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

Chapter 137 This Mr. Xu seems so familiar...

"Mr. Huo, it's been a long time."

Huo Muchen raised his head and met the gaze of his business partner Xu Zhiyuan, who was walking towards him. He smiled slightly, revealing a polite and sincere smile.

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

"Hello, Mr. Xu,"

Huo Muchen and Gu Heng stood up almost simultaneously to greet Xu Zhiyuan, extending their hands for a friendly handshake.

Xu Zhiyuan's gaze shifted to Liu Shiyin, who was standing quietly to the side, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. He turned to Huo Muchen and asked with a smile:

"Who is this?"

Huo Muchen turned to look at Liu Shiyin, his eyes filled with tenderness and doting. He gently put his arm around Liu Shiyin's waist and introduced her to Xu Zhiyuan:

"This is my girlfriend, Liu Shiyin."

Liu Shiyin politely extended her hand and said with a smile:

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

The moment Liu Shiyin looked up, Xu Zhiyuan suddenly shuddered, his eyes revealing shock and helplessness. He tried hard to recall something, but seemed unable to be sure.

When Liu Shiyin saw Xu Zhiyuan, she felt a strange sense of disorientation. In her vague memory, she seemed to have seen this person before, but the memory was shrouded in mist and was unclear.

Huo Muchen noticed that Liu Shiyin's outstretched hand had not been grasped, so he spoke up to remind her:

"Mr. Xu."

Xu Zhiyuan then snapped out of his reverie, quickly reached out and grasped Liu Shiyin's hand, and said with an awkward smile:

"Hello, hello."

Some complex emotions still lingered in his eyes.

Huo Muchen and Gu Heng exchanged a glance. Gu Heng, sensing the subtle atmosphere, smiled and suggested:

"What a coincidence! Mr. Xu, have you finished eating? If you don't mind, let's have a meal together."

However, Xu Zhiyuan politely declined:

"Oh, no need, please enjoy your meal. I'm finished. I'll be going now, so as not to disturb you any longer."

Despite saying that, his gaze remained fixed on Liu Shiyin.

Seeing this, Gu Heng did not press the matter, but simply said:

"Okay, then I'll take you there."

Xu Zhiyuan nodded slightly and turned to leave. However, after taking only two steps, he suddenly turned back and said to Huo Muchen:

"Young Mr. Huo, my birthday is in a few days. I would be honored if you would grace my humble abode with your presence for a small gathering."

Huo Muchen initially wanted to refuse with another reason, but recalling the way Xu Zhiyuan had looked at Liu Shiyin earlier, a thought struck him, and he nodded in agreement:

"it is good."

As she watched Xu Zhiyuan's figure recede into the distance, Liu Shiyin's doubts surged like a tide. Her brows furrowed, as if she were trying hard to recall something.

Huo Muchen noticed Liu Shiyin's unease. He gently took her hand and asked softly:

"what happened?"

Liu Shiyin turned her head and looked into Huo Muchen's eyes, her eyes filled with a hint of confusion and bewilderment:

"This Mr. Xu seems so familiar, but I can't remember who he is. I feel like I've seen him before, when I was very young."

Huo Muchen frowned slightly, a strange emotion welling up within him. He pondered for a moment, then said:

"Perhaps you two had some interaction before, but it's been so long that your memories are hazy. But don't worry, I'll help you find out."

Liu Shiyin nodded, feeling slightly comforted.

"Hurry, hurry, eat quickly, it'll get cold!"

Gu Heng's voice drifted from afar, accompanied by his hurried footsteps, as if a gust of wind had swept by.

His arrival instantly enlivened the previously quiet restaurant atmosphere, and Liu Shiyin was amused by his energetic demeanor and chuckled.

After dinner, Huo Muchen and Liu Shiyin saw Zhang Qian off.
