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

After washing up, Li Tingze lay in bed for a long time.

But I wasn't sleepy at all.

His mind replayed every intimate moment he and Lin Zhi had shared in this room over the years.

Looking back now, it has become the past.

A knock sounded at the door, and the maid cautiously spoke from outside: "Mr. Li, the dishes are ready."

Li Tingze got out of bed, opened the door and walked out of the room, taking the food box from the maid.

As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he saw a familiar figure standing at the door of Lin Zhi's ward.

He could recognize Shen Mubai just from a side profile.

Shen Mubai was holding a bunch of purple tulips in his hands.

Li Tingze frowned, a surge of anger rising in his chest.

He wanted to go up and stop them, but he didn't take a single step.

If he makes a fuss and Lin Zhi finds out, she'll probably hold a grudge against him again.

So he waited until Shen Mubai went inside before approaching.

He looked at the two people in the ward through the glass window.

In the ward.

Lin Zhi struggled to sit up, and Shen Mubai thoughtfully stepped forward to help her, his movements extremely careful, as if he were protecting a precious treasure.

He sat on a chair next to the hospital bed and placed a bank card in front of Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi looked confused.

Shen Mubai smiled gently and said, "Mrs. Huo is very satisfied with your design. She wore it to the press conference and received praise from everyone. There is 300,000 in this card, which is the bonus you received for participating in this project."

"Thank you," Lin Zhi said softly.

Shen Mubai looked at her right hand, which was in a cast, and comforted her, "Take good care of yourself. Once your hand is fully healed, there's a big project for the company that I hope you'll be in charge of. This project is of great importance, and I won't feel at ease without your involvement."

Lin Zhi looked down at the bank card in her hand, her eyes welling up with tears.

Finally, she achieved something through her own abilities.

She nodded and said, "Mr. Shen, thank you for your kind consideration. I will definitely cooperate fully with the treatment and strive to return to the team as soon as possible to serve the company."

“Okay, I…we’ll wait for you.” Shen Mubai said, handing another application form to Lin Zhi. “I signed you up for a jewelry program without your permission. If you’re selected as a guest, the appearance fee is three million. I think you’ll want to get that fee.”

Lin Zhi was surprised and delighted, and a faint smile appeared on her face.

She said gratefully, "Mr. Shen, you've done so much for me, I don't know how to thank you enough..."

"Sister Zhi'er, don't feel guilty." Shen Mubai smiled slightly. "It's my honor to be able to do something for you."

Lin Zhi was stunned.

She looked up at the warm smile on Shen Mubai's face, her heart filled with indescribable emotions.

Everyone here is an adult; she knows why Shen Mubai is so kind to her.

However, she was not entitled to reciprocate his feelings for her.

She can't drag a good person down any longer.

Noticing her low spirits, Shen Mubai politely said, "I still have things to take care of at the company. You should get some rest. I'll come see you another day."

"Okay, thank you."

Lin Zhi watched Shen Mubai leave, her slender fingers tightly gripping the bank card.

As soon as Shen Mubai closed the ward door, his shoulder was pulled hard and he was pressed against the wall.

Li Tingze held Shen Mubai down firmly with one hand and said indifferently, "Mr. Shen, you are not allowed to disturb my wife without my permission, and don't even think about taking advantage of her."

Instead of maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor, Shen Mubai rudely shoved Li Tingze.

Her tone turned colder: "Mr. Li, the news of your impending divorce has already spread throughout the industry. Since you can't take good care of Zhi'er, then let go and let me take good care of her. Someone you don't cherish, I will treat like a treasure."

These words touched a nerve with Li Tingze.

He raised his fist and slammed it hard into Shen Mubai's face.

Shen Mubai didn't back down either, and threw a punch back.

However, he was used to being polite and his punches weren't strong enough, so Li Tingze intercepted them.

Li Tingze shoved him hard, his hawk-like eyes flashing with bloodthirsty coldness. "If you insist on stealing my woman, then be prepared to be trampled underfoot by the Li family at any time. It's not like the Li family can't acquire your Shen family's lousy jewelry company!"

Shen Mubai chuckled, his eyes filled with sarcasm as he looked at Li Tingze.

He asked, "President Li, you've used this same tactic on Zhi'er as well, haven't you?"

Li Tingze froze, his face turning ugly.

Shen Mubai didn't dwell on it, leaving behind the words, "What else can you get besides a body?" before departing.

Li Tingze felt a surge of anger, his face dark as he watched Shen Mubai's disappearing figure.

The thought of Lin Zhi's charming smile after Shen Mubai's words ignited a fire in his chest.

She had only ever given him that kind of smile when they were newly married.

Now, that smile belongs to a man other than him!

In an instant, his original idea of ​​setting her free vanished.

He would never allow her to become another man's woman.

She can only ever be his woman!

Even if all that's left is a shell, he doesn't intend for her to have any relationship with other men!

Li Tingze pushed open the door and entered the ward.

Lin Zhi looked up at him, and the smile on her face vanished instantly.

She put her bank card into her bag, but as soon as she touched the bag, Li Tingze snatched the card away.

He stared intently at the bank card and sneered, "You accepted Shen Mubai's money because you plan to leave me and go with him?"

"Li Tingze, don't talk nonsense."

Lin Zhi didn't snatch the bank card back. She lay back on the bed, gazing at him calmly for a long while before finally speaking, "Mu Bai and I don't have the kind of relationship you're thinking of. This money is mine..."

He interrupted her: "You'd rather threaten suicide than leave me. Do you like him that much?"

Lin Zhi sighed softly and asked with a wry smile, "Li Tingze, what kind of answer do you want to hear from me to be satisfied?"

As she finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes, tears sliding down her cheeks.

Looking down at her with her eyes closed and refusing to talk, Li Tingze felt a dull pain in his chest.

He tugged at his shirt collar, leaned down, and fiercely seized her lips, venting all the fire in his heart into that kiss.

The kiss was forceful and rough.

Lin Zhi tried to bite him several times to end the fight, but he dodged her each time.

She was like a fish on a chopping board, completely at his mercy.

His hands seemed to have magic power, causing every inch of her skin to tremble slightly as they roamed over her body.

She wanted to escape, but no matter what she did, she couldn't escape his control!

When he tried to take things further with her in the hospital bed, she gave up struggling and broke down in tears.

Why would he let her continue to live and suffer?

Why couldn't he treat her better?

Why is fate treating her this way?

Why……
