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

"Sisi? Lanlan?" Just as Liu Sisi was about to continue investigating, a gentle and clear male voice sounded above her head. "Sorry, there was a bit of traffic on the way."

Liu Sisi looked up and saw Du Zhentao, who always had a gentle smile on his face.

"Hi, long time no see, have a seat." She greeted him with a smile.

"Tao, long time no see. We just arrived and just ordered our food." Lin Lan composed herself and said with a smile.

Du Zhentao smiled, took off his suit jacket, and sat down. "Yeah, it's been a month since we last saw each other. Sisi seems fine."

He raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Lan. "Lanlan...you've gained weight?"

"Is there?" Lin Lan quickly lowered her eyes and looked herself up and down.

"A little bit, but it's alright, no need to be nervous." Du Zhentao poured tea for the two ladies with great poise.

"Maybe it's because I've been resting at home for a month due to my foot injury, and I've gained weight," Lin Lan pouted unhappily.

Du Zhentao subconsciously leaned back, his eyes glancing at her legs and feet. "How's the injury on your foot now?"

"It's alright, I can still fly to Paris next Monday. What a coincidence, this meal is just in time to send me off!" Lin Lan replied with a smile that curved her eyes.

"Hmm? You're going on vacation?"

"I guess so," Lin Lan glanced at Liu Sisi and replied.

"Hmm, not bad! Well then, I wish you a pleasant and safe journey." Du Zhentao raised his teacup, toasted them, and then took a few sips of green tea.

"Thank you." Lin Lan also picked up her teacup and began to sip her tea.

Liu Sisi didn't say anything, just smiled and took a few sips of tea.

As they talked, the food they had ordered was served one after another. Watching the sizzling Wagyu beef grilling on the grill, its aroma filling the air, gradually lifted everyone's spirits.

Du Zhentao took the initiative to serve the two ladies, handing them each a piece of cooked meat.

Liu Sisi was the first to put the piece of meat into her mouth. Hmm, delicious food could cure her puzzled mood.

She covered her mouth as she chewed, giving a thumbs-up and muttering, "This is good, this is good!"

"Okay, I'll give you an extra piece." Du Zhentao smiled and picked up another piece of grilled meat for her.

Seeing that Liu Sisi was eating with relish, Lin Lan also picked up her chopsticks and put some meat from her bowl into her mouth.

Just as it reached her lips, a strong, meaty aroma suddenly filled her nostrils. A wave of intense nausea made Lin Lan immediately cover her mouth and gag a few times.

"What's wrong, Lanlan?" Du Zhentao had just put the barbecue in his mouth and hadn't even had time to chew when he noticed Lin Lan's unusual expression and asked with concern.

Liu Sisi also looked up at her, but didn't say anything.

"Wow, this is incredibly crispy, how come you're still eating it with such relish?" Lin Lan endured the wave of nausea, spat the piece of meat out of her mouth, and frowned in disgust.

Du Zhentao frowned slightly and deliberately chewed the roasted meat in his mouth twice with great force. The meat juices were fragrant and left a lingering aroma in his mouth, and he didn't notice anything unusual.

He exchanged glances with Liu Sisi, and after confirming their connection, he turned to Lin Lan. He shrugged, pouted, and said, "This meat is fine, it actually smells quite good."

"Oh, really?" Lin Lan pursed her lips, downed a whole cup of green tea, and put the cup down before speaking. "It's probably because I've been recuperating at home this month, and the nanny has been cooking bland food. This... is a bit greasy, I'm not used to it."

"How about you order something lighter? Pickles, salads, sushi, or something like that?" Liu Sisi suggested.

"Okay, you guys eat first, don't worry about me."

As a result, after this little incident, Lin Lan ordered some more food that she could eat. The delicious roast meat, however, ended up in the bellies of Du Zhentao and Liu Sisi.

During the meal, Du Zhentao's witty and humorous conversation temporarily silenced the silent rivalry between the two women.

During the chat, Liu Sisi revealed that she had resigned from Lin's company and was temporarily out of work. This news surprised Lin Lan for a while. Why would Lin Xuedong send Liu Sisi away?

Du Zhentao was also quite surprised. Why would someone so hardworking and talented suddenly stop? He asked, puzzled, "So what are your plans? Will you look for another job?"

"I don't have any plans yet. I'll rest for a while and see. I was under too much pressure recently, and my body is a bit out of balance." Liu Sisi said softly, her head down, poking at the salad in her bowl with her chopsticks.

"Oh, is there anything I can do to help?" Du Zhentao asked with a smile, his thick eyebrows raised in a gentle and kind manner, curved like a bright crescent moon in the night sky.

Liu Sisi looked up at him, his words warming her heart. But there was nothing she really needed his help with, so she shook her head and smiled sweetly, saying, "Just need some rest."

Lin Lan remained silent, somewhat confused about Lin Xuedong's intentions.

She and Liu Sisi, one exiled overseas, the other hiding in the shadows. Wouldn't that mean Zeng Ziyan would be all the rage?

"Well, Lanlan isn't in S City. If you can't find anyone to talk to, remember I'm here for you. I'm pretty professional, and I have a good reputation." He glanced at Liu Sisi and offered his services.

"Hehe, of course I remember, it was even free!" Liu Sisi glanced at him and chuckled. "I'm just a bit off, not depressed."

"Oh dear, Sisi. When I'm not around, you really don't have a single friend you can talk to. It's good to have Atao looking after you, so you don't overthink things all the time," Lin Lan chimed in.

Looking at Du Zhentao, she glanced at Liu Sisi out of the corner of her eye, thinking that it would be beneficial for her to bring the two together. "With your personality, won't you suffocate if you stay at home all day without a job?"

"I'll still consider work, but I'll take some time to recover before deciding. Don't worry too much, I know what I'm doing." Liu Sisi glanced at Du Zhentao, then at Lin Lan, nodded to them, and forced a gentle smile.

A flicker of light crossed Du Zhentao's bright eyes. His sharp mind told him that the matter was most likely related to Lin Xuedong. He smiled faintly, pursing his lips, and said nothing more.

They ate, drank, and chatted, and before they knew it, it was ten o'clock.

Finally, Du Zhentao paid the bill. When they parted, Lin Lan, just like last time, strongly urged Du Zhentao to take Liu Sisi home. Liu Sisi tried to refuse several times but failed, and finally got into Du Zhentao's Cayenne.

"Hey, wait a minute." As Du Zhentao was entering the address into the navigation, Liu Sisi reached out and stopped him.

Du Zhentao turned his head to look at her, smiled, and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"I... I live on Lushan Road now." Liu Sisi's face flushed red, and even in the dim light, she couldn't hide her embarrassment.

Du Zhentao was taken aback for a moment, then seemed to understand something, smiled, and asked again, "Where is Lushan Road?"

"Actually, I think I can just take the bus back, which will save you the trouble of making the trip." Liu Sisi shyly brushed the stray hairs from her ear and cheek, her head lowered, her voice soft and a little embarrassed.

"That wouldn't be good. Since you're already in the car, there's no reason not to take you home. It's alright, the wheels are still moving." Du Zhentao sat up straight, ignored the navigation, and started the car.

Liu Sisi was speechless for a moment. After the car stopped at the traffic light, she murmured, "I live in Azure Sky Peak now."

Du Zhentao narrowed his eyes slightly, said nothing, and simply reached out to set the navigation. After the light turned green, he stepped on the gas, and the Cayenne sped off, smoothly and nimbly heading towards Azure Sky Peak along the route.

After walking for quite a while, Du Zhentao broke the silence first. "You, you're with him?"

It wasn't that he was impatient, but rather that he sensed the repression in Liu Sisi's heart. Just as Lin Lan had said, now that she had lost her job and was being...hidden away, it was no wonder she felt depressed.

Worried that keeping everything bottled up inside would gradually lead to low self-esteem and a loss of confidence in people and things, he decided to open up and discuss the issues with her.

Liu Sisi glanced at him sideways. She wasn't working at Lin's anymore, and Lin Xuedong had publicly acknowledged her as his girlfriend. She had an inexplicable trust in Du Zhentao, so she didn't intend to hide it from him.

"Yes, he's planning his wedding." She nodded, admitting it frankly.

Du Zhentao looked up and glanced at Liu Sisi in the rearview mirror, his heart calm.

Now, he's just a friend to her, and he can see that Lin Xuedong cares about her a lot. So, it's only natural for the two of them to be together.

Then she smiled again and said, "That's great! Congratulations! You're no longer single, while I'm still adrift in this sea of ​​people, not knowing how long I'll be left alone."

Liu Sisi looked ahead again, chuckled softly, and sighed, "Thank you. Fate is truly a wondrous thing. You're a very nice person; you'll definitely meet a good girl in the future."

"Hehe, that doesn't sound very useful," Du Zhentao said sarcastically as he drove.

"Then what should I do? The only person I can talk to is Lanlan. Why don't you... consider it?" Liu Sisi glanced at him, her eyes shimmering with the light from the opposite lamplight outside the window.

"Heh, you certainly have the leisure for that?"

"So, do you have feelings for Lanlan?"

"Really, no." Du Zhentao was left speechless, both amused and exasperated.

"Why not? Lanlan is great. She's cheerful and fun, unlike me, who's such a dullard."

"Well, being friends is fine. But as for being lovers, maybe it's because of her family background, which is just too much. I have no intention of trying to climb the social ladder." Du Zhentao shrugged. He had a good impression of Lin Lan, but he wasn't interested in her.

On the contrary, regarding Liu Sisi… he glanced at the woman in the rearview mirror again. He had feelings for Liu Sisi and admired her resilience in establishing herself in the big city alone.

This woman is excellent, ambitious, gentle, and quiet. The two aren't too far apart in terms of personality, so they should get along quite well.

Unfortunately, she already had someone she loved, so he could only smile and offer his blessings.

Du Zhentao is rational; when he goes on blind dates, he values ​​the other person's background, personality, and compatibility.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you if I get the chance. Don't be discouraged." Liu Sisi didn't want to force things; trying too hard to matchmake would only make people more annoyed. She had also suffered greatly at the hands of Zeng Meiyu before, and she knew that matters of the heart depended on mutual understanding and fate.

"Hehe, okay!" Du Zhentao always has a gentle smile on his face, which makes people feel warm and comfortable.
