Chapter 240: Chapter 0240: Mu Lan, Do You Still Have Me in Your Heart?

Mu Lan’s gaze was fierce like a she-wolf, while Huo Tingxiao appeared calm on the surface, but storms were raging in his heart.

“What’s wrong?”

He tried to act as usual.

Mu Lan didn’t speak. Shortly after, she heard several people walking out in high heels, a dark gleam flitting across her eyes. She grabbed Huo Tingxiao’s arm, cooing sweetly:

New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.

“Husband, thanks for accompanying me to the party today.”

Huo Tingxiao’s deep eyes brimmed with emotions that nearly erupted in an instant, his gaze landing on Mu Lan’s enticingly red lips. He wanted to fiercely grip the back of her head and kiss her.

But as he saw the three female models walking from the direction of the restroom, he snapped to his senses and understood the odd reason behind Mu Lan’s sudden behavior, feeling a burst of sourness and sadness in his heart.

A few tongue-wagging bystanders passed by with embarrassed looks, some displaying envy and jealousy, others showing fear and shrinking away, presenting a variety of reactions.

After those people had left, Mu Lan retracted her smile and let go of his hand, behaving just like a heartlessly ditching scumbag.

Huo Tingxiao reluctantly spoke up.

“Mu Lan…”

Mu Lan looked at him calmly, although trying hard to control her emotions, she ended up speaking in a mocking tone as soon as she opened her mouth.

“Thanks to you showing up today, I’ve become a designer who supposedly relies on a wealthy husband to win awards.

They’re all curious about how much money you spent to buy me this award.”

Huo Tingxiao frowned, feeling that it wasn’t that he couldn’t accept her venting, but he couldn’t accept being blamed for others’ jealousy.

“Those people are just envious of you. It’s not fair to blame their faults on me.”

Mu Lan bit her lip, glaring at him. And he still had the nerve to talk about fairness?

“Whether you interfered in my business or not, you know yourself.

I just want to rely on my own efforts. Huo Tingxiao, you, of all people, should understand how I feel.

And even if I wanted resources, I would rather rely on the Mu Family, not you.”

Huo Tingxiao suddenly wrapped his arms around Mu Lan’s waist, pulling her close to him, his eyes blazing with anger, clearly infuriated by her remarks.

“Everyone knows you are Mrs. Huo and besides, what’s wrong with me doting on my own wife? Is it a crime?

Your award was earned by your own ability; I’m not Katrina. Why would I buy you an award and demean you this way?

I’d rather comfort you and help you start over when you’re upset about losing an award than do such a thing.”

Mu Lan looked at him coldly.

This man, he realized she might also be doubting whether those people’s words were true.

That’s why he said all this.

“Let go of me first; I’m not comfortable with you holding me like this.”

Huo Tingxiao’s domineering side came forth, not so easily swayed.

“I just think being close like this lets you hear clearly what I have to say.”

The hand he had free grabbed her wrist, forcing her to place her hand on his heart.

“Mu Lan, I owe you, and I want to make it up to you. You can test me or even take revenge on me all you want.

But you can’t misunderstand my feelings for you, or think that I would do something to embarrass you, it would hurt me deeply.”

Mu Lan’s face flushed red as she tried to withdraw her hand, but he was holding it too tightly for her to pull away.

“I’m puzzled as to why these people insist I’m only capable through your influence.

Just because I’ve spent seven years as a housewife, I’m merely an accessory to you?

I find it even harder to believe that those who speak this way are women, harboring such malice towards their own kind.

Do they think only men should have careers?”

Huo Tingxiao watched her huffing, and couldn’t help but laugh.

“So, you purposely said that just now to make them angry?”

Mu Lan lowered her eyes, her voice somewhat muffled.

“Who makes you famous for being a flirt? What am I in comparison…”

Huo Tingxiao’s eyes darkened, his smiling expression becoming unfathomable.

“Hmm… a flirt, I’ll take that compliment, wife.”

Mu Lan looked up, meeting his deep, dark eyes.

“What are you thinking about now? Who is your wife?”

Huo Tingxiao’s tone was innocent.

“You just took the initiative to call me husband, isn’t it only right to reciprocate?”

Mu Lan glared.

“You clearly knew I did it to anger those models, you…”

Huo Tingxiao was unconcerned.

“No matter what, you did call me ‘husband’ just now, genuinely, I heard it.”

It really caught Mu Lan by surprise how Huo Tingxiao could act so shamelessly without even being drunk. Min Qi, who had walked out of the banquet hall at some point, saw them and couldn’t help but smile.

“You two really seem close, what a pity Huo Tingxiao doesn’t enjoy the spotlight. Last year, when he came to the award ceremony, he kept a low profile, quietly letting his assistant accept the award on his behalf, otherwise I really would like to do a feature on you two.”

Mu Lan blushed and stepped out from Huo Tingxiao’s embrace, looking towards Min Qi.

“Editor Min, our careers are independent of each other, so…”

“I understand, I understand. This industry inevitably breeds some jealousy, you never know what idle talk will arise. To wear a crown, one must bear its weight.

You’re still new, ignore the unkind comments and keep up the good work.”

Editor Min nodded towards them and headed in the direction of the washroom.

Suddenly Mu Lan thought of something that she couldn’t resist asking.

“Last year at the Fashion Gala of C Magazine, didn’t you bring a female companion? When did you quietly attend?”

Huo Tingxiao looked puzzled.

“Female companion? I only brought He Yan, when did I bring a female companion?”

Mu Lan pursed her lips.

“Mi Lu sent the photo of you two to my WeChat, and you still say you only brought He Yan? Huo Tingxiao, what is so hard about admitting something you have done.

Besides, I don’t mean anything by it, no need to lie, it’s quite unnecessary.”

Huo Tingxiao truly felt like even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t clear him, must he admit things he hadn’t done? It wasn’t about necessity, it was about his innocence!

“Mi Lu was someone else’s companion, we did happen to meet at the venue, but I never took a photo with her.

I know I misunderstood you before, thinking you were irrationally jealous, but later I realized Mi Lu had ulterior motives, so I fired her.

Mu Lan, I really have no relationship with her, you have to believe me.”

Watching him repeatedly deny any relationship, Mu Lan pursed her lips.

“I was just asking casually, you don’t need to explain who you are involved with or not to me.”

Although she said that, her expression told an entirely different story. Huo Tingxiao observed carefully for a while, then suddenly grinned.

“You’re clearly jealous now. How can you say it has nothing to do with you?

Mu Lan, do you still have feelings for me?”
