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

The white Bentley Continental, like an elegant gentleman, gradually moves away from the city center along the asphalt road.

A ray of warm sunlight transformed into shimmering halos, piercing through the windshield and subtly sculpting the man's handsome, deep features.

His understated turtleneck sweater accentuated his slender and upright figure as he gripped the steering wheel. His dark eyes gazed ahead, seemingly holding unseen depths.

The man was handsome and dashing. He held Liu Sisi's small hand tightly in his large hand.

The serene smile on his face revealed a renewed sense of joy, much like the warm sunshine outside the window.

Liu Sisi felt as if five bottles of vinegar had been spilled inside her.

I turned my face away, lost in the rush of the street rushing past the window. There was no solace, only coldness and endless bitterness in my heart.

Returning to the Lin family's old residence, the warm sunlight enveloped its magnificent outline, and time could not conceal its original grandeur.

As soon as the couple entered the house, Aunt Wang greeted them with a loving smile. "Young master, young mistress, we've finally been waiting for you to come back. Please come in..."

"Happy New Year, Aunt Wang." Taking off his coat, a warm smile appeared on his lips. Lin Xuedong gave a simple reply, but his gaze remained fixed on the slender figure beside him. "This is Sisi, my wife."

The man's eyes shone, and his voice was full of doting affection, which made Aunt Wang's gaze involuntarily fixed on Liu Sisi.

Beneath the apricot-colored turtleneck sweater were crisp, straight-leg trousers. The tailored cut perfectly accentuated her delicate yet well-proportioned figure, making her appear quiet and gentle.

An elegant crystal chandelier shone from the entryway ceiling, casting its light on Liu Sisi's naturally beautiful face. Beneath her short, glossy black hair, her porcelain-white skin accentuated her delicate features.

Unconsciously, she exuded the quiet and serene aura that was inherent in her. "Aunt Wang, Happy New Year. I'm Sisi."

This girl was quite ordinary; at first glance, she didn't possess any particularly striking features. Yet, she managed to captivate the young master of the Lin family, making him fall head over heels in love with her.

Aunt Wang, on the other hand, gave Liu Sisi a deeper look and said with a charming smile, "Hehe, Happy New Year! Come on in."

Liu Sisi smiled and nodded to Aunt Wang.

Finally stepping into the Lin family's gate, a sense of unease arose naturally behind the smile.

Facing a stranger in an unfamiliar environment, her clear eyes instinctively glanced at the man. She saw him holding her hand tightly, striding directly into the house with his long, slender legs.

The fine Italian handcrafted leather shoes clicked crisply and perfectly on the marble floor. One could hear the steadiness in his steps, carrying a certain conviction within him.

Luxurious European-style curtains hang on the clear glass windows, and the high ceilings of the foyer offer a clear view of the courtyard outside.

On a winter afternoon, the sunlight became somewhat bleak.

The flowers and plants that were once carefully planted in the yard have all drifted into a sweet dream. Only those few sturdy, verdant pines faintly dispel the gloom of winter.

As Liu Sisi followed her husband into the hall, she was immediately captivated by the view outside the window.

The Lin family's old residence is a pre-war, early Republican-era building, blending Chinese and Western styles to create a unique grandeur. Its overall structure and design are remarkably elegant, making it easy to imagine the splendor it once held.

She sat down on the fabric sofa in the lobby, her beautiful eyes sweeping over the wall. The flickering flames of the electric heater on the wall made her sigh softly. "This place is really big."

It was much bigger than the Azure Sky Peak, making me feel like a frog in a well. I increasingly felt the vast difference between myself and Lin Xuedong, no wonder Xie Xue always disliked me.

A warm sensation on the top of her head sent a shiver down Liu Sisi's spine. She tilted her head back, her delicate face framed by the dazzling, mesmerizing light emanating from the crystal chandelier beneath the ceiling, equally opulent and captivating.

But the owner of that hand was backlit, so his expression couldn't be seen. However, his voice was reassuring as he spoke, "Sisi, Dad and Mom are probably resting. Sit down for a bit, I'll go call them down."

"No, no rush." ​​She frowned, grabbed his sleeve, and her eyes flickered with unease.

Liu Sisi didn't want to be alone here. At this moment, it seemed that only by sticking to him could she feel a little bit of security.

"It's alright, Sisi..." Lin Xuedong was about to say something when Aunt Wang led the maids to serve tea and snacks, saying solicitously, "Young Master, Madam and the others are in the study upstairs. Please go up directly. Let Madam stay here, have some tea and rest."

Aunt Wang's words naturally drew Liu Sisi's attention. Her eyes were kind, and her smile was approachable.

But somehow, Liu Sisi always sensed a subtle, profound meaning in it.

Is she being too sensitive or too anxious?

Lin Xuedong nodded nonchalantly and ruffled Liu Sisi's hair. He felt it was necessary to go up first to prepare, lest Xie Xue give the little woman a hard time later. "Don't worry, I'll be right back."

She let go of his hand, stared at him, and took a deep breath.

She nodded helplessly at him, reminding herself that since she was prepared, she had to face it no matter what, and it didn't really matter anyway.

After Lin Xuedong left, Aunt Wang also retreated to her workroom. A sudden silence fell over the living room, making Liu Sisi's heart race even more.

After a while, a series of gentle footsteps came from the side hall, and she lifted her eyelids to look in the direction of the sound.

The moment Liu Sisi saw who it was, her eyes widened in shock. Her face changed drastically, her mind went blank, and she couldn't show any expression at all.

She has come back? !

The pupils contracted and contracted frequently, and the focal length of the field of view kept changing...

When did she return?

Was it arranged by Lin Xuedong?

Her gaze, shifting between light and dark, finally settled on the round, protruding belly. Liu Sisi couldn't help but feel a touch of red at the corner of her eye.

A tearing pain in her throat left her speechless for a moment. Her heart felt like it was being pierced by sharp needles, and the pain made her whole body tense.

Her thoughts drifted...

Lin Lan arrived slowly, supported by her nanny.

"Sisi, we've finally met." Her tone was calm and composed, a far cry from the bewilderment and panic she had shown when she sought her help earlier. Instead, she sounded remarkably calm and confident.

This greeting was clearly pointed and indicated that they were prepared for battle! Liu Sisi heard it, but her heart felt as if it had been pierced by needles.

Knowing that today would be a trap, she still charged forward without hesitation.

Finally, the truth was indeed cruel. Yet, it also allowed her to shed the fear and unease that had been plaguing her heart.

But the pain and grievances in my heart are something I can't bear.

Liu Sisi looked up, her eyes icy, her tone devoid of any warmth. "When did you get back?"

Lin Lan, heavily pregnant, sat down and gestured for the nanny to leave. Then she turned to Liu Sisi, a hint of smugness hidden in her captivating phoenix eyes, and said with a smirk, "It was the day my brother brought you back from W City."

That means Lin Lan has been back for over half a month?

Liu Sisi felt extremely uncomfortable, so naturally she couldn't put on a pleasant expression. A dark light rose in her clear eyes as she coldly glanced at her.

Thoughts churned in her mind; she had so much to say, so many questions to ask.

Her hands, hanging by her sides, slowly clenched into fists, her teeth clenched tightly. She was Lin Xuedong's wife, and naturally had the right and the right to do so.

But it seems that everything is already obvious, so what's the point of asking? It won't sway my decision to quit.

She hadn't forgotten that today's purpose was to settle things once and for all. So, there was no need to become so hysterical.

With a faint smile, Liu Sisi sat back down. Looking at her former best friend, a chill ran through her. "The child...when will it be born?"

Lin Lan lowered her head, gently stroking her belly with her hand, avoiding Liu Sisi's cold gaze. "Something unexpected happened back then, this baby will be born prematurely, probably after the New Year."

Yes, this baby was diagnosed as premature.

After multiple examinations and proper care, she was relieved that her child's various functions and physical condition were basically up to standard.

Liu Sisi frowned, a hint of suspicion creeping into her heart. "Has something happened?"

Whether it was an accident or intentional, she remained skeptical of Lin Lan's explanation.

"Mmm." Lin Lan smiled slightly, a gentle light shining in her phoenix eyes, as if she were savoring the memory. "My brother and I... went through an accident. The child..."

The living room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, even though the air conditioning kept it warm like winter. Yet, a chill still mercilessly pierced Liu Sisi's heart, the biting cold instantly spreading through her limbs.

My heart clenched violently, and my body trembled uncontrollably. Even my teeth were chattering violently inside my mouth.

She didn't know how to start a conversation, and a series of images flashed through her mind. None of them could make her feel at ease.

That's it!

A sting ran through Liu Sisi's eyes, and her heart ached. Her gaze was drawn to Lin Lan's prominent belly—that was her and his child!

How can this knot be untied?

"Sisi..." Just as Liu Sisi was lost in thought, Lin Lan called her softly.

Looking up, through her blurry vision, she saw Lin Lan's ambiguous smile. Her calm, unhurried words were like sharp needles piercing her heart, each word a knife to the soul. "Sisi, I'm back now. Forget what I said before, your brother will never let you go. Right now, as long as I can keep this child, I don't care about anything else."

Ha! Liu Sisi suddenly found it laughable. What did she mean by saying she didn't care anymore?

The pain in her heart had numbed her to the point of numbness. Trembling, Liu Sisi parted her lips and gritted her teeth. "But I care!"

The few figures that appeared in her peripheral vision made her stop speaking abruptly.

Lin Lan raised an eyebrow slightly, her eyes lighting up at her reaction. She calmly turned around, and from the angle of her upward gaze, she caught a glimpse of the man's fair and handsome face.

He was still incredibly handsome, and he could still make her heart flutter.

The difference was that his deep, dark eyes seemed fixed on only one spot, tightly locked onto the woman who was slowly rising from the sofa.

Lin Xuedong stared intently at the woman, watching the tears streaming down her cheeks, his heart clenching. "Sisi..."
