Chapter 175: Chapter 0175: A Man Who Falls in Love
Huo Tingxiao exerted a bit of force and pulled her into his arms, his eyes alarmingly bright. Mu Lan glared at him, warning,
“If you keep pestering me like this, I won’t even consider it.”
Sure enough, her words were effective—Huo Tingxiao dared not continue his antics, but he didn’t let go either.
He just kept looking at her, silent.
Mu Lan felt on edge under his intense gaze and looked away. The usually icy person turning so passionate was really a challenge to handle.
“Don’t look at me like that.”
Huo Tingxiao’s eyes were fervent, almost searing.
“You are really beautiful.”
“…”
Who doesn’t love compliments? Mu Lan knew she was no exception. But luckily, she still had her wits about her, or else the sly look in Huo Tingxiao’s eyes would have completely bewitched her.
“Nonsense, of course, I know I am beautiful. No need for you to say it.
Let go!”
She deliberately cooled her tone, hoping Huo Tingxiao would get the hint. However, instead of backing off, he took advantage, maximizing his luck by tenderly playing with her hand.
“Your hand is cold, let me warm it for you.”
Feeling the warmth from his palm, Mu Lan’s cool hand gradually warmed up too. Despite her reluctance to admit it, she couldn’t help but covet Huo Tingxiao’s warmth—his hands were large and warm, with a trace of calluses that gently rubbed against her skin, warming her heart as well.
Mu Lan felt as though she was punching cotton, Huo Tingxiao’s tactics were too cunning, and she was always about to lose her footing, alas, she was truly weak.
Determinedly withdrawing her hand, Mu Lan said sternly:
“Yunzhan was looking for you over there, you better go.”
Huo Tingxiao looked heartbroken.
“But I don’t want to go, let Yunzhan wait.”
At that moment, Yunzhan, who was being driven crazy by Jing Rong in the hotel, sneezed.
Mu Lan glared at him and issued a clear eviction order.
“Are you going or not?”
Seeing that she was truly getting angry, Huo Tingxiao had to surrender. There was no helping it; he liked her after all. It wasn’t embarrassing to bow to his own woman.
“Going, I’ll listen to you.”
Suddenly, it was as if the serf had turned the tune, and Mu Lan felt a complex mixture of emotions. Happiness, for sure, but also accompanied by worries.
Who knew if Huo Tingxiao would change his face faster than flipping a book? Yesterday he pampered, today he loved, and once she gave her all, he might turn around and leave without a backward glance.
Mu Lan, she was truly fearful, inexplicably lacking a sense of security.
Also, somehow, the more Huo Tingxiao seemed to care about her, the more her chest throbbed with pain.
Huo Tingxiao escorted Mu Lan back to the ward, left a few instructions with Yun Xi at the door, and didn’t hurry to find Yunzhan but made his way to Shen Zichu’s office.
Upon meeting, Shen Zichu couldn’t help but complain.
“You two took that spat to a whole new level, didn’t you?”
Huo Tingxiao had no intention of indulging Shen Zichu’s gossip and directly inquired about Shen Ying’s health.
“How is my mother-in-law’s health? When can a comprehensive check-up be arranged?”
Shen Zichu pondered for a moment.
“Today is definitely not possible. She would need to fast from tonight until tomorrow morning, then undergo some routine check-ups, and if necessary, a few more in-depth diagnostics.

Based on current observations, there shouldn’t be any major issues; she just fainted due to shock this time. There’s no need to be overly concerned.”
“At the hospital here, please take good care of her.”
This startled Shen Zichu.
“Since when have you been so polite with me? I’m not used to it.”
Huo Tingxiao glanced sideways at Shen Zichu.
“What, do I have to talk tough to make it right?”
Shen Zichu raised his hands in surrender.
“Forget I said anything. Anyway, patch things up with Mu Lan quickly, or I have to keep answering Gu Xiaoman’s life-and-death questions every day. It’s too hard for me.”
Mentioning Gu Xiaoman, Huo Tingxiao looked straight at Shen Zichu.
“Gu Xiaoman is a good person, treat her well.”
“You’re making it sound like I treated her poorly.”
“I know Shao Wei is back.”
Shen Zichu paused and sighed.
“She came back with her husband, and we are just colleagues now.”
Huo Tingxiao carefully observed Shen Zichu’s reaction.
“Anyway, if you make Gu Xiaoman unhappy, Mu Lan will be heartbroken, and if Mu Lan is heartbroken, I definitely won’t let you off.”
“…”
Shen Zichu was speechless, realizing it was all about his wife after all.
“Can you not be so cheesy? Mu Lan isn’t even here, who are you performing for?”
Huo Tingxiao glanced at him.
“This is called showing true feelings.”
“Alright, alright, Brother Tingxiao, Lord Tingxiao, spare me.
I’ll buy you dinner to shut you up.”
“I’m off to meet Yunzhan about something, you eat by yourself.”
With that, Huo Tingxiao turned and left the office, leaving Shen Zichu laughing helplessly.
He had come here just to instruct him to take good care of his mother-in-law and to threaten him not to let Gu Xiaoman down.
Ah, the man who fell into love.
When Huo Tingxiao arrived at the hotel, Yunzhan was almost out of breath with Jing Rong clinging to him.
“You’re finally here.”
Jing Rong blinked her eyes, gave Huo Tingxiao a quick glance, then immediately glued her gaze back on Yunzhan.
She hugged Yunzhan’s arm and leaned against him, her eyes shining like stars, almost as if she was about to emit pink heart effects from her whole body.
Huo Tingxiao had heard that Jing Rong was very clingy to Yunzhan, but he hadn’t expected her to be this clingy.
Looking at the porcelain doll-like girl in front of him, Huo Tingxiao suddenly had the feeling that she might very well be Yunzhan’s nemesis.
“Rongrong, you… don’t get so close to me.”
Jing Rong blinked her big eyes and instantly looked pitiful, as if Yunzhan had made some outrageously offensive request.
Yunzhan held his forehead.
“Do whatever you want, forget I said anything.”
Jing Rong’s slightly chubby face immediately showed a sweet smile.
“I knew Brother Yunzhan treats me the best.”
Huo Tingxiao walked over to the single sofa and sat down, a smile involuntarily appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Yunzhan gave him a fierce glare, his look translating to—Damn it, who am I humiliating myself for, do you have a conscience? Still laughing?
“Miss Jing, I’m Huo Tingxiao. I’ve asked you here to ask for a favor.”
Jing Rong turned to Huo Tingxiao and her demeanor instantly became aloof, her face transforming with astonishing speed.
“You want me to hack someone’s information system?”
“Yes.”
“Why should I help you? You’re nobody to me.”
“You’re not helping me, you’re helping Yunzhan.”
Yunzhan widened his eyes, looking at Huo Tingxiao spouting nonsense seriously.
But could he deny it? He dared not.
So, he could only coax Jing Rong:
“Rongrong, isn’t your organization really powerful? Just help check someone, okay?”
Jing Rong tilted her head, looking at Yunzhan accusingly:
“Then why did you lie to me, saying you wanted to see me?”
Huo Tingxiao leisurely watched Yunzhan, his eyes spelling out—Oh, what a playboy.
Yunzhan really wanted to explode, sacrificing his dignity yet still being teased by him.
But he couldn’t explode, he could only endure.
