Chapter 171: Chapter 0171: I Will Explain Everything You Want to Know Chapter 171: Chapter 0171: I Will Explain Everything You Want to Know Mu Huaifeng’s gaze was cold and stern as he stared at Huo Tingxiao.
“Whether it has anything to do with you, you know very well yourself!”
Huo Tingxiao faced Mu Huaifeng without any fear, and spoke each word with gravity.
“I admit I didn’t pay enough attention to Mu Lan before, but the car accident had nothing to do with . I won’t accept baseless and malicious speculations without any evidence.”
Mu Huaifeng’s eyes were filled with intense anger, and beneath that anger were emotions only he knew.
“You still have the face to say you didn’t pay enough attention to Mu Lan, Huo Tingxiao, I warn you, stay away from my sister.”
Their gazes t; one filled with towering rage, the other calm yet suppressed. Before Huo Tingxiao could speak again, Mu Huaifeng suddenly made a move. Huo Tingxiao hadn’t expected him to resort to violence again; he was sluggish due to a sleepless night, but fortunately, he dodged the punch in ti.
Huo Tingxiao looked at Mu Huaifeng, his gaze suppressing his rage.
“Seeing that you are Lanlan’s elder brother, I won’t hit back, but don’t push your luck too far.”
Mu Huaifeng’s look was terrifying, even murderous; he saw the hurt Mu Lan had endured, and yet Huo Tingxiao dared to defy him here.
“You still have the audacity to talk about pushing luck? You’ve overstepped ti and again, have you ever thought about how saddened Lanlan has been?”
The anger in Huo Tingxiao was instantly extinguished by Mu Huaifeng’s words, his throat turned sore, unable to utter a single word in defense, his heart full of guilt towards Mu Lan.
But Mu Huaifeng didn’t let him off, continuing to twist the knife in Huo Tingxiao’s heart.
“The thing I regret most now is not objecting to her marrying you, which let her get hurt over and over.”
Huo Tingxiao tried to appear less distraught, but internally he was utterly defeated; Mu Huaifeng was right, he couldn’t deny it even if he wanted to.
“Mr. Huo…”
He Yan was holding a paper bag with clothes inside, observing the confrontation between the two n, he noticed that the cut on Huo Tingxiao’s lip had already scabbed over.
Mu Huaifeng didn’t want to waste more ti, turned around and left, believing that this ti Mu Lan would definitely not forgive Huo Tingxiao. If Huo Tingxiao had any sha left, he should know what to do, or if he still stubbornly resisted, they might as well destroy each other.
After changing his clothes and tidying up briefly, Huo Tingxiao went to visit.
Shen Ying did not expect him to arrive so early; normally, she would have asked if he had eaten breakfast, but today, feeling annoyed, she refrained from saying more.
“Lanlan is still sleeping, if you want to wait, suit yourself.”
Her tone was distant and indifferent, very different from before; Huo Tingxiao nodded.
“Thank you.”
Shen Ying frowned, watching Huo Tingxiao’s haggard face and the dark circles under his eyes, clearly showing he had also had a rough night.
It was the first ti she saw her son-in-law in such a disheveled state, and she couldn’t say it didn’t touch her.
But thinking of her daughter’s condition, Shen Ying hardened her heart, got up, and went to the garden, completely ignoring Huo Tingxiao as if he were invisible.
When Mu Lan woke up, it was nearly noon, and her headache was severe, obviously having had a restless sleep.
After washing up, Mu Lan, dressed in fresh ho clothes, ca downstairs.
She imdiately saw Huo Tingxiao sitting on the sofa.
The mont their eyes t, Huo Tingxiao’s stagnant gaze instantly ca alive.
“You’re awake.”
Mu Lan frowned, looked around, and noticed Huo Tingxiao was the only one in the living room.
“Mom is in the garden.”
Huo Tingxiao’s use of “Mom” stirred an indescribable feeling in Mu Lan’s heart.
“Calm down?”
Huo Tingxiao watched her, his eyes intensely earnest, causing Mu Lan to fidget uncomfortably.
His gaze was so intense and fierce it seed it could burn her to ashes at any minute.
“Do you think what I said yesterday was all nonsense?”
Mu Lan remained silent, while Huo Tingxiao cut to the chase directly, leaving her with no escape.
“I love you.”
Staring unwaveringly at Huo Tingxiao, Mu Lan tried to appear calm, unaware that her fingers were twisted nervously, a tingling sensation rushing from her coccyx to her fingertips.
All she could mutter was:
“You really are crazy.”
Huo Tingxiao’s gaze was intense.
“I only see clearly my feelings for you, Lanlan. The reason I disagree with the divorce is because I don’t want a divorce, not because I fear it would affect the company’s stock price, or the Huo family’s reputation, or anything else.
It’s simply because I love you.”
Shen Ying stood at the entrance, unsure how to react upon hearing the conversation in the living room.
She didn’t even know whether she should pretend she hadn’t heard anything and just leave, or continue listening.
Mu Lan took a few deep breaths. She couldn’t describe her emotions at that mont.
“Huo Tingxiao, if it were the Mu Lan of the past, maybe she would have been moved by your confession, and might even have felt that her patience had finally paid off.
But, you should know, the person in front of you is the Mu Lan who has lost her mory.
I simply do not rember ever loving you so deeply. I don’t have those mories.
So, I…”
Shen Ying’s eyes widened, and she covered her mouth in disbelief, afraid to make a sound.
Amnesia? How could her daughter have amnesia?
Huo Tingxiao looked at Mu Lan’s bewildered expression, feeling even more disheartened.
So everything was fate. If he had confessed everything to her earlier, perhaps they wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.
“You might not believe , but I will prove it to you.
Everything I’m saying is true, and you do have feelings for , even if you’ve lost your mory. You just aren’t sure of it yourself yet.”
Mu Lan looked at Huo Tingxiao in surprise, not expecting him to understand her inner turmoil. She averted her gaze, unsure of what to say. She was not very good at hiding her feelings.
“All I want is for you to give a chance, at least to not reject the idea that I love you.
The matter with Pei Zhao, I will also sort it out. It wasn’t that I was indifferent to you yesterday when I had Yun Xi go to Gu Xiaoman’s place; it was because… I thought you wouldn’t want to see at that ti.”
Huo Tingxiao’s words slightly unnerved Mu Lan.
Should she believe what he was saying? Or…
Mu Lan felt she was truly pathetic. She had been so confident before, and now his words had completely swept her off her feet.
She felt as if there was a huge rock in her chest, making her uncomfortable.
“Anything you want to know, I’ll explain it to you.”
Mu Lan pursed her lips.
“Then what else do you know?”
Huo Tingxiao paused for a mont, recalling the contents of his phone.
Especially those emails…
If he told her, would she forgive him? His heart was filled with uncertainty.
“There’s more…”
