She Lost Memory Before the Divorce
Chapter 276 - Chapter 276 Chapter 0276 Sweetness in the Heart

Chapter 276: Chapter 0276: Sweetness in the Heart Chapter 276: Chapter 0276: Sweetness in the Heart The second conversation ended inconclusively once again, and Gu Xiaoman gave Shen Zichu three days to consider either dealing with Shao Wei or… getting a divorce.

Before, Shen Zichu used to mock Huo Tingxiao, but now, it’s over; he has become a fellow sufferer, and even worse off than Huo Tingxiao.

Huo Tingxiao wasn’t sympathetic to Shen Zichu because he had only recently started to improve, at least to the point where Mu Lan wasn’t repulsed by him anymore.

“No one can help you with matters of the heart, and moreover, I had already warned you about Shao Wei.”

Shen Zichu felt a headache coming on. Divorcing Gu Xiaoman was absolutely not an option, but bringing Shao Wei back had been decided before they were married. Now, because of his own actions, if he drove her away, what would he become?

“Tingxiao, I’m really out of ideas right now. Can you help me think of a way to solve Shao Wei’s issue?”

Gu Xiaoman wasn’t entirely unreasonable; it was just that she was particularly stubborn about certain things, and now the two of them were at a deadlock…”

Huo Tingxiao pointed out Shen Zichu with a single phrase.

“You’re unwilling to pay the price for your own actions, Shen Zichu. Since when was there ever such a good deal?”

“The reason Gu Xiaoman is doing this is because of you; you can’t blame anyone else.”

Shen Zichu felt bitter inside.

“How can I blame anyone else? You also know about the situation of the Shen Family. Initially, I brought Shao Wei in to foster more of my own people in the hospital, otherwise those popular departments would have been monopolized by those old timers.

Currently, I can’t even get my foot in the door of the neurology department, and only barely manage to compete in thoracic and obstetrics combined. It’s really headache-inducing.

I really regret it now; trying to take a shortcut, and as a result, I’ve buried such a huge mine for myself.

If I put myself in Gu Xiaoman’s shoes, if she treated me this way, I’d definitely explode, but… I definitely wouldn’t have thought of divorce.

The girl who was usually so playful, when it gets serious, it really scares me.”

Huo Tingxiao pondered for a while.

“To encircle Wei to rescue Zhao might also be a good method.”

Shen Zichu was stunned for a moment, then understood his meaning.

“It always has to be you at the critical moments, how did I not think of that? Yeah, why do I have to focus on neurosurgery?

I can move obstetrics to a branch hospital, this way the intersections would also be reduced, and Gu Xiaoman could feel at ease.”

Huo Tingxiao hadn’t expected Shen Zichu to still be adhering to this idea; it seemed the guy still hadn’t come to his senses.

His strategy to encircle Wei to rescue Zhao didn’t even include Shao Wei. Was there a need to connect well with Shao Wei or were there too many other methods?

Continuing to stay in the hospital, whether it’s the branch or the main hospital, it’s just slightly better than nothing; Gu Xiaoman definitely won’t accept this outcome. Shen Zichu, this person, was stuck in a dead end.

“I’ll be waiting to see you at the ‘Chase-wife funeral’.”

After saying that, he hung up.

Shen Zichu was stunned, feeling that there was something more to Huo Tingxiao’s words just now.

But Huo Tingxiao didn’t give him a chance to ask again and simply ended the call.

Huo Tingxiao finally understood where Mu Lan’s words came from, if only he had someone clear-sighted around him back then, he wouldn’t have wasted so much time with Mu Lan. Such poor company he kept.

Right now, Shen Zichu clearly still wasn’t seeing things clearly. A career could be pursued again; sooner or later wouldn’t make a difference, losing one Shao Wei wouldn’t injure the core, but having no wife left would mean only having this one.

However, he knew all too clearly in his heart that discussing this with Shen Zichu at this time was useless, some things he had to experience for himself.

Just that he didn’t know if it would be too late by then. Gu Xiaoman was a very decisive girl, and also quite insecure, not like Mu Lan, who grew up in a honey pot, a girl with a heart full of love and unyielding enthusiasm, otherwise, she wouldn’t have persisted with him for so many years.

Thinking of this, Huo Tingxiao’s heart ached even more for Mu Lan, and he promptly made a call to her.

Mu Lan was in her studio drafting patterns, her brow furrowed in rush, feeling like she was suddenly back in her college days.

As the ringtone sounded, Mu Lan saw it was Huo Tingxiao and answered the call.

“Hello? What’s up?”

Without a hint of hesitation, he responded:

“I miss you.”

Mu Lan was momentarily dazed, then her face flushed red.

“Cough cough… drank too much?”

Huo Tingxiao’s lips curled up slightly, a smile in his eyes.

“No, I just wanted to tell you that.”

Mu Lan really couldn’t handle how suddenly clingy he was and changed the subject.

“I’m busy with Liu Ai’s dress; if there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”

“Hmm.”

Huo Tingxiao obediently waited for Mu Lan to hang up the phone.

After hearing the dial tone on the other end, Mu Lan felt oddly puzzled. Had he called just to say these few words?

“Crazy…”

While she said that, she couldn’t help but smile slightly, feeling a bit of sweetness in her heart.

An hour later, there was a commotion outside the office, and the girls clapped fiercely. Mu Lan furrowed her brows, with a tape measure still hanging around her neck and her hair casually coiled up with a pencil, a few strands loosely framing her face, casual yet charming.

Huo Tingxiao watched as the door opened and she came out, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Mu Lan saw that the conference table was filled with food and drinks, and the boxes indicated it was afternoon tea from the top floor of the Huo Hotel, quite pricey. Mr. Huo truly had a grand style.

“Mu Lan, brother-in-law is so awesome, the afternoon tea is superb!”

“Perfect for a couple’s show-off, ah, I’m feeling jealous.”

“Mu Lan, this coffee tastes amazing.”

“Mu Lan, Mu Lan, when will you let brother-in-law organize a joint gathering for the two companies, hahaha…”

The bunch of girls really didn’t consider themselves outsiders anymore. Huo Tingxiao enjoyed hearing them call him ‘brother-in-law’.

Especially Tang Xin, since the last wine party, she became the leader of the ‘couple’s fan club,’ relying on her imagination when they weren’t together, and now seeing them in person, she had a big, aunty-like smile.

Mu Lan didn’t expect that after Huo Tingxiao had hung up the phone, he would cause such a big commotion and was overwhelmed as the group of girls teased her until her face flushed.

But to maintain a bit of her boss’ dignity, she suppressed the surging emotions inside her.

“How come you’re here?”

“Came to recharge.”

Huo Tingxiao stated, sounding completely justified.

Mu Lan chuckled and swept a glance at the employees, who immediately focused their attention on the food and drinks as they had initially been waiting for a spectacle.

He Jin was still holding a dessert specially prepared for Mu Lan, which Huo Tingxiao took over, and they walked one after another towards the tailoring workshop.

As they entered, the mess inside made Huo Tingxiao marvel.

Mu Lan felt a bit embarrassed.

“Put it on that small table, my place isn’t as grand as your office.”

“Is this the dress for Liu Ai?”

“Yeah.”

Huo Tingxiao walked over to look, and although it was still just a rough outline, it had already caught the eye.

He had never known before that Mu Lan had this skill, and now seeing the semi-finished product, he felt a certain indescribable emotion.

He turned his head to look at Mu Lan again, feeling as if the young girl from before had suddenly grown up and transformed into something else, radiantly dazzling.

His straightforward gaze made Mu Lan feel somewhat flustered and she changed the subject:

“Has Shen Zichu contacted you?”

Bringing up this matter gave Huo Tingxiao a bit of a headache.

“Hmm.”
