Doctor Lu looked at Xia Ningxi in surprise and asked, "Ningxi, are you familiar with this person?"

"Ex-husband." Xia Ningxi replied calmly.

Doctor Lu suddenly realized and said to Huo Nanxiao with a smile: "Hello, my name is Lu Yi, I am Ning Xi's junior fellow student. When I was abroad, she often took me to do experiments. I have never heard her mention you, so I guess you are not a very important person."

Huo Nanxiao's eyes were cold: "What a coincidence, I haven't heard her mention you either."

Lu Yi smiled and replied: "None of this matters. We are colleagues now and we will have a lot of time to work together in the future."

It seemed like a calm sentence, but it was actually full of provocation.

Huo Nanxiao was angry.

Xia Ningxi also noticed Huo Nanxiao's anger. She said to Lu Yi, "The fireworks show tonight has been cancelled. We won't watch it. You can go back first."

"Should I take you there?" Lu Yi asked.

Xia Ningxi shook her head and refused: "No, I will go back with Huo Nanxiao."

Lu Yi smiled and said, "So he is Mr. Huo. I have heard of his name for a long time. Now that I see him, I can see that he has an outstanding temperament and is different from ordinary people. But you have already divorced, why is he still pestering you?"

"Who told you that we are divorced?" Huo Nanxiao looked at Lu Yi dangerously.

Lu Yi said, "Isn't this something that everyone in the world knows? I also heard that Mr. Huo was married once before. Now that his previous wife is gone, is he going back to look for our Ning Xi?"

He sneered in a sarcastic tone, his words full of disdain.

Huo Nanxiao sneered, his eyes fell on Xia Ningxi, and said, "Even if you want to find a man, you should find a rich and powerful one. Do you want to spend money to support such a poor man for the rest of his life?"

Lu Yi replied: "I am not talented, but my family owns several gold mines and thirteen hospitals. Although I am not particularly rich, I don't need a woman to support me. Why is Mr. Huo so anxious?"

"Besides, Ning Xi is single now, so it's normal for someone to pursue her. Why is Mr. Huo so anxious?"

He didn't take Huo Nanxiao seriously at all, and walked out holding Xia Ningxi's hand: "Let's go, Ningxi, it's getting late, I'll take you home."

"Okay." Xia Ningxi agreed and left with Lu Yi.

When passing by Huo Nanxiao, Huo Nanxiao held Xia Ningxi's hand and said, "I'll take you there."

"I'll deliver it, no need to bother Mr. Huo!" The smile in Lu Yi's eyes was sharp and provocative.

Xia Ningxi was sandwiched between the two men, her hands were squeezed red by them, she tried to struggle free, but the two men held her tightly, not letting up even a bit.

Xia Ningxi said: "Let go!"

Lu Yi replied: "Just ask Mr. Huo to let go. I brought you out here, so naturally I have to send you home myself."

Huo Nanxiao ignored Lu Yi and looked at Xia Ningxi, asking word by word, "Think carefully about who you want to go with."

Xia Ningxi said: "I'll take a taxi home."

Huo Nanxiao's eyes turned cold: "Say it again!"

Xia Ningxi said, "Let go of me, I'm going to take a taxi home. I have another surgery to do tomorrow. Let go of me, you're hurting me."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi immediately let go of his hand.

Huo Nanxiao did not let go, but the strength in his hands was obviously much lighter than before.

"Let go too." Xia Ningxi warned him.

Huo Nanxiao didn't move.

Xia Ningxi forcibly broke free from his grip, turned around and left without getting into anyone's car.

Seeing this, Lu Yi happily chased after her, "Ning Xi, let me take a taxi with you. It's late at night, and it's not safe for you to take a taxi alone."

Before leaving, Lu Yi did not forget to wave to Huo Nanxiao: "Mr. Huo, I will just take her back, so I won't bother you with any more worries."

"No need for you to send me off!" Xia Ningxi refused.

Lu Yi said, "If I don't send you off at night, will your ex-husband do it? You're already divorced, and being so close will make other people talk. Besides, I still have some academic issues to discuss with you, such as the surgery tomorrow. I want to go into the operating room with you..."

He said a lot, then naturally took Xia Ningxi's hand and walked out of the crowd.

By the time Xia Ningxi reacted, they had already walked a long way, and Huo Nanxiao had long disappeared.

Xia Ningxi retracted her gaze and fixed it on Lu Yi. She said, "Did you do that on purpose?"

"Yes, I dragged you away on purpose. It would be inappropriate for Huo Nanxiao, a public figure, to fight with me in front of a group of outsiders, right? If he really did that, the entire Huo family would be affected." Lu Yi replied with a smile.

Xia Ningxi didn't know what to say to him for a moment.

When Lu Yi took Xia Ningxi to the roadside to hail a taxi, he happened to see a balloon seller on the roadside. He bought three balloons and handed them to Xia Ningxi: "Xingxing and the others must be very bored at home, right? These three balloons are for them."

"Thank you, but no, they have a lot of toys." Xia Ningxi refused.

Lu Yi replied: "Then I'll take it. I'll give it to them personally when I get home."

"You still want to go home with me?" Xia Ningxi's mouth twitched.

Lu Yi said, "I've only been to Lingcheng for a short time, and I haven't been to many places. I just wanted to visit your house. It will only take five minutes. You don't want me to stay for even five minutes, do you?"

He looked at Xia Ningxi pitifully.

Xia Ningxi couldn't refuse, and after sighing helplessly, she decided to take Lu Yi back. "Okay, there are many people at home, so it's not convenient for me to keep you for too long. Just say hello to Xingxing and Chuchu and leave."

"Okay!" Lu Yi was very happy and got into the car with the balloon.

After arriving home, I happened to meet Huo Nanxiao who had just returned home.

Huo Nanxiao's face looked extremely bad at the moment, and he looked as if he had eaten gunpowder.

Lu Yi pretended not to see anything and followed Xia Ningxi silently.

When Xia Ningxi and Lu Yi walked past Huo Nanxiao, they clearly felt that Huo Nanxiao was looking at them, with some dissatisfaction and anger hidden deep in his eyes.

Xia Ningxi knew that he was angry, but she didn't say anything. She took Lu Yi into the house and asked the housekeeper to prepare tea for the guests.

The housekeeper was very surprised. This was the first time Xia Ningxi brought someone home alone, and he was a very handsome young man whom no one had seen before.

The housekeeper didn't dare to say anything and just obediently prepared tea.

When the servants in the house saw the handsome man's sudden visit, they hid in the dark and whispered to each other.

"Who is this guy? He's so handsome. Is he your wife's colleague?"

"This is the first time that Madam has brought a male colleague home alone."

"I don't know if he's married? Is he single? Does he have a boyfriend?"

Everyone hid in the corner and talked in low voices.

The butler was also very curious, but when he saw Huo Nanxiao walking in from the door with a dark face, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

I’m afraid this guest is not an ordinary guest.

The housekeeper reminded the servants: "Watch your mouths. Mr. Huo is back. You'd better know what to say and what not to say."

Everyone looked at each other and immediately shut up.

The butler personally made tea, prepared snacks and sent them over.

It was Lu Yi's first time as a guest, so he was very friendly to the housekeeper. He asked in a gentle voice, "Is the child home?"

"Yes." replied the butler.

Lu Yi handed the three panda balloons in his hand to the housekeeper: "I bought these balloons for them."

"Thank you." The butler took it politely.

Xia Ningxi said to the housekeeper, "Call Xingxing and Chuchu over."

"Yes, ma'am." The butler stepped back.

After a while, three children came down from the stairs.

Chu Chu saw Lu Yi and ran towards him happily: "Uncle Lu, why are you here? Chu Chu missed you so much."

Lu Yi smiled and said, "I came to Lingcheng to work and will live in Lingcheng in the future. If you miss me, I can come to play with you after get off work every day."

"Really?" Chuchu was overjoyed.

Lu Yi nodded: "Really."

"That's great!" Chuchu was very happy.

Lu Yi pointed at the balloon opposite and said, "This is the balloon I bought for you. Do you like it?"

Chuchu's eyes lit up: "I love the panda balloons! Are they all mine?"

Lu Yi smiled and said, "One for you, and the remaining two are for my brothers."

Chu Chu was very happy and gave the remaining two balloons to Huo Yuan and Xingxing.

Both little guys expressed their gratitude to Lu Yi. However, Huo Yuan was a little reserved. He was not very familiar with Lu Yi, so he stood behind his younger siblings.

As for Xingxing, she played with Lu Yi a lot when she was abroad.

The main reason was that Lu Yi’s experimental work was not done well at that time, so Xia Ningxi had to guide him step by step, and the two children could only watch them work from the side.

Lu Yi would always buy them a lot of small gifts and snacks, and over time, their relationship naturally became much closer.

Chu Chu was very attached to Lu Yi, and Xing Xing also liked him very much. Just when she was about to praise him, she saw Huo Nanxiao coming in from the door with a gloomy face.

Only then did Xingxing remember that there was another person at home.

He glanced at Xia Ningxi and asked in a low voice: "Mommy, is Daddy angry?"

Without waiting for Xia Ningxi to answer, Lu Yi smiled and said, "You are angry, right?"

Xingxing: “Why is he angry?”

Lu Yi: "Maybe you don't want to see me."

Xingxing suddenly realized and secretly glanced at Huo Nanxiao. He was indeed very angry.

Xingxing had no choice but to collect the balloon and asked, "How long will Uncle Lu stay in Lingcheng?"

Lu Yi replied: "I signed a three-year contract here. If things go well, I will settle down in Lingcheng in the future. I can come to see you and play with you anytime in the future, okay?"

"Okay, okay." Chuchu was the first to agree.

Xingxing was also very happy: "Then Uncle Lu can come and play with us every day, right?"

"As long as you don't mind, I can come to see you anytime." Lu Yi replied with a smile.

Chuchu was so happy: "Great, I like playing football with uncle, can uncle play football with us?"

"Sure." Lu Yi agreed very readily.

He acted completely out of touch with the crowd and didn't pay any attention to Huo Nanxiao who was standing next to him.

Huo Yuan, who was standing by, noticed that Huo Nanxiao was angry, so he walked to Huo Nanxiao in small steps and carefully poked the palm of Huo Nanxiao's hand.

"Is Daddy angry?" Huo Yuan asked in a low voice.

Huo Nanxiao sneered: "No."

Huo Yuan looked doubtful: "Are you really not angry? Your face is so gloomy, it's scary."

Huo Nanxiao sneered: "Your brothers and sisters like Uncle Lu so much, why don't you join them?"

Huo Yuan said: "I don't really like playing football, but if Daddy wants to play football with us, I can play with him."

Huo Nanxiao laughed out of anger. This little guy actually asked him to play football with Lu Yi?

Are you kidding me?

Huo Nanxiao was so angry that he turned around and left.

Huo Yuan looked at Xia Ningxi blankly: "Mommy, Daddy seems angry."

Xia Ningxi asked back: "Is there any day when he is not angry?"

Huo Yuan said: "Daddy has a good temper, I just think he doesn't like Uncle Lu very much."

Lu Yi smiled and replied: "Your daddy really doesn't like me, and he probably doesn't want me to come to your house, but I'm just your mommy's colleague, don't think too much about it."

Huo Yuan was skeptical: "Are they really just colleagues?"

Lu Yi just smiled and looked at the time. Five minutes were up, so he stood up and left. Before leaving, he gave a few lollipops to the three children.

Xingxing and Chuchu personally saw Lu Yi off from the Huo family, and reluctantly watched him get into the taxi.

Huo Yuan also followed to join in the fun.

After Lu Yi left, the three children went home. When they turned around, they saw Huo Nanxiao standing upstairs looking at them.

The anger in Huo Nanxiao could be sensed from a long distance away.

Everyone could see that Huo Nanxiao was angry.

Huo Yuan was a little worried: "Mommy, Daddy seems to be mad, do you want to coax him?"

Xingxing said: "Daddy is a grown man, he doesn't need to be coaxed, only children need to be coaxed."

Chuchu said: "But if Daddy gets angry, will he ignore us?"

Xingxing replied: "Hasn't he ignored us often enough? Didn't he often ignore us before?"

Chuchu thought about it carefully and realized: "Yes, Dad often ignored us before, so we should ignore him. He will get over it after a while anyway."

Xingxing nodded: "That's right."

Huo Yuan asked cautiously: "Will it be bad for us to do this?"

"What's wrong with it? I think it's great. If Uncle Lu comes tomorrow, we will play football with him. Daddy is so busy on weekdays that he doesn't have time to accompany us. He should be happy to have someone to play with us and help him take care of the children." Xingxing answered seriously.

Huo Yuan felt that there was some truth in it and he didn't bother to care whether Huo Nanxiao was unhappy or not.

The three children were playing by themselves and none of them paid any attention to Huo Nanxiao.

As for Xia Ningxi, she was a little tired after a busy day, so she went upstairs to take a hot bath.

When I came out, Huo Nanxiao was already waiting outside.

Xia Ningxi was a little surprised when she saw him: "What's the matter?"

"What's your relationship with him?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

"Lu Yi?" Xia Ningxi asked back.

Huo Nanxiao's eyes turned a little colder.

Xia Ningxi said: "We are colleagues. We used to work in the same lab. He is my junior. He is a nice person and treats children very well."

"So? Are you looking for a new father for the child?" Huo Nanxiao asked sternly.

Xia Ningxi raised her eyebrows: "Are you okay?"

"Answer me, right?" Huo Nanxiao was very angry.

Xia Ningxi snorted coldly: "So what if it is? So what if it isn't? To be frank, it has nothing to do with you. We are already divorced. Even if I find a new father for the child, I don't need to ask for your opinion."

Huo Nanxiao was so angry that he rushed to Xia Ningxi with bloodshot eyes.

Xia Ningxi was frightened by him and took a step back. She looked alert and asked, "What are you doing?"

Huo Nanxiao sneered: "What are you afraid of?"

Xia Ningxi said: "You are in a bad mood today. I hope you can calm down. What I said is the truth."

Huo Nanxiao lowered his eyes: "I have always been clear-headed. Xia Ningxi, you don't think that you can completely sever ties with me after the divorce? I tell you, it's impossible!"

He angrily grabbed Xia Ningxi's hand, forcibly pulled her into his arms, and kissed her madly on the lips, turning the corners of her lips rosy red.

Xia Ningxi struggled hard, but not only failed to break free from Huo Nanxiao, but instead angered him.

His kiss became more and more crazy, leaving a bloody mark on Xia Ningxi's lips.

Xia Ningxi was in so much pain that she cursed: "Are you born in the year of the dog? Let me go!"

Huo Nanxiao put his arms around her slender waist, and when she struggled, he lifted her up by the waist, carried her into the master bedroom, and closed and locked the door.

"What are you doing?" Xia Ningxi was panicked.

Huo Nanxiao pushed her against the door, lowered his eyes, and looked at her dangerously: "What do you think?"

"No, no way!" Xia Ningxi refused with a trembling voice.

Huo Nanxiao sneered, his cold fingers reached into her bathrobe, and he kissed her pretty neck domineeringly, all the way down.

Xia Ningxi pushed him away with all her strength, but Huo Nanxiao held her warm hands tightly, interlocking their fingers...

Huo Nanxiao's eyes were filled with greed and desire. He pinched Xia Ningxi's face, looked into her clear eyes, and said word by word: "We will never end."
