Chapter 198: Chapter 0198: Regaining mories (2) Chapter 198: Chapter 0198: Regaining mories (2) Mu Lan looked at Gu Xiaoman.
“Do I look like I’m acting? Gu Xiaoman, why would I need to act?”
Gu Xiaoman’s smile couldn’t be maintained any longer.
She glanced at Huo Tingxiao and couldn’t help but feel so sympathy in her eyes.
It was over, Mu Lan had really regained her mory, and had forgotten everything from the past few months.
“Lanlan, then…”
“So today is September 3rd?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“As long as I haven’t done anything particularly strange in the past few months, it’s fine. The doctor was right, it’s just a few months of mories; if they are forgotten, then they are forgotten.”
Mu Lan spoke in a very calm tone, so calm that it gave Huo Tingxiao the illusion that if he didn’t hold on to this person now, she would completely drift away from him the next mont.
“Mu Lan, I have sothing to tell you.”
“Sorry, I also have sothing I’d like to say, so could I speak first?”
Huo Tingxiao looked at her, even guessing what she was about to say. His heart ached, realizing how intent she had been on divorcing back then, not wanting to wait even a mont. Fearing she would speak of sothing he didn’t want to hear, he preempted her by saying:
“If what you want to talk about is divorce, I won’t agree to it.”
Mu Lan frowned, obviously not expecting him to know what she was about to say, and even less did she expect him to outright refuse. It seed he had seen the divorce agreent.
“Why? Our marriage has already reached its end.
Huo Tingxiao, if we don’t divorce, do you want us to live our entire lives respecting each other like ice until we’re old?
I’m still very young, only twenty-five. I don’t want to live like this for the rest of my life.
If you don’t agree, it’s okay, I will have a lawyer take full responsibility.”
Gu Xiaoman was dumbfounded, very uncomfortable with the Mu Lan she was seeing now—cold in speech and decisive in attitude.
She felt like she was going crazy, sothing was seriously wrong with her. If she had to choose one version of Mu Lan, Gu Xiaoman would find the heartless cares-a-damn Mu Lan cuter, even making her feel younger and more vibrant.
“Lanlan, so things have happened these past months, like…”
Mu Lan turned around and looked at Gu Xiaoman.
“No matter what has happened, my decision won’t change, we should have divorced this marriage long ago.
To be exact, this marriage was a mistake from the beginning.
Huo Tingxiao, I’ve co to understand sothing.
A lon forcibly twisted off the vine is not sweet. It’s not your fault that you don’t love , I just hope that for the little bit of affection we’ve shared over these many years as husband and wife, we can both handle this with dignity.”
Dignity? Huo Tingxiao grabbed Mu Lan’s wrist in a sudden move, his eyes swirling with emotion, as though fire could spew out at any mont, scorching Mu Lan.
“What do you an by dignity? You want to leave now and you want to preserve my dignity?
Mu Lan, do you really love , or was it the person who saved you back then?”
Mu Lan looked at Huo Tingxiao in shock.
“You… how do you know?”
Huo Tingxiao was heartbroken, so in the end, the person in her heart was never himself.
“So, you’re telling , everything was because you mistook your benefactor, and now that he has returned, you want to divorce ?”
Mu Lan struggled to maintain her elegance, having grown accustod to facing all kinds of situations over the years. Knowing how to react perfectly was a required course for a daughter-in-law of the Huo Family.
“Huo Tingxiao, we are in a hospital, a public place. I think we should find a more private location to have a proper talk.
We are both adults, there’s no reason we can’t discuss this calmly and rationally.”
Huo Tingxiao looked at Mu Lan, seething with rage.
“Calm and collected? My wife is talking about divorcing right now, how the hell can I be calm and collected?”
Mu Lan looked at Huo Tingxiao, had he just sworn? Just because she brought up divorce?
Wasn’t he supposed to be eager for a divorce?
“Huo Tingxiao…”
“Alright, alright, let’s check out of the hospital first, Yun Xi has also been treated.”
Gu Xiaoman felt that arguing in soone else’s office really was not very appropriate.
When Yun Xi learned that Mu Lan had lost her mory again, she was shocked and felt even more guilty, believing that if it hadn’t been for her montary oversight, none of this would have happened.
Back at Maple Forest Garden, Huo Tingxiao was radiating anger. Gu Xiaoman nervously sipped water, while Mu Lan, on the other hand, seed like an outsider, showing no reaction whatsoever.
My goodness, the contrast… was just too big.
No wonder Huo Tingxiao was roaring.
“If you two have sothing to say, say it nicely; I’ll excuse myself for a bit.”
As she spoke, Gu Xiaoman got up and went upstairs.
Mu Lan looked at Huo Tingxiao’s furiously angry face and felt apprehensive.
After all, she really couldn’t figure out what this man was thinking. Could it be that he felt his pride was hurt because she was the one who proposed divorce?
If that’s such a childish thought…
“Huo Tingxiao, if you feel uncomfortable about bringing up the divorce, then you be the one to propose it.”
Huo Tingxiao glared at Mu Lan, so she actually thought that he didn’t want to divorce her because of that?
“Mu Lan, you might have completely forgotten what happened these past few months, but I haven’t!”
Mu Lan was startled, what did that an? It made it sound like she had done sothing utterly outrageous.
“If I’ve done anything to hurt you, I can apologize.
As for the divorce, I think it’s sothing you’ve wanted to bring up for a long ti already, and since we’re in agreent, I really don’t think we need to waste ti.”
Huo Tingxiao watched her nonchalantly talk about divorce, as if that’s all she talked about, and he was on the verge of exploding.
He couldn’t bear to think that the woman in front of him, who had been with him just yesterday, who had exchanged so many intimate words with him, had beco soone who had forgotten everything overnight.
“So, have you made up your mind to abandon now?”
Abandon? Mu Lan was startled by Huo Tingxiao’s choice of words.
“I’m abandoning you? Huo Tingxiao, if there’s any ‘abandoning’ in our relationship, it could only be being abandoned by you, couldn’t it?”
Finally, there was so emotion in Mu Lan’s tone, a nearly whispered grievance that pained Huo Tingxiao’s heart too much.
He knew he really had no right to be here shouting at her.
But just the thought of Mu Lan leaving him to throw herself into Pei Zhao’s arms made him want to kill soone!
“I really don’t understand why you’re reacting so strongly.
If you think the divorce will affect your company’s stock price, you really don’t need to worry about it.
My presence is so insignificant, how could it have any effect?
Aside from the people of Sea City, probably many people don’t even know you were married.
Huo Tingxiao, I’m not speaking out of spite, I’ve just… co to terms with things.
I also feel that so of my past obsessive behavior has troubled you, so rest assured, from now on, I will no longer undertake any actions that you deem extre.
Oh, and about Secretary Mi, I really did misunderstand her before, you were right, I was too sensitive, so… I…
I sincerely apologize to you.”
