"Who said she is my ex-girlfriend?"
Huo Tingxiao spoke calmly and slowly, stunning Mu Lan.
"But everyone says..."
"You believe what they say, but you don't believe me?"
These words really put Mu Lan in a difficult position because she didn't know whether she should believe them or not; she was conflicted.
"Indeed, both families had the intention of matching us before, but after she went abroad to study, the matter was dropped, and I married you."
So what he meant was, if she hadn't come into the picture, he would have married Sheng Xueqin.
Logically, there was nothing wrong with that, but Mu Lan still felt uncomfortable.
"Now that she's back, and our marriage is not... is not what the Huo Family was hoping for, why not just go with the flow?"
When she said this, she really wished the room could be filled with the sour stench of her words. Huo Tingxiao found it both annoying and amusing that she cared so much yet insisted on saying these things.
