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

Chapter 270 I already have a marriage partner.

"No, Mu Chen, it's because Wang Qing made me sign a contract that told me never to appear in H City again and never to see you. She said if I broke the contract, she would send you the photos. I believed her, and I agreed so you wouldn't see the photos,"

Seeing Huo Muchen's somewhat dejected expression, Liu Shiyin quickly explained while crying,

"Fool, why did you sign that kind of contract? The terms of that contract are illegal. But it's okay, I'll handle it. If you encounter any trouble in the future, tell me immediately, okay?"

Huo Muchen gently wiped away Liu Shiyin's tears with a gentle voice.

"Thank you, Mu Chen,"

Liu Shiyin nodded, then looked up and kissed Huo Muchen's lips.

Her kiss was like a spring breeze, gentle yet passionate. Huo Muchen was slightly taken aback, then closed his eyes, savoring this unexpected sweetness...

"You...you actually suspect that Liu Shiyin is Xu Zhiyuan's daughter?"

Gu Heng's voice trembled, and his eyes widened like copper bells, as if he could not believe this sudden speculation.

Huo Muchen gently twirled the pen in his hand, as if he too was pondering this astonishing conjecture.

"Don't you think... there's some inexplicable similarity between Xu Xiaofan and Shiyin?"

Huo Muchen looked at Gu Heng and said seriously.

Gu Heng frowned, Xu Xiaofan's image flashing through his mind.

He remembered that when Liu Shiyin had just left, Xu Xiaofan often imitated Liu Shiyin's style of dress and appeared by Huo Muchen's side. At that time, Xu Xiaofan's eyebrows and eyes revealed a charm that was hard to distinguish from Liu Shiyin's.

Gu Heng took a deep breath, trying to calm his shock. He knew what kind of waves this speculation would cause if it came true, but he also understood that Huo Muchen would not make such a claim without reason; he must have his own basis.

The two remained silent. A gentle breeze blew through the window, bringing a slight chill, but it couldn't dispel the doubts and unease in their hearts.

"Contact Xu Zhiyuan and have him come to see me,"

Huo Muchen looked up at Gu Heng and said...

"Okay, I'll go arrange it now,"

"Xu Zhiyuan is not in the country right now, but he has arranged for a private jet to return. I have made a reservation at a restaurant for 8 pm."

A moment later, Gu Heng walked into the office with his phone and said,

"OK,"

Huo Muchen thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Huo, is there something urgent that you requested to meet with me so hastily today?"

Xu Zhiyuan sat opposite Huo Muchen and asked with a kind smile.

Huo Muchen took a sip of the red wine in his glass, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, and smiled:

"Oh, it's nothing really. I just wanted to ask Uncle to tell Aunt that I already have someone to marry, so please stop bothering my parents to try and match me with Xiaofan. We're not a good match, and please don't let me ruin Xiaofan's chances of finding a good partner."

Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in Xu Zhiyuan's eyes. He nodded slightly, his voice carrying the tolerance and understanding unique to elders:

"Xiao Fan is like her mother in personality; she's a bit stubborn. Don't worry, I'll have a good talk with her."

He paused, then added:

"Marriage is a matter between two people, requiring mutual consent and understanding. Since you've already made your choice, I will respect your decision. However, I'm quite curious, which family's daughter is so lucky to have won your favor?"

"She's not some rich girl; she's just an ordinary girl from a single-parent family who has always lived with her mother. The one you've met is named Liu Shiyin; she takes her mother's surname, and her mother's name is Liu Qin."

As Huo Muchen spoke, his gaze remained fixed on Xu Zhiyuan's face, observing the changes in his expression.
