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

Seeing her trembling, Huo Muchen reached out and pulled her into his arms, saying gently:

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. I won't let anyone hurt you."

"Why, why you of all people..."

Liu Shiyin sobbed in his arms, murmuring softly, her voice filled with confusion and struggle.

She took a deep breath of Huo Muchen's familiar and reassuring scent, a scent that felt like a safe haven in her heart, yet also like a knife piercing her soul.

Liu Shiyin stretched out her trembling hands and gently wrapped them around Huo Muchen's waist. Her movements were soft and slow, as if she were carefully protecting this precious feeling.

Huo Muchen felt Liu Shiyin's embrace; this was the first time Liu Shiyin had hugged him back. His heart raced involuntarily; this was an experience he had never had before.

Is this what it means to be moved? Maybe...

At this moment, Huo Muchen seemed to finally understand his feelings for Liu Shiyin. He realized that these feelings were not just a passing fancy, but a genuine affection that stemmed from the depths of his heart.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed Liu Shiyin to stay at the Huo residence after treating him that way, and he certainly wouldn't have felt nervous and worried when he heard her crying.

He looked down at Liu Shiyin in his arms. Her tears had stopped, but her eyes were still slightly red.

He gently cupped her face and wiped away the remaining tear tracks from the corner of her eye with his thumb. His eyes were filled with tenderness and affection, as if he wanted to take away all her sorrow.

"Alright, let's go, let's go out,"

"Okay, but... I don't want to wear this dress."

Liu Shiyin frowned slightly and said with a hint of grievance,

Huo Muchen smiled upon seeing this. He walked behind Liu Shiyin and carefully unzipped her zipper a little. His gaze unconsciously lingered on Liu Shiyin's smooth, delicate shoulders and slender back.

"I'll go outside and wait for you."

Huo Muchen said softly, his voice slightly hoarse.

"kindness,"

A blush rose on Liu Shiyin's cheeks as she softly replied.

"Hello, Mr. Huo!"

As soon as Huo Muchen appeared, store manager Zhang Xue immediately came to greet him, her voice revealing deep respect and a hint of barely perceptible nervousness.

Huo Muchen didn't say much, but simply found a stool and sat down, staring intently at her, as if waiting for a reasonable explanation.

Zhang Xue understood that the silence at this moment was more heavy than any words.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm her turmoil, and then said respectfully:

“Mr. Huo, I am truly sorry that we failed to recognize that the girl as your friend in time. This was a mistake on our part, and I feel deeply remorseful. I have already taken serious disciplinary action against the employee involved and will ensure that they will provide more attentive and considerate service to every customer in the future. Mr. Huo, please give us a chance to correct our mistake and improve ourselves.”

Although her voice trembled slightly, her attitude was exceptionally sincere.

She hoped that Huo Muchen could feel her sincerity and determination, and that he could give them a chance to correct their mistakes.

However, Huo Muchen seemed unmoved by her sincerity. He spoke calmly:

"Pack up all the clothes here, including that girl's size."

Zhang Xue was a little confused by Huo Muchen's request, but she quickly realized what was going on and immediately called the shop assistants to get things done.

After changing back into her own clothes, Liu Shiyin came out of the fitting room and saw everyone busy at work, which made her feel a little confused.

She looked around and finally fixed her gaze on Huo Muchen.

After Huo Muchen saw Liu Shiyin come out of the fitting room, he stopped the shop assistant who was packing clothes.

The shop assistants, who had been busy, suddenly stopped. The contempt and disdain they had shown Liu Shiyin in their eyes were gone, replaced by apology and flattery.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Huo Muchen's voice rang out coldly in the deathly silent air.

The shop assistants looked at each other, none of them daring to speak.
