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

Chapter 317 I love you, and it will only be you.

"You and Xu Xiaofan were childhood sweethearts, and were you even betrothed as children?"

"Huh? Who said that? I didn't know that,"

Huo Muchen was even more surprised when he heard it was about him, and this was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.

"If it's true, would you... would you marry her?"

Liu Shiyin stroked Huo Muchen's cheek and asked sadly,

"Baby, don't overthink it. Whether this arranged marriage is real or not, I will never marry any woman other than you. I love you, and only you."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something important. He opened the drawer of his desk and took out an exquisite box.

He carefully opened the box, and a sparkling diamond ring came into view.

Huo Muchen looked at Liu Shiyin with deep affection and said slowly:

"Baby, I prepared this diamond ring on the very first day we got back together. I want to use it to propose to you. I know we still have a long way to go, but I hope that every step of the future can be taken with you. Is that okay? Baby, will you marry me?"

Liu Shiyin had never seen Huo Muchen so serious and nervous before, and her heart was filled with emotion; tears welled up in her eyes.

She gently stroked Huo Muchen's cheek and said softly:

"Mu Chen, you have always been my only and my greatest love. I dream of marrying you and having a baby of our own, but I also understand that this is not just a matter between the two of us. I hope to get your parents' consent and blessings, after all, my identity and experience... I don't want to cause you or your family any trouble or embarrassment because of me."

"You're wonderful—kind, resilient, beautiful, and innocent. I believe everyone who knows you would say the same, including my parents. Don't worry, my parents are very understanding; they'll definitely like you. They're back this morning, and I'll take you to meet them tonight. I really don't want to wait any longer, baby. I want to marry you; I want you to belong completely to me."

Huo Muchen held Liu Shiyin tightly, leaning against her chest as he spoke. Liu Shiyin lowered her head and kissed the top of his head, her voice tinged with nervousness.

"Are we meeting tonight? I'm a little nervous~"

Upon hearing this, Huo Muchen raised his head, a malicious smile appearing on his face.

"Are you nervous? Let me help you relax, okay?"

Before Liu Shiyin could react, he stood up, picked her up, and carried her towards the lounge...

"Mu Chen, I'm so nervous."

Liu Shiyin stood outside the tall and luxurious manor villa, her voice trembling with fear.

"Now let's go back to the car, and I'll help you relax a bit more, okay?"

Huo Muchen held Liu Shiyin's cold little hand, sensing her unease, and began to tease her.

"You...why are you like this?"

Liu Shiyin blushed at his words, and Huo Muchen burst into laughter upon seeing this.

"It's okay, baby. My parents aren't monsters, and I'll always be here for you, so don't worry,"

Huo Muchen kissed Liu Shiyin's cheek, then took her hand and led her into the house.

"Aunt Hong, where are my parents?"

Huo Muchen walked into the living room and found only the maid, Aunt Hong, there. He looked around and asked in confusion.

"The young master is back!"

When Aunt Hong saw Huo Muchen, a joyful smile appeared on her face.

She and Aunt Wang from the Huo family both watched Huo Muchen grow up from childhood and doted on him.

Seeing Huo Muchen, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Aunt Hong was overjoyed and quickly went forward to greet him.
