It rang once, and the other party answered instantly!

Ha, Liu Sisi gave a bitter laugh to herself. Men who have done something wrong are indeed proactive, and very sincere in... coaxing people.

"Hey."

"Hello? Honey. Where are you? Are you exercising? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

The man was acting cute again; it was his usual tactic. I used to find it heartwarming. The words he spoke were indeed like honey, enough to make anyone swoon.

Now? Liu Sisi felt a chill run down her spine. She felt a little nauseous, and a little horrified.

She remained silent, waiting to see if he would confess without being asked.

"Hey, honey, why aren't you saying anything? Are you angry?" The man's voice was as gentle as ever.

Liu Sisi still ignored her; only the two of them breathing could be heard through the microphone. Listening carefully, it sounded a little cautious.

Lin Xuedong pursed his thin lips tightly, ignoring the throbbing pain squeezing from the ruptured wound.

He stared blankly out the window, a bitter feeling rising in his heart. Her silence, her breathing, were like a hammer silently piercing his heart.

Like that terrible dream, he tried his best but couldn't get her to turn around. His eyes reddened slightly, and his heart suddenly ached.

"Wife, don't be angry. Okay?" He hesitated for a moment, his voice a little hoarse.

The man kept talking about his wife, and Liu Sisi felt a pang of sadness.

I promised myself I wouldn't cry, but my vision was already blurry.

My heart was clenching with intense pain, and large tears fell onto the glass surface of the dining table, splashing into tiny water droplets.

She bit her lower lip tightly, remaining silent. It wasn't that she didn't want to speak, but rather that she didn't want him to hear her sobs, and didn't want to reveal her vulnerability to him.

Lin Xuedong closed his eyes, swallowed the bitter taste in his mouth, and asked weakly, "Where are you?"

"Home." Liu Sisi wiped away her tears with her fingers, trying to answer calmly. But she didn't tell him which home she lived in.

"Oh." Lin Xuedong nodded, holding the phone, his handsome features suddenly tightening. He felt an urge to cry; a wave of sadness washed over him.

Last night he said he missed her a lot, and then she told him to come home early. Now? The sun is high in the sky, and she's still waiting for him at home.

The guilt he felt towards Liu Sisi crashed over him like a tidal wave, causing him unbearable pain. No wonder she was angry; she must have been overthinking again last night, hiding under the covers and crying.

Thinking of this, he wanted to slap himself. He loved Liu Sisi so much, how could he bear to hurt her?

It's all my fault for being careless again, this time it was my own mother.

"Honey, I'm sorry." Lin Xuedong composed himself and sincerely apologized to her.

Look! This man's three-step method for coaxing someone.

It's nothing more than coaxing and sweet talk. One minute they'll say they miss you, the next they'll say they love you, and then they'll say they can't leave you.

Then comes the apologies and promises, a whole host of elaborate schemes, and they just keep pestering me until the very end.

"Ha!" Liu Sisi snorted coldly.

If I had seen through his tricks from the beginning, I wouldn't have been so foolish and manipulated by him. Every time, he would coax and plead with me to move forward.

Wait a minute! Standing there dumbfounded...?

She remembered the scene when she first met Lin Xuedong; Lin Lan introduced her in this way.

Looking back now, I realize how incredibly stupid I was. In their eyes, I was just a fool who could be easily fooled!

"Sisi, please. Don't be angry anymore, okay?" Lin Xuedong felt inexplicably nervous upon hearing her cold snort, and he pleaded again.

Liu Sisi had no more patience for his ramblings and asked coldly, "Are you done?"

"Sisi, I... I didn't go home last night because... because... because I was sick." *Phew*, Lin Xuedong finally managed to say it, letting out a long sigh. He hoped that playing the victim would elicit a shred of pity from her.

Liu Sisi didn't believe it at all. Such a lame excuse, was it meant to fool a child? "Sick?!"

"Yes, a severe cold, a high fever of 42 degrees Celsius, and I was in a coma. Xiao brought me to the hospital, and I have to stay for observation tonight." Lin Xuedong felt a little better after hearing her ask this question, so he tried to describe the situation in as much detail as possible.

Haha, he really treats her like a child. He even wants her hospitalized for observation?

The battle must have been fierce last night; the marks on his body are hard to erase. He's probably hiding, right?

Liu Sisi has now practically sentenced Lin Xuedong to death. No matter how eloquently he tries to embellish the facts she witnessed firsthand.

"Sisi, are you... are you listening?" Seeing Liu Sisi remain silent again, Lin Xuedong's heart began to pound. So, he tentatively asked, "Wife, will you come and keep me company? I miss you."

Liu Sisi rolled her eyes at the ceiling, speechless. His sweet talk really came out of his mouth effortlessly. And he didn't seem a little guilty or flustered at all. He was quite impressive.

Her sadness faded as she saw through his tactics, replaced by a nonchalant disdain. "Let's see what other tricks he has up his sleeve." "Hmm, let's see."

"Really? When are you coming?" Lin Xuedong's face lit up immediately upon hearing this, as excited as a child who had won a toy. Unfortunately, Liu Sisi no longer cared about any of this.

She didn't want to see him for even a second, so she just made up some excuse to get by. "Let's do it tonight. I already made plans with a friend today. You're busy with work during the day, so I won't bother you."

"Who did you meet? Male or female?" That guy's actually bothered by that? Why should he?

Liu Sisi, unwilling to argue with him, yelled, "The woman, that friend who lives in Jiangyue Bay. Give me a break!"

"Alright, alright, honey, don't be angry. It hurts me to see you angry, and it's not worth it for both of us to suffer. Your friend seems to be quite extraordinary, how about letting Wang Yue go with you?" He took advantage of the situation and half-heartedly pushed Wang Yue over.

"No, I told you, they're public figures. They have privacy. Don't you trust me?" Liu Sisi protested.

"Okay, okay, I believe you, I believe you, and I have confidence in myself. Honey, you must remember that I love you." Lin Xuedong listened to her scolding without the slightest displeasure.

He knew all along that his woman, Liu Sisi, actually had a fiery temper and was stubborn at heart. Only after getting to know her did he gradually realize that Liu Sisi had a strong sense of values ​​and a resilient nature that was resistant to being coerced.

If you try to force her, she might retaliate and fight you to the bitter end without ever giving up.

Liu Sisi on the other end rolled her eyes so much that it made my eyes tired and painful.

"Mmm~." She responded in a raised voice, her languid tone tinged with a hint of coquettishness. Lin Xuedong felt a tingling sensation run through his body, his heart pounding. He really wanted to see her, to hug her, to kiss her, and to apologize to her in person.

"Sisi, you must come tonight. I'll be waiting for you." His voice was deep and magnetic, filled with hope.

I'll wait for you. Tonight, it's my turn to wait for you.

Liu Sisi's fingers, gripping the phone, curled slightly. He always had the ability to make you angry one second and then create a dreamlike garden for you the next, making you willingly succumb to its allure.

His words, "I'll wait for you," struck a chord deep within Liu Sisi's heart. His complete acceptance was irresistible to her.

Her nose suddenly stung, and her throat tightened. Tears welled up in her eyes, betraying her soft heart.

"Hmm." Whether she was angry or soft-hearted, she couldn't fool herself, nor could she win against his words.

Since that's the case, let's meet him and see what he can do.

"Sisi, don't bring me anything, including food. I can't eat much, and Xiao is here to take care of me. It's good that you're here." He added, not wanting her to suffer. He only wanted her!

"Okay, I understand." As soon as she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, and her longing for him grew stronger.

She pressed her hand to her chest; it hurt there.

Lin Xuedong felt a pang of heartache on the other end of the phone. As if he could feel her pain, the image of her silently shedding tears vividly appeared in his mind.

He wanted to call out to her, just like in his dream, "Sisi, don't cry, don't be afraid. I'm here, I've always been here."

Unfortunately, these words only have meaning when I see her and hold her in my arms.
