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

"Ouch!" He winced in pain, feeling as if the bones in his wrist were about to be crushed.

Where does this raw energy come from? It's resolute and desperate, completely disregarding rules and regulations, yet it's irresistible.

Before Ah Xiao could regain his balance, his knees buckled uncontrollably forward, and his upper body lurched forward like a kite with a broken string.

His pupils were filled with Liu Sisi's silhouette.

The veins on her wrist bulged as she gripped his, her shoulders hunched slightly as she ran, but her back remained ramrod straight, each step seeming to be the culmination of all her strength.

“Ah Dong ——”

The moment Liu Sisi stepped into the private room, her steps froze on the spot. The wind whipped her coat around her neck, her hair tie had come undone, and strands of her dark hair clung to her cheeks, indistinguishable as sweat or tears, but unable to conceal her suddenly wide-eyed stare, her pupils brimming with an overwhelming sense of panic.

Ah Xiao, who was behind him, staggered two steps due to inertia before regaining his balance. He was panting heavily and hadn't had time to calm down before his lips were pressed into a thin, bloodless line.

"Sisi?"

Lin Xuedong turned around abruptly, the surprise in his eyes vanishing almost instantly. His brows furrowed sharply, and his right leg instinctively pressed against the wheelchair's footrest, causing the wheelchair to slide back half a step. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and his voice trembled: "Don't come any closer, it's dangerous!"

The moment their eyes met, it felt like an electric current surged through her; she could even see her own pale face reflected in his pupils.

The cold wind of the winter night was like countless ice needles, piercing into every crevice of the private room, the chilling air making one's bones stiff.

Liu Sisi blinked hard, and in just a moment, she abruptly turned her gaze away, her eyes following the heart-wrenching cries and fixing on the terrace.

"Put the child down... Please..."

Xie Xue knelt by the open terrace door, her hands stretched straight forward, her knuckles twisted from the excessive force.

The night wind whipped Lin Lan's clothes like a tattered flag. She leaned half her body over the balcony, her left hand tightly gripping the child's waist, while her right hand wildly brandished a knife. The blade flashed a blinding light in the cold wind, each strike carrying a ruthless intent to take someone down with her, forcing the bodyguards who tried to approach to retreat repeatedly.

"Get out of my way! Nobody can stop me!" Her voice was sharp and hoarse, like glass that had been sanded.

The bodyguards on both sides of the terrace were already on high alert, their eyes fixed on Lin Lan and the child in her arms, even their breathing became slightly softer.

Lin Zhicheng leaned against Xie Xue, his face ashen like a frozen block of iron, his chest heaving violently: "Lin Lan, you're insane! You vicious wretch! Don't gamble with a child's life!"

The child's cries were drowned out by his fury. The little body struggled in Lin Lan's arms, and his soft hair was soaked with sweat.

Just now, when Xie Xue desperately knocked Lin Lan down, Lin Lan actually held onto Xiao Zhiyuan's body tightly and refused to let go. Lin Lan turned around and kicked Xie Xue far away, rushing towards this edge of life and death with the child.

The wind was still blowing, carrying the sounds of cars below and breathing from inside the building, swirling in the air above the thirtieth floor.

No one spoke.

Only Liu Sisi calmly took out her phone, her heel scraping against the teak floor, making a clear, crisp sound in the wind: "Lin Lan, you dare to touch my child?"

Lin Lan snapped to focus, her eyes bloodshot like a spiderweb. "Your child?"

"Hahaha..." She suddenly laughed, a shrill laugh, her teeth chattering, "The son I carried for ten months, risking my life to give birth to, you call him your child?"

"You can't even lay a single egg, what are you doing here!"

"Sisi, don't go! It's dangerous!" Lin Xuedong jerked the wheelchair lever, the wheels screeching on the floor. He almost stumbled as he "slid" to Liu Sisi, grabbing her wrist. "Don't provoke her! She hates me to the core... At this moment, she's capable of anything crazy!"

Liu Sisi frowned, as if she didn't feel any pain, and pried the man's hand away.

She took two steps forward, holding her phone up, and lit up the screen. The video of Lin Lan abducting the child was clear and glaring: "Lin Lan, look carefully, the person you're holding in your arms is my Zhihe. You can't even remember what your own son Zhiyuan looks like?"

The child seemed to smell his mother's scent, shook his little head, reached out his hands to Liu Sisi, and let out a pitiful whimper.

Lin Lan's heart sank suddenly, and her body froze instantly.

She mechanically lowered her head, her nose almost touching the child's burning forehead, her eyelashes trembling violently, her eyes flickering as if she were desperately trying to discern something, or as if she were tearing at the obsession in her heart.

"You lied to me..." Her voice trembled uncontrollably, "He is my Zhiyuan, you are all so awful!"

Liu Sisi didn't respond, a mocking smile curving her pale lips. "When Zhiyuan grows up, I'll show him this video."

Speaking slowly, each word felt like a needle piercing Lin Lan's heart, "Let him see how his mother, for revenge, puts an innocent child on the railing of the 30th floor, forcing everyone to die with you. Then he'll understand why his father would rather let him live in a white lie than let you touch a single hair on his head."

"It's just pitiful..."

A cold wind blew into Liu Sisi's collar, but she didn't feel cold. Instead, she felt as if her heart had been frozen solid, and each beat was accompanied by a dull pain.

Looking at the child in Lin Lan's arms, who was reaching out his little hands for a hug, she dug her fingertips into her palms. "This child was originally an orphan just like you, but he didn't have your luck. If anything happens to him today, he won't even have the chance to feel the warmth of family affection, because of your crazy obsession!"

Lin Lan roared, "Shut up! You're a woman who stole someone else's man and can't even have a child, what right do you have to tell me and my son what to do?!"

"Sizzle—Sizzle—"

The hem of her coat fluttered in the wind, scraping against the iron edges of the railing, the scraping sound particularly jarring in the wind at the 30th floor. "Liu Sisi, shut up right now!"

The child in her arms was so frightened that he burst into tears.

"I can't have children? So I'll steal men?" Liu Sisi burst out laughing as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.

"At least I won't let my feelings rot in lies, and I certainly won't hold the lives of innocent children in my hands as bargaining chips!"

"You are vicious by nature and have never known remorse!"

“I can tolerate being jealous of me and targeting me! But what about A-Dong?” She stared into Lin Lan’s eyes, turned to point at the man in the wheelchair, and said slowly and deliberately, “This man you always say you ‘loved for a lifetime,’ didn’t you still stab him in the back three times?! You crippled his legs and made him afraid to return to the country for fear of arousing the suspicion of the shareholders.”

At this point, she suddenly closed her eyes, her chest heaving violently. When she opened them again, her disdainful gaze was like a knife piercing Lin Lan's face. "You're a selfish lunatic to the core! You keep talking about love, but all you care about is winning and losing! You're ungrateful and intolerant of any warmth. How dare you talk about 'love'?"

Recalling how, after returning from a business trip to Country J two years ago, she was apprehensive but still immediately grabbed Lin Lan and confessed to her that Lin Xuedong had confessed his feelings to her.

What did Lin Lan say at that time?

She said, "I will wish you all the best," and "I've let it go," and smiled as she told her, "Don't dwell on your past youthful folly."

But what if you turn your head?

She somehow got pregnant, and after a year of feigning compliance, she cruelly murdered me when I was at my most vulnerable during my pregnancy.

Now, her husband is paralyzed in his lower limbs and once considered giving up their relationship because he didn't want to be a burden to her...

Liu Sisi took a deep breath, forcing back the tears welling up in her eyes. When she spoke again, her voice was as cold as poisoned ice: "Stop making excuses for yourself! What you've done isn't about unrequited love or being unable to part with your child. It's nothing but a despicable desire to see others at peace, a fanatical obsession driven mad by jealousy, the lowest and most pathetic form of madness!"

Lin Lan's mouth was agape, her face as pale as paper. She was forced to retreat step by step by her series of questions until her lower back hit the cold iron railing with a dull thud.

Her eyes twitched violently, and her hand holding the knife trembled uncontrollably.

"Do you know why Adong brought Zhihe back?" Liu Sisi met her terrified gaze, the warmth in her eyes cooling with each step she took, until only an icy chill remained.

Suddenly, something flashed before her eyes.

"puff--"

A golden fork was embedded in the back of Lin Lan's hand, its tip sinking half an inch into the flesh. Blood flowed down the fork, leaving a thin red line in the wind.

"Clang—" The knife fell to the ground.

After a cry of pain, Lin Lan's hand completely loosened.

Time seemed to slow down by half a second. Liu Sisi's pupils contracted sharply. Lin Xuedong, who was bracing himself on the armrest of his wheelchair with one hand, suddenly bent over, and the bodyguard pounced on him like an arrow!

"Catch it!" Xie Xue's heart was pounding in her chest.

The child's small body, waving its legs, traced an arc in the air before being caught safely by a bodyguard who rushed forward in time.

His crying continued, but it sounded particularly weak on the empty rooftop, like a string that had been suddenly snapped.

Lin Lan stared at her bleeding hand, then looked at Xie Xue, who had already pounced on the bodyguard and taken the child back, and suddenly laughed maniacally, her body swaying.

He slid down little by little, collapsing onto the cold floor of the terrace, legs spread apart, the gold fork still trembling in his hand.

As Liu Sisi pressed the stop recording button and her phone screen went dark, out of the corner of her eye, Lin Xuedong's wheelchair had already "driven" to the terrace door. The collar of his black suit was blown up by the night wind, revealing the pale skin on the back of his neck.

Faced with this unfinished situation, his back was stiff, but he couldn't hide the desolation he had never felt before.

"Cough cough... cough cough, Lin Xuedong..."

"You brought Zhiyuan back to China a long time ago, didn't you?"

"You've been lying to me from the very beginning! Cough cough..."

"You have no intention of taking me back!"

Lin Lan was in so much pain that she saw stars and felt a tightness in her chest that made it hard to breathe, but she gritted her teeth and didn't utter a sound.

Looking at the man in the wheelchair, his back was straight, and even sitting down, he exuded a commanding presence.

His suit collar was slightly open, revealing a taut, pale jawline. His eyes were lowered, his long eyelashes casting a faint shadow beneath them, concealing the turbulent emotions within, leaving only his tightly pressed, thin lips, their color as pale as ice.

"You set such a huge trap for me?" Lin Lan's hysteria seemed like a joke in the face of his almost indifferent calm.

"Are you just waiting to see me go crazy, to see me die?! Just like the day I stabbed you three times in the back... You've wanted revenge for a long time, haven't you?!"

Lin Xuedong clenched his empty right hand, as if the lingering warmth of the force he had used to throw the fork still remained in his palm.

Receiving no response, Lin Lan suddenly turned sharply to Liu Sisi, her eyes filled with a fierce glint, as if she wanted to pierce a hole through her: "Watching me act like an idiot, hugging a scapegoat and going crazy! Don't you think... it's incredibly satisfying?!"
