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

Chapter 244 Why do I always meet you when I'm at my most vulnerable?

Upon hearing this, the bar owner's face turned deathly pale. He stood there, stunned, not knowing what to do.

The bar owner only came to his senses when Huo Muchen carried Liu Shiyin and disappeared at the bar entrance.

He realized that Huo Muchen's words were not unfounded. Although his bar was one of the best in H City, this powerful CEO Huo could shut it down with just one phone call.

Thinking of this, he was filled with bitterness. He could only hope that Huo Muchen was just saying this in anger and that he would let him off the hook once his anger subsided. He prayed silently in his heart.

The night was as dark as ink, the streetlights dappled, but the car was completely silent.

Sitting in the car, Liu Shiyin leaned her head against the window, staring blankly out the window. Huo Muchen would occasionally turn his head to look at her, but she never responded to him.

The car slowly came to a stop, breaking the silence. Liu Shiyin seemed to awaken from a deep sleep; she gently pushed open the car door and got out.

She didn't say a word to Huo Muchen. Her coat, which belonged to Huo Muchen, fluttered gently in the night breeze, but she seemed to have forgotten its existence. She didn't turn around, nor did she stop walking. She simply walked slowly, alone, home.

As the night deepened, Liu Shiyin appeared even more lonely under the streetlights. Her shadow stretched long and long under the streetlights, so long that it seemed to reach the depths of her heart.

Huo Muchen sat in the car, watching Liu Shiyin's figure gradually disappear into the distance. He sighed softly and then drove away.

Back home, Liu Shiyin's mind was like willow catkins tossed about by a strong wind, unable to find peace.

She dragged her heavy steps into the bedroom, barely having the strength to do anything. She gently lay down on the bed, closed her eyes tightly, and tried to rest in the quiet night, letting her chaotic thoughts rest for a while.

However, when she closed her eyes, a chilling figure emerged in the darkness—Chen Xiaoliang's ferocious face.

That face haunted her mind, every detail so vivid: the distorted features, the malevolent eyes, and the desperate roar. These images were like a nightmare, from which she could not escape.

Liu Shiyin's heart began to pound wildly. She tried to suppress her fear and calm herself down with deep breaths.

But Chen Xiaoliang's figure was like a ghost, following her everywhere, leaving her nowhere to escape. She felt an unprecedented helplessness and despair, as if the whole world was against her.

She reached out and hugged her knees tightly, burying her head between them, trying to alleviate the pain and fear in her heart. But Chen Xiaoliang's face still appeared in the darkness, as if it had become a shadow she could never escape.

At this moment, Liu Shiyin felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness and helplessness.

The coat she was wearing had a faint, pleasant fragrance—Huo Muchen's scent. Liu Shiyin then realized she had forgotten to return the coat to him. She gently stroked the fabric, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her.

Why do I always meet you when I'm at my most vulnerable?

She had just been released from prison.

She was beaten and covered in bruises by Qin Xiang.

She was framed for taking indecent photos.

She was almost defiled by Chen Xiaoliang,

Thinking of this, Liu Shiyin gave a bitter smile.

She covered herself with Huo Muchen's coat and hugged Huo Muchen's pillow tightly in her arms.

As if by doing this, she could feel his warmth and comfort. She closed her eyes, trying to use this method to allow herself to sleep peacefully for a while.
