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

"Shiyin, take this cup of coffee to the young master's study."

Aunt Wang instructed.

"Aunt Wang, I..."

Liu Shiyin stood to the side, a hint of hesitation flashing across her face.

She gently bit her lip, seemingly considering how to explain to Aunt Wang the awkward relationship between her and Huo Muchen.

However, when she recalled her recent encounters with Huo Muchen, in which he didn't even glance at her, she thought that perhaps it was all just wishful thinking on her part.

"what happened?"

Aunt Wang looked at Liu Shiyin, who seemed hesitant and slightly dazed, and asked, somewhat puzzled,

"Yes, it's alright, Aunt Wang, I'll go deliver it."

He took the coffee from Aunt Wang and walked towards the study.

"knock knock"

Liu Shiyin stood at the door and gently knocked.

"Enter"

A familiar yet cold voice rang out, and Liu Shiyin gently pushed open the study door and went inside.

She saw Huo Muchen sitting at his desk, working intently, seemingly unaware of her arrival.

She placed the coffee and pastries on the desk and said softly:

"Mr. Huo, your coffee."

Huo Muchen looked up and saw that it was Liu Shiyin. He nodded in response.

Seeing this, Liu Shiyin's heart sank, and she turned and hurriedly left the study. As she stepped out, she let out a soft sigh.

Huo Muchen felt a little annoyed as he watched Liu Shiyin's departing figure. He took a sip of coffee and focused his energy back on his work.

He was indeed a ruthless businessman; he didn't want to think too much about matters of the heart. He preferred straightforwardness and disliked being tied down by anyone, especially not emotionally.

"let's go?"

In the afternoon, Qin Xiang urged Huo Muchen to go shopping with her.

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes."

"Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you."

Qin Xiang said gently,

While Huo Muchen was changing clothes, Qin Xiang called Liu Shiyin over.

"You'll come with us later,"

Qin Xiang spoke coldly,

Liu Shiyin was slightly taken aback, wondering what Qin Xiang was up to now. Although she was somewhat unwilling, she knew that opposition was never effective with Qin Xiang, so she could only nod in agreement.

"it is good."

"Let's go,"

Huo Muchen, having changed his clothes, came downstairs.

Liu Shiyin slightly raised her head, her gaze falling on Huo Muchen.

Huo Muchen felt Liu Shiyin's gaze lingering on him, but he didn't even glance at her. He walked straight to Qin Xiang, bent down, and picked her up.

"Please take care of my wheelchair and bag, Shion,"

Qin Xiang looked at Liu Shiyin behind her and said,

Hearing Qin Xiang's words, Huo Muchen paused slightly, looked down at Qin Xiang in his arms, and Qin Xiang quickly said:

"Shion can help us carry things, and it's also convenient for girls to take care of me,"

Huo Muchen remained silent upon hearing this, and continued walking towards the door with Qin Xiang in his arms.

Sitting in the back row, Liu Shiyin kept her eyes on the scenery outside the window. Her face was expressionless and emotionless, as if she were immersed in her own world.

Huo Muchen sat in the driver's seat, glancing at her casually in the rearview mirror. Liu Shiyin looked just like the day he picked her up from prison—melancholy, taciturn, as if isolated from the world.

Listening to Qin Xiang talking incessantly beside him, Huo Muchen suddenly found it a bit noisy.

He lightly pressed the accelerator, and the car shot off like an arrow. The car traced a smooth arc along the road and disappeared from sight in an instant.

The surrounding scenery rushed past as if rewinding, leaving only blurry silhouettes. He wanted to get to the mall quickly to get some fresh air.

After arriving at the mall, Huo Muchen helped Qin Xiang into her wheelchair and then said:

"You go up first, I'll come find you later."

"it is good,"

Qin Xiang knew Huo Muchen didn't like shopping, but she was still very happy to hear that he would be looking for her later.

Just as Huo Muchen turned to leave, Qin Xiang called him back.
