Chapter 266 I want to get married. I want to marry her.
Chen Xiaoliang was Chen Hu's beloved son, born late in life. No matter how big a mistake he made, Chen Hu always spoiled him and never criticized him in the slightest.
However, today, this slap was like a bolt from the blue, instantly igniting all the grievances and anger in his heart.
His eyes widened, flashing with anger and confusion, and his finger trembled as he pointed at Huo Muchen:
"Intended to assault? There was no assault, was there? I did hit that woman, but look how badly he hit me, isn't that enough? He's just taking advantage of his power to act as an accomplice to evil, doing whatever he wants!"
Chen Xiaoliang's eyes were filled with hatred for Huo Muchen, a hatred that ran deep in his bones and could not be described in words.
Huo Muchen looked at Chen Xiaoliang expressionlessly, his eyes revealing a hint of contempt and disdain. In his eyes, Chen Xiaoliang's anger and resentment were nothing more than an insignificant farce.
He slightly raised his chin and spoke to Gu Heng beside him in his uniquely indifferent tone:
"Gu Heng, see the guest out."
Gu Heng stepped forward in response, his attitude equally cold and professional. He gestured for Chen Hu and his son to leave.
Chen Xiaoliang's face stiffened. He stared wide-eyed at Huo Muchen, his eyes filled with hatred and malice.
Huo Muchen stared silently into Chen Xiaoliang's eyes, then spoke again, his voice devoid of any emotion, enunciating each word clearly:
"The Chen family's overseas acquisitions will continue without fail."
He then added, "Furthermore, no one from the Chen family is allowed to enter the Huo family compound from now on."
These words were like a final judgment, plunging Chen Xiaoliang into the abyss of despair.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaoliang's expression finally changed. He realized that he might have brought irreparable consequences to the Chen family.
He stole a glance at his father and saw that Chen Hu's face had turned deathly pale, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness, as if he could already see the bleak future of the Chen family.
After seeing off the Chen father and son, Gu Heng quickly went to Huo Muchen's office.
Gu Heng walked to Huo Muchen's side, coughed lightly, and spoke with a hint of concern:
"How is it? Have you made up with Liu Shiyin yet?"
Huo Muchen turned his head slightly, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes, but it quickly returned to calm as he said softly:
"They've made up,"
Gu Heng nodded, about to say something, when he saw Huo Muchen take an exquisite box out of his pocket.
Curious, he leaned closer and saw Huo Muchen gently open the box, revealing an enormous diamond ring that sparkled brilliantly under the light.
Gu Heng looked at Huo Muchen in surprise; he had never seen Huo Muchen so serious before. He couldn't help but ask:
"Is this... your intention to propose to Liu Shiyin?"
Huo Muchen nodded.
"Yes, I want to get married. I want to marry her."
Gu Heng was shocked by Huo Muchen's words. He never imagined that this calm and composed president would be so impulsive and resolute in matters of the heart.
He stood there stunned for a while before he came to his senses. Looking at Huo Muchen, who had a serious expression on his face, he asked curiously:
"When...when are you planning to propose?"
A hint of tenderness and helplessness flashed in Huo Muchen's eyes. He sighed softly and replied:
"The original plan was for this morning, but Shion... she doesn't seem to have fully recovered from the shadows of the past, and I'm afraid of scaring her."
Huo Muchen put away the ring and continued:
"Let's wait a little longer. Once she's completely let go of her worries, I'll find a more suitable time to give her an unforgettable proposal."
At this point, Huo Muchen's mind was filled with the image of Liu Shiyin again. He stood up and walked towards the door, leaving Gu Heng alone in the office, lost in thought.
