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

The upscale French restaurant is decorated in a luxurious and extravagant style, exuding French charm.

The magnificent crystal chandelier illuminated the private room, creating a beautiful and elegant atmosphere.

The table setting was absolutely gorgeous, with vibrant fresh flowers, lit candlesticks, and exquisite sterling silver cutlery, cups, and plates.

The plating was elaborate and elaborate, layer upon layer... it was very grand.

Liu Sisi felt flustered; it was her first time eating what was supposed to be a French meal. She couldn't help but lower her eyes and scrutinize herself. Her somber business attire seemed out of place in this refined and elegant setting.

Such a style made her feel extremely embarrassed and uncomfortable. But she still tried her best to maintain a calm and proper demeanor.

At that moment, the aloof man sat elegantly opposite him. The dining table was rectangular, and they were only three seats apart. Flowers and candlesticks separated them, the soft candlelight blurring their vision.

In Liu Sisi's eyes, there was no romance whatsoever. She only felt that those embellishments, seemingly there but not quite, were good enough, so as not to make people feel too awkward or uncomfortable.

Despite this, the man's gaze still managed to penetrate the obstacles and land precisely on Liu Sisi's face.

He raised an eyebrow; the woman's unique charm was increasingly captivating. It was a blend of gentleness, spontaneity, composure, resilience, and a touch of playfulness.

There's a saying that goes something like this... True beauty lies in the bone structure, not just the skin.

The waiter began serving the pre-dinner champagne and aperitifs. Li Songze elegantly picked up his glass, raised it to her, took a sip of champagne, and asked, "Did you call me here for something?"

"Hmm." Liu Sisi mimicked him, repeating his actions as she answered. "I came to say goodbye to President Li."

Saying goodbye?

Li Songze's heart tightened, and his grip on the wine glass tightened slightly. He narrowed his dark eyes at the woman, not replying, waiting for her to continue.

"Due to personal reasons, I have resigned from my position at Lin's. Going forward, Director Zhou will take over the 5G project."

"Personal reasons?" Li Songze murmured unconsciously, his feelings a little complicated.

"Yes, I'm grateful for Mr. Li's support during this time, and I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future," Liu Sisi said in a formal tone.

"You changed jobs?" he asked.

*Pfft!* Liu Sisi had just taken a sip of champagne when he suddenly asked her a question that left her speechless. She almost spat out the champagne, so she covered her mouth to swallow it down and took a moment to catch her breath.

He was an elegant, aloof, and detached CEO. The fact that he used such colloquialisms from ordinary people caught her completely off guard.

To avoid further embarrassment, Liu Sisi took a napkin and ladylikely touched the corner of her mouth, then replied calmly, "No."

Li Songze frowned. If she doesn't go to work, what will she do? "Go abroad?"

"No, I just want to rest at home for a while." Despite her best efforts to remain calm and composed, her face flushed red. She felt quite embarrassed.

Looking at her blushing, shy face, Li Songze suddenly felt flustered and afraid, and his chest tightened and ached.

His heart, which had been filled with joy and excitement, sank straight into the sea, as if weighed down by a heavy stone. A heavy, oppressive feeling pressed down on him, making it hard to breathe.

Silence... He had lost all interest in eating and could only eat in silence.

Liu Sisi didn't think much of it, because he was like ice, never showing his emotions and unfathomable.

She naively assumed the silence was part of French dining etiquette—the principle of not speaking while eating or sleeping. Cleverly, she followed Li Songze's example, learning to dine elegantly.

Because they were both used to being quiet, they found it more comfortable to eat in silence without communicating.

Speaking of French cuisine, it's truly a complicated affair. The pace is incredibly slow, and the procedures are numerous.

Fortunately, every dish was beautifully presented, delicious, and visually appealing. Their exquisite presentation, like works of art, was breathtaking.

As the meal drew to a close, Liu Sisi realized that they had actually spent more than two hours eating it.

"Won't it be boring?" The man stirred the black tea in his cup, his deep, cold voice breaking the silence.

Liu Sisi was about to start eating her dessert when her small spoon froze in mid-air. She looked up at the man. "Huh?"

"Aren't you bored staying home every day?" he asked again, taking a moment to calm his thoughts during the meal. He was finally feeling a bit better, but he still wanted to know what she was up to.

"Oh, I don't know." Liu Sisi lowered her eyes and looked at the comb in front of her, which was still hot and swollen.

She scooped up a spoonful and put it in her mouth. Mmm, it was sweet and creamy with a subtle aroma of egg white; the taste and texture were incredibly appealing, filling her with happiness. "I've just been feeling a bit stressed lately, so I need to take a break and recuperate."

"Just a 5G project? Is there a lot of pressure?" He concealed the sadness in his eyes, took a sip of black tea, and asked leisurely.

Liu Sisi gave a self-deprecating laugh and asked in return, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Li. Do you think my work ability and stress tolerance are not very good?"

No, you're very good.

Liu Sisi paused slightly, then looked up. Three seats away, she gazed intently at the man across the candlestick, feeling slightly flattered by his praise.

Who is Li Songze? He is a pivotal figure in S City, an invincible figure in the technology sector.

He was now impeccably dressed in a suit, sitting upright and exuding an air of authority as he shared the feast with himself, praising his own work abilities.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved or surprised. She was somewhat stunned; this man was someone she had once admired and idolized.

Li Songze was also looking at her, seeing her eyes clear and bright, pure as a spring, sparkling with light. Aside from the slight excitement of being praised by her superior, there was nothing else; there were no impure thoughts.

He sighed inwardly, feeling dejected and reluctant to part ways with her, thinking that he would never have any contact with her again.

"It's a bit of a pity," he said casually.

"I also feel it's a pity. It's such a rare opportunity to work with you, Mr. Li. I never imagined it before. So many people would flock to such an opportunity!" she joked, half-jokingly.

"Flocked to it like moths to a flame?" Li Songze chuckled. She couldn't even get it by begging? Did she really think that way?

"Hey? Mr. Li, you smiled again. That's great, you look beautiful when you smile, you should smile more often~." Liu Sisi couldn't help but be happy when she saw his smile.

"Even if you're laid off, I won't see you anymore." Li Songze looked at the smile in her eyes, his heart burning with warmth. No matter how handsome I am, I'll never have the chance to smile in front of you.

"Hehe, that's true. Hey, Mr. Li, haven't you heard the saying, 'A smile makes the world a better place'? Even though I can't see it, the people around you will, and I'll be happy for you too."

The people around you?

"An Ran, I was asking about you." Li Songze blinked, his face still calm and collected. "I'm going to visit the set in Hengzhou in a couple of days, and she asked me to bring you along."

"Hehe, what a coincidence?" Liu Sisi shrugged, thinking that going out for a walk and relaxing wouldn't be bad, so she readily agreed. "How about Thursday? I still need to hand over my work at the company these two days."

"Okay." Li Songze smiled, and his mood naturally relaxed.

It was almost nine o'clock when dinner ended, and Liu Sisi went with Li Songze to the parking lot to get the car.

She was hesitating about how to tell him not to see her off, as she didn't want to take him back to her apartment.

The underground parking lot was dimly lit, with few cars and people. Liu Sisi hesitated as she walked, and before she knew it, she had fallen a short distance behind Li Songze.

Suddenly, a faint, strange noise came from the shadows around the corner not far to her left.
