How many loves can be relived in the story of a devoted CEO pursuing his wife?
Chapter 96 Something's not right with him
“Sunday…” His deep voice rang out again in the quiet carriage.
Li Songze thought for a moment, intending to ask if she would come, or if there had been any changes. But in the end, he stuck to his word and used a commanding tone. "You must come!"
"Okay, I understand." She replied casually, still seemingly annoyed. However, she wouldn't forget her promise; one thing at a time.
"Should I contact you or Assistant Su then? I'm afraid you'll be very busy."
Before she could finish speaking, Li Songze made the decision for her. "Me."
"Is it convenient?" Liu Sisi always felt a little awkward interacting with him like this. He was indifferent, but also very persistent.
"I always carry my phone with me."
"Oh, okay then. I'll text you later, and you can reply when you have time." Actually, Liu Sisi is quite understanding at heart.
She is gentle, intelligent, kind, and considerate. She never bothers others, which is one of her strengths. Seemingly ordinary, she deeply attracts Li Songze.
Li Songze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time felt a little self-deprecating.
To think that he, a dignified group president, is already forty years old and supposed to be free from confusion, would still go to such lengths and rack his brains to pursue a girl.
She said she liked him to smile more, she said she liked him to talk more. But he currently has no right or status to be gentle with her, so he can only hope to surprise her on the podium.
"Hmm." Li Songze hummed softly, and the car returned to its previous silence...
In the hospital emergency room, the doctor frowned.
She adjusted her glasses and glanced at the man standing next to Lin Lan. Her eyes held a hint of disdain as she spoke to Lin Lan in a cold voice, “Miss Lin, your lower body wound is still recovering and you shouldn't be doing anything too strenuous. This accidental fall has torn the wound, causing slight bleeding. Remember to use your medication when you get home, avoid vigorous exercise, and rest in bed for a few more days.”
Lin Lan lowered her eyes and nodded shyly.
"Alright, go get your medicine." The doctor wrote out a prescription for them.
Lin Xuedong pushed over a wheelchair for Lin Lan to sit in, without uttering a word, his expression somber and grave.
"Brother, I..." Stepping out of the consultation room, Lin Lan grabbed Lin Xuedong's wrist with her other hand. She tilted her head to look at him, hesitant to speak.
He lowered his eyes and gently patted Lin Lan's hand to comfort her. "Lanlan, wait for me here. I'll get the medicine and then take you home."
Lin Lan gazed at him with pleading eyes, not wanting him to leave for even a moment longer. "No, brother. Take me with you, I don't want to be alone."
Lin Xuedong had no choice but to push her to the pharmacy.
Since that incident, he has increasingly noticed changes in Lin Lan's psychology. She has become more clingy than before, and their physical contact has become more frequent. Sometimes, he even has the illusion that they have crossed the line between siblings.
For example, when we were dancing just now, she intentionally or unintentionally moved closer to him, making him very uncomfortable. In order to avoid her, he accidentally tripped and knocked her down.
The mystery surrounding that incident hasn't been solved yet. He'll have to wait until she recovers and her emotions are at ease before he can give her another warning.
Before this, he could only attribute it to Lin Lan's post-traumatic stress disorder. Because she trusted him, she became more dependent on him and closer to him.
After picking up the medicine, Xiao Zhi had already parked his car at the hospital entrance and was waiting for orders.
Lin Xuedong considerately picked up Lin Lan and put her in the car. Xiao Zhi folded up the wheelchair and put it in the trunk. Then he drove them back to Lin Lan's place.
On the way, Lin Xuedong called Xie Xue back and gave her some instructions. He said that Lin Lan had twisted her waist and sprained her ankle, but it wasn't serious and she needed to rest at home for a few days.
"Brother, Sisi, she..." Lin Lan glanced at Lin Xuedong and saw him still holding his phone after hanging up, seemingly lost in thought. She asked.
“Mom said she left with Xiao Du,” he replied casually.
"Oh, ah! Brother, what do you think of Xiao Du?" Lin Lan asked him, her eyes wide, as if she had suddenly remembered something.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'? He's your friend, if you think he's good, that's all that matters." Lin Xuedong frowned slightly; he was thinking about Liu Sisi at the moment and had no interest in anything else.
Lin Lan glanced at him furtively, lowering her voice. "Actually, he's Sisi's friend."
"Hmm?" Although she spoke softly, it didn't escape Lin Xuedong's ears. He turned to face her, his expression serious. "Explain yourself clearly."
“Brother, don’t you remember? I sent you a message last time.” Lin Lan blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes and continued, “He’s Sisi’s blind date.”
Xiao Du? My blind date? Now I remember.
"Oh? So how did you two meet?" Upon hearing this, Lin Xuedong felt a sense of rejection towards Du Zhentao.
"That day, ......" Lin Lan followed his lead and recounted the story of their chance encounter at the mall that day, the three of them having dinner together, Du Zhentao's excessive flattery, and his shameless insistence on taking Liu Sisi home, adding a touch of spice and sarcasm to the narrative.
"That's how it was. I already offered to help you check her out and take her home. But Sisi insisted it wasn't on my way and asked Xiao Du to take her instead. I was puzzled at the time, but I didn't know what to do, so I secretly took a few photos and sent them to your phone so you could keep an eye out." Lin Lan glanced at him, a little confused. "What, don't you remember?"
"I was drunk that night, and I gave my phone to..." Lin Xuedong rubbed his forehead. Lately, it seemed like his life had been completely messed up by these three women. Ugh... what a headache.
"It must be Zeng Ziyan playing tricks again. I knew she had no good intentions!" Mentioning Zeng Ziyan made her angry, and she tightened her grip on her handbag slightly.
"Shh~." Lin Xuedong gestured for Hao to be quiet; he wanted some peace and quiet.
The only thing that could give him a moment of peace was Liu Sisi; he missed her. He wanted to hear her voice, to know where she was, and what she was doing.
So, the next second, he dialed her number.
"Hello?" The phone rang twice before being answered.
Liu Sisi's soft, sweet voice came through the microphone, causing the man holding the phone to unconsciously smile. "Sisi, are you home yet?"
"We're still on our way back to Meilin Garden," Liu Sisi told him cryptically.
Meilin Garden? Lin Xuedong's heart skipped a beat.
He vaguely sensed that she was implying something, suggesting that it wasn't convenient to talk on the phone right now.
"Okay, I understand. We just left the hospital. We'll call you back after we take Lanlan home." He felt a little uneasy, but he didn't make things difficult for Liu Sisi. He figured they could talk about it when they met.
However, after hanging up, Liu Sisi stared blankly at her phone for a while. She remembered his affair with Zeng Ziyan and completely forgot that she was with Li Songze.
A cool, clear voice interrupted Liu Sisi's thoughts. "What's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing," she replied softly, maintaining the same tone she used when speaking to Lin Xuedong. She had almost forgotten that she was still angry with him.
Ever since she bumped into the woman in the restroom, she's seemed distracted, probably because of Lin Xuedong. "Are you really alright?"
Liu Sisi frowned and turned her face away to look at him.
In the dimly lit carriage, he was still dressed in a formal suit, exuding an air of aloofness and coldness. He always gave off a feeling of being superior and unapproachable.
Although he possesses a handsome face and the looks to make girls swoon, his aloof personality and deep, enigmatic nature make him unfathomable and unapproachable.
But now, she felt like something was off about him. But what was it?
"Really, it's nothing." Liu Sisi answered crisply.
Because she didn't want to have too much contact with him; being around him was a very stressful thing.
"That's good." Li Songze didn't look at her, his eyes fixed on the road ahead as he focused intently on driving. It was as if he had just asked casually and didn't care about her answer.
"Ha!" Liu Sisi sneered inwardly, feeling utterly bewildered.
She pursed her lips, then turned her head back to look out the window, remaining silent.
