Chapter 161 Tell me, has something happened?
"Baby, why are you here?"
Upon arriving at the office, Huo Muchen turned to Liu Shiyin beside him and asked,
Liu Shiyin did not answer, but stepped forward and hugged Huo Muchen. She buried her head deeply in Huo Muchen's arms, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat, and feeling his warm and firm embrace.
At that moment, she seemed to forget all her troubles and worries, and only wanted to immerse herself in this warmth and peace forever.
She just wanted to stay quietly by Huo Muchen's side, as if being near him would give her a sense of inexplicable peace of mind.
Huo Muchen's embrace was like a sturdy castle, shielding her from all the storms and tempests that raged outside.
Huo Muchen looked down at Liu Shiyin in his arms, his eyes filled with deep affection and tenderness. He gently stroked her hair and asked softly:
"What's wrong, baby? You seem a little different than usual. Are you feeling unwell?"
His voice was full of concern and worry.
Liu Shiyin nestled quietly in Huo Muchen's arms, not answering immediately. She gently shook her head, as if trying to shake away the chaotic emotions in her heart.
Huo Muchen did not press the matter further, understanding that sometimes words cannot fully express one's inner feelings.
He assumed it was just a woman in love being clingy and affectionate, and gently stroked Liu Shiyin's back with his large hand.
Huo Muchen's phone rang abruptly, breaking the previously tranquil atmosphere.
Liu Shiyin's heart skipped a beat, and she began to tremble uncontrollably, as if the ringing of the phone was some kind of ominous premonition. She was afraid it was a call from that strange man, which left her nowhere to hide.
She felt like prey being watched closely by a hunter, with nowhere to escape, trembling in the endless darkness.
She wanted to scream, to escape this suffocating place, but her body felt as if it were tightly bound by invisible chains, unable to move.
Her heart was filled with despair and helplessness, as if she were trapped in an inescapable nightmare, and could only let fear and anxiety erode her soul.
Huo Muchen keenly sensed Liu Shiyin's unusual behavior. He decisively hung up the phone, gently placed his hands on her shoulders, and made her look him in the eye.
His voice carried a hint of seriousness and concern:
"What happened? Tell me, did something happen? I've told you, I don't like it when you lie to me."
Liu Shiyin's heart sank. Looking at Huo Muchen's serious face, she felt even more uneasy.
She didn't want to make him angry, and even more so, she didn't want him to worry, so she tried to calm herself down and said softly:
"It's okay, I just want to stay by your side. Don't you like me being so clingy? Can I go home now? Don't be angry."
Huo Muchen looked at her deeply. He didn't say anything, but silently took her hand and gently pulled her back into his arms.
For several days in a row, Liu Shiyin followed Huo Muchen like a shadow, wherever he went, her figure was always with him.
However, Huo Muchen did not show any dissatisfaction or annoyance. On the contrary, his eyes were always full of patience and tenderness, as if he felt a special kind of comfort in Liu Shiyin's dependence.
To onlookers, this scene had become a unique spectacle. They discussed Huo Muchen's special treatment of Liu Shiyin, their eyes revealing envy and jealousy.
Liu Shiyin also deeply felt Huo Muchen's different attitude towards her. Every little gesture and every gentle word from him filled her heart with sweetness and satisfaction.
She understood that Huo Muchen's gentleness and patience weren't easily given; behind them lay his deep affection and care for her. She felt both happy and guilty.
