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

"That's enough." Xing Peng walked towards them carrying the bag containing the penalties, his face an air of impartiality, and raised his voice. "Old Li, it's a real shame, you've lost, so just accept the punishment."

"Oh, Lao Li, you're going to be punished!" Xie Zhanming impatiently pushed them aside, then turned around and gloated. "Tsk tsk tsk, you're dead meat!"

Facing the wall, shout "I love you!" three times.

"Hahaha~." When they learned that he had drawn this line, the whole audience burst into laughter.

Xing Yi, in particular, was laughing so hard his back almost gave way. He moved closer to Li Songze and shoved him toward the wall.

"Who released this? It's so outrageous," Li Songze said with a wry smile.

"Whatever, you're a man of your word." Xing Yi said with a helpless expression.

As a result, the usually aloof, self-possessed, and imposing CEO was reduced to a pathetic fool.

Dejected and disheartened, he shouted those three words in front of everyone, facing the empty wall, in a miserable manner.

That's so idiotic! It's hilarious!

Everyone was laughing so hard at Li Songze's stupid behavior that they were doubled over with laughter.

The woman laughed hysterically, tears welling in her eyes. Meanwhile, his group of close friends were either doubled over with laughter or clapping their hands in amazement.

Liu Sisi couldn't help but giggle along with everyone else. Her pink lips parted to reveal her white teeth, and her eyebrows curved, making her look particularly delicate.

When Li Songze turned around, he saw this scene. He shook his head slightly and chuckled silently.

Chen Meiyuan originally thought that she and Li Songze could start and continue. But to her surprise, it was Li Songze who started and the conversation went around in circles, which made her so angry that she could only stomp her feet.

By the second pass, everyone had warmed up, and their technique was naturally much more skillful. The real climax came when Liu Sisi took over and passed the tissue to Lin Xuedong.

By then, the tissues were torn to shreds and crumpled beyond recognition. It was difficult to locate them; the point of equilibrium was almost impossible to find.

Liu Sisi blushed, tilting her delicate face upwards, her breath sweet as orchids. A tissue hung precariously from her chin and neck, ready to be picked at will.

"Sisi, slowly move the toothpick to one side, just make sure it doesn't fall." Lin Xuedong gently cupped the back of her head with his large hand to lighten her load, and softly instructed her.

Liu Sisi blinked and carefully did as she was told. The next second, her eyes widened as she watched Lin Xuedong lean down without any hesitation.

He first held the toothpick in his mouth, then used his lips to lift the tattered tissue and spread it evenly on her pink lips. On the slightly intact surface, using the gap between her lips, he extended the toothpick to a short length and then slowly inserted it.

What a seductive gesture! It drew shouts and cheers from Xing Yi and Xie Zhandong, who seemed eager to stir up trouble. Across from them, Li Songze watched coldly, his eyes deep and his expression indifferent.

He crossed his arms over his chest, his breathing slightly heavier. Another person watched them coldly, but inwardly resentful. Her hands were clenched into fists, and her teeth were clenched tightly; she was Zeng Ziyan.

Liu Sisi felt hot all over and her face flushed from the atmosphere. She was so embarrassed, but she couldn't disturb him.

He could only stand there dumbfounded, letting Lin Xuedong "work" on his lips.

They were very close, and she could clearly see the fine pores on his fair skin, and the slight trembling of his thick eyelashes beneath his half-closed eyes. His expression was serious and focused, and his breathing was steady, as if giving her a sense of reassurance.

Finally, Lin Xuedong successfully drilled a new, secure hole in the tissue. He gently straightened Liu Sisi, then squatted down, letting the tissue slide down at an angle onto his toothpick—a skillful maneuver.

"Hehe~, you little rascal, you've taken advantage of Sisi again." Xie Zhanming stood with his hands on his hips, pointed a finger at Lin Xuedong, and began to mock him.

Lin Xuedong straightened up, smugly raised his chin, and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "Is it any of your business?"

“Look at Lao Wen and his wife, they don’t cheat like that,” Xie Zhanming continued to provoke.

"We're deeply in love, so of course we're not the same..."

Lin Xuedong's smugness lasted only three seconds before Xie Zhanming set him up. Before he could finish speaking, the tattered, fluttering tissue, unable to withstand the trembling of the toothpick and his breath, fell to the ground with a "whoosh."

"Oh, you've lost. You're dead this time! Hahahaha~." Xie Zhanming's wicked scheme succeeded, and he grinned slyly.

"Damn it." Lin Xuedong cursed under his breath, his eyes fixed on him.

Xing Peng tossed over a bag with a smug grin and sneered, "Pick one yourself!"

Liu Sisi tugged at his sleeve worriedly. He looked down at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, and softly comforted her, "It's alright, don't worry."

Open the door, stand in the hallway, and shout three times, "I'm so lonely!"

Upon learning of this new penalty, Lin Xuedong's face immediately darkened. This was even more inhumane than just standing facing the wall and saying "I love you"—how was he supposed to get along with this afterward?

"Who came up with this terrible idea?!" he cursed under his breath.

"Hahaha~, stop talking nonsense, just admit defeat." Xing Yi rushed over, reached out and grabbed his arm, as if escorting him to torture.

He asked hesitantly, his gaze seeking Wen Nanguo's. "Could we get another one?"

Wen Nanguo pursed his lips, glanced at him, and then smiled slightly at his wife. He would listen to his wife.

Mrs. Wen looked up at Lin Xuedong, her smile still warm and friendly, her expression slightly relaxed, and she was about to speak.

"Hey, sister-in-law, we can't let him get away with this. This kid's cunning, don't let him fool you." Xie Zhanming persisted, striding over. He and Xing Yi flanked Lin Xuedong, grinning slyly as they shouted, "Hurry up, you're a grown man, stop dawdling."

Lin Xuedong was shoved and pushed by the two men, staggering towards the door of the private room. He grinned, making a last-ditch effort, and adopted a businessman's negotiating tone. "Two for one, how about that?"

“No, everyone needs to have sportsmanship.” Xing Peng stood up and walked over, looking like he was watching a good show.

At this moment, Liu Sisi couldn't sit still any longer, her watery eyes fixed on the man being held captive.

It was really difficult for him to do something so embarrassing. Although it was just a punishment in a game, and she couldn't save him, she couldn't leave him to face it alone.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and parted her pink lips slightly. "Wait a minute."

The men, who were just a step away from the door, turned around at the sound and saw Liu Sisi standing up, her face flushed. She forced a smile, trying her best to remain calm and natural, suppressing her shyness.

She took a few steps with her slender legs and slowly approached them. Her gaze fell only on her husband, the man she loved.

Lin Xuedong's deep eyes reflected the petite woman approaching from afar. She drew closer step by step, as if stepping on the very tip of his heart, bringing an unparalleled flutter of emotion. She was clearly incredibly shy, yet she was willing to cast aside all distractions and break through her inner defenses to come for him.

Just as she approached, Xing Yi mischievously whistled and said in a slightly provocative tone, "Sisi, if you're here to liven things up, fine. But you can't save him."

Liu Sisi smiled and shook her head. "I'm here to keep him company."

She felt her face burning hot, her heart pounding, and even her voice trembling.

Lin Xuedong's lips curled up, his dark eyes growing even deeper. In that fleeting moment, his gaze swept over every inch of her body.

Her slender, petite body seemed to radiate light, igniting a burning passion within him.

He nudged Xie Zhanming and Xing Yi aside with his arm, went straight to them, and reached out to take Liu Sisi's hand. His thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was gentle as water. "Don't be afraid, we're together."

Then, he grinned at Xie Zhanming and the others, saying in a light and smug tone, "Now I won't be lonely anymore."

Liu Sisi felt her heart, which had been pounding wildly, slowly calm down as his warm, dry hand grasped hers. Her eyes remained fixed on his face; being able to face things side-by-side with him felt reassuring and fulfilling.

"Tsk tsk tsk, they really are a couple deeply in love. So entangled!" Xing Peng crossed his arms and teased with a smile.

"No, Sisi. If you go with him, you'll get another punishment when you get back." Xing Yi stylishly flicked his short, flaxen hair from his forehead, deliberately making things difficult for her.

Liu Sisi and Lin Xuedong exchanged a glance. He licked his lips, observing her nervous face with amusement. Instead of answering Xing Yi, he asked Liu Sisi, "Are you scared?"

"I'm not afraid." She answered him without thinking, not understanding why she suddenly felt fearless being next to him.

Lin Xuedong smiled at her, his bright eyes turning to Xing Yi. He shrugged nonchalantly and smiled in agreement. "As long as everyone's happy."

Then, amidst everyone's urging, Lin Xuedong obediently stood in the corridor outside the private room.

There were many waiters waiting outside different private rooms, and distinguished guests, along with their female and male companions, would come and go from time to time.

Lin Xuedong took several deep breaths, but still couldn't bring himself to shout. Whether it was from the alcohol or the game being too bad, his fair and handsome face gradually turned rosy, making him look particularly alluring.

“Let’s shout together, it’ll be over in a second.” Liu Sisi, holding his hand beside him, encouraged him softly.

They gazed at each other deeply, then together shouted three times down the corridor, regardless of whether anyone was there. "I'm so lonely---!"

Immediately, passersby in the corridor sneered as if they were looking at a lunatic, and the waiters covered their mouths and chuckled.

Lin Xuedong, seeing that the task was completed, decided to leave it at that!

Without pausing for a moment, he put his arm around Liu Sisi's shoulder and rushed back to the private room with a beaming smile.

"Awooooo~." As everyone cheered and shouted, Li Songze, sitting at the dining table, slightly parted the corners of his mouth, a complicated smile on his face.

"Old Li, you should hurry up and find someone and have a proper relationship. Look at that kid A-Dong, he's living the good life." Wen Nanguo urged him, seeing his depressed look.

Li Songze's slender fingers landed on the wine glass. He picked up the glass and swirled it idly, the purplish-red liquid perfectly highlighting his aloofness.

"I will." With that, he smiled slightly and downed the red wine in one gulp.

Chen Meiyuan, sitting next to him, was secretly delighted, thinking that she would seize the opportunity to get away from everyone and win him over.

"Brother Li, I'm so happy today, and Brother Lin's wine is really good too. Come, let me toast you." As she spoke, she poured some wine for Li Songze, picked up her own glass, and stepped forward.

Li Songze could naturally see through her obvious flirting.

He wasn't promiscuous when it came to matters of the heart, and although he was currently single, his heart couldn't hold anyone else but her, let alone feel any interest in other women.

His thick eyebrows furrowed, and out of politeness, he touched the glass to his lips somewhat evasively, taking only a small sip.

Just as Lin Xuedong and Liu Sisi returned to their seats, Zeng Ziyan, with a shameless grin, leaned over and asked with concern, "Brother Xuedong, are you alright?"

"Well, it's alright, just a little embarrassing." Lin Xuedong was in a great mood at the moment because Liu Sisi was with him, so he wasn't completely humiliated. Therefore, he replied to Zeng Ziyan without much thought.

"Learn from Brother Dong, playing games is just for fun, everyone should relax." Zeng Ziyan seemed understanding, but she hadn't had a chance to talk to him all night, and felt inexplicably annoyed.

Lin Xuedong glanced at Zeng Ziyan, said nothing more, and simply nodded and hummed in agreement.
