Chapter 302 scared you, didn't it?

"I have never been able to understand my parents' trust in Xu Zhiyuan."

Huo Muchen's voice revealed a hint of confusion and helplessness.

"Although they were classmates and friends for many years, the business world is like a battlefield, and their trust seemed too blind. Xu Zhiyuan was simply not cut out for business, but my parents forced him into his current position."

He took a deep breath and continued:

"When they return, I will definitely ask them all the questions. And this time, I will not allow the Xu family to continue to survive in the business world, no matter what."

Huo Muchen stood up, walked to the window, and gazed into the distance. He knew that to completely destroy the Xu family, he needed careful planning and ingenious strategies.

He will use the Huo family's advantageous resources to gradually weaken the Xu family's power and eventually destroy it completely.

"Xiaoyou, be careful on the road,"

After finishing her workday, before leaving, Liu Shiyin gave Liu Shiyin some instructions.

"Okay, Sister Shishi, you should go back too and get some rest. See you tomorrow."

Watching Xiaoyou's disappearing figure, Liu Shiyin packed up and prepared to leave as well.

On her way home, Liu Shiyin suddenly felt a strange chill; she felt as if someone was watching her from behind.

The feeling of being spied on sent chills down her spine. She instinctively gripped her bag tightly and quickened her pace.

The surrounding streetlights were dim, and the number of pedestrians gradually decreased. Liu Shiyin quickened her pace, silently praying that it was just an illusion.

However, the feeling of being spied on grew stronger, as if a pair of eyes were staring intently at her.

She dared not look back, and could only quicken her pace, trying to shake off this feeling of unease. But the faster she walked, the more the feeling pressed down on her heart like a boulder, making it hard for her to breathe.

When she finally saw the stairs leading to her room, Liu Shiyin breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.

However, just as she stepped onto the stairs, a strong arm suddenly reached out from behind and tightly embraced her waist.

"what--"

Liu Shiyin screamed in fright at the sudden touch. Her heart raced instantly, and her body stiffened, unable to move.

In those brief few seconds, all sorts of terrifying thoughts flashed through her mind, and fear almost suffocated her.

"It's me, it's me. Don't be afraid, baby. I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

Hearing Liu Shiyin's terrified scream, Huo Muchen quickly spoke up. He released his arms and then gently pulled her into his embrace to soothe her emotions.

Liu Shiyin trembled in Huo Muchen's arms. She slowly raised her head and looked at the familiar and warm face in front of her.

Her heartbeat gradually calmed down, but the fear in her heart still lingered.

"How will you be here?"

She asked softly, her voice trembling slightly.

"I didn't have much to do today, so I turned down some social engagements and thought I'd come over early to be with you,"

Huo Muchen held the trembling Liu Shiyin in his arms and said gently,

"You scared me,"

Liu Shiyin nestled tightly in Huo Muchen's arms, feeling the warmth and strength emanating from him.

Huo Muchen gently stroked her hair, looking at her with heartache:

"I'm sorry, it won't happen again,"

Huo Muchen lowered his head and kissed Liu Shiyin's forehead, then pulled her back into his arms, whispering comforting words in her ear.

The two embraced at the top of the stairs until Liu Shiyin's fear and unease completely dissipated, at which point Huo Muchen took her hand and led her upstairs.
