After the divorce, the CEO knelt down every night begging for remarriage.

"That's right, you're right. Bao'er's grandfather died away from home more than ten years ago."

After Song Ya finished speaking, she gave a cold laugh and didn't give Li Hongyu a friendly look.

Li Hongyu was filled with rage by the back-and-forth between Lin Zhi and Song Ya.

He was raising his hand, intending to slap Lin Zhi across the face.

Song Ya rushed forward, patted her cheeks, and said fearlessly, "If you really dare to hit it, then hurry up and hit it, otherwise I'll look down on you for being such a coward!"

"You really don't know what's good for you!"

Li Hongyu was furious and was about to slap Song Ya across the face, but he was stopped by Li Tingze who appeared just in time.

Li Tingze shoved Li Hongyu hard and warned him in a cold tone, "Today is Bao'er's full moon celebration. If you're determined to cause trouble, I don't mind if Grandpa is missing when we take the family photo later. Anyway, whether Grandpa is there or not, our Bao'er is still loved and cherished by her great-grandfather."

Li Hongyu staggered a few steps, looked at the three people standing in a row, and immediately clenched his fists.

He glared fiercely at Li Tingze, and was about to curse Li Tingze for being an unfilial son when Grandpa Li struck him hard with his cane.

Grandpa Li glared at him angrily: "While I was away, you secretly bullied my precious granddaughter-in-law. I think you've been living with those disreputable and lowly women for too long, and you've even forgotten the most basic family manners."

Li Hongyu wanted to say something more.

Grandpa Li turned away and ignored him, instead putting on a kind smile for the baby in the stroller.

Lin Zhi and the others also focused their attention on Bao'er, completely isolating Li Hongyu from the outside.

Looking at the family getting along so well, Li Hongyu knew they would no longer consider him family. Not wanting to make a fool of himself, he tossed his bag aside and walked unhappily toward the exit.

He had just arrived at the intersection when Jiang Anran, who was waiting on the side, blocked his way.

Jiang Anran gripped his arm tightly and pleaded, "Hongyu, we've been husband and wife, please don't abandon me, okay? Without you, I can't sleep at night, and I think about you every day. I really know I was wrong, please forgive me just this once."

Li Hongyu forcefully shook off Jiang Anran's arm.

He angrily pointed his finger at Jiang Anran's nose, venting all the frustration he had just endured inside on Jiang Anran.

"You shameless slut! Since you've already betrayed and schemed against me by conspiring with another man, don't even think about getting my forgiveness. I hate promiscuous women the most. You know you've been married to me for so many years, yet you've done such dirty things behind my back. Song Ya, on the other hand, has been divorced from me for so many years and has always been single, never having any affairs. A slut is a slut, her nature is slut!"

"Get out of here! Get as far away as you can! If I ever see you again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

This wasn't the first time Jiang Anran had heard such harsh words.

Ever since she rekindled her relationship with her divorced first love, and Li Hongyu found out, he has said all sorts of hurtful things to her.

Without Li Hongyu's financial support, she wouldn't be able to continue living the life of a wealthy wife.

First love may be wonderful, but it can only make up for past regrets.

In terms of family background and wealth, only Li Hongyu can give her the luxurious life she desires.

She cried with tears streaming down her face, "Hongyu, I really know I was wrong. Even if you don't consider that we were husband and wife, you should at least forgive me for Anan's sake."

The thought of Jiang Nan, who was far away in Singapore, made Li Hongyu even angrier.

He sternly rebuked, "Don't mention that unfilial son to me. He knew perfectly well that Lin Zhi was the wife the old man had chosen for Tingze. There are so many noble ladies in Beijing, yet he insisted on choosing a discarded woman that Tingze had abandoned. This displeased the old man, and he was exiled to Singapore."

Jiang Anran looked shocked and asked incredulously, "You mean, Anan was sent away by the old man to work in Singapore because he liked Lin Zhi?"

Li Hongyu rolled his eyes and said coldly, "Otherwise, what do you think is the reason?"

Jiang Anran's mind went blank.

She thought for a while before saying excitedly, "I thought the old man was afraid that Anan was too outstanding and would steal Li Tingze's limelight, so he transferred him away. I never expected it was because of that vixen Lin Zhi. It must be that vixen Lin Zhi who seduced Anan. Otherwise, how could she, with her used and defiled body, catch Anan's eye?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately looked towards the main hall: "No, I have to go in and settle accounts with Lin Zhi, and give our Anan justice!"

Li Hongyu rolled his eyes at Jiang Anran as if she were an idiot.

As she was about to go in, he warned her, "Going in now will only bring you humiliation, and you might even lose Anan's position as the person in charge in Singapore. Spend less time buying designer bags and clothes, and more time reading books and using your brain."

Li Hongyu said all he had to say.

He left after saying that.

Jiang Anran watched his departing figure before realizing the meaning behind his words.

It seems she needs to come up with a new plan.

We must never allow Lin Zhi to return to the Li family and become the mistress of the Li family, nor can we allow the daughter born to Lin Zhi to become the biggest beneficiary of the Li family.

Only her son, born to Jiang Anran, deserves all of this!

The atmosphere in the banquet hall was the complete opposite of the tense standoff that had just occurred.

Although Bao'er's grandfather wasn't in the family photo, everyone was smiling happily, and even Bao'er gave the camera a bright smile, which made the guests watching laugh out loud.

After taking the family photo, it was Lin Zhi and Li Tingze's turn to toast the distinguished guests attending the banquet.

The original plan was for Lin Zhi to drink grape juice and Li Tingze to drink pure red wine.

Whether it was a mistake by the staff on site or some other reason, Lin Zhi ended up with a bottle of pure red wine.

She wasn't a big drinker, and after a few drinks, her cheeks flushed and she was slightly tipsy.

When Li Tingze realized something was wrong, he immediately took the wine glass from her hand, took a sip, and upon discovering the taste of alcohol, he immediately wanted to get angry and find the staff who had arranged the scene.

Lin Zhi took his hand and whispered, "It's okay, I didn't drink much. Anyway, I'm not breastfeeding, and the red wine isn't very strong, so it won't have much of an impact."

Li Tingze held her arm and asked with concern, "If you feel unwell, I'll take you back to your room to rest."

Lin Zhi was in a good mood today. Seeing that Bao'er was loved by so many people made her happy.

So he shook his head: "I'll stay until the banquet is over."

Li Tingze respected Lin Zhi's choice and didn't say much, but he stayed by her side the whole time, afraid that she would get drunk if she was happy.

In his memory, Lin Zhi had never been drunk in front of him.

After several rounds of drinks, Lin Zhi was truly drunk.

She held Li Tingze's hand tightly, talking about how he misunderstood her back then, and kept repeating, "If it weren't for Grandpa, I would never have married you under those circumstances."

Li Tingze hugged her waist and whispered in her ear, "I know now. I will never misunderstand you again." He deeply apologized for misunderstanding her in the past.

When Lin Zhi saw him bowing and apologizing to her, she insisted that he should kneel down to apologize.

Li Tingze knew she was drunk when she said those things.

But he also always wanted to find an opportunity to make up for the mistakes he had made.

He complied with her request and knelt down to apologize to her.

Lin Zhi knelt down opposite him again, cupped his cheeks, and shook her head in disbelief: "This is too strange. You must not be Li Tingze. He is a high and mighty emperor. How could he possibly lower himself to kneel down and apologize to me? I must be seeing things and have mistaken you for someone else."

Li Tingze raised his hand and placed his palm on the back of Lin Zhi's hand.

Looking deeply into Lin Zhi's eyes, filled with guilt and love, he said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong before, but I swear, from now on I will love you well. I will love our Bao'er well. If I break my promise, may I be struck by lightning."

Listening to sweet love words.

Lin Zhi's eyes were slightly red. She felt a little tired and was about to get up when Li Tingze leaned closer to her and kissed her lips before she could react.

She blinked, making sure she had been forcibly kissed, and tried to open her eyes.

Unfortunately, he wasn't as strong as Li Tingze.

Perhaps because she had originally planned to give Bao'er a complete and happy family, her body instinctively began to yield when Li Tingze kissed her deeply.

So much so that the kiss became increasingly uncontrollable.

As they kissed, the kisses moved from their lips to their cheeks and collarbones, and then to the more intimate areas below their collarbones.

Lin Zhi felt dazed and confused, as if she had been thrown onto the bed.

She couldn't remember what happened after that.

However, Li Tingze treated her very gently, which made her feel happy.

One night, he finally tasted the familiar sweetness of happiness.

……

The next day.

Li Tingze opened his eyes with satisfaction.

He reached out to pull Lin Zhi into his arms, but found he had only grasped air.

He immediately opened his eyes and felt an indescribable sense of loss when he saw that there was no one beside him.

Li Tingze was hoping that Lin Zhi might be cooking his favorite breakfast downstairs. He quickly put on his clothes and ran downstairs, but there were only servants busy in the kitchen, and Lin Zhi was nowhere to be seen.

When the maid saw that he had woken up, she hurriedly said, "Mr. Li, you're finally awake. Madam got up and left very early this morning. She asked me to give you breakfast. Would you like to eat now, or wait until lunchtime?"

Li Tingze had lost his appetite long ago after not seeing Lin Zhi.

He shook his head slightly and dragged his heavy steps upstairs.

Upon returning to the bedroom and looking at the battlefield where the two had been intimate the night before, her gloomy mood vanished instantly.

At least, the distance between him and Lin Zhi has shrunk another step.

It's only a matter of time before he can win Lin Zhi's forgiveness and remarry her.

His phone rang at just the right moment.

As soon as the call connected, the assistant immediately said, "Mr. Li, why haven't you come to the company yet? Today is the award ceremony held by the Jewelry Association to honor your wife as an outstanding young designer. If you don't send the message to the scene soon, you might miss your wife's most glorious moment."

Why didn't you say so sooner? I'll be there right away.

After hanging up the phone, Li Tingze rushed out the door to the scene without even having time to tidy himself up.

Today is Lin Zhi's most shining moment, and he absolutely cannot be absent.
