She Lost Memory Before the Divorce Chapter 263

Chapter 263: Chapter 0263: Could it be, you want to divorce him? Chapter 263: Chapter 0263: Could it be, you want to divorce him? “Is that okay?”

He asked again, his voice hoarse and pleading, leaving Mu Lan feeling so tender-hearted that she simply couldn't utter a word of refusal.

She just couldn't harden her heart after all.

She figured, well, when she was in Paris, he had taken care of her just like this. Yes, she was merely returning the favor.

“If you don't let go, I'm really going to leave.”

As soon as Huo Tingxiao heard this, he relaxed his grip, but he still held her close.

“Will you stay with me?”

Looking up, his dark eyes filled with her presence, fearful she would refuse, Huo Tingxiao even started shamelessly acting pitiful.

“The doctor didn't say your condition was serious enough to need someone by your bedside.”

Though she murmured this, she still sat back down by the bed. Tingxiao scooted over to make more room for her to sit more comfortably.

“The doctor doesn't know my body like I do. I'm in a lot of pain and need someone to take care of me.”

So, he thinks he knows better than the doctor now, does he?

Mu Lan genuinely hadn't expected Huo Tingxiao, a grown man, could stoop to such shameless tactics.

“Behave yourself, and I'll call a nurse to bring in a folding bed.”

This implied that she would stay, and Tingxiao's lips slightly curled into a smile.

The folding bed was narrow, but fortunately, Mu Lan was petite. Shen Zichu had just finished a surgery and came to see how Tingxiao was doing in the hospital, only to be surprised to find Mu Lan there.

“Did you two make up?”

The question made Mu Lan extremely uncomfortable, prompting her to explain:
“No, I'm just repaying a kindness.”

Huo Tingxiao was unassailable. As long as she stayed, he was genuinely happy.

“Alright then, you two really know how to play games. Hey, take good care of your stomach.”

“You're annoying.”

Shen Zichu glared; he was just kindly reminding her and yet, she didn't appreciate it?

“Hey? I'm giving you my heartfelt concerns, and this is the thanks I get?”

As if he remembered something, Shen Zichu cleared his throat twice.

“Have you been in touch with Gu Xiaoman recently?”

Mu Lan raised an eyebrow, sensing something was off in his tone.

“Isn't she in Iceland? Hasn't she returned yet?”

Shen Zichu sighed.

“I don't know what I did to upset her; she hasn't called or messaged me for days. I've been busy with a conference these past few days and couldn't reach out. I thought she might contact you.”

Mu Lan knew instantly something was wrong. Gu Xiaoman's personality would never allow for a cold war; she'd definitely confront the issue head-on.

“Did you guys have a fight?”

Shen Zichu shook his head; their interaction hardly qualified as a fight. Just a little spat.

“No, we didn't fight. It was just… just a little spat, but that shouldn't be enough for her to ignore me for days.”

Days? Mu Lan grew anxious. How indifferent could this man be, his wife unresponsive for days and he notices nothing?

“Shen Zichu, what's the matter with you? You're married; is it normal to not communicate for two or three days? She's abroad; the least you can do is call her once a day. Can't you even manage that? I really don't understand what's wrong with you men.”

The more she spoke, the angrier Mu Lan got, and she pulled out her phone to call Gu Xiaoman on WeChat.

And as Huo Tingxiao listened to Mu Lan's words, guilt surged within him. Earlier, he often neglected to contact Mu Lan for long periods, whether he was on business trips or whatever else, it was always Mu Lan who reached out first.

He absolutely couldn't bring himself to think about the past, or else he felt like a real scumbag, the kind that everyone denounces.

Mu Lan had finally gotten through with a WeChat voice call, but it wasn't Gu Xiaoman who answered, but a foreigner.

“Hello, are you her friend?”

“Yes, who are you?”

“Oh, I'm the tour guide here. Miss Gu had accidentally fallen into an ice hole earlier and is now in the hospital.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Lan's face drained of color.

Shen Zichu hadn't expected Gu Xiaoman to have an accident like this and immediately took the phone.

“Hello, I am her husband. Please give me your contact details and the hospital address, I will fly over immediately.”

“Oh, okay, okay. I also use WeChat. You can add my WeChat ID, and we can keep in touch.”

Shen Zichu immediately pulled out his phone, added the other party as a WeChat friend, and then hurriedly booked a ticket to Iceland.

Mu Lan was too anxious to scold him, her heart was in her throat.

“How can he be so irresponsible? And Gu Xiaoman too, to have such a big thing happen and not contact me. Do they expect to pretend like nothing happened?”

She was furious. Gu Xiaoman was her best friend, and seeing her treated this way by Shen Zichu was painful.

“No, I need to go see Xiaoman,” she said.

As she spoke, she pulled out her phone to book a flight. Huo Tingxiao watched her, feeling a bit jealous of Gu Xiaoman, but also found the righteous and vivid Mu Lan so endearing that he wanted to cherish and love her.

Before Mu Lan could finish booking her ticket, another WeChat video call came in. It was Gu Xiaoman.

“Xiaoman, are you okay?”

As soon as the video started, Gu Xiaoman was propped up in bed, apparently just having woken up.

“I'm fine, I'm fine. I was afraid you'd book a trip and fly over as soon as you found out. Don't come, I'll be discharged tomorrow, it's nothing serious.”

But Mu Lan felt uneasy and still wanted to visit her.

“What is wrong with you? How could you not mention something this serious? If Zichu hadn't asked me today, you might have kept it to yourself, right?”

Gu Xiaoman just giggled, not taking it seriously.

“Ah, I told you I was fine. I was just too excited, and accidentally fell in. That water was absolutely freezing.

Then people hurriedly pulled me out. I was so unsteady that I fainted on the spot. It was scary.”

Her nonchalant manner truly frightened Mu Lan.

“And you're still laughing, you…”

“Look at you, you were even kidnapped in Paris and you didn't dare tell me, right? Baby, it seems like it's always the older brother problem, not the younger brother one.”

Mu Lan, feeling indignant, retorted:
“That's because I had Huo Tingxiao by my side, he could definitely protect me. But you, you were alone, is that the same?”

She spoke with righteousness, and Huo Tingxiao looked up at her, his lips couldn't help but curve into a smile, his heart brimming with uncontrollable joy, realizing that she understood everything.

“Alright, alright, stop flaunting your love in front of me. I know Huo Tingxiao is willing to go through life and death for you.

Why treat a patient like this?”

Mu Lan sighed.

“Zichu just found out and immediately booked a ticket to come for you.”

As soon as Mu Lan mentioned Shen Zichu, Gu Xiaoman suddenly stopped talking.

“What's the matter? Did you two really have a fight?”

Gu Xiaoman was silent for a while.

“Well, not exactly a fight, but I suddenly understand why he was so anxious to marry me.

I thought there was something wrong with him, it turns out… Lanlan, I think I've become a divorced woman.”

When Gu Xiaoman said this, Mu Lan was stunned.

“Gu Xiaoman, what do you mean by that? Are you planning to divorce him?”
