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

Chapter 591 I Did Not Betray Fidelity and Love

Stepping out of the private elevator, Gao Bing was already waiting in the elevator lobby. Upon seeing Liu Sisi, she smiled and said, "Madam, President Lin is in a meeting. Please wait in his office for a moment."

"Thank you, Secretary Gao." Liu Sisi nodded slightly in thanks, and continued walking with Gao Bing toward the president's office without stopping.

Stepping into the office, the familiar atmosphere instantly enveloped her.

It was the very faint scent of cologne that belonged to Lin Xuedong, mixed with the aroma of tobacco and the rustic, natural scent of wooden furniture.

She subconsciously slowed her breathing, her gaze drawn to the enormous solid wood desk.

The stack of documents on the table was half a person high, labeled with their urgency and project category, and arranged neatly. The laptop next to it was still lit, and a pen rested casually on the documents.

What truly captivated her was the understated yet luxurious genuine leather photo frame.

The two people embracing each other in the middle of the ocean in the photo are her and Lin Xuedong. The brilliant sunlight shines on the azure, jewel-like sea, reflecting golden rays that envelop them tightly.

That scene seemed to freeze time, with only their two figures, clinging to each other, remaining at the center of the entire world.

And this photo... was once a beautiful testament to their love!

Liu Sisi slowly sat down on the sofa, her eyes gradually becoming unfocused.

In a daze, the image of Lin Xuedong focused on his work appeared before my eyes. When working, his brows were furrowed, and his pen flew across the paper; whenever he had a spare moment, he would lean back in his chair, pick up a photo frame, his eyes gentle, and the corners of his mouth would unconsciously turn up, as if his heart and mind were filled only with her in the photo.

Now... Liu Sisi felt as if her heart was soaking in bitter water, listless and unable to describe the feeling.

Liu Sisi's thoughts were brought back to reality by Gao Bing's action of turning around to prepare tea. She then corrected him, "Secretary Gao, please just call me Sisi."

Gao Bing turned around at the sound, her gaze falling on Liu Sisi's face. She was wearing light makeup today, and her already beautiful face appeared calm and composed.

But Gao Bing had been by Lin Xuedong's side for many years, and his ability to read people was not lacking. How could he not see the trace of loneliness and forced composure in the woman's eyes?

After all, the wedding was suddenly canceled, and the truth behind the events may not be visible to outsiders, but it's all an open secret to her.

Gao Bing pursed her lips gently, "But in my heart, you will always be Mrs. Lin."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the solid wood door of the office was suddenly pushed open with a "bang".

The moment Lin Xuedong's tall figure appeared at the door, it was as if he brought an invisible force that made the dust in the air stand still and float.

The two exchanged a fleeting glance, and Liu Sisi's previously downcast eyes suddenly lit up. But then, that overwhelming excitement was quickly overwhelmed by a wave of bitterness, and although her lips twitched slightly, she couldn't manage a full smile.

"Sisi." As if hurt by the fluctuating emotions in the woman's eyes, Lin Xuedong quickly walked over, half-squatting beside her, then looked up at her anxiously with his tired eyes. "Tell me, you've come to take me home, right?"

Liu Sisi frowned in pain, turned her head slightly, and said in a tight voice, "Get up first."

At the same time, she gently pulled away the man's large hands that were covering the back of her hands.

She struggled to suppress the turmoil within her, constantly reminding herself of the purpose of her trip. She couldn't be soft-hearted!

Lin Xuedong froze, his eyes suddenly darkening.

However, he quickly sat down next to Liu Sisi, put his arm around her shoulder, leaned close to her ear, and whispered with a touch of the old intimacy, "I'll listen to my wife."

A warm breath wafted over, and Liu Sisi's eyebrows and heart trembled simultaneously. She subconsciously looked at the closed solid wood door, but Gao Bing was nowhere to be seen.

"I'm here to discuss the children's future arrangements." She choked slightly, shifting her body to the side to create some distance between them.

A deathly silence fell over the office, broken only by the heavy breathing of the two people.

A flicker of pain crossed Lin Xuedong's eyes. He slowly withdrew his hand from the young woman's shoulder, leaning back unconsciously, as if struck by those words. "Sisi, this isn't what I wanted to discuss..."

“Now that we’re divorced,” Liu Sisi lowered her head, her heart aching. She wrung her hands and gritted her teeth, saying, “The matter of the child also needs to be sorted out, otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to your parents.”

Looking at the woman's aloof profile, Lin Xuedong felt as if all his words were stuck in his throat.

After a long pause, he let out a soft breath, stood up, and looked down at the woman with his hands in his pockets. "So eager to break up with me?"

Liu Sisi's heart skipped a beat, and the muscles on her face seemed to have lost control, unable to produce any expression.

She looked up in surprise, a lingering sadness clouding her delicate features.

In just a few days, their relationship plummeted like a rollercoaster, reaching a point of utter despair and irreparable damage.

But when she faced the man who had once been so close to her again, her seemingly strong heart could not remain unmoved.

"For someone who plotted to kill me, caused me to lose my child, and stole my husband, I've already shown the utmost mercy by not stabbing her to death. And you? You've protected her time and time again, and now you expect me to just accept this scar as nothing happened?" Her palms were deeply etched with blood from her fingernails, the excruciating pain spreading from her palms to her heart. Liu Sisi could only bitterly force a smile, numbly and desperately denouncing his and Lin Lan's various acts of depravity.

"Take Zhiyuan with you. This is the end between us."

Inside his trouser pocket, his tightly clenched fists loosened weakly, and Lin Xuedong's tall figure hunched slightly, as if pierced straight through by a heart-wrenching blade.

For the first time, he was swept into a bottomless black vortex by a feeling of suffocation, and he didn't even have the strength to shout.

Silence was like an invisible wall, separating them further and further apart.

Liu Sisi turned her face away, her eyes stinging with tears.

Sweet memories of her time with this man flooded back, but those vows of eternal love were now brutally crushed by reality. Like soybeans thrown into a millstone, they couldn't escape their fate of being pulverized.

After Lin Lan intervened, in front of their child, all her past compromises and concessions became laughable remnants.

"Sisi, strictly speaking, I didn't betray our relationship." Lin Xuedong looked up, his Adam's apple bobbing as he took a difficult breath.

His lips trembled slightly, the subtle nasal tone in his voice like shards of broken porcelain, sharp and piercing. "You know, I've tried my best... but we clearly can't live without each other, so why can't we be a little braver?"

"I have my moments of weakness too, but I've never doubted your sincerity towards me..."

"But if you say you love me, you need some psychological support. Who can live a life without experiencing trauma and unexpected events? How can a marriage be without any ups and downs?"

“Fundamentally, I did not betray loyalty and love. Stop harping on that thing that I myself despise and magnifying it endlessly, constantly creating obstacles and putting pressure on our relationship. Is that fair to me?”

"From another perspective, this is also a test of our ability to manage our marriage. Can't we just treat it as a trial? Whether we can get through it or not depends on our joint efforts!"

Lin Xuedong raised his hand, stroking the lines on his forehead, his mind a jumble of emotions. After a long silence, he spoke wearily yet earnestly: "Sisi, do you understand what I mean? I hope you can look at this relationship rationally and calmly."

"I have never taken this marriage lightly. When I pursued you, it wasn't a momentary impulse; it was the result of years of getting to know each other and careful consideration. Please don't easily ignore or squander this hard-won relationship, okay?"
