Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

Liu Shiyin turned to look at Huo Muchen, puzzled, only to see him take a cell phone out of his desk drawer.

"You can take this."

Huo Muchen's voice remained as cold as ever.

Liu Shiyin looked at the phone in Huo Muchen's hand, her eyes filled with a mixture of determination and worry. In her view, it wasn't just a simple communication tool, but potentially a source of trouble. She didn't want any interaction with Huo Muchen outside of work, so she decisively refused.

"Thank you, Mr. Huo, but I don't want it. I already have a cell phone."

Liu Shiyin's voice was firm and clear; she didn't want to get herself into unnecessary trouble. She just wanted to do her job well and live a peaceful life.

As for Zhao Zixun's phone, Liu Shiyin had already made up her mind. She would accept the kindness, but would also repay it in her own way.

She decided to return the money for the phone to Zhao Zixun after she received her salary, so that she could solve her current predicament without owing him a favor.

Liu Shiyin was well aware of her identity and situation. She did not want to have any involvement with these powerful and influential people. She only wanted to maintain her independence and dignity.

Huo Muchen looked at her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He then stood up from behind his desk, walked to Liu Shiyin, looked down at her, and spoke with an undeniable air of authority:

"When did you buy this phone? Let me see it."

Unable to resist, Liu Shiyin had no choice but to take out the phone that Zhao Zixun had given her.

Huo Muchen took the phone, glanced at it, and found that it was a brand new model, exactly the same as the one in his hand.

A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, as if he were pondering something. Looking down again at the phone in Liu Shiyin's hand, he understood somewhat.

A mocking smile curled at the corners of Huo Muchen's lips, his eyes revealing deep disdain for Liu Shiyin. His words were like a cold winter wind, icy and merciless, piercing straight to Liu Shiyin's heart.

"Heh, you're quite the seductress. How many times have you slept with people to get a new phone?"

"You didn't get back until midnight on Monday, your day off. You two must have done a lot, right?"

Huo Muchen's voice was deep and cold, each word like a thorny arrow aimed at Liu Shiyin, his tone full of sarcasm and contempt. His gaze swept over Liu Shiyin as if she were a lowly plaything.

"However... it seems your skills in bed aren't very good, otherwise you wouldn't only have one cell phone. Or perhaps a woman like you is only worth one cell phone in Zhao Zixun's heart."

His voice grew colder and colder, each word like an ice scalpel cutting into Liu Shiyin's heart.

Liu Shiyin's body trembled, and her face turned deathly pale. She bit her lower lip tightly, trying to hold back her tears. She raised her head, her eyes flashing with determination, and retorted:

"There is no improper relationship between us. Please don't slander me."

Huo Muchen looked at her coldly, a hint of disdain in his eyes:

"Whether there is an improper relationship between you or not, I'm too lazy to investigate."

I just want to tell you that Zhao Zixun has many women, and scenes of jealousy and rivalry play out every day. You are a servant in the Huo family, so don't bring trouble home and embarrass me."

Liu Shiyin trembled with anger at his words, but she knew that arguing at this moment would be futile.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and then said:

"Mr. Huo, I will be careful with my words and actions and will not bring any negative impact to the Huo family or to you."

At the same time, I hope you can respect my privacy and stop slandering me with such unfounded accusations.

Huo Muchen looked at her, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He was silent for a moment, then said:

"Okay, I will respect your privacy. But if you really do something you shouldn't have done, I will never tolerate it."

After saying that, he turned and left the office, leaving Liu Shiyin standing there alone, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
