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

On Saturday, and because it was summer vacation, the movie theater was packed with people.

If I hadn't booked the tickets in advance, they really would have been hard to come by.

Lin Lan bought the usual movie-going treats—popcorn and drinks—and enthusiastically dragged Lin Xuedong into the theater. "Brother, this romance movie is really popular. I'm so glad you came with me."

She had booked a double booth for couples, and Lin Xuedong didn't say anything, but simply sat down as she requested.

"Brother, don't mind it too much. I just happened to want to watch this movie. If there's a chance next time, I'll watch something else with you." Seeing that he remained silent, Lin Lan said tactfully, as if choosing this romance movie was just a coincidence.

Lin Xuedong smiled, glanced at her, and said nothing more. He sat elegantly, his face calm and expressionless.

Lin Lan then considerately handed him a drink, glancing at him in return. In the dimly lit movie theater, the light from the screen shone on her pretty face, reflecting a pair of watery eyes filled with a smile.

She put her red lips to the straw and even bit it, putting on a shy, girlish expression.

"Thank you." Lin Xuedong took the drink, not looking directly at her, his gaze fixed on the big screen.

Lin Lan licked her lips, and seeing that he had no further intentions, she obediently sat back down and began to watch the movie intently.

During the two-hour movie, Lin Xuedong sat there without making much noise or showing any emotion.

On the contrary, Lin Lan would secretly observe him from time to time, and her emotions would fluctuate when the plot reached a heart-wrenching point. She would cry her heart out, successfully attracting Lin Xuedong's attention.

"Do you need that?" He handed her a tissue and wiped away her tears. He thought to himself that Lin Lan was actually quite fragile inside.

Lin Xuedong gently coaxed her. "It's just acting, don't cry."

"Brother, they missed each other so badly, it's such a pity." Lin Lan expressed her feelings after watching the film.

We missed it completely!

Lin Xuedong's heart clenched suddenly. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze darkening. A pang of sorrow flashed through his mind, followed by an unconcealable unease in his eyes.

No, they will always be together.

He recalled the vows Liu Sisi had made to him the night before, and the tears of happiness she shed because she was moved. Every scene was deeply etched in his mind.

Lin Xuedong was filled with remorse and could only numb himself with the memory of last night's experience. He suppressed his feelings of anxiety and uncertainty, clinging to a sliver of hope.

It was already 3 p.m. when I came out of the movie.

Lin Lan then dragged him around the shops in the New World Center until he received a WeChat message from Liu Sisi.

"I just finished up here and am getting ready to head back. How long do you expect to be busy? Would you like to have dinner together tonight?"

"Brother, are you going back?" Lin Lan blinked, meeting his deep, dark eyes, which were like unyielding ink, impossible for anyone to fathom.

"Hmm." Lin Xuedong gave a soft hum, then took the bag of clothes she had just bought a few seconds later, adding, "I'll take you home."

"Oh, then let's go." Lin Lan felt a pang of disappointment and replied, biting her lip.

Just as they turned around, two slender figures emerged from a corner not far away.

Zeng Ziyan's fingers gripped the phone tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"Tsk tsk tsk, they really have a big heart, openly pulling and tugging at each other. It seems that Lin Xuedong isn't all that great after all, the world is full of crows..." Chen Meiyuan raised her eyebrows, her words full of sarcasm.

“Lin Lan hasn’t been back to the company for over two weeks; there must be something fishy going on. Meiyuan, help me find someone to keep her on the run, and it’s best to gather evidence.” Zeng Ziyan’s beautiful eyes narrowed dangerously as she stared intently at the two figures walking away.

Well, Lin Lan, you've finally shown your true colors.

"Could it be that Lin Xuedong is keeping a mistress?" Chen Meiyuan nodded, then slightly curled her lips with a hint of sneer. "He's really something. He was so affectionate with Liu Sisi just a moment ago, and now he's all lovey-dovey with Lin Lan."

"Who cares? Anyway, this time, I'm going to kick those two bitches away with one kick." A wicked glint flashed in her eyes.

"By the way, how's Liu Sisi's premarital medical examination report?" Zeng Ziyan asked again.

"The report has defined it as blocked fallopian tubes, causing ovarian dysfunction and ovulation disorders, which can lead to infertility." Chen Meiyuan smiled, a sharp glint in her eyes. "The doctors have already taken care of it; they'll mix a contraceptive ingredient into her injections."

"Okay, Meiyuan, thank goodness you're here." Zeng Ziyan hugged her arm. In order to get Lin Xuedong, she had no choice but to go all out.

"Silly girl, what's our relationship? Anyway, with me around, don't hide away in panic." Chen Meiyuan looked at her, seeing her increasingly helpless state as she fought for a man, and felt sorry for her. "Nine out of ten men are sleazy. How can you survive without some tricks and skills? To survive in our circle, we also have our own unavoidable helplessness."

"Meiyuan, you're really capable. What are your plans for Li Songze?" They chatted as they strolled around.

"That 5G smart city cooperation project that we just finalized is finally getting started." Chen Meiyuan's eyes sparkled as she mentioned Li Songze. That man was exceptionally aloof; she felt a strong urge to conquer him. "We'll find opportunities in future interactions. There's plenty of time."

"I wish you success! Come on, let's go have afternoon tea, it's on me." With Chen Meihuan's help, she wouldn't have to fight alone. Zeng Ziyan's mood brightened immediately, and she said generously.

"Beep~, correct password, welcome home."

Lin Xuedong stood outside the gate for a long time, while his wife waited for him inside.

After a moment of reflection, he felt guilty for deceiving him today. Once he had composed himself, Lin Xuedong sighed deeply, and only pushed open the door after his eyes had regained their clarity.

He changed his shoes in the entryway and walked through the living room.

What catches the eye is the figure of a petite woman wearing an apron, her long hair tied up behind her head, busily working in the open kitchen.

Under the bright lights, he saw the glowing spots on her body.

Gentle and virtuous, she only cooked and cleaned for him.

The heartwarming scene pierced his heart. A deep sense of guilt gripped him once more, causing a dull ache.

Hearing the sound, Liu Sisi slightly raised her head and smiled faintly at him. Not noticing anything amiss, she raised her pink lips and said, "You're back? I brought some soup back from Mom's. Wash up first, then come downstairs; dinner will be ready soon."

"Yes, honey, you've worked hard." He smiled apologetically, not wanting to smell on himself, so he didn't go over.

In the master bathroom, a man's muscular body is immersed in a large jacuzzi.

The sound of splashing water echoed in the room. He kept his eyes tightly closed, letting the spring water pound against his body, his mind racing.

He found himself increasingly unable to face Liu Sisi with equanimity; that incident was not only a stain on his life but also had far-reaching implications.

To date, he has still not uncovered the truth of the matter, let alone found a solution!

Perhaps it was just an accidental mishap. And all we can do now is try our best to cover it up.

Therefore, he decided to settle Lin Lan in a safe place and reduce her chances of being exposed.

As for Liu Sisi... his heart clenched uncontrollably.

"Pfft."

So he plunged headfirst into the water, held his breath underwater, and let the feeling of suffocation overshadow his inner sorrow...
