Chapter 230: Chapter 0230: Wife, You Look So Beautiful
Mu Lan suddenly snapped awake and looked at Huo Tingxiao as if he were a thief.
“You pretended to be drunk for so long, just for this?”
Huo Tingxiao looked innocent, his tone filled with disappointment.
“Can’t I?”
With his head hanging low, he almost pressed his face against her chest.
Mu Lan truly had an eye-opening experience tonight; this man actually had such a side to him.
Just when she thought he would take a hint after being rejected, who knew that in the next second, he would raise his head shamelessly and say:
“Then how about you kiss me?”
Looking at the simple, silly smile of the man in front of her, Mu Lan was completely at a loss. She was even angry with herself—how unworthy.
“…”
Taking a deep breath in, letting it out, Mu Lan didn’t realize one could be provoked to the point of revealing their worst temper.
“Huo Tingxiao, I’m counting to three, you’d better jump into bed.”
Huo Tingxiao immediately snapped to attention and saluted.
“Yes, ma’am!”
Then he staggered as if trying to march, startling Mu Lan into reaching out to steady him. But he was too heavy, and at both lost their balance.
With a “thump,” they both fell onto the master bedroom’s large bed.
Mu Lan tried to get up, but Huo Tingxiao kept her down with one hand.
Then, he propped himself up on both hands, trapping her between his arms, with no way forward and no way back.
As their eyes met, Huo Tingxiao’s dark pupils looked at her, seemingly shimmering, and Mu Lan could even see herself in his eyes.
“Wife, you are so beautiful.”
Mu Lan glared at him.
“Don’t call me wife!”
Huo Tingxiao pouted.
“But you are my wife, and I’m not wrong.”
Oh my, a thirty-year-old man acting coquettishly could really give someone goosebumps all over!
Mu Lan couldn’t take it anymore and pushed him.
“It’s too late, you should go to sleep, and I need to sleep too.”
Hearing this, Huo Tingxiao laughed and nodded vigorously.
“Sleep, sleep, let’s do it together.”
Mu Lan was shocked; he did have a good intention.
“Dream on, get to the other side now.”
Huo Tingxiao continued to laugh, looking utterly foolish.
“Even when wife is angry she is beautiful, hehe…”
Mu Lan’s face turned red, from where did this vexing creature come?! Despite her efforts, she couldn’t push him away nor drive him off, and she certainly couldn’t cause a ruckus in the middle of the night.
As the hard approach didn’t work, she could only try a gentler tactic, her tone softening as she coaxed:
“Didn’t you say you would listen to me? Then be good and go to sleep.”
Upon hearing Mu Lan’s tender words, Huo Tingxiao’s eyes seemed to bathe in honey.
“Wife is also beautiful when gentle, my wife is beautiful no matter what.”
Help, can he stop saying these embarrassing things?
“Fine, I’m beautiful, very beautiful. Now you, behave and lay down properly.”
Huo Tingxiao collapsed beside her, wrapped his long arm around her, and pulled Mu Lan into his embrace.
“Yes, you lay down too.”
Mu Lan’s face suddenly turned extremely red, whether from anger or bashfulness, she couldn’t tell.
“Huo Tingxiao, that’s enough, you…”
She heard Huo Tingxiao’s mumbling voice beside her ear.
“Wife, from now on, I will listen to you, don’t be mad at me, I know I was wrong…”
Mu Lan paused, turning her head to look at the man lying next to her. One moment he was bargaining with her, and the next he had suddenly fallen asleep.
Watching him, her gaze became somewhat complicated, and Mu Lan couldn’t quite describe the mix of feelings inside her.
She wanted to move his arm away, but every time she moved, Huo Tingxiao’s arm would tighten its grasp as if it had its own consciousness.
Eventually, Mu Lan simply decided not to waste her energy.
After a long hassle, she was also tired, her eyelids started to droop, and she fell asleep soon after.
——–
The next day, when Mu Lan woke up, her vision was initially blurry before she could clearly see Huo Tingxiao in front of her, instantly widening her eyes in shock.
The man beside her was still sleeping soundly, sunlight casting over his face like a layer of fine gold.
They were so close that she could even see the fuzz on his face and the stubble on his chin.
His hand rested on her waist, their intimate pose reminding Mu Lan that everything from yesterday was not her imagination.
The man who had turned into a pestering spirit after drinking was indeed Huo Tingxiao.
Mu Lan moved slightly, and Huo Tingxiao immediately frowned sensitively, then slowly opened his eyes, still groggy, and gave her a smile.
Then he mumbled a greeting:
“Morning…”
“…”
Mu Lan couldn’t utter a word, just staring at him, he even had the face to smile at her and say morning?
Feeling her intense gaze, Huo Tingxiao’s unfocused eyes gradually became more alert.
Wait a minute, how did he come here yesterday, and how did he end up in the same bed with Mu Lan…
Watching his somewhat bewildered look, Mu Lan’s face darkened.
“What, you want to tell me that you blacked out from drinking yesterday?”
Huo Tingxiao felt as if stung when he realized where his hand was, pulling it back instantly.
He couldn’t have done something unforgivable last night, could he?
But seeing that Mu Lan’s clothes were unchanged, he probably hadn’t…
“Sorry, I was a bit too drunk yesterday…”
Listen to this tone, compared to yesterday’s drunk clinginess, it’s like a completely different person.

Mu Lan wasn’t sure if it was because she hadn’t slept well or because her morning mood was too irritable, but she found the bewildered look on Huo Tingxiao’s face particularly displeasing.
“You were drunk yesterday.”
“And… then what?”
Huo Tingxiao looked at her with a composed exterior, but his heart was plummeting.
“You kept clinging to me, acting cute, and repeatedly calling me ‘wife’.”
Mu Lan was like an emotionless tape recorder, listing all of Huo Tingxiao’s antics from the previous night.
With each mention, his expression grew uglier, clearly loath to admit that he was the man Mu Lan was describing.
“I was acting cute, acting… cute?”
“What, you don’t believe it?”
Mu Lan got up and sat on the bed, her expression blank as she looked at Huo Tingxiao.
“Sorry, I had a bit too much to drink last night.”
“I know.”
“Did I do anything else… anything else?”
Mu Lan frowned.
“You wanted to do something else?”
Huo Tingxiao panicked more as he spoke.
“It’s not that I didn’t want to, it’s just that in that condition I probably couldn’t have done much.”
Mu Lan’s face turned instantly red, so he meant that if he could have done something, he definitely would have?
Quickly getting off the bed, Mu Lan looked at him defensively.
“You better drink less and control yourself, Huo Tingxiao. Last night was the first and the last time!”
Without another word, Mu Lan left the bedroom angrily.
Huo Tingxiao felt a splitting headache, unable to recall what had happened yesterday at all.
But just hearing what Mu Lan had said was enough to make his skin crawl.
A grown man acting cute and needy, she must have been disgusted to death.
Indeed, drinking was a mistake, Huo Tingxiao cursed silently:
“Damn it…”
Breakfast time was exceedingly strange.
Mu Lan was silent, Huo Tingxiao’s eyes were constantly on her, and after a lengthy hesitation, he finally spoke:
“Mu Lan, I…”
