She Lost Memory Before the Divorce

Chapter 106: Chapter 0106: Huo Tingxiao, Do You Actually Like Me or Not?

Yun Xi was getting a headache from the quarreling of two people, and she still had to pick up Huo Tingxiao’s call to report the situation.

“Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo is at Miss Gu’s house.”

“Send me the address.”

“Okay.”

Soon, Huo Tingxiao hurried over and saw the already high Mu Lan, furrowing his eyebrows into a deep frown.

“Hehehe… The dog of a man who dared hang up on me has arrived!”

...

As she spoke, she leaped from the bed with a “whoosh” and grabbed Huo Tingxiao in a koala hug, clinging to him like an octopus and refusing to let go. The scene was a bit too evocative, not suitable for children.

Huo Tingxiao stared at the little troublemaker in front of him, looking at her as if she were a monster; if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he would never believe this person was Mu Lan.

“Why are you getting fierce with me for no reason? You really think I’m afraid of you?”

While acting tough, Mu Lan reached out to pinch Huo Tingxiao’s cheek like pinching a puppy, instantly forming multiple expression packs.

“Look at your doggish face, just like a Husky. Can you stop showing me your cold shoulder? Do I owe you money or something?

Gu Xiaoman already said that you like me, hehehe… Why are you so secretly lustful?

If you like me, just say it. How would I know you like me if you don’t tell me, huh? You agree, don’t you?”

Huo Tingxiao pulled his face back, looking toward Yun Xi, the only sober person present.

“How much did she drink?”

“About ten cans of beer.”

“…”

Huo Tingxiao, feigning a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, plucked the little troublemaker off him like picking up a chick.

“Stand still! Don’t move!”

Mu Lan wobbled and giggled.

“Keep pretending! I’m telling you, Huo Tingxiao, I can see right through you now.

Belch~”

That burp of hers was so potent that Huo Tingxiao wished he could plunge her into ice water to sober her up on the spot.

“Still giving me the cold shoulder, huh? I’m telling you, I’m not afraid of you, hehehe, I’ve lost my memory but I’m no longer the pitiful little thing I used to be. Aren’t you surprised?

Belch~ Tell me, is it necessary for an old man like you to put on airs with me?

Do I look like your employee or subordinate? And you go around telling Gu Xiaoman how women are always so emotional and loving.

All right, all right, you’re so noble, so awesome, like you’ve known ‘The Art of War’ since you were a child. You’re so incredible, why don’t you ascend to heaven then?”

The more Mu Lan spoke, the more enthusiastic she became, while Huo Tingxiao’s face turned as black as charcoal.

And Gu Xiaoman, who was originally too drunk to function, sobered up quite a bit when she saw King Yama in front of her, quickly pulling on Mu Lan’s hand to get her to stop talking.

“Why are you pulling me? Just leave it, I’ll deal with this dog of a man all by myself, crystal clear!”

Gu Xiaoman had a full face of black lines, thinking to herself, what kind of trouble is this? It’s really true that trouble comes from the mouth.

“President Huo, she’s had too much to drink. Don’t take it to heart.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Lan yelled, still daring to betray me right here?

“Gu Xiaoman, what’s with the lack of backbone? Where did the spitfire who was just scolding Shen Zichu go?

I’m telling you, belch~ Huo Tingxiao, it ends today.

If you…ah, ah, ah? Let me down, Huo Tingxiao, you…”

Huo Tingxiao hoisted Mu Lan up like carrying a sack of potatoes, his shoulder digging into her stomach, making her feel unbearably uncomfortable.

Her features scrunched up tightly as she began to dry heave.

“Ugh~ You dog of a man, put me down, I’m going to throw up…”

Huo Tingxiao couldn’t be bothered with her.

“I’m taking her with me.”

Did Gu Xiaoman dare to say no? She nodded like she was pounding garlic.

And she didn’t forget to cross herself in prayer.

Sorry, my dear, but your man is too fierce, and a sister can’t afford to provoke him, awooo!

Just as Huo Tingxiao was about to carry her downstairs, Mu Lan threw up on his back, the warmth of it making his face turn even blacker!

Yun Xi dealt with the aftermath very calmly.

Huo Tingxiao, with a cold expression, stuffed Mu Lan into the car.

Mu Lan continued to be restless inside the car, mumbling on as if she wanted to voice out all the grievances she had accumulated over the days.

“Just because we got married, you use the title ‘Mrs. Huo’ to oppress me.

You take advantage of the fact that I liked you before to pick on me.

If you really find me so unpleasant, why don’t you just divorce me, huh?

You have the chance but you don’t take it, adamantly refusing to divorce, yet you still talk nonsense.

Let me tell you, Huo Tingxiao, this is your one chance. If you don’t seize it, in the future… there’ll be none left. I just want to ask you one thing, do you actually like me or not?”

Throwing herself onto Huo Tingxiao, Mu Lan’s eyes had lost focus, but her tone remained relentless.

“Behave yourself!”

Huo Tingxiao realized this girl was truly his nemesis.

When had he ever been in such a mess?

“Not talking, huh? Fine, you’ve successfully missed this opportunity. Humph, remember this, you dog of a man, you’ve lost your chance.”

Mu Lan spoke bitterly.

Huo Tingxiao’s temples throbbed. He made a mental note that under no circumstance should he ever let her drink again, otherwise…

Not three seconds had passed in silence when Mu Lan started prattling again.

“Ah, why just won’t you admit that you like me, huh?

Hehehe, I get it now, are you afraid that I’ll laugh at you? Don’t worry, I’m very magnanimous.

Come on, I’m all prepared for your confession.”

“…”

Huo Tingxiao closed his eyes and took deep breaths, reminding himself that he must absolutely not stoop to the level of an argument with a drunkard.

The more silent he was, the more enthusiastic Mu Lan became.

“Who would have thought you’d be so shy? Alright, alright, I understand. After all, any guy would like a girl as cute as me.”

Saying this, she wore a ‘I-get-it-all’ expression and extended her hand to pat his shoulder.

The driver He Yan struggled to contain his laughter, but dared not let it out in front of his CEO.

He had never realized that their lady CEO was such a treasure.

“Drive quickly!”

“Yes, Mr. Huo.”

Upon returning to Maple Forest Garden, Housekeeper Li observed Mu Lan’s excited state and Huo Tingxiao’s disheveled appearance behind her.

“I’ll go make some sobering soup.”

Mu Lan stumbled along, nearly falling out of Huo Tingxiao’s arms several times.

Finally in the bedroom, Huo Tingxiao placed her on the soft bed, and Mu Lan rubbed against the blanket.

After taking a shower and changing into a bathrobe in the bathroom, Huo Tingxiao came out to find that Mu Lan had already fallen into a deep sleep, muttering to herself.

“Huo Tingxiao… dog of a man.”

“…”

Huo Tingxiao was speechless.

He approached the bed to tuck Mu Lan in, ready to pull his hand back, only to have it trapped by her turning over.

Facing her face so close at hand, Huo Tingxiao watched, and watched, and was mesmerized.

In his mind replayed her question over and over—do you actually like me or not?

Like…

He didn’t even know what it meant to like someone, so how could he answer?

Gently pulling his hand back, he carefully brushed the hair from her forehead and, unable to help himself, gave her a kiss there. Huo Tingxiao then left the bedroom.

But Mu Lan, sleeping soundly and totally oblivious, still murmured the same question in her daze.

“Dog of a man, do you actually like me or not, hmm… like me or not…”
