How many loves can be relived in the story of a devoted CEO pursuing his wife?
Chapter 93 Frustration
Li Songze didn't expect her to come too; now she was standing next to another man.
You could tell she was nervous and stiff, but there was an undeniable happiness in her eyes.
He stood with his hands in his pockets, silently watching the woman on the stage, a faint sense of loneliness gradually emanating from him.
Another sharp, intimidating gaze was fixed on Liu Sisi from below the stage, filled with jealousy and resentment. Zeng Ziyan truly hadn't expected Lin Xuedong to choose tonight's birthday banquet to vindicate her.
She bit her lip tightly, her eyes fixed on the two of them, cursing inwardly. "Liu Sisi, I'll make sure you 'die in the light'! Soon!"
Then, she shifted her gaze to Lin Lan, who was also on stage, and her lips twitched. When she noticed Du Zhentao next to Lin Lan, her eyes narrowed, her gaze turned cold, and she seemed to have made up her mind.
Wow, this is going to be a great show!
At this moment, a cheerful birthday song filled the room, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.
On stage, Lin Zhicheng happily took the cake-cutting knife and, amidst the blessings and applause of the crowd, symbolically made the first cut into the cake.
Then, taking the microphone from Gao Bing, her face beaming with happiness, she said, "Thank you to all my relatives, friends, and partners for your blessings, which made this a joyful and unforgettable birthday. I also wish everyone good health and happiness for your families!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another round of cheers and applause erupted from the audience. A moment later, the lights in the banquet hall were dimmed, and then melodious dance music began to play.
Lin Zhicheng led Xie Xue in a dance, and other guests who had already found dance partners joined in, creating a harmonious, warm, and elegant atmosphere.
Chen Meiyuan stood beside Li Songze, warmly inviting him to dance, and asked with a smile, "Brother Li, you're in a good mood today, will you reward me with a dance?"
Li Songze glanced down at Chen Meiyuan, noticing her alluring smile, which carried a seductive undertone.
He glanced at the woman being led down from the stage by Lin Xuedong, hesitated for a moment, and then grunted through gritted teeth.
That demure hum filled Chen Meiyuan with joy. Excited, she forgot all about her socialite image and reserve. With a beaming smile, she grabbed Li Songze's wrist and headed straight for the dance floor.
On the other side, Lin Xuedong gently pulled Liu Sisi into his arms and led her into the dance floor.
"I don't really understand," Liu Sisi said, looking embarrassed.
Lin Xuedong leaned down and whispered in her ear, his voice gentle as water, "Don't worry, just stay with me."
Liu Sisi was completely stunned, so she kept stepping on Lin Xuedong's feet.
Her delicate brows furrowed repeatedly, and embarrassment filled her pretty face. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Lin Xuedong merely frowned slightly, his eyes fixed intently on her. His handsome face remained adorned with a gentle smile, showing no sign of annoyance.
He held her slender waist tightly with one hand, leading her in a graceful dance, turning her around elegantly.
A handmade suit accentuated his tall and upright figure. As Liu Sisi twirled and danced, her skirt fluttered gracefully, creating a charming and delightful sight.
His deep black eyes remained fixed on her, and a captivating smile gradually appeared on his handsome face.
He pursed his thin lips, lowered his head slightly, and couldn't help but utter ambiguous words: "Sisi, I want to kiss you."
Liu Sisi raised her eyes and looked down at him. To minimize mistakes, she had painstakingly memorized every step. Ha, and he, knowing full well that he didn't know how to dance, still tried to take advantage of her.
Not wanting him to get so carried away, she gave him a gentle, angry warning. "Lin Xuedong, don't you dare do anything reckless!"
"Hehe~." Lin Xuedong laughed heartily, a laugh that came from the depths of his heart. Two shallow dimples quickly appeared from the corners of his mouth.
What man could resist the charm of his beloved's playful teasing?
His heart softened, and he couldn't resist teasing her. "So, tonight... are you ready?"
“You!” she exclaimed, her eyes wide.
"What's wrong with me?" Lin Xuedong's lips curled into a smile, looking confident and determined. He missed her, missed her terribly, and longed to hold her and kiss her endlessly.
Liu Sisi sensed the change in his body temperature and quickly turned her face away, ignoring him. This guy just can't seem to shake that habit of... well, you know.
Seeing the petulant and shy expression on the young woman's face, Lin Xuedong felt as sweet as if his heart had been filled with honey. With his beloved wife in his arms, the feeling of dancing with her filled him with romance, intoxication, and contentment.
He swayed to Liu Sisi's dance moves and greeted Lin Lan and Du Zhentao.
His deep eyes met Lin Lan's pair of empty, watery eyes, and he saw the disappointment and dejection in them. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he frowned slightly, puzzled.
Just then, the music changed, and the people on the dance floor began to exchange partners. Lin Lan was secretly delighted and naturally put her arm around Lin Xuedong's arm to continue dancing.
Having finally escaped her predicament, Liu Sisi excused herself to go to the restroom. Those sky-high heels were truly killing her; her calves were incredibly sore and weak.
When she came in, the restroom was empty. She thought she might as well rest for a while before going out.
Suddenly, she heard whispering female voices outside. She wasn't one to eavesdrop, so since someone had come in, she tidied herself up and went outside.
Chen Meiyuan and Zeng Ziyan were standing outside. Chen Meiyuan paused in her makeup application in front of the mirror. Seeing Liu Sisi slowly approaching in the mirror, she smiled and greeted her, "Oh~, it's you, Sisi."
Liu Sisi gave a curt "Mmm," completely ignoring Zeng Ziyan beside her. She went straight to the sink and turned on the tap to wash her hands.
"Liu Sisi, I didn't realize you had such a big heart. The backyard is practically on fire, and you still have the nerve to parade around in front of everyone!" Zeng Ziyan leaned forward, looking at Liu Sisi with indifferent eyes. Her gaze was full of disdain and arrogance, and her words were laced with veiled sarcasm.
Liu Sisi turned off the tap and took out a tissue to wipe her hands clean. What exactly was Zeng Ziyan trying to do, picking a fight with her time and time again?
She frowned slightly and retorted without hesitation, "Assistant Zeng, your delusions are quite severe. Since you have so much free time, why don't you get this problem treated!"
"You!" Zeng Ziyan glared at her fiercely, her tone turning sharp. "Should I say you're simple-minded? Or just remarkably naive?"
Liu Sisi threw the tissue into the trash can, glanced back, her eyes icy. "What's it to you?"
There was no point in arguing, and Liu Sisi really had no intention of competing with her for attention, so she turned to leave.
"That night in G City..." Zeng Ziyan's soft laughter came from behind, successfully stopping her in her tracks, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Cluck cluck cluck, cluck cluck cluck.
Zeng Ziyan's high heels made a crisp, pleasant sound on the marble floor tiles. But in Liu Sisi's mind, it became a dangerous warning.
She glared at Zeng Ziyan, who had walked up to her, and asked coldly, "What do you want to say?"
"Hmph! I told you long ago, you two aren't a good match. Putting aside the vast difference in your social status and the incompatibility of your families, can you really tolerate men putting on an act in social situations?" Zeng Ziyan scoffed, mocking him.
"That's it?" She thought she was going to say something more, but it was just another of her pretentious antics. Liu Sisi lowered her eyes, utterly disgusted, and retorted sarcastically, "Stop wasting your time. Aren't you sick of your pretentious act all day long?"
"Hehe~." Zeng Ziyan slowly took out her phone and opened a photo in her album. She held it out in front of her, her red lips curving into a smile. "I knew you were so stupid it was refreshingly unconventional, and you found it disgusting? Then you should obediently back out now, lest you end up with a miserable fate where no man loves you and no in-laws care for you."
Liu Sisi stared intently at her phone screen, where the photos were incredibly clear.
The man lay on the bed with his eyes half-closed and his face flushed and intoxicated. Who else could that handsome face be but Lin Xuedong?
His long arm was draped around the waist of the woman sitting on the bed. The collars of their bathrobes were loose, suggesting how intimate and intimate they were at that moment.
What's going on?
"Buzz!" Liu Sisi's mind went blank.
A chill spread from her heart throughout her body, her face gradually turned pale, and her lips trembled uncontrollably.
Her reaction made Zeng Ziyan secretly breathe a sigh of relief; very good.
She put her phone away, her red lips slightly parted, and her voice was slow and sarcastic. "Can't stand it? Disgusted? There are others who are even more ruthless than me. You'll slowly see the true, disgusting faces of some people. This industry is really not suitable for idiots like you to survive."
"Liu Sisi, perhaps you've been bewitched by the sweet advances of these wealthy young men today, completely infatuated and losing yourself. After all, what girl wouldn't be smitten by good looks and wealth? Right?" Zeng Ziyan raised an eyebrow, her eyes cold. Arms crossed, she displayed a disdainful expression in front of Liu Sisi. "But who do you think you are? You need to know your limits. Don't let vanity get the better of you. One day, when Brother Xue Dong's interest in you fades, things will be unpredictable. You'll just be thrown around a check. So, before you get too deeply involved, protect yourself as soon as possible."
Liu Sisi was completely stunned, staring at Zeng Ziyan's opening and closing mouth as she uttered a string of words that Liu Sisi only vaguely understood; she couldn't quite make out what she was saying.
The sound seemed to come from near and far, and she began to feel slightly dizzy. The surrounding air also seemed thin, making it difficult to breathe.
"Shut up!" she hissed, rubbing her forehead.
She found Zeng Ziyan's incessant chatter extremely annoying at that moment.
"Hehe~, look at you, you can't even handle such a little bit of stimulation? I really want to see what you'll do when you find out what he's done behind your back." She laughed wildly, spouting nonsense, her face full of schadenfreude.
"Hahahaha~!" Zeng Ziyan chuckled dryly, glancing at Chen Meihuan. "Liu Sisi, don't blame me for not advising you. What's that saying again?"
Chen Mei crossed her arms and said, as if divinely inspired, "The higher you climb, the faster and more painful the fall."
"That's what they say, but there are always people willing to brave the deep pool, determined to be shattered to pieces! Tsk tsk tsk, pitiful and pathetic." She just wanted to make things difficult for Liu Sisi; she wanted to shatter her dream of marrying into a wealthy family piece by piece.
After the two people left the restroom, Liu Sisi remained standing there, stunned. The frustration that Du Zhentao had finally managed to alleviate had once again gripped her heart.
What exactly happened that night in G City? I heard it with my own ears, and now there are even photos...
A woman's intuition compelled her to re-examine it.
But the more Liu Sisi thought about it, the more her hard-won confidence was shattered and slowly destroyed.
Her beautiful dreams of married life began to crumble, and she started to doubt her own abilities. This led her to almost automatically block out the words and promises Lin Xuedong had made to her.
Even if those rich young men had families, it was commonplace for them to have affairs. What made her so special to Lin Xuedong? And what ability did she have to keep him?
She looked at herself in the mirror, wondering what to do.
She suddenly lost all confidence in herself. What could she rely on? That piece of paper—the marriage certificate?
If he gets tired of it and doesn't want to continue, it's just a matter of signing a document, isn't it?
Haha~, no wonder even his dad scolded him, saying marriage isn't a game. Does that mean he can do whatever he wants as long as we don't get married? And what am I then?
Ugh! So annoying!
Liu Sisi turned on the tap, scooped up water and splashed it lightly on her face, trying to calm herself down with the cool water.
She now felt like she was trapped in a maze, even though Lin Lan had warned her to be careful of Zeng Ziyan, and even though she had decided to trust Lin Xuedong.
But damn it, she was completely captivated by that photo, like an indelible shadow deeply imprinted on her mind.
Zeng Ziyan said there was someone even more disgusting than her, so who could it be?
She can't accept that Lin Xuedong is so affectionate with her while he's being all lovey-dovey with someone else. What should she do?
