Chapter 11: Chapter 0011: Went Crazy for Her
Mu Lan tried to break free from the grip of several people with brute force, but she found it was useless.
Just as they were about to drag her away, a car suddenly screeched to a halt in front of them with a loud “screech.”
The headlights fiercely shone on the group, blinding them.
“Fuck, who's that? Don't you know how to drive!”
He Mingxu didn't yet realize he was on the brink of death as he cursed and shouted belligerently.
The car door was opened, and a tall man slowly approached, while the bastards naturally couldn't recognize who he was.
But as He Mingxu made out the man's face, his eyes filled with terror.
“C-cousin?”
Meanwhile, Mu Lan, seeing Huo Tingxiao descend from the sky like a god, was so moved that she shed tears.
“Who the hell is this, messing up our plan? Can't you see we're busy here… Ah!”
The bastard who had been mocking didn't even finish his sentence before Huo Tingxiao grabbed his finger, twisted it upwards forcefully, and the finger bent into a distorted shape – the bone was broken.
Seeing Mu Lan's disheveled hair and wrinkled clothes, her skirt nearly pulled up to her thighs, made him furious.
His eyes turned bloodshot, and he resembled Asura crawling out from hell, his entire body radiating destructive fury.
“Fuck it, let's get him! I don't believe we can't take this guy down.”
In an instant, the bastards surrounded him, but within minutes, either their legs were broken or their arms were dislocated, and some had been hit in the ribs.
They fell in heaps, lying on the ground and howling in pain.
Mu Lan shivered, her legs gave way, and she collapsed. Watching the scene unfold before her, her tears fell uncontrollably.
And it wasn't over yet; Huo Tingxiao left He Mingxu for last to deal with him alone. A few uppercuts sent the little bastard sprawling on the ground searching for his teeth. Still unsatisfied, he continued to kick He Mingxu in the stomach, even as he lay on the ground.
Mr. He rushed forward to stop Huo Tingxiao, fearing that in his rage he might accidentally go too far and kill someone.
“Mr. Huo, please calm down, your wife is here.”
Huo Tingxiao paused, his fist stopped mid-air, and eventually, he retracted it.
He turned and walked step by step toward Mu Lan, who was sitting dazed on the ground, feeling as if someone were clutching his heart.
He deeply regretted that he had actually kicked her out of the car earlier. If he hadn't changed his mind, looked back, and come back a moment later, he didn't dare to think what might have happened to Mu Lan.
“Mu Lan…”
When he spoke, Huo Tingxiao's voice was uncontrollably hoarse.
Mu Lan flinched instinctively, then her eyes gradually focused, and she realized the man before her was Huo Tingxiao.
Her emotions found an outlet, and she started to pummel Huo Tingxiao's chest frantically.
“Waaaa, why did you take so long, why did you take so long, they… they were about to take me to a hotel.
Huo Tingxiao, they were going to… waaa…”
The thought of what she had almost experienced made Mu Lan cry inconsolably, her cries gut-wrenching.
Huo Tingxiao let her beat him up; he indeed deserved it.
No matter how angry he was, he shouldn't have jeopardized her safety.
It was extremely dangerous for a girl to be out alone in the middle of the night; as an adult man, how could he not realize that?
To act like that just because of that ridiculous jealousy…
Jealousy?
Huo Tingxiao was taken aback by his own thought.
The emotions that he had refused to admit just moments ago were now undeniable.
“It's my fault, my fault, it's over now, it's over now.”
He held Mu Lan in his embrace, consoling her with patience and caution, his tone unusually gentle.
Mu Lan clung to his clothes tightly, sobbing into Huo Tingxiao's shoulder.
“You are not allowed to leave me like that ever again!”
She choked up and seized the opportunity to make requests.
“Okay, I will never leave you behind like that again.”
Seldom was he so tender and compliant, Mu Lan couldn't resist pushing her luck.
“Then… then you mustn't speak to me in a sarcastic tone anymore.”
“Okay, no sarcasm,” Huo Tingxiao said helplessly but had to coax her with a good temper nonetheless.
“And you also have to…”
“Don't push your luck.”
Realizing she had come around, Huo Tingxiao really spared no face.
Mu Lan pouted; he really was a ruthless businessman, not willing to agree even to two small requests.
Forget it, considering he was somewhat sincere, she decided to take what she could get and back down.
“Huo Tingxiao… my legs are numb, I can't get up.”
Huo Tingxiao frowned, took off his suit jacket, tied the sleeves around her waist, and then scooped her up in a princess carry.
She was so light, weighing no more than a quail.
Mu Lan sniffled pitifully as she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned on him.
Assistant He saw the two of them like this and very perceptively said he would handle the rest, not forgetting to carefully remind them to drive safely and have a smooth journey home.
————–
Mu Lan was taken to the hospital, where Huo Tingxiao forcefully had her undergo a bunch of check-ups, and only after confirming that she had some minor external abrasions, did he feel relieved.
Seeing how concerned he was, Mu Lan felt as if she had been stung by a bee right in her heart.
In the past, when they were at odds, Huo Tingxiao would only bully her; never had he been this gentle and attentive.
If he could be like this all the time, perhaps… it wasn't impossible for them to live a good life together.
Looking at his handsome profile, Mu Lan found herself entranced.
“What's the matter? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
His anxious tone made Mu Lan's ears redden slightly, and she hurriedly looked away.
“No, there's nothing uncomfortable.
We've nearly finished all the checks, I want to go home.”
Not noticing Mu Lan's reaction, Huo Tingxiao finally relaxed.
Shen Zichu, who had been dragged to the hospital for an emergency shift in the middle of the night, saw Huo Tingxiao and, like he'd discovered a new continent, grabbed him and asked inquisitively.
“What's going on with you? Why are you suddenly so concerned about Mu Lan? This isn't like you, is it?
Have the two of you made up? Planning to live a good life together now?”
“You talk too much.”
Huo Tingxiao frowned, thinking that Shen Zichu should not be a doctor but a paparazzo instead.
“Ah, why can't you appreciate the good intentions? I'm concerned about you.
I heard she was in a car accident and was sent to the First People's Hospital. Is it because of this incident, you suddenly realized that you can't lose her, and then the two of you got back together…”
He was silenced by Huo Tingxiao's icy glare.
Alright, from childhood to adulthood, Shen Zichu feared nothing in heaven or on earth except Huo Tingxiao's silence.
“Zichu, do you think if a person loses their memory, they could develop a completely different personality?”
Shen Zichu was stunned, then looked at Mu Lan in disbelief.
“Holy shit, she has amnesia? I thought she seemed strange, like a completely different person from before. Ah, if the personality has also changed, that might be Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)!”
Dissociative Identity Disorder? Huo Tingxiao frowned, he only knew of the term from novels—like “Sybil.”
