She Lost Memory Before the Divorce-Chapter 126 - 0: Spectacular Counterkill (4)

Chapter 126: Chapter 0126: Spectacular Counterkill (4)

“How does it feel hearing that I embarrassed your childhood friend, are you heartbroken?”

Mu Lan pouted, her tone sour.

Huo Tingxiao watched her purse her lips, her quirky talking manner so adorable.

Suddenly, it felt as if something had struck his heart, and he stared at her, unblinking.

Mu Lan felt uneasy under his gaze, thinking, what’s with him? Why is he just staring at me without saying anything?

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“What do you think about Sheng Xueqin and Lin Yize being together?”

“…”

Mu Lan widened her eyes, taking a long time to respond.

“Are you crazy, what has the senior done to deserve being matched with her? Besides, I promised Aunt Yun to find a reliable partner for the senior.

No way, absolutely not Sheng Xueqin!”

Without thinking, Mu Lan strongly opposed it.

Huo Tingxiao snorted, very dissatisfied with her protective behavior towards Lin Yize.

“Why do I feel like you’re not at all interested in finding a girlfriend for Lin Yize, but instead…”

“Instead what?”

“Instead you’re just looking for an excuse to openly interact with him?

Oh, I’ve heard that you even acknowledged his mom as your godmother? How unnecessary.”

Hey, this man is really terrible, picking on every little thing, and all his reasons are twisted.

“What do you mean ‘looking for an excuse to interact’? If I wanted to interact, I wouldn’t need an excuse.

It’s you who always finds fault with others.”

Huo Tingxiao squinted, looking at Mu Lan.

“That’s because he’s not genuinely kind-hearted towards you.”

“Here we go again, did he tell you that or what?”

“Yes, he laid it all out, saying he’s the one who can make you happy and asked me to set you free.”

Mu Lan stared, taken aback by Huo Tingxiao’s cool, dark eyes, knowing he was serious.

“How could that be? The senior likes me? No way.”

“Why not?”

“Because for two years in high school we were just buddies! Do you understand buddies? I’ve always seen him the same as Mu Huaifeng.”

“So you don’t believe what I’m saying?”

Huo Tingxiao suddenly leaned forward, his entire body nearly pressing down on Mu Lan, causing her to hurriedly push him away.

“When talking just talk, don’t get so close… so close, I can’t think.”

Seeing the great impact he had on her, Huo Tingxiao’s mood improved significantly.

“From the start, he’s been finding ways to get close to you, if you still have doubts, try observing his every move closely.”

Mu Lan bit her lip, thinking this was a bit tricky. If it really was as Huo Tingxiao said, isn’t that too awkward between her and Lin Yize?

The car slowly drove into the hotel’s parking garage, Yun Xi had the dress shoes ready, He Yan directly unlocked the reserved private room at the front desk, and the four took the elevator directly to the top floor.

Even while changing into the dress, Mu Lan’s mind was full of what Huo Tingxiao had said.

Oh no, what if she acts too strangely when she sees Lin Yize shortly? Oh, just the thought is embarrassing.

“Are you done changing?”

“Almost, almost.”

After changing her dress and stepping out of the bathroom, Huo Tingxiao’s gaze flickered slightly, clearly very satisfied with her appearance.

And Huo Tingxiao in a three-piece suit showcased his mature charm to perfection, making Mu Lan admit that, despite his personality, the man had an appealing exterior.

“There will be a dancing segment later, you should be prepared.”

“What? Why didn’t you say so earlier? How would I know how to dance?”

Mu Lan’s words made Huo Tingxiao stop in his tracks, an inexplicable discomfort rising in his heart.

In the few occasions before, her dancing had always been perfect.

So… did she learn it for herself again?

“Don’t worry, I’ll teach you.

Waltz. Just follow my steps.”

As he spoke, one hand was placed gently on Mu Lan’s slender waist, the other lightly took her hand.

Mu Lan was somewhat nervous, her body a bit stiff.

“Listen to my beat and step out your foot. Right, left, feet together, left, right, feet together.”

Following Huo Tingxiao’s commands, Mu Lan thought she would mess up, but somehow, her body moved expertly as if beyond her control.

“Am I a genius? Did I just learn it like that?”

Looking at the smile on Mu Lan’s face, how could Huo Tingxiao tell her she had always danced beautifully?

Mu Lan was somewhat excited as if she had become addicted.

“Again, again. One-two-three, one-two-three… Huo Tingxiao, don’t you think I’m a genius? It kind of looks like I got it, right?”

The brighter her smile, the more indescribable discomfort filled Huo Tingxiao’s heart, and he suddenly pulled her into his embrace, baffling Mu Lan.

Feeling Huo Tingxiao’s chin resting against her shoulder, the warm breath tickled her skin.

“Huo Tingxiao… what’s wrong with you?”

Huo Tingxiao struggled to regulate his breathing, and after a while, he spoke:

“It’s nothing. I just think you’re fantastic.”

Mu Lan took his words at face value, smiling as she patted his back.

“And here I thought something was wrong. Turns out you were simply overwhelmed by my genius dance moves.

Don’t worry, don’t worry, I definitely won’t embarrass you later.”

Huo Tingxiao’s eyes involuntarily watered a bit. Still thinking about the conversation in Huo Mansion with Yunzhan about what it meant to like someone, it suddenly all felt very clear to him in that moment, as if he had a sudden breakthrough.

He stepped back half a step, gazing intently at Mu Lan in front of him, his emotions surging like tides, that affectionate look almost making Mu Lan think she was seeing things.

“Huo Tingxiao, you…”

“You’re the best, I believe in you.”

As he spoke, he gently, very gently, patted the top of her head, and the gesture so full of affection made Mu Lan suddenly blush, the red spreading to her ears.

Mu Lan felt like thousands of tiny deer were running around in her heart.

This man, was he flirting with her?

“Yes, I know.”

Averting her gaze, Mu Lan felt her heart race and her mind begin to knot up. No, no, no, this was not a good sign.

“Mu Lan, I…”

Huo Tingxiao was interrupted mid-sentence by a knock at the door.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

Mu Lan quickly ran to open the door, and Yunzhan leaned casually against the wall, sending her a wink.

“Did I interrupt something sweet between the two of you? Oh my, sister-in-law, that gown of yours is too beautiful! Truly a sight for sore eyes.”

“Thank you, you look very handsome too.”

Huo Tingxiao faced the uninvited Cheng Yaojin with a cold expression.

“If you’re bored, go find your plants and flowers.”

Seeing Huo Tingxiao’s big temper, Yunzhan chuckled knowingly.

“Seems like I’m in the way then. But I’m too bored on my own. Please, bear with me.”

Without waiting for an agreement, he stepped inside the room.
