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

When the door opened, Lin Xuedong immediately opened his eyes.

What came into view was Gao Bing standing sideways against the heavy door, a hint of difficulty flashing across his composed face.

When his gaze swept lightly over the other figure standing stunned at the doorway, a clear look of displeasure crossed his face.

Gao Bing apologized to the man inside, "Mr. Lin, Miss Lin said she has an urgent matter..."

Feeling a weight on his shoulder, Lin Xuedong subconsciously frowned.

He raised his hand and pressed down on the woman's slightly cool hand to comfort her.

He then gestured slightly towards Gao Bing. "It's alright, close the door."

Rumbling--

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky.

The glass window reflected Lin Lan's face, which exuded a faint sense of melancholy.

"Brother, are you really taking Zhiyuan away?"

Lin Xuedong put down the documents on the table and stood up to let the woman behind him sit down for him.

He walked around the desk and stood in front of Lin Lan.

He put his hands in his trouser pockets, his eyes deep. "Hmm."

Lin Lan's hand tightened, and she glanced at the woman sitting in the boss's chair, coldly pursing her lips: "So, this is the arrangement you were talking about, where everything is arranged after the baby is born?"

Before coming here, Lin Lan had no intention of making any further concessions.

I never expected Liu Sisi to be so useless, actually accepting such disgusting things.

"Brother, I don't agree!" She glared stubbornly at the man.

Then, filled with resentment, he pointed at the woman sitting in the boss's chair.

"Zhiyuan is my child! She used to be so hesitant and indifferent. How can I entrust my child to her now?!"

Looking at Lin Lan, whose figure had regained its lightness, her beautiful face was filled with hostility.

His legs were together, his back straight, as if he were ready to meet any challenge at any time.

Liu Sisi pursed her lips, her hands twisting together under the table.

This decision was not easy for her to make.

Her gaze shifted to the man who was also standing ramrod straight, and her breathing tightened slightly.

As if he had expected this, Lin Xuedong calmly said, "Lanlan, this is the least disruptive way, do you understand?"

Lin Lan's eyelashes trembled, and her heart felt like it had been thrown into a muddy puddle on the road outside.

Let tires run over it, let pedestrians hurry by.

She's despicable, but does that mean her child has to be at the mercy of others?

His whole body was trembling, grief and despair churning in his eyes. "No! You can't do this."

"He is my child—"

Even if the Lin family doesn't acknowledge him, I won't let him fall into this woman's hands!

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuedong frowned, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

After a long pause, he sighed and reached out to ruffle Lin Lan's hair. "You go back first, okay? I'll talk to you later when we get back to the old house, alright?"

Lin Lan held her breath, a flicker of broken light hidden in her eyes.

She shook her head as she backed away, her gaze shifting between Liu Sisi and Lin Xuedong's faces.

"Ha!"

Her lips twitched coldly, and she steeled her resolve. "There's nothing more to say. I've already left the Lin family. Therefore, my child and I have absolutely nothing to do with you anymore..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuedong's eyes suddenly turned desolate.

He immediately grabbed Lin Lan's coat sleeve. "Lan Lan, now is not the time to make a scene."

Liu Sisi, who was sitting in the boss's chair, couldn't sit still any longer and stood up, intending to take a step.

But Lin Xuedong's shout silenced her.

"Sisi, don't move—"

Lin Lan then got a clear look at Liu Sisi.

It's been several months since we last met.

Even though she was wearing a long, fitted coat in taro purple, she still looked a bit rounder than before.

It even allows one to feel the beauty of life's curves.

His phoenix eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly.

The warmth in his eyes vanished instantly, replaced by a mixture of resentment and bitterness.

The silence in the vast CEO's office seemed to brew a new vortex of power struggle among the various factions.

After a long while, Lin Lan lowered her eyes and stared at the tightly clenched sleeve, giving a bleak smile.

"Sisi, do you truly believe this man, or are you simply used to being deceived by him?"

After saying that, he forcefully shook off Lin Xuedong, then turned around abruptly and slammed his fist on the desk.

The next second, her waist was locked from behind, preventing her from threatening further.

But Lin Lan still roared at Liu Sisi: "In front of him, I admit I'm cheap, but you—"

Not satisfied, she pointed at Liu Sisi, her face revealing a hysteria she'd never seen before: "You're stupid! Hahaha..."

Liu Sisi's heart skipped a beat, and her expression changed drastically.

In that instant, it felt like a thousand needles were piercing my head; I couldn't tell if it was pain or numbness.

The air conditioner air vents were blowing down, and although the temperature was supposed to be comfortable, she didn't feel any warmth at all.

"Lanlan, calm down!" Lin Xuedong's face was ashen; he hadn't expected Lin Lan to suddenly go berserk.

But no matter what, he couldn't let her hurt his woman.

"Calm down?! How can I calm down?!"

Lin Lan struggled frantically.

Unfortunately, the difference in strength was too great, and Lin Xuedong subdued her with just one hand, rendering her immobile.

Panting heavily, she shook the messy strands of hair from her forehead and stared intently at Liu Sisi.

"Liu Sisi, you're really annoying! How come I never noticed you were such a two-faced person before? Let me tell you, you won't get away with this—"

"Lanlan, shut up!" Lin Xuedong shouted at her while dialing a number on his phone.

Every rise and fall of his chest was a restraint of the rage surging within him.

Liu Sisi, who was stunned in place, moved her pale lips slightly and heard her own obviously hollow voice.

He made a single, emphasized statement, but without any real conviction: "I didn't. It's all your doing, trying to sow discord."

"Hahaha..." Lin Lan continued to provoke, "Do you know how I got pregnant?"

Lin Xuedong's dark pupils contracted sharply, and almost without hesitation, he covered Lin Lan's mouth tightly. "Enough—"

"Mmmmm..."

That was the embrace she had always longed for.

At this moment, Lin Lan's back was pressed against the man's warm chest.

The faint scent of cologne filled the air, and with each exhalation, the familiar aroma permeated every nerve in his body.

Even in dire straits, she still craved it.

Soon, Lin Lan's face turned bright red.

His body went limp.

Upon noticing her reaction, Liu Sisi felt a pang of anxiety.

"Ah Dong, let her go..."

She didn't want to see the two of them continue to entangle themselves.

My mind was in turmoil, but I still subconsciously lifted my foot.

Lin Lan was startled, then twisted her body, trying to break free.

His eyes glared menacingly at the woman who was striding towards him; the more he looked at her, the more loathing he felt.

The deep wrinkles between Lin Xuedong's brows were so pronounced they looked like they could trap a fly. "Go back and sit down. Lanlan is emotionally unstable; you don't need to argue with her."

"Let me go..., mmm..."

Trying hard to suppress the bitterness in her heart, Liu Sisi looked at Lin Lan.

My former best friend has turned into such a terrible mess with me.

How ridiculous!

She took a deep breath and looked at Lin Lan coldly.

My heart pounded in my chest, but I felt no more pity for her. "How did you get it? Ha, even if I say it a thousand times, it's still a despicable thing! How dare you even say it?"
