Chapter 200: Chapter 200: I Will Win You Back Again

“No, no, no, it all suggests that everything follows a trace, Lanlan lost her memory mysteriously and now has recovered it just as mysteriously.

Not only did she recover her memory, but she specifically forgot everything that happened these past few months.

It’s so precise; even computer programs don’t work like that, right?”

Gu Xiaoman’s mind was racing, and Yun Xi was unusually talkative today.

“During the car accident today, I saw Pei Zhao take out a pocket watch.

If I’m not mistaken… he was hypnotizing Mu Lan at that time.”

Yun Xi’s words made Gu Xiaoman’s eyes widen.

“Hypnosis? If that’s really the case, then this Pei Zhao is too malicious. What does he think of Lanlan? A humanoid doll?

No way, I’ll go see how the talk between those two is going. Lanlan must feel very resistant toward Huo Tingxiao now; all the trust we painstakingly built up has been destroyed.”

While muttering to herself, she stood up and went downstairs. Just as she reached the staircase, she saw Huo Tingxiao holding Mu Lan tightly, and Mu Lan was bent backward into a ‘C’ shape in his arms.

“Huo Tingxiao, if you keep holding her like this, you’re going to break Lanlan’s back.”

Huo Tingxiao let go, looked up, and saw Gu Xiaoman and Yun Xi walk down the stairs and sit down by the sofa.

“I’ve been thinking, just letting you two talk will probably lead nowhere.

Sister here will act as a mediator today. You can both put forward your demands.

Lanlan, I am your best friend after all. I won’t lean towards Huo Tingxiao. I’ll try to be impartial, which is as fair as it can get.

What do you think, do you agree?”

Mu Lan looked at Gu Xiaoman and spoke in a calm voice.

“Weren’t you very supportive of my divorce from Huo Tingxiao before?”

Gu Xiaoman, feeling Huo Tingxiao’s stare, gave an awkward smile.

“Oh, that was then, this is now, you know? You’ve forgotten all the things that happened these last few months.”

Mu Lan turned to Huo Tingxiao and asked logically and systematically,

“So what exactly happened these past months that could offset these seven years?”

She was merely stating a fact, but to Huo Tingxiao, it sounded like an invisible accusation.

Accusing him of naivety, accusing him of wishful thinking.

He actually believed that the bits and pieces of their past three months together could heal her wounds from the past seven years.

Huo Tingxiao had lived for over thirty years and had never felt such regret as he did at this moment.

Gu Xiaoman also had too many words stuck in her throat. What was she thinking? She really had become muddle-headed, remembering the good and forgetting the pain.

How Huo Tingxiao treated Mu Lan before, wasn’t she clear about that?

Just because he had behaved slightly better recently, had she forgotten the harm this man caused to Lanlan?

“Lanlan, you’re right, no matter what happened these past months, it can’t and shouldn’t negate the pain you’ve suffered over these seven years.”

Gu Xiaoman, deflated like a punctured ball, heard the self-reproach in her best friend’s voice and consoled her:

“I don’t blame you, Xiaoman, you don’t need to feel guilty.

We are all adults here; whatever issues I have with Huo Tingxiao, we can resolve them calmly.”

Gu Xiaoman felt even more heartbroken, remembering when she previously called Mu Lan naive. But now, seeing her genuinely composed, Gu Xiaoman realized what nonsense an adult’s calm was; she would rather have Mu Lan stay upset.

“Okay, we’ll solve it calmly. You’ve said, what you do, you’ll own up to.”

Huo Tingxiao suddenly spoke, the two looked at each other, one with cold restraint and the other with surging emotions.

“That’s right.”

Gu Xiaoman seemed to know what Huo Tingxiao was about to do and couldn’t help but sigh. That’s why one must cherish what they have while they can hold onto it, otherwise… they themselves would suffer later.

“You said you’d give me a chance, so we can’t get a divorce.”

Mu Lan frowned.

“When did I ever say that…”

“During your amnesia.”

“So now you want me to take responsibility for something I don’t remember?”

“Whether you remember it or not isn’t the point, the point is that you had said you would take responsibility for your actions.”

Huo Tingxiao’s reasoning ability was indeed first-rate, Gu Xiaoman had to admire it.

Mu Lan was silent for a while, then looked at Gu Xiaoman, her eyes conveying a very clear meaning.

Gu Xiaoman chuckled awkwardly:

“Lanlan, you really did promise, this… I can’t lie about it.”

Huo Tingxiao knew his actions were somewhat despicable, but compared to losing Mu Lan, let alone acting despicably, even if it meant descending into hell, he wouldn’t hesitate in the slightest.

Mu Lan was silent for a long time, and Huo Tingxiao felt every second was torture; he was terrified she’d insist on divorcing, on leaving him, his palms sweating with nervousness.

“Alright, I did it, I’ll own up. I can give you a chance.”

Huo Tingxiao’s eyes, previously as dry as old wells, instantly lit up.

“Are you serious?”

Seeing Huo Tingxiao’s reaction, Mu Lan was actually very calm.

“Because for me, even giving you a chance won’t mean anything.

Huo Tingxiao, be mentally prepared.”

“My only preparation is to win you back.”

Mu Lan responded with a non-committal smile, her eyes devoid of any turmoil.

Gu Xiaoman originally wanted to discuss Pei Zhao in front of the two but seeing the exhaustion on Mu Lan’s face, she did not speak up, thinking it was not too late to let Yun Xi and Huo Tingxiao know when the right opportunity came.

That evening, Gu Xiaoman stayed over at Maple Forest Garden, sharing a guest room with Mu Lan.

Gu Xiaoman felt she was really in a tough spot, like a fan with half of a drama script; she didn’t want to mislead Mu Lan, but she had to tell her the truth.

Mu Lan listened quietly as Gu Xiaoman spoke about the lengths Huo Tingxiao went to for her, from sending his cousin to Africa and offending his aunt.

And, about breaking that person’s leg from the Xie Family for her, to Huo Tingxiao’s forceful declaration of love, one after another, Gu Xiaoman’s animated storytelling implied that Huo Tingxiao had truly come to his senses.

But Mu Lan remained unmoved, without the slightest reaction.

Gu Xiaoman was baffled. What kind of response was this?

“Lanlan, you really have no thoughts at all?”

“What thoughts? Xiaoman, I have no thoughts, nor do I want to have any.

The divorce wasn’t something I only recently considered.”

“Is it because of Pei Zhao? Does it have something to do with Pei Zhao?”

Mu Lan looked at Gu Xiaoman.

“Why does everyone think it’s because of Mr. Pei? Do you really think I would do such a thing?”

Gu Xiaoman, seeing the hurt in Mu Lan’s eyes, quickly explained:

“I didn’t mean that, I was afraid that Pei Zhao might have threatened you or something, Lanlan, that Pei Zhao is no good.

He’s approaching you just to target Huo Tingxiao.

Plus, the car accident was also deliberately caused by him, did you know?”

Mu Lan was somewhat shocked.

“How could that be? Why would Mr. Pei do such a thing?”

“Why else? Because Huo Tingxiao loves you to the point of insanity, and when Pei Zhao made an overture while you had amnesia, not only did you not take it, you even broke it off.”
