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

Soon after, the main course arrived. The medium-rare sirloin steak was perfectly sliced, juicy, tender, and delicious, served with a lobster salad.

Faced with delicious food, both foodies instinctively reduced their conversation and focused on enjoying their meal in an elegant manner.

Enjoying delicious food can indeed relieve worries and anxieties. At this moment, Liu Sisi also unknowingly liberated her mind.

As the event drew to a close, she picked up her cup and took a sip of black tea.

Her watery eyes fixed on Lin Lan, she asked casually, "Lanlan, do you know why Zeng Ziyan joined the Lin family?"

Lin Lan picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth, inwardly grumbling, "Liu Sisi, you finally couldn't hold back anymore?!"

A smirk played on her lips, a slightly wicked smile on her face. "Hmm. Can you tell me what my brother has to say first?"

Liu Si thought for a moment, then recounted to Lin Lan what Lin Xuedong had explained to her the previous night. Lin Lan pondered for a moment, then looked up at her, keeping her in suspense. "My brother and I really didn't know anything about this before, just like he said. But..."

Hearing her raised voice, Liu Sisi immediately had a bad feeling. Her hands on the dining table unconsciously clenched into fists, she held her breath, and widened her eyes, waiting for her to continue.

"Sisi, don't be nervous." Lin Lan noticed her flustered state, and she was extremely satisfied with this reaction.

"But what?" Liu Sisi took a deep breath. She was a bit dim-witted and couldn't keep secrets, so it wasn't surprising that Lin Lan could see through her.

"She traded 5% of Zeng's shares for a year working by my brother's side, ostensibly as... a teaching internship. But who knows what will happen next?" Lin Lan's beautiful eyes fixed on Liu Sisi's reaction. Seeing her face slowly turn pale, she curled her lips and continued, "Sisi, they... aren't that simple, so don't underestimate them. I think my brother didn't tell you about this connection because he didn't want you to get involved. The waters of the wealthy are too deep; you need to understand him."

"Liu Sisi, you should know your own limitations. Take your time to figure it out." She didn't say this aloud.

What does 5% of the Zeng family's shares mean? She's willing to offer the entire Zeng family as her dowry, just to stay for a year? Isn't that a joke?

Liu Sisi didn't know what kind of expression she had right now; her mind was completely blank. She was somewhat unable to process what was happening and was utterly bewildered.

Seeing Liu Sisi's confused and bewildered expression, a glint of shrewdness flashed in Lin Lan's eyes, and she felt a chill run down her spine. She would continue to use Zeng Ziyan as a weapon, determined to sever her feelings and hopes for him.

"Sisi, Sisi~." She put on a mask of hypocrisy and used an extremely gentle voice to bring Liu Sisi back to her senses.

Liu Sisi's pupils contracted, then she refocused. Looking at Lin Lan, whose face was filled with worry, she asked with a slightly trembling voice and a bitter smile, "So, what else can I do besides believe him?"

"Sisi, you still have me. I'll keep an eye on things for you in the Lin family." Lin Lan patted her chest with a sense of loyalty, teasing her. "Although, Mom and Dad have always...tried and tried...to arrange a marriage between our two families. You know, marriages in wealthy families are all about interests. I'll keep an eye on things for you in the Lin family, but you'd better hold on tight to my brother's side~."

She deliberately emphasized "trying every means possible," ostensibly meaning she was keeping an eye on things for her parents, but there are always oversights, right? Then she couldn't blame herself.

As for Lin Xuedong, as long as Liu Sisi persists in her clinginess and is constantly suspicious, what man could stand it for long?

If they become too familiar with her, they won't feel the blame. She can easily distance herself from this diversionary tactic; ultimately, it's up to fate!

Liu Sisi lowered her head and fell into deep thought. If a relationship is truly obtained through such manipulation and calculation, does it still have any meaning?

But how could she accept losing Lin Xuedong?

Love is clearly about two people who are mutually attracted, cherish each other, and are of one heart. Why always have to involve so many other complicated things?

"Brother? You, what brings you here?" Lin Lan was pleasantly surprised by Lin Xuedong's sudden appearance.

Even Liu Sisi looked up at him upon hearing the sound, equally surprised. She had only sent him her location; why was he here so early, and why hadn't he finished his dessert?

"Hmm." Lin Xuedong nodded slightly in response, and then sat down directly next to Liu Sisi.

The moment he entered the restaurant, his sharp, eagle-like eyes swept around the room. In less than half a second, they landed on the dejected little woman. His heart tightened, and his steps quickened involuntarily.

He took the woman's small hand in his, his eyes filled with concern. He remembered her saying at the company that she was a little tired. "What's wrong? Are you exhausted?"

Sitting opposite her, Lin Lan narrowed her eyes, a burning jealousy raging within her. The man she longed for looked at Liu Sisi with a mesmerizing gaze, as if he were staring at the stars, oblivious to everything else.

Liu Sisi felt a little embarrassed. Always mindful of Lin Lan's feelings, she subtly moved her hand away. "Oh, it's alright. What brings you here?"

"You didn't drive today, so I'll take you home." See, what a great excuse! Not only is it flawless, but it also gives you the aura of a caring guy.

Lin Lan suppressed her anger, grinned, and gave a teasing look that seemed to make everyone envious. "Brother, you're so kind."

Liu Sisi, you absolutely must hold on tight to this person, don't let me down!

"I... I need to go to the restroom first," Liu Sisi said, making an excuse to slip away.

Watching her flee in a panic, looking rather foolish, Lin Xuedong felt a sweet warmth in his heart. He smiled, shook his head, and turned to look at Lin Lan, asking inquiringly, "What did you talk about with her?"

"Hmm, that's a good question!" Lin Lan organized herself and tactfully revealed the answer.

She wanted to completely disrupt their love triangle, while she herself would always be the kind-hearted person who thought of her brother and sister-in-law.

There's a hunter lurking behind!

“Brother, you know Sisi is actually a very simple person. She doesn’t have any wicked or scheming thoughts, so you should protect her more.”

"Okay, I understand. Please take good care of Sisi as well." Lin Xuedong was quite gratified. With his sister's help, he only needed to keep a proper distance.

The problem now is that Liu Sisi is trying her best to hide their marital relationship. If they could openly disclose it, many misunderstandings could be avoided and cleared up.

He simply didn't want to see her in a difficult position, which is why he kept indulging and tolerating her.

"Ah~, brother, I want to ask you for a reward. I also found out where Sisi has always wanted to go." Lin Lan seized the opportunity to flatter him.

"Oh? Tell me about it." Lin Xuedong asked with great interest.

"Hawaii. She was just grinning like an idiot when she mentioned it, and I was totally confused."

Hawaii!?

Hula dance... Stitch and Lily, it's the place she wants to go on her honeymoon with him.

"Hehe~, hehe~, Lanlan, you really did me a big favor. Tell me, what reward do you want?" Lin Xuedong laughed with immense joy.

"Hmm, the little wolf has fallen into the trap." With this get-out-of-jail-free card, the little puppy in Lin Lan's heart barked excitedly.

Knowing that Lin Xuedong was a loyal and affectionate person, she laughed heartily and echoed, "Is it that important? But let's keep the reward for now. I don't lack anything right now. I'm happy to see you and Sisi together."

“Okay!” Lin Xuedong readily agreed.

On the way home, Liu Sisi quietly watched the night view rushing past the car window. Her left hand was held by the man in the driver's seat, but her mind was elsewhere.

At this moment, all she wants is to calm herself down and reflect.

Lin Xuedong also remained silent, focusing on driving. He understood that some things required time for her to build confidence.

However, after hearing Lin Lan's betrayal, he was still quite pleased. Because this little woman was starting to care about him.

As soon as they entered the house, they changed their shoes in the entryway. Just as Liu Sisi was about to go inside, Lin Xuedong suddenly pulled her into his arms, his seductive, low voice whispering in her ear, "Wife, I missed you. Let me hold you for a while."

He held Liu Sisi's slender body tightly, swaying gently involuntarily, displaying a coquettish, affectionate, and spoiled demeanor.

Liu Sisi slowly closed her eyes in his arms, reaching out her arms to hug him back. At this moment, she wanted to cast aside all distractions and savor a moment of peace in this haven.

"I'm sorry." She apologized to him first. Although it was only three simple words, they contained her guilt, heartache and love for him.

She felt guilty towards him because of her own vulnerability and timidity, and felt sorry for him for always suppressing his own feelings, enduring his own pain, and silently giving so much for her. She thought she was completely moved, had fallen in love with him, and her heart had been captivated by him.

Lin Xuedong gently released her, lowered his head to get closer to her, and he could sense that her emotions had been fluctuating all day, and that she was very uneasy.

Their foreheads touched, their breaths mingling around each other's nostrils.

Her half-closed, watery eyes clearly saw his thin lips, and an indescribable emotion lingered in her heart. She wanted to tell him that she loved him, and that she would believe him.

Finally, it turned into a light kiss; this was the second time she had initiated a kiss with him.

The first time she kissed him, she gave him her body and soul; now, on the second kiss, she wants to give him her love.

Even after all this time, her movements were still awkward and shy. She tiptoed closer, and her soft, warm lips fell one after another.

Like a young girl stamping her favorite sketchbook, it is incredibly pure and earnest.

Lin Xuedong cherished her kiss deeply. He lowered his head, letting Liu Sisi kiss his lips, and etched the kiss into his heart. He was deeply moved, his heart trembling, for love was between them, and he felt a profound comfort and satisfaction.

As it ended, a faint smile appeared on Liu Sisi's lips, her heart fluttering like a deer's. Filled with happiness and joy, she blushed and asked, "Did you like my kiss?"

This was a question he often asked, and she was just repeating it. But in a man's heart, it was more alluring than sweet words.

Lin Xuedong's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily beneath his collar, his eyes fixed intently on her, and he answered in a deep, husky voice, "I like it~".

Liu Sisi felt a little embarrassed. She turned her head away and smiled shyly, taking his hand and leading him into the house while saying coquettishly, "Okay, let's go inside."

She just flirted with him and thought she could just run away? Lin Xuedong wasn't about to let her get away with it.

Without a word, he pulled her forcefully back into his arms. He hooked his arm around the back of her head and kissed her again.

The emotions that had been suppressed all day finally erupted, and the two embraced and kissed, their kiss urgent and passionate.

From the entrance hall to the sofa in the living room, they lingered, their passion intense. Until a warm sensation welled up from her lower body, Liu Sisi frowned and instinctively pushed away the man who was on top of her.

Lin Xuedong was deeply in love, his strong arms supporting him on either side. Looking down at the woman's troubled expression, he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

She pushed Lin Xuedong away and struggled to sit up, stammering with her head down, "I... I think... that... that time of the month."

Before the man could react, Liu Sisi clutched her stomach and rushed into the bathroom. "I need to use the restroom first."

"Sisi, are you alright? Do you need any help?" Seeing that the woman had been in the bathroom for several minutes without making any noise, Lin Xuedong knocked on the door and asked with concern.

"I...I got my period." Liu Sisi, sitting on the toilet looking distressed, called out towards the door with a miserable expression. "I don't have any sanitary napkins here...."

Lin Xuedong paused for a moment, then quickly realized what was happening. He called out to the woman through the door, "Sisi, don't worry. I'll go buy it right away. Wait for me a moment, okay?"

After saying that, he grabbed the car keys and strode away.

Liu Sisi sat on the toilet, unable to move. Her lower abdomen was uncomfortable, and her face gradually turned pale. She had never had any menstrual cramps or similar problems before, so why was she feeling so uncomfortable this time? Perhaps it was because she had drunk a large glass of iced honey water that afternoon.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Xuedong rushed back in a hurry, carrying a bag of things.

He handed Liu Sisi a bag through the crack in the bathroom door. Inside were nearly ten packs of sanitary napkins of different sizes and styles.

Liu Sisi chuckled slightly; he really was quite thoughtful. The CEO Lin had actually condescended to run errands for her.

Keep in mind, this is halfway up the mountain; the nearest shop at the foot of the mountain is a ten-minute drive each way. How hard must he have worked to buy so much in just twenty minutes?
