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

Chapter 120 Some things you have to face sooner or later.

Huo Muchen felt a little helpless, but a hint of heartache flashed in his eyes. He gently held Liu Shiyin's hand and said softly:

"You!"

"Oh, by the way, honey, isn't your mother still in the hospital? What are the conditions like there? Why don't we transfer her to one of Huo's private hospitals? The medical facilities and services there are top-notch, and she'll definitely receive better care."

Upon hearing Huo Muchen mention her mother, Liu Shiyin's heart instantly turned heavy. She lowered her eyes slightly and said in a trembling voice:

"No need for now. My mother's condition is relatively stable right now. I will visit her more often and hope she can recover soon."

Although she tried to remain calm, she could not hide her worry and sadness. However, there was still a mystery in her heart—the mysterious woman she would encounter every time she visited her mother.

Who exactly is she? Why does she always appear there? These questions left Liu Shiyin confused and uneasy.

Huo Muchen seemed to understand her thoughts. He gently embraced her, kissed her forehead, and whispered:

"Okay then, contact me if anything comes up, and don't overthink it. Get some rest."

Liu Shiyin nestled in Huo Muchen's arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, and the turmoil in her heart gradually subsided.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly drifted into a sweet dream.

Happy times always pass too quickly. After accompanying Huo Muchen to two more days of meetings, Huo Muchen told Liu Shiyin in the afternoon that the work here was coming to an end and that he had to go home that evening. Liu Shiyin felt a pang of loss and worry; she simply couldn't face Qin Xiang.

Liu Shiyin was filled with guilt and self-blame. She didn't know how to face Qin Xiang's gaze or how to explain her actions. She just wanted to escape, to escape all this turmoil and complexity.

"I want to go back to the hotel. Would you like to go to the Huo residence first?"

Liu Shiyin looked at Huo Muchen, who was handling official business beside her, and spoke.

Huo Muchen stopped what he was doing and said:

"Some things we have to face sooner or later, don't worry, leave it all to me,"

After hearing this, Liu Shiyin lowered her head and remained silent. She understood that there was no escaping it.

Huo Muchen got out of the car and naturally reached out to hold Liu Shiyin's hand, but Liu Shiyin gently turned her body to the side, avoiding his hand, and then hurriedly walked into the courtyard.

Huo Muchen watched her hurried figure and shook his head helplessly. He walked into the living room and did not see Qin Xiang, but unexpectedly saw Lin Xiangyao with a surprised expression.

Lin Xiangyao looked at Huo Muchen and felt like she was dreaming.

"Mr. Huo, you're back!"

Lin Xiangyao looked at Huo Muchen and asked shyly,

Huo Muchen merely glanced at her indifferently.

Where is Qin Xiang?

Lin Xiangyao felt a little disappointed when she heard that Huo Muchen had just returned and immediately asked about Qin Xiang, but she still quickly replied:

"Miss Qin is in her room. I'll go and call her right away."

However, Huo Muchen waved his hand and said, "No need."

After saying that, he walked straight towards Qin Xiang's room.

"Xiao Fan, what should I do? It seems like Mu Chen has really fallen for that bitch Liu Shiyin. I'm so heartbroken. I feel like Mu Chen is drifting further and further away from me."

Qin Xiang's voice trembled slightly. The bitterness in her heart, like a suppressed spring, finally found an outlet and burst forth.

She confided to Xu Xiaofan about her confusion and pain regarding the relationship between Huo Muchen and Liu Shiyin; that sense of powerlessness and loss deeply gnawed at her heart.
