How many loves can be relived in the story of a devoted CEO pursuing his wife?
Chapter 191: He wants to take her home again?
Liu Sisi mentally berated herself. No way!
She immediately looked into the distance, only finding peace in her heart when she saw Lin Xuedong, her husband.
But then she saw Zeng Ziyan, for some reason, leaning towards him. Then, she shyly raised her eyes and softly called out, "Learn from, learn from Brother Dong~".
Lin Xuedong frowned, gently steadying her. His expression was unreadable, but it seemed he was asking about her condition. "Did you sprain your ankle?"
Zeng Ziyan bit her lip, nodded slightly, and looked at Lin Xuedong with very charming eyes.
In this scene, Zeng Ziyan bit her lip on one end, while Liu Sisi gritted her teeth on the other—it was blatant seduction!
As more guests entered the dance floor, they danced in pairs, their movements graceful and elegant. The hustle and bustle blocked many people's view, and in a flash, the two figures disappeared from sight.
In an instant, Lin Zhicheng and his wife flashed before Liu Sisi's eyes. She saw Xie Xue staring at her, her eyes full of contempt and displeasure.
Then I saw Chen Meiyuan hooking up with Xing Yi, her beautiful eyes filled with hostility and sinister intent.
Xie Zhanming and Du Yumei were also there. Xie Zhanming frowned slightly. A hint of worry could be seen in his beautiful, untamed eyes.
Is it because I'm with Li Songze?
Zhou Zhichen also had a slight frown; had he also sensed something?
Even Xing Peng brought his fiancée to the dinner party tonight. Of course, Wen Nanguo and his wife were also there.
The two close friends looked at her with equally unfathomable eyes.
Liu Sisi suddenly felt like she was being pricked by needles. Her shy and hot feelings suddenly turned into panic, and a chill ran down her spine.
Feeling the cold, sweaty hand in his grasp, Li Songze frowned slightly, glancing down at her and asking, "Are you nervous?"
Liu Sisi choked, then slowly raised her eyes, her gaze filled with complex and chaotic emotions. She took a deep breath and blinked.
She tried to keep her voice steady as she tentatively said, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry. I really don't know how to dance, so let's just forget about it."
“I don’t mind.” Her response was met with Li Songze’s unfathomable gaze and an unquestionable tone.
One sentence blocked her escape route, and Liu Sisi was once again stunned by his coldness. Her chest heaved involuntarily, as if the oxygen in front of her was becoming increasingly thin.
What would outsiders think of her and Li Songze? And this man seemed completely arrogant and disdainful of everyone. She was caught in the middle, unable to extricate herself, and extremely flustered.
Her body was being moved by the man's dance steps, and his subtle approach made Liu Sisi very uncomfortable. Out of politeness, she couldn't easily dodge him, so she forced a smile and quietly looked away, trying to avoid eye contact.
But the unnatural trembling of her body betrayed her panicked state.
Unbeknownst to her, Li Songze was also experiencing a surge of emotions. His throat was dry, causing him to unconsciously swallow.
The faint, refreshing scent emanating from Liu Sisi, carried by the swirling air, wafted into his nostrils. Unlike those women with ordinary, vulgar makeup, her fragrance was so clean and pure that it captivated him.
Unbeknownst to him, a layer of color had appeared on his usually cold and aloof face.
Her gentle, subtle allure was captivating, but unfortunately, the woman had already turned her eyes away, and she missed it perfectly.
Liu Sisi carefully endured until the end of the performance, then breathed a sigh of relief. She stepped back, maintaining a safe distance from Li Songze, and smiled with lowered eyes, "Mr. Li, I was rude."
Realizing the warmth in his arms was fading, Li Songze pursed his lips in disappointment. His eyes quickly regained their composure, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
He cleared his throat and said, "No."
Liu Sisi nodded; she really wanted to slip away right then and there. So she smiled and said politely, "That's good. Excuse me for a moment, Mr. Li, please make yourself at home."
His deep, dark eyes narrowed slightly; though reluctant, he couldn't go too far at this moment.
He glanced calmly at Liu Sisi, content that he had just danced with her. So, in the end, he could only give a soft "Mmm" and let her leave.
Finally free, Liu Sisi breathed a huge sigh of relief.
She took the handbag back from the waiter, anxiously wanting to find Lin Xuedong.
But she searched the banquet hall but couldn't find him, or even Zeng Ziyan.
For some reason, she felt inexplicably uneasy. She avoided the noisy banquet hall and hid in the restroom to call him.
I called twice but didn't answer. Is it inconvenient for you or something?
They had arranged to meet tonight. He wanted Zeng Ziyan to be his date to promote the project.
Moreover, Lin Xuedong will be busy socializing with business owners, so he might not have time for her. Afterwards, he will have Wang Yue pick her up and take her home.
Liu Si thought for a moment, and figured he was probably still socializing. He knew his limits, and with Ah Xiao around, she shouldn't worry about it.
So she called Wang Yue again and arranged to come pick her up from the hotel.
Just as she stepped out of the restroom, she bumped into Li Songze again. Her watery eyes narrowed slightly; why was he everywhere? The two met face to face in this long, winding corridor.
"Mr. Li," she called softly.
Li Songze's gaze was fixed on her; he wanted to stay with her a little longer. The feeling of gently holding her in his arms while dancing had been breathtaking, wonderful, and unforgettable.
Although he was content, it also made him realize that he actually wanted more. Unable to see him in the venue, he secretly checked the location again and, almost unconsciously, found his way there.
The woman before him was dressed in a simple yet stylish white gown. Without excessive embellishment, she exuded a refined and elegant beauty, like a poem or a painting.
Such a woman can attract him and make him want to lean on her.
He was confused, conflicted, struggled, and hesitated.
This unrequited love, and the agony of pursuing a woman, was truly agonizing. It caught him completely off guard!
He had considered it; perhaps he should be open and honest and have a fair competition with Lin Xuedong. However, when he met those clear, bright eyes, the pure and undisturbed tranquility within them made him hesitate.
The time wasn't right yet; he had to continue to be patient. "Have we gone back?"
Once again, he suppressed the urge to confess his feelings to her.
Her deep eyes were like an ancient well, unfathomable. Reflected within them was a delicate and charming face, occasionally shimmering with light.
Looking into Li Songze's star-like eyes, Liu Sisi felt a moment of doubt and astonishment.
She blinked, trying to find a trace in those deep, dark eyes. But in an instant, those eyes became like unyielding ink, impossible to decipher no matter how hard one tried.
Liu Sisi cursed herself inwardly several times. Was she stupid? How could she possibly see affection in Li Songze's eyes?
He's just being delusional and infatuated. That CEO has beautiful celebrities to spice up his life. Want women? Ren Anran, Chen Meiyuan—he could have them all with a mere flick of his wrist.
It was necessary to severely criticize herself; Liu Sisi really didn't dare to guess what he was thinking.
This man possesses qualities that make women infatuated, from his words and actions to his inner temperament and handsome appearance.
But this didn't include her. Because her heart had already been given to another man.
"Yes, I'm planning to go home." She replied respectfully.
"I couldn't see A-Dong just now, he's probably busy." The man's tall figure, as solid as a boulder, stood before her and said calmly.
"???" Liu Sisi looked up at him blankly. Was he going to send her back again?
Thinking back to the previous times, even though he was staying at this hotel, he still deliberately offered to take her home. Then he barged into her room, asked to use the restroom, and even offered her a late-night snack...
Immediately, her eyes widened, something flashing through her mind.
It's just a thought, he couldn't be...?
Impossible. Ren Anran clearly stated that his body is... insensitive to women.
"I'll take you." Sure enough! His voice was deep and resonant, and the corners of his mouth remained slightly upturned. His smile was neither too deep nor too shallow, but it was enough to leave the woman before him at a loss.
Liu Sisi shuddered, then quickly came to her senses. Only one word was on her mind... Escape!
So he grinned at him and said, "No need to trouble Mr. Li, he has already arranged for a driver to pick me up."
Li Songze paused for a moment upon hearing this, sensing the woman's wariness, which made him somewhat disappointed. He pursed his lips, pretending to glance at his watch, so as not to let her see the disappointment on his face. "Well, then we'll meet tomorrow..."
When the topic turned to business, Liu Sisi's expression softened somewhat. "I'm fine with anything, it just depends on when is convenient for you, Mr. Li."
"Around 11 a.m., then we can have lunch together." He narrowed his handsome eyes slightly, refraining from saying the last part aloud.
"Okay, sure." Liu Sisi smiled and said goodbye, her eyes crinkling like a crescent moon. "Well... see you tomorrow, I'll take my leave now."
Whew! I can finally shake him off. I feel so much lighter now.
As for tomorrow's matter, we'll deal with it as it comes!
