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

Chapter 248 Love is fastidious; it cannot tolerate even the slightest impurity.

Huo Muchen held Liu Shiyin tightly, his hands gently patting her back, as if comforting a frightened child.

He lowered his head and whispered in Liu Shiyin's ear:

"I'm here, no one will dare to bully you anymore. Don't be afraid, get some rest."

Liu Shiyin seemed to be soothed by the familiar voice and smell. She slowly opened her eyes, still looking confused and uncertain.

She didn't know if she was in reality or a dream, but Huo Muchen in front of her made her feel at ease. She hugged Huo Muchen tightly around the waist and completely immersed herself in his embrace.

She looked up at Huo Muchen and said softly:

"You are forgetting me, yet you sneak into my dreams every day like a ghost, reminding me again and again not to forget you. This is not fair."

Her voice trembled slightly with helplessness, as if she were telling a story of an emotion that was hard to let go of.

These words were like raindrops falling on a tranquil lake, creating ripples that quickly subsided.

Hearing her whisper, Huo Muchen hugged her tightly, his voice deep and affectionate.

"I haven't forgotten you, I've never forgotten every little thing we shared,"

However, Liu Shiyin seemed not to hear him. She fell into a deep sleep again, her breathing soft and even, like a falling feather gently landing on Huo Muchen's heart.

"You were just too cruel to me. We could have had the same future, but instead of being honest with each other, you chose to hide and deceive me."

"You know what? Love is a kind of purity thing. It can't tolerate even the slightest impurity. I can not ask, and I can accept everything about your past, but you can't be with me while you're with other people. Just thinking about it makes me feel disgusted and angry. Yet, every time I see you, I can't ignore you. What kind of spell have you cast on me, you woman?"

Huo Muchen gently stroked Liu Shiyin's face, as if he were accusing her, or as if he were talking to himself.

His fingers gently traced her cheek, as if trying to awaken her and let her hear her own heart.

However, Liu Shiyin remained immersed in her dream and showed no reaction.

Warm sunlight streamed through the florist's window, dappling the soft sofas, and a faint floral fragrance filled the air, perfectly complementing the shop's tranquility.

Gu Heng and Li Qingyou sat on the sofa, their conversation sounding exceptionally clear in the tranquil atmosphere.

"You mean that after Liu Shiyin left here, she has been living alone with her mother in a very small town?"

After listening to Li Qingyou's story, Gu Heng asked in surprise,

"Yes, Sister Shishi took her mother to a very remote small town. Although it was peaceful there, the living conditions were far inferior to here. She shouldered all the responsibilities alone, taking care of her mother and trying to make a living. Later, her mother passed away, and she was left with no one to rely on, so she came to this city where President Huo is."

"Hey, by the way, why did they break up? I feel like they haven't forgotten each other. Shishi, needless to say, she still deeply loves President Huo, and President Huo's gaze towards Shishi is always so tender and affectionate."

Li Qingyou rested her chin on her hands, tilted her head, and looked at Gu Heng with a pair of bright eyes, asking softly with a hint of curiosity and confusion.

Gu Heng sighed softly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

“I don’t know the specifics, I only know that they were very much in love at the time. Actually, before Ah Chen met Liu Shiyin, he had countless women around him, but after falling in love with Liu Shiyin, he became exceptionally serious and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the relationship. Later, for some reason, Liu Shiyin suddenly disappeared. At first, Ah Chen sent people to check every day, until later, Ah Chen received a stack of photos…”

Gu Heng sighed deeply as he finished speaking.
