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

Chapter 264 You didn't bring the necklace we bought together.

"baby,"

Huo Muchen's voice was deep and slightly hoarse, carrying a strange allure. His large hands roamed over Liu Shiyin's body, gentle yet powerful.

As Liu Shiyin felt that familiar and warm touch, a ripple of emotion stirred within her.

She gently grasped Huo Muchen's hand, trying to regain a sliver of reason amidst the escalating intimacy. Her face flushed, she shook her head slightly, but his warmth and strength were irresistible.

Huo Muchen looked at her, his eyes sparkling with doting affection and a smile. He didn't go any further, but gently pulled her into his arms, and the two quietly enjoyed this rare moment of tenderness.

They sat there quietly, letting time pass, until Liu Shiyin felt Huo Muchen's heartbeat gradually calm down. Only then did she gently raise her head and meet his deep eyes.

"Do you like these? If not, I'll take you out to pick some more."

Huo Muchen's gaze swept lightly over the dazzling array of gifts on the table and asked Liu Shiyin,

"You didn't bring the necklace we bought together. Did you throw it away?"

Liu Shiyin pouted slightly, her gaze lingering on Huo Muchen's neck, her tone revealing a barely perceptible sense of disappointment.

"No, it's at home. I'll bring it tomorrow, okay?"

Huo Muchen gently coaxed her. As he spoke, his phone rang. Huo Muchen glanced at the information on the screen, his brows furrowed slightly, and he turned to look at Liu Shiyin, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes.

"Honey, I have some work to take care of at the company, I have to go back now, I can't stay with you."

He had initially intended to bring Liu Shiyin along, but upon seeing Chen Xiaoliang's name in the message, he changed his mind.

Upon hearing this, Liu Shiyin quickly got off Huo Muchen, pulled him up, and headed towards the door. She didn't want to affect his work.

"You should go quickly, work is important,"

Huo Muchen gently stroked Liu Shiyin's cheek, his eyes filled with tenderness and reluctance.

"I'll finish things as soon as possible and then come back to be with you. Be good."

Liu Shiyin smiled and nodded, watching Huo Muchen leave. Looking at the time, it was almost noon. She decided to tidy up the room first before going to the flower shop.

She looked around, took a deep breath, and began to organize things methodically.

"what happened?"

Huo Muchen had just arrived downstairs at the company when he saw Gu Heng greeting him at the entrance. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked in a cold voice,

"All of the Chen family's businesses in China have now been transferred to the Huo family's control. We are also working diligently on the overseas operations. However, your father called to ask for leniency for Chen Hu and his son Chen Xiaoliang. They are currently waiting for you in the office."

Gu Heng spoke as he walked, and Huo Muchen was somewhat surprised. He had originally thought that the acquisition of Chen's was just a minor episode in a business war, but he did not expect his father to get involved. Huo Muchen did not say anything and continued walking towards the office.

"Didn't Uncle Huo say he would speak up for us? Why should we make this trip ourselves?"

Chen Xiaoliang muttered to himself, both his hands wrapped in thick bandages, the gruesome scar on his face sending chills down one's spine. He leaned back on the sofa, his face full of reluctance.

Chen Hu glared at his son, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment.

"You bastard! If you weren't always causing trouble, would we be humbling ourselves like this to beg for help? Do you even know who you've messed with this time? Huo Muchen, the head of the Huo family! Do you know how powerful he is? He can spend ten million today and bring twenty million back to the Huo Group from somewhere else tomorrow! Do you think this is a joke?"
