Chapter 235: Chapter 0235: Mu Lan, I Am Not Fine At All

Mu Lan was stunned for a moment. Had he been outside the door the whole time?

“Come in.”

The door opened by Huo Tingxiao, Mu Lan ended the phone call.

“You wanted to see me about something?”

Huo Tingxiao tried to appear calm, but his gaze couldn’t help flitting about. Clearly, the argument they had just had left him anxious, truly afraid that Mu Lan was still mad at him.

Mu Lan paused for a moment before speaking.

“About Katrina’s issue…”

“Ah? What about Katrina?”

Seeing him pretending to be oblivious, Mu Lan inwardly sighed.

“The news about her getting caught for drugs is all over the trending topics on Weibo. You want to say it has nothing to do with you?”

Huo Tingxiao did not speak, clearly uncertain whether he should admit it or not. After all, back in Paris, they had a clear understanding that he would no longer pursue matters with Katrina.

“The reason I didn’t want you to take action against her was because I was worried it might implicate you.”

That caught Huo Tingxiao’s attention.

“You’re worried about me?”

Mu Lan did not speak, which was as good as a confirmation.

Huo Tingxiao’s eyes suddenly sparkled with renewed vigor.

“She brought it upon herself.”

“And those kidnappers… you’ve dealt with them too…?”

“Long Xiao said he would handle it, I didn’t inquire further.”

Mu Lan noticed how eager he was to distance himself from the matter, as if afraid she would get angry, and she couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile.

“Thank you.”

Huo Tingxiao finally felt relieved.

“You don’t need to be so formal with me. I was wrong earlier, I shouldn’t have lost my temper with you. We should have had a proper conversation. It wasn’t intentional.”

Mu Lan looked down, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

“I was also in the wrong. I had no intention of collaborating with Pei Zhao, it was something I said out of anger.”

Huo Tingxiao hadn’t expected her to say that, and his eyes lit up with joy.

“So, you’re not mad at me anymore?”

Mu Lan pouted.

“If you stop showing me two different faces all the time, of course I won’t be mad.”

Huo Tingxiao walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, Mu Lan looked up, finding him quite audacious. Who had allowed him to come over?

“I drank too much yesterday and blacked out…”

Mu Lan’s gaze grew stern.

“So you forgot everything you said and did?”

A bewildered and helpless Huo Tingxiao could only admit it.

“Yeah.”

As if fearing Mu Lan would get angry again, he quickly added:

“But I think my alcohol tolerance is pretty good. I wouldn’t… I wouldn’t do anything indecent.

Maybe… Maybe I talked a bit too much.”

Talked a bit too much? He was practically a chatterbox!

“Yesterday, you were hugging me and frantically calling me ‘wife’, even insisting I compliment you. With my leg injured, I still had to coddle and hug you without letting go. Huo Tingxiao, you really opened my eyes.”

Huo Tingxiao, a grown man, turned red all the way to his ears upon hearing this.

“Well… you are indeed my wife, so I wasn’t wrong.”

“Hmm?”

Seeing her about to get upset, Huo Tingxiao quickly corrected himself.

“I was just speaking the truth while drunk. I’m used to pretending, but after drinking, the façade slips away.”

Mu Lan felt goosebumps all over again. His true self? He meant to say the Huo Tingxiao after a few drinks was the real him? That clingy, irritating Huo Tingxiao, she really was…

“I hadn’t realized you could be such a rogue before.”

Huo Tingxiao paused, then replied with some embarrassment:

“I only discovered it myself recently.”

Mu Lan felt it was truly impossible to reason with this person, not knowing where he had learned such shameless tactics that left one unable to cope.

“In the future, you should drink less. Don’t show up again after blacking out, otherwise…”

Huo Tingxiao hurried to promise:

“I won’t drink that much anymore, you can keep an eye on me.”

Mu Lan flicked her eyelids.

“Huo Tingxiao, let’s coexist peacefully, shall we?”

Huo Tingxiao looked at her, his dark eyes churning with emotions. He wanted to embrace her without hesitation, but feared that his rashness would push her further away and ultimately restrained himself.

“Alright.”

Mu Lan suddenly felt at ease. In fact, what Gu Xiaoman had said was not wrong—deep down, she couldn’t let go of Huo Tingxiao.

But unable to let go did not mean that she had to accept him again; it wasn’t the same thing.

After all, having loved for so many years, she couldn’t just let go that easily. She didn’t want to impose too many restrictions on herself now. Many things were better left to take their natural course.

“Please, don’t let my mother know about the Paris incident. After my father passed away, her health has not been good, so…”

“I know.”

For a time, no words were exchanged, and neither seemed to know what else to say. Huo Tingxiao also showed no intention of leaving.

“I need to continue working, you…”

“Oh, okay, then I won’t disturb you any longer.”

As he spoke, Huo Tingxiao stood up to leave.

Just as he was leaving the room, he received a phone call—it was Han Yongmei.

“Tingxiao, the divorce proceedings between your father and me have been finalized. I’ve also prepared all the assets under my name. Whenever you have time, come over for the transfer and sign the documents.”

Hearing this news, Huo Tingxiao was very calm.

“Mom, there’s really no need. Keep those things for yourself.”

Han Yongmei felt a profound sadness. She wanted to use these assets to make up for her shortcomings, but unfortunately, her son was no longer giving her a chance.

“Tingxiao, mom knows she was at fault before. I don’t have much to give you, but if you don’t want them now, I’ll write a will. Anyway, all these things are meant for you.”

Huo Tingxiao paused, then spoke:

“You may handle them as you wish, and I respect your decision.”

“I’m starting the immigration process to move to Canada, and I’ll probably spend most of my time there in the future.

When you have time, bring Mu Lan to visit me. Consider it a farewell.”

Huo Tingxiao didn’t expect Han Yongmei to immigrate, and couldn’t quite describe the feeling in his heart. He never received much maternal love from her growing up, and he thought he’d long stopped needing that kind of affection.

But when Han Yongmei said she was leaving, his heart felt an indescribable bitterness and sadness.

“Okay, set the time then.”

“Mm, you… take good care of yourself.”

“You as well.”

The call finally ended, and Huo Tingxiao felt an emptiness inside him.

From an early age, he had stopped yearning for familial affection and thought he had become accustomed to it over the years.

But it turned out he hadn’t gotten used to it; he had just sealed away those emotions.

The sudden divorce of his parents seemed to give Huo Tingxiao some kind of spur. He turned around, pushed open the door, and returned to Mu Lan’s side.

Seeing Huo Tingxiao return, Mu Lan watched him unblinkingly.

“You…”

“They’re divorced.”

Huo Tingxiao blurted out such an abrupt and puzzling statement, leaving Mu Lan somewhat unable to react.

“Who?”

“My father and mother.”

Mu Lan was stunned; indeed, she had heard about Han Yongmei wanting a divorce because of the acknowledgement of the illegitimate child Huo Tingyang.

She didn’t expect… it wasn’t just talk, but serious.

“Did you just find out? Are you… okay?”

Huo Tingxiao shook his head, admitting honestly:

“Not good, Mu Lan, I’m not okay at all.

I thought I wouldn’t care, but when I heard that she had finalized the divorce proceedings, I…”

He took steps closer to Mu Lan and suddenly grabbed her hand.
