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

"Sneeze~." In the darkness, the man held his phone, about to dial that familiar number.

He had just left Lin Lan's house when he suddenly sneezed. While waiting for the elevator, Lin Xuedong frowned and dialed a number, his heart inexplicably tense.

Liu Sisi's phone rang twice before she answered. Her voice was a little hoarse. "Hello? I'm asleep."

"..." She's asleep? What about him?

"Sisi, I'm coming now, wait for me," Lin Xuedong said softly.

"Lin Xuedong, I said I'm asleep, don't you understand?" Liu Sisi couldn't help but yell at the man on the phone.

Lin Xuedong was completely bewildered by her sudden outburst of temper. "What's wrong?"

"Go back, you don't need to come over. That's all!" The phone rang, and Liu Sisi hung up without hesitation.

Lin Xuedong stared in disbelief at the darkened screen of his phone. Wasn't she perfectly fine at the banquet? Her sudden outburst of anger made his heart skip a beat.

What's going on?

Filled with questions, I took the elevator downstairs, where Xiao Zhi was already waiting. He got into the car and ordered in a cold, deep voice, "To Meilin Garden. Quickly!"

"Okay, Mr. Lin." Xiao Zhi replied and immediately started the car.

Liu Sisi put down her phone; she was so excited she was trembling all over, and she was still shaking.

Sitting alone on the bed, I couldn't help but think of Lin Xuedong again. He said he would wait for him, but would he come?

It wasn't that I couldn't hear the worry in his tone; that enchanting voice kept lingering in my mind, impossible to shake off.

Her nose stung, a feeling she couldn't quite describe. A sense of powerlessness washed over her, gradually eroding the resolve she should have held in her heart.

Less than half an hour later, the doorbell rang. "Ding-dong, ding-dong~".

The ringing of the bell shattered the quiet space, startling Liu Sisi.

He still came. The normal drive from Lin Lan's house to here takes over an hour. How hard did he have to work to get here in half an hour?

She didn't doubt the man's sincerity; she believed in the deep affection he had accumulated over the past eight years. But the gap between reality and expectations was truly exhausting.

When she is completely focused on him, his world can't possibly revolve around her alone...

"Ding-dong, ding-dong~".

"Bang, bang~".

"Sisi, it's me, open the door~".

Lin Xuedong anxiously knocked on the door; he was worried about her, he missed her.

He didn't know why she suddenly got so angry, and he certainly couldn't abandon her.

"Sisi, open the door quickly, it's hot outside!" Lin Xuedong knew she wasn't asleep; the light in her room was still on. She couldn't possibly be sleeping while she was angrily knocking on the door.

"Honey, let me in first, then we can talk things out. Okay?" But after knocking on the door for a while without her opening it, he started playing the victim. "Honey, I've been running around all night, and I haven't even had a chance to use the bathroom. I can't hold it in any longer, please open the door!"

"???"

Why do they always use the excuse of needing to use the restroom to get inside?!

Liu Sisi, who was just a door away, sighed deeply and reached out to turn the doorknob...

Hearing the door open, Lin Xuedong was overjoyed.

He pushed open the door, and what he saw was Liu Sisi's back as she walked into the room.

Ha, does she really intend to ignore me?

"Sisi~." He closed the door, took two quick steps and grabbed her arm, wanting to hug her, but Liu Sisi quickly dodged away.

She snapped, turning her face away without looking back at him. "Filthy!"

Lin Xuedong paused for a moment, then glanced at his suit and tuxedo, immediately putting on a grinning face. "Sorry, I'll take care of it right away, wait for me~".

After saying that, he laughed and dashed into the bathroom, where he began to take off his clothes.

"Hey, there aren't any clean clothes for you here. You'd better go back." Liu Sisi frowned when she saw his actions. She quickly stepped forward to stop him; she didn't want to keep him here.

"It's alright, honey, I'll have Ah Xiao bring the clothes over." Lin Xuedong raised an eyebrow.

"No! My bed is too small." Liu Sisi looked up at him, her eyes red and swollen from crying.

Looking at her haggard face, Lin Xuedong felt a sharp pang in his heart. The piercing pain forced him to suppress his smile, realizing that something must have hurt her.

He leaned closer and gently bent down, placing his hands on her shoulders. Trying to meet her gaze, he softened his voice and asked, "Sisi, what happened? Why are you crying?"

"You should go back now. I'm not in the mood." Liu Sisi sniffed as she looked at the handsome face looming in front of her and said coldly.

“No, either we go back together, or we stay together.” Lin Xuedong’s lips trembled slightly, and he began to panic. He couldn’t stand her coldness.

Liu Sisi remained silent. She knew he wouldn't leave, but she didn't want to face him. Seeing the tension and worry on his face, tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.

A pang of sadness welled up inside her. She couldn't bear to let go of his tenderness, nor could she bear to treat him coldly. She was unwilling to let this relationship end without a trace, yet she didn't want to force a man who wasn't meant for her.

"Sisi~." Lin Xuedong gently pressed her soft body closer to his arms and then hugged her tightly.

He tilted his head, rubbing his cheek against her hair. The scent of her shampoo was pleasant, lingering in his nostrils. "Tell me, what happened? We'll face it together, we'll solve it together. Okay?"

His voice was low and gentle, almost coaxing. His large hand lingered on her back, a comfort Liu Sisi couldn't resist. She knew she would succumb to her weakness again.

But how could she tell him right now?

Her mind was a bit of a mess, and she was so conflicted that she couldn't find the right words.

So she gritted her teeth and pushed him away forcefully. "Let go, you're dirty!"

Lin Xuedong wasn't angry. He let go of her hand and, while unbuttoning his shirt, said jokingly, "Okay, I'll wash up first, and we'll talk again later."

He ripped open his shirt in front of me, revealing his muscular upper body. Then, with a casual flourish, he unbuckled his belt, making a crisp "snap" sound.

This immediately brought Liu Sisi to her senses, and she glared at him angrily. "You!"

"Wife, want to come along?" Lin Xuedong grinned mischievously. The atmosphere had been too heavy. He wanted her to get out of her gloom as soon as possible, so he teased her in a rather unserious way.

Liu Sisi angrily blurted out, "Go to hell!"

Then, he quickly turned around and ran out of the bathroom. His shameless behavior was infuriating.

"Hehe~." Seeing the little woman's sulky and coquettish appearance, his heart almost melted.

Shaking his head lightly, Lin Xuedong didn't care about anything else anymore and happily went to take a shower. He washed away the smell of alcohol and cooled down his body.

After showering, he glanced around the bathroom with his handsome eyes. Unlike the well-equipped Azure Sky Peak, where every bathroom was provided with clean clothes, bathrobes, and towels.

"Here..." He chuckled softly and called out towards the bathroom entrance, "No towels!"

Liu Sisi rolled her eyes in the bedroom, dejectedly took a large bath towel from the closet, and walked to the bathroom door in a huff, saying irritably, "Open the door a little."

"Bang---." The bathroom door suddenly opened wide.

Lin Xuedong stood at the bathroom door, completely naked and nonchalant. Crystal-clear water droplets still clung to his body, making him look so alluring that it made one's mouth water.

"Hey! You!" Liu Sisi was startled. She threw the bath towel at him and then quickly slipped back to the bedroom.

Seeing the little woman's flushed cheeks and her fleeing like a rabbit, he felt a surge of joy.

As he dried the water off his body and hair, Lin Xuedong looked at Liu Sisi's petite figure, feeling an indescribable sense of lightness in his heart.

It's really good to have her here.
