She Lost Memory Before the Divorce Chapter 258

Chapter 258: Chapter 0258: Without Mu Lan, I Can't Live Chapter 258: Chapter 0258: Without Mu Lan, I Can't Live Mu Lan noticed that Lin Yize's expression was not warm but merely polite as he greeted her.

“Senior Lin.”

Lin Yize was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Mu Lan to appear at his home. When he looked towards Yun Meixian, a complex emotion flickered in the depths of his eyes.

“When did you arrive?”

His tone was as gentle as ever.

Mu Lan had no intention of avoiding anything and replied simply and directly.

“Miss Luo said she wanted to visit Aunt Yun, so she brought me along.”

Lin Yize frowned slightly. Luo Ning? How did she get mixed up with Mu Lan? But when he thought of Pei Zhao, he had a good guess about the reason behind it.

“Have you been well recently?”

Although he tried to keep calm, Lin Yize couldn't help the emotions that surged in his eyes.

Yun Meixian could see that her son was trying hard to restrain himself; alas, fate plays tricks on us.

“Yes. Aunt Yun, now that Senior Lin is back, I won't disturb you anymore. Please take good care of yourself.”

Yun Meixian nodded, not trying to keep her.

Lin Yize opened his mouth, but some words remained unspoken; in the end, he could only say dryly.

“Then let me walk you out.”

Mu Lan's face bore a polite and distant smile.

“No need to be polite, just take good care of Aunt Yun.”

With that, she stood up and walked towards the entryway. As she brushed past Lin Yize, he almost couldn't resist the urge to reach out and grab her wrist for a second.

Yun Xi, who had been silently observing the entire time, was relieved that Lin Yize had not done anything improper.

After Mu Lan left with Yun Xi, a deathly silence enveloped the room.

Yun Meixian coughed a few times and consoled him:
“Son, let it go. Lanlan she…”

Lin Yize looked up at Yun Meixian.

“Mom, if Mu Lan wasn't Huo Tingxiao's woman, would you still be advising me this way?”

Yun Meixian was taken aback.

“Why would you have such a thought? No matter who her husband is, you must not cross ethical boundaries and do things you shouldn't.”

Lin Yize laughed bitterly.

“What's not supposed to happen? What's wrong with loving someone?”

Yun Meixian knew how deep Lin Yize's feelings for Mu Lan were, but principles are principles.

“Liking is wanton, love is restrained! The person Lanlan loves is not you. Love is about the right timing, the right place, and the right people. Son, you have to understand that there will be no outcome between you and her.

Letting go sooner is freeing yourself–do you understand?”

Freeing himself? Lin Yize's eyelids dropped. How was he supposed to free himself? He didn't even dare to think about how he would live without Mu Lan in the future.

“Mom, you know that everything I've done these past years has been to become worthy of her, all in the hope… that one day I could have the right to stand by her side.

I've worked so hard to achieve what I have now. I could give her a worry-free life, make sure she never has to suffer. Why can't you give me a chance to try?

Do you know? That man never treasured her.

They were wrong for seven years, their relationship was never about the right timing, the right place, or the right people.”

Yun Meixian looked at Lin Yize, who seemed somewhat obsessed, and her eyes reddened. She too ached for her son, but matters of the heart cannot be forced.

“Whether it's wrong or right is not for bystanders to say.

Even if that relationship is unbearable, it's still Mu Lan's life, and every adult needs a basic sense of boundaries, even family members.

Son, I know that for years, you've been waiting silently, wanting to become a better man for her, but have you thought about it? Mu Lan never asked you to do any of this.”

Lin Yize stared blankly at Yun Meixian, at a loss for words for a moment.

Because she was not wrong at all, he had loved Mu Lan for a full nine years, since the day he first laid eyes on her when, as a school senior representative, he watched her speak on behalf of the freshmen during the opening ceremony.

In the two years of campus life that followed, he was always careful to cherish the matters of his young heart.

He was conflicted, hoping she would notice, yet afraid of her discovering.

For her, he rejected the advances of all other girls.

For her, he risked fighting with the school bullies in secret, wishing only for her to be safe and sound.

And…

After finding out she was the young mistress of the Mu Family, he decided to bridge the gap between them by resolutely choosing to study abroad, striving to create a world of his own, all in the hopes that one day he would be worthy of her.

A young man's inferiority was buried deep in his heart; he dared not confess his love, nor did he want his beloved girl to suffer with him, so he kept his affection hidden inside for nine long years…

In life, how many sets of nine years does one get?

Forgetting her would be as unbearable and painful as carving a hole in his own heart.

“Mom, I can't forget her, and I don't want to forget.

If Huo Tingxiao treasures her, loves her, maybe I would bless them.

But when I learned that she didn't have a good time last year, I… just want to take her back.

Someone like her deserves to be cherished and loved dearly.

Huo Tingxiao, he doesn't deserve Mu Lan!”

After uttering the last words fiercely, Lin Yize clenched his fists tightly, his eyes red with emotion.

Yun Meixian sighed.

“Son, in matters of the heart, it's not about who deserves whom, but who wants to be with whom, who loves whom. Continuing like this will only hurt yourself.

Cough cough… I have spoken my piece; you're an adult. You know what you should and shouldn't do without me having to repeat it over and over.

A true man must know what to do and what not to do; think about it yourself.”

With that, Yun Meixian got up and went to her bedroom, leaving Lin Yize alone, sitting on the living room couch.

Letting out a heavy sigh, Lin Yize leaned back on the couch, staring at the ceiling, his eyes gradually unfocusing.

—–
Leaving Yun Meixian's place, Mu Lan's mind couldn't stop replaying the repressed and restrained look Lin Yize gave her.

She really didn't expect that Lin Yize, whom she had always considered like an older brother, could actually…

Was she too oblivious, or had he hidden it too well?

Whichever it was, she only knew that she did not like Lin Yize, nor did she want to give him any false hope.

Today's decision to visit Yun Meixian with Luo Ning might not have been a good one, but at least… Yun Meixian surely knew her stance and would probably advise Lin Yize properly.

“Yun Xi.”

“Hmm.”

“When I lost my memory before, was I close to Aunt Yun?”

Yun Xi was silent for a moment.

“Hmm.”

Indeed, one can't fool their feelings.

Mu Lan couldn't explain it herself; she simply felt drawn to Yun Meixian.

The ringtone of her cellphone suddenly interrupted Mu Lan's thoughts.

Looking at the flashing name on the screen, Mu Lan answered with a hint of surprise.

“Hello? Do you have time now?”

Hearing the voice from the other end of the phone, Mu Lan smiled.

“Of course, an invitation from a very busy person is always welcome any time.”
