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

Chapter 251 Deep within his heart, only Liu Shiyin's shadow lingered.

"I heard from Xiaoyou that Liu Shiyin's illness has been cured and she can now work normally,"

Gu Heng went to Huo Muchen's office to report on the Chen Group acquisition case, and also relayed the information Li Qingyou had given him to Huo Muchen.

"Okay, I understand,"

Huo Muchen raised an eyebrow slightly, his fingers paused briefly on the keyboard, and then he continued typing.

“Ah Chen, I heard from Li Qingyou that after Liu Shiyin left here, she lived alone with her mother in a very remote small town for three years. After her mother passed away, she returned here. She was alone for those three years. I think... I don't think she has another man.”

Upon hearing Gu Heng's words, Huo Muchen stopped what he was doing, looked up at Gu Heng, and his eyes became serious and deep.

"What about the photos? You and I both know the photos are real. Who is the man in the photos?"

As intelligent as Huo Muchen was, he saw his own pillow in Liu Shiyin's room yesterday, as well as the necklace that Liu Shiyin always wore. These things made him realize how deep Liu Shiyin's feelings for him were. However, the photo was like a mystery, and he could not figure out the truth behind it.

Gu Heng was caught off guard by Huo Muchen's question. After a moment's thought, he replied:

"I think you should talk to Liu Shiyin more often. Only if she knows the whole story can we start investigating. I heard from Xiaoyou that Liu Shiyin is very sensitive now. She gets scared if a male customer comes into the store and looks at her twice. She doesn't have many friends or relatives. Although she is close to Xiaoyou, she always keeps her heart closed off. Maybe she only trusts you now."

Huo Muchen fell into deep thought upon hearing Gu Heng's words, then nodded slightly.

"I understand, you can go out now."

After Gu Heng left, Huo Muchen fell into deep thought again.

He is not the kind of traditional and conservative man. His thoughts and education are open and free. He respects and understands everyone's views on love and choices, but he just cannot accept Liu Shiyin's deception.

He had once told Liu Shiyin earnestly that he hated deception and lies. But Liu Shiyin dealt him a fatal blow; the existence of that photograph made him begin to doubt everything between them.

Even under such emotional circumstances, Huo Muchen could not deny his feelings for Liu Shiyin. He knew clearly that deep in his heart, only Liu Shiyin's shadow lingered, impossible to erase.

Huo Muchen's thoughts were in turmoil as he tried to sort out his complex feelings for Liu Shiyin.

On the one hand, he felt deceived and betrayed; the feeling of broken trust broke his heart.

On the other hand, he could not let go of his love for Liu Shiyin. Her smile, her gentleness, everything about her was deeply engraved in his heart.

He knew that letting go of this relationship wouldn't be easy, but he also understood that if he continued to dwell on the past deceptions, their relationship would be beyond repair. What he needed was to calmly face the problem and find a solution.

Huo Muchen decided to give Liu Shiyin a chance, and also to give himself a chance.

Just as Huo Muchen was lost in his thoughts, the phone rang, breaking the silence. He pressed the answer button, and his secretary's voice came through the line:

"Mr. Huo, Miss Sang Yu is looking for you."

Huo Muchen paused for a moment, then spoke:

"Let her in."
