Mu Lan looked down, without responding, then heard Lin Yize speak again.

“Now this matter has become the talk of the town, and everyone is guessing who it is. Actually, the answer is almost obvious, isn’t it? Who else has the capability other than Huo Tingxiao? Mu Lan, I’m really worried—”
“Senior, that kind of gossip should just be heard and forgotten, don’t take it seriously.”
Raising her eyes, she stared unblinkingly at the Lin Yize before her, Mu Lan spoke softly.
“Gossip? Do you think this is just gossip? Do you know that he did this for a woman? Because Xie Bin drugged that woman, Huo Tingxiao took action. Think about it, what would the relationship between these two men have to be for him to go this far? Mu Lan, do you really want to treat yourself like this?”
Listening to the painful tone in Lin Yize’s voice, Mu Lan didn’t know how to respond.
...
Seeing everyone assume the secret lover of Huo Tingxiao was causing such an uproar revealed that she, the official Mrs. Huo, truly lacked presence before.
Even Lin Yize didn’t think she was the protagonist of this incident.
“Is that so? If it’s true, Xie Bin really had it coming.”
Lin Yize didn’t expect Mu Lan to say that, and, for a moment, didn’t know how to respond.
“Do you really think so? Huo Tingxiao acts ruthlessly and mercilessly, can you really be content staying with such a man?”
Mu Lan suddenly became agitated, her tone a bit harsh when she spoke.
“Even so, this is my private matter, Senior, what right do you have to talk to me about it?”
“Because I—”
Lin Yize was cut off halfway when the door suddenly swung open, and Huo Tingxiao’s face turned cold upon seeing him in the room, his tone was neither hot nor cold. Although he didn’t consider Lin Yize a contender, seeing a grown man appearing constantly around Mu Lan like an annoying fly was truly irksome.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Lin was still here.”
“Since we’ve met, it would have been impolite to just leave without a word.”
Mu Lan herself sighed; she was already suffering from a headache and really didn’t want to listen to them argue.
“Mr. Lin is too polite indeed, it’s too much for my wife to handle.”
Huo Tingxiao strode into the room and walked directly to Mu Lan’s bedside, naturally reaching out to gently touch her face with tender affection, while Mu Lan instinctively rubbed her face against his palm. This exchange, witnessed by Lin Yize, was like daggers to his heart.
“Does Mr. Lin have anything else to say?”
Lin Yize still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were filled with intense anger.
“Get some good rest, and I’ll come see you tomorrow.”
“Sleep a bit more, I’ll see the guest out.”
See the guest out? Mu Lan looked up at Huo Tingxiao, staring at him for a long time, watching his composed emotions, she closed her eyes, consenting.
The two men left the room one after the other, and the hallway was eerily silent. They walked a while before stopping simultaneously.
As their gazes met, fire met ice, neither willing to back down, competing with one another.
“Mr. Huo really is something, with Meilan’s matter blowing up like this, and Mu Lan still stands by your side, I’m curious, what kind of person makes Mr. Huo ready to fight for a beauty’s honor.”
Lin Yize’s provocation made Huo Tingxiao raise an eyebrow, his expression unreadable.
“Does Mr. Lin really not know, or are you pretending not to know?”
“Are you suggesting I should know, Mr. Huo?”
Huo Tingxiao stared at Lin Yize, his gaze chilling, as if ready to tear Lin Yize to pieces, his tone full of warning.
“From now on, stop hovering around my wife and restrain any inappropriate thoughts,”
Lin Yize showed no sign of fear, his expression unchanged as he responded coldly.
“It’s not your place to warn me, Huo. If you can’t take care of her properly, don’t blame others for getting ideas. Everyone in Sea City knows that Mu Lan is just a wife in name only. When have you ever cared for her or looked after her properly?”
This accusation of not taking care of her stabbed at Huo Tingxiao’s heart like a sharp knife; images of Mu Lan almost being bullied by Xie Bin and the torment she suffered from today’s chase flooded his mind, filling him with both heartache and guilt.
“The matters between Mu Lan and me are really none of your concern, Director Lin. No one can come between us,”
And it seemed like Lin Yize had seen through his thoughts and countered:
“Is that so? Maybe it’s you two for now, but in the future… it might not be the case anymore.”
Huo Tingxiao’s heart suddenly clenched, his eyes flaming with fury as he stared intently at Lin Yize and spoke word by word:
“Director Lin can only quibble over words here. If you really had a chance, you wouldn’t be wasting your time here arguing with me.”
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the hospital room, while Lin Yize frowned and clenched his fists.
Huo Tingxiao, let’s see who will be the final winner!
———
When he returned to the hospital room, Huo Tingxiao had already calmed his mind, as if the tension from before had never happened.
Upon entering, he saw that Mu Lan had already fallen asleep on the hospital bed. Looking at her smooth, jade-like face, his eyes were full of pain.
He quietly sat down in the chair next to the bed, and Lin Yize’s words kept reminding him that he had not been attentive enough towards Mu Lan, failing to fulfill his duties as a husband.
During the consultation, the doctors mentioned her sudden headaches could be due to stress, and the blood clots in her brain had almost cleared. However, they had no answer regarding the recovery of her lost memories.
He placed her hand against his face, gently caressing it as he gazed unwaveringly at her. After a while, Mu Lan reopened her eyes, realizing she had accidentally fallen asleep.
They looked at each other in silence, in a moment where silence spoke louder than words.
Eventually, feeling somewhat embarrassed under Huo Tingxiao’s gaze, Mu Lan spoke first:
“What did the doctor say?”
Huo Tingxiao was startled, not expecting her first words to be about that. He had thought… she would at least ask about Lin Yize or about the car chase.
His voice choked up before he pretended to speak casually:
“It’s just a sequela from the previous car accident; it’s nothing serious, don’t worry.”
Compared to Huo Tingxiao’s nervousness, Mu Lan’s demeanor was unusually calm, so calm that it was unsettling.
“That’s good. I was worried they might find some frightening illness,”
“Nonsense.”
Huo Tingxiao’s tone suddenly became agitated, although he knew Mu Lan was just speaking offhandedly, he still became agitated.
Mu Lan was taken aback, staring at him, her heart aching as she saw the worry in his eyes, almost overwhelming her with its intensity.
“Huo Tingxiao, can you promise me one thing?”
Huo Tingxiao pursed his lips, suddenly feeling his heart rise to his throat as he stared intently at her and said somberly.
“Anything but divorce I’ll agree to.”
