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

Could Chapter 9 be about keeping a mistress in a gilded cage?

He went straight to the table, sat down, and began to enjoy his breakfast attentively, as if everything that had just happened was just a brief interlude.

Seeing Huo Muchen like this, Liu Shiyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After finishing breakfast, Huo Muchen left home for the company to begin his new day's work.

"Ah Chen, why have you become so well-behaved lately? You won't even come out when I ask you to."

Gu Heng said jokingly, clearly curious about Huo Muchen's recent changes.

Huo Muchen raised his head, his gaze calm and profound. He smiled faintly, not directly answering Gu Heng's question. He said casually:

"I've been quite tired lately, so I rested as soon as I got home."

Gu Heng was clearly not satisfied with this answer. He leaned closer and said in a slightly teasing tone:

"Could he be keeping a mistress?"

Upon hearing this, a strange light flashed in Huo Muchen's eyes, but he quickly concealed it, pretending to be nonchalant as he said:

"Stop speculating, nothing of the sort happened."

Gu Heng's curiosity grew even stronger as he observed Huo Muchen's reaction. He knew Huo Muchen was always a calm and reserved person, rarely showing such an expression.

He secretly wondered if there really was some secret about Huo Muchen. However, he didn't press the matter further, after all, everyone has their own privacy and space.

He patted Huo Muchen on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Alright, since you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask. Oh, by the way, Qin Xiang should be back soon, right? This should be the last treatment, right?!"

Huo Muchen nodded, still expressionless, and said:

"Okay, I'll be back next month."

"Whenever there's good news, remember to invite us for wedding candy!"

Gu Heng is Huo Muchen's work partner, friend, and best buddy. He knows quite a bit about Huo Muchen and knows that he and Qin Xiang have been together for four or five years, so marriage is a natural thing to do.

But Huo Muchen paused slightly when Gu Heng mentioned "good news" and "wedding candy".

He looked up, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. He chuckled softly and said casually:

"Get to work, stop chatting here."

Gu Heng's curiosity grew even stronger as he observed Huo Muchen's reaction. Huo Muchen was known for his calm and reserved personality. He always maintained a composed and stable demeanor, as if no matter how turbulent the outside world was, it could all be calmed by a still pool of water within him.

He rarely showed his emotions, but this time he seemed somewhat uneasy. However, Huo Muchen was unwilling to discuss it; he had his own plans.

"I'll go to work now."

After speaking, Gu Heng turned and left, still puzzled.

Watching his departing figure, Huo Muchen felt a surge of indescribable emotions. He knew Gu Heng was his good friend, and his concern and curiosity were genuine. But he didn't want to discuss his personal affairs too much right now, hoping everything would unfold naturally.

After getting off work, Huo Muchen walked steadily through the villa's gate, just like always. The night light shone on his deep eyes, adding a touch of gentleness to his appearance.

He walked to the sofa, sat down, took off his tie, and unbuttoned his shirt, allowing his body, which had been tense all day, a moment of relaxation.

"Mr. Huo, have you had dinner? Would you like me to prepare something for you?"

A soft, delicate voice came from beside him. Huo Muchen looked up at Liu Shiyin's always timid face, and remembering Zhang Qian's words, he suddenly felt inexplicably irritated.
