Chapter 130: Let's compete fairly.
The word "love" seems to be absent from his dictionary.
His feelings for women were like those for a business transaction—cold and rational. He would never give his heart to a woman, nor would he linger for them for even a moment.
In his heart, only career and success are the most important things. Women are just passersby on his road to success and are not worth his emotional investment.
His world was filled with the scent of power and money, and the existence of women was merely a scene on his road to success, unrelated to romance or emotion.
But looking at Huo Muchen now, he seems to have changed. Perhaps he has truly understood what love is, and he also believes that Huo Muchen will definitely be able to bring happiness to Liu Shiyin.
"Stop standing there like an idiot, get to work! We have so much work waiting for us to do."
As Huo Muchen spoke, he casually tossed a delicate gold pen to Gu Heng. Gu Heng reacted quickly, catching it steadily with a smug smile on his face.
"Hehe, I didn't manage to smash it, so this gold pen is mine."
He joked, then quickly grabbed the gold pen and made his escape.
Huo Muchen watched Gu Heng's carefree figure disappear into the distance, a smile playing on his lips.
He shook his head and then buried himself in his busy work. At that moment, all he wanted was to finish his tasks as quickly as possible so he could go home and see Liu Shiyin. So he quickened his pace and focused intently on his work.
"Mu Chen, are you there?"
Liu Shiyin woke up from her dream, her hazy eyes gradually focusing on her surroundings. She found herself in Huo Muchen's room, a familiar and reassuring atmosphere washing over her.
She turned to look out the window and saw that the lights were on outside. She couldn't help but wonder if Huo Muchen was still busy outside. Suddenly, she heard the door open. Liu Shiyin thought it was Huo Muchen, but to her surprise, it was Lin Xiangyao who came in.
When Lin Xiangyao stepped into the room, her expression was cold and distant. Her gaze fell on Liu Shiyin, who had just woken up, but she did not utter a word. She simply stared at her coldly with her deep eyes.
Liu Shiyin was somewhat at a loss due to the sudden cold atmosphere. She frowned slightly, and a complex emotion welled up in her heart.
She knew all too well that Lin Xiangyao's feelings for Huo Muchen were like a sharp sword hanging over her emotional entanglement with Huo Muchen.
At this moment, faced with Lin Xiangyao's indifference, Liu Shiyin felt at a loss.
Lin Xiangyao looked at Liu Shiyin's silence and felt a strange sense of irritation welling up inside her. She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm and composed:
"Liu Shiyin, what exactly is your relationship with President Huo? Didn't you say before that there was nothing between you? Why is he so concerned about you?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shiyin felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She knew she couldn't escape this question, nor could she hide the truth. So she gently bit her lip and mustered her courage to say:
"Xiang Yao, about my relationship with Huo Muchen..."
What is it? Everyone knows Qin Xiang is Huo Muchen's girlfriend, and she just left, yet she claims to be Huo Muchen's girlfriend? Isn't that going too far? Liu Shiyin didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Lin Xiangyao gave Liu Shiyin a deep look and said:
"Everyone knows that President Huo and Qin Xiang just broke up, and he's single now, so let's compete fairly."
After Lin Xiangyao finished speaking, she turned and left the room.
Her figure gradually faded from Liu Shiyin's sight until it disappeared, leaving Liu Shiyin sitting alone on the bed, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
