Lu Yi could see that Huo Nanxiao was very dissatisfied with him, but Lu Yi didn't care about Huo Nanxiao's ridicule at all. He personally picked up a piece of grilled lamb chop and put it in Xia Ningxi's bowl. He said, "This grilled lamb chop is very good. You should try it."

"Thank you." Xia Ningxi ate the lamb chops silently.

Huo Nanxiao looked at Lu Yi coldly, "Doctor Lu seems to be good at serving people."

Lu Yi replied: "I have a younger sister at home. I used to cook and take care of her. I'm used to this kind of thing."

"Why don't you help me get a piece of lamb chop?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Lu Yi said, "Boss Huo's hands are so long, I don't need to take care of them, right?"

Huo Nanxiao said: "You are so good at taking care of people, it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less, right?"

"How can you compare with Ning Xi? I am willing to take care of her, but other people may not be so lucky. Mr. Huo should not be angry over such a small matter, right?" Lu Yi asked back.

The quiet box was filled with a tense atmosphere.

The three children were stuck in the middle, not knowing whether to eat or not.

Finally, the three of them decided to put all the remaining lamb chops into their bowls.

Huo Yuan said, "We've finished eating the lamb chops. You don't have to quarrel anymore."

Lu Yi laughed out loud: "Boss Huo, it's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that we don't have any left."

Huo Yuan gave a piece of the lamb chop in his bowl to Huo Nanxiao: "Daddy, have mine. I just tried it and it tastes pretty good, but not as good as what our chef makes."

Huo Nanxiao was in a good mood.

He said to Huo Yuan, "I'll ask the cook to make some more for you tomorrow."

"Okay." Huo Yuan was very happy.

Huo Nanxiao ignored Lu Yi anymore.

The lunch was quite sumptuous and the food didn't cost much, but that bottle of wine worth eight hundred thousand was not cheap at all.

Lu Yi knew that Huo Nanxiao was rich, but he was naturally unhappy when Huo Nanxiao humiliated him as a pauper.

After lunch, Lu Yi went straight to pay the bill, and he didn't even frown when he swiped the card.

Xia Ningxi was also asked to take the remaining red wine back to taste.

Xia Ningxi refused.

Lu Yi said, "I don't drink much red wine either. I heard that Mr. Huo lives with you, so you can bring some back for him. When he's in a bad mood, he can drink a few more glasses to relieve his depression."

These words were directed at Huo Nanxiao.

Mocking Huo Nanxiao, he was just Xia Ningxi's ex-husband, no matter how angry he was, he was still just an ex-husband.

Even if he pursued Xia Ningxi, Huo Nanxiao couldn't do anything to him.

Full of provocation.

Xia Ningxi also saw it, so she naturally wouldn't let them do as they pleased.

She decisively rejected Lu Yi's proposal and said, "No, Huo Nanxiao doesn't drink."

Huo Nanxiao raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Since it's a gift from Doctor Lu, accept it."

Xia Ningxi looked at Huo Nanxiao in surprise.

Huo Nanxiao said to the restaurant manager, "Save the wine. Next time Dr. Lu comes over, give him some. Just consider it my treat."

"Okay, Mr. Huo." The restaurant manager took the wine away directly.

Lu Yi was stunned and looked at Huo Nanxiao in surprise.

Huo Nanxiao spoke slowly: "I forgot to tell Dr. Lu that I opened this restaurant specifically for Xia Ningxi. You can come anytime you want in the future. The manager will give you a 20% discount in my name."

Lu Yi laughed angrily.

Huo Nanxiao said: "Thank you Dr. Lu for the treat. I will treat you next time if I have the chance."

After leaving a few words, Huo Nanxiao held Xia Ningxi's hand and entered the elevator.

The remaining three children hurriedly caught up.

Before leaving, he did not forget to wave goodbye to Lu Yi.

It was not until the elevator door closed that Lu Yi recovered from his shock. How come he didn't know that Huo Nanxiao was the owner of this restaurant?

Also, since Huo Nanxiao is the owner of the restaurant, why couldn't he make it clear at the beginning?

Huo Nanxiao must be teasing him.

Lu Yi was very angry.

But Huo Nanxiao had already walked far away. Even if he was angry, he couldn't do anything to Huo Nanxiao. He could only leave quietly.

As for Huo Nanxiao, after the three children got in the car, he sent Xia Ningxi, who had eaten and drunk her fill, to the hospital.

Xia Ningxi was very surprised. She asked Huo Nanxiao: "When did you open the restaurant?"

"You said last month that the food in the cafeteria was not tasty and you wanted to eat spicy food. I remember you loved Hunan cuisine very much." Huo Nanxiao spoke slowly.

Xia Ningxi said: "That was just a casual complaint from me."

Huo Nanxiao handed a membership card to Xia Ningxi: "From now on, just swipe this card and order any dish you want. Just treat it as your own cafeteria."

Xia Ningxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How long has your restaurant been open?"

Huo Nanxiao asked: "How long will you stay in Lingcheng?"

"Not sure, I still have a lot of work to do here." Xia Ningxi replied.

Huo Nanxiao said: "The restaurant will be open 24 hours a day. You can go there anytime when you are hungry. If you don't like home-cooked meals and want to work in other cities, I can open a few more branches."

The three children's eyes lit up when they heard this.

Xingxing was shocked: "Won't this cost a lot of money?"

Chu Chu said, "Dad, isn't this a bit wasteful? You're not thrifty at all."

Huo Nanxiao couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "What else do you want to be frugal? Isn't this good enough? You can eat whatever you want."

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

She knew that Huo Nanxiao was doing this for her own good, and she also knew that Huo Nanxiao was trying to please her, but for some reason, Xia Ningxi felt a lot of pressure.

She said nothing, returned to the hospital, and after arranging for her three children, Xia Ningxi went to work.

Tang En heard from somewhere that Huo Nanxiao had opened a restaurant for Xia Ningxi, and he came to Xia Ningxi to inquire about it.

Tang En was surprised to learn that the restaurant was located next to their hospital. "I often go to that restaurant. The chef's cooking skills are very good. The doctors and nurses in our hospital love to eat there. I didn't expect it was opened by Huo Nanxiao."

Xia Ningxi smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that either."

Tang En said, "Is this guy planning to live in Lingcheng forever? He's already opened a restaurant, it's obvious that he wants to pester you."

Xia Ningxi had a headache: "It seems so."

"So what do you think? How about you go abroad with me and develop our business overseas? I'll arrange for you to work in the national security department, so that Huo Nanxiao won't be able to find you." Tang En proposed boldly.

Xia Ningxi said: "No, if I go with you, what will happen to the child?"

"Of course you'll go with us. Would I let you abandon the children and elope with me?" Tang En asked with a smile.

Xia Ningxi said: "It's not that I hate Huo Nanxiao, I just don't know what to do."

Tang En said: "If you don't know, just live your life slowly. After a long time, you will know what you want most."

"I still can't let it go." Xia Ningxi bit her lips, feeling very complicated.

Tang En smiled bitterly: "I know that what Huo Nanxiao did before was indeed very annoying, but everything is in the past. We should look forward. If he still has you in his heart, you can't escape even if you want to. You might as well be honest with him."

Xia Ningxi fell silent.

They have been together for so many years, but it seems like they have never been honest with each other.

Over the years, Huo Nanxiao has always had someone else in his heart.

Even though he chose Xia Ningxi now, she was not sure whether this was Huo Nanxiao's true thought.

Xia Ningxi knew that Huo Nanxiao was not a person who would always be in love. He was willing to give everything for Xia Ningxi now, but what about in the future? Would he be willing in the future?

After all, people change.

Xia Ningxi didn't know what Huo Nanxiao would become, so she didn't dare to gamble.

She did not continue discussing this topic with Tang En. After a busy day's work, she returned to the clinic exhausted and packed her things.

Seeing Huo Nanxiao and the three children sitting obediently in the clinic waiting for her, Xia Ningxi felt very complicated.

She approached the children and found that they were already asleep.

These days, as long as Huo Nanxiao is free, he will bring his children to the hospital every day to wait for her to get off work.

If Xia Ningxi worked overtime, they would sit in the clinic the whole time. Many times, when Xia Ningxi returned to the clinic, Huo Nanxiao and the child were already asleep.

She remembered that Huo Nanxiao in the past would never wait for her to get off work, let alone care about her so much.

"Let's go home." This time, Xia Ningxi took the initiative to speak.

Huo Nanxiao asked in a low voice: "Are you done?"

"Yeah." Xia Ningxi nodded.

Huo Nanxiao picked up the sleeping Chu Chu.

Xia Ningxi stepped forward to hug Xingxing and Huo Yuan, but was stopped by Huo Nanxiao.

He called the bodyguards in and took Xingxing and Huo Yuan away.

Chu Chu grew older and more beautiful. As long as Huo Nanxiao was around, he would not let strangers take Chu Chu away. He basically took care of Chu Chu himself, for fear that others would take advantage of Chu Chu.

Huo Nanxiao personally goes to the kindergarten to pick up the children after school.

After arriving in Lingcheng, most of the tasks of taking care of the children fell on Huo Nanxiao, and Xia Ningxi actually did nothing.

Seeing Huo Nanxiao carrying Chu Chu downstairs, Xia Ningxi followed.

It was late at night and there were not many cars on the way back. The dim lights cast on the road, which looked empty and lonely.

Xia Ningxi looked at Huo Nanxiao's profile. He was holding the sleeping Chu Chu in his arms. His eyes were kind. He did not have the sharpness he had when he looked at Lu Yi during the day, nor the indifference he had towards outsiders.

There is no doubt that Huo Nanxiao is very good to children.

Xia Ningxi said: "You don't have to wait for me in the hospital anymore."

"Why?" Huo Nanxiao asked back.

Xia Ningxi said: "Every time you come, the children have to wait with you. It's very tiring."

"I won't bring them next time." Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Ningxi said: "I mean you don't have to come either."

Huo Nanxiao held Chuchu's hand tighter: "So you have made a choice?"

Xia Ningxi looked at him suspiciously.

Huo Nanxiao asked word by word: "So, do you want to choose Lu Yi?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xia Ningxi was so angry that she laughed.

Huo Nanxiao said, "You've only worked with him for a few days and you're already feeling sorry for him? You even gave up your child to take care of his feelings? Will you tell me next that you have to work and can't go home, and then live a happy life with Lu Yi just the two of you?"
