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

"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Huo Muchen's voice carried a hint of weariness. He had worked overtime all night to finish various documents. When he entered the bedroom, he found Liu Shiyin still lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, seemingly lost in her own thoughts.

He gently climbed onto the bed, nestled in Liu Shiyin's arms, and tenderly stroked her body with his large hands, trying to soothe the turmoil in her heart.

"Mu Chen, about the photos..."

She spoke slowly, her voice trembling with uncertainty. Huo Muchen looked up at her, a hint of determination and tenderness flashing in his eyes. He smiled, took out his phone, and gently opened a video.

"Nothing happened that night, baby, you see."

He spoke softly, pointing his phone screen at Liu Shiyin. The video was one he had prepared beforehand; he had carefully edited the footage, blurring Li Yong's face with a mosaic, leaving only the scene from that night.

Liu Shiyin watched the video intently, tears glistening in her eyes.

When the video finished playing, she suddenly burst into tears, which streamed down her face like beads from a broken string. Huo Muchen held her tightly, letting her vent her grievances and fears.

He knew that those photos were a huge shadow over Liu Shiyin, and now that the truth was out, the emotionally sensitive Liu Shiyin was bound to be overwhelmed and needed to release and alleviate her pain.

"Don't cry. You've suffered so much these past few years. It won't happen again, okay?"

Huo Muchen gently patted Liu Shiyin's back and softly comforted her.

"Thank you, Mu Chen, thank you,"

Liu Shiyin looked at Huo Muchen, her eyes brimming with tears, and said...

"You're welcome,"

Huo Muchen chuckled and gently flicked the tip of her nose, then pulled her into his arms. The two lay down together, and with Huo Muchen's soft words of comfort, Liu Shiyin gradually drifted off to sleep...

"According to our latest report, the Xu Group declared bankruptcy this morning. The Xu Group had been facing financial difficulties and debt problems for the past few years, and its debt crisis had persisted for some time, ultimately leading to bankruptcy. At the same time, the Public Security Bureau and the court received multiple cases related to Xu Zhiyuan's wife and daughter. These cases involve serious acts such as conspiracy, instigation, and abetting. The procuratorate has swiftly detained and questioned the suspects. According to eyewitnesses, Xu Zhiyuan collapsed on the spot when his wife and children were taken away, unable to withstand the pressure. They have been sent to the hospital for examination. Further information requires further investigation and reporting."

Looking at the news report, Liu Shiyin looked at Huo Muchen with some anxiety.

“They all deserved it. I’ve already arranged for people to guard Xu Zhiyuan at the hospital, so don’t worry.”

Hearing Huo Muchen's words, Liu Shiyin nestled in his arms and remained silent for a long time.

"Mom, I've come to see you. Look, this is my husband, your son-in-law. Isn't he handsome? He treats me very well, so you don't need to worry. And, do you see? My little baby is due next month. Mom, I really hope you can see him!"

Liu Shiyin stood in front of her mother's tombstone, gently stroking it with both hands, a tender smile on her face, but tears welled up in her eyes.

"Didn't we agree not to cry? Be good, don't cry,"

Huo Muchen gently embraced Liu Shiyin, gazing at Liu Qin's gentle smiling face on the tombstone, and slowly spoke.

"Mom, I'm Mu Chen, your beloved daughter's husband. I'm so sorry it's only now that I'm here to see you. I love Shishi very much, so very much. Please rest assured, I will treat her well. She will always be the exception, the first choice, the only one. I promise you that."

As soon as Huo Muchen finished speaking, a gentle, warm breeze blew by, lightly brushing their faces, as if bringing Liu Qin's tenderness and blessings.

As Liu Shiyin felt the breeze, the sadness in her heart gradually dissipated. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked tenderly at Huo Muchen, and the two gazed at each other affectionately, their smiles radiant.

They knew that their mother had come, and she was embracing and caressing them in her own unique way...

"Finish"
