How many loves can be relived in the story of a devoted CEO pursuing his wife?
Chapter 146 The stars are in the sky, and you are in my heart.
The laundry room is located in a glass house on the rooftop. Actually, Aunt Fang, who comes to clean every day, is responsible for collecting the laundry, so the owners don't need to do it themselves.
But Liu Sisi just didn't want to stay with him. Since Wang Yue was on the first floor, she had no choice but to run to the rooftop.
She angrily threw down the dirty clothes and quickly washed her hands and face. She turned on the air conditioner, grabbed a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, and gulped it down. The cool water gently soothed her irritability and calmed her anxiety slightly.
She slumped back in the sofa, silently stretching her numb limbs, trying to calm her agitated emotions. Her porcelain-white face was turned towards the night sky, her thoughts racing.
The summer night sky, a deep blue, was so profound, with ethereal starlight. The bright moon moved through the clouds, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, appearing and disappearing, radiating a cold light.
It seemed to reflect her current state of mind, her self-perceived happiness. Little did she know, she was already trapped in this love triangle.
How ironic! During the day they were still embracing sweetly, she was learning to tie his tie, and she was reluctantly seeing him off to work.
That night, he delivered a devastating blow. It shattered her heart, leaving her terrified and disoriented, as if fleeing from a wild beast.
If she could, she really wanted to slam the door, rush to the parking lot, drive her own car, and go back to her little apartment.
All those sugar-coated traps and gentle advances are fake! They're all despicable tactics to deceive this naive woman!
Liu Sisi was very angry. She picked up the bottled water and continued to gulp it down. Calm down, she told herself to calm down as soon as possible.
Anger and impulsiveness are both devils. How to deal with them, how to face them—all these things require calming down before a solution can be found.
Looking at the flickering moonlight in the night sky, she forced herself to clear her mind. Even if she tilted her head, she couldn't figure it out. But that didn't matter; she still had tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the day after that.
The man is going on a business trip tomorrow, so she just needs to get through tonight. Therefore, despite feeling nauseous, she has to grit her teeth and bear it.
About half an hour later, the man came out of the bathroom after taking a bath. Not seeing the woman's figure, he was suspicious and frowned.
After searching both the first and second floors, Lin Xuedong finally found the rooftop.
Finally spotting that slender figure, he saw her sprawled lazily on the sofa, seemingly quite angry. Lin Xuedong couldn't help but smile; his little wife was upset. What to do?
Go and coax her!
He ruffled his damp, short hair, walked over, and chuckled. "Why aren't the lights on? Still angry?"
Liu Sisi paused at the sound, sat up, and looked up. She saw him looking in her direction, and although the lights were off, she could still clearly feel his intense gaze in the darkness.
She turned her face away somewhat awkwardly, then sat up from the sofa and said against her will, "No."
She was clearly still angry. Lin Xuedong pursed his lips and sat down beside her. Then, quite naturally, he reached out and pulled her into his arms.
The air was filled with the scent of a woman's hair, a few strands of which moved with the breeze from the air conditioner, brushing against his cheek like soft feathers, stirring his heartstrings. A whole day apart, a whole day of longing, was instantly ignited.
"Sisi~." His thin lips gently kissed the woman's hair, murmuring her name with deep affection.
Liu Sisi's throat tightened. How much of his words were genuine, and how much were feigned?
When he was with Lin Lan, and he called her name tenderly and affectionately, did he ever think about himself?
She swallowed hard, trying to remain calm. "It's getting late. You have a business trip tomorrow. Let's go back to our room and rest."
"My hair isn't dry yet, no rush. Let's chat, okay?"
Lin Xuedong didn't let go of her; instead, he pulled her close and they leaned against the back of the sofa. Looking up at the night sky, he sighed inwardly, thinking that this was what he had always dreamed of: his beloved wife in his arms, accompanied by the stars and the moon.
"How's it going being Mrs. Lin all day?" A faint smile played on his lips, his mood light and cheerful.
Liu Sisi gave a wry smile, unwilling to say more, and replied perfunctorily, "It's alright."
"Then why are you so downcast?" Although the lights were off, Lin Xuedong could still sense that she was preoccupied.
It's a bit strange. When I called her this afternoon, she was quite clingy. I usually tease her a lot, so why is she so down and listless tonight?
He lifted her chin, his gaze fixed intently on her, his voice deep and magnetic. "Are you overthinking things again?"
She looked up at him, her heart filled with complex emotions. Their eyes flickered slightly in the darkness, and the moment their eyes met, space seemed to freeze, and the air itself seemed to solidify.
Liu Sisi had to admit that she loved this man. His eyes, his voice, his manner of speaking, his embrace... everything about him deeply attracted her and tugged at her heartstrings.
It wasn't that she couldn't avoid it or let go. It was that she was unwilling and couldn't bear to.
"Do you want to know?" She struggled slightly, her tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.
Lin Xuedong frowned slightly, seemingly sensing her unusual expression. He suppressed his smile, straightened her up, and nodded seriously.
"Isn't it because you're going on another business trip with Zeng Ziyan?" She didn't expose his clumsy lie, but instead cleverly used Zeng Ziyan as a pretext.
Listen to that, those words sound so sour, yet they made Lin Xuedong secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
He smiled slightly, his magnetic voice, tinged with affection, parting his thin lips. "Jealous again? We're going on business. If you don't trust me, why don't you come along and see?"
"If your heart has wandered off, what's the point of me following you?" She pouted, her words tinged with a hint of jealousy and grievance, as if she were implying something.
"Oh my, Mrs. Lin's presence is not to be underestimated! With such a sharp tongue, how could I dare to be presumptuous?" He had to admit, the tenderness of this young woman captivated him. His handsome face was filled with delight, and he began to fawn over her.
Liu Sisi glared at him and said sarcastically, "Who knows?"
Lin Xuedong looked at her, his eyes flickering. Her jealous expression, shrouded in the night, was exceptionally beautiful, making his heart flutter.
"Wife, do you know the difference between you and the stars?" He smiled, then pointed to the stars in the night sky and asked.
Liu Sisi looked up at the night sky following his pointing finger. The clouds were thick tonight, making the starlight appear somewhat ethereal. After a while, she looked away, then glanced at Lin Xuedong impatiently and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Lin Xuedong maintained his gentle smile, gently lifted her chin, leaned down, and lightly pecked her pink lips. He said, "The stars are in the sky, and you are in my heart."
Liu Sisi's heart skipped a beat. She kept telling herself not to believe it, that it was all fake!
But that vibrant heart beats like a deer encountering a stream. Every pore on its body opens up, as full of life as a sun-drenched flower, completely out of its control.
My face flushed, my emotions were in turmoil, and my thoughts were torn...
Just as she was struggling with her thoughts, a warm, soft touch enveloped her. She stared wide-eyed at the handsome face so close to hers, and suddenly jumped back half a beat.
The man's eyes were closed, his long eyelashes trembling slightly with his breath. The familiar scent that invaded her senses made her feel helpless.
No! I can't! I can't fall for his tricks again; he just kissed another woman.
"Mmm..." Liu Sisi held her breath and clenched her teeth, refusing his tongue's probing. She also propped herself up with her arms to block his strong body from getting closer.
Lin Xuedong stepped back, squinting as he saw the woman's reluctant, coy, and embarrassed expression. A slight smile unconsciously crept onto his lips. Why was his wife being so amusing tonight? How could he possibly let her get away with this?
"Be good, close your eyes and let me kiss you." His voice was as gentle as a soft evening breeze, caressing Liu Sisi's face and making her feel intoxicated.
Then, he raised his hand and hooked the back of her head, deepening the kiss. He poured all the longing he had felt throughout the day into this passionate and tender kiss.
You retreat, he chases; you dodge, he pursues; the more a woman struggles, the more he won't let go.
Liu Sisi was overwhelmed by his kisses, her mind and body in turmoil. In the end, she was left disheveled, unable to resist his tenderness and affection.
The kiss grew increasingly bittersweet, and tears streamed down their faces without warning, wetting their tightly pressed lips.
"Sisi." Lin Xuedong was startled when he tasted the salty and bitter flavor. He slowly released her, and saw a hint of hurt flash in the woman's eyes in his dark eyes.
He narrowed his eyes, tightened his arms around Liu Sisi, pulling her into a tight embrace, and whispered comfortingly, "Why are you crying again?"
Liu Sisi felt as if her heart had been scratched hard by a cat; her gaze fell on the garden outside the glass house. Why was she crying?
She really wanted to ask, "Why did you hide your relationship with Lin Lan from me?"
Can I ask? Clearly, she didn't dare ask.
I'm afraid of the bubble bursting, afraid of losing him.
"I'm in your heart, that's touching." She said it casually, but her heart was breaking, and tears streamed down her face.
"Silly girl, don't overthink it. You've always been in my heart, only you." Lin Xuedong coaxed her affectionately, gently patting her back with his large hand.
Only her.
Liu Sisi closed her eyes, wanting only to let the tears that were refusing to come flow as quickly as possible. She longed for tomorrow to arrive, for she no longer wanted to feign affection for this man.
She must remain vigilant and not let herself fall into infatuation again. Once she discerns more clues, she will be able to make a decisive move.
"Let's go back, I'm tired."
"Ah."
That night, Liu Sisi used exhaustion as an excuse to avoid the man's advances. But she slept in Lin Xuedong's arms all night long.
