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

"Are you really bored?"

The man's laughter, laced with a hint of sexiness and allure, pierced straight into Liu Sisi's ears through the microphone.

In an instant, her ears felt as if they had been set on fire, burning hot.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xuedong's deep, mellow voice came again: "Sisi, wait for me."

"What?" Liu Sisi paused, instinctively looking out the window.

The sun hasn't set yet.

As Zeng Meiyu emerged from the master bedroom, her cheerful voice echoed freely in the hallway.

Besides the master bedroom, the second floor also has three suites and a study. Zeng Meiyu has the room on the side all to herself, while the second bedroom is reserved for the two babies and the nanny.

Liu Sisi's lips curled up slightly as she followed the sound into the second bedroom. "Mom, is Zhihe awake and starting to misbehave again?"

"Sisi!"

As soon as she stepped into the room, a pretty face unexpectedly came into view.

A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Sisi's eyes, "Lanlan?"

"Yes, I bought some clothes for the children, and..." Lin Lan said with a hint of mystery, pulling Liu Sisi inside.

She walked to the cabinet, took a gift box out of her bag, and handed it to Liu Sisi, saying, "Here, I wish you happiness."

Liu Sisi was stunned.

It seems like so long ago that she hasn't seen Lin Lan's open and pure smile again.

Seeing her frowning, looking thoughtful and silent, Lin Lan playfully nudged her arm with her elbow, saying, "I put a lot of thought into this."

Liu Sisi took the gift box. The box was not big and not heavy. It was rectangular in shape and wrapped in beautiful wrapping paper with a rose pattern.

It is exceptionally exquisite.

She gently shook the box, her eyes full of curiosity, and looked at Lin Lan, intending to open it: "What is this?"

The next second, Lin Lan stopped her. "This is a surprise. You can only open it on the night before your wedding."

Liu Sisi was stunned, and suddenly felt that the small box was unusually heavy.

Lin Lan turned to Zeng Meiyu, a self-deprecating smile on her face, her tone somewhat strange: "Aunt Zeng, look, Sisi must be afraid I planted a bomb inside."

In an instant, the air seemed to freeze, and the atmosphere in the room became extremely eerie.

Apart from Aunt Fang's wary look, Zeng Meiyu and Liu Sisi both looked surprised.

I thought Lin Lan had started to gradually adapt to normal communication with people, but it seems that her emotions are still easily swayed.

Liu Sisi subconsciously clenched the gift box in her hand, secretly adjusted her breathing, nodded and whispered, "Thank you."

"The wedding is in five days. Is there anything I can help with?" Lin Lan put her arm around Liu Sisi's arm, her face regaining its usual intimacy, as if the strangeness that had just flashed across her face was just everyone's illusion. "After trying on my dress with Dad, Mom, and Grandma today, I've been so bored."

“I don’t want to overthink things anymore, and I want to spend more time with my child, so today…” Lin Lan said, her head slowly lowering, her voice unconsciously becoming softer, “I couldn’t help myself today.”

"Sisi, please don't tell your brother that I'm staying with Zhiyuan a little longer before leaving."

"Lanlan, since you're free anyway, why don't you stay here for a few days?" Zeng Meiyu couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she picked up Xiao Zhiyuan with heartache and walked over to Lin Lan. "Spending more time with your child will make you feel better, won't it?"

As soon as she said that, Lin Lan's beautiful phoenix eyes lit up instantly.

Liu Sisi frowned, her heart filled with a jumble of emotions, unable to describe the feeling.

Aunt Fang stood to the side, stamping her feet anxiously, but dared not utter a sound.

"Is it convenient?" Lin Lan gently shook Liu Sisi's arm, her eyes glistening with tears. "Sisi, I really want to spend more time with the child. But my brother... could you plead with him for me?"

Before Liu Sisi could speak, Zeng Meiyu quickly replied, "Silly child, we're all family. What's inconvenient about coming to spend time with your child? Besides, it won't be so easy for you to see Xiao Zhiyuan when you get to Hong Kong."

"Really?" Lin Lan immediately let go of Zeng Meiyu's arms, snatched the child from her, and pressed her face against Xiao Zhiyuan's soft hair. Two lines of clear tears were incredibly moving. "Thank you, Aunt Zeng. Zhiyuan, I missed Mommy so much."

Seeing Lin Lan's contented yet vulnerable expression as she held the child, Liu Sisi couldn't bear to refuse.

Lin Lan's longing for her child is understandable, but Liu Sisi worries that letting her stay might cause new problems. Especially with Lin Xuedong, who still harbors resentment towards Lin Lan, the situation could become even more unsettling.

Amidst her chaotic thoughts, Liu Sisi looked up and met Aunt Fang's eyes. She saw Aunt Fang's brows furrowed into a deep frown, and she sighed helplessly.

Just as she was about to speak, a deep, familiar voice came from behind her. "Lanlan, come to the study with me!"

Lin Lan, holding Xiao Zhiyuan in her arms, suddenly stiffened, and the smile on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a hint of panic.

She instinctively hugged the child tighter, as if seeking protection, and looked at Liu Sisi with pleading eyes...

The study door slammed shut with a dull thud.

"Ah Dong, what's wrong with him?" Zeng Meiyu put Xiao Zhiyuan back in the crib, then frowned, her eyes full of doubt and confusion, pacing back and forth between Liu Sisi and Aunt Fang.

She simply couldn't understand why her usually gentle, polite, and humble son-in-law would show such undisguised hatred towards his own sister.

Lin Lan is inherently fragile and sensitive, and her emotions are extremely unstable. Everyone should give her more care, patience, guidance, and meticulous protection.

But he suddenly returned at this moment, and as soon as he finished speaking, he forcefully dragged Lin Lan into the study without even giving a simple greeting to the people in the room.

This is so abnormal and out of the ordinary.

Liu Sisi slowly lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, concealing the complex emotions in her eyes, "After dealing with things for too long, she's probably getting annoyed..."

After saying that, she sighed softly, raised her head again, and forced a reassuring smile: "I'll go take a look."

“No, I’ll go with you.” Zeng Meiyu’s brows furrowed even more; her woman’s intuition told her that this matter was anything but simple.

She was torn between not wanting her daughter to get involved in the conflict and not wanting to cause any more trouble. But her curiosity and worry were intertwined, and her steps became uncontrollable; she instinctively wanted to go with her daughter.

"Who gave you the audacity to come and harass Sisi and her mother?" Lin Xuedong's voice was deep and cold, filled with boundless anger, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth.

The lights were off inside, and the view from the east-facing window offered a beautiful panorama of the north and south. The afternoon sun at 4 p.m. was no longer scorching or intense, but rather spread out like a golden veil, outlining a faint golden edge around the city.

Light streamed obliquely into the room through the window, creating a distinct contrast between Lin Xuedong and Lin Lan, one half bright and the other half dim.

"You really don't take my words seriously, do you?" Lin Xuedong slammed his hand on the table, scattering the small ornaments all over the floor. The air seemed to vibrate, as if his figure was swaying.

Lin Lan instinctively shrank back, "Brother, I just bought a few clothes for the kids..."

"Bullshit!" Looking at the timid woman, Lin Xuedong loosened his tie in annoyance, his face ashen. He felt disgusted even by her last bit of hesitation. "Get out of here right now! From now on, keep your tail between your legs and behave yourself. You're not allowed to show your face before the wedding."

Lin Lan's expression froze. The man in front of her had his black suit jacket open, his hands on his hips, exuding a sense of oppression. His once refined and handsome face was now furrowed, his brows furrowed, making him appear exceptionally cold and stern.

The images of Lin Xuedong's past pampering and care for her seemed to have encountered a glitch, becoming increasingly blurry in her mind.

My heart felt like it was being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, each beat accompanied by excruciating pain.

Her lips trembled involuntarily. "I don't understand, do you hate me that much? Can't you tolerate me?"

Lin Xuedong glanced at Lin Lan and suddenly burst out laughing.

No wonder they say that those who achieve great things must be ruthless!

It turns out that what I've always called forgiveness has only been a constant drain on myself, plunging myself and those around me into an abyss of suffering.

The laughter abruptly stopped, and Lin Xuedong's eyes were as cold as frost on a cold night. "Why can't I tolerate you? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

"Under various pretexts, they had ulterior motives towards Sisi, repeatedly harming and harassing her without stopping."

"You're selfish and willful. Do you expect me to treat you like a god and let you continue to do whatever you want?"

Lin Lan's lips trembled, and her throat felt like it was stuffed with a wet wad of cotton, unable to make a sound.
