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

After a while, Lin Xuedong gradually calmed down.

He helped Liu Sisi up and placed her next to him, then put his arm around her and let her lean against his shoulder.

His fingertips gently slipped between hers, their fingers intertwining tightly. "My plan is to get married in three months. In the meantime, we'll arrange for our families to meet, for the engagement ceremony and such. We'll also order our wedding rings and attire, and plan the wedding and honeymoon. Okay?"

"Three months?" Liu Sisi was a little confused because she felt things were moving too fast and she felt uneasy.

In this way, their relationship will inevitably become public.

If anything goes wrong, it will cause great harm to each other and have a significant impact on both families.

She still lacks confidence in this.

Ultimately, the time spent getting to know each other was too short.

Lin Xuedong noticed her hesitation and tightened his grip on her hand.

She frowned slightly, voicing her concerns. "Do you think it's too fast? Or are you worried about something?"

"Yes, I am a little worried. You see, the 5G project has only just started, and we'll need to devote more energy to our work in the future. I really don't want to go public with our relationship now, because it will bring certain impacts and inconveniences to some extent." The woman's behavior was relatively rational and restrained.

“As for meeting our families, to be honest, I’m scared. Because our backgrounds are quite different. You know I come from a single-parent family, which is simpler, and you can easily fit in. Conversely, I don’t have enough confidence or assurance about meeting and interacting with your family. So, I want to take some more time to process things before arranging a meeting.” She looked up at him with her beautiful, watery eyes, hoping Lin Xuedong would understand.

"Then how long do you think it should be?" Lin Xuedong understood her concerns, but things always have to go through a process, otherwise they would lose their meaning.

"I... I'd like to double the time, perhaps?"

The man glanced sideways at Liu Sisi. "Half a year?"

“Hmm, this is what I’m thinking, let’s see if we can reach a consensus.” Liu Sisi licked her lips and said to him in a consultative tone, “Let’s maintain the status quo for three months. This will be beneficial for our relationship and adjustment in life, without affecting our work. After three months, we can proceed with the preparations you mentioned. This gradual approach will be more appropriate. What do you think?”

“Sisi, we’re legally married now. In principle, marriage is just between the two of us. Holding a wedding is just a formality to announce it to our relatives and friends. Is it really necessary to worry about so much?” Lin Xuedong couldn’t hold back any longer at this point; he didn’t think it was as complicated as she did.

"Besides, as long as you have the right mindset, whether or not you go public with your relationship doesn't conflict with the facts. Whether you get married or not, we still have to live our lives as usual. We have to face the things that need to be faced, and we can't keep avoiding the things that need to be solved. Don't you think so?"

Maintain a positive attitude...

Liu Sisi fell into deep thought, momentarily at a loss for words.

Suddenly, taking advantage of her momentary distraction, Lin Xuedong pounced on her and pinned her down on the sofa. His strong arms braced himself on either side, and he looked down at the woman beneath him, a teasing smile playing on his lips. "I told you, don't overthink it. Just come with me. I'm here."

That silly woman is always overthinking things.

With him around, he can take responsibility and protect her from the wind and rain.

So, what is there to worry about?

He said, "With him here..."

Liu Sisi's lips curved into an unnatural smile. But her bright, sparkling eyes revealed an undisguised sense of satisfaction.

He once told her under a streetlamp, "We must have shared beliefs and the courage to pursue them."

He had long seen through her lack of confidence. So he gave her confidence, saying, "With him here, just follow him."

Yes, he is her man, and he takes care of everything.

Does that mean all her thoughts and concerns are worthless? Why not just trust him?

She was a woman who clearly wanted to follow the proper steps and thought she was thorough. But his words completely disrupted her thoughts, even making her waver. "I..."

"Leave me alone. Let's just go with the flow. We'll face any difficulties together. Hmm?" Lin Xuedong's gentle tone was tinged with a subtle air of dominance; he was both rational and emotional.

Because he truly felt that there was nothing to hide in this relationship.

"Okay, fine. But at least one thing: before the wedding, we can't announce that we're a legally married couple. At most, we're just dating. Can you agree to that..." Me?

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Xuedong's lips covered hers, sealing her words with a kiss.

He didn't answer her; his lips were pressed tightly against hers.

A warm, gentle breath drew near; at that moment, silence spoke louder than words, stirring the heart more deeply than sweet talk. "Mmm~."

Liu Sisi was still stubbornly wanting his consent, but her body was already giving way...

The moonlight was bright and clear, and the night sky was vast.

All of this accentuated the romantic intimacy between the two inside the glass house.

The twinkling stars witnessed the sublimation of their love.

This weekend, they enjoyed the life of a young married couple.

Go grocery shopping, cook together. Take care of the flowers and plants on the rooftop together.

Watching movies in the living room, exercising in the glass room, or enjoying a sauna for health and wellness...

With her presence in the house, everything became warm and cozy.

What Lin Xuedong found most delightful was the tenderness between husband and wife, the satisfaction of their bodies and minds being united.

Monday afternoon arrived in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xuedong led Liu Sisi, Zhou Zhichen, and A Xiao to Songke on time.

In the bright conference room, besides Li Songze, the project representatives from Songke, Xing Yi and Guo Zhenzhen, were also present.

After exchanging greetings, everyone began discussing and negotiating the details of the collaborative project proposal.

Liu Sisi was responsible for introducing the contents of the project proposal.

She fluently and concisely explained the project's market trends, resource allocation, cost analysis, and areas of cooperation.

During discussions and consultations, they are able to grasp the key points and weigh the priorities.

The balance between the benefits and returns for both parties in the cooperation was handled quite well.

Her calm, composed, and articulate demeanor impressed the Songke representatives present.

Xing Yi, in particular, glanced at Lin Xuedong with great interest, his eyes filled with envy.

However, Liu Sisi's capable side was also fully captured by a pair of deep and sharp black eyes.

Li Songze was surprised, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on his stern face, a smile that showed his appreciation for her.

Unbeknownst to him, the waves in his heart were stirred by her every gesture, word, and smile.

The feeling of being moved was even stronger than before, which also made Li Songze feel a little flustered.

He secretly suppressed his turmoil and tried his best to maintain a cold exterior.

“Alright, let’s tentatively agree to a joint meeting once a week. Ms. Liu and Ms. Guo will serve as liaison representatives for project follow-up and coordination, respectively. Mr. Zhou and I will handle the technical engineering details directly.” Xing Yi made the final decision at the end of the meeting.

"Can a trial module be made within six months?" Li Songze looked at Xing Yi.

The seemingly casual remark appeared disjointed, but Xing Yi understood that it referred to the target plan for building application programming and related simulated networking platforms.

"Yes, that's also our goal, and we'll do our best to achieve it," Xing Yi replied earnestly. His work demeanor was completely different from his usual carefree and unrestrained image.

Turning his head, Li Songze glanced at Lin Xuedong again. His gaze lingered subtly on Liu Sisi. "How will the coordination of the equipment and training ground construction be?"

Liu Sisi quickly exchanged a glance with Zhou Zhichen, then spontaneously responded on Lin Xuedong's behalf, "President Li, the design of Lin's main control device will proceed simultaneously after the project officially enters the research and development phase. As for the location of the training ground, we will also expedite the survey and application for network base station construction, and we should be able to cooperate with trial operation within six months."

When their eyes met, he saw in her bright, watery eyes a woman's determination and confidence, like a refreshing spring.

Li Songze was slightly taken aback, only grunted in response, and continued to maintain the aloofness of a superior.

"Don't worry, Lao Li. Our AI chip technology has long been fully upgraded to match 5G network signals. The chip selected for the autonomous driving main control device is also under intensive development and will meet the requirements of 5G networks," Lin Xuedong added, his confident expression making him look particularly spirited. "In the next month, we will expedite the search for training sites, and the base station construction and network deployment will be completed before the trial operation."

"I will participate in the site survey." Li Songze raised his eyes and glanced at Lin Xuedong indifferently.

"Of course, Sisi will arrange it." He shrugged and said, "It's a piece of cake."

“Yes, Mr. Li, we will contact Ms. Guo when we find a suitable venue. In addition, according to the discussions at this meeting, the cooperation agreement will be jointly drafted by the legal departments of both parties within two weeks. Then, Lin's public relations department will organize a press conference. Both of these events require Mr. Li and Mr. Lin to schedule their participation.” Liu Sisi smiled and added on behalf of Mr. Li.

Li Songze nodded slightly, without saying anything more.

Looking at the man's composed expression, Liu Sisi thought to herself, "He really is an ice cube, never showing his emotions, and so deep and unfathomable."

She couldn't understand why the man before her was so different from the charismatic figure who had stood on that stage six years ago.

Time flew by... and the meeting ended.

Out of courtesy, Li Songze invited them to a dinner party at the Rich Club.

That night, he surprisingly asked Ren Anran to keep him company.
