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

"Here it comes~".

A loud reply came from inside the house, and then the door opened, and Zeng Meiyu greeted her with a friendly smile.

"Mom~".

Lin Xuedong, carrying his things, stepped forward and greeted her with a smile. "Hello, Auntie."

"Hey~, come in quickly, come in and talk." Zeng Meiyu looked up at Lin Xuedong, her first impression was good. He looked tall, handsome, and fair-skinned.

They entered the living room, and Lin Xuedong respectfully placed the items on the coffee table. He politely said to Zeng Meiyu, "Auntie, hello, I'm Sisi's boyfriend, Lin Xuedong. Just call me Adong. It's our first meeting, and these are just a small token of my appreciation."

"Hehe~, okay, okay. Oh dear, look at Auntie, she doesn't need so many things for herself!" Zeng Meiyu was overjoyed to meet her daughter's boyfriend for the first time. Her eyes were practically sparkling as she stared intently at Lin Xuedong from head to toe.

"It's not a lot. You can take those fruits back to your workplace and share them with your colleagues," Lin Xuedong said politely.

"Hehe~, that's right, that's right..."

At this moment, Liu Sisi made tea in the kitchen and brought it to the living room. "Mom, please let Adong sit down first."

"Oh my, look how happy Auntie is. Ah Dong, right? Come on, sit down." Zeng Meiyu grinned and gestured for Lin Xuedong to sit down.

"Here, have some tea first." Liu Sisi placed a teacup in front of Lin Xuedong and poured him some tea. Then she looked up at him and smiled, her eyes full of affection.

“Okay, thank you. Sisi, you sit down too.” Lin Xuedong sat down gracefully and pulled Liu Sisi to sit next to him.

Zeng Meiyu saw everything they were doing and felt the deep affection between them. She was secretly pleased.

"Ah Dong, how long have you known Sisi? Why haven't I heard her mention this before?"

“Auntie, we’ve known each other for eight years, but I haven’t bothered her before.” Lin Xuedong paused, glancing sideways at Liu Sisi.

A smile played on his lips as he took her small hand in his, their fingers intertwined. Then, turning to Zeng Meiyu, his expression was gentle yet earnest. "For so many years, I've been watching her. It wasn't until recently, when my parents pressured me to get married, that I finally mustered the courage to formally pursue her."

Eight years? And it was just a crush? That's such a long-lasting affection... It's a bit too unbelievable.

Zeng Meiyu looked at Liu Sisi with some surprise, then narrowed her eyes at Lin Xuedong.

“Auntie, I’m almost 39, and my parents are pressuring me to get married. But please rest assured, we love each other, and we will treat this relationship very seriously and carefully.”

39 years old? That's a whole age difference compared to her daughter. Zeng Meiyu was stunned.

In an instant, she regained her composure and looked Lin Xuedong over again. Wow, this guy is so well-preserved! At first glance, he looks like a male model under 30. He's quite a good match for my daughter.

"That sounds pretty unbelievable, so that means you've liked me, Sisi, for a long time?"

"Hehe~, Auntie, don't laugh at me, but it all started from the very first glance." As he spoke, Lin Xuedong glanced at Liu Sisi with deep affection. "I fell in love with Sisi at first sight, and my heart was captivated upon seeing her again."

Liu Sisi blushed at his words, so she glanced at him and whispered sharply, "Be serious and speak properly."

Lin Xuedong smiled but remained silent, only turning to Zeng Meiyu and jokingly saying, "She's a bit shy."

Zeng Meiyu's lips twitched, and she glanced at her daughter, chuckling lightly. "Hehe~, I don't see her like that often. She's a real little firecracker in front of me, quite stubborn."

"Mom!" Liu Sisi glared at her hurriedly. How could she be so mean? She criticized her in front of others on their very first meeting.

"Hehe~, Auntie, don't worry, I'll take care of these things from now on." Lin Xuedong said to Zeng Meiyu with a smile, and didn't forget to press Liu Sisi's hand with his big hand to comfort her and tell her not to worry.

Which child doesn't act spoiled and demanding in front of their parents? Simply put, they've all grown up and developed their own sense of autonomy.

Sometimes, disagreements and estrangement can easily arise when parents' views clash. But that doesn't mean they are unfilial or disrespectful to their elders.

He had long since figured out Liu Sisi's personality.

She is resolute, ambitious, gentle, and easygoing... Now she still acts coquettishly, cute, and throws tantrums in front of him.

Her captivating beauty was a deadly temptation in his eyes, constantly drawing his thoughts and desires.

"Then I'm relieved. Here, have some tea first, don't just keep talking." Hearing his promise, Zeng Meiyu felt at ease. She sat up straight, smiled, and continued to probe. "By the way, who else is in your family?"

"Hmm." Lin Xuedong took a sip of tea and said calmly, "My family runs a small business. My parents are both retired, and my sister and I help manage the company. Sisi is my sister's college roommate, and now she's a good friend."

Do you run a small business at home?

"Pfft~." Liu Sisi couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard his introduction.

"Does this guy have to be so humble?" She quickly covered her mouth and looked at Zeng Meiyu to add, "Mom, he's Lin Lan's brother, and also my boss."

Zeng Meiyu was stunned for a moment. He was actually the big boss?!

They must be from a prestigious family, so why would they take a fancy to their own daughter?

After a moment, her smile faded, and she glanced at Lin Xuedong with a hint of uncertainty in her eyes. "Oh, I see. But... well, you see, we're just a small family, won't your parents have any objections?"

“Auntie, you don’t need to worry about that. I can make my own decisions. In the end, it’s just Sisi and me who will be living our lives. As long as we live well, our parents and family won’t have to worry too much. What do you say?” Lin Xuedong spoke calmly and simply, but his words conveyed a firm conviction.

Zeng Meiyu's pupils contracted slightly. As a primary school Chinese teacher, she was used to lecturing. But now, standing before Lin Xuedong, she sensed the young man's composure and calm demeanor. Moreover, his attitude and stance aligned with her own, which greatly pleased her.

If he and his daughter truly love and respect each other, then it could be considered a good match. The only concern is that his family background and environment might not be something his daughter can adapt to or handle.

“Yes, you see, our family is quite simple. Sisi’s father passed away when she was young, and the house was left to her by him. My daughter and I have lived peacefully like this for many years. I don’t have many demands on Sisi. I just hope she finds a man who loves, respects, and protects her, that they can support each other, have a healthy child, and that the three of them can live a peaceful and happy life.” Zeng Meiyu looked deeply at Liu Sisi, her eyes sparkling with maternal tenderness.

"Mom~." Liu Sisi felt a pang of sadness and was deeply moved by her sudden emotional outburst.

She looked up and took a serious look at her mother; she was over 50 years old.

In summer, she cut her hair into a neat short style, and a few strands of silver hair could be vaguely seen between her two buns.

Because of long hours of grading lessons under the lamp, my eyesight started to deteriorate. So I've gotten into the habit of wearing glasses around my neck, so I can see things clearly from time to time.

My mother has always been simple and unpretentious, rarely wearing makeup. Her face is delicate and pretty, though fine lines have gradually appeared on her eyebrows. She dresses simply and neatly, never in a flashy way, embodying the style of a traditional educator.

“Auntie, your thoughts coincide with mine. Thank you for taking such good care of Sisi. Fate is truly wonderful; it brought me to Sisi and made me fall in love with her. From now on, I will cherish and take good care of her. You can rest assured to entrust her to me.” Lin Xuedong stood up, bowed slightly to Zeng Meiyu, and said sincerely.

"Oh dear, you child, sit down, sit down quickly." Zeng Meiyu reflexively got up and helped him up, grumbling to herself, but her heart was filled with sweetness.

After they sat down again, Zeng Meiyu asked, "So, what are your plans with Sisi?"

Lin Xuedong glanced at Liu Sisi, as if confirming something.

Then he turned to Zeng Meiyu, a smile playing on his lips, and said, “Auntie, Sisi and I plan to have our wedding in three months, and we’ll start preparing for it now.”

"Three months is such a rush?" Zeng Meiyu was taken aback, her suspicious gaze fixed on Liu Sisi, her meaning unclear.

Liu Sisi lowered her head shyly. Lin Xuedong answered for her, saying with feigned humor, "Auntie, there's no rush. I've waited for her for eight years. Besides, my parents are pressuring me. Since we're so in love, let's just get married. If we're lucky, I hope to have a healthy baby before I turn 40. What do you say?"

"Hehe~, that's true, that's true." Zeng Meiyu said with a smile.
