    Chapter 170: The Wedding on the Agenda

    Before Yun Mu could ponder the meaning of his words, her phone rang again.

    "Yun Mu, you'd better come to the hospital quickly. Your grandfather's brain waves are abnormal!" Lu Nansen said anxiously.

    Huo Tingying, standing beside her, naturally heard this too. He gave Yun Mu a forced smile, "Go to the hospital first."

    Yun Mu felt a bit guilty and hugged him, then coaxed, "It's now half past eight. There's a fireworks display at Rainbow Plaza tonight. You go there and wait for me; I'll definitely be there on time, okay?"

    Huo Tingying gently stroked her hair, his voice low.

    "Okay, go quickly."

    When Yun Mu arrived at the hospital, she was surprised to see Si Nanjue there as well.

    "I'm sorry it's so late..."

    Yun Mu intended to make some polite remarks, but Si Nanjue began examining Old Master Yun seriously, "The patient's vital signs are weakening. We need to arrange surgery as soon as possible."

    Yun Mu immediately understood, nodding, "I agree, but we still need to perfect the surgical plan, and the medical equipment isn't ready yet. The earliest we can schedule the surgery is in three days."

    Given Old Master Yun's age, if the surgery is delayed further, even if it's successful, the chances of restoring his normal cognitive function will be slim.

    Si Nanjue, "In that case, I'll handle the medical equipment. Why don't we discuss and refine the surgical plan first?"

    Yun Mu thought for a moment and nodded.

    She didn't expect their discussion to last until eleven o'clock at night.

    When she rushed to Rainbow Plaza, the once bustling square was now empty.

    The fireworks display had long ended.

    Yun Mu scanned the area but couldn't find Huo Tingying.

    Just as she was about to call him, she realized she had left her phone in the hospital meeting room.

    Yun Mu scratched her head and kicked a pebble with her toe.

    This is bad, really bad.

    First, she missed the concert, and now she missed the fireworks display, which she had initiated!

    That petty man must be furious.

    How much effort will it take to make it up to him?

    Yun Mu sighed softly, noticing a claw machine nearby. Inside was a stuffed toy with big eyes and thick eyebrows that looked just like a frowning Huo Tingying.

    She suddenly became interested.

    She exchanged five yuan for game tokens but failed to catch any.

    This infuriating competitive spirit!

    She exchanged another fifty yuan but still failed to catch any after forty-nine attempts.

    Who would believe that?

    A sharpshooter who hits targets from a hundred paces away can't catch a single toy?

    Yun Mu looked at her last token, gritted her teeth, and inserted it into the machine.

    As she gripped the lever for one final attempt, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed hers.

    A familiar warm presence instantly enveloped her.

    She was slightly stunned.

    This familiar scent belonged to Huo Tingying.

    He hadn't left?

    Yun Mu tried to turn around but was stopped by the man's chin.

    "Focus," he said in a deep voice.

    With his hand guiding hers, they controlled the machine together, and a stuffed toy dropped down immediately.

    Yun Mu picked up the toy excitedly and turned around, "Wow, you got it on your first try!"

    "It's child's play; only you wouldn't know how to do it." Huo Tingying glanced at the toy in her hand, "Is there something special about this thing? Why do you like it so much?"

    He had been watching her struggle with frustration for a while.

    Her angry expression almost made her smash the machine.

    Yun Mu held up the toy, "It looks like you. When you get mad, you pout and scrunch up your nose and eyebrows."

    Huo Tingying, "..."

    Yun Mu looked at him, "You're still here? Have you been waiting for me?"

    "Yes, I waited for hours in this cold weather. Are you satisfied, Mrs. Huo?" Huo Tingying looked at her.

    Yun Mu pursed her lips, "I didn't mean to..."

    But she felt a bit guilty inside.

    "Where did you go just now? I thought you left because you were angry." Yun Mu asked again.

    Huo Tingying took out a phone from his pocket, and it was clearly Yun Mu's.

    "Because I went to get your phone for you."

    Yun Mu took the phone in surprise. "Did someone bring it to me? Lu Nansen?"

    Huo Tingying's expression wasn't good. "No."

    "It must have been Si Nanjue then. You've met him, right? He's the medical genius I told you about, already an authority in neurosurgery at such a young age. With him assisting me in Grandpa's surgery, I feel very confident."

    Talking about the surgery, Yun Mu's eyes lit up, and she started chattering nonstop.

    If Grandpa Yun's surgery was successful, Yun Xiaosha's injustice could be cleared, and her debt of gratitude to Yun Xiaosha would be considered settled.

    But in Huo Tingying's eyes, this meant something else.

    "Do you admire that pretty boy so much?"

    "How come you call everyone a pretty boy? I think you're just jealous that they're younger than you." Yun Mu rolled her eyes at him.

    Huo Tingying's face darkened. "Are you saying I'm old?"

    Yun Mu opened her mouth in surprise. "When did I ever say that?"

    "That's exactly what you mean!"

    "Unreasonable!"

    Huo Tingying, "Hmph, indeed, women are fickle."

    Yun Mu, "...I don't want to argue with you."

    She walked a few steps, holding up the stuffed toy and showing it to him. "See this? This is your grumpy face, asking for a beating!"

    Saying this, she clenched her small fists and punched the stuffed toy's face twice.

    Huo Tingying, "..."

    This woman...

    Huo Tingying stood there, watching Yun Mu stomp away, and took out a cigarette, taking a couple of puffs.

    Then he saw the woman walking back with the stuffed toy in her arms.

    She said weakly, "Where's your car? It's freezing."

    Huo Tingying sneered and raised an eyebrow at her. "Weren't you all high and mighty just now? Walk back yourself."

    Yun Mu, "Okay, stop it, it's late."

    Huo Tingying glanced at the time but didn't move.

    "Not going, I'll leave after midnight."

    Yun Mu looked at the time, 11:50 PM.

    She sniffed her frozen nose. "Huo Tingying, are you trying to get back at me for making you wait so long earlier? Don't be so childish, it's really cold..."

    Huo Tingying's sharp eyes gazed deeply at her, and he asked in a low voice, "Do you really not remember what day it is today?"

    Yun Mu looked confused and thought for a moment. "Give me a hint?"

    Huo Tingying took a deep breath.

    It seemed Lu Nansen was right; rituals were important. This woman probably forgot about their wedding day entirely!

    He almost gritted his teeth as he spat out a few words, "Our 100th day anniversary!"

    Yun Mu's expression suddenly froze.

    What?

    The 100th day anniversary?

    At that moment, the female warrior suddenly remembered Wen Qingqing had mentioned that people nowadays loved having a sense of ceremony, so every special event or holiday had its own anniversary.

    But she didn't expect there to be a 100-day anniversary?!
