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

In the car, Liu Sisi was looking through her phone. She instructed Xiaobai to prepare for the handover in a little while.

Seeing Xiaobai's bunch of complaining emojis, saying why she abandoned him again and that she had no humanity when it came to men, I couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Lin Xuedong asked, glancing at her sideways as he drove.

Liu Sisi shook her head and smiled helplessly. "Xiaobai is complaining about me."

"I promoted her and gave her a raise, what's there to complain about?" Lin Xuedong asked, raising his thick, handsome eyebrows. She had been promoted from assistant secretary to project director's secretary, and her salary had increased by 25%.

“Then I should thank President Lin on behalf of Xiaobai for the promotion.” Liu Sisi glanced at him and said with emotion. “Xiaobai and I have worked together for 4 years, and I’m really going to miss him.”

"Then come check on me more often in the future, and it would be good to visit my old subordinates as well." He shrugged, speaking frankly and openly.

"Checking up on you?" Liu Sisi looked at his innocent smile and scoffed. "You're so busy, how could I possibly bother you?"

"Hehe, Sisi, I'm still looking forward to it." Lin Xuedong chuckled.

Liu Sisi ignored him and continued checking her phone. Suddenly, she saw a message from Li Songze, brief yet warming her heart.

"fine?"

"Are you alright?" she asked herself. He seemed fine, she thought, glancing instinctively at her husband.

A man of exceptionally handsome appearance, elegant demeanor, and refined temperament. He is gentle, considerate, and extremely caring towards her.

At first glance, he seems like the perfect husband that everyone would want.

He was a man of deep thoughts, and she couldn't fathom how much of his affection he reserved for her, which made her insecure.

A faint hint of self-mockery and sadness flickered in her eyes as she subtly turned her gaze back to her phone.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Mr. Li."

She said she was fine!

The man on the other end of the message stood with his hands behind his back, his tall and strong figure towering before the floor-to-ceiling glass window. His deep, dark eyes gazed at the city sunlight outside, exuding an air of profound loneliness and desolation.

Her heartbroken and haggard face from last night flashed through my mind, along with the suppressed pain on her face. My heart felt like it was being gripped and torn apart by something.

Have they made up?

Li Songze pursed his lips, his jawline tightening, making him appear exceptionally cold and hard. His hands clenched into fists, he pondered for a long time, then sighed deeply, his eyes filled with dejection and sadness.

Hopefully it's just a misunderstanding. Lin Xuedong, you'd better hold on tight and cherish this opportunity, otherwise...

Liu Sisi returned to the company at 11:00 AM. She took Xiaobai with her to hand over her work to Zhou Zhichen. At noon, they went out for lunch together as a farewell.

"Sisi, what are your plans for the future?" Zhou Zhichen looked at Liu Sisi meaningfully, feeling sorry for her.

Because along the way, he knew that Liu Sisi was actually a very practical and positive girl. Since she started dating Lin Xuedong, many of her shining qualities seemed to have been overshadowed.

"Nothing special, I'll rest and recuperate for a while before making any plans," Liu Sisi said with a slight blush and a faint smile.

Xiao Bai squinted, leaned closer, and asked with a gossipy look, "Sisi, are you and President Lin's wedding day approaching?"

"No, don't make wild guesses." Liu Sisi dodged for a moment. She was really uncomfortable making her private matters public.

She glanced at Zhou Zhichen and composed herself. For example, when she and he were together, they weren't so high-profile. Now that they've separated, it won't cause too much inconvenience or trouble.

Zhou Zhichen also looked at her, his eyes somewhat complicated, seemingly conveying the message that she should take care of herself.

She smiled, poured Zhou Zhichen a cup of hot tea, and said generously, "Director Zhou, congratulations on your promotion to Engineering Director of the 5G project. I'll offer this tea in lieu of wine as a wish for your successful research and development, and may you achieve even greater success!"

"Thank you, and please take good care of yourself," Zhou Zhichen said earnestly, taking a sip of tea.

They've known each other for six or seven years, from university to Lin's company. Although they've been separated for three years, they've been working together and seeing each other all the time, so the thought of parting ways is really hard to adjust to.

"Sisi, I've been miserable since you left. How can you always be so heartless as to abandon me?" Xiaobai muttered. She had finally managed to get to the CEO's office, but now, less than a month later, she'd been thrown back into the R&D department.

"How bad is it? I heard that wages have increased quite a bit!" Liu Sisi rolled her eyes at her and said sarcastically.

"Hehe, talking about that is so cliché. We have feelings for each other, we've struggled together for years, and now that we're going our separate ways, it feels so empty. Isn't that tragic?" Xiao Bai chuckled. A raise is certainly something to be happy about. What every working person wants is a promotion, a raise, and advancement.

"Nothing to show for it?" Liu Sisi couldn't help but laugh out loud, turning to Zhou Zhichen and deliberately raising her eyebrows. "Hehe, Director Zhou, Xiaobai is quite diligent. I'll have to trouble you to train her in the future. I think the details of the 5G project are quite demanding, but she can handle it."

"Liu Sisi, how can you be so treacherous?" Xiao Bai suddenly sat up straight, her voice rising slightly in tension. Then she looked at Zhou Zhichen obsequiously and said, "Director Zhou, she was just joking. You can handle it as you see fit."

Zhou Zhichen watched them bickering, a smile playing on his lips. He narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and said, "It's all within the normal range."

"Okay, that's good." Xiaobai nodded in relief.

Then, as if remembering something, she said to Liu Sisi, "President Lin has entrusted the development project of Hengzhou 5G Smart City to Zeng Ziyan. Did you know that?"

Liu Sisi was taken aback. Sure enough...

She lowered her eyes, her expression unchanged, and said in a relatively calm voice, "I don't know, but she's quite suitable."

Seeing her calm and composed reaction, Xiao Bai grew anxious and didn't even notice Zhou Zhichen present. "From now on, the president's office will be her domain. You're gone, and even Miss Lin is gone. Sigh..."

Miss Lin is gone too?!

Xiao Bai's news was like a thunderclap, startling Liu Sisi.

She looked up at Xiaobai with a stunned gaze, her voice trembling slightly. "What did you say? Lanlan left too? When did that happen?"

"Hey, I just happened to overhear Assistant Xiao on the phone. He's arranging a European trip for Miss Lin. It seems like he's in a rush; it must be a spur-of-the-moment decision for Miss Lin. She's so demanding!" Xiao Bai felt sorry for Assistant Xiao, always on call and needing to react incredibly quickly. He's always dealing with endless things; it's not easy. "No wonder he hasn't been to work for weeks. Turns out he's been having a great time. Money talks!"

"Oh, I don't really know about this either," Liu Sisi replied perfunctorily, but her heart sank to the bottom.

He hid Lin Lan too? While Zeng Ziyan's threat was overt, Lin Lan's presence in the shadows made her incredibly difficult to guard against!

After lunch, back at the company, Liu Sisi took Xiaobai for another walk around the legal department and Lin's Construction.

In fact, the cooperation plan for 5G autonomous driving devices has just begun, and Liu Sisi has listed every detail clearly. She keeps a tight grip on every project schedule, which is her usual style, leaving no stone unturned.

Therefore, the handover between Xiaobai and Zhou Zhichen went relatively smoothly overall.

Not getting enough rest last night, and then being tormented by Lin Xuedong this morning. After parting ways with Xiaobai, Liu Sisi rubbed her throbbing temples, wanting to go to the break room to make a cup of tea to relieve her fatigue.

Just as she turned the corner, sarcastic and scathing words came from the break room, and she abruptly stopped in her tracks.

"Oh dear, why did Secretary Liu suddenly stop working all of a sudden?"

"I bet she's been taken in by President Lin and is being kept as a mistress."

"I never would have guessed. She's usually so aloof and indifferent. I wonder what seductive tricks she used to get into Mr. Lin's bed behind his back? She'll be a toad for a second when men get tired of her!"

"Pshaw! She's way inferior to Assistant Zeng. I wonder what kind of sweet talk she gave President Lin."

"In my opinion, President Lin might be hiding her away to avoid upsetting Assistant Zeng. Out of sight, out of mind."

"Yes, yes, for wealthy and powerful families, one person in the open is enough. Hiding three or four doesn't matter. But Assistant Zeng is being treated too unfairly. Sigh~."

"Now that Secretary Liu is gone, isn't it quieter here?"

"Actually, Assistant Zeng is quite good! His background and looks are a perfect match for President Lin; they're a prince and princess. They went out to meet each other's parents at noon; Chairman Lin and Chairman Zeng both went. They're practically family. What is Liu Sisi anyway? She's utterly clueless!"

Liu Sisi gripped the handle of the cup tightly, gave a cold laugh, and turned to walk back.

Whispers, slander, and jealousy filled the office daily. Even as she was about to leave, these gossips and disturbances didn't cease.

Should she be grateful for the man's affection, which brought her so much gossip? Or should she be thankful for her easygoing nature? She never liked gossiping about other people's affairs, and she disdained jealousy and rivalry.

But when you become the target of public criticism, being judged, and even slandered and defamed, it would be a lie to say you don't mind. You feel terrible, absolutely awful.

Back in her office, she fell into deep thought again.

Recalling Lin Xuedong's handsome, thick eyebrows furrowed, and the guilt and sadness emanating from his deep eyes, she couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.

This man seems to have a lot going on lately. He already has a lot going on at work. Now he has to juggle things between her and Zeng Ziyan. Doesn't he get annoyed?

Liu Sisi racked her brains but couldn't figure it out. How should she deal with herself, or even fight back?

"Ring ring." Just as she was about to lose her temper, the internal phone rang.

She took the phone, her pink lips slightly parted. "Hello, this is..."

"Sisi, it's me. Come into my office." It was Lin Xuedong.
