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

Why is she crying again in Chapter 260?

Liu Shiyin raised her head, her slightly red and sorrowful eyes gazing into Huo Muchen's eyes, as if she could see her own reflection in his gaze.

"But beside you..."

Liu Shiyin recalled the scene of Huo Muchen being kissed on the street.

"I don't have any other women around me right now,"

Before Liu Shiyin could finish speaking, Huo Muchen interjected with the truth. He was so intelligent; how could he not understand her concerns?

Liu Shiyin was shocked by this sudden candor, and her eyes were filled with surprise and confusion.

"Your thoughts are written all over your face, stop overthinking, come here,"

Huo Muchen smiled and ruffled her long hair, then took her hand and led her to the cake. He picked up a spoon, scooped a small spoonful of cake, and placed it near Liu Shiyin's lips.

"Happy birthday,"

Liu Shiyin slowly opened her mouth and ate a little, but tears streamed down her face uncontrollably at that moment.

She didn't know why she was crying; perhaps it was because she was moved, perhaps because she felt wronged, or perhaps because happiness had come too suddenly.

"Why are you crying again, huh?"

Huo Muchen's voice carried a hint of helplessness, yet was also full of tenderness. He gently lifted Liu Shiyin's chin and gently wiped the remaining cream from her lips with his thumb.

Huo Muchen's gaze was fixed on Liu Shiyin's small face. Her lips, already as luscious as cherries, became even more delicate and alluring under his gentle touch, like roses glistening with dew.

Her red, tear-filled eyes and slightly rosy nose made her appear even more pitiful, like a broken doll looking up at him—was it accusation, seduction, or dependence? It was hard to tell.

Huo Muchen's heart was instantly filled with an indescribable emotion: heartache for her, longing for her, and endless desire for her.

He could no longer bear the oppressive atmosphere and the frail and helpless Liu Shiyin before him.

He lowered his head and kissed her deeply. The kiss was as fierce as a storm, yet it was also filled with endless tenderness and care.

Liu Shiyin was so startled by his sudden kiss that she forgot to cry. Her eyes widened as she looked at Huo Muchen's face, which was so close to hers. She slowly closed her eyes, letting Huo Muchen's lips linger and linger on hers.

Huo Muchen's eyes were deep and burning, and his lips and teeth plundered hers wantonly. Every touch felt like a flame burning her. Her body went limp involuntarily, and she could only quietly nestle in his arms.

His reason and self-control burned wildly, like a raging fire in the night, until they were reduced to ashes, leaving only his insane desires roaring.

He kissed Liu Shiyin's earlobe, neck, and lips, finding the most delicate and soft spot on her skin and sucking hard, as if trying to penetrate her skin and reach her bloodstream.

"Ah~"

Feeling the pain, Liu Shiyin cried out softly. Her unfocused eyes fell into Huo Muchen's gaze. Huo Muchen chuckled, then picked Liu Shiyin up and carried her towards the bedroom.

The living room lights went out, plunging the room into darkness, while the master bedroom lights came on, emitting a soft and warm glow.

After a while, the light dimmed again, leaving only a solitary wall lamp that cast a dim glow, casting two intertwined shadows.

Huo Muchen gently took Liu Shiyin's hand, their fingers intertwined, as if they wanted to bind their lives together.

He pressed her hand above his head, lowered his head slightly, his eyes sparkling with deep love, and gently kissed her cheeks, the tip of her nose, and the corners of her lips. The kisses were as soft as a drizzle, yet they carried endless affection.
