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

Chapter 299 Making you happy is my greatest pursuit and duty.

Back home, Liu Shiyin took off her heavy dress, changed into her pajamas, and quietly nestled in bed. A lingering sadness still lingered in her eyes.

“Come here, baby,”

Huo Muchen took off his coat and gently lay down next to Liu Shiyin. He reached out and tenderly pulled Liu Shiyin into his arms, letting her press tightly against his chest.

Huo Muchen's voice was deep and gentle as he softly stroked Liu Shiyin's hair and said:

"I'm sorry, I didn't think this through today. I shouldn't have brought you along."

His tone was filled with self-reproach and heartache. He felt deeply guilty for the pain and anxiety that Liu Shiyin had endured. He lowered his head and kissed Liu Shiyin's forehead, gently touching her cheek with the tip of his nose.

Liu Shiyin slightly raised her head, looked into Huo Muchen's eyes, and gently shook her head:

"How can I blame you? It's my own fault. Seeing her reminds me of so many bad things. I'm nervous and scared. I'm just too cowardly."

"You're not weak, you're just too kind and gentle. These are invaluable qualities in you. One should always keep a childlike heart, and your kindness and innocence are especially precious in this complex world."

Huo Muchen smiled at Liu Shiyin and said gently,

"Mu Chen, thank you. You're always so understanding, offering me endless emotional support and taking such meticulous care of me. Besides thank you, I really don't know how else to express my feelings."

Liu Shiyin looked at Huo Muchen with deep affection and said softly:

"My darling, we don't need many words to express our feelings. You are my most precious treasure, and I am willing to stay by your side forever, providing you with endless love and support. Making you happy is my greatest pursuit and obligation."

After Huo Muchen finished speaking, he lowered his head and gently kissed Liu Shiyin's neck, which was her most sensitive and softest spot.

His lips touched her lightly, sending a tingling sensation through her, causing Liu Shiyin to tremble slightly.

He slowly raised his head and kissed Liu Shiyin's small lips, his large hand lifting her nightgown and climbing to the highest peak.

"Mu Chen, I'll go remove my makeup first,"

Liu Shiyin spoke softly beneath Huo Muchen. Looking into her dazed eyes, Huo Muchen chuckled.

"It's okay, I'll carry you there in a bit,"

After saying that, he couldn't wait to kiss her lips again...

"Tell me, what are you going to do with that little bitch?"

Wang Qing's gaze swept over Xu Zhiyuan, who was sitting on the sofa, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

"Deal with her? Wang Qing, are you crazy? She's Huo Muchen's girlfriend now, and you actually want to get rid of her?"

"Do you know that your slap has ruined all our efforts tonight? Do you think everyone here is here to celebrate Xiao Fan's birthday? Most of them are here to see Huo Muchen and see if there's a chance to collaborate with him. That slap you just gave not only Huo Muchen's girlfriend, but also slapped the faces of all of us! Do you know how many opportunities we might have lost because of you?"

As Xu Zhiyuan spoke, his expression grew increasingly grim. He clenched his fists tightly, raised his head, and a hint of regret and resentment flashed in his eyes, but more so, anger towards Wang Qing.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qing's heart skipped a beat. Only then did she realize that since Huo Muchen left, many people had indeed made excuses to leave what should have been a lively gathering.

The departure of those people seemed to be a silent testament to Huo Muchen's influence in this circle.
