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

Chapter 172 Mom, look how beautiful the scenery is!

At this point, Huo Muchen suddenly recalled the scene of Liu Shiyin dropping him off at work that morning.

At that moment, her eyes revealed despair and reluctance, as if hiding some unspeakable secret. She kept waving goodbye outside the car window until his figure disappeared from sight.

A chill ran through Huo Muchen’s heart. Had she already decided to leave him from that moment on?

Huo Muchen asked himself the question, his heart filled with confusion and bewilderment. He had always treated Liu Shiyin with sincerity and doted on her. Their relationship had once been so sweet and beautiful, but now it had suddenly become so fragile and vulnerable.

He couldn't understand why Liu Shiyin would suddenly leave him without even an explanation.

Huo Muchen's heart was filled with pain and loss. He felt as if he had been struck by an invisible force, and he became listless. He closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down, but the turmoil in his heart was hard to quell.

Seeing Huo Muchen's pained expression, Gu Heng couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. He understood that Huo Muchen was currently going through a huge emotional storm and needed time and space to process and face it.

He gently patted Huo Muchen's shoulder, trying to offer him some comfort:

"Don't worry too much. Perhaps she just has something to take care of temporarily, which is why she hasn't contacted you. We'll continue to send people to search for her, and we believe we'll have news soon."

Huo Muchen didn't speak, but simply nodded silently.

"Mom, look how beautiful this scenery is! It looks just like our old home, doesn't it?"

Liu Shiyin spoke softly to her mother. Although she looked a little tired after not sleeping all night, her spirit seemed to find some relief amidst the green hills and clear waters.

She pushed her mother slowly towards the back of the inn. There, a stretch of verdant mountains rose and fell, like a green barrier of nature, guarding this peaceful place.

The clear mountain streams flow gently, making a pleasant sound, as if telling the secrets of nature.

The air is filled with a fresh scent, a blend of earthy fragrance and floral aromas, making one feel relaxed and happy.

After taking her mother for a walk, Liu Shiyin pushed her back to the hotel. A slight worry welled up in her heart. She had wanted to see if there were any better places to stay nearby so that her mother could be more comfortable. But with her mother with her, it was ultimately inconvenient to go too far.

The landlord seemed to sense Liu Shiyin's worry. He stepped forward and said with a smile:

“Young lady, it must be tough for you to be here alone with your mother. If you don’t mind, I have another house not far from here. It’s a quiet place, perfect for recuperation.”

Upon hearing the landlord's words, a hint of surprise flashed in Liu Shiyin's eyes, and she quickly asked:

"Really? That's great! Can I go take a look?"

The landlord nodded, then turned to the woman beside him and said:

"Honey, could you watch over this auntie for me? I'm taking this young lady to look at the house."

The landlady responded kindly, then came over and whispered to Liu Shiyin:

"Girl, don't worry, I'll take good care of your mother."

Liu Shiyin nodded gently, a feeling of gratitude welling up in her heart. She followed behind the landlord along the path.
