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

An hour later, they returned to Merlin Garden.

When getting off the bus, Lin Xuedong let Liu Sisi go upstairs first. He stayed in the bus for an extra 10 minutes to make sure everything was alright before casually putting on his mask and baseball cap...

Tonight, Xie Xue's people were misled and stayed at Du Zhentao's and Lin's Building. Therefore, Liu Sisi's small apartment is safe for the time being.

As soon as he entered the door, he caught Liu Sisi in the kitchen preparing to cook noodles for him.

Lin Xuedong held her in his arms, his deep eyes fixed on her pink lips, a glint of light shining in them.

How many days has it been since I last met your loving presence?

He suddenly felt thirsty, a burning desire rising deep within him. This restless yearning made him unable to restrain himself.

"What are you doing? Go wash up first, it'll be ready to eat in a bit." Liu Sisi put down what she was doing and was abruptly turned around by him.

Their eyes met, and their hearts raced. They wrapped their arms around each other's waists. A faint scent of tobacco emanated from Lin Xuedong, mixed with a very subtle fragrance of cologne, lingering in the air.

This scent was so familiar, constantly tugging at her nerves.

His face was as handsome as ever, with well-defined features. His skin was fair, and under the light, it appeared even more deep and captivating.

Meeting his deeply affectionate gaze made her heart flutter uncontrollably, and she could even hear her own heartbeat.

Lin Xuedong was equally excited; he missed her terribly.

Looking at her nervous and flushed face, I was already distracted.

He lowered his head and gently rubbed his lips against her pink lips, which were fragrant and soft, intoxicating.

"Close your eyes and let me kiss you." The magnetic voice seemed to have a magical power. Perhaps it was the pain of longing that made Liu Sisi willingly close her eyes and respond to him involuntarily.

The man, having received a response, could no longer remain calm. Her taste was so sweet that once he tasted her, he couldn't stop.

He pinned Liu Sisi against the washbasin and kissed her passionately. He sucked on her lips forcefully, the long, hot kiss gradually suffocating Liu Sisi, leaving her mind blank.

His low, husky voice held a captivating quality, and his large hands began to roam restlessly over her body. "Sisi, did you miss me?"

Liu Sisi was startled, her senses returning instantly. She placed her hands against his chest, turned her face away, and said breathlessly, "Go wash up first, you're dirty!"

"Hehe, can I shower later?" Lin Xuedong's voice, though tired, carried a hint of contentment and lightness. That kiss just now hadn't quite satisfied him; he wanted to continue.

Liu Sisi's cheeks were flushed, and her dark eyes were brimming with moisture; she was undeniably alluring. Yet, she glared at him defiantly, pointing towards the kitchen door, refusing to comply. "No! Go now!"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to my wife." Lin Xuedong raised his hands in surrender, adopting the posture of a henpecked husband.

Liu Sisi was incredibly annoyed by his pretentious face. She simply turned away and continued preparing his late-night snack, completely ignoring him.

Lin Xuedong entered the bathroom with a beaming smile. Seeing the clean clothes laid out on the hanger, a warm feeling washed over him, and the corners of his mouth curved upwards even further.

Fifteen minutes later, he finished tidying himself up, dried his hair with a towel, and stepped out of the bathroom.

Looking up, I saw Liu Sisi carrying a steaming bowl of soup noodles as she came out of the kitchen.

At that moment, she seemed to be bathed in a soft glow. Gentle, skillful, and captivating. Lin Xuedong was stunned; this was his wife.

He secretly vowed that once the storm had passed, he would cherish her and make it up to her.

Liu Sisi put the bowl of noodle soup on the table, then looked up and called to him, "The noodles are ready, come and eat them while they're hot."

I didn't have much food at home, just a few eggs, two tomatoes, and canned sardines. So, I made him a bowl of tomato, sardine, and egg noodles—simple, nutritious, and it looked pretty good too.

"Thank you, my dear wife." Lin Xuedong walked over, bent down and gently kissed her cheek, then sat down with a smile.

Liu Sisi poured him another glass of warm water. Feeling sticky and sweaty all over, she glanced at him and said, "You eat slowly, I'll go wash up first."

"Okay, go ahead." Lin Xuedong replied; he was genuinely hungry. He picked up his chopsticks, took a large bite, blew on it, and then slurped up the noodles.

Seeing the contentment on his face, Liu Sisi felt a sweet warmth in her heart. There wasn't much she could do for him. Little did she know, these small details were enough for Lin Xuedong to savor.

As night deepened, the horizon of the sea became blurred and indistinct, impossible to discern.

Li Songze sat quietly on the deck chair on the balcony, gazing at the coastline. It seemed that only in this way could he find a moment of peace within himself.

He held a cigarette in his hand, the sea breeze dispersing the white smoke he had just exhaled. How many nights had he spent sleepless, his mind filled with the every smile and gesture of that young woman?

These past two days, he has been making blatant hints, which Liu Sisi is surely aware of, yet she still chooses to avoid them.

Was it due to her personality, being overly reserved and shy, or was she truly still entangled with Lin Xuedong?

If it's the latter, then is she truly willing to be Lin Xuedong's woman in the shadows?

Li Songze frowned, his eyes glancing at the phone lying on the small table. The flashing light on the screen was still constantly flickering.

Out of concern, he checked Liu Sisi's location again to confirm that she had returned home. But the thought of her being with Lin Xuedong filled him with immense disappointment and frustration.

He brought the cigarette to his lips again and took a deep drag. His deep eyes narrowed slightly, then his gaze sharpened and cleared once more.

No, he didn't want to give up on pursuing this love.

He didn't want to see Liu Sisi suffer, because it would break his heart and make him feel bad.

Li Songze exhaled a long smoke ring, wanting to give it one last try and leave no regrets.

When Liu Sisi came out of the bathroom, Lin Xuedong had already cleaned up the kitchen. He was sprawled out on the sofa, watching the news on TV.

This scene is so heartwarming and full of life. Life is actually best when it's simple; the house doesn't need to be big, and you don't need a lot of money. Having him in your life, healthy and happy, is enough. Contentment brings happiness.

Seeing that she had wrapped a towel around her wet hair, Lin Xuedong smiled and asked, "Shall I help you dry your hair?"

"No rush, let them air dry for a while." She smiled sweetly at him and went out onto the balcony to play with the two plates of strawberries.

Lin Xuedong stood up and followed her. Leaning slightly against the glass door, he struck up a conversation with a sly grin, "Did Old Li grow these?"

"Hmm." Liu Sisi turned her head and asked. "Want to try some? It's so sweet."

"Okay." Lin Xuedong squatted down, picked a good amount, and then pulled Liu Sisi back into the house.

Liu Sisi washed the strawberries, put them on a plate, and presented them to Lin Xuedong. She pouted and said with a hint of reproach, "You've picked most of the plate, you have to finish them, don't waste them."

"It's alright, we can just plant them again." Lin Xuedong took two and put them in his mouth. One bite and his mouth was filled with juice; they were indeed sweet. "I never thought Old Li had this tender side."

Liu Sisi rolled her eyes at him and corrected him. "It was planted by his butler, Uncle Fu. I don't really know much about it; I was just playing around."

"I'll teach you." Lin Xuedong raised an eyebrow, popped a pill into her mouth, and said with narrowed eyes.

"You can do this too?" Liu Sisi muttered, her eyes full of surprise.

Lin Xuedong quickly finished off the remaining strawberries with Liu Sisi, who took turns eating them.

Then, he leaned in and kissed her lips, his mouth filled with the sweet scent of strawberries, accompanied by an ever-growing affection.

Gradually, the ambiguity intensified, and naturally, a brief separation brought a sense of blissful intimacy to the home.

At the moment a man is moved, a satisfied sigh escapes his lips.

He loved this woman; her body and soul brought him unparalleled satisfaction and attraction.
