Chapter 209: Chapter 0209: Mu Lan, are you worried about me?

Mu Lan suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Is it about the competition?”

Huo Tingxiao nodded.

“Vincent said you won the Silver Award, but in his heart, you are the one who truly deserves the Gold Award.”

Mu Lan was stunned for a moment, then let out a deep sigh of relief.

“Silver Award… it’s a bit disappointing, but it’s not bad.”

Huo Tingxiao actually had something else he hadn’t dared to tell Mu Lan, that Katrina was the winner of the Gold Award.

“Are you okay?”

Mu Lan paused for a while before asking.

“Who won the Gold Award? Katrina?”

Without Huo Tingxiao’s response, his expression said it all.

Well, that’s so melodramatic.

No wonder she saw me as a thorn in her side; now I understand.

“I think there’s something wrong with this result; we can appeal to the organizing committee.”

Huo Tingxiao’s tone was very serious, clearly intending to do just that, whereas Mu Lan didn’t think much of it.

“Design is a very subjective thing, even if I lost to the person I didn’t want to lose to… it doesn’t matter that much.”

Even though she tried to sound very indifferent, the disappointment in her eyes completely betrayed her.

Huo Tingxiao couldn’t help but walk over to her and hugged her tightly.

Mu Lan froze, her gaze fixating on a point in front of her.

“Huo Tingxiao…”

“In my heart, you’re the best, Mu Lan, and you must never doubt yourself; you truly are amazing.”

Huo Tingxiao’s deep voice gradually spread into Mu Lan’s ear, tapping her eardrum and following the nerves straight to her heart, then in an instant, spreading to her limbs, making her pale fingertips tingle.

She had never been affirmed by him before; he actually said, she was the best, the most outstanding…

But if that was true, then why was it so hard for him to even give her a glance in the past?

Mu Lan’s usually calm heart felt a sudden, dull pain.

She thought she had forgotten long ago, but it turned out she hadn’t; she was just pretending not to care, pretending to let go, pretending she was fine.

All of it, just pretense.

Mu Lan let Huo Tingxiao hold her, unresponsive.

And such lack of response made Huo Tingxiao’s heart gradually panic; he held her even tighter as if desperately trying to prove something.

“Thank you for comforting me, but… could you let go of me first?”

Mu Lan was straightforward, not hiding her feelings or compromising her own emotions.

Huo Tingxiao was slightly stunned but still let go.

“Do you dislike it when I touch you?”

“I’m not in the mood to think about these things right now, Huo Tingxiao, can you let me be alone for a while?”

Mu Lan’s tone was sincere, and Huo Tingxiao didn’t want to push her too hard; after all, some things couldn’t be rushed.

“Let me know if you need anything; I’ll be sleeping in the living room tonight.”

“The living room?”

Mu Lan was taken aback, clearly, her wanting to be alone meant not sharing a room with him.

“Katrina has a lot of influence and a strong sense of revenge; I’m afraid she might harm you. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything you dislike.”

Huo Tingxiao’s words made Mu Lan purse her lips, the softest part of her heart touched by his words and actions.

He seems… really different now.

“You have an injury on your foot; taking a bath might be inconvenient. I’ve arranged for the hotel’s spa therapist to come and assist you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang. Huo Tingxiao opened the door, and a female therapist in work attire entered.

“Hello, sir, do you need spa services?”

“It’s for my wife; she’s injured her foot. Could you please help her while she bathes? I will give you an extra tip.”

“Oh, okay, okay.”

Huo Tingxiao stayed in the living room. Not long after, the female technician finished bathing Mu Lan and left.

Lying on the large hotel bed, Mu Lan prepared to go to the living room to get a charging cable. Wearing a bathrobe and hobbling on one foot, she came out of the bedroom. Huo Tingxiao was dozing off on his side and quickly opened his eyes when he heard the noise.

Seeing Mu Lan come out, he slightly frowned.

“What’s wrong?”

“My phone’s turned off. I’m looking for a charging cable.”

“I’ll find it for you.”

Huo Tingxiao wanted to reach out to help Mu Lan but feared she might overthink it, so he withdrew his hand.

After finding the charging cable, he handed it to Mu Lan, watching her limp back to the bedroom.

Her phone was broken and wouldn’t turn on. Mu Lan felt helpless. It didn’t matter, even if she received a call from the organizers, in her current state, she couldn’t attend the celebration party.

Ah, the only chance to have close contact with her idol, and she missed it just like that.

Mu Lan couldn’t describe her feelings—disappointment, anger, and more than anything, regret.

After a while, the doorbell rang, and Mu Lan heard some noises outside.

“Mr. Huo, I’ve taken care of the matter you ordered. The surveillance provided by the organizers showed Katrina and two other girls following Madam to the restroom, and after they left, Madam never came out again.”

Hearing this, Huo Tingxiao’s eyes flared with fire.

So, it wasn’t just one person.

“Bring out the other two.”

“No matter their background, tell Long Xiao, I will not let them go.”

“I understand, Mr. Huo.”

He Yan silently mourned for the three foolish girls. Sigh, they could have provoked anyone but they chose to provoke their boss’s wife.

Although Mu Lan couldn’t hear it very clearly, she caught a few keywords and was startled. This was Paris, someone else’s territory. If Huo Tingxiao really did something for her sake, how could she bear it?

“Huo Tingxiao, what are you doing?”

Seeing her hobble out again, Huo Tingxiao looked unperturbed.

“Nothing, it’s just some business matters.”

Mu Lan stared at him unblinkingly.

“Do you think I’m a child? I heard everything. You want to go against Katrina?”

Huo Tingxiao didn’t speak, which was as good as an admission.

“No, get He Yan back here. You can’t touch her.”

Mu Lan’s tone became urgent, finally losing her usual calmness and indifference.

Huo Tingxiao looked up at her, his voice growing stern.

“She hurt you, and an eye for an eye is fair.”

Mu Lan looked at Huo Tingxiao, terrified that he would do something irrational.

“Is there so much fairness in the world? If a dog bites you, would you bite it back?”

Huo Tingxiao gave a cold laugh.

“Even if I don’t bite back, I have to teach this dog a lesson! Smash its teeth, break its claws, let it know it shouldn’t choose to be a beast when it can be a good person.”

Mu Lan was stunned. She had never known Huo Tingxiao to have such a violent side.

“Violence doesn’t solve problems. Can’t you calm down?”

Huo Tingxiao replied righteously:

“I am not trying to solve the problem, but to make her pay the price.”

This man… Why is he so stubborn and intransigent?

“This is not your turf, and that Katrina obviously has a background that emboldens her to be so reckless and arrogant.

Huo Tingxiao, I’m not trying to play the saint, I am…”

Mu Lan suddenly realized what she was about to blurt out and froze.

It was then that Huo Tingxiao noticed Mu Lan’s concern, his eyes gleaming with dazzling light.

“Mu Lan, are you worried about me?”
