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

However, when Liu Shiyin stood up, her steps were slightly unsteady, and Gu Heng immediately stood up and instinctively reached out to support her waist.

Startled by the sudden touch, Liu Shiyin seemed to sober up a bit instantly, and she subconsciously moved away.

Gu Heng immediately realized that his actions might have been abrupt and quickly apologized:

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I was just worried you might fall. How about I take you home? You seem a little unsteady on your feet."

Liu Shiyin lowered her head and said softly:

"Thank you, I can go back by myself."

After saying that, she practically fled her seat.

Watching Liu Shiyin's hurried departure, Huo Muchen suddenly stood up and strode towards the door.

His gaze was fixed on the hand that Gu Heng was using to support Liu Shiyin's waist, and the anger in his heart seemed to be ignited, quickly spreading throughout his body.

Huo Muchen pursed his lips tightly, his brows furrowed, unable to calm down due to the anger and unease in his heart.

Mr. Huo,

"Where are you going, Ah Chen?"

Gu Heng and Lin Xiangyao spoke at the same time, but Huo Muchen seemed not to hear them, pushing open the door and walking outside.

Liu Shiyin had just left the private room and hadn't gone far when her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and then a force pulled her into a dark corner.

The sudden turn of events startled her, and her heart raced. She struggled to break free from the other person's hand, but the hand held her tightly like an iron clamp, making it impossible for her to move.

"Let me go, what are you going to do?"

Liu Shiyin's voice trembled as her eyes darted around in the darkness, trying to find a glimmer of hope for escape. However, all around was pitch black; she couldn't see anything clearly except for the hand that gripped her tightly, which filled her with endless fear.

Huo Muchen didn't answer her question. He simply pulled her forcefully into a private room and slammed the door shut. The room was pitch black and so quiet that only their rapid breathing could be heard.

Liu Shiyin's heart pounded even harder, and she felt her fear escalating, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping her heart.

Suddenly the room lights were switched on, and the blinding light instantly illuminated the entire room. Liu Shiyin's eyes couldn't adjust to the sudden brightness, and she squinted, trying to see everything clearly.

Huo Muchen stood before her, his face bearing a complex expression, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"You only got Zhao Zixun's phone a few days ago? And now you're flirting with Gu Heng? Drinking with him, smiling obsequiously, what kind of woman are you anyway?"

Huo Muchen suddenly spoke, his words like sharp blades piercing Liu Shiyin's heart. His voice was cold and ruthless, like the biting wind of deep winter, carrying a chilling edge.

Upon hearing this, Liu Shiyin felt as if struck by lightning, a nameless pain welling up within her. Her face instantly turned pale, like an autumn leaf battered by frost, utterly lifeless.

"In your heart, that's the kind of woman I am, isn't it?"

Liu Shiyin's voice trembled and was weak. She looked up at Huo Muchen, her eyes filled with sadness and pain. Every word she spoke revealed deep helplessness and grievance, as if she were telling him about her innocence and righteousness.

However, Huo Muchen seemed not to hear her explanation. His gaze remained cold and sharp, as if he could see right through her. He didn't speak, but simply stood there quietly, responding to her explanation with silence.

She looked at Huo Muchen quietly, her eyes melancholy yet bright, like a deep lake, concealing endless sorrow and grievances.

The two stared at each other, the air seeming to freeze.

Huo Muchen's gaze lingered on her face, looking at her pale and fragile features. A pang of pity shot through him. He suppressed his emotions and asked in a low voice:

"Then tell me, why did you come here with Lin Xiangyao so late, and how did you and Gu Heng meet?"

"Yaoyao said she wanted to buy some things and asked me to come with her. When we got here, I realized it was a bar. She said she was just here to say hello to a friend and then go back, I had no idea it would turn out like this. As for Gu Heng, Yaoyao introduced him to me at the entrance, I didn't know him before,"
