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

Chapter 210 Don't worry, she's not my type.

Upon hearing Gu Heng's warning, Huo Muchen retorted with a serious expression:

"When have I ever tried to take it from you?"

Gu Heng looked at Huo Muchen's smug expression and, although he was furious, he knew that Huo Muchen was telling the truth.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his tone:

"This time is different,"

Gu Heng said in a low voice.

"She's my friend, and she has a heart condition and needs care. Be gentle, don't always scare her with that icy face, and don't try to be charming."

Huo Muchen looked at Gu Heng's nervous expression, a playful smile curling at the corner of his lips:

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your woman."

Although his words were cold, there was a hint of mockery in his tone.

Hearing Huo Muchen's words, Gu Heng felt slightly relieved. However, he still decided to continue keeping an eye on Huo Muchen, knowing that although Huo Muchen appeared cold, his behavior could sometimes be unpredictable.

Huo Muchen seemed to sense Gu Heng's worry. He chuckled and said:

"Don't worry, I'm not Chen Shu."

When Huo Muchen mentioned Chen Shu, Gu Heng nodded. He knew that Chen Shu was known in their circle for playing with emotions, while Huo Muchen was completely different from him.

Gu Heng nodded and said nothing more. He knew that although Huo Muchen appeared cold on the outside, he actually had a soft side and was not the kind of person who would mess around with women.

So the two returned to their seats, and Gu Heng smiled as he introduced them to Li Qingyou:

"Qingyou, this is my good friend, as well as my boss and business partner, Huo Muchen."

Upon hearing this introduction, Li Qingyou was somewhat surprised. She looked up at Huo Muchen and saw him sitting to the side, his gaze calm yet polite.

She stood up and politely extended her hand:

"Hello, Mr. Huo, my name is Li Qingyou."

Huo Muchen nodded slightly, a barely perceptible smile appearing on his face. He extended his hand and gently shook hands with Li Qingyou, his voice calm and gentle:

"Hello."

When they shook hands, Li Qingyou felt that although Huo Muchen's palm was a little cold, the pressure was just right and not too stiff, which eased her tension a little.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Gu Heng smiled and turned to Li Qingyou, asking seemingly casually:

"You just said your boss is very good to you, so what kind of person is she? Is she a woman or a man?"

His words carried a hint of curiosity and inquiry.

Huo Muchen sat to the side, and upon hearing the question, his eyes flickered slightly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his lips.

He understood that Gu Heng was using the guise of concern to investigate whether Li Qingyou's boss was male or female. Huo Muchen didn't interrupt directly, but his eyes revealed a look of anticipation.

Li Qingyou didn't notice Huo Muchen's subtle change. After thinking carefully for a moment, she replied:

"She's a girl, a few months older than me, 25 years old this year. She's really a very special person, very gentle, very beautiful, with a soft and kind personality, like a calm lake, undisturbed. But do you know? There always seems to be countless sorrows in her eyes."

Gu Heng listened intently, and asked softly:

"What is her work like usually? Is it very tiring?"

Li Qingyou nodded and continued:

“She knew I wasn’t in good health, so she never let me do heavy work. She did most of the work in the shop herself; she was really capable. But she always said that she couldn’t stop working because if she stopped, she would think about a lot of things. I’ve seen her secretly crying while holding her phone several times, and I know she must have a lot of unspeakable suffering in her heart.”

When Li Qingyou mentioned her boss, Liu Shiyin, her eyes sparkled with admiration and tenderness.

After hearing this, Gu Heng couldn't help but feel more curious and sympathetic towards the female boss that Li Qingyou had mentioned.

"From what you've said, I think she's a very strong and independent woman. But she probably needs someone to care for her and be with her. Maybe you could spend more time with her and let her feel some warmth and comfort."

Li Qingyou nodded in agreement, and said:

"That's what I think too. She's been so good to me, so naturally I want to do something for her. But I don't know how to bring it up, or what to do."
