After stopping being a simp, the school heartthrob cried and begged to get back together.

Chapter 55 She can't see your miserable state.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to hate me so much." Huo Yubai's handsome face was full of desolation.

I said bitterly, "I don't hate you, I hate the person who looks exactly like you."

Huo Yubai remained silent.

"Don't let me see you again." I walked past him. "Don't ever appear in front of me again."

Huo Yubai stood there, watching my back, his eyes red-rimmed.

That night, I developed a high fever.

In my dream, I returned to that little park.

I waited and waited.

The person I wanted to see never came.

-

Huo Yubai Apartment.

He's been sitting on the sofa ever since he got back.

I hadn't changed my clothes or taken a shower; I was soaking wet.

The aunt glanced at him and walked over: "Sir, you'll get sick doing this?"

Huo Yubai's voice was low and hoarse: "I'm fine, you should go and rest."

"Sir, please listen to my advice and change out of the clothes you're trying on. It would be troublesome if you got sick," the aunt said anxiously.

Huo Yubai remained silent.

The aunt sighed.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

The aunt went to open the door.

Huo Yi stood outside the door.

"Mr. Huo, you've finally arrived. Look at my husband, I don't know what's wrong with him," the aunt said worriedly.

Huo Yi glanced at it and said, "It's nothing. You go and rest. I'll handle it."

The aunt nodded.

Huo Yi approached Huo Yubai and said, "She can't see you looking so miserable."

Huo Yubai looked at him coldly: "What are you doing here?"

“Shen Yan has some tricks up her sleeve. My dad has already agreed to Huo Xiao and Mu Xi’s divorce.” Huo Yi sat opposite Huo Yubai. “Without the Mu family, Huo Xiao is no longer a competitor in my dad’s eyes.”

“Your father is still young,” Huo Yubai said coldly. “Twenty years from now, when the next illegitimate child grows up, you won’t have it so easy.”

"Twenty years?" Huo Yi sneered. "Who do you think you are? I can take over the entire Huo Ao Group within three years."

"Three years, that's a long time, and this is all you've got?" Huo Yubai mocked.

"You're still laughing at me? Five years have passed and you still haven't completely taken over the Huo family," Huo Yi retorted sarcastically.

Huo Yubai ignored him.

“I know your family situation is more complicated, with illegitimate children fighting to the death.” Huo Yi frowned. “But fortunately, it’s just you and him left.”

"What exactly do you want to say today?" Huo Yubai questioned.

"I just want you to ask Shen Yan for me where that old woman is hiding that illegitimate child." Huo Yi narrowed his eyes.

Huo Yubai said indifferently, "She won't tell me, and she doesn't even want to see me."

"If she doesn't want to see you, then go see her." Huo Yi frowned. "I've noticed why you're being so cautious around her."

Huo Yubai said unhappily, "Didn't you do the same to Mu Xi?"

"Stop dragging me into this," Huo Yi snapped angrily.

"In short, I can't help you." Huo Yubai leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.

"I have an idea for you." Huo Yi sat down next to her: "Shen Yan has inherited Professor Ming's mantle. She will be seeing patients at the hospital next week. Since you're not feeling well, go and make an appointment. She will become your attending physician, and that way you two can have a relationship."

"What a terrible idea," Huo Yubai said with disdain.

Huo Yi was speechless.

Huo Yubai stood up: "You should leave quickly, I need to rest."

Huo Yi: "..."

Huo Yubai really did go to take a shower.

Huo Yi found it boring to stay here, so he had no choice but to leave.

He drove and arrived at the hospital without even realizing it.

Actually, he came several times today.

But none of them got off the bus.

He didn't know whether he should go in and check on her.

But in the end, he couldn't resist and pushed open the car door.

Mu Xi couldn't sleep, wondering if it was because she had slept too much during the day.

Or perhaps the insomnia was caused by the excitement of hearing about the impending divorce.

She saw a figure moving at the door of the ward.

"Big brother, is that you?" Mu Xi asked.

She was just about to get out of bed.

Huo Yi then pushed the door open and came in.

"How did you know it was me?" Huo Yi asked in surprise.

"I guessed." Mu Xi sat on the edge of the bed with her legs dangling in the air. Her feet were fair and clean, and very cute.

"I was just passing by and thought I'd drop by. I've been busy these past few days," Huo Yi explained.

“Actually, you didn’t need to come to see me. You just go about your business,” Mu Xi said.

Huo Yi sat down: "How is your injury?"

"It's much better." Mu Xi looked up. "The bruises have all gone down. Yan Yan applied the medicine for me, and it's very effective."

Huo Yi looked her over; her skin was very white and translucent.

"It's alright now." Huo Yi looked away.

Mu Xi paused for a moment: "Big brother, I haven't congratulated you yet. I heard Dad say last time that you were getting engaged to the Lu family's daughter, right?"

“…Hmm.” Huo Yi nodded.

"I've met her. She's beautiful and gentle. You're so lucky, brother," Mu Xi said with a smile.

Seeing that she was talking about his marriage with no distraction, Huo Yi felt a self-deprecating smile.

It's he who thinks too much.

"Yes, thank you for your blessing." Huo Yi said, "I know you and Huo Xiao are getting a divorce. Even if you are no longer a member of the Huo family, you can still come to me if you need anything in the future."

"Big brother, you're getting married soon. It's not easy for me, your former sister-in-law, to come looking for you. Besides, I have Yan Yan now, so you don't need to worry about me." Mu Xi smiled faintly.

Huo Yi's dark eyes narrowed: "Okay."

“Big brother, I know you’re a good person. When I married Huo Xiao, you felt indebted to me, so you’ve been making it up to me all these years. Now that I’m divorcing him, the Huo family doesn’t owe me anything anymore, and you owe me even less.” Mu Xi smiled and said, “Don’t worry about me anymore.”

Huo Yi realized that Mu Xi was keeping her distance from him.

Perhaps his close proximity was indeed a nuisance to her?

"Okay." Huo Yi nodded. "I'm leaving now. You should get some rest."

"I understand." Mu Xi looked at him intently, her clear, sparkling eyes filled with his image.

Huo Yi didn't even glance at her: "I'm leaving."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Mu Xi kept watching him until he disappeared through the doorway.

She lowered her head and gave a self-deprecating smile.

It turns out I was just being delusional.

-

The next day.

I brought breakfast to the ward to find Mu Xi.

"Did you make this?" Mu Xi was amazed after eating the meal I made.

"Is it delicious?" I asked with a smile.

"Delicious!" Mu Xi said with a satisfied look. "It tastes just as good as my mom's."

"Eat your fill, then change your clothes, and I'll take you to get a divorce," I said with a smile.

"Okay!" Mu Xi said happily.

"Xixi, have you told your parents?" I asked.

"Not yet." Mu Xi explained, "My parents went abroad with my maternal grandparents to visit my aunt these past two days. I don't want them to worry, so let's talk about it after the New Year when they come back."

"Did you give instructions to the Huo family?" I asked worriedly.

"They wouldn't dare tell my parents," Mu Xi said with certainty.
