She Lost Memory Before the Divorce-Chapter 142 - 0 Huo Tingxiao Definitely Likes You

Chapter 142 -0142 Huo Tingxiao Definitely Likes You

Mu Lan was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly and decisively denied it.

“Give me a break, why would I like him? A stoic stinky uncle, my taste isn’t that bad.”

Gu Xiaoman curled her lip.

“I call bull, we’ve been besties for so many years, and you think I don’t know you?

Look at that peachy look in your eyes, you’ve just forgotten how this jerk treated you before.

Ever heard of an endless number of abuses? That’s Huo Tingxiao.”

Mu Lan touched her nose awkwardly.

“Babe, you’ve got such big issues with Huo Tingxiao? Isn’t everyone encouraged to reconcile rather than split up, why are you… Besides, back then it was you who insisted I shouldn’t divorce.”

“Hey, hey, hey, little ingrate, were you thinking straight back then with the situation at the Mu Family? Even if you divorced, you wouldn’t have been happy. But now it’s different, your brother has weathered the crisis too, and there’s no worry about losing power, so…”

In reality, Gu Xiaoman knew that Mu Lan certainly didn’t want to divorce, and she was just teasing her.

But Mu Lan took it seriously, thinking about it, it seemed that she no longer had any need to insist on maintaining their marriage.

It’s just that the thought of divorcing Huo Tingxiao inexplicably made her a bit reluctant…

“Then… I…”

Gu Xiaoman couldn’t help laughing at the sight of Mu Lan faltering.

“Stop it, no need to look so constipated. If you can’t bear to, then don’t, why are you still putting on an act with me?”

Mu Lan giggled and hugged Gu Xiaoman.

“Can’t you speak more like a lady since you’re a girl?”

“Yo, are you complaining about me now?”

“Dare not, dare not, the little one doesn’t dare. But seriously, why am I suddenly being so sentimental?

I was so determined to get a divorce earlier, if not for my brother, I really wouldn’t want to spend another minute under the same roof with him.

I even hoped he’d have some mistresses, preferably a really beloved one, so I’d have a reason for the divorce.

But gradually, my thoughts changed, and I felt like if he dared to pick wildflowers, I would never forgive him.

Tell me, why am I so twisted?”

Gu Xiaoman looked at her and pursed her lips.

“There you go, falling for it again. Sentimental because you care, if you didn’t care, would you fuss over whether he lives or dies?”

“Why keep bringing up death?”

“Look at you, I can’t even say anything now? Tsk tsk tsk, although you’ve got amnesia, you’re still so interested in men, utterly heartless to everyone else.”

Gu Xiaoman stood up, took out three bottles of juice from the fridge, and handed one to Yun Xi.

“Thank you, Miss Gu.”

“Yeah yeah yeah, don’t call me Miss, I’m not some rich heiress.”

Handing another bottle to Mu Lan, Gu Xiaoman continued:

“The way I see it, you can’t leave him anyway. You might as well settle since you’re already an old married couple.”

Mu Lan blinked, how could this be? She still wanted a sweet romance.

“Why should I settle? I haven’t even had a romance, that’s just too miserable. To get married so inexplicably, especially to someone like him… sigh, you have no idea what it was like bringing him around amusement parks and supermarkets, attracting all sorts of attention.”

“Should I say it or not, Huo Tingxiao may not have the best personality, but he looks okay. But I’m puzzled, with his dead-fish attitude, how did you manage to fall into this pit again?”

Gu Xiaoman’s look of frustrated expectations made Mu Lan chuckle awkwardly.

“I find it just as baffling, maybe because he always came to my rescue during particularly dangerous times. You know I have a hero complex.”

“Back when we went on that trip and that soldier saved me, I kept him in my heart for quite a while.”

Mu Lan couldn’t help but roll her eyes when she brought up the matter.

“You don’t even know who the person is and you’re still dreaming? Wake up, will you? Stop dreaming, okay?”

Yun Xi was drinking her juice, listening to them go back and forth like she was enjoying a free comedy sketch.

Mu Lan ignored Gu Xiaoman’s teasing and continued:

“Moreover, Huo Tingxiao has suddenly started acting a bit strange.”

“Strange? Strange how?”

“He keeps staring at me, and with a look that I can’t quite describe, it makes my skin crawl.”

Just thinking about those dark eyes that seemed to smirk made Mu Lan shiver uncontrollably.

“Hmm? That’s not right, I smell an affair brewing. Has he taken an interest in you?”

Gu Xiaoman’s eyes were wide as saucers, her head practically sprouting two antennae scanning for signals.

“Give me a break, interested in me? It’s more likely that he’d lay a hand on me.”

“Hmm?”

“It’s a metaphor, don’t take it literally.”

Mu Lan’s ears reddened; she had unwittingly let the conversation steer toward a sensitive subject.

“No, something’s off. Think about it, for a guy like him, why would he be at your beck and call unless he likes you? It doesn’t make sense.

Even if it’s possessiveness, it wouldn’t go this far, right?

Let me straighten this out for you, maybe your current personality is incredibly appealing to him, and besides, you’re so beautiful, simply perfect.”

Gu Xiaoman’s barrage of flattery had Mu Lan beaming with amusement.

“Can you first take off that eight hundred meter-thick filter before you speak? Perfect? Was he blind for the past seven years, unable to see me? And just fell in love out of the blue? Is that how normal people think?

If we talk about me falling for him again, it’s because there was a seven-year foundation, right? Even if I’ve lost my memory, my heart must still remember the feeling of loving him.

So if I were to fall in love with him again, it wouldn’t be a surprise with both subjective and objective factors at play. But him taking interest in me? Unless it rains red from the sky. Impossible, just impossible!

Besides, he already told me that he would only dote on me, never love me.

He just sees me as a human pet, so how on earth would that turn into love? Gu Xiaoman, you’re just analyzing nonsense.”

After rattling off so much, she managed to baffle Gu Xiaoman.

“Hey, listen, I think it’s possible. Seriously, before, you were so meek from being tamed by your mother-in-law that any man would feel no desire to conquer. But now you’ve changed; you’d walk away without hesitation any time, anywhere.

You ever heard ‘Human nature is inherently cheap’? Especially for men, they’re the cheapest of the cheap! With such a drastic shift in your personality, how could he not be pleasantly surprised?

Look at you, playing double-faced? He’s smitten!

See, doesn’t that reasoning make sense?”

She essentially performed a soliloquy, and before Mu Lan knew how to react, Yun Xi burst into such hearty laughter that it sounded like a goose honking.

“Goose, goose, goose…”

The two close friends turned to Yun Xi in surprise and said in unison:

“Yun Xi, you actually laughed!”

Realizing she’s let her demeanor slip, Yun Xi quickly tried to stifle her laughter but wound up hiccuping instead.

At the sight of her, Mu Lan and Gu Xiaoman ended up hitting the floor with laughter.

“Hahaha… Yun Xi, you’re just too cute, I can’t take it, I’m gonna die laughing.”

“Oh my, Yun Xi, you’re truly a gem, too adorable, my goodness.”

Unable to resist, the three of them ended up laughing together in a bundle.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door from the entrance hall; Gu Xiaoman got up to answer it, but the smile on her face froze when she saw the person standing there.
