How many loves can be relived in the story of a devoted CEO pursuing his wife?
Chapter 331 A Little Excited
The carriage was relatively warm, and Liu Sisi felt much more relaxed.
She let out a heavy sigh and thanked Du Zhentao. "Thank you for your trouble, Zhentao."
"What are you saying?" Du Zhentao glanced at her sideways, sniffed, and spoke with a slight hint of displeasure. "Aunt Zeng and I were worried about you. Why did you drink on your first day at work?"
“When dining with business partners, social engagements are unavoidable.” Liu Sisi glanced out the car window, looking at the neon lights of the street, her watery eyes sparkling. Actually, although she worked in sales, she was never enthusiastic about socializing; dealing with those things was more tiring than her job.
Seeing her dejected expression, Du Zhentao pursed his lips and coaxed her gently, "How was your first day at work? If there's anything bothering you, just say it. Don't keep it bottled up inside."
The woman, lost in self-doubt, paused slightly, then turned her gaze to the man in the driver's seat, pondering for a moment. "Re-entering the workforce, it'll take some time to adjust to the new environment and the new people."
"I believe Mr. Li won't make things too difficult for you. Take your time."
Mentioning Li Songze, Liu Sisi's eyes widened in surprise. "Oh, by the way, how do you know Li Songze?"
Du Zhentao shrugged and gave a slight smile. "It's a long story. I first met him at Lin Lan's father's birthday banquet."
"You, you still know Lin Lan?" No way? Liu Sisi was more and more confused as she listened, feeling that the intricate details were too fantastical.
The car cruised smoothly and at a steady speed along the road, Du Zhentao's hands firmly gripping the steering wheel. The headlights of oncoming cars flickered, illuminating his refined face. He looked deep in thought, as if organizing his thoughts.
After a long pause, he licked his lips and replied, "One day, I went to pick up the clothes I had ordered after work. I happened to run into you and her shopping at the mall, and we got to know each other over a meal."
"And then?" This piqued Liu Sisi's interest even more, and she pressed for an answer.
"Hehe, and then..." Du Zhentao chuckled twice, glanced at her sideways, and continued, "And then nothing much! It's just that at her father's birthday party, she invited me to accompany her. That's when I met Mr. Li."
"Oh..." Liu Sisi sat up straight. His words implied that there was no future for him and Lin Lan. And rightly so, Lin Lan's heart and soul were completely devoted to her 'brother'...
Look, she unconsciously thought of Lin Xuedong again, and her gaze drifted out the window once more.
Now, she can't remember anything. Gazing at the neon lights and shadows in the night, she feels exceptionally lonely and desolate.
I ran into that man for two days in a row; he was still as handsome and charming as ever.
The difference was that the person nestled beside him wasn't himself, nor was it Lin Lan, but Zeng Ziyan.
Why.......
It seems that for these people in the wealthy circle, neither feelings nor love really matter; being well-matched in social status is the only true measure of success!
A soft sigh escaped the quiet carriage. Du Zhentao frowned, his heart tightening. "What are you thinking about?"
Liu Sisi shook her head. Although she trusted Du Zhentao, she had no intention of discussing her personal feelings. "It's nothing, just thinking about the past."
"So what came to mind?"
She spread her hands and said self-deprecatingly, "I can't remember. It's not important."
New apartment.
Simple and neat, the place is more spacious than the small apartment in Meilin Garden, and the warm color scheme gives people a relaxed and comfortable feeling.
That night, Liu Sisi lay on her spacious bed, quietly looking out the window.
Unconsciously, my mind started to wander back to the events of the day.
The images of Li Songze and Lin Xuedong alternated repeatedly. And those fragmented, vaguely familiar scenes, impressions, and feelings intertwined.
Li Songze's behavior today was undoubtedly a bit unusual. He seemed to be overly worried about himself, or perhaps too deliberately protecting himself.
Ultimately, she didn't want to receive these generous treatments. He was her boss, and she had to maintain certain rules and attitudes when dealing with him.
When she calmed down, she would reflect on her interactions and contacts with Li Songze. She had a vague, ambiguous impression of them, as if something similar had happened before.
Although he was not a stranger to her, she still felt embarrassed if they got too close.
How could one casually covet or offend such a high-ranking CEO? Moreover, his aloof and authoritative demeanor in public does indeed make him seem sacred and unapproachable.
Despite the tenderness and care he showed her, Liu Sisi still believed that maintaining distance and boundaries was essential.
In the workplace, one must have the right mindset. The boss is the boss, and must be respected and valued. She cannot be ambiguous, much less take advantage of familiarity.
Conversely, Lin Xuedong left a somewhat complicated impression on her. She wasn't sure if it was just preconceived notions or if she was simply being overly sentimental.
He is undoubtedly a very charming man.
She met him more than eight years ago at Lin Lan's birthday party. This man would always appear in her life unexpectedly.
It was just the intersection of two people, yet it was handled in a wonderfully appropriate way.
She knew he was the apple of Lin Lan's eye, so she automatically avoided him. It was somewhat like her current relationship with Li Songze—maintaining a balance and distance.
Because behind Li Songze, there is also Huang Minqiu, who is devoted to him, and their child.
So how did she and Lin Xuedong get together? Liu Sisi was completely baffled.
Does Lin Lan know about this?
If she knew the truth, why didn't she tell me? Instead, she said she and her brother were already together.
Regardless, she had already broken up with Lin Xuedong. But was the reason for the breakup Lin Lan or Zeng Ziyan?
This situation left Liu Sisi feeling inexplicably embarrassed. She didn't know how to react.
The emotional entanglements that had occurred were kept entirely in the dark by myself.
Each of them clearly understood the reasons behind it all, yet they chose to avoid the issue and remain silent.
Is she afraid of provoking herself? Haha, isn't that underestimating her too much?
But... on another note.
Her heart would pound with nervousness because of Lin Xuedong. And she would feel lost and depressed because she couldn't see him.
His melancholy eyes appeared before me, filled with complex emotions. Was it his sentimentality? Or the sorrow of parting?
The more Liu Sisi pondered, the more restless and uneasy she became. The confusion in her mind just wouldn't go away.
The small clock on the bedside table pointed to 2 a.m.
Oh no, she's having trouble sleeping again.
I have to go to work tomorrow, but my thoughts still won't stop.
So she got out of bed and swallowed a sleeping pill.
Since the car accident, Liu Sisi has suffered from headaches, insomnia, and intermittent slow reactions.
"Sisi, what's wrong?" Zeng Meiyu heard the noise, poked her head out of the room, and asked her.
Liu Sisi had just swallowed the pill and drunk half a glass of warm water when she replied, "It's nothing, I'm just a little excited. I just took a sleeping pill, I'll sit for a while and then go to sleep. You should go back to your room and rest."
Zeng Meiyu gave a soft "hmm" and then closed the door again.
Before the medication took effect, Liu Sisi quietly stayed in the living room and watched TV for a while.
The muted screen kept changing, gradually causing a bit of confusion...
