The car soon arrived at a restaurant. After parking the car smoothly, Zhao Zixun walked around to Liu Shiyin's side and gentlemanly opened the car door for her.

Liu Shiyin bowed slightly, thanked the waiter, and stepped out of the car, walking into the restaurant with Zhao Zixun. The restaurant was softly lit and had a warm atmosphere. A waiter led them to a seat by the window.

Liu Shiyin looked around, feeling the unfamiliar environment, and couldn't help but feel uneasy and restrained.

She instinctively gripped the bag tightly, her fingers gently tracing the texture of the edges, trying to calm her inner tension.

Zhao Zixun noticed Liu Shiyin's unease, smiled gently, and said softly:

"Shiyin, the environment here is quite nice, and the food is good too. I hope you like it."

Liu Shiyin nodded, forcing a smile. She looked down at the menu on the table, only to find that she couldn't understand the dishes at all, and felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing this, Zhao Zixun immediately took the menu and began ordering for the two of them. He asked Liu Shiyin about her tastes and preferences, and then carefully selected several dishes.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Zhao Zixun kept chatting with Liu Shiyin, trying to ease her nervousness.

Although Liu Shiyin didn't say much, she gradually relaxed under Zhao Zixun's guidance. Soon, the dishes were served one after another. Zhao Zixun carefully poured water for Liu Shiyin and helped her adjust the position of her tableware.

His every move seemed so natural and considerate, but Zhao Zixun's care and enthusiasm made Liu Shiyin feel somewhat overwhelmed.

"I'm going to the restroom."

Liu Shiyin spoke softly, then stood up, preparing to leave her seat.

Seeing this, Zhao Zixun immediately stood up and offered a concerned suggestion:

"Shall I stay with you?"

Liu Shiyin gently waved her hand, politely declining:

Although her voice was gentle, it revealed an undeniable stubbornness.

Seeing Liu Shiyin's determined gaze, Zhao Zixun nodded in agreement, but still watched her leave her seat.

Liu Shiyin felt slightly lost in the huge restaurant. She looked around, searching for the direction of the restroom.

Just then, she saw a waiter busily moving between the tables, so she went up to him and politely asked:

"Excuse me, how do I get to the restroom?"

The waiter smiled and pointed in a direction. Liu Shiyin thanked him and continued walking forward.

However, as she passed by a private room, she unexpectedly saw Huo Muchen and his group of people coming out of the room.

Liu Shiyin's heart tightened suddenly. She instinctively wanted to look away, but Huo Muchen had already noticed her presence. His gaze lingered on Liu Shiyin for a moment, seemingly surprised, but then returned to calm.

Liu Shiyin braced herself, trying her best to remain calm and avoid excessive eye contact with Huo Muchen. She quickly walked past the door of the private room, secretly relieved that the restroom was nearby.

Huo Muchen watched Liu Shiyin's retreating figure, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He turned and said something to the people beside him, then the group continued on their way, quickly disappearing from Liu Shiyin's sight.

As soon as Liu Shiyin stepped out of the bathroom, her arm was suddenly grabbed by a force. She looked up in surprise and was met with Huo Muchen's deep and complex gaze.

"Why are you here?"

Huo Muchen asked,
