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

On the way back, Lin Xuedong told her about the honeymoon arrangements.

He told her to pack her luggage beforehand, but he remained secretive about the location.

The wedding ring and suit were made in advance, as he wanted to surprise her.

Then, I told her about some things happening at the company. I made her realize how busy I'd been, working non-stop, to make time for my honeymoon.

He also reassured her not to worry too much and not to overthink things.

The following day, Wang Yue took a day off.

So the two spent most of the day together, enjoying a long-awaited time alone. They stayed at home, cozy and sweet, without any disturbances or fuss.

In the morning, Lin Xuedong stayed home with Liu Sisi while she exercised. At noon, he personally prepared seafood pasta. In the afternoon, he stayed home and watched a movie until four o'clock before going out.

"Sisi, I'm sorry, I'll rush back as soon as the dinner is over. If it's too late, you should go to sleep first." Before leaving, Lin Xuedong hugged his wife for a while, feeling reluctant to part with her, and said with a guilty look.

Liu Sisi gently straightened his collar and tie, which she had tied in a half-warm knot for him, and it looked really good on him. "Okay, you go ahead and do your business, I'm fine."

Lin Xuedong kissed her forehead one last time, and then sighed deeply after leaving the house.

Whenever he had to secretly meet Lin Lan, he felt incredibly heavy-hearted and depressed.

Hopefully, these feelings of guilt will lessen with Lin Lan's departure.

In the study of the Lin family mansion, Lin Zhicheng sipped his tea, pondering how to bring up the matter of marriage with his son again.

"I heard that you got your Uncle Zeng involved in the Hengzhou 5G project."

“Yes, the Zeng family contracted the construction and design. I’ve entrusted this project to Ziyan to handle entirely.” Lin Xuedong leaned back on the sofa, his legs casually crossed. His elbows rested comfortably on the armrests, his handsome eyebrows slightly raised as he looked up at his father.

"Ziyan, how has she been doing with you these past few days?" Lin Zhicheng asked, his eyes slightly narrowed, his tone calm, as if he were making casual conversation.

"Her work performance is passable. Letting her take over this project is also to help her understand construction projects and indirectly manage the Zeng family team," Lin Xuedong shrugged, looking nonchalant. He couldn't keep her around indefinitely, much less take over the Zeng family business.

Lin Zhicheng nodded in satisfaction. "Hmm, that's a good idea. However, she's inexperienced, so try to help her out as much as possible."

"I will, and I can't let down the 5% Zeng family shares that Uncle Zeng gave me!" Lin Xuedong shifted his crossed legs, crossed his arms and smiled, a sly glint flashing in his sharp eyes.

His plan will be implemented simultaneously with the launch of the 5G smart city, and it will be finalized after the official signing in early September.

"Sigh, Ziyan is such a good girl, I really think it's a pity. Can't you try to develop a relationship with her?" Lin Zhicheng shook his head and sighed softly, speaking tentatively.

He discussed it with Xie Xue, but Liu Sisi didn't respond at all. It seems she's determined to stick close to Lin Xuedong.

Since they're being so ungrateful, they might try to exert pressure from another angle, or even resort to extreme measures.

As long as he marries Zeng Ziyan and has a child, even if Liu Sisi has feelings for him, she can't have children, right? They can just let her raise the child outside.

"Dad!" Lin Xuedong sneered, disdainfully saying, "I told you, the Lin family doesn't need to rely on marriage alliances to rise in status. Why are you still fixated on that?"

"You!" Lin Zhicheng stared at him, his face turning pale with anger for a long while. Every time this matter was brought up, his son would get to his wits' end.

"Dad, I want to marry Sisi. Ziyan and Zeng's can only have a business relationship." Lin Xuedong loosened his crossed legs and hands, leaned forward, and poured some tea for Lin Zhicheng. His dark eyes were fixed on him as he spoke leisurely.

“Adong, she can’t help you, and she can’t help our family either. Why do you have to rebel against our wishes? You’re not young anymore, it’s time to settle down and have a child.” Lin Zhicheng adjusted his emotions, switching to an emotional approach, speaking earnestly. “And Ziyan is more suitable than Liu Sisi. If you really like her and can’t let go right away, then… then keep her outside.”

"Dad! What did you say?! What do you mean?!" Lin Xuedong stood up abruptly in shock, shouting fiercely, his icy gaze piercing him.

Lin Zhicheng glanced at him disdainfully and snorted coldly. "The literal meaning is: marry Ziyan and have a child as soon as possible. Liu Sisi will be raised outside. This is our final concession."

"Impossible!" His handsome brows furrowed into a deep frown, and his hands, which had been hanging at his sides, slowly clenched into fists. His jaw tightened, and a chilling glint flashed in his cold eyes. "Don't even think about it!"

Faced with his son's angry shout, Lin Zhicheng also got angry.

He stood up, pointing at Lin Xuedong, equally unyielding. "Heh! You've grown bold, disregarding family interests for your own selfish desires. You've forgotten all family ties, haven't you? Are you deliberately trying to go against me and your mother?"

"You're all confused, this is utterly absurd!" Lin Xuedong, unlike his usual gentle and refined demeanor, spoke sharply and coldly.

"We're being ridiculous?!" Lin Zhicheng glared at him angrily, breathing heavily. His fingers trembled, and he was so agitated that he wanted to grab a braid and tear it to shreds.

To openly defy him for a woman who is unknown and unable to have children?! This is outrageous!

"Dad, I told you not to get involved in my business, why are you still haunting me?" Lin Xuedong looked at his father, whose face was flushed and he was furious, and forced a smile. He was utterly speechless.

"You, you're deliberately trying to drive me crazy! This isn't just your own business! We only have one son, and the entire family is counting on you to inherit the family business. You've squandered so many years of your youth, and now we need you to be rational. For the sake of the family and the group's interests, why is it such a nagging ghost that you have to suffer a little?" Lin Zhicheng was so agitated that he almost shouted.

After a pause, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Besides, I didn't stop you from being with her. If she loves you enough, she should think about you too."

"Think about it? Why don't you all think about it for me?! If I'm not willing, I'll marry no one but her!" Lin Xuedong glared, his dark eyes flashing with a fierce and resolute determination that was not to be underestimated.

"No way! A woman with no background or connections is not worthy of entering the Lin family! You can't act recklessly in this matter! If you want to keep her, you'll have to marry Ziyan."

"Ha!" Lin Xuedong looked up and sneered. He had no desire to continue arguing with his father; that would be utterly absurd.

"Dad, I advise you to save your breath. I'll make my own decisions, you don't need to worry about me." After saying that, he raised an eyebrow and didn't look at his father again, walking straight towards the study door.

"She can't have children, and you insist on being with her? How can you live up to the responsibilities on your shoulders?" Lin Zhicheng called out to him, clutching his chest and breathing heavily.

Lin Xuedong's tall figure suddenly stopped, and he halted his steps as he reached the door.

He turned his head, his narrow eyes narrowed into slits, and a chilling aura emanated from them.

It seems they really couldn't hold back any longer and started investigating Liu Sisi.

He questioned Lin Zhicheng with dissatisfaction, "You investigated her?"

Just then, the study door opened.

Xie Xue and Lin Lan rushed in anxiously. They had originally come up to invite them downstairs for dinner, but they heard the father and son arguing fiercely from afar. Fearing that the husband might be angered to the point of collapse, they rushed in.

"Oh dear, Cheng-ge, don't get too angry! Take it easy." Seeing her husband's face turn from dark to red, Xie Xue's heart skipped a beat. She immediately rushed to her husband's side, her eyes filled with deep worry, checking him over.

Lin Lan glanced at her father, then turned to Lin Xuedong. "Brother, Dad, let's talk this out."

Her dark eyes darted around in their sockets, filled with doubt and shock. The information she had just heard kept replaying in her mind.

Liu Sisi can't get pregnant?!

Xie Xue, comforting her husband, glanced helplessly at her son. With a look of exasperation, she complained, "Adong, why are you so stubborn? That Liu Sisi can't have a child for you, can't you just give in a little?"

She and her husband were on the same page about this; they really couldn't let their son get so caught up in it.

"Who's spouting nonsense?!" Lin Xuedong's eyes were extremely gloomy.

He had always felt something was amiss, and he wouldn't believe the so-called test results until Ah Xiao verified the facts. He certainly wouldn't let Liu Sisi take medication haphazardly. Now, however, he'd discovered a clue from Lin Zhicheng's words.

Xie Xue paused, still not receiving a single reply from that despicable Liu Sisi. She only learned of her infertility through an anonymous tip.

However, it doesn't matter how she found out; the facts are the facts.

She raised her chin, glaring at him disdainfully. "What? Trying to cover for her?"

Lin Xuedong frowned, wearing slippers on the teak floor of the study, and walked towards Lin Zhicheng and Xie Xue.

Worried that they might get into a fight, Lin Lan reached out and tugged at his sleeve, softly calling out, "Brother, don't be impulsive."

Lin Xuedong turned and gave Lin Lan a deep look, then asked unexpectedly, "You knew about this too?"
