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 some sympathy in her eyes.
It was over, Mu Lan had really regained her memory, 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 memories; 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 moment.
“Mu Lan, I have something to tell you.”
“Sorry, I also have something 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 moment. Fearing she would speak of something 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 seemed he had seen the divorce agreement.
“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, something 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, some 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 come to understand something.
A melon forcibly twisted off the vine is not sweet. It’s not your fault that you don’t love me, 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 moment, scorching Mu Lan.
“What do you mean by dignity? You want to leave me now and you want me to preserve my dignity?
Mu Lan, do you really love me, 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 me, everything was because you mistook your benefactor, and now that he has returned, you want to divorce me?”
Mu Lan struggled to maintain her elegance, having grown accustomed 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 me 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 someone else’s office really was not very appropriate.
When Yun Xi learned that Mu Lan had lost her memory again, she was shocked and felt even more guilty, believing that if it hadn’t been for her momentary 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, seemed 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 something 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 me 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 mean? It made it sound like she had done something utterly outrageous.
“If I’ve done anything to hurt you, I can apologize.
As for the divorce, I think it’s something you’ve wanted to bring up for a long time already, and since we’re in agreement, I really don’t think we need to waste time.”
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 become someone who had forgotten everything overnight.
“So, have you made up your mind to abandon me 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 me being abandoned by you, couldn’t it?”
Finally, there was some 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 someone!
“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… come to terms with things.
I also feel that some of my past obsessive behavior has troubled you, so rest assured, from now on, I will no longer undertake any actions that you deem extreme.
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.”
