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

Chapter 24: Appearing to be hiding from debt collectors

At six o'clock in the evening, the sky gradually darkened.

Less than two blocks from the Lin's Building, a woman stood at an inconspicuous corner, waiting for someone on the roadside despite the heat.

A moment later, the Bentley Continental GT pulled up and came to a smooth stop in front of her.

From afar, he could see the petite woman looking around. She opened the car door and darted inside in a flash. Lin Xuedong, seeing her evasive demeanor, found it amusing and endearing, and his heart stirred.

"Heh, are you that afraid of being exposed? You have to hide at work, and you have to hide after get off work." He fastened Liu Sisi's seatbelt and then quickly started the car.

Liu Sisi got into the car, feeling much calmer. Without thinking, she replied directly, "Let's hide for a while; there are too many people and too much gossip here."

Lin Xuedong shook his head and chuckled, a little helpless. "Are you hungry? It'll be about a 45-minute drive."

"It's alright, where are we going?" During rush hour, being stuck in traffic for one or two hours is the norm.

“My home.” Lin Xuedong glanced at her, raising an eyebrow as he added, “I’ve had the cleaning lady prepare the ingredients. I’ll cook you a few dishes when we get back.”

Hearing the words "my home" made Liu Sisi feel a little awkward. But then she remembered that they had genuinely invited her, and she was just there to try their cooking. In the end, she calmed down and decided to just improvise. "Oh."

“When I first returned to the company, I ran into Lanlan. She told me that you had told her about us.”

"Yes, I mentioned it to her." Liu Sisi, prompted by his words, thought about how Lin Lan seemed still upset when she left, and asked with some concern, "What happened? How did she mention it to you?"

"She doesn't seem quite right in the head. Is she worried I'll bully you? That girl even warned me about it." He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his expression a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"Is that so? Hehe, she might not be able to accept it for a while. This is quite an unexpected shock." Liu Sisi lowered her eyes, unconsciously chuckled twice, and felt a little uncomfortable.

"Heh~, how could it be a shock? Speak properly." Lin Xuedong chuckled, almost getting angry, and quickly corrected her. "It's clearly a surprise, okay? A good friend has become a good sister-in-law, this is a double blessing."

"Don't call me that." What sister-in-law?! Liu Sisi was speechless; he had taken advantage of her again.

"Haha~." Lin Xuedong laughed, reached out and took her little hand. Then he intertwined their fingers and brought it to his lips, "Smack!" He gave her a big kiss on the back of her hand.

"..."

"Sisi, not going to be my sister-in-law? Then how about being my wife? I'd be happy to!"

"..." Liu Sisi frowned. This guy's silver tongue was no less than his uncle's. The two were evenly matched, both digging their own kind of pits.

"Dream on! Sweet talk!" This girl won't fall for it!

Lin Xuedong controlled the steering wheel with one hand, while holding her small hand tightly with the other, showing no intention of letting go, his mouth constantly grinning.

"How did you know? I've been thinking about it every day. What kind of proposal would you like? What kind of wedding ring would you like? What kind of wedding would you like? What kind of wedding room would you like? Where would you like to go for your honeymoon? Would you like a boy or a girl...? Just thinking about it makes everything so beautiful because of you."

Liu Sisi glanced at him sideways, staring at him as if he were an idiot. "Lin Xuedong, aren't you overthinking this?"

They've only been dating for a few days? How could they be thinking about having a baby so quickly? She found it a bit unbelievable.

"Not much." Lin Xuedong said confidently, his eyes shining. "Sisi, I'll give you a one-month trial period. If you're satisfied, I'll make you a full-time employee, okay?"

"How exactly does the process of becoming a full-fledged employee take place?"

"Hmm..." Lin Xuedong paused for half a second, then responded in a steady and serious tone. "Becoming a full-fledged member? Of course, that means we can publicly acknowledge our relationship, arrange to meet each other's parents, and then talk about marriage!"

"..." Liu Sisi lowered her head and remained silent. How could she not be happy?

No, she was happy. Because she could feel the sincerity in his words, and even more so, she was moved.

Lin Xuedong was a warm and gentle man; he was humorous, lively, and considerate. Being with him felt wonderful and comforting. How could she not be moved?

“Sisi, I’ve told you before, I’m serious about you. I’m dating you with marriage in mind. I know you might not fully trust me yet, but I still hope our future will be bright.” He gently lifted their intertwined hands, shook them twice, and emphasized calmly, “See, I’ve already taken your hand. Just come with me, leave everything to me, don’t worry about anything else.”

Liu Sisi looked at their tightly clasped hands, the 'tether' tied to their wrists dazzlingly bright. The darkness couldn't conceal its shimmering brilliance, as if cheering them on.

She then moved her gaze upwards and saw his handsome profile. A straight nose, and deep eyes focused intently on the road ahead.

Such a handsome guy, and he's so infatuated with her. Did she save the galaxy in her past life?

However, what was this outstanding man saying to her? He said, "I'm dating you with marriage in mind."

Good heavens! Liu Sisi was in turmoil, feeling as if everything around her was collapsing.

Before my eyes, in my heart, only his image and his words remain.

She even wanted to hug him without a second thought and agree to his proposal. Even if the future was uncertain, he had said he could entrust himself to her and she could follow him; that was enough.

Lin Xuedong felt her intense gaze and asked with a smug smile, "Is it pretty?"

"Yeah, he's pretty good-looking." She wasn't good at flattery, but there was no denying that the narcissistic man in front of her was really handsome.

Lin Xuedong raised his handsome eyebrows with a smug look of approval.

He could clearly feel that the tightly closed door to Liu Sisi's heart was slowly opening for him. It seemed that winning her heart was within reach. "Then you absolutely have to give me a score!"

"Pfft~." Liu Sisi couldn't help but burst out laughing. Did he have no shame? "He really has no shame."

"Hehe~, what does face matter? What I want is for you to fall in love with me quickly. Considering how hard I've tried, give me some encouragement, okay?" He chuckled like a child begging for candy.

Should we encourage him? What would he like?

Liu Sisi's mind raced, assuming he was coming to ask for a gift. "So, what do you like?"

"Starting to get to know me? That's progress, good girl." What does he like? It's her, isn't it?

"Sisi, how about you find out what I like to drink first?"

Liu Sisi frowned and started thinking, recalling the details of her time with him.

He took her to eat Hong Kong-style dim sum, which included tea. This morning he took her to a coffee shop for breakfast and said the coffee there was good. Those must all be his favorite flavors, right? "Coffee? Soup? Alcohol? Tea, or mineral water?"

"Haha, those are all necessary, it's not a matter of liking or disliking. I like to drink something very special, it's one of a kind." He deliberately kept everyone in suspense, emphasizing the word "one of a kind".

"Very special? Even unique?" Liu Sisi murmured, repeating his words, thinking to herself, "This rich young master really has a discerning palate."

Just as she was deep in thought, the car stopped at a red light. Lin Xuedong turned to face her, and their eyes met.

His sparkling eyes were as bright as a galaxy, completely enveloping him.

A gentle, sweet voice, capable of making one's ears pregnant, rang out from his lips... "Sisi, listen carefully, and remember this well. I like... I like to cherish you."

*Whoosh!* Caught off guard, Liu Sisi was speechless at his cheesy pickup line. Two blushes quickly spread across her porcelain-white face. Did he really have to be so charming?

"Tch~." She rolled her eyes at him, then gave a shy laugh. Unable to think of a proper reaction, she simply covered it up with a smile.

"Haha~, haha~." He laughed heartily, as if he had won some prize. When the light turned green, he started the car again.
