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

Xie Zhanming spoke with great enthusiasm and vivid description, but he failed to arouse Xie Xue's interest.

She sat quietly in her seat, her gaze drifting slowly to Liu Sisi across from her, whose cheeks were flushed. She found Liu Sisi's appearance particularly irritating.

"They just come up with things to grab attention." She slightly raised her chin, her tone was relatively gentle, but her words were always tinged with arrogance.

Zeng Meiyu felt uncomfortable listening to this; what kind of talk was this?

"My mother-in-law..."

But before she could speak, her daughter interrupted her. "Mom, Grandma, we're planning a Chinese-style wedding. It will suit your and Grandma's elegance and grace better than Western wedding dresses and gowns."

Xie Xue was slightly taken aback, and looked at Lin Xuedong with some surprise. "You're going to have a traditional Chinese wedding?"

"Mm." Lin Xuedong responded softly, his gaze meeting Liu Sisi's tenderly, his handsome eyebrows slightly raised. "I want to marry Sisi in a grand sedan chair carried by eight people."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xue felt her vision blur and her heart tighten even more.

Then look at Zeng Meiyu, her cheongsam is elegant and her demeanor is serene.

Ha, saying it suits her and Xie's mother's temperament is less accurate than saying he's trying to please them.

“It’s not that exaggerated.” Liu Sisi added with a forced smile, her cheeks burning. This man really didn’t know how to be subtle and restrained. “It’s just a bride’s red dress, for good luck and celebration.”

"Where is that an exaggeration? You are the love of my life, and the only bride I will ever marry."

Lin Xuedong's confession was straightforward and passionate.

Liu Sisi was both embarrassed and happy, her face turning as red as a ripe shrimp.

Xie Xue, sitting across the table, gritted her teeth and averted her gaze.

"Hehe, sister, brother-in-law, Adong really made you proud this time! The eight-person sedan chair is so grand and lively!" Xie Zhanming's beautiful peach blossom eyes swept around. He could naturally tell from Xie Xue's displeasure and Lin Zhicheng's silence that they were rejecting Liu Sisi.

Zeng Meiyu quickly patted Liu Sisi's shoulder gently, "Sisi, just do the wedding the way you like, we like it too."

After saying that, she nodded and smiled at Xie Xue and Lin Zhicheng, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

“Mom, this is a decision Sisi and I made together. We want the wedding to have a traditional feel, because even if times change, the solemn commitment to love cannot change.” Lin Xuedong’s tone was firm, and his gaze was open and honest as he looked directly at Xie Xue.

"Fine, you're the most troublesome one." Xie Xue picked up her teacup, took a leisurely sip, and gave her son only a cold glance out of the corner of her eye, leaving an awkward silence on the table.

Liu Sisi took a deep breath and said softly, "Mom, don't worry, everything has been arranged. You and Grandma can go to the wedding company for a makeup trial tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Xie Xue frowned, exchanged a glance with Lin Zhicheng beside her, and then looked at Liu Sisi. "Let's do it another day. Tomorrow I'm going to visit Lanlan with Brother Cheng."

Lanlan......

The air fell silent for a moment, only Zeng Meiyu, looking puzzled, asked, "How is Lanlan?"

Tonight's family dinner ended on a sour note.

Later, despite Lin Xuedong's displeasure, Xie Xue insisted on taking Lin Zhiyuan back to the Lin family's old residence.

The bedroom was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, so Zeng Meiyu's repeated sighs were especially heartbreaking.

Liu Sisi never intended to tell Zeng Meiyu about Lin Zhiyuan's true background.

After all, it was a very disgraceful thing for Lin Xuedong.

But to her utter surprise, Xie Xue would release Lin Lan under the pretext of cooperating with the wedding.

"The Lin family's wedding is a big deal, and every detail of the ceremony must be taken seriously. The guests are all prominent figures in the city, and our whole family must be present!"

These are her exact words. The condition for the exchange was that after the wedding, she would take Lin Lan and Lin Zhiyuan back to Hong Kong to settle down.

They claimed it wouldn't disturb their lives.

In reality, this was another slap in the face for Liu Sisi. No matter how much she tried to survive, she and Lin Zhicheng did not welcome her.

Out of kinship and favoritism, Xie's mother didn't say much.

But Lin Xuedong firmly opposed it.

"Tell me honestly, what's going on here?"

Liu Sisi frowned and stood silently by the window for a long time.

Under Zeng Meiyu's persistent questioning, she sighed and said, "Lanlan developed depression after giving birth."

"Then why is Ah Dong so opposed to her going to Hong Kong?"

Logically speaking, even without a father, wouldn't it be better for the patient to recover if the child lives with the mother and maternal grandparents and has each other for companionship?

Liu Sisi turned around and said, "She has self-harm tendencies, can't take care of herself and her child, and in severe cases, she will even attack people."

Zeng Meiyu gasped, "Is the situation that bad? How could such a perfectly healthy young woman suddenly..."

So what did they go through?

She had a child out of wedlock and suffered a mental breakdown.

Sigh, there's always so much going on in the secluded quarters of wealthy families.

She looked intently at Liu Sisi, "Sisi, I think you and Adong shouldn't get too involved..."

Zeng Meiyu believes that since the child's household registration issue has been resolved, there is no need to keep the child with her. "The Lin family has plenty of resources. Keeping the child with you will only make you a burden."

"Mom, don't worry about these things." Liu Sisi subconsciously touched her cheek and said with a wry smile, "Zhiyuan can keep Zhihe company here. He doesn't have to suffer from the mental pressure of the elders. Giving the child a relaxed environment to grow up in is more beneficial."

“But this…” Zeng Meiyu frowned hesitantly.

Xie Xue has a strong personality, Lin Zhicheng is physically disabled, Lin Lan is mentally unstable, and Lin Zhiyuan...

Zeng Meiyu felt a slight warmth on her shoulder and looked up at her daughter, who had somehow walked up to her. She wasn't unaware of the struggle and bitterness that flashed in Liu Sisi's eyes.

But she still saw that gentle smile, like a look of relief on Liu Sisi's lips. "Mom, Lanlan will have a new life in Gangcheng. Adong said that when Zhiyuan turns 18, he will be able to reunite with his mother."

Zeng Meiyu sighed heavily. Her daughter was very sensible. How could the Lin family still reject her like that?

She raised her hand and patted Liu Sisi's hand on her shoulder, saying with heartache, "Sisi, I hope they can get over it soon."

Liu Sisi lowered her eyes and smiled softly: "Get some rest."

As soon as I opened the door, the man's tall figure came into view.

She wore a dark gray loungewear set, looking fresh and clean.

Liu Sisi paused slightly, then closed the door behind her and stepped forward again. "Are you all done washing?"

"Mmm." Lin Xuedong moved closer to her, his long arms tightly embracing her, his chin resting on her shoulder, as if afraid she might have another idea.

He murmured her name softly: "Sisi~"

Liu Sisi smelled the fresh scent of his shower gel, and her heart felt heavy. "You must be tired after a long day?"

"Sisi, what did you talk about with Mom?" He lowered his voice, put his arm around Liu Sisi and went upstairs, glancing at the closed door out of the corner of his eye.

Liu Sisi lowered her eyes and stared at the stairs. With each step she took, her heart tightened.

Back in the master bedroom, Liu Sisi didn't say a word.

Lin Xuedong thought for a moment and tentatively asked, "Is Mom... unhappy? Does she have a problem with it?"
