Chapter 144 Brother Mu Chen, I like you.
Huo Muchen was someone she had admired since childhood and secretly loved. She gazed at his radiant figure in the crowd, her eyes gleaming with intense passion.
His face was handsome, and his eyes were deep, as if they contained endless stories and charm.
Xu Xiaofan's heart raced instantly, and she felt her cheeks warming slightly, as if a warm current was flowing through her heart.
Her heart was pounding wildly in her chest, as if it were about to burst out of her body. She walked towards Huo Muchen without hesitation, each step firm and powerful.
When she walked up to Huo Muchen, she took a deep breath and mustered her courage to reveal the secret she had kept hidden in her heart:
"Brother Mu Chen, I'd like to have a chat with you."
Those nearby, seeing that it was Xu Zhiyuan's daughter, immediately and tactfully stepped aside, giving the two enough space.
Huo Muchen raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised by Xu Xiaofan's sudden appearance, but he did not show any displeasure. Instead, he turned and walked to a relatively quiet corner.
"What do you want to talk about?"
Huo Muchen looked at the people coming and going at the banquet and asked a question. His voice was calm and deep, as if it had a kind of magic, making Xu Xiaofan's heart beat even faster.
"Brother Mu Chen, I like you. I've liked you since we were little. I know you broke up with Sister Qin Xiang, so I wanted to tell you how I feel."
After speaking, Xu Xiaofan nervously watched Huo Muchen's expression. She hoped he could understand her feelings and hoped to see a hint of response in his eyes.
However, Huo Muchen's expression remained calm, as if he was not moved by her confession.
Xu Xiaofan's heart began to sink. She didn't know if she had said something wrong, or if she hadn't done enough. But she didn't give up. Instead, she mustered her courage and gazed into Huo Muchen's eyes, waiting for his response.
At that moment, time seemed to slow down dramatically.
Xu Xiaofan's heart pounded in her chest. She awaited Huo Muchen's answer, yet she was also somewhat afraid of it.
Huo Muchen slowly raised his head, his deep gaze falling on Xu Xiaofan's face. For a fleeting moment, he seemed to see the shadow of Liu Shiyin in her brows, which surprised him somewhat.
Xu Xiaofan felt Huo Muchen's gaze, and her heart tightened. She didn't know what Huo Muchen was thinking, so she tried her best to remain calm and not let her nervousness show.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment. Xu Xiaofan's heartbeat echoed in her ears, and she could almost hear her own breathing.
Finally, Huo Muchen spoke, his voice still cold and ruthless.
"Qin Xiang and I have broken up, but I have a girlfriend now, and I really like her. So don't waste your feelings and time on me."
After saying that, Huo Muchen turned and left, leaving Xu Xiaofan alone on the spot.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaofan felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and stood frozen in place. She had originally thought that by mustering up the courage to confess her feelings, she would at least receive a serious response from Huo Muchen, and even if the answer was negative, she would be able to accept it.
But Huo Muchen didn't even give her that chance, telling her directly that his heart already belonged to someone else.
Seeing his daughter's heartbroken expression, Xu Zhiyuan felt a pang of pain in his heart. He quickly stepped forward and gently patted Xu Xiaofan's shoulder.
Xu Xiaofan looked up at Xu Zhiyuan, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes:
"Dad, Brother Mu Chen said he has a girlfriend. You just said he has a girlfriend too, who is she? How do you know? It's not really that slut who went to jail, is it?"
