How many loves can be relived in the story of a devoted CEO pursuing his wife?

Country J, Osaka City.

After a business dinner, everyone left slightly tipsy.

When Liu Sisi left the private room, her steps were a little unsteady, as if she was feeling the effects of the alcohol.

Lin Xuedong, who was standing next to her, then reached out and gently supported her slender waist. "Are you alright?"

The woman looked up, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Her curved eyebrows resembled a new moon, and her slightly flushed cheeks were like a delicate little flower.

He was captivated by what he saw.

Liu Sisi, however, was oblivious and replied somewhat drunkenly, "President Lin, I'm fine."

"I'm going back to China tomorrow, can you come out for a walk with me tonight?"

Liu Sisi had no objections, thinking that she had been completely absorbed in the business negotiations with Yoshimoto for several days and her brain was almost overwhelmed.

I thought it would be a good opportunity to go out for a stroll, and also to sober up and clear my head, so I nodded slightly.

After nine o'clock, neon lights shone brightly on both sides of the small canal near the hotel.

The various izakayas and small shops were bustling with customers.

Many office workers in Japan often like to get together after get off work to complain to each other and enjoy a drink.

Lin Xuedong accompanied Liu Sisi for a walk along the corridor beside the river.

Along the way, we chatted casually: "Sisi, we've known each other for almost eight years now, haven't we?"

His hands were in his trouser pockets, giving him a seemingly carefree and unrestrained air.

But his dark, deep eyes seemed to be drawn to him by a magnet, constantly glued to Liu Sisi beside him.

"Yes, it was from freshman year, I think. I remember going to Lanlan's birthday party." Liu Sisi smiled faintly, with a hint of leisurely reminiscence.

She hadn't forgotten that her best friend had always secretly loved him, her nominal brother.

For many years, Lin Lan dared not advance nor retreat, always remaining within the constraints of worldly taboos.

Her adoptive parents treated her well and raised her in comfort.

He would also thread a needle for her from time to time.

Unfortunately, he had someone else in his heart, and his affections remained unmoved.

I'm almost 27 and still single.

“Yes, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye.” Lin Xuedong nodded slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, his tone carrying a hint of brotherly helplessness: “You know, Lanlan has caused my mother so much worry. Over the years, she’s introduced her to countless promising young men, but every time, she’s always so indifferent, not interested at all.”

As he spoke, his hands unconsciously clenched in his pockets.

Clearing his throat, he looked at Liu Sisi and, with a hint of curiosity, started a conversation, "Sisi, what kind of boys do you girls usually like?"

What kind of guy do I like?

Isn't that you?

Liu Sisi blinked. She wasn't one to meddle in other people's business, especially when it came to matters of the heart; she was rather slow and clumsy in that regard.

Just thinking about Lin Lan's emotional forbearance over the years makes me feel sorry for her.

She stopped, looked up at Lin Xuedong, and her gaze held a hint of barely perceptible inquiry. "Mr. Lin, what do you think of Lanlan?"

"..." Lin Xuedong glanced at her, somewhat puzzled but also pursed his thin lips and replied: "Her, don't be fooled by her usual carefree attitude, she's actually quite fragile and shy inside. Maybe she's been too well protected by the Lin family and spoiled. Over the years, I haven't seen her seriously date anyone."

In fact, he has been living alone for many years.

My interactions with Lin Lan were mainly through company gatherings and various family events.

Unable to speak directly, Liu Sisi asked cryptically, "So, Mr. Lin, what about you? I heard you've been going on several blind dates lately. Is there good news coming soon?"

For the past six months, Lin Xuedong has been pressured by his parents to get married, and blind dates are also arranged under this pretext, which drives Lin Lan crazy.

Lin Xuedong's eyes narrowed, and his gaze towards the woman deepened.

The streak of light that flashed by was like a fleeting firework.

"I have someone I've always liked."

"..."

Liu Sisi was taken aback, her eyes flickering slightly.

It turned out to be the case.

Suddenly I don't know what to say.

She lowered her brows, looking a little embarrassed, and said, "Oh."

Lin Xuedong glanced at the girl's expression and cautiously called her name in a low voice: "Sisi..."

Liu Sisi looked up again and met his eyes, which were as black and deep as obsidian.

"..."

Those eyes were quietly gazing at her, filled not only with her own inquisitive expression but also with a light that seemed unfamiliar to her.

Just then, a cool evening breeze gently blew by, ruffling the stray hairs beside Liu Sisi's cheek.

Before she could even raise her hand, a large hand beat her to it, picking up a few strands of her hair and tucking them behind her ear.

"?!" Liu Sisi gasped sharply.

The warmth of the bone brushing against my ear brought a crimson glow, and my heart suddenly leaped into my throat.

She instinctively turned to the side to avoid it.

Isn't this a bit too intimate?

Suddenly, a hint of ambiguity filled the air.

Lin Xuedong took a step closer to her, his voice trembling slightly: "Don't hide, Sisi."

The startled woman instinctively took a step back.

He took another step closer until he pinned her against the guardrail by the river.

With nowhere to retreat, Liu Sisi could only keep her head down.

His dark, round eyes didn't know where to look, and his heart was pounding wildly.

what's going on?

He's their eldest brother!

He's also my boss!

She didn't want to make things too complicated.

Does that mean Lanlan has no chance?

No! What should we do?

At this moment, Lin Xuedong's breathing became slightly heavy, and he could hardly contain the equally tense and restless heart in his chest.

I've been secretly watching her for eight years, and I was thinking of taking advantage of this business trip to Japan to confess my feelings to her.

He feared that if he didn't take the initiative, his courage might slowly wither away, and the feelings he had kept hidden in his heart for so many years would never blossom.

It's surprising that a man who is decisive and resolute in the business world would become flustered and afraid of being rejected when facing a girl he likes.

My heart is pounding.

He tilted his head back, took a deep breath, and mustered his courage again: "Sisi, I..."

“No, Mr. Lin,” Liu Sisi interrupted him, “Do you know? As a junior, you now have someone in your heart. We are happy for you!”

She kept her eyes downcast as she spoke, avoiding eye contact with the man.

In June, a cool breeze was blowing at night.

Liu Sisi felt a surge of heat throughout her body and her breathing became disordered.

We're all adults; no matter how oblivious we are, we can't ignore the unspoken ambiguity at this moment.

"Lanlan... she, that, whose, whose girl is so lucky? Does she know?" At this moment, her face burned as if it were on fire, and a strange panic welled up in her heart. She even stammered and stammered when she spoke.

Liu Sisi wished she could bite her tongue and commit suicide.

What is she saying?
