Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

Hospital lobby.

Fu Hanji put one hand in his pocket and looked at Lan Ze expressionlessly:

"It's quite a surprise to see you here."

After all, he hadn't accompanied Mu Zhou here many times.

Lan Ze understood his sarcasm, his face turned pale, and he subconsciously looked at Mu Zhou.

Mu Zhou instantly recalled the kind of life he used to lead.

Her face turned cold, and her earlier guilty conscience vanished.

"What are you doing here?"

Mu Zhou didn't believe he was there to accompany him for his follow-up examination.

First, he simply can't remember when he's scheduled for a follow-up appointment, and second, he won't specifically ask for leave for it.

In his view, whether he came or not would not affect Mu Zhou's re-examination results; he only needed to know the final result.

Fu Hanji, on the other hand, immediately remembered the date of Mu Zhou's follow-up examination after Mu Zhou casually mentioned it, and arranged for a specialist to be there.

In contrast, Mu Zhou was even less likely to give Lan Ze a friendly look.

And Lanze certainly lived up to expectations.

Indeed, he was unaware that Mu Zhou was having a follow-up examination today.

He only remembered this after seeing Mu Zhou.

He came to the hospital because there was a minor accident in the lab and a colleague was injured.

After learning the whole story, Mu Zhou smiled slightly.

"really."

Lan Ze's face paled, and he wanted to explain, but then he saw Mu Zhou turn to Fu Hanji and say:

"let's go."

"Mu Zhou..."

Just as Lan Ze was about to stop her, he heard Qin Mo'er call out to him:

"Senior, Director Lin has finished filming. What's next?"

Mu Zhou quickened his pace as he left.

Upon arriving outside the hospital, Mu Zhou stopped in his tracks:

"There's been an accident in your lab, you should go check it out. Don't worry about me, I can go back by myself."

Unexpectedly, Fu Hanji refused:

"There's a designated person in charge of handling this; I don't need to go personally. Actually..."

He glanced at Mu Zhou, his expression shifting.

"I knew about the accident half an hour ago. The people in charge were already on site, and everything was proceeding smoothly. Director Lan shouldn't have been involved in this, but he was very helpful."

Fu Hanji spared no effort in applying eye drops to Lan Ze.

Mu Zhou's expression wasn't good either.

It's not easy to admit that you're not as important to your husband as his colleagues.

In the end, it was Fu Hanji who took Mu Zhou home.

*

The end of the month is Mu Zhou's mother's birthday.

Just before her birthday, she had an unexpected health problem and needed to undergo minor surgery.

Mu Zhou originally wanted to tell her about the divorce, but he put it off because he was afraid that she would be in a bad mood while recovering from her injuries.

At the hospital, Mu Zhou and Lan Ze appeared together.

Lan Ze learned from his parents that Mu Zhou's mother was hospitalized, so he rushed to Mu Zhou's house.

Mu Zhou originally did not want him to appear.

But he insisted:

“My parents don’t know about our divorce yet. If I don’t show up, she’ll definitely feel bad.”

Remembering his mother's nagging, Mu Zhou didn't refuse.

She didn't expect that there was another person in the ward besides her mother.

As soon as Mu Zhou pushed open the door to the ward, he heard cheerful laughter inside.

As she was wondering, she heard Lan Ze exclaim in shock:

"Fu Hanji, what are you doing here?!"

Fu Hanji is here?

Immediately afterwards, Mu Zhou heard footsteps stop in front of him, and the food box he was carrying was taken away.

"You came."

Fu Hanji's deep, magnetic voice rang out above Mu Zhou's head.

She nodded blankly, then realized that someone was holding her wrist and leading her to the hospital bed.

Lanze was left standing at the door of the ward.

Mu Zhou's mother felt something was strange when she saw this scene.

However, upon smelling the bone broth, he didn't think much of it, took the soup from Fu Hanji, and said to Mu Zhou:

“Zhouzhou, your friend is a very nice person. When your dad went home to get something, he kept me company and chatted with me the whole time.”

Before Mu Zhou could speak, Lan Ze spoke first:

"Mom, this is Fu Hanji, the founder of our research institute."

Mu Zhou's mother was stunned, her gaze shifting between the group of people, somewhat bewildered.

Isn't this young man supposed to be Mu Zhou's friend?

How did he end up being his son-in-law's boss?

Lan Ze's expression was somewhat unpleasant, which is why he couldn't help but blurt out the correction.

He didn't want Mu Zhou to get involved with Fu Hanji.

The last time the two hugged in the hospital, he went to Mu Zhou again to ask her about it, but was turned away.

This was the first time the two had met since that incident.

She had hoped to take advantage of her parents' presence to ease the tension between them, but unexpectedly, Fu Hanji showed up again to sabotage things.

The situation reached a stalemate for a moment.

Fu Hanji glanced at Mu Zhou.

She lowered her eyes in silence, seemingly at a loss.

Fu Hanji's eyes darkened, and he felt a tightness in his chest.

He is not afraid of any embarrassment, nor is he afraid of accusations or so-called rumors.

But he was afraid that Mu Zhou would be embarrassed in front of his parents.

Since she didn't want to reveal the divorce to her mother, he was willing to cooperate.

He suppressed the tearing pain in his heart, clenching his fists repeatedly before finally whispering to Mu Zhou's mother:

"Mu Zhou and Lan Ze are good friends. You guys chat first. I have to go back to the company."

Mu Zhou couldn't see the loneliness in his eyes, but he could sense it from his voice and the aura he exuded.

She had only casually mentioned her mother's surgery on the phone yesterday, but she never expected that he would actually come.

It seemed that Fu Hanji took every word she said to heart.

She took a deep breath and reached out to grab the arm that was passing by.

Fu Hanji's steps to leave were immediately stopped.

Mu Zhou looked in his mother's direction, his voice calm:

"Mom, actually Lanze and I are divorced. I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would worry."

Upon hearing this, the rest of the people were so shocked that they were speechless.

Including Mu Zhou's father, who had just arrived at the ward door.

Half an hour later, the whole family sat down together.

Mu Zhou has already explained everything clearly.

She tried to speak in a light tone:

"Mom, Dad, don't worry. Lanze and I parted amicably. The past year or so has made us realize that we are better off as friends."

"Then, then you and Xiao Fu..."

The mother looked at Mu Zhou and Fu Hanji's clasped hands, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

Mu Zhou was stunned for a moment before realizing that her hand was still being held by Fu Hanji.

Her ears burned, and she instinctively tried to shake him off, but Fu Hanji held on tightly and refused to let go.

Mu Zhou's action of stopping him from leaving was seen by him as a form of acknowledgment.

He was always competitive and eager to win over Mu Zhou, and now that Mu Zhou had taken a small step forward, how could he let go?

So he took the initiative to say:

"Auntie, I'm pursuing Mu Zhou."

As they spoke, he slipped his fingers between Mu Zhou's fingers and clasped hers tightly.

This made Mu Zhou so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do with her hands.

But she didn't struggle anymore.

Lan Ze witnessed all of this, and his heart felt like it was being squeezed, making it hard to breathe.

Panic gripped him.

Lan Ze suddenly realized that he had been thinking too simply about the divorce, the remarriage, and even Mu Zhou.

All of this was beyond his control.

Especially for Mu Zhou, her feelings are not an experimental procedure; there are no set rules, and no guaranteed outcome.

Relationships require effort and reciprocation.

But he never gave them any of these.
