She Lost Memory Before the Divorce Chapter 264

Chapter 264: Chapter 0264: Will Cherish You Well Chapter 264: Chapter 0264: Will Cherish You Well Gu Xiaoman on the other end gave a bitter laugh.

“It's not that I want to divorce, it's that maybe our marriage was a mistake from the beginning.

It's good that he is coming, we should really have a talk, it's better to clear up some things.”

Mu Lan could tell that Gu Xiaoman actually felt terrible, but she was used to pretending everything was okay with laughs and jests–she seemed carefree, but in fact, she was incredibly sensitive.

“Xiaoman, whatever decision you make, I will support you.”

Gu Xiaoman almost burst into tears, thankfully she had come to a realization over these days.

“Hey, I'm okay, just thinking about how I used to persuade you, now that it's my turn, I finally understand there's no such thing as putting oneself in another's shoes, everyone has their own difficulties.

When I return to the country, I'll come find you, I'm going to hang up now.”

Mu Lan nodded and gave a few more words of caution before hanging up.

Huo Tingxiao heard the conversation clearly, his heart thumping wildly, afraid that Mu Lan would be implicated, seeing Shen Zichu and Gu Xiaoman argue and thinking about what was between them.

“Does Shen Zichu have someone he loves?”

Mu Lan looked up at Huo Tingxiao, her eyes piercing.

Huo Tingxiao pondered for a while.

“This is between them, I think it's better to let them solve it on their own.”

The words sounded nice, but it was clearly avoidance.

“So, is there someone, or not?”

Huo Tingxiao was silent, Mu Lan snorted.

“It seems there is, then what is Shen Zichu doing, proposing to Gu Xiaoman when he has someone else he loves?

He knows well that Gu Xiaoman is not someone to be trifled with, why provoke her?

If you don't like her, just say you don't like her; what's the point in doing this?”

Mu Lan couldn't help but get angry, thinking about Shen Zichu deceiving Gu Xiaoman's feelings made her furious.

Huo Tingxiao watched her cheeks flush with anger, feeling awkward and uncertain about what to say, especially considering his sensitive position now, he had to be careful with his words.

“Why aren't you saying anything? What, won't you defend your good brother a bit?”

At Mu Lan's questioning, Huo Tingxiao felt a strong surge of the will to survive.

“There's nothing good to defend; he should know how to handle his own affairs.”

But clearly, this answer was very unsatisfactory to Mu Lan.

“You've known him so long, you must know who he likes.”

Huo Tingxiao felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, wondering what he should say at that moment. Telling the truth might add fuel to the fire, but if he didn't say it, Mu Lan would definitely think he was protecting Shen Zichu. After weighing it up, he decided to betray Shen Zichu completely in a spirit of self-preservation.

“It's his college classmate, but it has always been unrequited love; the other person doesn't know.”

Unrequited love… Mu Lan pursed her lips.

“He never confessed? Just stayed by that person's side as a friend?”

Obviously, Mu Lan was skeptical; Shen Zichu's personality hardly supported that possibility.

“Yes, now that person is also married, so, I think the past…”

“What do you mean by the past? Haven't you seen how Shen Zichu behaves when he doesn't contact Gu Xiaoman for two or three days?

He was the one who proposed; Gu Xiaoman didn't force the marriage, and since they are already married, he should sort out his previous feelings and make a fresh start.

Gu Xiaoman is not a petty person, she wouldn't dwell on the past, but this time I truly see Shen Zichu's true colors.

Too outrageous. Gu Xiaoman is such a good person, and yet he dares to hurt her, what a scumbag.”

Huo Tingxiao watched Mu Lan, she had never been this angry discussing their own past affairs.

Suddenly he remembered Gu Xiaoman once said–Lanlan is such a person, she's very forgiving about her own issues, but can't stand to see the people around her suffer even a little. Huo Tingxiao, she is a good girl worthy of being cherished.

“Shen Zichu is only blind because he is in the middle of it all, when he realizes his feelings for Gu Xiaoman…”

“It's too late now, why should Xiaoman have to wait for him to realize? Are all you men like this? You don't cherish what you have when you have it, and when you lose it, you desperately want it back.”

He really had fanned the flames, but Huo Tingxiao knew Mu Lan had always been upset.

“I'm better than Shen Zichu, I've never liked anyone before, I just realized it a bit late.”

The more he spoke, the less confident he became–seven years, that wasn't just a bit late.

“What, you're proud of that?”

Mu Lan really hadn't seen someone so shameless before, and yet could still say such things.

“No, no, I'm just afraid of the bystander getting caught in the crossfire.”

Huo Tingxiao was being honest, anyway, for the sake of winning back his wife, he didn't care about brotherhood anymore.

“I don't know about the city gate catching fire, but Shen Zichu shouldn't expect to easily coax Gu Xiaoman back this time.

Xiaoman is more sensitive than I am, she seems carefree, but actually, she lacks a sense of security. Her family situation is quite complicated, and she's suffered a lot over the years.”

Mu Lan felt terrible, wishing she could immediately fly to Gu Xiaoman's side to see her.

But Huo Tingxiao was right, these matters are between two people, and often outsiders can't clarify them.

“Gu Xiaoman is indeed a good girl, and Shen Zichu will cherish her properly, just like I will cherish you.”

Mu Lan looked up; he really seized every opportunity to express his love.

“I'm going to wash up, let's rest early.”

Tired of responding to Huo Tingxiao's words, Mu Lan decided to play dumb to the end.

The hospital room was pitch black, no one spoke.

Huo Tingxiao thought for a moment, then asked softly:
“Are you asleep?”

“Mhm.”

It was almost a reflexive answer, which made the atmosphere somewhat awkward, as nobody really responds while sleeping.

“Mu Lan, I know I still need to make a lot of effort for you to see my sincerity.

I'm not afraid to wait, as long as you are by my side, I will strive for you to see my change.

Many things in the past were my fault, and I know saying this now might just seem like excuses. I always focused on doing what I thought was right, neglecting the people who should have been the focus of my attention.

You've suffered too much because of me, I'm truly sorry.

From now on, I will definitely treat you well, love you, and not let you be wronged.”

Huo Tingxiao's tone was very sincere, making Mu Lan's heart race.

“It's late, you should sleep early.”

“Mhm, you should sleep early too, good night.”

Although Huo Tingxiao felt a bit disappointed, he was more motivated, believing that eventually, clouds would part to reveal the moon.

After a good night's sleep, Mu Lan woke up only to startle herself by not finding herself on the folding wear, looking at the man with even breaths beside her, she was momentarily disoriented.

What's going on, how could she be in the same bed with him? And even hugging his waist, with one leg over him?

Help, what in the world is this situation!

Huo Tingxiao, groggily waking up and seeing her baffled face, smiled slightly and greeted her.

“Morning.”

Mu Lan was completely dumbfounded and couldn't speak a word.

Huo Tingxiao, experienced in handling such situations, explained:
“It's just sleepwalking, don't be scared.”
