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

After a long day at work, Huo Muchen pushed open the door to his home, and a strange feeling quietly welled up inside him. He looked around; everything seemed normal, yet something seemed to be missing. He frowned slightly, trying to find the reason for this unusual feeling.

His gaze fell on the maids Xiaohong and Xue'er, and he noticed that their expressions were somewhat strange, as if they were hiding some secret.

Huo Muchen walked over and asked in a deep voice:

"Did something happen at home today?"

Xiao Hong and Xue'er exchanged a glance, then looked at Qin Xiang approaching from a distance, a hint of fear flashing in their eyes.

Xiao Hong hesitated before speaking:

"Young Master, nothing...nothing happened..."

"Mu Chen, you're back?"

Qin Xiang's voice arrived before she did, carrying tenderness and anticipation.

"kindness,"

Huo Muchen gave a soft "hmm" and then walked outside. He wanted to find Liu Shiyin; he had called her twice that afternoon, but her phone was off. He felt uneasy.

"Mu Chen, I feel really upset today. Can you keep me company?"

Qin Xiang's voice was filled with grievance and heartache.

Although Huo Muchen stopped walking, he didn't turn towards Qin Xiang, as if he was struggling with something, or perhaps thinking about something.

Qin Xiang watched his retreating figure, a pang of sorrow welling up in her heart. She silently waited in place, awaiting Huo Muchen's decision.

Finally, Huo Muchen turned around, looked at Qin Xiang, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes:

"Qin Xiang, I..."

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but he didn't know where to begin.

Upon hearing this, the light in Qin Xiang's eyes gradually dimmed. Her voice trembled slightly with emotion:

"I won't bother you, just stay with me for a while, okay?"

Looking at Qin Xiang like this, Huo Muchen felt a pang of pity.

"it is good,"

He spoke softly.

He assumed Liu Shiyin was busy in the kitchen, so he decided to go find her later.

Upon hearing these words, Qin Xiang's eyes lit up again. She looked at Huo Muchen gratefully, as if at this moment, she had received the comfort she had longed for most.

The two sat side by side on the sofa. Huo Muchen was handling company matters on his phone, while Qin Xiang silently kept him company.

As dinnertime approached, Huo Muchen surveyed the busy workers, but still didn't see Liu Shiyin. Only Aunt Wang's eyes were filled with helplessness and anxiety, as if she had some unspeakable secret she wanted to tell but dared not.

Before Huo Muchen could ask a question, Qin Xiang spoke first:

"Aunt Wang, I haven't seen Liu Shiyin all afternoon. Where did she go?"

Qin Xiang asked softly, her voice gentle, but her eyes were sharp as knives, staring intently at Aunt Wang.

"She, she went out this afternoon,"

Aunt Wang lowered her head, neither looking at Qin Xiang nor Huo Muchen, and spoke.

Huo Muchen trusted Aunt Wang a lot, so he naturally believed her words. He had promised Liu Shiyin that she could go out at any time, so after hearing Aunt Wang's words, his worries about Liu Shiyin were somewhat relieved.

Qin Xiang, who was standing to the side, was also satisfied with Aunt Wang's answer and turned to look at Huo Muchen beside her.

He was no longer distracted; his expression had relaxed considerably, no longer showing worry and anxiety.

She smiled and said to Aunt Wang:

"Alright, we understand. You may leave."

Aunt Wang breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave the restaurant.

After finishing dinner, Huo Muchen went upstairs to his room.

He knew that Liu Shiyin always used her private time to visit her mother in the hospital, but the fact that he couldn't get through to her on the phone still bothered Huo Muchen.

Huo Muchen sat on the edge of the bed and dialed Liu Shiyin's number again, but all he heard was the message that the phone was switched off.

"His phone might be out of battery. He should be back later."

Huo Muchen thought to himself, then got up and went into the bathroom, intending to take a shower to relax. He wanted to wait for Liu Shiyin to return before going to see her, since he didn't have any clues at the moment and could only wait patiently.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Aunt Wang prepared to make a cup of coffee to take to Huo Muchen.

Also, tell Huo Muchen what happened when he saw Liu Shiyin leave this afternoon.
