Chapter 338: Chapter 0338 Huo Tingxiao, I Love You, So Much Love You Chapter 338: Chapter 0338 Huo Tingxiao, I Love You, So Much Love You Pei Zhao gradually stopped smiling.

“What can a cripple like me do? Is Mrs. Huo too nervous, or why did she start threatening me?”

Mu Lan no longer held back, and ruthlessly tore off his fig leaf.

“Your being disabled is not Huo Tingxiao’s fault. Were you the only one who risked your life for him?

Has Huo Tingxiao never risked his life for you? Why do you blame your misfortunes on him? What did he do wrong? Did he intentionally cripple your legs?”

Instead of getting angry, Pei Zhao laughed and looked at Huo Tingxiao.

“Is this what you told her? That you risked your life for me?”

Huo Tingxiao darkened his eyes, about to explain, but Mu Lan beat him to it:
“He never said anything, but I understand Huo Tingxiao. You guys undertook many dangerous missions together; dangers were more than once. Didn’t you face difficulties and dangers? Didn’t Huo Tingxiao help you then?

Pei Zhao, do you dare say that it’s always been Huo Tingxiao taking advantage of you and never giving anything in return? Huh?”

Pei Zhao sneered.

“Yes, he was really good to me. After my legs became useless, the Huo Family sent me overseas and he stopped caring about me. Is that being good to me?

Huo Tingxiao, I really didn’t expect you to be so pathetic, complaining to a woman, huh?”

Huo Tingxiao looked at Pei Zhao coldly.

“Pei Zhao, stop while you’re ahead. You’re just relying on my guilt towards you.

If you exhaust this guilt, do you think you can compete against me?”

Pei Zhao’s eyes reddened. He certainly knew what kind of person Huo Tingxiao was. Although they were called twins, it was more like one was born to shine while the other to reflect.

Huo Tingxiao was always a step ahead of him in every way.

Pei Zhao used to be unyielding and envious, but now… he wondered why? Why did all the good things in this world belong only to him?

So he was not willing to give up!

No matter what it took, win if you can, lose if you must, but always king!

“You can’t even handle Huo Corporation and yet you have the nerve to talk big with me?

How the Huo Family bullied me, I will bully them back the same way.

I’m still alive; thanks to the heavens, not a grace from you. Don’t pretend in front of me.

Huo Tingxiao, you’re just a pathetic worm. Do you think having this woman by your side can erase the fact that you’re not a normal person?

You don’t know yet? Actually, there’s a big secret about you.”

No sooner had Pei Zhao finished speaking than Mu Lan stepped forward, grabbed his wrist, and threatened him fiercely:
“Pei Zhao, do you think you can bring down Huo Tingxiao with your nonsense? I warn you, if you target him again, I will make you regret coming to Sea City!”

Before Pei Zhao could respond, Mu Lan released his hand and pulled Huo Tingxiao away from the venue.

Her steps were so fast; Huo Tingxiao followed behind, eyeing her retreating figure, feeling an increasing sense of unease. She was really off today.

“Mu Lan, did you find out something?”

Mu Lan paused subconsciously, then casually took his hand and continued walking.

“What do I know? I just can’t stand seeing Pei Zhao act like he’s someone important. In the future, if Jiancheng has any business, I’ll have my brother intercept it!”

Listening to her childish words, a gentleness appeared in Huo Tingxiao’s eyes.

“Business isn’t child’s play; interests are eternal. Nothing is more important than interests, understand?”

Mu Lan instinctively retorted.

“This kind of person, why should we talk about interests with him? We should completely cut off his way back! He has a corrupt heart, Huo Tingxiao, you can’t…”

Huo Tingxiao’s deep, dark eyes looked at her.

“Sweetheart, tell me, what exactly did you find out?”

Mu Lan avoided his gaze.

“It’s nothing, just some idle gossip. Talking about it would only make people angry.

Husband, let’s go home. I’m hungry.”

She tried to coyly change the subject, but Huo Tingxiao was not willing to let it go easily.

“You’re lying to me.”

His tone was calm and somewhat helpless, without any blame. He knew it must be something that troubled her greatly; otherwise, she would have spoken out.

It was more than just some irrelevant gossip from others. After all, he had always faced a lot of public scrutiny and had heard even harsher things.

“Can I just not talk about it?”

Mu Lan was out of options and had to resort to this.

This matter was too significant. Until she thought of a good way to handle it, she couldn’t discuss it with Huo Tingxiao.

“Fine, you can do whatever you want.”

Huo Tingxiao’s indulgence only made Mu Lan feel worse.

Why should someone as wonderful as him have to suffer so much misfortune?

Suddenly, Mu Lan hugged Huo Tingxiao tightly, not caring that they were at the bustling entrance of a hotel.

“Huo Tingxiao, I love you, I really love you so much. No matter what happens, you must remember, you are loved and you deserve to be loved, understand?”

Huo Tingxiao was indescribably moved at that moment; the girl in his arms was confessing her love so openly and boldly.

He stretched out his arms and held her tightly to him.

“Hmm, I know. It’s worth being here because of you.”

Mu Lan was still a bit scared. She felt somewhat emptiness inside and a bit unstable.

“Then promise me. No matter what happens, you must never doubt yourself, never… belittle yourself. You will always be the best in my heart, understand?”

Huo Tingxiao couldn’t help but cupped her face, gently kissing her forehead.

“Don’t worry, Mrs. Huo. Mr. Huo is very confident.”

The sour feeling in Mu Lan’s chest gradually dissolved.

…

In the venue, Yun Meixian found Lin Yize looking unsettled.

“Xiaoze, I want to go back. I’m a bit tired.”

Lin Yize of course knew what would happen and regretted it momentarily.

“Mom…”

“I’m sorry if my leaving early causes you any inconvenience, I…”

Lin Yize felt terribly uneasy. He regretted bringing her to such an event, which besides making her sad, held no other benefit.

“Alright, I’ll have someone take you home.”

Yun Meixian nodded.

Quickly, Lin Yize fetched his assistant and instructed him to escort Yun Meixian away. But no sooner had they left, Huo Qidong followed them, even leaving Xian Yaping at the banquet.

When Xian Yaping realized she was left behind, she was so infuriated she nearly lost her temper on the spot.

Huo Qidong’s car followed behind Yun Meixian’s to her residence. He knew this action seemed like that of a stalker, but he just couldn’t help himself.

Barely having the chance to see her again, he didn’t want to just watch her from afar without doing anything.

He even wondered what kind of man lived with her.

Or perhaps her husband had already… Otherwise, why would Lin Yize have brought only her?

The thought that she might be alone spurred a certain idea in Huo Qidong’s mind, like a seed taking root and sprouting.

He wanted to mend their broken relationship, he longed to have this woman back.
