How many loves can be relived in the story of a devoted CEO pursuing his wife?
Chapter 97 Entering the Inner Chambers Again
After a while, the car stopped outside the gate of Meilin Garden residential area.
Liu Sisi breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she unbuckled her seatbelt to say goodbye, Li Songze's calm voice came over. "I'll take you up."
She suddenly looked up and met his unfathomable, deep eyes. "No, no, no! Mr. Li, there's really no need to trouble you. I can go back by myself."
In a panic, she blurted out "No!" three times to him. This was very important!
"It's nothing," Li Songze replied casually, ignoring her and unbuckling his seatbelt. He opened the car door, took off his coat and threw it inside, then went around to open the car door for Liu Sisi.
What kind of ridiculous and impractical move is this?! Liu Sisi looked utterly bewildered.
She rolled her eyes at the night sky, then exhaled a breath of stale air.
In a final, desperate struggle, she bit her lip and insisted, "Mr. Li, I can manage on my own!"
"We'll talk about it later." Li Songze felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure watching her throw a little tantrum at him. He reached out his hand to her, his face remaining calm and composed.
Liu Sisi stubbornly refused his help and instead carefully got out of the car, holding onto the door handle.
"See, I can manage on my own. You shouldn't see me off anymore, you should go home first." She really didn't want to get entangled with him any longer. "Thank you for today."
After a hurried goodbye, she quickly walked past Li Songze as if fleeing, heading towards the entrance of the residential area.
"ah---!"
Before they had taken two steps, an unexpected incident occurred.
What's going on?!
I almost twisted my ankle!
Just as she screamed, before she fell, she was caught firmly by a pair of strong, long arms.
Li Songze helped her straighten up, then squatted down and reached out to check her ankle. Liu Sisi instinctively pulled her foot back, still shaken for a while.
"Stand still, don't move!" Li Songze raised his head, stared at her with sharp eyes, and hissed.
Startled by his stern, low shout, Liu Sisi felt a tightness in her chest. Instinctively, she held her breath and dared not make a move.
Seeing that she had finally calmed down, Li Songze lowered his head again and reached out his warm hand to check her ankle.
When his slender fingers touched her skin, Liu Sisi shuddered. She quickly closed her eyes, her delicate features slowly converging, and she didn't dare to breathe.
The man shamelessly pinched, pressed, and touched her ankles and calves.
The feeling... was like a swarm of ants crawling all over you. You wanted to shake them off but couldn't; you just felt your scalp tingling and your whole body felt incredibly uncomfortable.
Who just said that men and women shouldn't touch each other?
Unexpectedly, the more anxious I became, the more trouble I encountered. This time, I've truly lost face completely.
She didn't know when Li Songze stood up, but he chuckled as he looked at her squinting.
She's so cute. "Are you feeling unwell?"
He stood in front of Liu Sisi, only half a body length away. His unique, refreshing scent wafted into Liu Sisi's nostrils on the night breeze.
Slowly opening her eyes, with an expression that suggested she didn't want to face her embarrassing situation, Liu Sisi said listlessly, "No."
"Hmm, you're not hurt." He glanced at her with a playful look.
Liu Sisi suddenly felt hot all over, and her porcelain-white face turned bright red. The feeling of being seen through was absolutely terrible.
Unable to think of a response, she could only look down at his annoying high heels. Damn it! She really wanted to kick them off and just walk back barefoot.
"Let's go." Li Songze was secretly much smug than Liu Sisi.
That was something he had expected. Now, by giving her a little push, she would obediently follow him.
Just before Liu Sisi looked up, Li Songze suppressed his smile, propped himself up on his arm, and said in a gentlemanly manner, "I'll take you."
"Thank you." Liu Sisi had no choice but to obediently take his arm and walk slowly.
What should have been a 5-minute walk took them three times as long.
The shadows on the path stretched long, and the two were in perfect sync, their steps unhurried and relaxed.
Li Songze can now finally understand the meaning behind Lin Xuedong's words, "With you by my side, this life is enough."
What a pity! He could only humbly and secretly feel her warmth in these unintentional moments.
This journey was anything but easy for Liu Sisi. Her gaze was blank as she stared ahead, her mind a complete void.
She was completely confused. She had clearly gotten rid of Du Zhentao, so how did she end up in Li Songze's car again?
He could have easily gone back to Azure Sky Peak by himself, but Li Songze interfered again, and he ended up back in his little apartment.
Is tonight my only chance to calm down and stop thinking about Lin Xuedong? Ugh, this is so annoying!
Before she knew it, they had arrived at the apartment building. Liu Sisi, unaware that he intended to leave, raised an eyebrow and asked, "Mr. Li, you're not planning to use the restroom again, are you?"
"Hmm, is it convenient?" Li Songze asked casually, but he didn't stop walking and even reached out to press the elevator switch.
Oh my God!
Liu Sisi felt helpless as she faced this powerful figure who was easy to invite but difficult to send away.
Once inside, she immediately kicked off her sky-high heels. Slipping on her thick Stitch slippers, she let out a long sigh, feeling much better.
"Li..." She was about to say something to Li Songze, but the man walked into the bathroom by himself as if he knew the way inside.
Liu Sisi cursed under her breath in frustration, then turned on the air conditioner and went to the refrigerator in the kitchen to take out a bottle of mineral water.
It was hot, and she was feeling particularly irritable. She unscrewed the bottle cap, walked out of the kitchen, plopped down in a dining chair, and gulped down the mineral water.
After a while, Li Songze leisurely emerged from the restroom. He saw the woman sitting lazily in the dining room, with two bottles of mineral water on the table.
One bottle was half-empty in front of her, while the other was placed opposite her, seemingly prepared for him.
A slight smile played on his thin lips as he walked over and sat down opposite her, deliberately asking, "Do you have coffee?"
Liu Sisi's eyes widened. She, who had been resting her chin on her hand, instinctively sat up straight. Coffee?! This man is really something else.
She gave a forced smile, sounding annoyed. "Mr. Li, drinking coffee at night will keep you awake. It's hot, so why don't you have some mineral water instead?"
Li Songze pursed his lips, took the mineral water, unscrewed it, tilted his head back, and drank it down in one gulp—his movements were simple and efficient.
"Are you hungry?" He asked abruptly, after drinking half of his drink, just like hers, and put down the bottle.
Liu Sisi was stunned, her eyes wide. What the hell? What does he want now? "I don't..." Hungry.
"Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry." He actually dared to say that!
Liu Sisi choked with anger, frowned, and glanced at the wall clock. It was almost 11 o'clock; she needed to get rid of him as soon as possible.
"I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of eating late-night snacks. I only have instant noodles at home, Mr. Li, what do you think...?"
"This is it." He crossed his arms and leaned back in his dining chair like she did, acting like a boss who wanted to serve him.
Liu Sisi sighed weakly, but didn't linger. Resigned, she got up and, slipping on her Stitch slippers, reluctantly walked into the kitchen.
The man sitting in the restaurant looked at her outfit—an evening gown paired with cartoon slippers—as she prepared food for him, and he couldn't be happier. A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips, a tenderness he himself didn't even realize he was displaying.
After a while, Liu Sisi came out carrying a tray with two bowls of noodles.
"Bang." He placed one of the bowls in front of Li Songze, and the other in front of his own seat. He then put down the tray and sat down.
She handed him chopsticks and gave him a perfunctory smile. "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, please make do with this."
"Thank you." Li Songze didn't stand on ceremony; he suppressed his emotions so she wouldn't notice anything amiss. He took the chopsticks, picked up a noodle, blew on it, and began to eat, as if he were genuinely hungry.
He ate with a calm and elegant demeanor, making little noise even while eating his soup noodles. This surprised Liu Sisi, who found herself watching him intently.
It's unbelievable! The CEO of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate is living in his cramped apartment, eating instant noodles that cost less than 5 yuan a month.
She blinked her watery eyes, her dark pupils looking left and right. But no matter how she looked, all she could see was Li Songze eating noodles with his head down in front of her.
"You... it seems Mr. Li, you're really hungry."
Li Songze looked up in response, meeting her bright, clear eyes, which held a hint of surprise and confusion. "Aren't you going to eat?"
"Eat, I'll eat now." Liu Sisi felt a little embarrassed by his question, so she quickly tidied her messy hair and lowered her head to eat her noodles.
She was unaware that the man opposite her had not looked away; his gaze was fixed on her every gesture, every smile.
The instant noodles didn't taste very good, but she had made them for herself. Li Songze silently memorized the taste and naturally finished them all.
Li Songze dawdled for half an hour during their "late-night snack." After Liu Sisi finished cleaning up the kitchen, she thought it was time to see him off, otherwise it wouldn't be convenient for the two of them to be alone together.
"Mr. Li, it's getting late, you should go back and rest." She smiled sweetly.
"Hmm." He glanced at the time on his watch and gave a soft reply.
As his long, slender legs reached the gate, Li Songze suddenly stopped. Liu Sisi, who was following behind to see him off, was caught off guard and bumped into him. She had been happy to see this important figure off.
Liu Sisi felt a sharp pain in her nose from the impact, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Hiss~".
"I'm sorry." She was blind, so she rubbed her nose and apologized first.
Li Songze turned around, lowered his head, and stared at her. Without her sky-high heels, the woman looked considerably shorter, barely reaching his shoulder.
"Are you alright?" He glanced at her, asking casually.
Despite the pain, Liu Sisi raised her head. She was almost the same height as Lin Xuedong. At 163cm vs. 185cm, it was quite difficult to raise her head, but she still managed a graceful smile at him. "It's alright, take care."
"Yeah, you owe me a coffee." Li Songze nodded, seemingly casually, but his tone was firm.
Liu Sisi was taken aback. Was he still holding a grudge against her?
But wanting to get rid of him as soon as possible, she nodded. "Okay, I'll treat Mr. Li to a coffee sometime."
Having gotten the answer he wanted, Li Songze turned and turned the doorknob. After pushing the door open, he stopped again.
Liu Sisi's heart skipped a beat. What did he want now? Was this ever going to end?
“Sunday…” He didn’t turn around, his voice remaining cold and detached.
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, I'll send you a message when I arrive. See you on Sunday." Liu Sisi just wanted him to leave, so she coaxed him half-heartedly.
"Okay, goodbye." This time, he really stepped out of the apartment building.
"Goodbye, Mr. Li." After seeing Li Songze off and closing the door, Liu Sisi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
