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

He wrapped himself in a bath towel and walked barefoot out of the bathroom. He called to the woman in the bedroom, "Is there any water? I've got a drink."

"There's bottled water in the refrigerator in the kitchen, help yourself!" She couldn't be bothered to serve him.

Lin Xuedong chuckled softly. No wonder her mother called her a little firecracker. Ha, she really has a bad temper.

He went into the kitchen and turned on the light. He took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, unscrewed it, and started chugging it.

His tall figure leaned against the dressing table, his eyes glancing at the trash can out of the corner of his eye. There were two instant noodle wrappers there, and next to the washbasin were two clean soup bowls and chopsticks.

Lin Xuedong's hand, holding the bottle of mineral water, hovered in mid-air, his brows furrowed, lost in thought...

Back in the bedroom, the bed was very small, only 1.5 meters wide.

It was naturally incomparable to the spaciousness of the 2.2-meter-wide bed at Azure Sky Peak. Liu Sisi slept on her side, silently pressing her back against him.

"Do you have a hairdryer?" He knew she wasn't really asleep, so he pressed his large hand against her bottom and shook her.

"Snapped!"

Liu Sisi slapped his hand away, impatiently turning over and sitting up. She glanced at him disdainfully, exhaled a breath of stale air, and said coldly, "Wait a minute!"

She took a hairdryer from the living room cabinet, plugged it in, placed it on the bedside table, and hummed. "Here you go!"

"Wife~, help me out~." Lin Xuedong sat down next to her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and started to act coquettishly without blushing or skipping a beat.

She pouted. "You! Do it yourself."

"My hands are wet." Lin Xuedong ignored him and started acting like a rogue.

"..." Liu Sisi was trapped by him and couldn't move for a while.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." A moment later, the sound of a hairdryer rang out above Lin Xuedong's head, unsurprisingly.

Liu Sisi's slender, pale fingers gently ran through his short, stiff hair, a caress that felt so tender and comforting. He longed to receive such care every day from now on.

"Hey? You have gray hair now." The sound of the hairdryer stopped abruptly, replaced by Liu Sisi's soft exclamation.

She put down the hairdryer and hurriedly brushed aside a small strand of hair on the back of his left head. "Lin Xuedong, you have gray hair."

Her voice carried a concern and nervousness that she herself was unaware of, completely devoid of the indifference she had shown just moments before.

"Is that so?" Lin Xuedong's lips curled into a smile.

Taking advantage of her inattention, he tightened his arms and buried his face in her chest. It was soft and fragrant, rising and falling with her voice. It aroused the man's desire, and he was instantly overcome with the urge to pounce on her.

"Yes, oh dear! Don't move, let me pull it out so you can see." The woman was unaware of the approaching danger. "Don't move!"

"Yes, I didn't move." Lin Xuedong was extremely pleased with himself.

"Hiss~." Just as he was immersed in the gentle embrace, a sharp pain came from the top of his head.

Liu Sisi excitedly pushed him away, pinched a short white hair between her thumb and forefinger, and held it up to his eyes. "Look!"

"Oh, really?" Lin Xuedong shrugged, unconvinced. "Maybe I've had a lot on my mind lately."

"What's bothering you?" Liu Sisi rolled her eyes at him, thinking about how well he was doing and how comfortable he was, and her porcelain-white face immediately turned cold again.

"Why are you upset with my wife?" Lin Xuedong hugged her again, looking up at her pouting face, his voice full of affection. "Can you tell me, Xin, why are you angry?"

They sat on the edge of the bed, one sitting and the other standing, embracing each other with one taller and one shorter, creating a surprisingly warm and harmonious scene.

Soft light shone into their eyes, revealing a shimmering light within. They were drawn to each other because they loved and knew each other so well.

Sometimes, a single glance or expression can create an inexplicable understanding and trust between them. It seems that everything is understood without words.

"Sisi, I love you. If I've made you angry, please give me a chance to explain, clarify, and even make amends. Please don't keep it to yourself, and don't ignore me; I can't stand it."

Liu Sisi's nose tingled, and her eyes instantly reddened. He said he couldn't stand being ignored by her, but what about her? "Do you really love me?"

While he was embracing women and indulging in a life of pleasure, she could only curl up alone under the covers and weep. She could never forget the ambiguous conversation on the phone that night, nor could she forget the photo on Zeng Ziyan's phone.

Lin Xuedong was stunned; he hadn't expected her to question his love for her. "Sisi?"

"You, you say you love me. But you haven't taken care of yourself, haven't taken care of your own body!" Liu Sisi suddenly became agitated and pushed him away forcefully. She leaned against the wardrobe, panting, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

After the veil was pierced, her heart ached more than ever before. The pain was so intense that she clutched her chest with her hands, her whole body trembling.

You haven't taken care of your health?!

Her accusation struck Lin Xuedong like a thunderbolt, his pupils constricting sharply and his face turning deathly pale. His lips trembled slightly, and he stared blankly at Liu Sisi, who was weeping.

Did she know? Did she know everything?

That matter was like an immovable boulder in Lin Xuedong's heart. It was heavy, oppressive, painful, worrying, and so unbearable that he could hardly breathe.

No, only Lin Lan and A Xiao know about that matter for now, it's impossible for it to reach her ears so quickly.

He stood up to comfort her, but at the same time, he needed to figure things out. "Sisi, don't cry. What do you mean by that?"

"Don't come any closer! That means exactly what it says!" Liu Sisi moved along the wardrobe toward the door, her eyes fixed on him, full of wariness.

Her wariness was noticed by Lin Xuedong, and a sharp pain flashed through his heart, a bitter and unbearable feeling.

"Sisi, explain yourself clearly." He couldn't let her overthink things.

"There's nothing to say, we're all adults. You know perfectly well what you've done!" Liu Sisi's heart ached more and more as she spoke. She couldn't bear to part with him, but she was also...

Lin Xuedong suppressed his inner turmoil and tried his best to remain calm. "No, I don't understand what you mean."

"What did you do after drinking while you were out socializing?"

"I……."

His hesitation dealt a heavy blow to Liu Sisi's heart. In despair, she closed her eyes, letting tears stream down her face. Her body trembled uncontrollably with excitement; if she hadn't been leaning against the wardrobe, she would have collapsed to the ground long ago.

"Sisi, whatever I've done, it wasn't what I wanted." Lin Xuedong genuinely felt guilty. "I promise I'll control myself from now on. Can you give me another chance?"

He didn't want to hurt Liu Sisi, but things didn't go as planned. Seeing her suffer made him feel terrible, and his heart ached.

Does this mean he's admitting it? He's really heartless!

They crushed her last straw, so what is she still hoping for?

When she opened her eyes again, Lin Xuedong, wrapped in a bath towel, was already standing in front of her. His eyes held deep guilt; he dared not touch her, and simply waited silently for the verdict.

"Why didn't you take care of yourself?" she asked in a hoarse voice.

"..." Lin Xuedong sighed softly, unable to bring himself to say it. No matter what, he felt he had wronged Lin Lan and her; it was the biggest stain on his life.

After a long silence...

"Have Xiao come pick you up. I think we both need to separate and calm down." Liu Sisi turned her face away, staring blankly out the window.

"No, Sisi." Lin Xuedong tried to reach out and grab her, his heart filled with panic. He couldn't calm down when he heard her say they had to separate; it felt like a hole had been ripped out of his heart, and a cold wind was blowing through him, chilling him to the bone.

Liu Sisi flinched away, her eyes filled with disgust. "Don't touch me!"

"Okay, okay, I won't touch you. But I won't leave either. Shall I sleep in the guest room?" Lin Xuedong decided to give in first, pleading in a very humble manner.

Liu Sisi raised her hand, wiped away her tears, and glared at him again.

"Fine, fine, I won't sleep in the guest room. I'll... I'll sleep in the sand pit, is that alright?" He continued to back down.

Lin Xuedong pulled a tissue from the bedside table and used it to wipe her tears. "Honey, it's 1 a.m. now, and it's not good to ask Xiao to run around. Let's ask him to come over tomorrow morning, okay?"

Liu Sisi snatched the tissue, wiped her tears herself, and remained silent.

Lin Xuedong was secretly delighted, knowing that his little woman was definitely softening. He thought he had to humble himself even more to win her over. "Wife, don't cry. It's all my fault, I'm the one who should be crying, I deserve it! You're right, let's separate for a while. You can calm down in the room, and I'll reflect deeply in the living room. I'll report my mistakes to you tomorrow morning, and you can punish me as you please. It's so late at night, what do you think..."

He looked at his disheveled state with a pitiful expression, gave a self-deprecating laugh, and continued to play the victim. "Honey, please have pity on me and let me stay for one night~".

Liu Sisi glanced at him and sighed deeply. With a helpless expression, she turned and opened the wardrobe, taking out spare blankets and pillows.

She wouldn't let him sleep in the guest room anymore; he deserved to suffer a bit!

He grabbed his things and walked out of the living room without a word, throwing the blankets and pillows onto the three sofas. He lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then let out a sigh.

Lin Xuedong followed her out of the living room. Seeing her angry yet soft-hearted actions, he felt quite sweet inside, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve up.

The next second, he suppressed his smile. Liu Sisi bent down to spread the blanket and put the pillows away.

Although she was still angry, subconsciously she was still willing to think of herself.

At that moment, Lin Xuedong really wanted to rush forward without hesitation, hold her tightly in his arms, and cherish and love her. But he didn't dare to act rashly. He secretly kept this touching moment in his heart.

After making the bed, Liu Sisi adjusted the air conditioner and turned to him coldly, saying, "Don't wander around tonight."

"Oh, thank you, honey. Don't close the door." He smiled.

"What?!"

"I'm shy around strangers." He scratched his head, saying this with a straight face. "And I'm afraid of the dark too."

"???" Liu Sisi stared at him, looking at him as if he were mentally challenged.

After a while, she gave up and walked straight towards the bedroom. As she passed the man, he suddenly grabbed the hem of her clothes, forcing her to stop. She looked up in confusion.

"Go wash your face before you sleep, it'll make you feel better." The man's voice was deep and sensual, filled with concern.

"Mmm." Liu Sisi was soft-hearted because his affection was genuine. But she just couldn't get over the hurdle of his infidelity.

"Goodnight, my love." Before she could react, Lin Xuedong quickly leaned down and kissed her cheek. Then, he released her clothes and walked barefoot towards the sand.

The living room lights were off. Looking at his disheveled figure, Liu Sisi felt a pang of sorrow, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

She sighed softly and headed towards the bathroom. She silently thought, "That's it. Let everyone calm down before we talk."

That night, she slept soundly; perhaps it was because he was there that she felt especially at ease.
