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

"Mr. Li doesn't want a divorce. The fact that he chose to bring you here shows your importance in his heart."

"I'll put in a good word for you with Old Huo about the cooperation between the two companies."

Mrs. Huo gave Lin Zhi a meaningful look, left these two sentences, and walked towards Mr. Huo.

Lin Zhi felt a deep sense of melancholy.

Outsiders only know that Li Tingze doesn't want to divorce her, but they don't know the real reason why he doesn't want to divorce her.

She was grateful to Mrs. Huo, who was willing to help her even though she knew that Mrs. Huo and Li Tingze were about to divorce.

Li Tingze walked to Lin Zhi's side.

His warm, large hand gripped her slender waist, and his lips brushed against her ear as he whispered, "What did you talk about with Mrs. Huo?"

Lin Zhi looked up and glanced at him.

He said in a low voice, "It should be a sure thing. We can talk to President Huo later."

Li Tingze handed Lin Zhi a glass of champagne, looking down at her and asking, "Are you that confident, that sure?"

Lin Zhi smiled without saying a word, took his hand, and walked together to President Huo's side.

Just then, Mrs. Huo was praising Mr. Huo and Lin Zhi in front of him, subtly suggesting that Mr. Huo should cooperate with the Li family.

Having been in the business world for so long, how could Mr. Huo not understand his wife's intentions?

He patted Li Tingze on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Li, you have a lot of influence. I've never seen my wife praise anyone like this before. You have a good wife."

Li Tingze smiled faintly, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards Lin Zhi.

She said politely, "Zhi'er is still young and doesn't understand many things. In the future, as the Huo family and the Li family deepen their cooperation, we will have to trouble you, sister-in-law, to give her more guidance."

Mrs. Huo continued, "Lin Zhi and I are alumni, so naturally we should be closer."

Mr. Huo understood and raised his glass: "I look forward to the cooperation between our two companies."

Li Tingze clinked glasses with him.

After drinking the wine, the cooperation was tacitly agreed upon.

After the family dinner ended, everyone left with their families.

As the car drove off the main road, Lin Zhi called for it to stop at the intersection.

Just as she was about to get out of the car, Li Tingze grabbed her wrist, handed her a check for ten million, and said in a low, hoarse voice, "Come home with me now and take a nap, and the ten million will be yours."

Lin Zhi looked down at the numbers on the check, her eyes welling up with tears.

She looked at him with dismay: "Li Tingze, we're no longer in a relationship where we do these kinds of intimate things."

After saying that, she went to open the car door to get out.

The next second, she fell into a warm chest, and was pressed down on the leather car seat. Before she could react, the person on top of her had already captured her lips and kissed her forcefully.

He kissed her very eagerly, his hands restlessly touching her most sensitive areas.

After kissing her for a while, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Lin Zhi, sleeping with me can solve all your current troubles. Don't you really want something so good?"

Lin Zhi did not reply.

She stared at him coldly, without saying a word.

Seeing that she didn't react, he softened his touch, gently cradling her and continuing to kiss her.

He had never been so gentle in all these years.

Lin Zhi knew in her heart that his gentleness at this moment was just a sign that he was certain he had her firmly under his control.

Her heart was filled with sorrow.

Deep down, she was extremely unwilling to return to his side and continue being a soulless Mrs. Li.

But she couldn't just stand by and watch Lin Wanxin die because she couldn't get a heart transplant in time.

This is the only family member she has left in the world.

She couldn't leave without saving him.

Ten million is like a piece of meat hanging from the roof beam.

If she wants to eat, she must pay the price.

Her face was pale, her lips trembled, and she stared straight at him: "After this, will you let the Lin family off the hook? Will you stop trying to make things difficult for me?"

Li Tingze's hawk-like eyes darkened.

He gently pinched her chin with his long, slender fingers and chuckled, "Why do you think I'm making things difficult for you instead of giving you the most comfortable path? Is everything you're going through really because of me?"

Before she could reply, he pressed her closer, his tone laced with sarcasm: "If you hadn't insisted on divorcing me, how much money you wanted would have been nothing more than a matter of asking, and the cooperation with the Lin family wouldn't have ended up not being renewed."

He lowered his head and gently kissed her lips. "Stop being emotional with me. Come home with me now. Nothing will change. You'll still be Mrs. Li."

Lin Zhi was somewhat lost in thought after hearing what he said.

I was almost persuaded.

She gripped her palms tightly, trying to stay alert at all times.

She struggled to her feet: "Li Tingze, why do you have to torture me like this? Why can't you divorce me and we part amicably? I just want to live a normal life. I don't want to be a walking corpse, Mrs. Li anymore. Is that so hard?"

As she finished speaking, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

His tone was full of pleading.

Li Tingze's face immediately darkened.

It was obvious that he was angry.

He pinched her chin and asked, "Things have come to this point, and you still want to divorce me, is that it?"

Lin Zhi closed her eyes in despair.

"Correct."

"Okay, I'll make it happen for you!"

Li Tingze slowly withdrew his hand, sat up straight, and leaned back in his chair, his voice cold and indifferent: "Don't regret it after the divorce. See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow at ten o'clock!"

Lin Zhi got out of the car in a disheveled state, watching the luxury car speed away, her heart aching.

He finally agreed to the divorce, but she didn't feel as relieved as she had imagined.

The night before the divorce was extremely difficult.

She tossed and turned all night, but still couldn't fall asleep. Finally, she dragged her tired body to the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau.

It's ten o'clock sharp.

Li Tingze was wearing a black haute couture suit, and his tall and straight figure made him particularly eye-catching.

People passing by him would take a second look.

Lin Zhi looked at him quietly, suppressing the tears welling up in her eyes.

Li Tingze was the same, quietly looking back at her, his eyes filled with complex and unfathomable emotions.

Before going in.

Li Tingze said in a hoarse voice, "Urban villages are a mixed bag. It's not safe for you and your mother to live in a place like that. I will transfer the ownership of the large apartment you are currently living in to your name, and I will pay your mother's medical expenses in a lump sum every year."

She said she wanted to part ways amicably.

He ultimately couldn't bring himself to kill her.

Lin Zhi lowered her eyes and said okay.

The two stood in silence for a while before walking into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Their marriage is finally coming to an end.
