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

Lin Xuedong went back to the company and washed away his dejection in the break room.

He changed into clean clothes, unbuttoning the top three buttons of his black shirt to reveal his fair chest. Only in this way could he feel that breathing was a little easier.

Without turning on the lights, a man opened a bottle of brandy and sat lost in thought in a corner. The night was hazy, and he gazed intently towards Deer Mountain.

Many fragmented images flashed through his mind, near and far, sweet yet bittersweet, and he laughed sadly...

"Brother, this is my new good friend from university, Liu Sisi. She's amazing, with excellent grades, hardworking, and a bit silly and adorable."

At the birthday party, Lin Lan excitedly tugged at Liu Sisi's sleeve, leading her to Lin Xuedong and introducing her in a unique way.

Staring blankly?!

Liu Sisi glanced at her with a bitter look, her face as red as a ripe apple, looking shy. Then, she turned to look at Lin Xuedong, her eyes clear and pure, and said, "Hello, I'm Liu Sisi, Lin Lan's classmate."

Lin Xuedong narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze scrutinizing the new classmate.

He wasn't very tall, and wore flat white cloth shoes. She was a head shorter than him, only reaching below his collarbone. She was also thin and frail, but had fair skin and a pure, though not particularly striking, appearance.

Her outfit was rather ordinary; that day, she wore a beige dress, a slightly conservative style. But somehow, it gave off a serene and serene feeling.

It was the height of summer in June, and her long hair was simply tied up. She looked neat and refreshing, exuding the pure and youthful charm unique to young girls.

Her voice was very pleasant, especially when she laughed; her giggles were as clear and melodious as silver bells. What impressed me most was the way she laughed; it had an unexpectedly ethereal quality.

That year, she and Lin Lan had just entered university and were both just 19 years old. They were at an age full of energy, youthful naiveté mixed with a touch of rebellion.

"Hello, I'm Lanlan's older brother, Lin Xuedong. From now on, you can call me Big Brother." Lin Xuedong had one hand in his trouser pocket and extended his right hand to shake hers.

He possessed an innate air of refined elegance and gentlemanly grace. His voice was gentle, and coupled with his handsome and dashing appearance, he had the charm to captivate anyone without any effort on his part.

Liu Sisi didn't dare to extend her hand. She just blushed and raised her hand to wave at him as a greeting. "Hello, Brother Lin, you can call me Sisi too."

"Brother, don't scare Sisi. We're not the people you usually associate with at your business establishment, there's no need for such a formal handshake." Lin Lan pouted and scolded him.

Liu Sisi wasn't used to interacting with strangers, especially men, let alone a handsome one. Before long, she shamelessly found an excuse to pull Lin Lan away and slipped away.

That night, Lin Xuedong gazed at the starry sky, lost in thought. He found himself thinking of that ordinary little girl.

Her smile, as if by magic, erased her ordinariness, making her exceptionally beautiful and refined, as warm as the sun. Her melodious, clear laughter flowed like a clear spring into the heart, bringing comfort and leaving a lasting impression.

Liu Sisi… he silently remembered her.

Later, because he needed to help Lin Lan with her enrollment, he knew that Liu Sisi was an outsider and lived on campus. So, almost without thinking, he encouraged Lin Lan to also live on campus and arranged for them to share a room.

Lin Xuedong, who always doted on his younger sister, took this opportunity to intentionally or unintentionally send things to the dormitory. He also frequently went to check on Liu Sisi and even subtly inquired about her whereabouts.

But Liu Sisi, with her simple and pure mind, seemed completely isolated from herself, unaffected by any electric shock.

She seemed solely focused on her studies and was frugal. Moreover, she was low-key, quiet, gentle, and reserved.

Although he frequently tried to curry favor with her, he rarely had the chance to get close to her. Perhaps only once or twice out of ten times would he successfully run into her, and even then, Lin Lan would be there with him.

Finally, during their sophomore year, during summer vacation, he got the news from Lin Lan. He learned that Liu Si wanted to do summer jobs to gain experience in preparation for graduation.

He naturally extended an olive branch, saying they were welcome to come to the Lin family as practice partners.

As a result, they successfully lured the young girl. They even very professionally taught her basic office skills.

Through work-related interactions, he saw a more comprehensive picture of Liu Sisi.

She has a positive and ambitious spirit. She is humble, listens to others' opinions, and integrates the experiences shared by others. She is simple-minded, clear-headed, and has strong execution skills, which has gradually developed into a kind of tenacity.

Perhaps, this is the result of unwavering courage born from a youthful spirit that knows no regrets.

But it was this resilience and composure that seemed to bathe her in a glow, captivating his gaze and holding his heart captive.

After graduation, she and Lin Lan officially joined Lin's Group, working in the marketing and promotion department. She watched as the naive and inexperienced young girl transformed into a capable and mature professional.

In the workplace, she is confident, composed, and adept. She is focused, meticulous, organized, and efficient in her work.

His interactions with her seemed to be limited to business matters. Only when he occasionally met up with Lin Lan did he have the chance to have a meal and chat with her.

She was gentle and quiet, easily embarrassed and blushing, which made him want to tease her. However, she was never very warm towards him, perhaps because their superior-subordinate relationship made her somewhat reserved.

Over time, he tempered his enthusiasm.

He didn't want to disturb her, wanting to give her space to focus on developing her talents. As long as she remained under his watchful eye, he could keep an eye on her quietly.

Until about half a year ago, he was pressured by his parents to get married, which made him particularly irritable. Coincidentally, at that time, Liu Sisi was promoted to manager of the foreign investment group through her hard work.

To celebrate her promotion, Lin Lan invited Liu Sisi to dinner.

They had been drinking, but Liu Sisi wasn't a heavy drinker. Through various business negotiations and social interactions, she had learned restraint and tact. Therefore, she only aimed to get by, putting on a show, and never got drunk and lost control.

But that night, she was overjoyed. Besides her promotion, she had also bought her own cozy little home. So, she was particularly relaxed, watching her and Lin Lan raise their glasses and drink heartily, their slightly tipsy appearance stirring ripples in Lin Xuedong's calm heart once again.

The two women chatted and laughed, and this was the first time he had seen Liu Sisi's playful and charming side.

That night, Lin Xuedong once again gazed at the starry sky, lost in thought.

He thought about how the woman had changed over the years; she was no longer that ordinary girl.

She has shed her youthful naiveté and donned a charming allure. But what remains unchanged is that she is still the woman hidden deep in her heart.

Eight years have passed. Lin Xuedong looked up at the twinkling stars in the night sky and fell into deep thought.

He chuckled softly, laughing at himself for being so devoted and long-lasting, and also at his own hesitation and indecisiveness in pursuing love.

He loves her, and he is willing to wait for her.

He didn't bother her when she was focused on her studies.

He didn't disturb her while she was working hard on her career.

For many days, he watched over her silently, offering support and assistance whenever she needed it.

Now that his peaches are ripe, he doesn't want to waste any more time.

Let him lead her to another stage of life. He will give her more... happiness, family, and love.

His thoughts returned, and Lin Xuedong picked up the bottle and took a large gulp of brandy. The pungent liquor went down his throat, but it couldn't erase the deep sorrow that lingered on his handsome face.

He mustered up the courage to confess his feelings to her by a small river in Country J. When they arrived at her apartment building, she blushed and agreed to date him.

He clearly remembers how excited and surging he felt at that moment!

From confessing his feelings to getting their marriage certificate, it only took him a few days. He wanted to make up for all the lost time.

However, how lucky he was! He finally succeeded and finally married her.

That night, in the glass house on the rooftop, he held her in his arms. He solemnly promised her that he would spend his life with her, sharing joys and sorrows, like a gentle stream flowing through his veins.

The scene shifts, and I'm reminded of that night on the Bund. They walked hand in hand in the cool breeze, how they longed to walk like that forever!

At that moment, he made a wish with a grateful heart that she would be with him for the rest of his life.

In countless passionate kisses, his love for her deepened to the bone. He could never forget her warmth and scent during those days.

Setting down the wine bottle, Lin Xuedong slowly got up from the corner. He dragged his sluggish steps to his desk, grabbed his phone and car keys, and turned to leave the CEO's office.

A white Bentley Continental GT sped along the quiet streets late at night. Reaching speeds of over 150 km/h, it emitted a constant roaring backfire, as if venting its anger on behalf of its owner.

Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at the foot of Deer Mountain.

Lin Xuedong gazed into the distance at the houses halfway up the mountain, his cheeks clenched tightly. He turned his wrist and glanced at the time on his watch: three in the morning.

That woman must have been asleep.

After much struggle, Lin Xuedong has decided to keep his affair with Lin Lan a secret forever and send Lin Lan abroad.

Because he can't afford to lose, and he can't bear to hurt the people he loves.

He should bear all the pain and suffering himself; it's what he deserves.

Lin Xuedong tightened his grip on the steering wheel and took a breath. He slammed on the gas, speeding up Deer Mountain...

In a corner outside the gate of Weiyun Tianfeng, a Maybach, hidden in the night, is understated and low-key, just like its owner.

Li Songze couldn't understand why he was still here, staring longingly at the unit on the roof.

The lights there remained on the whole time. Was she waiting for that man? And was he waiting out of worry, concern, or simply to be closer to her?

He didn't know, he just wanted to keep waiting.

Suddenly, a booming sound, like a fire blazing, came from afar and approached, arrogantly echoing across the mountainside.

He saw the white Bentley in his rearview mirror, winding its way up the mountain road. Its headlights shone with a blinding white light, adding to the car's menacing appearance.

He is back.

Li Songze watched the white Bentley drive into the underground parking lot, his expression slightly relieved.

Subconsciously, I felt that Lin Xuedong didn't seem like such a terrible man. He was sensible, and I could tell he cared about Liu Sisi.

Now that he's back, there's something we need to discuss openly. Whether he stays or leaves is none of my business.

Li Songze took one last deep look at the top-floor unit, then let out the bitter feeling that had been weighing on his heart, and slowly started the car...
