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

"Brother, our Zhiyuan has finally been born! I'm so happy. Thank you..." Lin Lan cried tears of joy. Although she was weak and powerless, the hand she held in Lin Xuedong's grasp felt like a rope, making it hard for him to breathe.

Xie Xue, who was standing on the other side of the hospital bed, looked slightly sullen.

She glanced at Lin Xuedong, sighed, handed him a tissue, and then said to Lin Lan, "Lanlan, what are you saying? Isn't childbirth like a woman walking through the gates of hell? Our family should be thanking you; you're a hero for Zhiyuan's safe birth."

"No, Mommy, Zhiyuan is a gift from my brother. I..." Lin Lan wiped away her tears, too excited to continue.

"Silly girl, don't cry. You need to be comfortable during your postpartum period." Xie Xue coaxed gently, then turned to Lin Xuedong, swallowing the anger she had been holding back.

The man's grip on her hand felt like a timely warm current that dispelled the chill.

Lin Lan felt tired and slowly closed her eyes, a smile instantly spreading across her face. "Brother, don't go..."

It's too late at night.

The surroundings were enveloped in an eerie silence.

"Are you alright?" With a puff of smoke, Xie Zhanming slightly raised his chin and looked at the man leaning against the wall.

The light in the hallway slanted in through the cracks in the door.

He saw the man's long legs shift slightly, as if he had changed his posture, but the movement was not very natural.

Then, after a long silence, a hint of melancholy crept into his deep voice. "Mm."

"You didn't give in again, did you?"

The word "again" was spoken neither too lightly nor too heavily, yet it was enough to make the man, who had been crossing his arms, let his arms fall limply to his sides.

He seemed very tired, leaning against the wall and staring blankly at the ceiling, responding aimlessly, "No..."

Xie Zhanming reached into his trouser pocket with one hand, took a drag of his cigarette, tilted his head, and exhaled a smoke ring. He chuckled softly, "Stop being indecisive. If you don't make a firm decision, you'll only get hurt more."

indecisive....

Does he have it?

It was all planned out that we would stage a scene of forceful robbery during the team building activity.

Little did they know, Li Songze had completely ruined it.

Little did they know, Xie Xue and Lin Lan would arrive with them!

Little did they know that, due to a sudden shock, Lin Lan experienced blood loss during childbirth.

The fragments in his mind were chaotic; the gushing blood and the screams of the woman in labor were driving him crazy.

a long time.

Lin Xuedong rubbed his forehead; after a long day of work, his eyes were bloodshot.

But the sourness and discomfort there couldn't outweigh the heart-wrenching pain. "Sisi knows about the miscarried child."

Now, his first child has been born safely.

Lacking the excitement of becoming a father for the first time, Lin Xuedong was in a daze all day.

The overwhelming guilt was almost unbearable for him.

That feeling of powerlessness, like having something and then knowing you could lose it at any moment, made him feel as if he were in a wilderness, seemingly calm on the surface but struggling to move forward.

Xie Zhanming leaned forward, patted him on the shoulder, and shook his head, saying, "Don't panic. Don't you still have some chips to play?"

After a long silence, Lin Xuedong opened his eyes, put his hands in his coat pockets, and stood up straight.

Concealing his dejection, his dark eyes were deeper than the night. "Uncle, I'll leave this place to you for now..."

The digital clock in the guest room ticked to 1 a.m.

The woman, hugging her knees and leaning against the headboard, remained in that position, lost in thought for an unknown amount of time.

Finally, a sudden cramp in my calf snapped me back to reality.

"ah--."

She was in so much pain that she curled up and rolled around on the bed, her brows furrowed.

Just as she was in so much pain that she didn't know what to do, her body was suddenly pulled up.

Her feet touched the ground, and she smelled the disinfectant. Her cheek was already pressed against that warm chest.

Liu Sisi was stunned for two seconds. Her blood rushed downwards, which relieved much of the convulsing pain.

But precisely because of this, she also felt a tingling sensation on her scalp. "How did you get in?"

"Shh..." Lin Xuedong hugged her tightly, his heart aching for her. "Don't talk, calm down first."

Warm breath sprayed onto Liu Sisi's glossy black hair, one breath after another, like a silent comfort.

After a while.

Are you feeling better?

The woman nodded slightly, their bodies pressed tightly together, neither seeming willing to let go first.

"Have you been getting cramps a lot lately?" Lin Xuedong gently kissed her hair, his voice low, afraid of offending her.

Liu Sisi shook her head. "No, I was just thinking about something..."

Are you thinking of me?

Liu Sisi frowned, pressed against his slightly heaving chest, and pulled away.

She tilted her porcelain-white face up, her cherry lips twitching slightly. "Yes, I was thinking of you."

The man was still impeccably dressed, the dust and grime on his black overcoat barely concealed. "Did you take Lanlan to the hospital? How is she?"

Lin Xuedong lowered his eyes. The soft indoor light filled his eyes, and a tender emotion welled up within them.

"Lanlan has given birth, and both mother and child are safe."

Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi felt a chill run down her spine.

Even though my body was being embraced by warmth, it felt as if I had fallen into an emptiness. My mind was completely blank, with only a buzzing noise in my head.

She knew what that meant...

They got married and then divorced.

Lin Lan's child was born.

She miscarried, and the child's father admitted it himself.

It seems that, finally, finally, things are about to settle down.

"Well, then congratulations to you and Lanlan." Liu Sisi's eyes were vacant, and her smile was ambiguous as she looked down. "You can finally truly let go, right?"

Despite her immense reluctance, Liu Sisi bit her lip and pushed away the embrace she cherished so dearly.

What about mutual support in times of hardship, what about a long and steady relationship?

She could wait for no more affection or love.

The message was: "Lanlan has given birth, and both mother and child are safe."

It was like a sharp knife that ripped open her heart, and blood gushed out.

How much longer will this pain last?

The bubble burst, but she had no tears left to shed.

All bitter loneliness has found its way home.

Lin Xuedong took a deep breath and tightened his arms around the woman, preventing her from escaping.

Her voice trembled slightly, almost unnaturally. A torrent of deep emotion welled up within her, threatening to erupt. "No! Sisi, I simply can't do it."

Her image is ingrained in my bones and has become part of my blood.

If he cannot touch her, he will become a zombie that cannot be nourished by blood.

"Sisi, let's stop lying to ourselves, okay? I know you love me. Life is short, why can't you forgive me this once? Sisi, forgive me, please give our love another chance, okay?"

"what are you saying?"

Liu Sisi raised her red and sore eyes, her gaze filled with confusion even though they were so close.

"Sisi, I love you. Please don't let go. We'll have children, we'll have children that belong to us." Lin Xuedong's expression was urgent, his eyes burning.

Now that Lin Lan has safely given birth, he has one less worry.

This will allow me to wholeheartedly protect the woman in front of me.

My gaze involuntarily drifted down and landed on her tightly pressed lower abdomen.

Lin Xuedong's mood suddenly brightened. He raised his hand and gently brushed away the stray hairs on the woman's forehead with his fingertips.

His eyes, as clear as obsidian, were fixed intently on Liu Sisi's melancholy face.

He spoke slowly, each word clear. "That child didn't stay because the circumstances didn't allow it. Silly girl, our Siyang, how could I not be heartbroken? But between the two, the one I can't lose... is you. Sisi, come back, come back to me, let's find Siyang together, okay?"
