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

Chapter 257 I couldn't sleep at night, and I cried every night.

“I couldn’t sleep all night. I cried every night. I would break down while crying. I tried to control my emotions, but the pain felt like it was going to tear me apart at any moment. Sometimes, I really felt like I couldn’t take it anymore.”

"Just when I was about to give up on myself, I discovered this shop and renovated it to open this flower shop. It gave me a new beginning and helped me rediscover the meaning of life."

"And your appearance is even more meaningful to me, you know? Xiaoyou, you are like the morning sun, warm and bright, dispelling the gloom and coldness in my heart. If it weren't for you, I might really have chosen to give up and fall into the boundless darkness with the evening sunset."

After hearing Liu Shiyin's account, Li Qingyou was deeply shocked. She hugged Liu Shiyin tightly, letting tears stream down her face, and choked out:

"Sister Shishi, you are so pitiful. I have known you for so long, but this is the first time I have heard you say so much and the first time I have heard your story. I always thought you were lonely and sad, but I never expected you to have gone through so much suffering."

"Sister Shishi, I will always be by your side from now on, and I will never let anyone bully you."

Upon hearing Li Qingyou's words, Liu Shiyin felt a surge of warmth in her heart. The two embraced and wept, their tears mingling, which only strengthened their bond.

Looking at the phone that had just ended, Huo Muchen frowned. Liu Shiyin's words were like sharp needles, piercing his heart again and again, leaving him no way to escape or find peace.

Liu Shiyin's words kept replaying in his mind—those about her past experiences, the pain and hardship she endured alone.

He could almost see the tears in her eyes and feel the helplessness and despair in her heart. The past misunderstandings and accusations were like heavy shackles, binding Liu Shiyin and also tugging at Huo Muchen's heart.

He didn't have the time or energy to investigate whether the photos she mentioned were true or false. In his view, the authenticity of those photos had become unimportant. It was because of these photos that Liu Shiyin had gone through so much pain and struggle.

Huo Muchen simply couldn't imagine how Liu Shiyin, such a weak and timid woman, had endured those heartbreaking nights and difficult times alone. Just thinking about it made his heart ache.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Heng felt somewhat saddened by Liu Shiyin's experience. He quietly observed Huo Muchen's reaction, feeling that this phone call might change everything.

Suddenly, Huo Muchen stood up and walked towards the wardrobe. His movements were swift and firm, indicating that he had already made a decision.

Upon seeing this, Gu Heng immediately understood that Huo Muchen was changing his clothes and preparing to go out. He knew without a doubt that Huo Muchen was going to find Liu Shiyin.

Gu Heng knew that Huo Muchen was very anxious at the moment, and he didn't want to waste any more time, so he quickly got up and ran away, driving to Liu Shiyin's building.

After parking his car, he immediately sent a message to Li Qingyou:

"I'm downstairs, come down quickly, Ah Chen should be here soon."

After sending the message, Gu Heng sat in his car patiently waiting for Li Qingyou's reply. A moment later, his phone vibrated, and he quickly checked the message:

"Okay, right away."

Upon receiving the message, Gu Heng immediately got out of the car to pick up Li Qingyou.

"Sister Shishi, I suddenly have something urgent to attend to, so I can't eat the cake with you."

Li Qingyou looked at Liu Shiyin, who had come out of the kitchen washing fruit, and said apologetically,

"It's nothing, it's nothing. You should go back quickly. What happened? Are you alright? Do you want me to go with you?"

Liu Shiyin put down the fruit in her hand and said with concern,

"No, no, happy birthday, Sister Shishi, I'll be going now."

As Li Qingyou spoke, she quickly ran towards the door and gently closed it for Liu Shiyin.
