How many loves can be relived in the story of a devoted CEO pursuing his wife?
Chapter 95 Send her home
Behind them, a pair of dark eyes, burning with jealousy, stared intently, as if trying to bore a hole through that slender figure...
"Brother Cheng, you said A-Dong is going to marry that woman? What about our Ziyan?" Zeng Fan held a tall glass of wine, the red wine in it swirling in his hand.
"I will not agree to this so far. Xue'er and I both prefer Ziyan to be our Lin family's daughter-in-law." Lin Zhicheng narrowed his eyes, his gaze very firm.
Xie Xue pulled Zeng Ziyan's hand, making her withdraw her resentful gaze, and gently comforted her. "Yes, Ziyan, your Uncle Lin and I are on your side."
"Thank you, Auntie." Zeng Ziyan looked at Xie Xue, her eyes full of grievance. "Now that Liu Sisi is at the company, she sees Xue Dong Ge every day. Their feelings for each other are growing stronger day by day. If we don't do something, she might beat us to it."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhicheng and Xie Xue both frowned. They were both utterly perplexed!
No one could have predicted that Lin Xuedong would publicly reveal Liu Sisi's identity as his girlfriend today, making it a bit tricky to deal with her.
"Ziyan, we'd like to hear your opinion. What do you think would be the best course of action? We'll cooperate fully, okay?" Xie Xue first needed to appease Zeng Ziyan.
“We need to win her heart first.” Zeng Ziyan bit her lip, stating seemingly helplessly. “She’s a woman from a humble background, psychologically insecure and fragile. Even if she loves someone deeply, she can’t withstand the pressure of public opinion and the defamation of her character. She doesn’t belong in our circle. If we force her to squeeze in, the pain and pressure she will face will slowly destroy her.”
“Brother Cheng, Sister-in-law,” Zeng Fan said, pursing his lips and speaking in a serious tone, “I might as well be frank with you. We are going to have a marriage alliance, and our two families' business empires will merge. I only have one daughter, Ziyan, and I don’t want her to suffer any injustice unless absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, the current situation doesn’t allow me to think too much about it. Let Ziyan marry Xuedong, as long as they have a child to inherit the Zeng family business. As for Xuedong taking that other woman outside, I’ll just turn a blind eye.”
Lin Zhicheng pondered for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Xie Xue. He narrowed his eyes, a sharp, cold glint flashing in them, and said in a deep voice, "Since everyone is sincerely trying to bring this together, we'll talk to that woman and put pressure on her. We might try to persuade her to back out, or we might try to bribe her, or... something else."
"Good, good, with Brother Cheng and Sister-in-law Cheng's help, I'm relieved about Ziyan and Adong's situation." Zeng Fan smiled and raised his glass in a toast. "Come on, Brother Cheng, Sister-in-law Cheng, let's drink to success!"
"Cheers!" The four of them clinked glasses together, all wearing meaningful smiles.
On the other side, Liu Sisi, wearing those annoying sky-high heels, slowly walked out of the banquet hall.
Clutching her handbag, she suddenly felt a strange unease. It seemed as if some conspiracy was approaching her, and she was completely unaware of it.
"Sisi, let me take you home." Du Zhentao said as he approached her to help her once they were away from the crowd.
Liu Sisi warily dodged away, then glanced at Du Zhentao approaching and politely declined. "Tao, thank you, but I'll go home by myself tonight. Now that my identity is public, and you're Lanlan's date, it's better if we keep our distance."
"But can you do it?" Du Zhentao understood. He couldn't have missed the warning in Xie Xue's eyes just now, so he also tactfully withdrew his hand.
Liu Sisi smiled wryly. "It's okay, don't worry, I'm just worn out by these shoes."
"Then I'll take you to catch a taxi, okay?" He was worried about her and didn't want to abandon her.
"Oh no, this is Junlan Hotel, the service and security are excellent. I'm walking very carefully, it'll be fine." She wanted to return to Azure Sky Peak, but she couldn't let Du Zhentao know.
Seeing her insistence, Du Zhentao didn't want to force her. He shook his head, at a loss for what to do, and said, "Okay, but send me a message when you get home, is that alright?"
"Okay, I understand, don't worry." Liu Sisi smiled gently.
"Well then, goodbye?" Du Zhentao still couldn't let go of his worries.
"Hey, stop being so wishy-washy. I'm not a child anymore. Go back and rest. Thank you for tonight. If we have the chance, let's get together with Lanlan again!" Liu Sisi waved her hand at him. She thought Du Zhentao was very kind and warm-hearted. If she could bring him and Lin Lan together, it would surely be a wonderful thing.
"Okay, then it's settled, bye-bye~."
"Bye-bye!" The two said goodbye in the hotel lobby. Liu Sisi watched him leave towards the parking lot before turning around and walking towards the hotel entrance.
The night was slightly cool. She stood on the steps waiting for a taxi, occasionally glancing down at her phone.
"Sizzle---".
Suddenly, the sound of brakes rang out, and a gleaming Maybach came to a stop right in front of her.
The moment the car window rolled down, she saw Li Songze's sharply defined profile. The man wore a black, handmade suit, exuding an air of nobility and arrogance, with a cold and aloof demeanor.
Liu Sisi was filled with doubt. Wasn't he still in the meeting room? "President Li?"
"Get in the car, I'll give you a ride." Li Songze turned his head, his deep eyes calm as the sea, capable of drawing a person in with just one glance.
"Really, no need." Liu Sisi rolled her eyes inwardly, feeling utterly speechless. Had this guy taken the wrong medicine tonight? Why did he insist on taking her home?
"Get in the car." He spoke, his voice indifferent yet intimidating.
"..." Liu Sisi paused for a moment, her eyes fixed on the man with both hands gripping the steering wheel.
He exuded an aura of solitude and coldness, radiating an aura that kept strangers at bay, and even looked down upon himself with the disdain of an emperor.
Seriously, who would want to stick their finger on that?
She gritted her teeth and gripped her phone tightly. "I'd better not use it; it's not very convenient."
"Get in the car, I'll give you a ride." Those were the words again, his voice cool and calm, devoid of any emotion. His gaze was fixed on her like a nail, his eyes filled with an unyielding intensity.
Liu Sisi stood there, caught in a dilemma, because it seemed he wouldn't leave until he saw her get into the car. After a brief standoff, the banquet began to end, and guests started to leave, some of whom would wait for their cars.
To avoid controversy, Liu Sisi gritted her teeth, quickly opened the car door, and climbed into the passenger seat.
"fasten your seatbelt."
"..." Liu Sisi glared at him and let out a long sigh.
I was really indignant, but I still obediently fastened my seatbelt.
She had just fastened her seatbelt with a "click" when Li Songze slammed on the gas. The towering Maybach, like a cheetah in the night, vanished instantly into the darkness.
Liu Sisi was startled by his reckless driving skills. Not to be outdone, she thought, "This man has been acting crazy all night; I really don't know what he's up to." "Mr. Li, I'm not in a hurry."
"Aren't you afraid of being seen?"
Fine! He says white is white, black is black, he's the one who calls the shots! And who's blocking her way? Liu Sisi simply fell silent.
The car's speed gradually decreased as it merged with the traffic. The car was silent except for the irregular breathing of the two people inside; the man was calm and composed, while the woman was frivolous and restless.
The two men had contrasting expressions; the man wore a sly smile. Yes, he smiled, but the smile was concealed by the darkness inside the car.
The woman's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and her red lips were tightly pursed, as if she was about to burst into anger.
"Are you going home?"
"Go back to the company!" Liu Sisi really wanted to just retort like that and shut him down.
But she had the desire but not the courage, and couldn't tell him she was going back to Azure Sky Peak. So, in the end, she weakly hummed in agreement and turned her head to look at the night view outside the car window.
Even in the dim light inside the car, Li Songze's sharp eyes remained unblinded. Sometimes he would glance at her directly, and other times he would steal a look at her through the rearview mirror.
In short, with her by his side, even if she was in a bad mood and ignored him, just being able to see her, smell her scent, and hear her voice filled him with a strange sense of peace and unparalleled satisfaction. He couldn't explain why he was so devoted to her alone.
