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

At that moment, she seemed to have lost her mind, and the coffee cup in her hand instantly became a tool for her to vent her anger, which she smashed hard at Liu Shiyin.

"what!"

Liu Shiyin gasped as the coffee cup hit her forehead, and the warm coffee trickled down her cheek.

She covered her forehead and squatted down on the ground, the pain rendering her speechless.

Aunt Wang was stunned by the scene. Upon hearing Liu Shiyin's voice, she quickly snapped out of her shock and knelt down to check on Liu Shiyin's injuries.

She saw that Liu Shiyin's face was already red and swollen, and felt a pang of heartache.

She pulled Liu Shiyin up and said urgently:

"Quick, let's go to the kitchen and treat the wound."

He then grabbed her and ran towards the kitchen.

Qin Xiang, standing to the side, looked disdainful, as if all of this had nothing to do with her.

"Xiao Hong, make another cup of coffee."

Qin Xiang looked at her hands and slowly said,

"Oh, okay... okay, Miss Qin."

Xiao Hong was also stunned at this moment, and quickly turned around and walked towards the coffee machine.

What just happened was unexpected by everyone, so Liu Shiyin was completely unprepared.

Her right cheek and neck were covered in red, swollen marks from the scalding coffee, and her forehead was bleeding from a cut inflicted by the coffee cup.

Aunt Wang, feeling sorry for Liu Shiyin, applied ice to her face and then found gauze and bandages to bandage her wound.

"Shion, how are you?"

Aunt Wang asked with concern, gently placing the ice cubes in her hand on Liu Shiyin's wound, hoping to relieve some of the pain.

Liu Shiyin gritted her teeth, gently shook her head, and forced a smile to comfort Aunt Wang:

"I'm fine, Aunt Wang, don't worry."

Seeing Liu Shiyin's strong demeanor, Aunt Wang felt even more distressed.

She stood up, took out her phone to call Huo Muchen, but Liu Shiyin grabbed her hand and said in a weak voice:

"Aunt Wang, please don't hit him. Don't let these trivial matters affect Mr. Huo's work. Besides, I'm just a maid; hitting me won't make a difference."

Hearing Liu Shiyin's words, Aunt Wang felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.

She knew Liu Shiyin was telling the truth, but she still couldn't help feeling sad for Liu Shiyin.

She gently patted Liu Shiyin's hand, comforting her:

"Shiyin, don't worry, I'll figure something out. You go and get some rest first, I'll go get you some medicine."

After Liu Shiyin was injured in the afternoon, Qin Xiang finally quieted down for a while and did not appear again.

As night deepened, Liu Shiyin lay alone in bed, her heart filled with an indescribable sorrow.

At the moment she was injured, Huo Muchen's image involuntarily appeared in her mind, which made her feel a strange pang of sadness.

She kept telling herself that she couldn't have such thoughts anymore, but her heart wouldn't listen.

She shook her head, trying to clear her mind of those chaotic thoughts.

She got up and went to the mirror. She stared at her reflection, which showed her with swollen cheeks and a slightly disheveled appearance, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

I'm going to see my mother tomorrow. Thinking about her difficult situation and looking at myself now, we both seem like clowns being played by fate, helpless and miserable.

Liu Shiyin sighed deeply, a wave of bitterness washing over her.

She couldn't understand why her life had turned out this way. She asked herself this question countless times, trying to find the answer, but each time she only found herself bewildered and helpless.

Tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably; she couldn't control her emotions. She let the tears flow, allowing the sorrow in her heart to be released along with them.

The phone rang; it was Huo Muchen. He'd been calling around this time for the past few days.

Liu Shiyin quickly wiped away her tears, calmed herself down, and answered the phone.

"Hey,"

But her heavy nasal tone betrayed her.

"What's wrong? Are you crying?"

On the other side, Huo Muchen asked somewhat nervously,

"No, I just have a bit of a cold,"

Liu Shiyin had no choice but to tell a lie.

"Really? Then I won't bother you any longer. You get some rest, I'll be going back in a couple of days."

Okay, sure.

Looking at the phone after she hung up, and remembering the news that Huo Muchen would be back in a couple of days, Liu Shiyin felt a surge of joy and excitement.

Even she herself didn't realize that her mood could be swayed by a few words from Huo Muchen.
