She Lost Memory Before the Divorce-Chapter 170 - 017 Give me a chance

Chapter 170: Chapter 017: Give me a chance Chapter 170 -017: Give me a chance In an instant, Mu Lan felt every pore of her body contract sharply, and the hairs on her skin stood uncontrollably on end.

She started to panic. She had been determined to stay away from this man, but now, with just a bit of coquettishness from him, she found herself unable to resist.

Mu Lan became so flustered that she didn’t know what to say.

“You’re insane, Huo Tingxiao, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Your mind isn’t clear right now, and once you’re sober, you’ll regret everything you said.”

Listening to her words, Huo Tingxiao only felt a heavy discomfort in his chest.

“I don’t have a fever, and I haven’t had any alcohol, my mind is very clear. I know what I’m saying, and I know who the woman in my arms is.

Lanlan, can’t you stop running away? Is it that hard to believe that I love you?”

Mu Lan was speechless. She had just given him a way out, but not only did he not take it, he pressed on even more aggressively? Huo Tingxiao’s tactics were too deep!

“Let go of me first, then we can talk properly.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Tingxiao did not let go but instead held her even tighter.

“I’m afraid you’re cold, it’s nice holding you like this.”

“…”

Mu Lan really wanted to curse, but she couldn’t; in the middle of the night, she couldn’t wake up her family.

Seeing her not speaking, Huo Tingxiao spoke again, his tone somewhat pitiful.

“Are you angry?”

Mu Lan’s voice turned cold.

“Yes, I’m angry. Who was it that said they only doted on me without love, and that I should never indulge in wishful thinking?”

Huo Tingxiao feigned ignorance.

“Hmm? Who said such nonsense?”

Mu Lan almost ran out of breath from frustration. How could he be so shameless!

“Huo Tingxiao, do you find this amusing?”

Huo Tingxiao’s tone became even more pitiful.

“Don’t be angry, alright? I know I did wrong this time, and I made you sad.

Give me another chance, will you?”

His humbled voice genuinely surprised Mu Lan.

The Huo Tingxiao she knew was someone who looked down on everyone. When had he ever groveled like this? For a moment, Mu Lan actually considered whether she should just…

But then she thought it over, no, it wasn’t right, she couldn’t so easily trust these sweet nothings.

Huo Tingxiao was too crafty, she was no match for him.

She couldn’t tell if his words were true or false.

“Let go of me first.”

Huo Tingxiao dared not let go, afraid that she would run away the moment he did.

“Then say you’re not angry anymore, and I will let go.”

Mu Lan lowered her gaze, of course, it was Huo Tingxiao, even now he didn’t forget to negotiate terms.

“Fine, I’m not angry anymore.”

Huo Tingxiao let go, and Mu Lan turned to look at him with an expressionless face.

“It’s very late now, you should go back earlier. We can talk about anything during the day.

I think… you need to cool off.”

Huo Tingxiao frowned, looking at Mu Lan.

“I don’t need to cool off, even if you let me speak again, I would say the same thing.”

Mu Lan was silent for a long time, so long that it made Huo Tingxiao’s heart panic.

“Huo Tingxiao.”

“Hmm.”

“It really is very late now. If you truly care about me, let me get some good sleep. We can talk about anything later, okay?”

Huo Tingxiao looked at Mu Lan and ultimately nodded his head.

“Alright, good night then.”

“You should go back as well, now that I’ve agreed to meet you, I won’t avoid you.”

With that, Mu Lan turned and went back into the villa.

Huo Tingxiao watched as her figure disappeared behind the door, got into his car, and parked it on the side of the villa.

When Mu Lan returned to her bedroom and saw no trace of the car at the entrance, she thought she would be happy, but unexpectedly felt a sense of emptiness inside.

Tossing and turning in bed she couldn’t fall asleep, her mind replaying Huo Tingxiao’s words over and over.

She stayed awake until the break of dawn when the sky began to lighten, her eyes dry and yet still without any hint of sleepiness.

Huo Tingxiao’s words had indeed frightened her.

A love confession, a love confession! Huo Tingxiao had actually confessed his love to her?

What exactly was he plotting in his mind, or was he planning something—Mu Lan couldn’t fathom the true meaning behind his actions.

Her mind cycled through countless possibilities, but there was one she dared not consider—that Huo Tingxiao was indeed sincere.

Finally, worn out from guessing, she couldn’t hold on any longer and fell asleep.

Early in the morning, Mu Huaifeng and Shen Ying were eating breakfast at the dining table. The two exchanged knowing glances and then looked up towards the upper floor.

“Did she have insomnia?”

“She definitely cried, her eyes are swollen. She’s afraid we’ll see.”

“Sigh, this girl, how should I comfort her? Huaifeng, do you think we should take her out to have a change of scene?”

“I told her, if she wants to study abroad in Paris, I’ll arrange it immediately.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Ying nodded.

“Yeah, if it weren’t for your father’s poor health at that time, she would have stubbornly chosen an overseas university and wouldn’t have had to encounter Huo Tingxiao.”

“Mom, don’t think like that. Lanlan is already an adult and can take responsibility for her choices. You shouldn’t underestimate her,” Mu Huaifeng said.

These words didn’t comfort Shen Ying.

She understood very well how important marriage was for a woman, especially considering how deeply Mu Lan loved Huo Tingxiao, the impact on her was unimaginable.

“When she wakes up, I’ll have a good talk with her; you just go to the company and take care of your business, I’ve got everything covered here.”

Mu Huaifeng thought about it and agreed; some things were indeed better understood between women, and even a conscientious brother like him couldn’t compare to Shen Ying.

“Alright, call me if you need anything; I’ll come back immediately.”

“Okay.”

Mu Huaifeng came out of the villa and saw Huo Tingxiao’s car parked on the side, which made him frown.

He instructed the driver to stop and got out of the car.

Obviously, Huo Tingxiao also saw Mu Huaifeng. Compared to his crisp attire, Huo Tingxiao’s shirt was wrinkled, and stubble grew on his chin, making him look quite disheveled.

“Are you trying to look pitiful to garner sympathy? That isn’t something a grown man should do.”

Despite Mu Huaifeng’s biting sarcasm, Huo Tingxiao remained unmoved in his expression.

“Is Lanlan awake?”

“Is Lanlan someone you can call so familiarly? Huo Tingxiao, cut the act here.”

“Lanlan has agreed to meet me today, we are going to have a good talk.”

Mu Huaifeng scoffed.

“What’s left for you two to talk about? Do you think I’ll give you another chance to get close to Lanlan?

Huo Tingxiao, if you dare to come near my sister again, I’ll fight you with my life!

Don’t think I, Mu Huaifeng, am a pushover! Lanlan is the apple of the Mu Family’s eye, and I only regret that I didn’t stop her from marrying into the Huo Family, letting her marry a heartless, cold-blooded monster like you.

You think by acting nice and playing the victim, she will act as if nothing happened.

I haven’t settled the matter of that car accident with you yet!”

Huo Tingxiao frowned, staring at Mu Huaifeng.

“What do you mean by that? Are you implying the car accident had something to do with me?”
