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

"Could you lend me 500 million? I need it urgently."

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a golden glow on Li Tingze.

He was so high and mighty, looking down on everyone.

Lin Zhi looked up and stared directly into Li Tingze's eyes, her fingers clenched tightly, anxiously awaiting his reply.

Li Tingze remained silent for a long time, his hawk-like eyes fixed on her calmly.

She saw a smile in his eyes.

Suddenly losing all hope, he lowered his eyes and sighed.

The next second, his slender fingers lifted her chin, scrutinized her pale face, and said calmly, "You should have known before you came that I am a businessman and I never lend money for free. You have no assets and you insist on divorcing me. Five hundred million may be a small amount for me, but I never do a losing business that I never repay."

A cold, indifferent sentence left Lin Zhi speechless.

She was just an ordinary person with nothing.

They really can't repay the huge loan.

However, she knew what he wanted from her.

Her tone was almost pleading: "Yes! I really can't repay the money in a short time. Tingze, I'm here to beg you today. I hope you can do what you suggested last time: 100,000 for each time we sleep together, and if we sleep together for two years, then I'll consider it as me paying off my 500 million. Is that okay?"

After saying that, she climbed onto his arm in a pleading manner, looked up at him, and her eyes glistened with tears.

The posture was more humble than ever before.

Li Tingze raised his hand and gently touched her delicate cheek, then moved down to her exquisite collarbone, and further down to her alluringly soft skin.

But he didn't go down; instead, he stopped at just the right spot.

This caused Lin Zhi to tremble slightly all over.

She swallowed nervously and asked, "Does the suggestion from last time still stand?"

She was met with a sneer.

Li Tingze's tone was cold: "I never wait for things to expire. Besides, I've been sleeping with your body for five years now, do you think I'd still be interested?"

Lin Zhi stood there, stunned, tears welling up in her eyes and sliding down her cheeks.

She quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her eyes red as she asked, "What do I have to do for you to lend me five hundred million?"

"You've been making a scene from the very beginning. I even warned you that you couldn't handle the consequences of leaving me." Li Tingze was clearly angry, his tone cold and furious. Every word he uttered was like a bullet striking Lin Zhi's heart. "But you insisted on leaving me. Now, not only do you not have the attitude one should have when asking for help, you're even questioning me about what I want! Don't you think your actions are ridiculous?"

Lin Zhi's tightly clenched fingers were scraped.

She restrained herself and told herself that no matter what Li Tingze said, she had to accept it calmly.

She needed his help.

Even when cruel words are spoken, her heart still aches.

"You still don't understand why I'm divorcing you. But it's okay, I can tell you now." Lin Zhi held back her tears, a bitter smile curving her lips as she said self-deprecatingly, "We've been married for five years. Aside from when you had physical needs and would come back to that house to vent your frustrations on me, you almost never stayed a second longer. And no matter what I was doing, no matter when or where, whenever you wanted, you would disregard my feelings and vent your frustrations on me, without any gentleness. Afterwards, you would leave heartlessly, leaving me alone in this huge house. And that's not all, you even..."

“Every time I finished, my assistant would transfer money to me, making me feel like a tool for your amusement with a price tag, rather than your lawfully wedded wife.”

“For the past five years, there has been a third person in our marriage; you and she even had a child together…”

Li Tingze coldly interrupted her: "So that's what you think?"

Lin Zhi smiled bitterly, her voice filled with sorrow.

What else could she think?

However, none of this matters anymore.

She lowered her stance again, pleading humbly: "Now I just want you to be generous and lend me 500 million, considering we were once husband and wife. If paying off the debt with sex is not feasible, we can find another way. As long as I can do it, just name your price."

Li Tingze's face darkened.

He gripped her chin, his gaze sweeping over her entire body, his tone cold and indifferent: "What do you have left besides this body?"

As he finished speaking, his cold, large hand moved down her neck to her fair legs. He knew her body very well, and in just a few moments, he made her tremble all over.

An ambiguous atmosphere was ignited.

Temperatures are rising steadily.

Just when Lin Zhi thought Li Tingze would do the most intimate thing with her on the sofa in the office, Li Tingze suddenly stopped, stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked down at her disheveled appearance.

He said, "Lin Zhi, is that all the backbone you have? You've made a scene for so long, and you still have to come begging to me. If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place?"

Lin Zhi lay motionless on the sofa like a deflated balloon.

His eyes stared blankly upwards.

He looked as if all his energy had been drained away, and he was completely devoid of any soul.

She thought that since he was unwilling to lend it and time was of the essence, there was no need to stay and invite humiliation.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhi slowly sat up and carefully straightened her clothes.

When she looked up at him again, there was a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.

"Mr. Li, since you are unwilling to lend me the money, I will have to find someone else. In such a large city as Beijing, I believe there will always be someone who will be generous to me."

After saying that, she picked up the mess of embarrassment scattered on the ground and headed towards the door.

Li Tingze's face instantly turned ugly. He quickly grabbed her slender wrist and pushed her down onto the sofa.

An inexplicable anger rose in my heart.

He pressed his entire body against hers, gently pinched her chin, stared into her eyes, and asked through gritted teeth, "Do you think I would allow you to beg your junior brother?"

Lin Zhi trembled all over and struggled violently.

Her struggles were not only ineffective, but the physical contact only ignited the fire within Li Tingze, which burned ever brighter.

Since she started filing for divorce, the two have never been intimate again.

At this moment, their bodies were pressed close together, and a familiar feeling swept over them.

He didn't even need to touch her to know how sweet her lips were, how smooth her skin was, and how addictive she was to him in that way.

The sight of her cheeks flushed from her struggle completely ignited the fire that had been burning within him for days.

His lips brushed against her ear as he whispered, "Although I'm no longer interested in your body, you can forget about going behind my back to find other men. As long as I refuse to agree to a divorce, you're still Mrs. Li, and you must behave yourself and not bring shame to the entire Li family!"

The more Li Tingze thought about how her junior brother had relentlessly pursued her during their university years, the more gloomy his face became.

His words were even more aggressive: "You really think I won't make a move against your junior brother?"

Lin Zhi felt ice-cold all over.

Helplessness and despair overwhelmed her, and she broke down in tears.

Whether it was Wen Rongbin ruthlessly kicking her and her daughter out of their home back then, or Li Tingze's cold words to her now, it was all the same.

She didn't dare to resent anyone.

Everything, everything, is just fate.

"You've got it wrong, Mu Bai isn't the same person he was back then..."

Lin Zhi wanted to explain, but Li Tingze swallowed all her words.

He seemed to have been provoked, and his movements were more violent than ever before.

The clothes she was wearing were reduced to shreds in his hands.

408 is scattered throughout every corner of the office.

Like her self-esteem.

Broken to the ground.

He disregarded her feelings and only cared about himself...
