That night, Liu Sisi couldn't sleep.

She stared blankly out the window. The night on the hillside was as thick as ink, with only a few scattered stars shining faintly, much like the gloom in her heart.

She tossed and turned in bed, feeling that the air conditioner in the bedroom was unusually cold tonight.

Perhaps it's because I'm too lonely, so I especially miss that familiar warmth.

Finally, she drifted off to sleep and even had a dream.

She dreamt that Lin Xuedong gently embraced her with his strong arms, and her heart felt like it had instantly found its home.

She dreamt that his kisses landed on her lips as lightly as feathers, then slid down to her neck, each hot breath stirring her heartstrings and making her heart beat faster.

She dreamt of his long, slender fingers skillfully pulling off her striped cotton pajamas. His broad, warm palms gently caressed her slightly cool skin, each touch feeling like an electric current, sending shivers down her spine.

Her cheeks flushed, and her hands unconsciously wrapped around his neck. She tilted her head back slightly, completely immersed in his boundless tenderness...

Just as the ambiguous atmosphere was gradually heating up and Liu Sisi's breathing became more and more rapid, suddenly, a knock on the door was accompanied by Aunt Fang's greeting.

I opened my eyes, and sunlight streamed in through the semi-transparent window curtains.

It was a bit glaring, and even a bit ruthless.

Liu Sisi suddenly threw off the covers, her breathing gradually subsiding, but her eyes still held the lingering haze and reluctance of her dream.

Looking around the empty room, the air was still cool, but the longing in my heart grew stronger.

She longed to see Lin Xuedong, to truly experience his embrace and kiss.

"Madam, breakfast is ready..." Aunt Fang's smile froze the moment she saw Liu Sisi's soulless expression as she entered. "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

Liu Sisi sat up listlessly, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I'm fine, I just had a little insomnia last night."

"You're thinking about Mr. Xiao, aren't you?" Aunt Fang's lips narrowed slightly, a smile that seemed to conceal an unreadable meaning. "Assistant Xiao is already waiting in the living room."

"Xiao?" Liu Sisi frowned, her gaze following the figure tidying up in the dressing room. "Why is Assistant Xiao here so early?"

"I don't know, maybe I need to ask you about things at the company?"

"Oh." Liu Sisi nodded, then got out of bed and went into the bathroom without thinking much of it.

After washing up, she cheered herself up and decided to dress up.

Today, she chose a white silk dress. The dress is elegant and graceful, and the slightly cinched waist accentuates her slender figure. The skirt drapes gently, and as she walks, she resembles a blooming lotus swaying in the breeze.

Her shoulder-length black hair was tied into a simple yet elegant low ponytail at the back of her head, with a few wisps of hair falling beside her ears, adding to her casual and charming beauty.

Then, she took out the crystal bracelet from the display case and asked Aunt Fang to fasten it on her left wrist.

The woman had fair skin, and the diamonds shone brilliantly under the light, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

"It looks really good," Aunt Fang praised.

Liu Sisi smiled and gently stroked the little gadget with her fingertips, her mood brightening as a result.

After everything was tidied up, she stood in front of the mirror again and looked at herself.

With light makeup on her face and delicate features, she wore a small pale yellow shoulder bag with a white silk dress, making her look like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting, exuding a pure and elegant aura.

"Oh, Madam, you don't look like you're going to work dressed like that," Aunt Fang teased, raising an eyebrow.

Liu Sisi smiled but said nothing. She picked up her shoulder bag and strode out of the bedroom.

Because at this moment, her mind was entirely focused on the place she was about to go; she only hoped to see the person she longed for as soon as possible.

Ah Xiao was a little taken aback. "Madam, what did you say?"

He blinked, feeling increasingly bewildered by the couple's antics.

Liu Sisi blushed slightly and chuckled as she replied, "I've booked my flight and I'm heading to the airport now. Please don't tell anyone. You and Gao Bing will handle things at the company for the next couple of days."

“No…, Madam…” Ah Xiao and Xiao Zhi exchanged a glance and hurriedly followed Liu Sisi.

The plane took off, and outside the window, a clear blue sky stretched out before us, with fluffy clouds drifting lazily by.

Liu Sisi's heart had already crossed mountains and rivers, flying to that distant place where he was.

The research base for Lin's chips is located in the suburbs of Osaka, and it takes two hours to get there by car from the airport.

Throughout the journey, Liu Sisi gazed at the street scenes flashing by outside the car window. Her fingers occasionally fiddled with the crystal bracelet on her wrist, her heart pounding like a rabbit's, a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

I wonder what it will be like when I see Lin Xuedong later.

Ah Xiao, standing beside him, frowned the entire time, burying his head in his phone and laptop, dealing with company affairs with a sense of helplessness.

In his view, Liu Sisi's impulsive act meant that many of the company's business details and processes had to be completely overhauled. He dared not let her come across the ocean alone to chase after her husband, otherwise Lin Xuedong would definitely kill him.

At this moment, Ah Xiao felt that he had taken on a really tough job!

After passing through the neatly arranged village houses, the car slowly drove into a factory area located on flat land.

The navigation system shows that we are getting closer to the destination.

When the ten-story office building, encased in a glass curtain wall, came into view, the longing that had been suppressed for more than half a month seemed to reach its peak at that moment.

She was so desperate for Lin Xuedong that she was going crazy; the intensity of her longing was something she had never experienced before.

"Assistant Xiao, is this the place?" Liu Sisi craned her neck slightly, her heart pounding, as if her gaze had already flown into a room in the office building.

Ah Xiao looked up, then quickly glanced at his watch, his brows furrowing slightly as if he was worried about the timing, but he still nodded and replied, "Yes, President Lin should be in his office."

Ten minutes later, the car passed through the security gate smoothly and slowly turned into the front courtyard of the office building.

Liu Sisi took a deep breath before opening the car door.

Stepping through that bright glass door, a clear and bright space comes into view.

People came and went around, but there was no noise.

While Ah Xiao was processing visitor cards at the front desk, Liu Sisi picked up her phone and made a voice call to Lin Xuedong.

"Sisi?" Lin Xuedong answered almost instantly.

As he spoke, his bright eyes lifted from the thick pile of documents on the table, his slender fingers unconsciously tightening their grip on the expensive black fountain pen, his brows furrowed with worry. "Why did it take you so long to call back? I didn't answer your calls all morning, is something wrong?"

"Oh, it's just that I have to go to a meeting. Didn't Secretary Gao tell you? I forgot my phone." Liu Sisi subconsciously rubbed her chest, where her heart was beating extremely fast.

Hearing the woman's sweet response, the worry in Lin Xuedong's dark eyes instantly transformed into deep tenderness. Beneath his long eyelashes, his eyes were filled with unyielding emotions.

His lips unconsciously curled up into a doting smile, and he said softly, "Little scatterbrain, you worried me so much."
