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

After an unknown amount of time, steady footsteps sounded outside the door.

Liu Sisi was startled. When she was home alone, she was used to keeping the door half-closed so that she could be aware of any movement outside.

She quickly wiped away her tears with her hands behind her back and pretended to be asleep with her eyes tightly closed. Her heart, however, was pounding wildly, filled with extreme panic.

She didn't want Lin Xuedong to notice her emotional changes because she hadn't figured out how to face this husband who was no longer wholeheartedly devoted to her.

When Lin Xuedong entered the room, he saw a petite figure curled up on one side of the large bed, lying quietly with her back to him. A warm feeling washed over him, and he smiled slightly, taking long, slender steps to approach the bedside.

As the footsteps drew closer, Liu Sisi dared not even breathe, her fingers clenched into fists under the covers.

Suddenly, that tall figure sat down beside her bed, causing the bed to sag. This sudden movement made Liu Sisi frown uncomfortably; she could no longer maintain her composure.

"Wife." Lin Xuedong reached out and rubbed her head, then gently called her name.

Upon hearing the sound, Liu Sisi pretended to stretch and yawn. She covered her mouth, half-closed her eyes, and peeked at him through the slits, her voice a little hoarse as she lazily asked, "You're back?"

"Mmm." Lin Xuedong looked at her lazy cat-like posture, his heart stirred, and he couldn't help but lean down to kiss her.

"Disgusting!" Liu Sisi stared wide-eyed, reaching out to block him. She blinked, looking at him with disgust, and whispered sharply, "You reek of cigarette smoke!"

She had just gotten off another woman and didn't want him to touch her again!

Lin Xuedong, seeing the woman's disdainful look, didn't get angry but instead smiled, because in his opinion, she was just being coquettish. She was putting on airs for him, and his heart softened completely.

She lifted her eyelids to look at the man, noticing the weariness in his brows, but the tender affection in his eyes remained undiminished. Liu Sisi's heart suddenly ached, and a complex emotion flashed across her eyes.

"What are you laughing at?" Liu Sisi felt confused by his stare. But not wanting to be trapped by him, she urged, "Go wash up."

"Um, would you mind having Mrs. Lin serve me? Is that alright?" Lin Xuedong, who had been wearing a slight smile, reached out to help her up.

She looked away, her smile somewhat forced. Her emotions were indescribably complex. She averted her gaze and said, "But I'm asleep."

Before he could respond, she turned her back to him, seemingly expressing her displeasure at being woken up for no reason.

"Wife, Sisi." The man shamelessly reached out and pressed down on her bulging buttocks, trying to turn her whole body around.

Liu Sisi was pulled halfway around, staring at him with a look of utter despair. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly with the rising and falling breaths.

She used all her strength to suppress the urge to question him, making her voice sound as normal as possible. "Do you really want me to get up?"

Lin Xuedong nodded with a pitiful expression, then leaned down domineeringly, stretched out his arms, and lifted Liu Sisi's entire upper body, pulling her into his embrace. His chin rested on her shoulder; the delicate fragrance of her body after her bath was intoxicating.

My heart is full, like finding a peaceful haven amidst the hustle and bustle. "Wife, I miss you so much."

"..."

And so it happened again; his embrace and gentle words stirred her heartstrings once more. She nestled in his warm embrace, biting her lip tightly to keep herself from getting too excited.

They both fell silent, and the bedroom suddenly became quiet. They listened to each other's heartbeats and breathing, which were exceptionally clear in the stillness of the room. It was as if only in this way could they draw strength from this moment of peace.

After a while, Liu Sisi was the first to give in.

She pushed him away, lowering her eyelids to avoid looking at his expression, and said, "I... I'll go help you turn off the water, you wait here."

Lin Xuedong didn't take it seriously, knowing she was shy, so he gave up his seat and chuckled. "Okay."

Liu Sisi didn't dawdle. She lifted the covers, stepped over him, and got out of bed. Slipping on her Stitch slippers, she didn't even glance at Lin Xuedong before hurrying to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Liu Sisi squatted beside the huge jacuzzi. Watching the white water flow gently, she lost herself in thought.

She couldn't bear the torment of this rollercoaster of emotions, knowing full well that he also harbored feelings for another woman, and fearing that even the little place she held in his heart would be taken away, so she forced a smile. This wasn't herself; she truly didn't want to continue this pretense.

But she was afraid, and no one could understand her fear. Perhaps, even she herself didn't understand what she was afraid of—was it the fear of losing him?

Maybe so, but if a man's heart isn't in it, then let him go! There's nothing to regret. To make things difficult for yourself is such a waste, isn't it?

That's what she said, but she just couldn't do it; she couldn't let go.

In that instant, Liu Sisi was overwhelmed with a thousand and one worries, and she sighed softly from time to time, seemingly lost in thought. So much so that the man leaning against the bathroom door, watching her for quite some time, didn't even notice.

"Are you really that unwilling to serve your husband?" Lin Xuedong thought she was just sulking because she was woken up, so he raised his eyebrows, pretended to laugh, and mocked her.

"Ah!" Liu Sisi was suddenly startled and exclaimed. Then she pressed her chest and turned her head, staring in astonishment at the culprit.

The man had already darted behind her in a few strides, his handsome brows furrowed slightly, and he helped her up with a worried expression, asking apologetically, "What were you thinking about? You were so distracted."

Blame her? Who was it that stood behind her without saying a word, threatening her?!

Perhaps because she had been squatting for too long, her legs felt weak when Lin Xuedong helped her up. She was also a little dizzy, so her hands instinctively gripped his sleeves.

Lin Xuedong tightened his grip on her slender waist, making sure she stood firmly, and couldn't resist teasing her a bit. "Mrs. Lin likes this kind of throwing herself into my arms, hmm?"

Liu Sisi was furious. She lifted her eyelids and moved her gaze upward from his chest. His fair skin was exposed at the unbuttoned collar, revealing his sexy Adam's apple and collarbone.

Looking further up, one sees his strong jawline, thin lips, straight nose, deep, bright black eyes, and bold, expressive eyebrows... Although a hint of fatigue lingers in his eyes, it does not diminish his handsome appearance.

Her gaze finally settled on his deep, dark eyes, which overflowed with tender affection. Looking at him, her heart fluttered uncontrollably, pounding like a deer's.

The next second, another wave of bitterness welled up in her heart, making Liu Sisi's eyes glisten with tears. She gripped his arms tightly with both hands, pretending to say, "You're the one who bullied me."

Lin Xuedong suddenly smiled, a confident smile on his face. "Hehe~, wife. Didn't you fight back, did you?"

"I... I didn't?" She was stunned, her watery eyes, like those of a fawn, filled with tears, staring at him blankly.

Lin Xuedong took her hand and pressed it against his left atrium. He pursed his lips, his narrow eyes almost slits, and with a gentle smile, said earnestly, "Who said it's gone? You touch my heart every single day!"

Liu Sisi's heart skipped a beat. She pressed her hand against his heart, as if touching a hot potato, unable to shake it off.

He can still brazenly flirt with people right in front of his own face, without even flinching!

Her fingers curled slightly as Liu Sisi kept telling herself not to fall for it. So she bit her lip and remained silent.

For men, her stunned, biting-lip look, soft and adorable, was undoubtedly the ultimate temptation.

Lin Xuedong grabbed her hand and stole a kiss. Knowing that the young woman was shy, he wasn't in a hurry to give in, otherwise he would have pounced on her without hesitation.

He seized the opportunity with a roguish grin, saying, "Wife, help me bathe and change."

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised the corners of his mouth, slightly lifted his chin, and opened his arms, just like an ancient emperor waiting for his concubines to serve him.

Look at those words... how lightly and arrogantly they're spoken!

Liu Sisi pouted, seething with anger.

The man spread his arms, blocking her way, so she glared at him fiercely. Then, dejected, she raised her hand and began to unbutton his white shirt one button at a time.

Just as she unbuttoned the second button, she suddenly noticed a long strand of hair wrapped around it. It was a woman's hair dyed dark brown, while her own was jet black and undyed. So, it was... Lin Lan's?!

That means, just an hour ago, he was holding another woman close in his arms. So intimately! How could he?! How could he, an hour later, shamelessly embrace himself like this?

boom---!

Her hand trembled suddenly, just like her heart; a chill rose from the depths of her heart and spread to every part of her body.

Her fingers trembled uncontrollably, and her breathing became erratic. She knew she was already very emotional and on the verge of collapse.

Still basking in his newfound favor, the man failed to notice the woman's unusual behavior. At most, he assumed she was just being petulant and throwing a tantrum. He considered it nothing more than playful banter between husband and wife, a source of amusement and no harm in it.

Liu Sisi desperately tried to suppress her surging anger, closed her eyes, and quickened her pace, tearing off the man's clothes in a disorganized manner.

Then she scooped up the pile of dirty clothes, shoved him aside with her arm, and coldly said, "You're filthy, go wash up."

Before the man could react, she had already fled the bathroom.

Clutching the pile of dirty clothes, she ran frantically towards the rooftop. It was too painful; she simply couldn't bear it.

What should I do? Can anyone advise her?

As Liu Sisi ran, she shouted inwardly. Tears streamed down her face like broken beads, dripping onto the clothes in her arms.

The man in the bathroom looked bewildered. Was the woman angry?

His dark eyes swept over her body from head to toe. Completely naked, or perhaps she was just shy?

Lin Xuedong shook his head and chuckled twice. Completely unaware that the woman he loved was heartbroken and weeping because of him.

He lifted his foot and nonchalantly stepped into the jacuzzi...
