Chapter 279 I don't want to kiss you right now.
Huo Muchen looked up and saw Liu Shiyin wearing a light purple sequined halter dress, looking pretty and charming. The sequins on the dress shimmered faintly under the light, as if illuminating the entire room.
Her long, black hair reached her waist and fell smoothly over her shoulders, making her skin appear even whiter and her lips even more luscious.
Huo Muchen strode forward, his gaze fixed on Liu Shiyin. Seeing her slightly pouting lips and red eyes, a surge of tenderness welled up within him.
He gently embraced Liu Shiyin, kissed her forehead, took the bag from her hand, and his voice was so soft it could melt ice and snow:
"Honey, why did you come? Why didn't you tell me? I could have picked you up. You must be exhausted. Come in."
Standing to the side, Li Nian had never seen Huo Muchen so affectionate and tender.
Looking at the intimate way the two of them were, and then seeing the tenderness and affection in Huo Muchen's eyes for Liu Shiyin, she felt a sudden sense of loss and self-mockery. She realized how presumptuous and ridiculous her feelings for Huo Muchen were.
Li Nian gave an awkward laugh, her voice trembling slightly:
"Mr. Huo, I'll head back now. Please get some rest and I wish you a speedy recovery."
After saying that, she didn't dare to look at Huo Muchen and Liu Shiyin again, and turned and left in a hurry.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Seeing Liu Shiyin sitting silently on the sofa, Huo Muchen knelt beside her, gently stroking her arms, and asked,
Liu Shiyin slightly raised her head, looking at Huo Muchen's concerned eyes, still feeling a little disappointed and dissatisfied. She turned her head to the side and spoke softly.
"No, I'm just a little tired."
Huo Muchen gazed intently at Liu Shiyin's beautiful yet slightly aloof face, a playful smile playing on his lips.
His voice echoed in the quiet air, tinged with a hint of mockery:
"Really? Then kiss me, I miss you so much,"
Liu Shiyin frowned slightly, her face flushed red, and after a moment she slowly spoke, her voice carrying a hint of stubbornness:
I don't want to kiss you right now.
Upon hearing this, Huo Muchen's smile deepened. He raised an eyebrow slightly and deliberately leaned closer.
"Why? Don't you love me anymore? Can't I even have a kiss?"
Liu Shiyin's heart tightened suddenly. She didn't answer, but just bit her lower lip tightly, as if trying to hide all her emotions under her stubborn face.
Seeing this, Huo Muchen stopped talking and just stared at Liu Shiyin quietly.
The air around her seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe. She didn't understand why Huo Muchen was treating her like this. Didn't he know about her doubts and unease?
"You...you don't even want to explain to me about the girl in your room?"
Liu Shiyin grew increasingly upset, and finally couldn't help but ask,
Huo Muchen stood up and sat on the spacious sofa. Seeing that Liu Shiyin had finally asked the question that had been bothering him, he chuckled softly. He reached out and gently pulled Liu Shiyin into his arms, letting her sit on his lap.
"Honey, you finally said it. Are you jealous? She was sent by our business partner to check on my health."
Huo Muchen's voice was full of doting affection as he gently cupped Liu Shiyin's cheeks, making her look into his eyes.
"From now on, don't keep everything bottled up inside. If you have any doubts or difficulties, you can tell me. I can explain and help you with anything, okay? I hope we can always be honest with each other."
