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

Chapter 56 Cleaner Than You

I brought Muxi a newly released Chanel suit.

She exclaimed excitedly, "I just saw this set online a few days ago. I heard it's not even in mass production yet. How did you get it?"

"If you have the money, you can get it." I smiled and said, "Give it a try."

"Mmm!" Mu Xi immediately changed into it.

Mu Xi is petite and delicate, so this outfit looks even more elegant on her and complements her baby face.

everything's ready.

We set off for the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Huo Kangnian and Huo Xiao arrived early.

When Huo Xiao saw Mu Xi, his face was cold: "Mu Xi, what tricks are you playing? Do you really want a divorce?"

Mu Xi coldly replied, "I'd rather you were dead."

Huo Xiao: "..."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go in to complete the formalities," Huo Kangnian urged.

"Dad said that once the divorce certificate is issued, you will release Su Ran," Huo Xiao said in a deep voice.

Huo Kangnian snorted coldly: "Don't worry, after the divorce, no one will stop you from being with whomever you want."

"That's great!" Huo Xiao was the first to walk into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Mu Xi was speechless: "What's with the arrogance?"

We then went inside.

Huo Kangnian gave them a heads-up in advance.

So the procedures were completed very quickly.

There is no such thing as a "cooling-off period" for divorce.

Mu Xi is about to sign.

Huo Xiao cleared his throat: "Mu Xi, you should think this through. After you sign, we'll have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"Isn't that even better?" Mu Xi wrote her name carefully. For her, it was a rebirth.

After signing.

Mu Xi showed a relieved expression.

Huo Xiao was surprised that Mu Xi actually signed the papers. He gave a lukewarm snort: "Great, I'm finally free. I don't have to be controlled by you anymore. What kind of wife is you, always trying to control her husband!"

"You are no longer." Mu Xi said calmly.

After the divorce, she became calm and peaceful.

Huo Xiao gritted his teeth: "Mu Xi, do you know how annoying it is to see you like this?"

Mu Xi sneered: "What about me?"

"You..." Huo Xiao was speechless for a long time.

I said sarcastically, "Huo Xiao, could it be that you're reluctant to divorce Mu Xi?"

"How could that be!" Huo Xiao retorted.

"Then why are you talking so much nonsense?" I rolled my eyes at him.

He seemed reluctant but was still being stubborn.

I feel like I've seen this somewhere before.

Huo Xiao was furious. He sneered, "With a friend like you, Mu Xi can forget about getting married for the rest of her life."

“If she leaves you, I can introduce her to someone better—more handsome, richer, younger, and better than you in every way.” I said sarcastically, “And they’re all cleaner than you.”

"You!" Huo Xiao gritted his teeth.

"Huo Xiao, is that enough? I won't allow you to talk about Yan Yan like that!" Mu Xi was also very angry: "Whether I divorce you and end up single or remarry is my own choice and has nothing to do with my friend. We are no longer husband and wife. You'd better shut your mouth, or I won't be polite anymore."

Huo Xiao: "..."

"Gentlemen, your divorce certificates are ready." The staff member worked quickly, as if to get them out of there as soon as possible.

"Thank you." Mu Xi took her book, put it in her bag, and stood up.

She didn't look at Huo Xiao, who was gritting his teeth, but instead looked at Huo Kangnian.

"Uncle Huo, no matter what, I am very grateful for your care over the past year." Mu Xi said calmly, "From now on, Huo Xiao and I have no relationship, but this will not affect your relationship with my father. You can continue to cooperate as you see fit, without worrying about me."

"I'm so glad you're so sensible. Mu Xi, it's Huo Xiao who wronged you." Huo Kangnian sighed.

"Goodbye, Uncle." Mu Xi pulled me away.

Huo Xiao frowned: "Mu Xi, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Mu Xi didn't even turn her head: "I have nothing to say to dogs."

"Mu Xi!" Huo Xiao was furious.

But it's no use.

Mu Xi didn't care.

Huo Kangnian stood up and looked at the furious Huo Xiao. "Huo Xiao, I hope you won't regret this."

"Dad, what do you mean by that? What do I regret?" Huo Xiao was still being stubborn.

Huo Kangnian sneered: "You'll understand how good Mu Xi is when you get older."

"Dad, I didn't want to divorce her, you forced me to." Huo Xiao frowned.

"You forced Mu Xi into this," Huo Kangnian said coldly. "If you can't bear to part with Mu Xi, you should break things off with Su Ran completely."

Huo Xiao said, "Su Ran and I are not what you think. I was just taking care of her. It's Mu Xi who is too immature and doesn't understand me."

"Huo Xiao, you are my son, and I must tell you this," Huo Kangnian said coldly, "If you want both, you must find a balance. You can't expect your partner to make sacrifices for you without expecting anything in return. Even with your mother, do you think there are no other interests between us besides feelings?"

Huo Xiao was stunned: "Dad, didn't you love Mom the most?"

"You'll understand love when you reach my age," Huo Kangnian said indifferently. "What does it feel like to not be able to keep the person you love by your side?"

Huo Xiao was even more puzzled.

Wasn't his mother Huo Kangnian's favorite?

Huo Kangnian didn't want to say anything more, so he turned and left.

Huo Xiao frowned.

He didn't believe Mu Xi was truly willing to leave him.

They've known each other for almost five years, from when they first met to when they got married.

Mu Xi is a case of playing hard to get.

This time, he's going to show Mu Xi what regret really means!

This will make her afraid to cause trouble with her friend again!

-

A few more days passed.

I went to the hospital to see patients.

This is my first time seeing patients at a major hospital.

When I was in Yuncheng, I always accompanied Professor Ming to the countryside for free medical consultations.

Perhaps my reputation isn't good enough, because not many patients come to me.

The first two were elderly people, and their problems were not serious.

I got some medicine prescribed.

However, when I got to the third one, I was speechless.

Huo Yubai walked in.

He asked in surprise, "It's you?"

I:"……"

"Mr. Huo, what's wrong?" His assistant poked his head out: "It's hard to get an appointment with the senior specialists, so I can only get you a regular one."

Huo Yubai's expression was cold: "You can leave now."

"Okay." The assistant left.

He explained, "I'm sorry, my assistant doesn't know about my relationship with you. I haven't told anyone. If you don't want to, I can book an appointment with another doctor."

"No need, please sit down." I looked at him and said, "You don't need to explain to anyone. We never had any relationship to begin with."

Huo Yubai nodded.

"Put your left hand here." I pointed to the armrest next to me.

Huo Yubai sat down, placing his left hand on his armrest.

He was very thin, with long and slender wrists, and the veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible.

In my memory, he has never been this thin.

But he seems to have grown taller.

I took his pulse.

My eyes widened in shock just seconds after I placed my fingers on his pulse.

"Huo Yubai, how... how could your heart be like this?" I was shocked.
