Huo Nanxiao asked back.

Huo Xiuyuan said: "Of course there is a problem. Ning Xi is getting married soon, and it is not appropriate for an outsider like you to live in her house. If other people knew about this, they would probably blame Ning Xi.

You can be shameless, but you can't hinder Ning Xi. She is not as shameless as you. She is a public figure and needs to be in the spotlight. You are different. You have a bad reputation. Even if you embarrass yourself, no one will say anything bad about you."

These words directly separated Huo Nanxiao and Xia Ningxi completely, and she also disliked Huo Nanxiao very much.

Huo Nanxiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Am I your biological son? How can you be so crooked?"

"I already have grandchildren. There's no point in having a son like you who is blinded by lust. It makes me angry just looking at him." Huo Xiuyuan snorted coldly.

Huo Nanxiao was silent. He suddenly didn't want to talk to Huo Xiuyuan anymore and took a sip of tea quietly.

Huo Xiuyuan saw this and snorted, "Why don't you leave?"

"No." Huo Nanxiao's attitude was very tough.

Huo Xiuyuan said: "Are you still thinking of asking Ning Xi to come out and blast you in person?"

"As long as you don't fan the flames, this kind of thing will basically not happen." Huo Nanxiao replied.

Huo Xiuyuan said, "Do you still need me to fan the flames between you? Don't you see that Ning Xi is paying attention to you? She treats you like air. It's useless for me to fan the flames. You should look for the reasons in yourself instead of making it seem like I'm forcing you to divorce."

This sentence silenced Huo Nanxiao again.

He was in a particularly heavy mood today.

Huo Xiuyuan brushed the dust off his pants and said, "I'm going to play with the kids. You can do whatever you want."

After leaving a word, Huo Xiuyuan went directly to the garden to play with the three children.

Xia Jingcheng's leg injury had healed a lot. When he had nothing to do, he prepared afternoon tea. He also thoughtfully made the steamed buns that the children loved to eat. His cooking skills were amazing.

It was also the first time for Huo Xiuyuan to taste Xia Jingcheng's cooking. He found that the food cooked by this grown man was better than that cooked by professional chefs outside. He praised Xia Jingcheng highly again.

In the end, he praised Xia Ningxi again and almost praised her to the sky, which made Xia Ningxi quite embarrassed and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Huo Xiuyuan didn't leave at night, so Xia Ningxi had to arrange accommodation for him.

The task of coaxing the child to sleep finally fell on Huo Xiuyuan's shoulders. As he was old, he told bedtime stories very slowly. The child listened very carefully and was much more well-behaved than usual.

Huo Xiuyuan felt that taking care of a child was not tiring at all, and he didn't understand why Huo Nanxiao was so busy on weekdays that he couldn't even spare some time to take care of the child. He became even more dissatisfied with Huo Nanxiao.

After coaxing the three children to sleep, Huo Xiuyuan couldn't help but scold Huo Nanxiao again, "Tell me, what else can you do besides making money?"

"How much of your earnings do you spend on your child? You spend it all on subsidizing Xia Wanwan, right? She's a worthless person who can't take care of herself, and she relies on you for support every day. Are you addicted to it? Are you her father or her mother?"

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Huo Xiuyuan continued to scold him, "I don't care what you think now. Ning Xi is getting married soon anyway. Don't do anything rash, and don't let her reputation be damaged."

Huo Nanxiao asked: "What good will it do you if she marries into the Ling family?"

"It won't do me any harm either." Huo Xiuyuan replied.

Huo Nanxiao said: "It will be more beneficial for you to stay in the Huo family."

Huo Xiuyuan snorted coldly: "All three children are my own. I am not asking for a fourth grandchild. As long as Yuan and the others recognize me as their grandfather, I will be satisfied. As for the benefits? I have never given Ning Xi anything good, so I will not expect her to bring any benefits to the Huo family."

"Well, I have nothing more to say to you." Huo Nanxiao stopped talking and turned to go upstairs.

Huo Nanxiao did not go to the company for the next few days, and Huo Xiuyuan also stayed at Xia Ningxi's house.

The three children also noticed that they were particularly enthusiastic these days, especially the sensitive Xingxing, who always felt that Huo Xiuyuan and Huo Nanxiao were repairing their relationship and wanted to find a breakthrough from the children.

So in the next few days, Xingxing no longer liked to play with Huo Xiuyuan, but instead liked to go out for a stroll with Lin Jiangbei.

Lin Jiangbei was very happy. In the following days, he came to play with the child almost every day, took the child out, and finally brought the child directly back to Ling's house.

Huo Xiuyuan also saw through Lin Jiangbei's little thoughts, and it was not easy for him to stop the children, so he could only let them do what they wanted.

Although Huo Xiuyuan agreed with Xia Ningxi marrying someone else, he was more or less unhappy to see his precious grandchildren living in someone else's home.

As soon as he got upset, he caught Huo Nanxiao and started scolding him.

Huo Nanxiao finally moved back to the company as he couldn't stand the old man's nagging.

As the wedding date approached, Xia Ningxi had turned off her cell phone and stayed in the laboratory day and night, never leaving the room.

Huo Nanxiao was in a bad mood and hadn't worked much in the past few days.

When Xia Wanwan came to him, Huo Nanxiao was very cold towards her.

Xia Wanwan could tell that Huo Nanxiao didn't want to see her, so she said, "Did I disturb your work?"

"No." Horanxiao denied.

Xia Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and put the lunch box on the table: "I heard that you didn't have dinner today because you have been working overtime. I made some for you. Would you like to try it?"

"No need for that. You are not in good health. Don't do these things in the future," said Huo Nanxiao.

Xia Wanwan sat down opposite Huo Nanxiao, looking at his exhausted face, and asked, "Didn't Ning Xi look for you? I called her, but her phone was always turned off."

"She's in the lab these days and isn't available," Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Wanwan lowered her eyes: "I heard that the day after tomorrow is her wedding day, and there has been no news of canceling the engagement. Could it be that she really wants to marry into the Ling family?"

"I don't know."

Huo Nanxiao smiled bitterly and said nothing more.

Xia Wanwan felt bad seeing how sad he was.

She has also been paying attention to Xia Ningxi's marriage and reading reports from various media outlets. The Ling family is indeed a good choice. Xia Ningxi will have a bright future if she marries into the Ling family.

She was also wondering if Xia Ningxi would suddenly change her mind when the wedding date was approaching. If so, would she ask Huo Nanxiao to remarry her?

"If Ning Xi insists on marrying into the Ling family, Nan Xiao, what will you do?" Xia Wanwan asked.

Huo Nanxiao said: "She won't."

"But the wedding date is coming soon, and Ning Xi has no intention of announcing the cancellation of the engagement. Maybe she really plans to live in the Ling family for the rest of her life." Xia Wanwan's voice trembled.

Huo Nanxiao's eyes turned cold when he looked at Xia Wanwan: "You seem very happy?"

"Should I be happy?" Xia Wanwan asked back.

Huo Nanxiao said: "It shouldn't be."

Xia Wanwan smiled bitterly: "I am not qualified to say anything, but I hope you can be happy and I don't want you to be sad."

"Then go back and take care of yourself, and don't bother me." Huo Nanxiao's attitude was very cold.

Xia Wanwan felt upset. She opened the dinner she had carefully prepared and said gently, "Try the dinner I made myself. Maybe you will like it."

"I don't like anything you make."

Huo Nanxiao's ruthless words made Xia Wanwan turn pale.

The smile on her face was gone, and she lowered her head sadly: "So, you hate me to this extent?"

Huo Nanxiao looked into Xia Wanwan's eyes and said word by word, "It's not disgust, but it's unnecessary. I know what you are thinking, and I know you want to remarry me, but Wanwan, I never touched you from beginning to end, just wanting you to have a good home in the future."

"So, the reason you didn't touch me was because you never thought about spending your whole life with me..." Xia Wanwan's eyes turned red as she smiled.

She thought Huo Nanxiao regretted marrying her because he found out that the person who saved him was Xia Ningxi, and he wanted to make amends to Xia Ningxi, so he chose to divorce.

But now it seems that no matter whether it was him who saved him back then or not, Huo Nanxiao would never touch her, let alone have a child with her...

So what was her hard work all this time? Was it a complete joke?
