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

Inside the bathroom, fine, warm water dripped from the showerhead down Liu Sisi's hair, washing away the restlessness she had felt all day.

After calming down, she couldn't help but reminisce about her date with Lin Xuedong that day. The "tether" on her wrist seemed to possess a captivating magic, making her unable to stop thinking about that man...

A joy she herself didn't even realize rippled across her fair face. Had she been out of love for too long? A long-lost sweetness welled up in her heart, impossible to suppress.

The woman, now dressed up, wore a black lace dress. The style was elegant and understated, and the fitted, knee-length cut accentuated her curves.

Her long hair was simply tied up in a bun, and she wore light makeup, making her look elegant and refined.

She couldn't refuse the blind date her mother had arranged; she could only take it one step at a time. Perhaps, she could explain things to the other person when the opportunity arose.

So she drove her Toyota Camry towards the suburbs.

The traffic was clear on Saturday, and she arrived at her mother's building about an hour later.

Zeng Meiyu had been waiting there for a while. As soon as the car stopped, she opened the passenger door and got in.

She expertly fastened her seatbelt and then began to chatter on. "Is the road congested? Xiao Du just called to say they've already set off. That Xiao Du is really great, young and promising, with a successful career. You'll like him."

"Mom!" Liu Sisi glanced at her, seeing how determined she was, and felt utterly helpless. She started the car impatiently and replied curtly, "There's no traffic today, we should be there around six."

"Hey! Can you give me some serious encouragement? You'll be 27 in two months, okay? Get a grip. Seriously..." Compared to Zeng Meiyu's energized excitement, Liu Sisi could only laugh and cry.

"Let's meet first." A clearly perfunctory response.

“Let me be frank with you, Xiao Du is 33 years old and already has his own career. He’s practically a bachelor. It seems like you two would be a good match,” Zeng Meiyu said, laying the groundwork.

"Hmm, that sounds good."

"Right? I was wondering what's wrong with your generation of young people. Are you all so uninterested in finding a partner? One or two of you are getting on in years, still so unambitious. It's annoying!"

"Late marriage is the trend these days. We're all focused on our careers, where do we find the time and energy to date?"

"Pshaw! You can't say that, especially not you girls." Zeng Meiyu started talking, and her lecturing words came right off the bat.

"No matter how great your career is, it can't compare to having a caring partner who can take care of you when you're tired."

"When you're troubled, someone comforts you; when you're suffering, someone supports you; when you're lonely, someone keeps you company; when you're happy, someone shares your joy."

"Mom doesn't understand your ideas about late marriage. Life is full of choices. Sisi, if you want a happy family, you need to find a husband who loves you and raise two healthy and lively children together. As long as you earn enough money to live on, that's fine. A peaceful and stable life is a woman's happiness."

“I understand. I have my own plans. No matter how hard I try, I have to let nature take its course. Right?” Liu Sisi glanced at her mother and calmly retorted.

Now over fifty, she had been raised by her mother alone for many years. The time she spent in a loving relationship with her father and building a family together was the happiest period of her life.

Sadly, illness cruelly took her beloved away. Those sweet and warm days, etched in her memory, could only remain a lifelong recollection.

Therefore, she could understand Zeng Meiyu's perseverance, her desire to subtly instill the essence of life in her daughter. Ultimately, she simply hoped that her daughter could also grasp happiness soon.

Zeng Meiyu sighed deeply. "Sigh~, wasn't it because I wanted you to take it seriously? Don't let me be the only one worrying all the time."

I understand. Actually, everyone knows it perfectly well.

Liu Sisi pondered silently, wondering if she and Lin Xuedong would eventually get married.

Forget it, let time take its course. There's no point in overthinking.

See, that's what an optimist she is. Oh, no! There's a term in modern fashion... called "Buddhist-like".

"Hehe!" She gripped the steering wheel with both hands, feeling quite pleased with herself, and finally couldn't help but chuckle out loud.

"I'm so lucky to have a mom who worries about me!"

Zeng Meiyu glanced at her. "What's wrong with your character?"

He was momentarily blinded by the diamond bracelet on her wrist, and with a pout, he was about to nag again. "All you know how to do is waste money!"

Um, Liu Sisi glanced at the "Concern" on her wrist. A sweet feeling welled up in her heart, lingering between her brows, and her face radiated a gentle warmth.

"Isn't it beautiful? The contract was signed today, and the company gave me a bonus. It's a good way to cheer myself up." Knowing that her mother was always simple and frugal, she added.

This bonus is quite substantial, 50! Thinking about it, I've achieved success in both love and career; life is still wonderful. "Tomorrow, half of my bonus will be deposited into your account. My dowry, my dowry, please save it for me."

At six o'clock, they arrived at the hotel on time.

It was a high-end restaurant serving local Shanghainese cuisine. The waiter led them to their reserved room.

The moment the door to the private room opened, the three people sitting inside simultaneously turned their gaze toward the entrance.

One of the young men stood up first and walked slowly toward them.

The man wore a light gray casual suit, looking refined, neat, and elegant.

He walked up to the two of them, politely greeting Zeng Meiyu with a warm smile. "Aunt Zeng, you've arrived? Please come in."

At the same time, he glanced at Liu Sisi out of the corner of his eye, and the slight upturn of his lips gave him an air of elegance and refinement.

"Hey~, Xiao Du, have you been waiting long? I'm so sorry." Zeng Meiyu took a liking to the young man in front of her at first sight, and couldn't help but smile broadly.

“It’s alright, we haven’t been here long. Come, Aunt Zeng, let me introduce you, these two are my father and mother.” The man led them to his parents and introduced them to each other.

"Dad, Mom, this is Aunt Zeng. And her daughter... Miss Liu." He nodded slightly to Liu Sisi, offering a brief greeting.

"Brother Du, Sister Du, hello. This is my daughter, Sisi." Zeng Meiyu smiled and extended her hand to shake theirs. Then, she tugged at Liu Sisi's skirt, asking her to do something in return.

Liu Sisi smiled gently and bowed slightly to the two elders, showing grace and poise. "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I am Sisi."

"Hmm, okay, okay, okay, all good. Please have a seat, let's sit down and chat." The other parents seemed quite satisfied with them and were very welcoming.

"Zhentao, go and greet Miss Sisi. Don't just stand there."

Du Zhentao leaned closer to Liu Sisi and gentlemanly pulled out a chair for her. "Hello, I'm Du Zhentao."

"Thank you. I'm Liu Sisi, nice to meet you." Liu Sisi smiled and nodded to him in greeting, while casually glancing at him.
