Chapter 178: Chapter 178: There’s a Big Surprise Waiting for You

Han Yongmei looked at Huo Tingxiao, her eyes filled with hope.

“But what?”

Huo Tingxiao’s tone was indifferent, as though he was discussing business.

“I can purchase the relevant shares of the Huo Family at market price.”

Han Yongmei felt a wave of heartache. Her own son was talking about paying to buy her shares. How ironic.

“Tingxiao, regarding the transfer of shares, I’ll immediately find a lawyer to draft the contract. You don’t need to buy them.”

Huo Tingxiao paused for a moment.

“Then I’ll use the shares of TX to do an exchange with you.”

“You…”

Han Yongmei became somewhat anxious. Were they going to make things between mother and son this clear and distinct?

“I have other matters to attend to in my company. Just let me know when your lawyer is available.”

Having said that, Huo Tingxiao stood up and left without giving Han Yongmei a chance to refuse.

Huo Tingxiao was decisive in his actions, on one hand wary of Pei Zhao, and on the other, he had an understanding of Sheng Family’s movements.

“President Huo, Mr. Feng suddenly sent an email.”

As he said it, He Yan placed the tablet in front of Huo Tingxiao. After briefly reviewing the content, Huo Tingxiao couldn’t help but laugh.

Now he indeed faced troubles from within and without, besieged on all sides; he had to take this opportunity to eliminate all the problems at once.

“Tell Feng Lin to be careful. Those people in the Huo Corporation are not easy to deal with.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll advise Mr. Feng.”

Busy all day, Huo Tingxiao hadn’t even had time for a meal. His mind was filled with thoughts of Mu Lan, and although the saying goes ‘a single day apart feels like three autumns,’ they had been separated for only half a day, yet he missed her terribly.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he dialed Mu Lan’s number directly.

Mu Lan had just poured a cup of water for Shen Ying.

“Hello?”

“I miss you.”

Those four words came out as soon as she picked up the call, and Mu Lan couldn’t help but blush.

Seeing her daughter like this, Shen Ying didn’t need to guess who was on the phone. However, she pretended not to know. With a physical checkup the next day, she was to fast for the evening, allowed only to drink a little water.

“Can you talk about something else?”

Hearing the somewhat annoyed voice on the other end, Huo Tingxiao leaned back in his chair with a smile on his face.

He could even imagine how Mu Lan would look at this moment—her face flushed, somewhat embarrassed and unsure.

Yeah, a very cute look.

“Is it not allowed to speak the truth?”

“I’m going to hang up if you keep this up.”

Mu Lan truly couldn’t withstand him being so direct. No wonder the old saying goes, ‘A virtuous woman fears a persisting man.’ Especially one of his caliber. If she wasn’t careful, she would be completely defeated.

“What would you like to eat tonight? I can bring something over, and we can eat together?”

Huo Tingxiao’s voice was gentle, making it difficult for Mu Lan to keep looking annoyed.

“No need, the hospital has food.”

Upon hearing that, Huo Tingxiao couldn’t help but frown.

“Hospital food is just making do. Mom is fasting tonight for her checkup, but you need to eat well.”

His deep voice gradually spread in her ear, passing through her eardrum and reaching the tip of her heart, unexpectedly soothing.

So this was how he cared for someone he cared about, with such attention to detail.

Mu Lan secretly chastised herself for her lack of resolve. Just because he reminded her to eat dinner, she was close to forgetting all his faults.

“It’s okay, I’m not that delicate. I can just have something casual. There’s also convenient takeout here, you don’t need to—”

“I’ve asked He Yan to order from Haiyuefeng. I’ll see you in an hour.”

“Hey, you…”

The call had already ended, and Mu Lan sighed. Just when she thought he had become gentler, he was still as domineering as ever.

“Lanlan, tell Mom the truth, can you really not forgive Huo Tingxiao in your heart?”

Shen Ying asked, looking at Mu Lan.

After a pause, Mu Lan confessed honestly:

“I don’t even know what I think. When I’m angry, I hate him so much that I never want to see him again, but… when I’m not that mad anymore, and he comes back to apologize, I just…

Mom, why is it that you and Dad never fight and are always so loving towards each other?”

Shen Ying laughed after hearing what Mu Lan had said.

“Who told you we never fight? Your father and I simply don’t argue in front of you and your brother. When we are mad, we wonder why we chose to be with each other.”

Mu Lan was stunned. She had never known that her parents also argued.

“You and Dad argue? Are you sure you’re not just pretending to fight as a way of showing affection?”

Shen Ying smiled, knowing that to call it arguing might have been a bit severe.

“Your dad and I have been so mad we thought about divorce. I was much more hot-tempered when I was young, quick to ignite, and your father is stubborn. The early days of our marriage were full of stumbling blocks, but people from our generation were traditional, and many wouldn’t choose divorce even if there were fundamental mistakes—not to mention in a situation like ours.”

This was the first time Mu Lan had ever heard Shen Ying reminisce about these things.

“Mom, are you trying to persuade me to forgive Huo Tingxiao?”

Shen Ying shook her head.

“I’m not persuading you, I’m just reminding you that nothing is perfect.

You need to be sure about what you want and what you hope to receive.

Sometimes relationships are like that. You want fairness, but where is there so much fairness? It’s not a competition.”

Mu Lan nodded.

“I will handle it well, don’t worry.”

“As one drinks water, one knows oneself whether it is cold or warm. All the decisions have to be made by you, don’t force yourself for others, and don’t lie to yourself in order to make things seem okay, you know?”

Mu Lan nodded.

When Huo Tingxiao appeared in the hospital room, he brought a lot of dishes that Mu Lan loved. Not wanting to watch the two of them eat, Shen Ying pretended to close her eyes and rest.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Mu Lan thought they couldn’t finish it and felt it was a bit awkward, so she invited Yun Xi to join them.

Yun Xi ate so quickly that by the time Mu Lan had only taken a couple of bites, she had already finished a bowl of white rice and then automatically excused herself to stand guard outside the door.

Shen Ying discreetly peeked through her lashes, watching Huo Tingxiao attentively peeling shrimp for Mu Lan.

Seeing her bowl almost filling up, Mu Lan whispered:

“Are you raising a pig here?”

Huo Tingxiao took out two tissues to wipe his hands and replied softly:

“You’re much cuter than a pig.”

Just as Mu Lan was about to explode, Huo Tingxiao gestured towards the direction of the bed with his eyes.

Seeing her puff up with anger but having to hold it back, Huo Tingxiao chuckled softly and said:

“Huo Tingyang and Sheng Xueqin’s engagement party… Do you want to join me? It will be held on a cruise ship, two days and one night.”

Mu Lan shook her head.

“No, I won’t go.”

Huo Tingxiao paused, not eager to persuade her. He simply said in a calm tone:

“The Mu Family will also receive an invitation. Are you sure you don’t want to go?”

Mu Lan curled her lips.

“My brother suddenly went on a business trip; we don’t know when he will be back. As for my mom and me…”

Huo Tingxiao watched Mu Lan unwaveringly; if she didn’t go, then all the plans he had made would have no one to appreciate them.

“If you go, I guarantee there will be a big surprise waiting for you.”

A big surprise? Mu Lan looked at Huo Tingxiao suspiciously, wondering what this so-called big surprise could be.
