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

City S.

No matter how reluctant Li Songze was, he still had to stop the car when they reached the finish line.

Liu Sisi eventually succumbed to exhaustion and fell asleep while chatting. Her head was tilted to the side, with half of her face facing Li Songze.

Her smooth, full forehead and porcelain-white, translucent cheeks showed signs of fatigue. Her long, slightly upturned eyelashes trembled slightly with her even breathing, and beneath her delicate, straight nose, her lips were pink and moist...

The carriage was quiet; so quiet that Liu Sisi's soft, shallow breathing could be faintly heard. Li Songze's gentle gaze lingered on her face, and he dared not move too much, afraid of disturbing this young woman.

At this moment, so close. She was right in front of him; it was just him and her, and she belonged to him.

Liu Sisi, why didn't I meet you first? What am I supposed to do?

You know what? I fell in love with you the moment I saw you. It was an uncontrollable feeling. This is really bothering me, and I feel so helpless.

But at the same time, I'm so happy, because I've never felt this attached to a woman before. I often think of you; my heart is full when I think of you, and empty when I don't see you.

Isn't that strange?

Haha, I find it incredible myself. I don't understand what kind of feeling this is, it's just that my heart is beating for you.

I want to be gentle with you, I want to smile at you. I want to chat with you, about everything under the sun, even the smallest things. But alas, I have no right, no position, not even the qualification.

Therefore, I can only pretend to be myself in front of you...

Liu Sisi leaned quietly against the chair, sleeping peacefully. Her eyes were half-closed, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned. She looked incredibly sweet; anyone who saw her would want to kiss her.

But he couldn't; he could only use his proud self-control to forcibly suppress the impulse. He could only steal a few more greedy glances at her while she was quiet. That was enough.

Time ticked by, and he remained turned to the side, staring at her intently for nearly an hour. Until Liu Sisi unconsciously shifted her body, her long eyelashes trembling slightly—a prelude to opening her eyes.

Li Songze calmly straightened his posture and composed himself.

"Mmm~." With a soft moan, Liu Sisi slowly opened her eyes and unconsciously stretched her back.

She composed herself slightly, covered her mouth while yawning, and asked, "Have we arrived?"

"Hmm, seeing you were sleeping soundly, I didn't urge you." He was as aloof as ever.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I've taken up too much of your time. Thank you." Liu Sisi unbuckled her seatbelt and began packing her things.

"How are the security guards in your community?" His car was parked near the community gate, implying that he intended to take her upstairs.

"Huh?" Liu Sisi looked up and met his dark eyes. Those black pupils, like a powerful magnet, seemed to be firmly attached to her, revealing an indescribable complexity.

Liu Sisi couldn't understand his thoughts, and subconsciously frowned, politely declining. "This neighborhood is very safe..."

Before she could finish speaking, Li Songze pursed his lips, and his next words brooked no refusal: "Come on, I'll take you upstairs."

"This..." Liu Sisi's big, dark eyes darted around in their sockets as she tried to think of a solution.

"I'm going to have a smoke too." He said this and then pushed open the car door, getting out first. Then, very gentlemanly, he walked around to her side and opened the car door for her.

"Thank you." Liu Sisi was helped out of the car by his hand.

It only takes 5 minutes to walk from the gate of the residential complex to Liu Sisi's apartment building.

Li Songze followed silently the whole way, while Liu Sisi felt a little uncomfortable.

The big boss was just being polite by offering to drive me home, so I couldn't linger too long, or I'd be wasting too much of his time.

So, she subconsciously quickened her pace. Each with their own thoughts, they both knew they had to finish this short stretch of road.

"Um, Mr. Li, I've arrived." Liu Sisi stopped, looked up at him, and said a little embarrassedly.

"That's it?" Li Songze's dark eyes scanned the stairwell behind her. It was already 1 a.m., and he sighed softly. "Could I use the restroom?"

"???" Liu Sisi was startled. It was the middle of the night, and the two of them, alone, seemed a little awkward. She lowered her head, her cheeks suddenly turning red, and she showed a strange sense of restraint.

When she couldn't see him, Li Songze grinned broadly. "It's almost an hour's drive back for me."

"Okay, then." Liu Sisi lowered her head and walked towards the stairwell door. Li Songze followed, his hands in his trouser pockets, clearly more relaxed than her.

Li Songze casually walked in. The girl's apartment wasn't very big, but it was clean and simple, and he didn't find any trace of masculinity.

Liu Sisi pointed towards the restroom and said to him, "Mr. Li, the restroom is this way."

"Hmm." Li Songze slowly strode towards the restroom with his long, slender legs.

While Li Songze was in the restroom, she took out her phone and found there was no reply from Lin Xuedong. She frowned; was the dinner party still going on?

She didn't think much of it and simply sent a short message.

I'm home, everything's fine. Did you get some rest?

She put down her phone and went into the kitchen to boil some water.

Having not lived here for some time, Liu Sisi opened the refrigerator and frowned in confusion. It was completely empty; apart from some things that needed to be cleared out, the only thing she could offer Li Songze was bottled mineral water.

The man, emerging from the bathroom, looked up and saw the woman bustling about in the kitchen.

She was very domestic, very virtuous, and very genuine. As he looked at her, his heart softened unconsciously.

"Phew~" The water in the kettle boiled, making a hissing sound. Liu Sisi was bending down to deal with the expired food on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator, and perhaps because the space was quiet, the sound she heard was rather jarring.

She jumped up to touch the kettle, but in her distraction, she burned her hand.

"Hiss~" Liu Sisi winced in pain and naturally shook her hand.

Just then, she felt a chill behind her, as if swept by a strong wind. A white figure extinguished the fire before she could, then grabbed her scalded hand and pulled her to the sink.

He turned on the tap and let the scalded area wash and cool down in the cold water.

"Do you have any burn ointment at home?" Li Songze asked, looking at her burned hand with a serious expression. Fortunately, it was only a small red patch and not too serious.

They were now so close that the faint smell of tobacco on the man, mixed with his clean breath, suddenly filled her nostrils.

Liu Sisi was startled and quickly pulled her hand away, backing away slightly. She stammered, "Mr. Li, I'm fine. I... I can... I can do it myself."

"Hmm, it would be best to apply some more ointment." He subtly concealed his nervousness.

"Okay, I'll take care of it in a bit." Liu Sisi handed him a bottle of mineral water, feeling a little embarrassed, and smiled. "I'm really sorry, I don't really have anything to offer you. It's hot, so please drink some more water."

Li Songze didn't hesitate; he unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back, and took a few sips, his movements swift and decisive.

"Mr. Li, you've worked hard today too. Go back and rest." Liu Sisi felt it was about time, so she politely reminded him.

Li Songze lowered his eyes and gazed at her, their eyes meeting. His eyes, filled with tenderness, held emotions that were difficult for others to discern.

Looking at the charming Liu Sisi before him, he suppressed the urge to pull her into his arms. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to suppress that thought.

After a long pause, he parted his thin lips slightly, his voice low and husky. "Okay, I'm going back now. See you next week."

In Liu Sisi's view, his staying until now was purely out of a man's sense of propriety. So she didn't think much of it, and besides, it was late at night, and it really wasn't appropriate to linger for too long.

As she saw him off, she smiled gently. "Mr. Li, thank you so much for bringing me home today. If there's a chance another day, I'll treat you to dinner to express my gratitude. Drive carefully on your way home."

"Okay, goodbye." Li Songze pursed his lips, his eyes darkening slightly.

Goodbye~.

The door closed, shutting out Li Songze's deep and complex gaze. He chuckled self-deprecatingly, turned, and strode gracefully toward the elevator.
