She Lost Memory Before the Divorce
Chapter 293 - Chapter 293 Chapter 0293 Intentionally Making My Heart Ache

Chapter 293: Chapter 0293: Intentionally Making My Heart Ache? Chapter 293: Chapter 0293: Intentionally Making My Heart Ache? Mu Lan was soft in his arms, taking deep breaths, knowing full well it was the wrong place that saved her life, otherwise…

When she finally regained normal breathing, she urged him impatiently.

“Just lie down and rest for a while,”

There was a smile in Huo Tingxiao’s eyes.

“Don’t worry, I’m not that heartless.”

Reluctantly letting go of Mu Lan, Huo Tingxiao took off his jacket and lay down on the hospital bed.

Mu Lan sat by the bed, her deep black eyes fixed on her, while Huo Tingxiao held her soft little hand.

Looking up, his gaze stuck to her and wouldn’t move away.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

Remembering the kiss they just shared, Mu Lan’s face turned red again.

Official reconciliation was one thing, but she still wasn’t quite comfortable with his gaze, it was too… intrusive.

“I’m afraid this is all a dream,”

Mu Lan looked at him as he spoke these earnest words, and her heart grew heavy.

The fearless Huo Tingxiao also had his fears.

“You’ve already kissed me, and yet you say these things? Are you trying to make my heart ache?”

Huo Tingxiao’s lips curled into a smile, his handsome face looking much gentler, especially those eyes, which seemed to drip with tenderness.

“It’s all true, Mu Lan, I thought I’d never hear you forgive me.

I was prepared for that, thinking as long as you were by my side, I’d be content.”

Mu Lan felt a sourness in her nose, reminded of past events.

“You talk as if I had treated you terribly before, Huo Tingxiao, you really know how to hit where it hurts.”

Her tone was a bit blaming yet somewhat coquettish.

Huo Tingxiao lifted her hand to his lips and kissed it gently.

“You are my weakness, I just want to see you happy, to see you smile.

I hate that I can’t bear your sadness for you.

Mu Lan, my heart is full of you,”

Mu Lan’s hand was placed by Huo Tingxiao over his heart, its drum-like beats thumping against her palm.

If these words had been spoken before, Mu Lan would never have believed them, but now she didn’t want to keep guessing, she wanted to trust him once more.

“Got it, stop feeding me these cheesy lines, close your eyes and sleep.”

Huo Tingxiao obediently closed his eyes as soon as she finished speaking.

Yet, he still held onto her hand, not letting go.

Perhaps too tired, or maybe too comforted, Huo Tingxiao’s breathing soon became even and regular.

Mu Lan knew he was really asleep as she gently withdrew her hand and carefully exited the hospital room.

She took out her phone, called Tang Xin, and made arrangements and instructions; there were still legal matters to continue and issues with the dress to resolve, Tang Xin just had to follow her orders.

After sorting out the studio, she called Mu Huaifeng–Huo Family affairs could be turbulent, she couldn’t trust anyone else, so she had to turn to Mu Huaifeng.

Mu Huaifeng didn’t delay, nor was he worried about what the Huo Family members might think, and he immediately headed to the hospital.

“How are you? Did the Huo Family trouble you?”

Mu Lan saw her brother like this and couldn’t help but laugh.

“Brother, I’m fine, really,”

Mu Huaifeng knew well what the Huo Family members were like, each with their own schemes. With the sudden hospitalization of old Mr. Huo, everyone was eyeing each other like tigers, possibly ready to create chaos.

“And Huo Tingxiao? How come he’s just…”

Mu Lan placed a finger to her lips, signaling him to speak softly, then glanced at the hospital room door.

“He’s resting inside.”

Seeing her like this, Mu Huaifeng guessed that the two of them had reconciled.

Although he knew it was inevitable, as her brother, his feelings were still complicated.

“You made up that quickly? Don’t tell me you got confused from heartache over this incident?”

Mu Lan playfully glared at Mu Huaifeng.

“Brother, at a time like this, you’re still joking around?”

Mu Huaifeng looked utterly frustrated, as if lamenting over unreached potential.

“You, why can’t you just strive to be better? You’re going to be completely at his mercy in the future.

Playing the pity card made you surrender? Have you forgotten how you’ve lived these past few years?”

Mu Lan couldn’t help but sigh as she looked at Mu Huaifeng.

“Brother, that’s not what you said before. You told me to clearly see what’s in my heart.

And now you’re blaming me? What exactly do you want me to do?”

Mu Huaifeng was taken aback by her retort.

“You just know how to oppose me, daring to use that little ability against me.”

Mu Lan felt guilty from his words.

“But he really is in a miserable state right now, I… ”

“Yeah, I knew it’s because he’s miserable that you’re so good to him, right?”

Mu Lan truly felt that Mu Huaifeng was becoming more and more childish.

“Alright, alright, you’re right, I don’t want to argue with you.”

Actually, Mu Huaifeng understood very well in his heart that Mu Lan had never let go of Huo Tingxiao, but he, as her elder brother, felt irrationally resentful.

What is it about this Huo guy? Why does he deserve her sister’s undying loyalty?

Yet, he had no choice but to compromise, as long as Mu Lan was happy, he, Mu Huaifeng, was happy.

In the world, there was nothing more important to him than Mu Lan’s happiness.

Looking at Mu Lan tenderly, Mu Huaifeng’s tone also softened a lot.

“What does he plan to do about the Huo Family’s matter?”

This really stumped Mu Lan; she didn’t know what Huo Tingxiao planned, and she rarely meddled in the company’s affairs, mainly because she couldn’t help much, and asking was also in vain.

“I don’t know.”

Mu Huaifeng frowned.

“What’s his problem, keeping such things from you? You don’t know what his plans are?”

Mu Lan awkwardly scratched the corner of her mouth.

“Knowing wouldn’t help, I couldn’t offer any help anyway, and he probably kept it from me so I wouldn’t worry. Don’t blame him.”

Mu Huaifeng was really about to explode, knowing nothing yet defending someone.

“You… never mind, asking you is pointless, I’ll ask Huo Tingxiao myself when he’s available.”

“Brother, are you planning to help him?”

“Do you want me to help or not?”

Mu Lan candidly said:

“Of course, I do, but I was afraid you’d be upset, so I didn’t dare to mention it.”

Mu Huaifeng looked at her, his smile not quite reaching his eyes.

“Do you think I don’t know what you’re really thinking? If I said I wouldn’t help, would you agree?”

Mu Lan honestly shook her head.

“But, don’t alert him prematurely, you know what kind of person Huo Tingxiao is, a man of strong pride. He definitely wouldn’t want me interfering in his matters.

So… even if you want to help, do it secretly, okay?”

Mu Huaifeng wondered, helping someone secretly and playing the unsung hero, was there such a good thing as that?

“I’m already being kind by not taking advantage of the situation. Now, in your eyes, there’s only your husband, no brother. Ingrate, have you forgotten who fought against all objections for you two to get married?”

Mu Lan pursed her lips.

“Leave me some dignity, I’m also an entrepreneur now, brother, please, can you?”

Looking at those innocent big eyes in front of him, who could resist? He must have owed her a lot in a previous life, and he was repaying it in this one.

Before he could speak, the door to the room suddenly opened.

“We need to talk.”

Huo Tingxiao stood there, startling Mu Lan.
