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

When Liu Sisi saw them arriving in a large group, she immediately got up to greet them.

She bowed slightly and greeted Li Songze with a smile. "Mr. Li, you must be tired from your journey. Please come in. We have prepared some light refreshments. Let's have lunch first, and then we'll go check out the site this afternoon."

As he watched the woman approach, his sharp eyes scanned her from head to toe. Today she was wearing a white silk blouse and cropped black trousers.

Her long, black hair was simply tied up, and she wore light makeup, looking as fresh and elegant as ever.

But upon closer inspection, the woman's face showed signs of fatigue, and she seemed to be putting on a brave face.

"Hmm." Li Songze frowned slightly, a hint of concern rising in his eyes. "Miss Liu, you've had a long day too."

"It's alright. The temperature in Hengzhou is always several degrees higher than in S City. We've also prepared bottled water and sun umbrellas when we get to the site. Just be careful." As the main contact person for the project, Liu Sisi tried her best to arrange things thoroughly.

Before they were seated, Liu Sisi introduced them to Wang Tianlin and representatives from Lin's Construction. After exchanging pleasantries, Li Songze graciously gestured for everyone to sit down.

"Why hasn't A-Dong come today again?" Xing Yi took a sip of tea, raised his hand to smooth the flaxen hair on his forehead, and asked with his eyebrows raised.

"Our CEO Lin is away on a business trip to G City." Liu Sisi smiled.

"Oh, so what are the arrangements for later?" Xing Yi looked up, glancing back and forth between Liu Sisi and Zhou Zhichen.

"Ahem." Zhou Zhichen cleared his throat in response. "President Xing, based on the two site options I sent you yesterday for reference, we'll arrange to conduct on-site inspections first. One of them has a town layout, with residences and basic road infrastructure. The other is a completely undeveloped hillside area, with flat land, rivers, and relatively high potential for development."

"Yes, I've looked at the location you suggested, and it certainly meets the requirements for the drill. I've brought a drone to film the site, and we'll discuss it in more detail when we get back to S City."

“Okay.” Zhou Zhichen nodded with his head down.

Just then, the waiter started serving the dishes. Because they had a task to complete, they didn't order any drinks, opting instead for tea.

Liu Sisi picked up her teacup, smiled, and gave a formal greeting to Li Songze and the others. "Mr. Li, thank you all for your hard work today. On behalf of the Lin family, I would like to offer you a cup of tea. The tea and dishes are simple, and we apologize for any shortcomings in our hospitality. We will arrange a formal banquet for you all when our CEO, Mr. Lin, returns."

Li Songze's deep eyes were fixed on Liu Sisi without leaving a trace. He gave her a deep look, picked up his teacup and toasted her in return before tilting his head back and drinking it all down.

“Okay, tell Adong that he's skipped it twice, and I won't be polite to him.” After saying that, Xing Yi also raised his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Liu Sisi's lips twitched slightly. "Of course."

After the meal, everyone tidied up and set off separately according to the navigation.

In the sweltering heat of late July, two or three in the afternoon is the most unbearable time of day.

Under the blazing sun, the roads in Hengzhou were parched and scorching hot. The asphalt felt soft and melting underfoot.

The air was hot and stuffy, and the sky was blindingly bright, making people feel parched, dizzy, and lightheaded.

It's like stepping into a brick kiln, where even if you pour cold water on it, it will be instantly evaporated by the intense heat.

The first stop was a town or township, where things were fine; they rarely got out of the car. They simply drove around the streets, inspecting and taking notes.

The second stop was a hillside area, a barren and undeveloped place. They parked their cars on a relatively high, flat area and then got out.

The thoughtful Liu Sisi, wearing semi-transparent sunglasses and holding a parasol, handed out bottled water and umbrellas to everyone. Finally, she walked up to Li Songze, smiled, and said, "Mr. Li, here you go."

At this moment, Li Songze was only wearing a white shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to reveal half of his strong, fair arms. He looked even more handsome and cool with sunglasses on, but the color of his eyes was impossible to discern.

"Thank you." He simply took the bottled water, unscrewed it, tilted his head back, and took two large gulps. Then he looked down at the vast land below.

Not far away, Zhou Zhichen and the others were helping Xing Yi set up the drone, while Wang Tianlin was pointing and explaining with a map.

Guo Zhenzhen was giving her statement, while Su Di and representatives from Lin's Architecture held umbrellas to shield them from the sun. Liu Sisi, as a representative of Lin's, accompanied the great Li Songze.

"Would you like to rest in the car for a while?" he asked abruptly.

"Huh?" Liu Sisi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up at him. But all she saw was her reflection in the sunglasses.

A moment later, Li Songze spoke again, his face still cold and aloof, but what he said made Liu Sisi feel awkward. "You don't look too well today."

"Uh..." Liu Sisi felt a little embarrassed by what he said, and unconsciously broke out in a sweat. She lowered her head. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Li, but I'm fine. Everyone is still busy, so how could I leave?"

Li Songze sighed softly, reached out and took the umbrella Liu Sisi was holding, then coldly uttered, "Let's ride together."

“This…” Liu Sisi felt a lightness in her hand and looked up at him again.

They said they would ride under an umbrella together, but in reality, Li Songze was very gentlemanly and held the umbrella for her.

How could I possibly accept that? He's a big boss, after all.

"I, I, Mr. Li, I think I'll just wait in the car." Liu Sisi hesitated for a moment, feeling that staying in the car was more comfortable than having someone hold an umbrella for her.

Li Songze's lips curled slightly, and he said something that left Liu Sisi with no way to refuse: "Get in my car."

"???" What kind of tactic is this? Isn't it even more embarrassing than standing still? Liu Sisi felt that she was now in a bit of a predicament.

Just as he was about to refuse, Li Songze turned and walked straight towards his Maybach GLS600. "Follow me!"

This guy is really something! So domineering and forceful. Liu Sisi couldn't very well argue with him, so she had no choice but to hold her breath and follow him.

The Maybach GLS600 has a relatively high chassis, so Li Songze opened the rear door for her. The automatic running board immediately extended, and Li Songze naturally reached out to take her hand, helping her get into the car.

Her hands were very soft, with smooth, delicate skin that felt wonderful to the touch. "Thank you."

"Okay, sit down first." Li Songze's tone was cold, and his emotions were unreadable.

He closed the car door, then went around to the back seat opposite him, and jumped in with elegant and swift movements.

The Maybach's cabin was luxurious and spacious, and the air conditioning made it very comfortable. The two of them were suddenly alone there, and Liu Sisi felt somewhat awkward no matter what she said.

She lowered her head, her slightly pale face showing obvious restraint. But a salesperson can't let the atmosphere freeze, so she forced herself to try and start a conversation.

Just as she was about to speak, Li Songze's deep, resonant voice came through, rescuing her in time. "An Ran is also in Hengzhou."

"Oh, really?" She took off her sunglasses, smiled politely at Li Songze, and asked, "So, Mr. Li, are you planning to stay a few more days?"

Li Songze glanced at her, noticing her discomfort, and said calmly, "Have dinner with her tonight before going back."

"Oh." Liu Sisi lowered her eyes, not particularly interested in people and things she wasn't familiar with.

“She knows you’re here too, and said she’d like to treat you to dinner tonight.” He wasn’t going to let her off the hook, and continued to entice her step by step. “Let’s eat together, then go back to S City.”

"I, I..." Liu Sisi looked up again, and at that moment he also took off his sunglasses.

She happened to meet his unfathomable eyes, so deep, yet seemingly brimming with a subtle tenderness...

Wait, gentle?! Liu Sisi was startled by this illusion.

"I don't want to bother you any longer, right? Let's make it up another time." She swallowed hard and politely declined.

“There’s no inconvenience at all. I’ve already agreed to it, and she’s very happy.” He ignored her, his deep, cold voice leaving no room for argument!

"???" This guy is really something! Liu Sisi felt his domineering aura again.

There was nothing wrong with what she said; it was just a friendly invitation. Since the person involved didn't find her a nuisance, it seemed like she had no reason to refuse.

"Okay." Liu Sisi smiled dismissively.

Actually, she had always found Ren Anran and Li Songze's relationship rather puzzling and awkward. She really couldn't imagine that someone as successful as Li Songze could have such a cliché love life.
