She Lost Memory Before the Divorce

Chapter 148: Chapter 0148 Enjoying Being in Love with Someone

“Aiyo, Director Shen is busy,”

The newcomer was a female doctor in a white coat, who approached Shen Zichu with a bright smile and playfully bumped his elbow like a buddy.

Mu Lan looked up and instinctively glanced at Shen Zichu, noticing his relaxed expression, which clearly indicated a good relationship with the other person.

“Why haven’t you gotten off work yet?”

“I wish I could leave now, but I’ve just arrived at the hospital and need to adapt. I’m trying to appear diligent in front of you, the big boss.

“Hello, my name is Shao Wei, and I was Director Shen’s college classmate.”

The woman extended her hand naturally and generously, and Mu Lan also stretched out her hand very politely to shake it.

“Hello, I’m his childhood friend’s wife, Mu Lan.”

Shao Wei paused, then her smile grew broader.

“Huo Tingxiao’s wife? I heard he got married before I went abroad, and I was quite curious about his wife.

“You look so young, just like a university student.”

Mu Lan smiled shyly, thinking to herself, ‘I’m just a high school graduate, unfortunately, I can’t tell the truth.’

“Thank you.”

“Don’t be so formal, I’m good buddies with Zichu. By that account, I should call you sister-in-law.”

Shen Zichu conveyed his helplessness through his eyes and explained to Mu Lan:

“That’s just how she is, a tomboy. Don’t be scared by her.”

Upon hearing this, Shao Wei made a funny face.

“Pfft, I might be a tomboy, but my dear Yang Fan still loves me to death, hehe.”

Mu Lan, listening to this, somehow felt more relieved. She had been concerned about their interaction, fearing that there might be something between them, but it turned out Shao Wei was already married. That was a relief and posed no threat to Gu Xiaoman.

“Yeah, only your dear Yang Fan has poor eyesight. You’d better hold on to him or you’ll end up alone.”

Shen Zichu just had to say that, prompting Shao Wei to kick him in the shin.

“You can’t expect anything nice from a dog’s mouth. I’m now a high-paid gynecologist and the main attraction of your hospital. Where’s the respect that your star should be getting, huh?”

Shen Zichu scrunched up his face and rubbed his shin.

“You, oh you, it’s only Yang Fan who wants you. You went abroad and came back even more savage.”

Mu Lan watched the two awkwardly, wondering if she was overthinking. Although there was no overtly intimate talk or actions, there was an indescribable atmosphere between Shen Zichu and Shao Wei, a kind that felt exclusive to outsiders.

She suddenly decided that she needed to assert her rights on behalf of Gu Xiaoman.

“Shen Zichu, can you please be more mindful when you talk to girls? If you dare to talk like that with your Gu Xiaoman, I won’t let you off.

After all, I was there when you desperately proposed to her, right?”

Proposed? Shao Wei was taken aback.

“Damn, Shen Zichu, you proposed? To whom? You really know how to keep a secret!”

Mu Lan keenly observed Shao Wei’s reaction. There was not the slightest anomaly, and her happiness for Shen Zichu seemed genuinely sincere. Looking at Shen Zichu, he also appeared untroubled. Well, that seemed to clear any doubts for the moment.

“We just got our marriage certificate. I was thinking of inviting both our families to dinner when your dear Yang comes back from his business trip in Europe, so we could introduce you properly.”

“Really, got a partner and still didn’t introduce properly. I’m heading back to my department, and you guys keep talking. See you later.”

With that, Shao Wei put her hands in her pockets and walked away.

Mu Lan watched Shao Wei’s retreating figure, then spoke again.

“Does Gu Xiaoman know you have such a close female friend?”

Shen Zichu sighed.

“She, her husband, and I have been close since our college days.”

Mu Lan raised an eyebrow.

“Shen Zichu, I know I might be a bit annoying, but I still have to remind you that Gu Xiaoman can’t tolerate any sand in her eyes. Just handle it as you see fit.

I can’t go on, I need to rest my mind a bit, I won’t talk to you anymore.”

“You go back and get some good rest. If your headache becomes unbearable, take some ibuprofen.”

“Thanks, Director Shen.”

Mu Lan and Yun Xi left the hospital and on their way back to Maple Forest Garden, Mu Lan particularly instructed Yun Xi not to mention their visit to the hospital to Huo Tingxiao. Yun Xi felt somewhat conflicted, but eventually agreed.

As soon as she arrived home, Mu Lan went straight upstairs to lie down on the bed and closed her eyes for a nap. Soon, she fell into a deep sleep.

When Huo Tingxiao returned, he went upstairs after seeing no one in the living room.

He opened the bedroom door and saw Mu Lan quietly sleeping on the bed. A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.

Recalling how Mu Lan had reported her schedule to him over the phone earlier that day, Huo Tingxiao felt an indescribable warmth in his heart. His heart was full, reflecting on how he once desired nothing but now had someone to cherish. Loving someone was indeed a delightful feeling. Watching Mu Lan’s sweet sleeping face, Huo Tingxiao thought to himself how foolish he had been to waste seven years.

Fortunately, everything was still reversible.

Gently, he bent down and lightly kissed Mu Lan’s forehead.

Even though his movements were very gentle, they still woke Mu Lan from her sleep.

Sure enough, after a nap, her headache had alleviated significantly.

“When did you come back?”

“Just now. Wake up and come have dinner.”

Mu Lan let out a deep breath. Watching her stretch her hand to rub her temple, Huo Tingxiao couldn’t help but ask with concern:

“Are you feeling unwell?”

“No, I’m not feeling unwell, just a bit groggy from just waking up.”

Had this man recently installed radar? How could it be that he noticed every little move she made?

“Mrs. Li said she made your favorite shrimp and tomato soup.”

“Really? Then I want to eat two bowls of rice.”

“Don’t eat too much for dinner; it’s not good for your stomach.”

Mu Lan blinked and subconsciously touched Huo Tingxiao’s forehead.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m checking if you’re sick. You’re acting a bit strange. You sound just like my dad, always saying these things.”

Huo Tingxiao laughed because of her.

“Why don’t you call me dad to hear how it sounds?”

Mu Lan looked deep into Huo Tingxiao’s profound eyes, and a certain suggestive message flashed through her mind — call daddy!

Was this man making a dirty joke with her?

“Get lost, trying to take advantage of me.”

Her ears instantly flushed red, resembling freshly ripened cherries. Huo Tingxiao couldn’t resist bending down to gently bite one, his warm breath tickling her ear, causing Mu Lan to want to pull away.

“Huo Tingxiao, stop, it tickles.”

The more she dodged, the less Huo Tingxiao wanted to let her go. He insisted on teasing her further.

“Alright, alright, stop it. Isn’t it enough that I’m getting up?”

The area around Mu Lan’s ears was somewhat sensitive, unable to withstand Huo Tingxiao’s teasing, she quickly pleaded for mercy.

Huo Tingxiao’s strong arms were propped on either side of Mu Lan’s body, and he slightly pulled away, watching her shy yet playful demeanor.

“Suddenly, I don’t feel like going downstairs for dinner anymore.”

Mu Lan’s heartbeat suddenly quickened a lot.

He couldn’t possibly be thinking…
