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

"Yes, yes... last night, you were drunk. When I had the hotel staff help you to your room, I answered a phone call for you."

Lin Xuedong looked up again, glanced at her, and asked, "Was that Sisi on the phone?"

“Mm.” Zeng Ziyan nodded.

"Okay, I understand, it's okay." He planned to call her back a little later after he had been busy for a while.

"No. I... I might have misunderstood her." Zeng Ziyan feigned distress, as if she had done something unforgivable.

Lin Xuedong put down the documents in his hand, leaned back, crossed his arms, and narrowed his deep eyes slightly. "What did she misunderstand?"

"I, I, she, as soon as she heard me answer the phone, she kept questioning me, asking why I was in your room." Zeng Ziyan's face was full of grievance as she recounted the incident.

"At the time, the waiter was still in the room helping you change. I was waiting outside the room to answer her call. I told her that you were drunk and had fallen asleep, and that you could call her back when you woke up. But she seemed angry and hung up the phone for no reason."

Lin Xuedong's handsome face remained expressionless. After a long silence, he finally parted his thin lips and said, "I understand. You can go back now."

After Zeng Ziyan left, Lin Xuedong held his phone, twirling it in his large hand. He wondered what Liu Sisi might have misunderstood, and why she was angry.

Everyone got drunk last night, so it's only natural for Zeng Ziyan, as her assistant, to help with the arrangements. Besides, for a heiress like her to lower herself to do errands, and then have to endure being vented on and questioned, it's easy to see how frustrated she must feel.

But with Liu Sisi, he could feel how much she cared about him. And that's why a woman's jealousy is easily aroused.

All he had to do was try his best to comfort her, so she wouldn't overthink things all day.

Thinking of this, he didn't care whether it was early or late, and resolutely dialed the number.

Power off?!

Lin Xuedong dialed her number several times in succession, and when he heard the mechanical female voice on the other end uttering that familiar "phone switched off" message, a strange sense of disappointment and irritation welled up inside him.

Is it really necessary? This little woman has quite a temper. Anything to vent her anger on is better than turning off her phone! Doesn't she know he'll worry about her?!

Perhaps due to his long-standing high position, he has developed a habit of wanting to be in control of everything. Whether in official or personal matters, he does not accept being ignored.

Lin Xuedong disliked this feeling of being out of contact, especially since she was the person he cherished most.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, his heart filled with mixed emotions. There was worry, confusion, disappointment, annoyance, loss, and anger...

But when he saw that small, frail figure curled up under the covers, sobbing, his heart clenched, and he unconsciously reached out and rubbed it a couple of times.

This is a feeling of heartache, very strong. All the so-called mixed feelings can't compare to the immense longing I feel for her at this moment.

He missed her and wished he could fly to her side immediately, embrace her, and explain to her in person that things weren't as she thought, and that he didn't want her to be alone and heartbroken.

"Sisi~." Lin Xuedong looked up at the ceiling and murmured softly, calling her name gently into the air.

He's currently in G City, thousands of miles away from her. What can he do?

Reason gradually returned to her. She remembered that she had been with Lanlan last night, so at least she should be safe. At most, she might grumble in front of Lanlan or sulk at home.

I'll call her later, or let her calm down, and he can go back and coax her himself. It won't make a difference if she stays for half a day; it's really not a big deal.

Lin Xuedong never imagined that this moment of hesitation would cause him to miss the love of his life, leaving behind a lifelong regret between them.

S City, Saturday morning.

The streets of the city, devoid of their usual hustle and bustle, have become exceptionally peaceful and refreshing.

The sunlight, without hesitation, pierced through the glass windows and refracted into the room, covering half of the apartment floor as always.

The woman curled up on the bed slightly moved her eyelashes, then fell silent again. After a while, she slowly regained consciousness.

She forced her eyes open, feeling a noticeable throbbing pain. The glaring light made her uncomfortable, so she closed her eyes again, shielding her eyelids with the back of her hand. After a while, she opened her eyes again.

Liu Sisi was certain she was awake. She remembered crying for half the night while staring at her phone. She stretched habitually, then reached for her phone.

After picking it up, she realized the phone had run out of battery and shut down automatically, so she dejectedly threw it away.

The small clock on the bedside table was striking 9 o'clock. I had been crying for half the night, and my throat was unusually dry.

She remembered what Du Zhentao had said: "Troublesome things won't go away; just get enough rest before facing them."

Yes, that's right, that's quite effective.

She decided to live each day well, and when Lin Xuedong returned, everything would naturally become clear.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Sisi got out of bed. She charged her phone first, then slipped on her thick, soft Stitch slippers and went into the bathroom.

Looking at her bloodshot eyes and pale, lifeless face in the mirror, Liu Sisi saw a picture of utter haggardness. A sudden pang of sadness welled up in her eyes, and she murmured to herself, "Enough, Liu Sisi, you've already lost before the battle even begins. Who are you trying to fool with this vulnerability?"

She sighed dejectedly, then angrily shoved the toothbrush with toothpaste into her mouth and brushed herself thoroughly, as if she held a grudge. After tidying herself up, she checked the refrigerator in the kitchen again; apart from bottled water, it was completely empty.

In this situation, she couldn't help but think of herself and Lin Xuedong. Unbeknownst to her, her life had become filled with that man's presence; she had long since grown accustomed to his care and companionship.

I wake up in his arms in the morning and we go to and from get off work together.

We cook together in the evenings, stargaze, chat, watch movies, exercise, and even handle business together...

Although they had only been together for a month, it felt like they had known each other for a long time. They knew each other well and needed each other; their days were ordinary yet filled with happiness and tranquility.

Liu Sisi couldn't deceive herself; she missed him terribly and didn't want their relationship to be damaged.

After a moment of contemplation, she became even more resolute in her decision. He had told her to trust him, so she would obediently wait for him to return and give her an answer.

So she grabbed her bag and her phone, which only had a third of its battery left, and headed out. Her car was still parked at Azure Peak, so she decided to go to a nearby supermarket to buy some groceries and grab breakfast, trying to figure out how to make the most of the day.

As I stepped out of the building, the sun was shining brightly.

The air carried a faint, dry scent, like the refreshing smell of sheets after a heatwave. Residents of the neighborhood were all out enjoying themselves; some were exercising, dancing, or with their children in the garden, all having a good time.

As Liu Sisi strolled along the path, she turned on her phone. Five missed calls popped up on the screen, all from Lin Xuedong around 7:30.

He finally called her back, but she didn't have the courage to talk to him back.

What should I say? What can I say? I can't explain it clearly over the phone; it will only cause unnecessary trouble. I might as well wait until he comes back.

Thinking of this, she stopped and typed a message to reply.

"Good morning, I just got up. I'm going to the supermarket to run some errands. I forgot to charge my phone last night, so I'll talk to you when I get back."

Upon hearing the notification, Lin Xuedong hurriedly picked up his phone to check. He was in his room, listening to Ah Xiao and the others give a briefing on the project for this trip.

The man's gloomy expression, which had lasted all morning, gradually dissipated after reading the message from the young woman. His deep eyes, which usually held a hint of arrogance, were softened by the content of the message.

She told herself "Good morning," explaining that her phone was just dead and that she was still in the mood to go and do her shopping.

Hehe~, it seems I was worrying too much. Now I can finally put my mind at ease, which has been on my mind all morning.

He didn't delay and immediately composed a message to reply.

"Good morning, I'm still in a meeting. I'll be home after the Chamber of Commerce dinner tonight. Wait for me at home."

"Okay, I understand." Liu Sisi replied quickly.

As Lin Xuedong gazed down at her reply, he could almost see her standing gracefully in the garden sunlight, smiling sweetly at him. His longing for her intensified, and the thought of her waiting for him to come home tonight filled him with warmth, a sense of fullness, and profound peace.

"President Lin..." Ah Xiao watched his boss's expression change from gloomy to sunny, inwardly grumbling. This man who had fallen in love was becoming increasingly uninhibited in front of them; such open joy was not a good thing.

Lin Xuedong put down his phone, his voice returning to its usual cool tone. "Okay, continue."
