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

Chapter 223 I just... just wanted to get closer to you.

Sang Yu felt a deep sense of desolation as she listened to Gu Heng's words.

Huo Muchen never gave her any clear commitment about their relationship, which made her feel like she was just a vague shadow in the relationship, unable to determine her place.

She recalled every moment she spent with Huo Muchen. Every time they met, she felt happy, but every time they parted, she felt a deep sense of loss.

She longed for more care and affection from Huo Muchen, but he always seemed to maintain an aloof attitude, leaving her unable to figure him out.

In Gu Heng's words, Sang Yu seemed to see her own reflection: a pitiful person waiting for a promise of love. Huo Muchen's feelings for her were not as she wished, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not win his heart.

Her mood instantly plummeted, as if shrouded in a thick gloom. She sat quietly in a corner of the sofa, her eyes filled with sorrow and despair.

Gu Heng continued drinking his wine, seemingly oblivious to Sang Yu's change in mood.

Huo Muchen entered the private room and immediately sensed the oppressive atmosphere inside. His gaze fell upon Sang Yu's forlorn figure.

He sat down next to Sang Yu, only to find that she didn't immediately cling to him as before, but instead looked at him with a pair of mournful eyes.

"what happened?"

Huo Muchen looked at Sang Yu with a half-smile.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired, I want to go back and rest."

Sang Yu shook her head, her eyes slightly red, and said softly,

"Then I'll take you back."

As he spoke, Huo Muchen stood up. Seeing this, Sang Yu quickly grabbed her bag and followed in his footsteps.

"I'm leaving, are you coming too?"

Huo Muchen turned to look at Gu Heng, who was still drinking by himself.

Gu Heng raised his head, his eyes somewhat unfocused. He waved his hand but didn't speak. Huo Muchen frowned slightly upon seeing this, but he didn't press the matter further and turned to walk towards the door.

Upon arriving at the bar entrance, Huo Muchen stopped and turned to Gu Heng's driver, Yang Sheng, saying:

"Wait until we get to 606 to pick up President Gu."

His voice carried an undeniable authority, making Yang Sheng dare not be negligent in the slightest.

"Okay, Mr. Huo."

Yang Sheng respectfully agreed, watching Huo Muchen and Sang Yu's figures disappear into the distance.

Sitting in the car, Huo Muchen leaned back in the soft seat, his eyes slightly closed, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.

His face appeared exceptionally gentle in the dim light inside the car, a stark contrast to his usual aloof demeanor.

Huo Muchen usually presents himself with a cold and aloof demeanor. His eyes are deep and indifferent, as if he keeps everyone at arm's length. His aura is powerful and imposing, making people want to get close but also feel awe and dare not easily overstep their bounds.

Perhaps this is the charm of Huo Muchen—he can inspire both awe and longing.

Sitting in the car, Sang Yu looked at Huo Muchen, but unconsciously thought of what Gu Heng had said.

Huo Muchen's profile looked exceptionally handsome in the dimly lit car, his usually cold and stern features softening slightly. His eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he could feel her gaze.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Huo Muchen did not open his eyes, but his voice rang out softly, though it was not loud and devoid of any emotion.

Sang Yu felt a lump in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes. She involuntarily leaned against Huo Muchen and buried her head in his chest.

Her small hands clung tightly to his neck, her voice choked with sobs:

"I...I just...just wanted to get closer to you."
