Huo Nanxiao's kiss completely devoured Xia Ningxi.

He vented all his dissatisfaction during this period on Xia Ningxi.

He was going crazy with jealousy.

This night was very long.

The three children waited in their room for a long time but Xia Ningxi did not come to see them.

Huo Yuan ran out of the door holding a carrot pillow and bumped into the housekeeper who was walking towards him.

The housekeeper smiled and said, "Where are you going, Master Yuan?"

Huo Yuan said: "Where is Mommy? Why doesn't she come to sleep with us?"

The housekeeper smiled and replied, "You and your father have rested. You should go to bed well tonight."

"Are they together?" Huo Yuan opened his eyes wide with a confused look on his face.

The butler nodded: "That's right."

"Okay then, we'll sleep by ourselves, no need for mommy to accompany us." Huo Yuan went back to the house holding the small pillow.

Xingxing and Chuchu both stretched their heads and were surprised to see that Huo Yuan was the only one coming back.

Chuchu asked in a baby voice, "Where's Mommy? Why is my brother the only one back?"

Huo Yuan said: "Mommy and Daddy are resting and don't have time to take care of us."

Xingxing tilted her head suspiciously: "When did Mommy and Daddy get so close? Didn't Mommy always ignore Daddy?"

Huo Yuan replied: "The housekeeper said they were resting and asked us not to disturb Mommy's sleep."

Xingxing was a little disappointed: "Okay, then we'll go to bed by ourselves."

Chuchu held the tablet and said, "Let's listen to ghost stories together?"

"I don't want it." Huo Yuan was the first to refuse.

Chuchu smiled and said, "Brother Yuan is timid."

Xingxing took the tablet and clicked on the ghost story: "Then listen to the ghost story. Don't cry, little sister."

Chuchu was so scared that he quickly covered his ears.

The stars laughed happily.

Huo Yuan said, "Let's change the story. I don't like ghost stories."

"How about watching cartoons?" Xingxing suggested.

Chuchu nodded immediately.

The three little ones sat on the bed and watched cartoons obediently. I don’t know why they fell asleep later.

It was already daybreak when I woke up.

What surprised them was that Mommy hadn't come back to be with them yet.

Huo Yuan missed Xia Ningxi very much, so he had to go to Xia Ningxi's room to look for her, but in the end he only saw Huo Nanxiao.

Huo Yuan asked doubtfully: "Daddy, where is Mommy?"

Huo Nanxiao had just woken up. Facing Huo Yuan's doubts, he picked up Huo Yuan and hugged the little guy carefully: "Why did you wake up so early? Did you have a nightmare?"

Huo Yuan shook his head: "I didn't have a nightmare, I just missed my mommy."

"She went to work." Huo Nanxiao replied.

Huo Yuan whispered, "Mommy has been so busy lately and has no time to play with us."

Huo Nanxiao said, "What do you want to play? It's the same if I play with you."

Huo Yuan shook his head: "No, I like Mommy, I like playing with Mommy."

"Then don't you like your brothers and sisters?" Huo Nanxiao asked back.

Huo Yuan said: "I like my brothers and sisters too."

Huo Nanxiao said, "How about this, after breakfast, I'll take you to see your mommy at her workplace."

"Okay, I'll go back and change my clothes." Huo Yuan immediately ran to report the news to his younger brothers and sisters.

Xingxing and Chuchu immediately changed into their best clothes, and after breakfast, they followed Huo Nanxiao to the hospital.

Xia Ningxi had an operation to perform in the morning and was busy until noon when the operation was over.

When Xia Ningxi returned to the clinic and saw Huo Nanxiao and his three children sitting on the chair like a deceased lady, she was a little surprised. She asked, "Why are you here?"

Chuchu immediately took a cup of milk tea and ran forward: "Mommy, you have worked hard, have some milk tea."

Xia Ningxi took it with a smile, took a sip and found it tasted good. She smiled and asked, "Where did you buy it?"

Chuchu replied: "It's in the milk tea shop opposite our hospital. Do you like milk tea? I will buy milk tea for you every day from now on."

Xia Ningxi rubbed her little head: "Thank you Chuchu."

Chuchu said, "There are other flavors here, Mommy can try them too."

Chu Chu had just finished speaking when Lu Yi walked in from the door. He asked, "Can I have a taste too?"

Chuchu blinked: "Uncle Lu, are you off work too?"

"Yes." Lu Yi nodded, took a look at the milk tea, and said, "I'm thirsty too, and I want to drink milk tea, Chuchu, are you willing to let me have a sip?"

"Sure." Chuchu turned around and went to the table to get it: "There are still several cups, with all kinds of flavors. Uncle Lu, please see which one you like."

Lu Yi smiled and said, "It's all fine. I'm not picky."

Chuchu said: "Then drink this cup of strawberry-flavored milk tea. I like strawberries."

"Okay." Lu Yi took it, opened the straw and started drinking naturally, not caring who was sitting next to him. He found an empty seat and sat down as if no one was around.

He ignored Huo Nanxiao and asked Xia Ningxi, "I heard that you love Hunan cuisine. There's a new Hunan restaurant nearby. The food is very good. Let's go try it together. I'll treat you."

"No, that's too much trouble." Xia Ningxi refused subconsciously.

Lu Yi said, "It's not a problem at all. If you hadn't reacted quickly, the operation wouldn't have gone so smoothly. I just have some questions that I want to ask you. Let's discuss them over dinner. This dinner will be my tuition for asking you for advice."

Xia Ningxi couldn't refuse after hearing this, so she simply accepted his invitation.

Lu Yi glanced at Huo Nanxiao who was sitting next to him and asked with a smile: "Mr. Huo, don't you have to go to work? If you are free, why don't we go out for dinner together?"

"Okay." Huo Nanxiao agreed readily.

Lu Yi: "It seems that Mr. Huo is really hungry."

Huo Nanxiao said: "It's rare to have time to go out for a meal with my wife and children. It's a good thing to have someone treat us."

Lu Yi raised his eyebrows: "I'm afraid there is no Mr. Huo's wife here? If there is, it's just your ex-wife."

"None of this matters." Huo Nanxiao was not angry. He held Huo Yuan's wrist with one hand and Xia Ningxi's wrist with the other, and said to Chu Chu and Xingxing beside him, "Let's go downstairs."

The two little guys looked at each other and cast inquiring glances at Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi was a little embarrassed. She said to Lu Yi, "Why don't you eat by yourself? It's not convenient for me to take care of the children. We can discuss work matters when we have time."

Lu Yi said: "I'm quite free right now, so there's no need to find another time, let's do it now."

"Okay then." Xia Ningxi agreed reluctantly.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Lu Yi booked a private room, called the chef over, and ordered a number of dishes that the children could eat. The rest were all Xia Ningxi's favorites. Since there were only a few of them, Lu Yi ordered eighteen dishes.

After that, he directly returned the menu to the waiter and did not let Huo Nanxiao touch the menu from beginning to end.

Lu Yi was not afraid that Huo Nanxiao would get angry, so he asked with a smile, "I heard that Mr. Huo doesn't like spicy food, so why don't you eat it with the kids?"

Huo Nanxiao asked back: "Are you always so free?"

Lu Yi said, "Not really. I'm very busy on weekdays, but no matter how busy I am, I still have time to eat with Ning Xi."

"It seems that you do have some value." Huo Nanxiao was very calm.

Lu Yi asked back, "Mr. Huo is younger than I thought. I thought a man who had been married several times would be at least 40 or 50 years old."

Huo Nanxiao's eyes turned a little colder.

Lu Yi: "I'm so sorry, I almost forgot that this is not a glorious thing. Mr. Huo probably doesn't want outsiders to mention it."

Huo Nanxiao sneered: "It's not a big deal. After all, we already have a child."

The three children sitting in the middle looked at Lu Yi, then at Huo Nanxiao. They could tell that the two were fighting.

The three children didn't know what to say for a moment and could only look at Xia Ningxi for help.

Xia Ningxi poured a cup of tea for Huo Nanxiao: "Have some tea."

Seeing this, Lu Yi immediately said, "Ning Xi, I want to drink tea too."

Xia Ningxi said: "Don't you like coffee?"

Lu Yi was surprised: "I didn't expect that you still remember my preferences after such a long time."

Huo Nanxiao, who was standing next to him, turned pale when he heard this.

Xia Ningxi sat aside and clearly felt the anger erupting from Huo Nanxiao. She silently swallowed a sip of tea.

Lu Yi personally poured Xia Ningxi a glass of mango juice and said, "I also remember that you love freshly squeezed fruit juice. The mango juice here tastes especially good. Try it and see if it tastes the same as the one we drank before."

He handed the juice to Xia Ningxi, and every word he spoke showed that they were very familiar with each other.

Huo Nanxiao sat aside and listened quietly. He didn't know that Xia Ningxi and Lu Yi had such a good relationship.

Xia Ningxi felt uncomfortable under his cold gaze and subconsciously explained, "I forgot that I used to like drinking mango juice."

Lu Yi: "I haven't forgotten. I remember it very clearly."

Xia Ningxi said: "Why do you remember these things? I don't think we were so familiar with each other before?"

"Why aren't you familiar with me? When I was doing experiments in the past, I stayed up all night long, and you were always there with me. If you hadn't been by my side to encourage and support me, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I wouldn't have become an excellent doctor." Lu Yi answered very seriously.

But these words, in this situation, sounded like a confession.

Xia Ningxi was very embarrassed.

Huo Nanxiao looked at Lu Yi coldly, "And then? Do you still want to say that you like Xia Ningxi, that you came to Lingcheng for Xia Ningxi, and that you want to pursue her and be with her?"

"Isn't this possible?" Lu Yi asked back. He didn't think it was shameful. On the contrary, he felt that pursuing Xia Ningxi was a very face-saving thing.

It is hard to find such an excellent doctor like Xia Ningxi both at home and abroad. She is young, beautiful and capable. Who wouldn't like such a person?

Lu Yi said to Huo Nanxiao: "There are many people who like Ning Xi, and I am one of them. She is single now, so it is normal for me to pursue her. Mr. Huo, you don't think that your identity as an ex-husband can stop others from pursuing Ning Xi, right?"

"Are you worthy?" Huo Nanxiao's eyes were filled with anger.

Lu Yi said: "It's not up to Mr. Huo to say whether they are a good match or not. Who can say for sure about love? When the feeling comes, love comes. I like Xia Ningxi. If she likes me too, we can be together. Do you still want to stop us?"

Huo Nanxiao was so angry that he laughed.

Lu Yi: "Boss Huo must be hungry, eat more. I heard that the wine in this restaurant is not bad. I know Boss Huo is a wine tasting enthusiast, so I opened a bottle of 800,000 red wine just for you. Please try it."

He asked the waiter to pour Huo Nanxiao a glass of red wine.

Eight hundred thousand is a sky-high price for ordinary people, but for Lu Yi, it is just eighty yuan.

Just because Huo Nanxiao is rich doesn’t mean Lu Yi is poor.

Since he dared to pursue Xia Ningxi, his own conditions must be good.

Huo Nanxiao glanced at the red wine glass indifferently and did not move.

Lu Yi: "It seems that Mr. Huo doesn't like the wine here. I happen to own a winery. How about this, I'll have someone send you a batch of red wine in a few days, and let Ning Xi taste it by the way. My family not only has several gold mines, but also several wineries. Even if I don't work, I can still live a good life."

"If Ning Xi brings the child to live with me, I will never let them suffer, so you can rest assured."

Huo Nanxiao was so angry that he laughed.

He didn't know where Lu Yi got his confidence from? He actually thought Xia Ningxi would marry him?

There is absolutely no possibility of this!

Huo Nanxiao said to the waiter, "Serve the food. If there were two more dishes on the table, Dr. Lu wouldn't be so drunk."

The waiter's mouth twitched.

The three children were giggling with joy beside them.
