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

Chapter 281 With me here, there's no need for worry or anxiety.

Liu Shiyin trembled slightly in his arms. She opened her eyes and looked into Huo Muchen's deep eyes, a hint of confusion and curiosity flashing in them.

She had never thought about this question before, because she knew how difficult it was to find an unknown person in this vast sea of ​​people. But at this moment, under Huo Muchen's questioning, she actually felt an urge to learn about the past and her own background.

Huo Muchen looked at her, his eyes filled with tenderness and determination. He knew this was a sensitive and important topic, but he also believed that he could give her a satisfactory answer.

He gently stroked her hair and continued:

“I know you may never have thought about this, but I think you have the right to know about your background.”

Liu Shiyin listened to his words with mixed feelings. She didn't know whether she should be surprised, sad, or grateful.

The man she shared blood with, whom she called her father, was both longed for and a stranger to her, like a distant and vague dream.

Liu Shiyin's voice carried a hint of anticipation, yet also an undeniable tremor:

"You...found him?"

Huo Muchen nodded slightly. A few days ago, he had already done a DNA comparison using Xu Zhiyuan's water cup and Liu Shiyin's hair, and the results proved that Xu Zhiyuan was indeed Liu Shiyin's biological father.

But he knew that this news was too sudden for Liu Shiyin, and she needed enough time to digest and accept it.

Liu Shiyin suddenly felt cold in her hands and feet; she seemed to find it hard to accept this fact.

She gripped Huo Muchen's arm tightly, her eyes filled with confusion and unease, as if she were standing at a crossroads, unsure which way to go.

"I'm a little scared, can you give me a little time?"

"It's okay, baby. You can see him whenever you want. Don't force yourself. I'm here for you. Don't worry or feel uneasy."

Huo Muchen gently held her hand, comforting her.

Liu Shiyin hugged Huo Muchen tightly and nodded.

As night deepened, the moonlight bathed the entire room like water. Liu Shiyin lay in Huo Muchen's arms and gradually drifted off to sleep.

"Hey baby, wake up,"

Huo Muchen kissed Liu Shiyin's earlobe and whispered in her ear.

Liu Shiyin slowly opened her eyes, looking at Huo Muchen who was so close to her, seemingly not fully awake yet.

"I'll take you to get something to eat, then we can go back to sleep, okay?"

"Okay, what time is it now?"

Liu Shiyin rubbed her eyes and spoke softly.

"It's past ten o'clock,"

Huo Muchen picked up Liu Shiyin and sat her on the edge of the bed, saying as he put on her shoes.

"Mu Chen, how much longer are you going to stay here? Should I go back tomorrow?"

After dinner, the two walked side by side on the cobblestone path. A cool evening breeze gently blew, ruffling Liu Shiyin's hair. She lightly smoothed her hair, then suddenly stopped, looking at Huo Muchen with concern and inquiry in her eyes.

"We'll go back together the day after tomorrow afternoon. I'm worried about leaving you alone."

Upon hearing this, Huo Muchen stopped and turned around, gazing gently at Liu Shiyin.

Liu Shiyin nodded after hearing this, but her gaze was inadvertently drawn to a scene by the roadside.

A middle-aged man was seen carrying a heavy shopping bag in one hand and holding a little girl tightly in the other.

The little girl's face was beaming with an innocent smile, while the middle-aged man's eyes revealed a deep fatherly love.
