Chapter 0289: Crocodile Tears

Huo Tingxiao looked at Mu Lan with gratitude. Although they hadn't officially reconciled and returned to their previous relationship, Mu Lan had continued to give generously.

She had cared for him when he needed it most, every single time.

What had he done to deserve such a woman?

Huo Tingxiao thought he would spend his life treating her well, holding her in the palm of his hand and protecting her from the slightest harm.

Two groups of people sat on either side, neither speaking.

Soon, Xian Yaping became restless.

Meanwhile, Huo Tingyang kept stealing glances at Mu Lan, seeing only Huo Tingxiao in her eyes, always worried about him, caring for him, taking care of him.

He thought that if he could inherit the Huo Corporation, all this could have been his; he wouldn't have to live like trash in a dark corner, no longer needing to be hunted down or bear the disgrace of being an illegitimate child.
